Lisa & I at Mon Ami
Well, Gary was gone on Easter so we decided to have our big family get together after he gets back. But since I did not want to be alone the whole time Gary was gone I decided to go to my sister's house for a few days. On Easter, just she and I went to Mon Ami up at Catawba. We had a fabulous buffet with breakfast food and dinner food. Including omelets, lobster pasta, shrimp, ham, prime rib, and many other items. There was also a dessert buffet. We were there for a couple of hours and really enjoyed each other's company. Her kids were with their dad at his parents. On Monday Lisa & Kenzie and I went to Cleveland for a doc appt for Kenz. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory too. Yum!! Lots of good food this weekend!
I also brought Lisa her birthday present. Heheeee. She had joked about using a salon type hair dryer for her cute little curles. So I picked one up for her. I hope it works great for ya sis!
It's 2010! Time to Reflect...
Almost 18 months cancer-free...how long will it last? Such an aggressive cancer, this damn Leiomyosarcoma! Every CT/MRI I have had since my completion of radiation in August 2008 was VERY stressful. Even when I didn't realize it, "SCAN"XIETY loomed in the back of head. Knowing that I had a 50% chance of the cancer returning. Wondering if NOT having chemo back then was the right path. Since my doc's hadn't dealt with many sarcomas, did they really know the BEST treatments?

The last year and half has brought me so much joy and contentment. To be a GRANDMA! Wow. I love it! To become so much closer to my family. My sis is my best friend now! My husband and I couldn't be any closer. I get to see my daughter and her family every week when I go to babysit my little Maxton. My stepdaughter moved in with our youngest grandson, Marcus, for 6 months. He is a little angel. My Mom has been so much help to me through all my health issues. My stepdad and I have become closer than I ever thought possible. He has been down the cancer road as well. My Mother-in-law has moved closer to us and our relationship has grown. And then I began working at Samaritan and have some wonderful friends! I love that place so much! It's worth the 45 minute drive.
I HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE!
And I know how to live it...by the seat of my pants! :)
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a beer (or tequila) in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "woo hoo, what a ride"
**HEY! DON'T FORGET TO GO TO "OLDER POSTS" JUST ABOVE THIS ON THE RIGHT. LOTS OF COOL INFO THERE TOO! YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ME WITH TIM MCGRAW!
