hi

Hi!  For the time being, I am done with traveling (oh wait, a short trip to Colorado, but that doesnt count...)  I am back and ready to go crazy with plastic castles.  with much modification from suggestions from lots of people, the logo is done!  briar did such a kick ass job on it that the world is going to be amazed!  cause the world cares you know.

i am going to move this blog from blogspot to i think word press or something like that.  i couldnt tell you the difference but those in the "know" (briar) said i have to - so i will - everyone has to do what briar says.


everything on the cancer front seems good.  this last round of chemo was a nightmare.  probably the worst one yet - or the worst one i can remember which isnt saying much these days.  i am not really complaining though.  as my friend andrea says "positivity! without it you could be dead!"  :)

as i have said multiple times, and will lots more multiple times - there is a brain cancer walk the sunday of the first weekend in november.  there is a plastic castles team! we are going to make shirts and be the ppeeerrrtttiiieesssttt team out there!  maybe not the fastest, but the cutest! 

im looking to find somewhere that has good prices on making shirts.  it can be a 2 or 3 color design.  if anyone knows of anyplace please let me know!!! 

i have been going to a support group for cancer patients under 40.  i am not what you would call a joiner of group things, BUT, this group is pretty great. even though we all have different cancers, we all share a very similar life experience.  its amazing to be able to say - i literally couldnt get out of bed - and have someone say, me either.  its really validating that it isnt just me having a really hard time on chemo or dealing with the times when you come out of denial-land and remember what is actually happening to you.  again, im not a joiner, but this has been the best joiner experience i have ever had.

once i get this up on its new home i will post it here.  i think, not sure how this works, but briar does ;)
