Cancer sucks

So the word "sucks" isn't so articulate but that is how I'm feeling right now. I'm angry at cancer - breast cancer, brain tumors and peritoneum cancer in particular. Haven't heard of that last one? Well, it sucks too and it requires the same treatment that makes you lose your hair, makes you sick, keeps you from hugging and holding your loved ones just because flu season started early this year. I'm feeling a little down because too many people that I know and love are dealing with seriously life altering events because of this dreaded disease right now. These thriving, lovely people still have many, many years of living left to do, so if you can't find a cure for cancer immediately, please at least add them to your prayer list, if praying is something you do....

Up, up and away

I know that there are much more important things to worry about in the world, but I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t glued to my computer yesterday when the “balloon boy” was allegedly flying through the air. Maybe it’s the new mom in me, but I was pretty nervous for the kid. That thing was going really fast, really high in the air. Well, we all know how it ended. The little punk was in a cardboard box hiding in the attic the whole time. And then he got sick on national television this morning. Twice. I watch the Today show every morning because Meredith and Matt somehow make my early mornings a bit easier. I don’t watch it to see a little kid barf in a Tuperware container as his famewhoring dad tries to talk his way out of a corner. I’m officially over the balloon boy. Ick.

Back on the saddle

Wow. I really dropped the ball on this blogging thing. I've been reading a few really stellar blogs lately and they have inspired me to open up shop again. I got too busy with life and growing the little seed that is now named Calvin. There is so much to tell. I guess I didn't feel like I had much to say over the last 10 months but there was a lot going on. My life was consumed with baby-growing and, man, that made me tired. I would like to introduce you to my new little time suck.....
I'll be better with this blogging gig. I promise.
