I woke up this morning to the smell of Trader Joe's pecan cinnamon buns. The smell was overpowering, and I was feeling adventurous. Despite my mother's doubt that I could eat it, I grabbed a sticky bun off the platter, put it on to my plate, ripped off a hunk of the warm bready pastry and popped it in my mouth. Then to my amazement, I discovered that I was able to chew! I gently ground the bread with my teeth and swallowed. I was able to finish the entire bun.
I looked at the date a realized that it was September 1st which meant Gossip Girl was on tonight. I immediately tried to distract myself by adding music to my Ipod, and watching movies. I was also grateful that my friend Jordan in Arizona called. We were able to gush together about how excited we were for the new season to begin, and I had not talked to her since the night before my surgery. Then, as I was putting the final sentence on my Government homework I checked the clock. 7:59...one more minute!
I cleared my family out of the family room, minus my sister who is also an avid fan of the show, and planted myself on the couch. I changed the channel to The CW and was soon immersed in the world of the rich, young and tan Upper East Siders, now vacationing in the Hamptons. Speaking of tan, Penn Badgley's makeup artist has either applied too much fake tanning solution, or has not taken the time to rub the solution in. Poor Penn is absolutely orange and this is exaggerated by his crisp white suite. I am quickly distracted by the fact that Penn's character Dan has gotten back together with Serena, played by Blake Lively. Dan and Serena broke up last season, much to my upset. Penn and Blake make a cute onscreen (and offscreen????) couple. Throw in an english lord fighting with the villain you love to hate, Chuck Bassfor the affection of Blair( Blair's best line of the night? "Damn that motherchucker...I hate that Chuck Basstard!) and the boyishly handsome Nate's affair with an older, married woman that Serena is pretending to date him to cover it up? Oh yeah, its gonna be a fantastic season!
You Know I Loved It!

Arielle!!!! I love Wolfy post-op. He looks just like my surgeon when I had my arm fixed. Except he's a little shorter, hairier, and his nose is blacker. Otherwise, twins!!
I'm so glad to hear you are past the worst.
Keep doing that posterior-lateral breathing!
