Countdown To Mexico And My Vsg

Have 70 long days to wait for my surgery with Dr. G. Alvarez in Mexico.

I feel just like I did when I was 8 years old, and the JC Penneys Christmas catalog would come out in print. For me, that was the official launch date for the countdown to Christmas every year. (My mother's genius idea was for us to circle the toys we wanted for christmas in that catalog, and she would then tell Santa what we wanted...then she just ordered it by phone! I think she was sooo ahead of her time!). I would scour that catalog, reading every entry on every toy. Weighing the pros and cons of each toy gun, erector set, slot car set, etc. Dreaming of the fun I would have once Santa came to deliver the goods!

Anyway, I am just as excited about my upcoming VSG. This will be the best Christmas present EVER! A real deal changer I am thinking.

In addition to blogging here, I plan on doing a number of youtube videos as well under the same "name" I want to share the experience with all my brothers and sisters in chubbydom. May the Force be with us...always!
