It's Alive!

Blowing the dust off this thing.  I need to keep writing.

So here's a recap.

Still married. 

Kid is still in Texas.

DSister#2 was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma around March/April of last year.  Went 1 round of chemo then radiation.  Knocked it on its butt.  Currently in a holding pattern.  Blood work is looking good.  One tiny spot of "activity".  Awaiting next scan to see if she is done "cooking" yet.  Crossing fingers that she is officially in remission. 

Thing I didn't know:  cancer can be gone, but there still be a tumor.  Which she has.  Which sucks because its in a tricky place.

Still have 3 dogs.

My sisters and I are participating in two fundraising walks to fund research for blood cancers this fall.  If you have extra change in your couch that you want to give to a great cause, drop me a line. 

Those are the basics.

More to come, because I just had a really neat weekend. 

Long time, no see

Ok, four months between posts is not my idea of a good blog. Sorry, out there.

Truth is, not much exciting is happening. Work, eat, gave the dogs a haircut ... did you really want updates on those?

Not For Those WIth Sensitive Stomachs...

I just had to issue a disclaimer.

DH and I have been together for eleven years now! Wow!

Travis was turned 3 right after our first date. Now Travis is wanting to buy an old pickup truck to fix up for when he starts driving.

Argh! I'm not ready!

But DH is still the best and I'm keeping him!

Welcome to Indiana

Argh - I am really done with this cold weather already. Christmas is over. Be gone.

So I am sitting at home with the dogs and my sister, waiting for DH to come home.

And I know it is so wrong, but I really want a pizza. Delivered.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong...

My day off

Ok, that was a longer break than I planned on.

Christmas was pretty good, considering I had anticipated missing most of it. When you work retail, you tend to miss most of the festivities.

Today, it is bitterly cold out. I know I do not have it nearly as bad as some, but blah just the same. My sister and current new roommate told me our hometown got 16 inches of snow. Ugh. I'm too old for that stuff.

And don't worry. DH is still around. He's just generously agreed to let sister #1 stay with us a while until she finds a job.

You can't let family go homeless, you know.

The dogs are keeping me hopping. It's cold out, so no one wants to stay outside long enough to do all their business at once. *sigh* They do make great lap warmers on cold nights though. I'm just glad they are little. If I had those Irish Wolfhounds I've always wanted, the couch would have collapsed.

All for now. Happy New Year, everyone!

Oh ye of little faith ...

See? I posted twice this month. Sadly, I'm too pooped to come up with anything brilliant,so you may have to amuse yourselves.

It's candle selling season, folks!

No, I really do live.

Ok, sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. No internet for nearly a year will do that.

I now have internet at home, instead of just on my phone. Much better.

I'll try to do better about posting now.
