Mani/Pedi's and the ZOO!

Well Hadley had her first manicure and pedicure and she LOVED it!  It was so cute to watch her stick her feet in the water to soak, even if she had to scoot to the end of her chair to do it!!  It will be fun to get to do that with her from time to time and to get my feet and nails pampered.  My feet would look like Fred Flinstone if I didn't maintain them....blah!

Hadley's cousins and grandma and Aunt Lisa went with us too!



What a great girl day at the spa!!

This past weekend we went to the zoo with our friends Carey, Jason and Kyley Kubik from KS.  The kids had a ball!!  But we only had one day to see everything and that zoo is huge!!  Hadley and I and Palmer got to see the African Safari from the sky lift..Palmer had to ride by himself of course....I was sweaty Betty up there worried that Hadley might fall but she didn't seem to be scared at all and really enjoyed herself.  She shouted at all the people coming by us on the other side of the sky lift..."Those rhinos are stinky and they have stinky big poop." Which they did, I wasn't letting her lie at least?????

We went to eat at Joe's Crab Shack afterwards and Kyley and Hadley danced to every line dance song they had....what a couple of shake your arms and butt girls we have!  It was ADORABLE to say the least! They also went swimming the next day.  I didn't get any pics of that as I didn't want to get my phone wet.  Maybe Carey will send me some...**hint** **hint**

WE loved it and miss them already

Another Post Cancer Check up....nailed it!!!

Yesterday I had my blood work and appointment at the Cancer Center for my 3 month check up (I missed my last 3 month because I thought i was every six months and no one called to set up an appointment.....something my cancer doc was not very happy about.  But I did check out great.  Dr. Yoda said my blood counts were perfect....yes I said perfect.  Can't feel any better about that!!  He also said I looked like a model with my hair all grown out and not looking severely bloated and overweight from the steroids.  I am sure anything was an improvement for me but when he said I looked like a model and that I should be modeling.....WELL, I just couldn't help but blush and want him to go on and on about it!!  Now I know he probably says that to many paitents to boost their self esteem, but I like to pretend that he ONLY said it to me!

May snow....may rain...may be sunny.....IT IS MAY.

I can hardly believe the snow.....in May. 

In 1994 (now I sound like my DAD!).....In 1994 I got snowed in at Albert Lea, MN on May 7th.  That sucked.  I was traveling for the company I worked for and had a dress on in the snowy crap.  Had to go to walmart and get some sweatpants, socks and tennis shoes.  Then spent the night in a hotel room by myself.  Probably cost me more than I made that day.  (yes, I made very little back then but I was still a rock star, just a poor one.) 


I have my 6 month check up on Monday May 6th.  I hope they give me a clean bill of health.  I am not going to lie...I WILL ALWAYS freak out a little about these checks ups and hold my breath until they say all is well.  Who wouldn't with breast cancer history.  But I feel good and believe in my health so far.  My counts will be good!!
