One of my guilty pleasures is Coldplay. And this video and song just thrills me. They are so good at the big emotional build. Love it! Check it out… http://vimeo.com/25816270

Hi friends.  It’s been a while since I’ve posted so I figured I should do a quick update.  I’m definitely getting more tired than ever before. The cumulative affects of chemo have started to catch up with me.  When I’m able to stay home I’m napping one or two times a day – which totally … Continue reading »

Had my 3rd chemo treatment today. Feeling real tired from the ‘amend’ which is one of the anti-nausea meds but no nausea yet. In fact I just polished off a bowl of americone dream ice cream. Delish! I have no doubt the nausea will kick in by morning, but I’m going in for fluids and … Continue reading »

…my poor little guy gets sick.  Desmond had a rough weekend that has unfortunately extended to today.  He’s had some epic diarrhea and was up from 12am – 2am last night.  Needless to say Brian and I are a little exhausted.  I’m supposed to be real careful about getting exposed to germs, but it’s pretty much … Continue reading »

hi friends and family!  After a rough week I’m starting to climb back out of the worst of it.  I was able to work Thursday and Friday…which was a lot of fun due to a video shoot I was helping with both days.  Have I mentioned how much I love my new job?  I’ve been … Continue reading »

My besties Kim, Colleen and Erin came by this morning with champagne, wigs, hats, clippers and laughter and we set to … Continue reading »

We are HALF WAY through the real tough chemo drugs (the red devil as one is called) – 2 out of the 4 done.  My treatment today was fine.  Colleen came up for lunch to keep me company, which was lovely, and I listened to some music while working.  I joked to the nurses that … Continue reading »

I returned to work this week. It has been SO great to be back with my team and back in the mix of life at Starbucks. As a welcome back, most of my department wore pink in my honor yesterday. To say I was touched would be a big understatement. I also had a lovely … Continue reading »

Happy 4th friends and family!!  Tomorrow’s a big day…I’m heading back to the office.  I’m really excited to see all my work friends, get caught up with everyone and dive into something beyond the big C.  Hopefully my energy level will become more predictable and I can plan around tough days. The past few days … Continue reading »
