Whatchu talkin bout Willis?!

so, in my search for people like me out there...30 somethings that have been diagnosed with kidney cancer, the pickin's are slim. many personal blogs are about random drama in people's lives that few other people in this world give a rat's a$$ about...this one will probably be no different. although the main subject will be my cancer, i'm sure i will go off on random tangents about anything from mixed emotions to who cut me off on the highway today. im not an english major...i wont capitalize or punctuate correctly, i will change tenses and i will speak like a g33k from time to time. basically i will be me...because i can hide behind my computer screen and its great!

ps...i will also jump around...my mind is all over the place all the time...

Christmas Overkill??

Many of you have requested to see the Griswald-isk set up across the street. well, attached are a couple pictures. i couldn't fit all of the lights in one frame for he full effect....need a panoramic setting and i don't have that on my camera. Plus, it was all i could to do bring myself to stand out there and play with the settings to get what i was able to get. for some reason the same settings i used to take pictures of my house didn't work with theirs.

anyway, notice how tall the snowman is compared to the car in the driveway. and oh yeah, the deer are the kind that move their heads.

The Snowman

Santa and Rudolph go round and round

Deer on the lookout!
on a side note, i can't even keep my lights lit...the top strand, yes the top one, not the bottom or the middle, but the very top strand of lights on my tree went out this morning. that's gonna be fun to try and find which evil bulb is at fault for that little dose of christmas joy. i love the holidays!

merry christmas and happy holidays team beansaver! time to get ready for my check up appt.

Maybe the settings didn't work because it was too bright? :-)

After reading your blog i am reminded of something i read. I am paraphrasing of course. Imagine a sculptor and his chunk of marble or a painter and his canvas or a song writer and his pad and pen. "David" was already there inside the marble, Michael Angelo Just had to bring him out. Mona Lisa was already on the canvas when Leonardo Da Vinci placed his brush into the paint, he just had to find the strokes with his brush. When Jimmy Buffett wrote Margaritaville the lyrics and the music were already there. He just wrote them down. What i'm saying is your health and true happiness are already there. Let Dr. Doom focus on the cancer. You focus on positive thinking, focus on your body healing itself, focus on what truly makes you happy. I know i dont need to tell you this because you seem like a very strong and determined women but NEVER GIVE UP...NEVER GIVE UP...NEVER GIVE UP. Your health and true happiness is out there. You MUST BELIEVE that you HAVE TO BELIEVE that.
