"Nobody puts baby in the corner!" RIP Patrick Swayze. Dirty Dancing will always be one of my very favorite movies! It's so sad that he is gone!

Mad Men


I'm verry happy and excited to be hearing the theme music to "Mad Men" and to Season 3!

Year thus far in review


January - diagnosed with thyroid cancer

February - thyroid removed along with 15 cancerous lympth nodes

March - took radioactive iodine to kill off any remaining cancer cells

April - cancer free, on new meds to replace the thyroid hormone, starting to exercise, gaining energy back

May - slipped and fell on the 3rd at a friend's house in some wet grass.  My knee twisted and landed on the edge of the drive way.  A week later had 6 hrs of surgery to put in a metal plate and 5 giant screws.

May / June - off work, can't walk, then tried to go back to work too early.  Cut back on hours.  Went to work in a wheel-chair and crutches.  Limited to office work.

July - started working full days.  Still keeping all weight off of my left leg.  Hating the wheelchair.  Finally on July 22nd, got the ok to begin walking again. 

August - tomorrow is August 1st and I've been walking for a week and a half with the aid of one crutch.  I can walk without it but have a major limp.  I'm just glad to be walking again!

mmmmm, nice!


One of the many good things in life: washing your favorite slippers and then pulling them out of the dryer, nice and toasty warm and putting them directly on your feet on a cold, rainy, dreary day!

Mary Poppins!


I'm watching Mary Poppins on TV!  I love all things Julie Andrews!  I just saw one of my favorite lines in which after the earth quake and the piano slides across the room and lands right in front of George Banks (the father of the children who works at the bank). He plunks a few notes and they are horribly out of tune. And here is the exchange that I love:

George Banks: I suggest you have this piano repaired. When I sit down to an instrument, I like to have it in tune.
Mrs. Banks: But, George, you don't play.
George Banks: Madam, that is entirely beside the point!

Plus I love how the servants always refer to Mr. Banks as “the Master” and Mrs. Banks is so incredibly submissive albeit a bit stupid and dimwitted (to say the least!).
