Keepin' it light

January 2, 2009

Things that made me smile today:

• Seeing our neighbor's yard that had both Christmas decorations and a tree full of ripe grapefruit in it when I went for my walk. That kind of juxtaposition for a Midwestern girl is pretty funny. (And yes Mom, I went for a MILE walk today.)
• Checking out the apparel and accessories at http://www.cafepress.com/jpouchgroup/427857 for people who no longer have a colon! I especially like the "I'd like to buy a bowel," mug and the "Got Guts?" t-shirt.
• Talking with my sister and planning a weekend trip to Vegas with her; just my sister and me! My smile was extra big when I heard my brother-in-law get a little jealous that he wasn't allowed to go on the trip.
• Dressing for my walk I was able to put on regular workout pants and a regular-sized t-shirt. I didn't have to worry about an ostomy pouch when choosing my wardrobe.
• Every time I go to the bathroom I have to laugh at the arsenal of sore-bum accoutrements that I have handy.
