See Deena?! That's going to be you sooner than later!
I am so glad you posted this photo not just for Deena to keep going but also so I could see you up close. But I did appreciate the other photo you e'd.
Your eyes have the depth of the Grand Canyon now kiddo. And I've spent a lot of time looking into the Canyon so I do know. Wow, this is a special photo.
Thanks for looking us all in the eyes. xo Church

Deena: I had my last chemo in October 2006. So this is a year and a half. I've also cut off about an inch. And, good grief, yes, it's different than before. I will send you a private photo of how it came in :) But, you know what? I'm here, and I've come to love everything about my new life. PS: I've been missing you, too!

Church: You are such a cool person. This meant a lot to me. Thank you.

Jena: :)!

Hey Josiane, You crossed my consciousness the other day, as you do often, so it was surprising and sweet to see your name in my inbox. Hope you've been good.

This is my first visit to your lovely blog...I visited Deena's blog today and saw your post there, so thought I'd visit you also. Your hair is beautiful...nice and thick. How long have you been a BC survivor? Wishing you well in that regard! I'm a 7 year BC survivor and doing great!
Hugs, Karen

Sherry baby! How I've missed you :)

Hi Karen! 7 years as a BC survivor is cause to celebrate! When do you start counting? After surgery or after chemo/radiation? If it's after surgery, I'm coming up on 2 years. If it's after treatments, I'm at 1 year 4 months. Thanks so much for the comment :)

It's Not About the Bike

It's not about the bike...it's about the hair. But you already know that, as I go on endlessly (and some would say annoyingly) about it. In the event that you live farther than 75 miles of my house--and therefore cannot hear me every morning at 6:30a.m., sobbing and spewing profanities in front of the mirror as I wield a giant round brush, a 2000-horse power blow dryer, a pricy flat iron and four different hair potions in a harried rush to get my chemo curls (only kind of) under control before racing out the door to work--here’s a hair update: It absolutely defies the laws of gravity. Most people don’t believe me when I tell them my hair grew back in a fro. Ergo, the faux-finish fro foto. I’m not quite ready to debut the fro without the help of Apple’s Photo Booth effects. And Ocho was kind enough to join in the foto fun. I don’t have a good transition for this, as it has nothing to do with my hair, but I rode my mountain bike up Mount Montara with Ocho today. The bike trail is...

I Love Me (Day Three)

I’ve just completed Day Three of abstaining from self-derogatory comments. How’s it going for me? Let me just say that it’s the self-esteem equivalent of Everest without oxygen. (And I say that with a lot of self love, as usual.) The 31-day plan came about one night at the end of November while driving home from work. As usual, I called Sam. We kvetched about the usual stuff—including the guys in our lives—during which time I told Sam about a conversation I’d recently had with Ocho: [Scene: Ocho and I are walking my border collie, Marge, back from the beach.] Me: “I am one more day closer to being super cute.” Ocho: “?” Me: “With each new day, I am 24 hours closer to being skinnier and having longer hair.” Ocho: “Hm,” Me: “And then you’ll tell me I’m pretty again.” Ocho: [making eye contact] “I tell you you’re pretty all the time.” Me: “No you don’t.” Ocho: “Yes, I do. You’re just too fucking stupid to remember it (big smile).” “That’s a great line,” said Sam, quickly adding that I abs...

Roots: Part III

"The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you." ~Kendall Hailey, The Day I Became an Autodidact (Confession: I found this quote this morning on Quote Garden. I had to Google Kendall Hailey . And I had no idea what the word autodidact meant until I located it on dictionary.com.) I met Ocho on Match.com. Many of you probably have never had a Match date, so let me describe for you a few that I experienced: Tom smelled myseriously of Clorox bleach and wore a fanny pack. I might have been able to handle the fumes (hey, it's a turn-on that a guy can clean his house, right?), but the strain of imagining what was in the fanny pack (Handi-wipes? Anti-bacterial gel? Latex gloves?) was more than I could bear. Bob , who was as tall as a 4th grader, over the course of two hours and a plate of fettucine alfredo asked me 20 times if I was bothered by the fact that he was so short. Answ...
