what happens in vegas

Good Friday morning. Could not be happier that this week is over. I have my son's car all weekend. He went to Vegas with some buddies he went to high school with. My daughter goes to the doctor's this morning. She thinks she should be able to hear the heartbeat with the doppler today. I am excited for her. I have a big church thing I am helping with tomorrow morning. After that I have no clue. I want the boys to spend the night, but we'll see what Saturday brings. Then of course there is church Sunday morning. I am still feeling kind of like crap. Very worn out. I walked my 3 miles this morning but it was work. I made myself get out the door. The scale said 183 this morning. I think yesterday morning was a fluke. I did make me feel good to see a 7 after that ONE.

Here are some more pics from the party. The 1st one is of my son and his new GF. Her name is Mary and she was the one who threw the party. I guess they are in a relationship.....at least that's what his FB page says....lol. We like her and she seems to adore him.



Next is my Livi Girl. She would not look at the camera. She loves looking at herself, but hates to take the pic. weird, I know.
Staying the the eating theme is my Little Tater Tot. She LOVES to eat. Sometimes she gets so excited when her food arrives she starts shaking....lol. She is is the right family!


Here is my buddy Carson. His hair was all spikey cause his "girlfriend" was going to be at the party.
And last but not least is my daughter, one of my best friend's Renee and her daughter Haley. Haley is Carson's GF. At least he think she is. That's why he had to have the hair do.

I hope everyone has a fun weekend ahead of you.

Keep the mood and the food real.................Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

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
