Ana Bannana, you must of been one proud mama

As for all the shoe loving women, I'm glad I'm not the only one in love

On a happier note - it was one week ago today that I had the honor of presenting my son with his high school diploma. What a moment!! He hugged me so long I thought (and hoped) he would never let go. It was soooo special.

Then he sang (solo) the class song in front of a packed house. The song was Green Day's Good Riddance. He received a standing ovation - as he did a great job. Another proud mom moment. :grin

Ana, that's wonderful, you must be so very proud. Getting a standing ovation for his song?! He must be so good.

[J.D.]

Ana, that is great. What an amazing kid you have! You should be the proudest of the proud right now.

Oh yes... they're pink Mary Jane Manolo's

Mary Jane Manolo's! They are gorgeous... no wonder they make you feel like a million bucks, they probably cost a million bucks.

Ana I'm so happy for you and your son, I knew that would be a really special moment for you. I love the long hug, you know it was really special for him too.

I'm back from the cancer specialist and I'm not going to die. That's the good news. Also I'm having a lumpectomy and not a mastectomy, so - yea! The bad news it that I'm looking at chemo and radiation, so there goes my one redeeming feature - my long, wavy, auburn hair. I'll be looking for fun wigs. I already have a purple one and a blue Marge Simpson one. It will be a long summer, but at least I won't miss any work. I love to read, so if you have a favorite escape novel, I'm all ears. (won't that be the truth soon?) I'm actually feeling optimistic. You all have been wonderful here. I mean that.

Oh Gut, that is great news. I'm so happy for you and your children. Be sure to stock up on the popsicles. I heard that they help you through the chemo. I will continue praying for you, your health, and your children

[Gutmutter]

Now, see. That's what I'm talking about. Popsicles? I was trying to imagine what I might feel like eating and that wasn't obvious. I sure hope I at least lose some weight out of this. Then I promise to eat right and exercise!

[DesertRose]

I'm so happy for you Gutmutter!

On a superficial note, if you really love your hair, you can shave it off before getting the chemo and turn it into a wig. My hairdresser once told me it was doable. Scarves tied around your head à la Paris and Nicole are also very hot.

[Gutmutter]

Hmmmm. Tell me more. Can anyone do this? Is it a special service? You would think someone as old and weathered as I, wouldn't be so vain.

I'm so glad you got good news Gutmutter.

This calls for a toast:



Congrats to you!!!

I know you have a long summer ahead, but we will all be here for ya.
