real quick

I had a great day! Had the day off, woke up early and walked 3 miles. then I came home and cleaned around the house and then got sucked into TV. Did anyone else watch Oprah today, or yesterday for that matter ( I didn't watch yesterday ). I was shocked! Those of you that watched will know what I am talking about. I heard the word masterbation more in the few minutes it took me to find the remote, then I've heard at one time in my life!

The show was really a good thing, cause it forced me to get out the house this afternoon. So I went and washed my car, cleaned it inside. Then I went and got a diet soda and then went to Barnes & Noble and read magazines, and just looked around. Then I had my hair appoinment, and my hair looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. The girl at the salon even asked me if I was thinner! How sweet...I did of course double her tip...lol.

Tonight I am going to sit with my sweet Nadine. My old lady friend, that I love to death! Her daughter is going out with family and she needs a friend to sit with her for a couple of hours. I always come away from sitting with her with feelings of gratitude for my own life, and just amazed at her faith in her Heavenly Father and the plan of salvation. I love her!!

I haven't been drinking too much water today. I will do better tomorrow!
Better tomorrow then today, I can live with that!

    I love Oprah, but I agree that the comments made on that show was too much! At least you did walked 3 miles, cleaned house and ran errands...that's a lot of calories burned!

    What a productive day you had - glad you are enjoying life, despite odd-sounding Oprah show (we don't get it over here lately)!

    I know (oprah) and yet I spend a lot of time with tweens in the schools and am SHOCKED daily by how my friends (with tween daughters) are seemingly working NOT to know whats going on.

    What Dr Berman suggested for the girls though? I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

    (but almost giggled as oprah squirmed as well :))

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I miss them terribly, but at the same time I feel like this

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don

Dana Does Cancer

Good Morning! It's been a long time since I used this blog. I've decided that I had so much success using this blog as a tool to lose 100 pounds, I'm going to blog my way as I fight cancer To The Best of My Ability. Yep, it looks like I have rectal cancer. There is a 20 mm tumor in the old poop shoot. Just shows Heavenly Father has a sense of humor. Seems a fitting consequence for being an asshole for the first half of my life. (my two children will verify this) The good news it's not gone to the lymph nodes per the CT scan, I will get the results of a PET scan, along with a port for chemo Monday or Tuesday. And so it begins... I have every reason to be optimistic. It's still early. I'm still  going to need radiation and chemo to shrink the tumor and wait 5-6 weeks and have a resection, then more chemo is needed. I am grateful for health insurance, though I can't work for at least six months, maybe more. When I went to the surgeon on Friday he told me I
