Time to have some fun...

Happy Jewish New Year to all of my Jewish friends! (Karen, that pretty much means you : )

I work at a Jewish hospital so tomorrow being the New Year means for me a lighter Thursday, which is actually my Friday because RK and I will hit the road to OKC for a little Lily Time this weekend.

Oh, and tonight we are going to a Flaming Lips concert with some friends...a show I have been really looking forward to. It's going to be a late night, but I am putting my big-girl panties on and plan on savoring every moment and then pressing the snooze button as many times as I possibly can in the morning.

The Great State Fair of Oklahoma also starts this week and you know that is on our agenda for the weekend as well. Oh yeah...corn dogs, funnel cake and a plethora of fried anything...but specifically for me, Dan's Fried Tacos...yummy.

I only hope it is as gorgeous in OK this weekend as it has been here. Words can't describe it. Perfect might come close.

Okay Mom, get the guest room ready...we are on our way. See you Okies soon.

I wish we had time for Bricktown. You could see the "Flaming Lips" street sign. They are Okies as I'm sure you know. We now have one of those Fondue Restaurants and we are getting a dueling piano bar. We went to one in Dallas with the Wongs a couple of years ago. Robin and I danced like fools and Mike and your dad just stood there. They played lots of oldies (70's hits) which is definately my thing and Robin squeaks right in there. We'll take what time we can get with you. I'm giving up a water aerobics kick boxing class to just sit and talk and have coffee with you on Saturday morning! This is quite the sacrifice you know since I plan to be in a size 8 by December 15th! But one I am really looking forward to! Drive Carefully! Love you, Mom

I forgot! You just missed Oktoberfest in Choctaw. It was last weekend and we went with the Wongs. Your Dad and I did the chicken dance and hokie pokey twice and Robin and your Dad danced too. Mike watched our purses. The food was great! I think we are going to go to the one here in Moore in October. Your dad danced with a little girl (about 4). She looked so much like a 4 year old Catie Jo...Mom

Settling in...

Next month marks our 8th Moved to Kansas City Anniversary. Eight years and I am just now feeling like we are settling in. Life is moving along at a steady clip. I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook, but thank goodness it exists or I would never know anything about anybody. Having a small child seems to suck you into this introverted world where all you (feel) like you do is pick up toys, read Little Golden Books and sing The Wheels On the Bus. But, of course, this is only partially true. As disconnected as I feel to the world outside of my home and the Cancer Center, I am that much more connected to my beautiful son. I am learning to accept that "balance" is a myth. Lately, I've spent a lot of time challenging my notion of health and wellness. Robbie and I joined a gym and I am actually committing time to go. In fact, I even made the large investment to work with a personal trainer. I am trying so incredibly hard to hang up my discomfort and unease about my bod...

I knew I was forgetting something...

Writing and keeping a journal has always been cathartic for me and I think often, "I should jot that down." The many " thats " that have gone by since last July are almost too numerous to count, and frankly, I've sadly forgotten most of them. I love to write and this blog is testament to that. Unfortunately, my time and energy is limited these days and given my OCD nature, I can't just write a simple little update without revision and editing. I've always wanted to be sure I am saying what I mean and mean what I say...and if I can do it eloquently with a little additional thought, well even better. And that's where I struggle these days. It seems my brain power is more focused on the miles of pages that need to be read for class, remembering to pick my child up from daycare and staying on top of a job that, at times, consumes more of my life than I'd rather admit. Needless to say, I'm busy and taking time to sit, think, ponder and write (gra...

Gaining wait...

The heaviness of a few extra pounds compares little to the heaviness of grief. I'm feeling quite heavy these days and am impatiently waiting for a lighter spirit. The Daily Cancer Grind makes me weary and a little over a week ago Robbie's cousin lost her precious 4 month old daughter, Kate. Attending the funeral did little to ease the grief, but spending time with Kate's twin sister, her mommy, daddy and other caring relatives helped (a little) in redirecting the anger I was feeling. Am feeling. The grief in that home was palpable. It breathed, rattled the walls. We are losing patients, naturally...the holidays are approaching. I saw it in the funeral industry and the hospice industry and now the cancer care industry. People decline this time of the year. Not that the holidays are depressing enough. It's different this time though. I'm losing friends. Some of these women I see more than my best gal pals. I'm watching their decline and wishing on anything, everyt...
