I’m really not a morning person. So being at the hospital in Seattle (45 min from home) at 5:15a, especially after picking up my little brother at the airport at 11:30p last night, is REALLY not my idea of fun. However, today is not about me.  Today is about mom. She’s scheduled to go first […]

I’ve been wearing a lot of lipstick lately. It’s hard to feel like a girl with franken-boobies, tiny eyelashes, and hair that bald men are jealous of… but to the rest of the world, still looks pretty dang bald. I don’t think I was really a girly-girl growing up, although I was never really a […]

My son’s teacher wanted the children to write individual notes to each student.  So we made felt fortune cookies, and my 9 year old typed out the “fortunes” to each of his friends. I’m pretty sure that my kid is the cutest thing ever… so I have to share with all of you. Mrs. R- […]

I go in every three months for a while, so I suppose that I shouldn’t expect much from my doctors visits, but this one was pretty uneventful.  I’d actually planned to write an update Tuesday, but there was so little new to say that I just wasn’t feeling it. Here’s the basics.  I told them how […]

I’ve been wanting to make a little slide show to show off my hair… but thought that at least this little gallery shows my progress. The sidekick thinks I’m crazy but I may go visit my stylist this weekend to even up the hairs that never fell out with the ones that are growing back. No […]

Because they’re not actually boobies. My mom was up for another doctor’s appointment this week, and I realized as I started to walk into the loft to grab something topless and stopped myself, I really don’t think of them as boobs right now. They are more Franken-Boobies. I’m about to go have another night of […]

As happens to me often, I really don’t even know where to start. Physically, I’m doing well. I have some neuropathy in my feet, but it doesn’t HURT, just makes my toes and the balls of my feet feel a little numb.  My eyelids itch like crazy, since my eyelashes are desperately trying to come […]
