I am finally back home. I had such a great time in L.A. but it sure is nice to be home. I missed Ted and the children intensely. They had yellow roses, a cake, and balloons for me when I got home. They also had a house full of germs. Erin's sneezing and Teddy has a cough and a fever. The gift that keeps on giving. As I was walking through the airport with Teddy he said, "We have surprises for you at home. Balloons and flowers and a cake! I hope you're surprised!!" I told him not to tell anyone he told me that and I acted very surprised when I saw them.
On Monday, my friend Christi and I went to a taping of The Price Is Right. It was so cool to see the show live. The studio was so much smaller than I expected. The stage was maybe 1.5 times larger than my living room. The audience area was almost that small too. I expected it to be much bigger. It was also very cheesy looking in person. It kind of looked old - like they hadn't painted it since it started 32 years ago. Oh, the magic of television. Bob Barker was great - he told a lot of funny anecdotes in between taping segments. The show will air on April 19th. I was way in the back of the audience and was not called - so don't expect to actually see me. I wasn't too bummed about that, though. It was just so much fun being there. Besides, all 6 contestants lost their games. For 4 of them I would have won if it had been me. Not that I have sour grapes or anything...
Teddy turns 5 on Friday. How did 5 years go by so quickly? He's having a bowling party. I sent out 23 invitations and damn if every single one of them didn't call to say they are coming. I thought only about half would come. At least everyone respected the RSVP this time. When I did Erin's party last year only 3 people RSVP'ed and 14 people showed up. I was so ticked off because I had to give the bowling alley a number and we were off by 11 people which didn't please the bowling alley people too much. The RSVP gets no respect any more...

My surgery is scheduled for April 12th. I'm so anxious to have it done and be on the road to feeling like my old self again. This has been going on since August and I'm just sick of it. I'm sooo looking forward to waking up in the morning and not feeling like someone snuck into my room and spent the night punching me in the back. The hospital is supposed to call me today to set up the preoperative tests - bloodwork and EKG, etc. I will keep you posted...
