Didn’t have a chance to write this post last week, but wanted to document the positives of being in New Orleans for this year’s Super Bowl. Super Bowl Sunday was a beautiful, warm, sunny day (which was definitely highlighted on tv!) and Terry and I biked down to the River–with me clicking photos most of […]
Friday, February 8- Had my second biopsy in two weeks today, the third, well actually the fourth, biopsy in fourteen months. The first biopsy was actually an attempt. That one was going to be an ultrasound guided biopsy in the surgeon’s office, but after getting me all prepped and laying there on the table, ready […]
Usually Mardi Gras consists of the weekend of Krewe du Vieux/Krewe Delusion and then two larger, consecutive weekends of Mardi Gras festivities ultimately leading up to Fat Tuesday/Ash Wednesday. Visitors usually come into town the last weekend which leads up to Mardi Gras day itself; however, there is usually plenty going on the weekend before. […]
It’s here! The 2013 Mardi Gras/Super Bowl/Mardi Gras spectacular in New Orleans has arrived!!!

Ok, actually being diagnosed with cancer is pretty tough; however, waiting has got to be the hardest part once you are an actual member of the cancer community. Waiting in doctors offices. Waiting for test results to come in. Waiting to get in for an appointment. Waiting for surgeries to heal. Waiting for the shoe […]
I wanted to post on my birthday last Sunday, but I was too busy enjoying the day and weekend to actually write anything. But now that my birthday week is coming to a close, why not? This being my 45th feels important. I’m here. I’ve lived 45 years. I’ve come a long way from this […]
I feel that the past month has been in overdrive and that I have had no time to write about my experiences and thoughts on life, love and the pursuit of happiness. These next few posts are going to be my attempt at catch up. One of my Chicago Facebook friends posted a couple of […]
