As Time Goes By

Hello everyone,


All's well on the chemo front.  Another session done - check it off.  


I am pumped for Thursday.  Dad and I are going to a Joliet race track to zoom around in a Porsche.  Putting the pedal to the metal on an enclosed racetrack is going to be AWESOME.  Some of my favorite moments are driving around with the windows down and music blaring.  I may have to bring my Blondie, Madonna and Pat Benetar CD mix for the drive!


I had another great weekend.  My girlfriends hosted a pot luck dinner on Friday.  A night in with friends is the best medicine.  Angie and her wacky comments had me laughing so hard.  I sat back and soaked in the fact that I was just hanging out with good company.  The dishes were great, but I would have been happy eating burnt popcorn.  Saturday was perfection.  Becca and I had an unplanned date day.  It was a spontaneous day of brunch, shopping, strolling and manicures.  Michela joined us for the manis.  Along our stroll we stopped for cupcakes.  Never underestimate the power of Barbie-pink nails, new high heels and a cupcake.  Combined they make for one very happy girl.  


I complain that I'm not living a normal life.  It's time that I embrace the mini-vacation that I am given.  I am working on sitting back and learning how to relax.  I will soon be able to enjoy time the European way.  Instead of rushing and checklists,  I am able to enjoy ambling down the road and enjoying my sips of coffee.  Maybe we all should give it a try.


A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.
