Not a lot of people have asked about the scar. It’s actually not that visible. But I have used a few of these – especially the “horrible boomerang accident” story! People just look at me kind of funny and then it slowly dawns on them that I’m pulling their legs. It’s really quite fun!! 
There’s actually 12 stories here. Feel free to add more.
1. Tattoo gone horribly wrong
2. Hot date. Guy gave me such a hicky, I had to get stiches
3. Catching arrows with friend. The arrow slipped out of my hand.
4. Bar fight – you should see the other guy
5. Fending off terrorists in the Middle East
6. My hairdresser slipped with the scissors
7. Running with the bulls in Pamplona
8. Attacked by an angry Rhino
9. Boomerang accident **
10. Attacked by a javelina
11. Protecting a small child from a tiger in Bengal
12. Marauding pirates in mid-town.
** My current favorite!

Top Ten Scar Stories
Giblet Removal
On August 10, 2007, I had my giblets removed, also known as a total thyroidectomy. It’s taken me a little while to get this onto the blog. But quick summary is that it all went well and I’m recovering nicely!
On that Friday morning, Mom and Dad picked me up at home and drove me to the hospital. After signing in, we were handed a light-up coaster ~ the kind you would get at a very busy restaurant!! Turned out to be pretty handy. They used it to call me up to register. Then when it was time for me to get prepped, they gave the coaster to my parents so that they would know when everything was done. I kept waiting for the waitress to bring me my drink with an umbrella. She never did show up. Hmm.
After chatting with the doctor and his assisting doctor, and getting an IV plugged into my hand, the anesthesiologiest came in to bring me my cocktail. I had been told that I would begin to get drowsy and that in the operating room, they would ask me to get onto the operating table. Then she squirted in the juice.
I said goodbye to Mom and Dad and they started rolling me out of the pre-op room. Then I woke up in recovery. I don’t even remember making it out of my little pre-op room!! Click on the picture below to see all the pics from recovery.

House is still for Sale
So my house is still for sale. My listing ran out and my realtor suggested that I try For Sale By Owner (FSBO) so that I could reduce the price. I’ve added a link to my photo album. If you know of anyone interested in a 3 bedroom/2 bath home in NW Tucson, please send them to this site! They can e-mail me by posting a comment on this blog.
