Keri- It's the magic leopard print scarf :) How are you doing today? I just went for a decent walk outside. It was good to get out there, and I felt less self-conscious because I was wearing a hat to keep my head warm. Today has been a good day so far :)

You know I really must have a chat with the 3G honchos over at Blackberry.  This lil Barbie Doll puter will NOT let me see pics on the forum! WILL NOT!  It sucks.  Other site, picture all over the place but here? Noooooooooo! Guess I'll have to wait till I can get to a Big Girl Puter! See ya soon, Kim!

Wow Kim.  I can't believe how good you look!  I hope I do that well with my surgery on the 5th!  I'd be happy to receive the scarf next, and wear it proudly as a man :) (unless Steph wants it).
 
Less than 2 weeks away for me...I'm getting a bit nervous now :).

Kim,
Rather than surgery, you look like you just won a prize!  Well, maybe you did.  ;D  You look great and I am so happy for you.
