Eyelashes? Or Surgery? The Game.

Yesterday it was my mom’s birthday and long ago, my mom and I saw at our nail place that they installed fake eyelash extensions. We ogled over this and always thought, we should SO go do that! A couple weeks ago as I was thinking about my mom’s birthday present, it hit me like a ton of bricks: YES! Fake eyelash [...]

The Nerve.

I’m fresh from the neurologist with a leg prognosis that is best told by pictures. (In this scenario, the nerve is the one with the angry eyes. His name is “obturator nerve” but we can call him Franken-nerve because it’s almost Halloween.) Frankennerve had all these lymph node friends to keep him warm but when they were taken out along [...]

The BOOYAH Race.

Saturday I raced. This race was very important to me. I call it the “BOOYAH!” race because it is the first triathlon I finished post-cansuh, post-surgery and told the Cansuh, “BOOYAH!” It’s one thing to meet milestones for running and biking and swimming during training but a race somehow formalizes everything and makes it real. It is a concrete, solid, “YES [...]

Today. 6 Months After The Cansuh.

Ok, friends, I’m going to share something really personal with you today. (If you can handle the pee bag, you can handle anything.) Six months ago today, I drove myself to the doctor to hear I had cervical cancer or as I like to call it, “The Cansuh.” I can finally look back and see how insane that was and what a [...]

The Monday Manifesto: If You Can’t Have a Baby, Get a Dog.

So I’m drowning my sorrows in puppy. It’s no secret I’ve been struggling over the past four months with the fact that my baby making days are done. Of course, the less I try to think about it the more little girls in these adorable dresses and pigtails seem to frolic around me, twirling, and the more super pregnant bellies [...]

The Fuzzy Uterus

The Story of My New Fake Uterus Friend, I.e. “Bubble Gum Guy” So while at BlogHer ’12 I got a wonderful text from my friend (we’ll call her Martha because that’s what I call her even though her name is Marisa) which said someone was giving out fuzzy uteruses (uteri? plural?) at the expo. Now, I’ve heard everything! And also [...]

Weekly Pinspiration: Strength, Crazy, and Crazy Strength

Inspiration I Found Pinworthy This Week. Sometimes I pour my heart onto these pages and I shudder when I press “publish.” Especially with this post, where I cried as I pressed publish because the details were too much, even for me (oh how I agonized over those words). I very much thought someone bigger than me was in control of [...]

Foto Friday: Free to Good Home

One of the (very few) “perks” of a hysterectomy: I’m finger quoting the “perks” word since there are only two “perks” I know of which are getting rid of the Cansuh and also having no more “friend,” which, (if we’re being cup-half-full-people, which we are, especially after having a sort of down week) are pretty good perks. My white pants [...]

The Monday Manifesto: Still Grieving? Well, You See, There Are These Stages…

There are 5 Stages of Grief, Sometimes 7 Depending on Who You Ask  And I am on stage 4. Depression.  That sounds dramatic when I type it like that, but it’s not all the time or anything, just… sometimes. I still struggle. A lot. At home. Secretly. Behind my glasses. There are days where I just walk slower. My heart is [...]

Sunday’s Pinspiration.

These are the pins that spoke to me this week. (Feel free to click on them for the source and repin.) This weekend I found out I have a problem relaxing. Do you? I love this. Especially when I try not to cry. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to feel. Also, I just love Zooey DeChanel. I feel like [...]
