I ordered season 1 of Miami Vice for Pete, from Amazon.com Pete and I LOVE the old 80's shows. Watching MV reminds me of how awful the 80's hair, clothing, and dance moves were! LOL! We've been watching the dvd's and laughing our heads off at the lame synthesizer music, and tacky fight moves! LOL!!! Pete was also able to get the 1st season of McGyver, from a garage sale! Next up? I am hoping to buy Pete, the 1st season of Magnum P.I. What are your your favorite 80's shows?

Pete and I have been able to spend some amazing time together as a couple, the last few days, as we prepare for this new chapter in our lives. My dear friend (K), prayed a prayer for us yesterday, asking God to use this time in our lives to bring us closer as a couple, and He sure has! We laugh together, cry together, pray together...We would not be able to be going through all these crazy emotions, without God. I'm really not too sure how folks who are non-believers, do it. Pete and I are leaning on God, daily, actually, most times it's hourly. We are both nervous and scared, as well as uncertain, but we know that God never gives us more than we can handle. Pete does not show his emotions very often, and there are only a handful of times, that I have witnessed him being sad or scared, which leads me to....www.cancerhasitsprivileges.blogspot.com

Notice anything wrong with this picture? Look at the tire, and what side of the curb it's on.....hmmmm...did someone accidentally drive OVER the abutment???

In true fashion, Kirsten (her friend), and I, had an "adventure" tonight. We were leaving IHOP and Kirsten pulled forward, not realizing that here was an abutment right in front of us. Her car became stuck. I was so proud of her. I would have burst into tears, with anxiety. She handled it like a pro. She put it in reverse and we tried to push the car while Kirsten laid on the gas. It wouldn't budge. So we called her hubby, and a few other strong men, but... This was our pot smoking, knight in shinning jeep, who rocked Kirsten's car free from the abutment! He was a total stranger, who drove by and saw our situation. He pulled into the IHOP parking lot and helped us. After a big hug from Kirsten, he drove off into the sunset!Can't wait for our next adventure, Kirsten! LOL!

In order to prepare for this

and this, next week, I did

This!

I've been sleeping on it, so it doesn't look that great, it looked better before the nap! LOL! I had my hairdresser cut off 6 inches! It's going to thin/fall out in September, so I figured I'd save myself the shock! LOL! Pete says it's cute! So, if you are not on Facebook and have not already heard, next week I start on Interferon. It's a chemotherapy drug with harsh flu like symptoms for the first month. I'm talking chills, fever, aching bones, nausea, chattering teeth. I was on this chemo for a month, once before, but this time I have morphine, ahhhhhh......magical morphine, to help with the side effects. I will be on both hydrea and morphine at the same time. My cancer doctor will be SLOWLY weaning me off the hydrea, and SLOWLY increasing the interferon. I WAS facing a once month hospital stay in September, so she could monitor myself and the side effects, but since Pete has agreed to learn how to do my injections, I can avoid the hospital stay! YAY! So feel free to keep us in your prayers :)

Today has NOT been a good day, well, I should say, the last FEW days have not been good in the pain and nausea department. Today took the cake. I was in Walmart and bought a few cleaning supplies. I was already feeling really nauseated, but as I left the self serve check out, I got a whiff of Mc Donalds, and well, let's just say I DIDN'T make it to the bathroom! The sad thing is, I wasn't embarrassed, and I didn't even care. Some employees came over to "help me", but I just got up, told them I was sorry for the mess, and walked towards the door. One of the greeters walked me to my car, to make sure I was ok, and asked if she should call someone to drive me home. I told her I was ok to drive and that I only live 5 minutes away. I actually had to go pick Pete up from work, so off I went to THW. Of course he noticed right away that something was wrong, cuz the poor guy greeted me with a kiss!!! I tried really hard to turn my head, but he got my mouth. I don't think I've EVER seen his face look so disgusted? before. I this nausea is REALLY bad, because neither Gravol OR my "special magic pills" are working on it. Oh well, another fun day with cancer...never a dull moment.

I LOVE Cindy! She makes me laugh, and is SUCH an awesome friend! Yesterday evening we both needed to get out of the house, so we decided to take some late dinner to Mill Lake for a picnic. While we were there, actually just before we were about to leave, Cindy wanted to have a smoke. Neither of us had a lighter on us, so Cindy decided to ask someone who was smoking, for a light. Well, I saw these guys "a mile away." How could you NOT "notice" them, but apparently, Cindy didn't "notice" them...LOL! As we were walking to the parking lot, there were these two young guys, dressed kinda gangster, and leaning on a white Navigator with blacked out windows. One guy, was smoking a joint, which you could ALSO smell "a mile away." So, before I know what's going on, Cindy approaches the pot smoker, and asks for a light! I was freaking out on the inside. So, he lends her his lighter, and off we go. As we are walking away, I start freaking out. Cindy's like "what"? I'm like , did you NOT see what he was smoking, what they were driving, what they were DOING? LOL! Obviously drug dealers or something. So, Cindy takes a closer look, and it FINALLY clicks in...LOL! Let's just say, we left Mill Lake pretty quickly! LOL! I love ya Cindy!!! LOL!
