it’s hard for me to blog wen i’m home from the hospital, have chemo brain and family staying with us to help. so, this morning i snapped a bunch of garden pics for my twitter feed. check those out here and follow me on twitter, subscribe to or watch my twitter feed, “tweet, tweet” on the sidebar when you’re waiting for me to blog.
i know, i know, i have been seriously blog-negligent. if you’re really getting desperate during one of my unforseen hiatuses, just check my twitter feed on the left sidebar under “tweet, tweet.” that should entertain you.
so, after nugget’s tantie left, her aunt katie and uncle “hibbip” (phillip) came for a visit. nuggetdaddy and i made it up for jenny’s show in alexandria. then my mom from florida came for her turn at casa de bits. nuggetdaddy and i both celebrated birthdays.
now, i’m back in the hospital enjoying a week of chemo, hopefully my last before my transplant. my pet scan was good. the report says “virtually no (cancer cell) activity,” that the site of involvement is “1/2 to 1/3 the size” from the previous scan and there is “comparably less (lymph) nodal involvement.”
i’ve just had 10mg of ambien, so i should be checking out soon. i’ll try to blog again in the morning. peace!
i need a new blog project! in my head it seemed original, but come to find out it isn’t. no, not one bit.
on facebook you can find a bunch of bloggers telling su2c what they stand for. shown here is brad from cancer is boring. (brad, i very much agree.)
nevertheless, i’d like you to send me your pictures – here’s the twist – of you in your standup2cancer t-shirts telling me for what, whom or why you’re standing up. i’ll add your photos to the help me make a stand page, much like the locks of love page, and pimp your blog, store, cd release… you name it.
so, go on, get busy! go to the su2c shop at cafepress and order your shirt. then send me your photos of you in said shirt with your sign and whatever info you’d like published alongside your photo.
and remember, cafepress fulfills su2c orders at a 25% discount, enabling su2c to direct the discounted monies towards cancer research!
today is the day i start my journey on the road to battle, my second battle, against hodgkin’s lymphoma. i’m asking you, my friends, my family, my neighbors, my husband’s co-workers, my best friend’s school, my stylist’s salon, my doctors and nurses, my blogosphere cohorts, my readers, to join me. walk alongside me, hold my hand and help my family as we once again stand up to cancer.
in my previous post, i mentioned the su2c.org team i started. have you joined yet? have you donated? did you help spread the word?
i’m asking for your blog posts, your tweets, your plurks, your stumbles and diggs. email everyone you know. i need you to. you. i need your help.
i personally adore fondant, but my sister’s more of a buttercream gal. check out fight the fondant, her super terrific new blog for brides-to-be looking for stylish and unique options in san diego.
today, the motherwear breastfeeding blog is running a compilation piece of mine. i’m so honored and excited! if you haven’t subscribed to that blog yet, i highly recommend it.
and since we’re already talking about me, here’s what some other people have had to say about me recently:
going for the gold – world breastfeeding week 2008
pure love
you’re going to cry
what love looks like
non-lucid drivel, aka images by jeri, has lured me in to her web of plurks. the plurkiverse, so vast and wide, is ridiculously entertaining.
here, you can see snapshots of my existance. there, you can plug in to a real time feed of my daily comings and goings, like a freaky little bits of myself junkie.
aren’t you just dying to know what i might be doing at 8:49 am, 2:43 pm and, say, 7:38 pm? what i’m having for dinner? what i think of the current primetime network hdtv offerings? what package just got delivered? think of the excitement!
if plurk and wordpress were better friends, then i’d have a nifty little widget like the on you see here, somewhere in my sidebar. but they aren’t. and wordpress isn’t trying to make any new friends. so you’ll just have to settle for the ugly rss feed of my plurks.
so now i invite you, gentle reader, to plurk along with me. see just what the plurk i’m plurking about at: http://www.plurk.com/user/bitsofmyself.
i’m a slave for you. no, really. i think about you day and night. bloggity this, bloggity that, blog, blog, blog. i know i’ve been a little distant the past week, but i think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with what excitement i have for you tonight!
as i mentioned on friday, jenny came for a visit. she also shaved my head. surprise!
there’s a video, too, but we’ll have to wait for jen to send it to me. it is sure to delight one and all!
i’ve been out and about sans hair and all went well. well, i mean, jeez, how else did you think it would go? no small children ran in fear, the elderly have taken a keen interest in me and the teens are holding strong, remaining totally self-absorbed and obnoxious as ever.
nugget’s tantie is here until tuesday and then her grandmamie will be back. i have chemo dose #4 this thursday. i can’t believe it’s almost time for that again! the first week in august i’ll be getting pet and ct scans to see just how much cancer ass the chemo’s kicked already.
my little cabbages, i know you must think i’ve forgotten about you. mais, non! i think about you day and night. it’s just that sometimes those pesky chores of life, you know, building a house two and half hours away, raising a toddler, having cancer, having a sister and not one, but two dear friends in town, are using up all my minutes and i haven’t got any rollover. but fear not, we’re working on something amazing at chez bits as i type.
jenny is on her way over for paninis with nugget, tantie and me. then there are major plans in the works. m-a-j-o-r. you will not be disappointed!
we’re just going to have to take things slow. i mean, i like you, i really do, i just need some time to myself today. but tonight, i promise, we’ll have some special time together. just you and me and some spectacular video footage. i know, i know, i can hardly wait myself!
whatchoo talkin' 'bout?
