  • Happy Anniversary!

    One year ago today I had my double mastectomy. I didn’t think I would get emotional, and then the “on this day” post came up on the Facebook feed. As I was reading the updates and words of encouragement, and them my first response out of surgery “Nastiiieeee, yay crackers.”, I started to ponder the…

  • Stuff, Stuff and More Stuff

    So many things going on these days, its sort of a whirlwind! I am in the midst of trying to wrap my head around some sort of schedule. I feel like the last few months I’ve just been flying by the seat of my pants and have no control over anything. Not that there is…

  • Social Media…

    I’ve been spending quite a bit of time on social media these days.  Developing a “presence.” While I create and write stuff it also makes me think. So I guess it’s doing what creating and writing is supposed to do. So that’s a good thing I suppose. I’ve noticed that everyone is very busy these…

  • May Update

    I guess I’m only going to update once a month these days. I’m kind of slacking, but, in my defense, I’ve been super busy with things. So it’s been kind of crazy. So let’s see what’s gone on the last 2 months! Business: Geeze. So much work. I pretty much have most everything in place.…

  • Updates and fun things

    I updated my hair chronicles and I didn’t realize I haven’t posted since the end of January. So Here we are 10 months post chemo, 9 months post surgery and almost 5 months since radiation and treatment ended. Seems like a complete life ago. I still tell people I just moved here because I really…

  • 8 months since chemo. 

    So here I am 8 months after chemo and a week shy of 1 year since diagnosis.  Today to celebrate I got my hair colored! Starting to feel more normal. I don’t have anything against my natural hair color…but getting rid of the gray and lighting it up a bit makes me feel better.  Over…

  • One year ago….

    I really hope I don’t do this forever. Tomorrow is a really big day. First, my one and only child was born 26 years ago tomorrow.  I hope he has a most wonderful day tomorrow.  I miss not being there. It does make me happy that he has started his own life and is starting…

  • Random Scattered Thoughts

    I know it’s a super original header. But at this point, it’s good for me. I’ve been fighting a bit of a cold, lack of motivation and depression the last few weeks. Just really have no desire to do much other than sit and watch tv. My great accomplishment thus far has been to finally…

  • Here we go….

    I was sitting here thinking today….1 year ago was my last day in Colorado before the move to finally be with my husband in Montana. It was a year ago that I had a wonderful dinner with my son and we spent the evening painting the master bedroom and doing the final packing up of…

  • First Change

    RANT! RANT! RANT! First. I know I say this a lot and I know I say this a lot and I never quite follow through. I get sucked into the monster that is Facebook. The problem is I don’t want to unfriend anyone because I do like the people or at least find the people…
