My First Blog!

Ok, so this image really has nothing to do with my post, but I just thought it was sooooooo cute!

Anyways, I decided tonight, while I was reading my cousin's blog, that it's about time I started one. Although I am not much of a writer, unlike Circe who's brilliant, I am going to give it a shot. If everyone starts falling asleep or getting bored at any moment, please feel free to let me know. I will immediately STOP blogging! So, here it goes...........

I guess that today has been kind of a strange day. First, I got a call from my step -sister, whom I haven't talked to in about 10 yrs! Then, I get a phone call in the afternoon from my best friend in JR. High, whom I haven't spoken to in about 10 yrs.! I am not sure but I guess that certain people come into your life when you need them.

For those of you who don't know, I was recently diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. YUCK!!! "I know, it's the kind of Cancer that you wanna get if you're going to get Cancer", but come on! Who wants to get Cancer! (So I think that the Dr.'s need to come up with another line!) I had my first surgery back in June to remove the right side of my Thyroid, with the tumor. Then in July, I had the left side removed, which also had Cancer. Now they have me on meds and I am waiting for my lovely "radioactive iodine" cocktail! I am really looking forward to that! (NOT!)

So, to make a long story short, I was stressing out and a little depressed and I thought it'd be a good idea to take a mini vacation to Miami(where I lived for 7 yrs). Turns out that it wasn't such a great one! Two days into our vacation we get hit with Tropical Storm Fay! Talk about adding to the stress, but it was ok. While I have been here, I have gotten together with my friends, relaxed at the spa, and gone shopping!!! Which, by the way, helps me to destress more than anything and at the same time stresses Roland out immensely!LOL!

At the end of my "mini" vacation, I guess I will go back to good old Utah a little more refreshed and appreciative of the boring weather there, but also happy that some old friends/family have reappeared into my life! Thank heaven for friends and FAMILY! I love you all.............
