The Latest News

On Saturday, I sat on the floor in a circle with a handful of little girls. All of which, were reciting to uphold the Girl Scout promise.  Each girl was enthusiastic and unique.  I couldn't help but sit there and wonder what the world holds for each of them.  I am eager for our next meeting.  I imagine I'll learn many lessons from these girls.  I can only hope that both Julie and I make some kind of difference in their lives too.

I saw the "new boy" again Saturday night. His name is Brian. He's a sucker for romantic flicks.  Ya got to love that.  He compliments me frequently.  I love that too. He has a dog named Chappy that seems to be fond of me also. So far so good. I can't complain.  :) He is leaving for Alabama tomorrow. So, I may see him again tonight.

My tummy has been great.  Except for last night.  I'm not exactly sure what the issue was. Mom thinks maybe it was Dad's corn soup.  Apparently, corn doesn't digest so easily and my tummy knew that!!!  I took my medicine as soon as I felt sick...and well the only down side to that is that it takes me an entire day to recover from the effects of it. Small price to pay so I'm not tossing my cookies all night!!

I'll be making an appointment with my oncologist this week. I need to have a blood draw and PET scan before he turns me over to another doctor. I'm not very excited about it....and really wish he would keep me as a patient. Yes, I'm pouting about it!

I may actually have a new "client" to see soon. (Y'all forgot I actually have a part time job, didn't you??) YEAH!! He lives in Seneca, which isn't too far from here.  Coincidentally, his daughter is breaking ground in Fair Play some time this week.  That's where Mom and Dad are building too.

The weather has been cold here...and we had our first ice storm.  It shut most of the schools down and many other places as well.  It made me laugh.  It was really nothing compared to what Maryland gets.  Of course, my new friend reminded that South Carolina isn't equipped for snow or ice storms the way Maryland is.  I understand that completely. It's still comical watching everyone panic about it!

I'm going to make some hot tea now.  I'm freezing!!!!!!!

I love y'all!

I'm with you on the panic thing! Today I saw a guy sprinkling salt on the parking lot at St. Francis as if they were expecting a major storm. It didn't even get to freezing temps! I might add as well that this proud Yankee was wearing a lightweight sweater and he had on a parka and a hat!

I have no doubt that you will make a difference in those young girls lives.
