Made it through surgery all in one piece! Yay!

This is an actual conversation I had with the attending at about 7AM:
him: so, the doctor is going to come in at some point, and she's going to put her initials on the knee we're operating on. and from that moment on, if anyone asks you if we're operating on your left knee, you will say YES or CORRECT ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the big (little) knee surgery. I'm so excited for it to be OVER WITH, because then I can stop talking about it! I must be the most annoying person in the world, constantly using this stupid knee injury as an excuse for not going places/doing things/attending meetings/being in the office/etc ( Read more... )

Made it to London with little drama. The flight was smooth, I slept as much as can be expected while sitting upright, and I'm in the office feeling about 65% fresh ( Read more... )

I went to the orthopedist on Monday, so it's all official -- I'll be having knee surgery sometime in June (so as not to conflict with the Texas festival, or Miss Exotic World). Like lots of other people, I have a torn meniscus, and the ragged bits need to be trimmed. I have two small marks on either side of my kneecap denoting where the holes will ( Read more... )

I forget the exact choice of words now, but this morning I was considering a tweet wherein I referred to myself as [somthing]!amanda.

Frankly, I'm a bit worried to even start this entry, as LJ has been up and down for me all day. That's a gigantic pain in the ass, given that I'm on my second week of vacation, my parents have gone, I've done most of the cleaning/sorting that there is to do in the house, and I'm downright BORED. I guess that's what I get for hoarding all my time ( Read more... )

Okay. I'm not sure how much of this posting is meant to remind me, years from now, of all the times I took off my clothes in public, or if I actually believe some of ya'll will turn up at a show one day. Either way. Here are some burlesque shows I'm in, and you should attend, over the next several weeks:

Last May when I started Weight Watchers, one of the first things I gave up was a daily latte of some sort. My standard had been a grande non-fat vanilla latte, though I'd sneak in a pumpkin spice or toffee nut or mocha or something else every now and then. But I learned right away that this would cost me precious points that I might like to consume ( Read more... )

Before I get into the insanity that is work stuff, let me just say that I am surprised by how MUCH I am looking forward to performing tonight. Just days ago, when I thought about the fact that I'd be running from broadcast rehearsal to Oakland for burlesque, it gave me the cold sweats. But now I'm counting down the hours until I can do something ( Read more... )
