What I Know…

It's time for another one of my oddball lists.  Yes, just like that one I wrote many moons ago about all of those things I have learned since Kindergarten!  Here's my "New Normal" List of "Stuff I Know" -- -- Hot flashes and night sweats come straight from the Devil, and are actually Hell here … Continue reading What I Know…

Cleansed…

I am moaning and complaining about my EXTREMELY sore muscles today.  Honestly, "Salute the Sun" and "Downward Dog" have torture capabilities I have never imagined! This morning, I finally made it to our local organic farmer's market.  🙂  This is what I did for my childrens' play date with their friends: dragged them all out … Continue reading Cleansed…

Crazy…

Out of necessity, I have been quiet on here for a bit.  My last surgery was one that involved no anesthetic - just a mild sedative to send me into a "twilight sleep." Yeah.  I've been in that twilight sleep for a week!  I have the haziest of memory of the days immediately following surgery, … Continue reading Crazy…

A Blog on Boobies…

Yes, that's my title.  That's my topic.  This strange journey began with a bilateral mastectomy on May 16, 2011.  At that time, I can't say what I really expected.  I remember what the people around me were saying - trying to reassure me that I would still be beautiful.  I was more focused on "get … Continue reading A Blog on Boobies…

Champions in Wax

To decompress prior to tomorrow's surgery, Lara Croft and I ran away to Los Angeles. While there we opted to be honest to goodness tourists, and so we headed out to Madame Tussaud's. While we were there, I found Rocky Balboa - scant days after he titled this blog. 🙂 Here I am checking out … Continue reading Champions in Wax

Groundwork…

My next blog today will have some pictures from this past weekend, and I need to lay a bit of groundwork here briefly. I jokingly call my better half, Lara Croft the Tumour Raider.  This is actually a funny on a couple of levels, really.  Of course there is the humorous take on the Tomb … Continue reading Groundwork…

Save the Last Dance…

I like to sing: a lifetime in choirs will do that to a girl. I do have a bit of trouble following the lyrics correctly. 🙂 I like to sing "Save the Last Dance" to Lara, with my own twist, which I'm feeling silly enough to share. First, the actual lyrics: "Save The Last Dance … Continue reading Save the Last Dance…

Afternoon Adventures…

So, I have these sliding glass doors.  Multiple locks, plus dowel type rods, just to be safe. I accidentally knocked the rod down into the track! Here I was, locked into my sunroom, the entire outdoors at my disposal.  :/  Didn't bring my phone out with me, or else I could have called my spare … Continue reading Afternoon Adventures…

The Dance…

Once I would have called it a delicate ballet the pulse at my temple the whirling thoughts -- or even a tiny tap dancer doing some high kicks and twirls and keeping me up at night -- but today I have Flamenco dancers a Rockette line A family of cloggers behind my eyes leaving me … Continue reading The Dance…

Stuff MY Dad Says…

I considered going with the title of the other one, but opted out of including the word S*** in here today.  I'm all chipper and cheerful this morning, so the profanity doesn't really do it for me. Today's blog is a short list of stuff my Dad says - stuff that pops into my head … Continue reading Stuff MY Dad Says…
