Happy New Year!!!


I hope everyone had an awesome New Years!!! Ours was nice and quiet. We stayed home and watched movies.

I had chemo on 12/28 and I don't think I recovered until yesterday morning. For some reason this treatment kicked my ass and now to make things worse....Josh has strep throat. He has been in bed for 2 days and has a 10 day supply of penicillin. He seems to be feeling a little better this afternoon. It's so cute, our new kitten Stuart has been keeping him company.

The weather has been pretty crazy around here lately. On Friday, the girls and I went to get my oil changed on my Jeep. Well instead of waiting at Speedee Oil Change, we walked over to Jack in the Box. It was raining a little on the walk over but on the way back it was raining so bad that the puddles were above my ankles. We were SOAKED!!! Gotta love the rain!!!

I better get going so I can get the girls some dinner. I hope everyone is doing well and is looking forward to 2008 like I am!!

Happy Holidays!!

Wow, I can't believe how time flies. I've been meaning to get on and do some blogging but every time I turn around something gets me distracted. Now that Christmas is over, I will be able to find more time.

The last couple weeks have been crazy for me. My last chemo treatment was December 7th. I was supposed to have treatment on December 21st but I ended up catching Taylor's cold. So that pushed back my chemo by another week, so I go in for treatment 6B tomorrow. I'm really hoping for no more reasons to push back my treatments. If everything goes as scheduled from here on out, I should have my last treatment on February 22nd. That is assuming I do the full 8 cycles (16 treatments)!!

We had a very nice Christmas this year. Josh's Nana, Aunt Tina and cousins; Chris and James came down from Redding. We decided this year we would try something new for dinner. Instead of the typical ham or turkey dinner, we had Steak, Crab Legs and Bacon wrapped Scallops. Since I don't eat seafood, I had steak; which was awesome!! The girls tried the crab legs but wouldn't go near the scallops. I hope they don't grow up like me....picky!!! Josh will pretty much try anything once and I'm hoping that rubs off on the girls.

Josh and I were able to get the girls the Nintendo WII this year. Talk about a journey getting it though. Josh and I got up really early a couple weeks ago to stand in line at Circuit City to be 3 away from getting one. Luckily Nana and Aunt Tina ended up finding one in Redding. They waited 3 hours in line to get it. Talk about crazy. People were putting them on Craigslist and EBAY for $200 more than what the stores were selling them for. No way were we going to pay that!! Anyway, I am so glad we got it. It is so much fun. Josh and I actually stayed up last night playing golf, bowling and baseball. I kicked his butt at bowling but he kicked my butt at golf.

Okay, I'm rambling. I hope that you all had a very nice Holiday Season! I will try better to write more often. To all my cancer friends, I'm sorry I haven't stopped by and left comments lately, I have been reading each of your blogs and promise to stop by soon.

Love you all!!

Happy Birthday

Today is Josh's 29th Birthday!!!
We went out to Musashi's on Saturday for his dinner. It is a Japanese restaurant where they cook in front of you. It was awesome!
I've put together a little slide show.
Enjoy!

Back to Chemo

Well I met with my Oncologist yesterday and she is okay with me starting chemo again next Friday, December 7th. If my surgery wouldn't have been laparoscopic I would have had to wait 4 weeks before starting again. Thank goodness the surgery went the way I wanted it to, I really didn't want to wait that long. She did want me to get new blood work done, so I went downstairs to the lab. An hour later, I was finally on my way home. They had one guy working in the lab and 25 people in the waiting room. It was crazy!

So now that Thanksgiving is done, who's ready for Christmas? Who has their trees up? Decorations up? Shopping done? Not me. The other night Taylor spotted the top of a house that got our attention so we drove through the neighborhood until we found it. (Pictures below) All I can say is these people had a lot of time on their hands.

I better get going so I can do my Saturday morning chores. Gotta get that never ending laundry done.
