People Are Nuts!!!!

So today, I had dinner plans after work to meet up with my friend Christina.. so I'm driving on the lovely highway am about to get off at my exit, and then this CRAZY guy behind me was full of all sorts of road rage! He was honking his horn, tailing me, revving his engine, it was insane. THEN to top it off, he decided it would be awesome to hit my car with his snazzy Audi and then drive away! Luckily there was no damage (that I've found yet at least) but it was nuts that someone would do that. Thankfully everyone in the world isn't crazy and mean - the guy that was behind the road-rager actually wrote down his license plate number and pulled over with me and waited for the police to arrive. He actually thought I was towing his car that's how far up my ass the guy was... ahhh lovely Massachusetts drivers :) Anywho, the cop was headed to the guys house to ask him what the hell he was thinking, hopefully he'll get a ticket or something and of course, some bad karma!

Just thought I would share my lovely evening.

I Love Long Weekends!

I'm sad that my long weekend is almost over. I feel like I accomplished a lot though. Got in a little fun, a little R&R and accomplished all of my errands that I've been putting off for the past month! It feels like a huge weight being lifted off my shoulder. I even went and checked out a gym today - I need to do something about getting back into shape, and since my work will reimburse me up to $1000 I might as well use it! I think I'm going to join it, but I'm going to test it out for the week first to make sure I actually like it. I already booked an appointment with my personal trainer for this Thursday. Best part about him - he's hillllarious, AND his last name is Kelly, sooo I told him we should get married! Ha ha ha! I'm such a loser! And what's that you ask? Is date guy still around? Yeah, he is... but umm I dunno, it seems like we're more friends than getting married. He kinda kisses me like I'm his grandma, and ummm... remember, I was in menopause for a year, I kinda need some action :) So I dunno. Just keeping my options open I guess. I mean I'm just kinda going with the flow for now, but I'm getting a lil antsy...

Hmmm what else is going on. Oh Annie didn't come visit me this weekend as I was trying to plan. Poor mom, she's so stressed with my brother living in their house, nothing like having to babysit a 28 year old man! I wish she could just get away from him and relax, hence my invite to fancytown... maybe another weekend. Next weekend I'll be staying at my parents house, but they won't be there, just me and the pup! I'll be dog sitting until Monday afternoon, which means I get another 3-day weekend and quality time with the dog!

Oh and the anti hodge bonanza is approaching fast!!! It's June 28th!! At first we thought there were 40ish people attending, and it's already gone down to 15ish... it's getting to be annoying to track everyone down to get their RSVPs...soooo if you're reading and you haven't RSVPd you need to tell me by Wednesday! I'm looking forward to finally meeting Veronica and the Wullster!! I'm also approved to take the following week off for work as well, so I'll be off from June 26th or 27th (I forget) until July 14th! Yaaay! I'm really looking forward to a full week at the beach relaxing and swimming and hanging out with my family!

Anywho, that's really it. I just thought I would post since I've been sucking at it lately.

Hope you're all well!

Blast from the past

I went bowling tonight! It was like a chemo blast from the past, little ball bowling and all -- which in case you didn't know, was one of my cancer-cise routines! I actually got really good at bowling when I was sick, I dunno why, but cancer totally made me a good bowler. I suck again :) We did find out that you can cheat and bowl 3 times in one turn by throwing balls fast, one after another it only counts as one turn! Sooo basically, I learned how to cheat so suck on that bowling place!!! :)

Anywho, just wanted to share my fun bowling-tastic findings!

I hope you're all enjoying the weekend. It's supposed to be 80 here on Monday! I'm trying to make Annie come stay the night tomorrow and relax here... hint hint Annie!!

XO!

I Like Green

It's been a while since I've posted and I've been keeping super busy! I just went to a Celtics game today (how excited are you Wullie!?!?) and although I'm sooooo far from a sports fanatic, I had a really good time. And it's the only time I can wear my green sneakers and all the green I want, and totally fit in! It was a close game, but they won. And they handed out free shirts that said playoffs and was umm green :) Oh and I also bought myself a giant green finger!! Yep, I was that asshole!!!

On a post-hodge note -- I was supposed to get my haircut this weekend, which meant it was probably 6ish weeks from my last cut, and I so wasn't ready yet. It's SOOOOOO curly and still has a good amount of growing to do. It'll be fab by hodge bonanza time! It's so weird (but good weird) and thick when I wash it, it's like old times! And of course, my shower is literally FULLY stocked with shampoo from wall too wall.

I went home to visit my parents last weekend for Mother's Day, it was a good time. I like to visit them once in a while because I always get to catch up on my sleep when I'm there, plus I get to see them and my dog! I also cooked them dinner on Saturday, and gave Annie her presents, which included a Hoops and Yo Yo singing card which she loves AND my dog loves too! We got him howling with the card after a few tries! He also made sure to break out all of his lambs for my visit -- there's about 8 of them!! I also took my parents out to dinner on Mother's Day and then headed back to my apartment. So basically, I'm a terrific daughter and made up for my brother being such an asshole.

I'm looking forward to a nice long 3 day weekend next weekend. I have no plans thus far, but I'm okay with that as well! Fingers crossed for a breezy work week!

XO!!

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

So one thing I’ve learned about fighting for my life due to cancer is not to sweat the small stuff, not to dwell on the bad things in life and instead only focus on what is good in my life. I clearly had to grow up very fast when my world was falling apart and I was - and will be everyday - fighting for my life. Everyday people find out they have cancer, or that their cancer is back. Cancer does tremendous things to people, some people unfortunately don’t always win their fight with it – my dear friend Morgan passed away this year after a several year battle with it, she was only 22 with a full life ahead of her. Some people learn their inner strength and what really matters to them.

When things like this happen in your life, it just seems silly to sweat the small stuff, doesn’t it? Some people were offended by a post of mine from a month ago, because I expressed my feelings about a situation that happened at work – but my blog is therapeutic to me (read this article from CNN this week), and although I do understand that the internet is a public forum, my blog is about my personal life and is only intended to be read by my cancer community, close friends, and family. I understand that people may come and go as they please, but I think people should understand that if you’re just dropping by to mock my situations, it’s unacceptable. Until they have actually physically been thru life changing experiences as I have, the small things in life just don’t matter – I don’t care about your roommate drama, or who’s dating who, I’m just taking care of business in my life. I have a job that I love, I have great friends and family – this blog is to share my life experiences with my cancer community, I know that it’s already helped dozens of people with questions, concerns, and needs for support and I’ve actually gotten several thank you notes for being so candid.

I don’t intend to change the integrity and focus of my blog, it’s personal and I understand it – but I think you should think wisely (as I do) about what you say about people’s personal thoughts. I have since taken down my post that has caused such an uproar, although what I said was how I was feeling at that time. But my intention isn’t to offend anyone else, so I have taken it down for that reason. I will be there for any of my friends that ever need me in the drop of a dime, and they know that – it’s the people with the insincere intentions that upset me.
