Picture Day

Today is the day for my colonoscopy:+( I'm sitting here getting hungry waiting to go (it's only at 11:15). So I thought I would blog about the experience so far. Yesterday I had to do the prep everyone says that's the worse part. I personally did think it was that bad. Drinking the stuff is bad after about 4 glasses you feel like you want to vomit. You have to drink about a gallon of liquid 8 oz every 30 to 45 minutes. They give you flavor packs to put in it. You can choose from cherry, pineapple, orange or lemon-lime. I chose cherry, which may have been a mistake. Now the thought of cherry turns my stomach. I heard horror stories of how people just start exploding before they can get to the bathroom. Some say it just comes out with no warning. So I was prepared for the worst. BUT that didn't happen to me. It took about 4 hours to start working and when it did I always had enough time to head to the bathroom. People said to take reading material along because you will be there for awhile. Also another thing that I didn't experience. I went in did my business which didn't take that long and went back out to the couch to watch the soaps. So to sum things up.......for me so far it hasn't been that bad. Stayed turn for more information and pictures:+))))))))) Just Kidding no pictures I know that I look good from the inside out!!

Christmas Vacation in DE

The house is all decorated for Christmas inside and out. When we moved to PA to DE my husband got rid of all his outside Christmas decorations. He said he was done with that.....Yea right. This is the man who had to put in extra electrical breakers just for his Christmas lights. BUT he said he always did it for the kids. So now here he are with Clark Griswold of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation living with us again. Well I don't think he ever left. He has gone out and gotten a musical player that makes all the lights flash with the music and has giant Christmas balls on the trees out front. The bight side of all of this is he did not put up his blow up Santa and Frosty this year. One of the neighbors called and told him how great his yard looks... THANKS now there will be no stopping him!! He has told me already that after Christmas he is going out to buy another musical player so he can put up even more lights next year.
