Beautiful day, short week

I had written my last post and edited a lot. I debated on posting because it is kind of dark and sounds unappreciative of people caring. I don't want to come across like that at all. I really don't mind people asking me how I'm doing because I'm reporting great news! I'm doing really well with little to no aches and pains. The only time I think about having cancer is when I'm at chemo or if they discuss it on tv for emotional/drama effect. It never fails that all my favorite tv shows, Parenthood in particular, that they discuss breast cancer. I fall apart every episode in tears. If you watch this show you know exactly what I'm talking about. This past Sunday I skipped church to meet with a lady who had breast cancer and is a Survivor! She is now dealing with  the nasty side effects of being on chemo and steroids. Did I mention I never had met her before Saturday? All our interaction had been through Facebook but my former supervisor personally knew her and encouraged us to chat. Well on Saturday over lunch it was like catching up with an old friend and we shared a mutual hatred for our previous oncologist, haha. I hate that breast cancer brings us together but so thankful to have her support. She also loves Parenthood too. I'm happy to report my hair is growing like crazy in one big pouf! I posted on Facebook a picture of MTV's hotties Beavis and Butthead because that's how I feel about my hair. In the same day of my post I ran across someone's post that says "The thing you take for granted someone's praying for." Isn't that so true?! Not too long ago was I missing my hair now I'm saying it's pouffy! Also this past weekend my sorority sister and her husband were a featured couple in the Race to Parenthood, a 5K fundraiser to raise awareness of infertility. How often do I mention how crazy it is to juggle 3 active girls schedules in my own household. I just love this quote and it definetly makes you stop and think. On another note we got a dog! He's a mix of everything but the cutest ever! He is such a good dog and the girls couldn't be more thrilled. He is traveling to VA with us to visit my parents and that will be the true test on whether they like him or not. I'm at chemo right now and then the plan is to leave for Virginia afterwards. Very ready to have a long weekend visiting my home away from home and to sleep in. :) I also have a Facebook $5 jewelry party tomorrow! Becoming a Paparazzi Consultant my life has been hopping and I love the business name my husband came up with Charmed for a Cure! If you haven't liked my page on F
