Happy 3rd birthday!

Jonah's 3rd birthday

Reminds me of home

Every once in a while we get a sunset here in Massachusetts that reminds me of my desert home.

Funniest thing I've seen in a long time...

This video on YouTube was sent to me from a friend today. Man, does it hit home!

The Difference A Year Makes

One year ago today was my surgery. That was the beginning of a very long and difficult year. It's hard to believe how much my life has changed since then and how different I feel.

I think I'll be reflecting a lot today...

Happy Dance!

It's gone, it's gone, it's gone!

A 1 year post-op MRI revealed absolutely no enhancing areas. That means there's nothing left. Nada.

:-)

My surgeons are gods in my book.

Let's Try Again

Last summer, I lamented getting my hair cut before my AN surgery. I was trying to grow it out for Locks of Love, as inspired by my sister. It's now time to try again.

I have a haircut appt on Tuesday next week. After that, my hair will be all even again from where it was shaved last September. And it will be time to reset the clock and grow out the locks again. I'm determined to do it this time!

One for the Birds

My online AN cohort Bruce recently put up a webcam trained on a mama cardinal that set up a nest right outside her window. This morning, the eggs hatched! In about 10 days, the chicks should be able to leave the nest.

Take a look for yourself! Be patient - the link in popular enough that bandwidth is sometimes a problem. If you don't see it right away, try again in a few minutes.

See the mama!

Thanks, Bruce!
