What doesn't kill you...

I write this in appreciation of one of the toughest gals I know. My mom.

Yesterday was a big day. It was my moms final chemo treatment. In 3 weeks we are hopefully throwing a no more chemo party (once she is all rested and feeling better). Last November, on top of my separation hitting a rather nasty bump, the manfriend of the moment falling off the face of the planet and my companies revenues basically going down the toilet my mother was diagnosed with the big c. Breast Cancer. It was not a good day, week, month or few months in my family. It was tough.

Now 2 surgeries, 6 chemo treatments and 8 months later we are on to the next step radiation. Yay!!!!

Mom, you are amazing and I told you if living with dad for 35 years hasn't killed you, nothing will.

The Other-side of Divorce

So 2 days ago it happened. My one year is up. I have been separated for a year and we can now finally apply for divorce (though we need to get our separation/custody agreement finished first). Its weird. Weird how fast the time went by, and how different I am from this time last year.

Funny thing is different isn't really the right word. I'm more me than I have been in years. I've gone back to doing the things I liked before I got married. The things I let slide. Apparently it took losing myself in someone else to really discover who I was. I like who I am.

My newest adventure is I have become a home consultant for a little Canadian company. What do I sell you ask? Oh I know it's killing you. Avon? Nope. Mary-Kay? Nope.

Hanky Panky. That's right I am now a consultant for an adult toy company. And am super excited about it. My girl friends as I used to host these every few months when we were younger. They were always such fun. We always had the same girl from the same company come out and she was hilarious. What a great fun way to do a girls night. So one day after going to a friends jewelry party I was trying to think of a way to get a little extra cash and I thought of this.

I have my first party this weekend. I'm super excited. Wish me luck!

(anyone who lives in Vancouver or surrounding area and would love to have a party let me know. They have to be experienced at least once, I guarantee you'll spend the night laughing your ass off)
