Yeah, finally saying goodbye to my gallbladder! GOOD RIDDANCE! Tomorrow is the surgery. It is supposed to be easy...so we'll see :-) I begged and pleaded for the surgeon to do a tummy tuck while he was at it, but he said no--how rude! Oh well, there goes my supermodel career...such high hopes vanishing!
Well, still have the Yes on Prop 8 sign in my yard and on my car...thinking of draping it across my body for Halloween?! Probably would cause a stir....but would give some publicity though.
The whole Prop 8 thing scares me. I can and cannot believe that the world has come to this. Crazy! I discussed it with my Mom, who lives in Colorado and we both were outraged at the fact that gays and lesbians all ready have all of the rights that married couples do under domestic partnership....but that doesn't seem to be good enough! WHY! Now I am going to be forced to accept something that I DO NOT BELIEVE. Better yet, they want to teach it to my children!
Last time I checked, I was the one who carried them for 10 months and then screamed, grunted, and suffered immense pain in labor to birth them! That makes it MY RIGHT to teach them about marriage, love, and life.....NOT THEM! It will be over my cold, dead, brown body when they do. I, along with minorities everywhere, have fought for equality throughout the ages and still fight for it every day.....how dare they ask for tolerance and equality in the same light as my own. Especially when it has all ready been afforded them. That makes me so angry. I am the last one to pull the race card, but not this time. I was born Brown, there is no way for me to hide that...though sometimes in my life I wish I could have. They wish to not only stand out, but be acknowledged, embraced, and counted whether I like it or not!
I have taught my children that everyone is a child of God and deserves to be treated as such. I have also taught them to treat others kindly no matter what they believe or how they choose to live their lives. I don't care who they love or choose to spend the rest of their lives with, but I will be darned if it is shoved down my throat! What I believe is my business and what they believe is theirs. And that should be that....right?! Seems like they are doing to me what they don't want done to them...I don't get it. Prayer is my hope now.

I've known a few people who've had to have their gallbladders removed, and everything went very smoothly. I'm sure it will be the same for you!! That being said....surgery is surgery and it's never what I would call fun!
I hope everything I'm hearing is wrong and that Prop 8 passes with flying colors. Dad was saying that things are getting VERY heated over this. Like you said....at this point prayer (and voting) is our best hope.
