Heya Kids!
Just chillin, enjoying the warmth of the September sun, getting ready to stop by and see my mom, continue on to Target because as you all know, that's my favorite place on Earth, and stop by a little birthday party. My first real outing with my friends since my mom's diagnosis.
However, before I journey off for the afternoon, I wanted to share this little note with you. It is actually my mom's new "About Me" from her Myspace page. Yeah, I stole it...so? I thieved it and I'm proud.
My Journey Stuck in a Chinese Fortune Cookie Factory or.. oh yea I have can Cancer so let's move on.... Imagine my surprise on July 27th I found out I had lung Cancer that had metastasized to my brain..HA and here I thought I was just having my usual blond moments with a twist.
But don't cry for me Argentina. Because quite frankly I am over that and just want to see smiling faces. All my life I have been considered upbeat and positive. Michelle aka Maxx used to detest having her friends meet me cause they would say "Why can't you be like your Mom. She so positive." (Believe me she is SO that now!)She would always call me the cheerleader, yep that is me.
After all why suck on the pit of a cherry when you can can get the sweet taste from the fruit?
At this date I have now had 3 weeks of radiation and getting ready to do my 3rd round of chemo. WooHoo so much fun. And yes all I have on my chrome dome now is peach fuzz. Kind of refreshing and yet who would know that a bald head would sweat so much.
I always knew that I had an amazing and loving family and friends but I never really knew how many, how helpful, how supportive and loving each and everyone of them truly are. So remember to thank your blessings everyday.
But I must say Nick and Michelle are my DREAM TEAM(the NBA has nothing on these two!!!)Maxx has been my secretary answering calls,making appointments. She has been my juicer,and my lunch maker, my chauffeur to most all my appointments and on and on. And Nick has been my rock, my shoulder and some of my insanity. He hovers over me like his baby chick (well he really calls me his Petal) None the less I love you both... I love you ,love you babies I love you.
Ok so that is My Journey...now I am going back to the Chinese Fortune Cookie Factory cause quite frankly it's a funnier place. (yea I said funnier)
Thanks again for all of the support, comments, phone calls, cards, emails, prayers and claps! I can even begin to explain or express how much all of your kindness means to us. Frequently, your love pushes us through and makes us smile from the inside out. So, if you wouldn't mind, please, please keep it coming!
Hearts and hugs to every last one of you!

Hi from Waimarama - I loved reading your blog. Nick's hair on dress up day looks a lot like Leig's this month. Karen your looked great as a pirate although I am not sure who let you have such a big knife.
The days here are getting longer and warmer so it is about time you came back. I am sure the good clean sea air will do you all wonders, Michelle I hear you have a new man in your lfe. Lucky guy is all I can say
Have you been to Disneyland again since we all went last year? I loved the time we spent together it was so much fun.
Take care I will be back again soon to post more. I would have posted sooner but couldn't work out how.
