INTERNET MOOCHING SITE - Work

Hi!
I know I have chemo brain (please see below :)  but it isnt so bad that i forgot about this blog!  i was actually out of the country (i am fancy pants)  decided to take a trip to italy and some other places.  i have wanted to go forever and since life is short, i decided to go.  best idea ever!  isnt it true that alcohol kills cancer?..... that is what i lived by during the trip, so shut it if it isnt true! 

although it was fun fun fun, i am happy to be home.  i really didnt think about health stuff while i was there except when i got super tired.  walking miles and miles a day would take its toll on most people, but when you are prone to getting tired from sickiness, it is even more likely.  i went on a cruise (yes the average age was probably 50) i was able to relax and have people wait on me while we were cruising.  it was pretty awesome.  too bad my real life doesnt have someone to clean my condo... those who have seen it can attest to the fact that mary poppins i am not. 

now that i am back, i am full steam ahead with plastic castles.  the huerta clan did the brain cancer walk in the bay area and raised a lot of money for the cause. in true san francisco style, there was a drum circle and other stuff that wonderful.  very different from the LA walk.  we walked along manhattan beach and flea from red hot chili peppers was there.  there were super stylish brain cancer people (my self included of course) and food trucks with snooty food that happened to be yummy.  they gave out coconut water, the new healthy drink that will probably be in the new unhealthy drink when more research is done.  i think the brain cancer walk in LA is in September, but dont quote me on that.  i guess i could look it up but i am still on vacation mood and too lazy :)

the trip was and is bookcased between chemo rounds.  i stopped chemo two days before i had to start the trip and i start chemo now tonight.  it worked out perfectly! nice thing to come back to. although, now i have an excuse to be lazy....   also a chemo plus, i will loose the weight i gained while i ate 24 hours a day on my trip!  yay chemo!!!

one thing that i just figured out is that i have chemo two times in june! and i have an MRI at the end of june.  that stinks because i had one in may! not fair! i know it is the same as it always is, but it seems suckier!  oh well, all i have to keep thinking is chemo equals life. and life equals more vacation!

so, i am hoping to file the necessary paperwork for the plastic castles to become a real life thing.  once that happens the work begins.  i am going to rely on the cancer folk i know because of my brother to help me decipher what the fuck im supposed to do as far as raising money and explaining why raising money is important and what research to try and find when i raise gazillion dollars!  so you know who you are, get ready for me to MOOCH!!

anyway - like i said before in early posts, every post will include a top ten list provided by Planet Cancer.

This one is called WHY TO DATE A CANCER PATIENT

10. I’m a cheap date--probably won't be eating much.
9.  No need to take me to expensive restaurants because, if I do eat, it will probably come right back up.
8.  I can be ready in a jiffy--only have to wash crevices. (EWWW)
7.  Recreational drugs are paid for by insurance.
6.  Commitment-phobic? I'm your dream girl.
5.  Great in the sack. (That one would have made the list either way--but really more so now because I'll often already BE in the sack!) (FAMILY, DONT READ THIS! SOME  THINGS ARE BEST NOT SHARED)
4.  You'll always be the pretty one. BULLSHIT,  :)
3.  Strangers will really think you're special and extra compassionate. ( I LIKE TO SAY, YOU ARE DOING YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE)
2.  You will get first dibs on all my possessions, and since I'm shopping to cover my fear, you'll come out waaay ahead. (MY TV IS PRETTY MUCH ALL I HAVE AND IT HAS BEEN PROMISED TO SOMEONE.  HOWEVER, MY DEBT IS UP FOR GRABS)
1.  With all my wigs, I'll be a different girl every night.

HEEHEE - i like that one. :)
