Carrie and Mr. Big

SPOILER**** Am I the only one on the planet who didn't want Carrie and Mr. Big to marry finally in the Sex and the City movie? He is always so off and on again and I just think he will be off on her in the future. I am all about forgiveness but leaving her at the alter was just too much for me to take and I don't think I could ever forgive him. I really think she could do much better, but I guess we always need a predictable happy ending. Oh well, write me hate mail.

Final Preop Meeting

Today I had my final preop meeting with Dr. Lautz. I had to wait an
hour and a half before being seen, but it went well. Basically they
went over my records and I signed a consent form.  As I was leaving
the receptionist told me that she was moving my surgery to the 23rd
instead of the 16th. This gives me only two weeks to recover before I
go to take my summer microbiology class. It bums me out a bit, but at
least I won't have to be on the preop diet while I am in Walt Disney
World next week. After the meeting with the Doctor I had preop blood
work and met with a nurse and the anesthesiologist. My appointment was
at 12, but I didn't get in till about 2 PM. Now there is nothing more
to do but wait.

Manny and Rita Cordeiro Biography

This is a video I made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mike's parents. They truly are special people and we love them very much!

American Idol Is Clearly Not A Vocal Competition!

David Cook wins? The man does not really sing at all. It is clearly a popularity contest and not a vocal competition. David Archuletta completely out sung Cook on Tuesday nites performance. Cook is probably the weakest rocker AI has ever had, although it is tough to beat Constantine Maroulis who has had that title for many years. I look forward to Archuletta's collection of balads that I am sure will be produced within the year. I predict Cook will fade into obscurity like so many.

Congratulations to Gays and Lesbians of California!

Only 48 more states to go before equality is truly all over the United States. Whether gays marry is no one else's business other than the couple involved!

Why Do So Many Chefs Smoke?

I can't believe that I watch Hell's Kitchen. I really think that Gordon Ramsay is an obnoxious jerk... with the people skills of a grapenut. I really love to watch it because of that fact I guess. He really is a person I love to hate, and I don't care how much money would be involved, but I would never work for the man. What I find really interesting is how all of the chefs that are competing... all smoke like chimneys! Season after season, all the contestants light up after work. I wonder why this is. With less than 30% of the population smoking I am wondering if all 30% work in kitchens!

Another Class... Done!

Well, another class is finally completed. I just finished up with Anatomy and Physiology II and I am glad to say that it is over. I know more about the vagina than I ever cared to know! I have run out of classes that I can take online, so my next class will be at the college. I am taking microbiology 3 nights a week in July. It will be weird to actually be back in the classroom... and probably be the oldest person in the room! I am really trying to do some housecleaning before my surgery, so I have reopened my eBay store. Everything must go! Operators are standing by!

Happy 50th Anniversary Rita and Manny!

Mike's Parents have been married 50 years today! Happy Anniversary!
