What's that?<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">NORMAL.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Is that a real thing? Can anything really truly be considered normal?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After chemo this had become a thing I constantly ponder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
I finished chemotherapy in 2014 but I still have what I call 'side effects' from it. Anxiety and depression are the two biggest ones. We won't mention my damn "chemo toes". <insert emoji="" eye="" here="" roll=""> </insert><br />
<br />
I've experienced these mental illnesses for a long time but they have surfaced and gotten worse over the years. I'm constantly worrying if I'm good enough, did I say thank you, did I show gratitude and appreciation, did I do enough, and so on. I am always asking myself "What will happen if I didn't?"<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">NOTHING.</span></b><br />
<br />
That's what will happen. Nothing at all. I'm the only one in this fight against myself. I create in my head all this worry and fear. I'm a believer and I know that if I "let go and let God" I can breathe a little easier. Sometimes, though, that is easier said than done. So what I have started doing to cope with this is start a journal.<br />
<br />
I've recently had some big panic attacks that scared the crap out of me. So much that I sought out a counselor to help me out. It's been such a great thing too! I don't regret it one bit! She's encouraged me to break out my bible and study it. She's opened my eyes to realize all this darkness can be taken away from me. God's light will shine through if I let it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path." </i><b>Psalm 119:105</b></div>
<br />
So with lots of prayer, soul searching, going to church again regularly, opening my heart fully for God to take control, I've managed to get a grip on things. Well, more than a grip, I've realized without God I am nothing. He above all else will never fail me and will always have forgiveness for me. Because he loves me. He loves YOU!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="link" href="https://www.bible.com/bible/1/PHP.4.6.KJV" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "avenir next", avenir, "helvetica neue", helvetica, ubuntu, "segoe ui", sans-serif; outline: currentcolor dotted 1px; text-align: start; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.15s ease-in 0s;"></a></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; line-height: 1.5; text-align: center;">
<i>"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. </i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; text-align: left;">And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">.</span></i></span><i>" </i><b>Philipians 4:6-7</b></div>
<br />
I am documenting this so that every time I feel anxious, depressed, or having any other negative thoughts that I can come back and read this and know that GOD's got me in the palm of his hands.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />*ahem* Is this thing on? 🎤</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's been a coons age since I've blogged but I think I need to start using this outlet again! It's been sitting dormant for FAR too long!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So let's unpack my bags and get started! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">I started this blog many, many moons ago. Eight whole years ago to be exact. I've gained so many friendships from this blog. Many whom I still connect with regularly through social media. Gotta love it! I wouldn't trade their friendship for anything! Some people don't understand it but the ones who do know what we have!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">So What have I been up to? Well, here's the short version. (I save you from the long boring one. Ha!) I've been working, living, battling anxiety and depression, remodeling a house, being lazy and not cleaning my own, add a few trips and mood swings in between, and that about sums it up! It's been one hell of a roller coaster. I've alive and well for the most part. But I working on being more alive and the best version of my self! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">My plan is to document it all here. The journey of living with myself in my head, my anxiety, my depression and the fun stuff too! So get ready for some regular posts! I am so glad to be back in the blog saddle! Check back soon!</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been in this blogging community for about 4 years now. I have loved every minute of it! Hold your horses there Tonto! I'm not going anywhere! I've got too much to say and I love to share! So you're stuck with me. Unless you decide to quit following and hope that isn't an option!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are many things that I have been taught through blogging or I have had to learn the hard way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiARQBoUhqITF_CieZbiO4x0rqa_kDto4BHdobW-V39hIMiqibod4a5rCg2EoOpKf7EDw065OLp11qO7gAM4jCbCviMXg3pAWoW0qJ7qnAzbrZUwMFATEQ-OixUsCiCPnkq2g1RC9FTplXP/s1600/blog.jpg" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Be a first rate version of yourself. Don't pretend to be something you aren't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Share what you want to, not because you have to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Making friends online is just as awesome as friends in real life. They will become real life friends in the long run!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Painting your nails much more often will happen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. More time than not you will find yourself coming up with ideas to post about. I even have a notepad app on my phone that I use to jot down ideas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. There are bloggers who blog for fame and fortune. Then there are bloggers who blog just for themselves. To each their own, but I prefer to keep the stress level down and just keep it simple and do it for me. Those who do it for the money, you're still cool, just don't change yourself because ain't nobody got time for that fake mess!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. If you need gift ideas, outfit ideas, home décor ideas, or any other ideas you can find it in blogland. It's just as good a Pinterest! Maybe even better! Yes, I said that. I may be a tad bit biased!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are there things you are learning or have learned as you blog? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
FINALLY fall is here to stay for a while! I have a love for all the seasons, but the in between seasons are my favorite because it's not too hot or not too cold outside! Both in between seasons are full of color as well! I love me some color! Colorful flowers in spring and colorful leaves in the fall! <br />
<br />
Here in SC the last few weekends have been perfect weather! [despite this past week full of rain] Mid to Low 70's with clear skies! Ahhhh, yesssss! We, I mean I, had planned to stay home two weekends ago and hang around the house. My intentions were to get some cleaning done and not have much of anything to do. Well, with my family that doesn't go over well because we are always on the go. We ended up going four wheeling! Go figure! haha<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
We went with a friend that the hubs works with and his wife. We had a lot of fun! I had never been there before so it was a new experience for me. For Zane's birthday this passed year we got him his own side by side. He loves it! Well so does his Mama and Daddy too! I got to drive for a little while because Zane gets bored. Go figure! It's not a huge place like I am used to going. The places I go you never see the same spot more than twice unless you are going back to the parking lot. <br />

As we were riding around the trails having a good time: hubs in front, me and Zane in the middle, our friends in the back. Going up and down 'round each turn there was fun. I got into it and show out. I tried to throw up a little dirt and spin the rear end around. It all started with those famous words "Watch this Zane!"</div>

Yep. That's what happens when you don't realize you have a shorter wheelbase and turn too sharp too fast! We both were safe. We had helmets and seat belts on. Once I checked on Zane and made sure he was okay, I hollered "STEVE!" He was not within 'hollering' distance. Luckily his friends were behind us and helped us get out. Zane unbuckled and got out easily. Me, not so much. My friend had to reach in and unbuckle me because my seat belt was locked in place holding me in. I was literally dangling by it. I finally crawled my big tail out and analyzed the situation. LAWD have mercy Steve is gonna kill me! He still hasn't come back at this point. A guy on a four wheeler stopped and checked on us and we told him if he saw a camo Teryx4 to come back. Ha! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got the Rzr turned back over on all 4 before the hubs came back to us. He said "What the hell did you do?" I laughed and said I was sorry! I also realized that I was going to be so sore then next day! I hurt my knee and my stomach where the seat belt was pulled super tight! It was fun and I am glad that no one got hurt! Safety first y'all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have also been enjoying the fall weather by getting out and hitting the dirt roads and hiking trails. I won't go too far on a hike. Just a mile or two, maybe 4 if the hubs is lucky! haha! It just depends on the terrain too! Recently we went to <a href="http://www.sctrails.net/Trails/ALLTRAILS/Waterfalls/Spoonauger.html" target="_blank">Spoonauger Falls.</a> It was pretty! We took our new beagle pup Ruger with us too! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>I never let my hair define me. I embraced it.</em></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since</span><a href="http://thecarolinacountrygirl.blogspot.com/2014/07/ive-come-long-way.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> shaving my head</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> last Spring it has been a constant battle with not only what I look like but my self confidence. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIxGS0Mq8KekRDyjJys-27E-cSujOYMuBcHShtNmB2JesmMkkoJG_IMSVAgeCniDMQLITti8kXQjiDCTBD5xytgNjrbGXb8K9C6BpSCI02P86uoDjVRbHK-0YrB9POR3J-pzrEQZ4L-g-/s640/2014+HAIR+Collage.jpg" width="540" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From April to December in the above photos my hair started growing back before I even finished treatment. Everyday, everywhere I went, I felt like someone was looking at me like "Whoa! What happened to her hair?" Then I would tell myself "Anna, you are battling the biggest fight of your life. Cancer. Rock that bald head like a badge of honor." And I DID! I somehow managed to keep most of my confidence and had no desire to wear a wig or cover my head. Unless I knew I was going to be in the sun for a while, I would wear a hat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once it was grown out enough to start looking out of control I would use wax or gel and tousle it or spike it up a little. I did the best with what I had. What hair I had. Ha! As my hair grew I hated what I looked like. I told myself as soon as it grew long enough for some hair extensions that I would get some. I have never had anything like that before but I felt like it would help me feel better about what I looked like. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So with that "big idea" for hair extensions, I went for it. I had a consultation and the stylist had to order what I would need. Then I went back for the installation. I say that like I am getting an engine upgrade or something! Yeah right! So I walked out of there not sure what just happened. Not sure if I liked it or not. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGtESxsv6i9o47B13Cj2cicg1nAM-RaP5FZMwpIOmEmZwmwKrp9yhCiJ7JT9-nFmO4WtnpzYDluuWKOn4Gv0KGd1V5pEYLS2Q1Ao-soqgoEh01gF8uimKRJ3NC2j1i-ySjlye0fLp5KWRO/s320/10476456_10153117222315499_9011300330655076477_n.jpg" width="240" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I was in shock for the next week. It was shorter than I thought it would have been. I felt like an old lady with a wig. That is because it was sort of like a wig. </span><a href="http://www.hotheadshairwear.com/hairwear.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is what we used on my short hair. It worked but I hated it. At first I thought it was too light and then it was getting loose. You can see it lifting from my scalp here:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBILydkF0U0ZgjQMs2sIRJ_O5Gt-GZhtQeumInpsxkwRrEAWr0u_aFVajj9F5OHCY5MQ9jgzBicMBFCPU1adYPe2UYa9mQpNTLZK0sv3RZ2TQD-4kBilAWAGo2aURVQkrfIPmzerQVmGHd/s320/1.jpg" width="319" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I called the stylist that did it and told her and asked her if she could tone it down a bit. She was fine with it and worked me in her schedule. I was greatly appreciated by that because I know she was giving up her time to help me out. I was a stylist once so I know what that is like. I went in and she helped me like it and feel better about having these extensions. I liked the darker much better! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34eo3k5tKc9mV1cL8-OgP1wvPja-GFTFUdQfO4e5OR8CRaHyzLsJkTyYi00bsy1dCPtmuwvPvy-MUKpweaMV3Nxx4tYEQI-KryCezo-9kR-YlpZFlSNeCoBecssNzA8dh9OMa7tIQrCJE/s320/MAR+22+15.jpg" width="320" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wore it for a few months and dealt with it but it was more work than I really wanted to do. I couldn't wash it everyday like I was used to and I knew this going into it. It was also hard to style. It was more work that I wanted to put the effort into. I guess because I am not a high maintenance kind of girl! After going four wheeling and felt like it was going to fall out at a moments notice, I was done. I made an appointment and had it removed. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders! I was relieved that I didn't have to deal with that mess any more! The stylist also offered to color my hair and gave me the suggestion to go with a reddish brown color. I was iffy at first but I LOVED it! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I have finally found a style and color that I like! I don't have to do much to it if I don't want to and I can wash it everyday! I know the professionals say not to do that but if my hair isn't washed everyday it gets greasy and no one wants to see that! And no, dry shampoo is not my friend with short hair. Am I going to keep short hair? I still plan to grow it out so that I can have a ponytail again. But I have embraced this style that I have now and actually enjoyed fixing my hair again!</span></div>

The majority of women we see in movies and media have long hair, if they have short hair, they're usually cute little petite women. The number one thing I hear from people is that they could never cut their hair short, "I just don't have the face". So let me put this out there: IF YOU HAVE A FACE, YOU CAN HAVE SHORT HAIR. </em></span><em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can tell you, and I know many women who can attest to this, they never regret cutting their hair. They learned so much about themselves and how they view themselves, and it resulted in a more positive body image. Now, I'm not advocating for you to just go out and chop all of your hair off (unless you've been wanting to, then by all means get to chopping!) but what I'm trying to get across here is that beauty is what we make it. Whether your hair is long or short, whether you're curvy or stick straight, you're beautiful. You're beautiful if you have freckles, or if you're on the pale side. You're beautiful if your skin is always red, if you have birthmarks</span>."</em> </div>

On that day one year and seven months ago, I was nervous and I was pissed. Nervous that I was having to have this done on Valentine's day. I had never had anything like this done before and knowing that I wouldn't get the results back for over a week. </div>

Once we went back to find out, it was all down hill from there. On April 8, 2014 I had my first treatment of AVBD. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This was me on the last day of my last chemotherapy treatment. September 9, 2014. #12 of 12! Six months later!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">In that first
picture so many things were going on. I was terrified. I didn't know what to
expect. I had no clue what life as a cancer patient would be like. It was hell,
I won't lie about that one bit. I was in a lot of pain from the cancer. My
doctors and nurses were absolutely AMAZING! I could not have asked for any
better people to be taking care of me, along with my husband, mother,
grandmother and lots of friends.</span> From accepting that it is ok to be
taken care of and not be able to do things that I wanted to do sucked. It sucked
some of the life right out of me. I like to do stuff for myself and not be
dependent on others. Well God had other plans. It’s okay to ask for help
sometimes and accept help when offered. I had some pride that needed to be
swallowed. It was a BIG GULP for me, but I did it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I was sick more
than I was my normal self for the whole entire time during treatments. When I
did have a good day I tried to take full advantage of it. I would get the hubs
to take me out just to get out of the house because that is where I stayed most
of the time, in the bed or on the couch. Nausea was my new normal. I hated EVERY.SINGLE.MOMENT.
of the nausea. That was the worst part for me. No amount of drugs or medicine
other than being completely out of it made it go away. If I was out of it once
I came to the nausea would kick me right in the face saying “I’m here bitch”!
It was no joke. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That 6+ months was one of the hardest times that I have ever had to endure. I put on my big girl panties and dealt with it. With God on my side I pushed through. I can remember lying the bed crying my eyes out into my pillow hoping that the hubs wouldn't noticed. I would pray that I am thankful I am going through this and not my husband or my child. I would pray that it would soon go away. More thankful than not I was happy to just be breathing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong, I still had my own personal pity parties. A LOT! No one really saw that side. I hid it pretty well or I seem to think I did. Less than 5 people may have got to see that side. I didn't want people to feel sorry for me. Yeah it sucks to have to go through something so awful but I want you to empower me not help me pity myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To keep from sitting around thinking about all the crappy, sad, and emotional stuff that went along with having cancer: I worked as much as I could handle it. It kept me feeling somewhat normal. To still have a little bit of schedule and normalcy. I jumped at any chance to have some part of what I thought was normal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is there a such a thing called normal?</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No one will ever realize the interior battles that come along with cancer. During cancer and after cancer. From what I have heard it could last the rest of my life. Let's hope not. I want to overcome these issues. <br />
<br />
I constantly battle different issues in my head. One, confusion. I can get confused so easily. Not just the normal- 'I am not paying attention and didn't hear all that you said' confusion. I can hear you clearly, paying full attention, but after you walk away I am more confused than at the beginning of our conversation. The hubs and I battle this one out frequently. It doesn't happen all the time but you can bet your tail I will let you know I am confused! Laugh it up! I know I do!<br />
<br />
Two, forgetfulness. If I don't write it down, I WILL FORGET! If I don't write it down and then do it within 5 minutes- IT WONT GET DONE. Because I will forget about it and won't remember it either! So sticky notes are more of my best friend than they ever have been! Maybe I should invest in some 3M stock! I mean gah!<br />
<br />
Three, I always want to be doing something. This probably goes along with feeling like I missed out on so much last year while I was kicking cancer's ass! I feel like I need to make up for lost time. That's a good and a bad thing. Good because I am able to go and do. Bad because I not only will wear myself out, I wear out my family, and our bank account. I have good intentions but sometimes it gets the best of me and then I just pitch a fit like a toddler or a 7 year old that I know! (spoiled brats we are!) <br />
<br />
Four. When I talk I might say one word out of a whole sentence twice. Almost like a stutter. It's like my brain processed it twice and so I say it twice. I have learned to deal with it. Like the confusion it doesn't happen all the time. Just depends on how much is going on in my head! <br />
<br />
These may seem normal to you once you read them, but these things didn't occur before or maybe they occurred just changed or intensified after treatment. I notice that I get frustrated and can't explain myself right then. I have to chill out a minute and then explain. I always use the "Chemo Brain" card. Chemo brain can be a frustrating and debilitating but I deal with it. My favorite motto in the last 2 years has been "It is what it is." That is how I try to be an overcomer! <br />

Today I am thankful! Very Thankful! Thankful that I am able to do the things I want and enjoy life! I have always said I will live life to its fullest. That rings true more and more today now than it ever has! As I set new goals in life, I have to make time for those new things and sacrifice other things. My family and I have always been on the go and do all kinds of things. We have been very fortunate to do so!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I got this in an email this morning and it rings true! I have always tried to not let life hold me down. I am a spontaneous person and I like to 'fly by the seat of my pants' all too often. I am okay with it! I have fun and that's what really matters! Don't let house chores or excuses hold you back from doing what you really want to do in life. It may not seem like much to one person but to you it is! I want each one of you to read this carefully and realize you need to say <i><b>yes</b></i> every now and then!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
___________________________________________________</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.<br />
I got to thinking one day about all those people on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible. <br />
How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word 'refrigeration' mean nothing to you? <br />
How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched ' Jeopardy ' on television? <br />
<br />
I cannot count the times I called my sister and said , 'How about going to lunch in a half hour?' She would gas up and stammer, 'I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain' And my personal favorite: 'It's Monday.' She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. <br />
<br />
Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches.. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect! <br />
We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve toilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college. <br />
<br />
Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of 'I'm going to,' 'I plan on,' and 'Someday, when things are settled down a bit.' <br />
When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord. <br />
<br />
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-Decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy. <br />
<br />
Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to...not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? <br />
<br />
Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask 'How are you?' Do you hear the reply? <br />
<br />
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? Ever told your child, 'We'll do it tomorrow.' And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say 'Hi'? <br />
<br />
When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away..... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over. <br />
'Life may not be the party we hoped for... But while we are here we might as well dance AND GO TO THE REUNION !<br />

You guys! I've missed you! I am slowly trying my damnedest to get back into a schedule of blogging again! Things are going great for me right now and I hope that they are for you too! I have so much to share with you! If you follow me on facebook or instagram you know what's up with me and how I am doing. If you don't follow me, well, you should. Get on that right now! I'll wait.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, good! I'm glad you follow me now! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well in March I shared with you some sad news. <i>(you can read about it <a href="http://thecarolinacountrygirl.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-c-word.html" target="_blank">here</a>.) 9</i> months later and I am still alive! I've kicked cancer's ass! I am done with my treatments and I am starting to get my energy back! Before I go into details about all that, let's back up a bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma my family decided to get a benefit together to help with medical expenses. I was very weary of this but I decided to let them have the reins and go for it! Whew what a show they did! I am honored to have all of these folks in my life. I am truly blessed that they all love me too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They started out selling t-shirts. The cutest t-shirts ever! My awesome neighbor created and designed them! On the front it says "Hodgkin's Lymphoma Leave my friend alone." The back reads "Carolina Country Girl kick Hodgkin's Lymhpoma to the curb! You've got this!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They sold out of these shirts and had to order more! They sold them through word of mouth, social media, and events held in our city. I still get the feeling of joy in my heart every single time I see someone wearing this shirt. It warms my heart! </div>

It took several months of planning but my friends and family put together a benefit for me. TONS of items were donated from around the community. The benefit was on July 19th. It was a rainy and dreary day but let me tell you, people came out and showed complete support! They sold super yummy BBQ plates, had a huge indoor yard sale, and an auction for many special items! It was a great big turn out! I attended the whole thing and socialized so much that I missed the auction! I enjoyed every minute of it! </div>

Many people came together and helped out in so many ways! I am thankful to work with some very awesome people who truly care! I got to shave the heads of co-workers that paid money in a pot to get to a certain dollar amount by 5pm. Well they all ended up shaving their heads for my cause! I am so blessed to have these people in my life. They always ask me how do I keep such a great spirit and positive attitude during such a hard time. My response is being blessed with special people in my life that keep me living for tomorrow!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <strong>DO </strong>like that I have made LOTS of new friends throughout this whole process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <strong>DON'T</strong> like how I get sick and how long I stay sick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <b>DO</b> like that even with such a thing as cancer and how brutal it can be to you and your family a community can come together and help someone in need out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <b>DON'T</b> like the fact that since I've been on chemotherapy my sense of smell is super duper sensitive! It has really made me think about where I can and can't go! ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <b>DO</b> like that I get to eat Popsicles during one of my treatments. After eating them every time for 6 months I am over the whole Popsicle thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <b>DON'T</b> like getting poked every single time. I am such a baby! I have come a long way from crying at the sight of the chemo nurses to sucking it up and gritting my teeth when they poke that big needle in my chest. </div>

Let's flashback to around Easter when my hair started falling out. The doctor and the nurses had told me that I would start to lose my hair around the 16th day. It was spot on because that day I could run my fingers through my beautiful hair and I would come out with handfuls of hair. That was on a Tuesday and Wednesday my best friend's sister in-law took some family photos before all my hair would be gone. </div>

That Saturday afternoon, I got my best friend to shave my hair for me. She organized a little place in her garage and had her sister in-law take pictures again! It was a day to remember and forget all at the same time. The Hubs snuck a buzz cut on himself while I was inside getting my head washed. Actually my BFFs hubby helped him out. When I walked back into the garage I was greeted by my bald hubs with champagne flutes full of Mtn. Dew! Ha! I was so proud of myself for not crying. I was scared to death but at the same time, I have rocked this bald head ever since! I am not a vain person so going without my hair for a little while should be okay right? Heck, it cut out 30 mins of my time to get ready in the mornings. That's a big deal!</div>

On Tuesday I took Chemo treatment #9 out of 12 total. It made me sick for two days. I am so ready for this to be over! I am counting down the days that I don't have to go through this anymore! Thank you all for keeping my family and I in your prayers! It means so much to us!</div>

Dang! Ive left y'all hanging for WAY too long! I've been busy being sick and all that gravy stuff. So I left y'all with how much I hated getting that bone marrow test done, and I still hate it! lol All of my other tests went great. I do not have any cancer in my bones or in the marrow so that was great news! I also had surgery to have a port installed under the skin on my right side where they will have access to get blood or run all my chemo through instead of straight through my veins. </div>

My cancer is a stage 4. That pretty much means that I have it in more than one place. I have it from my neck down to right above my hips pretty much. I get pains in my abdominal area and my right side the most. The pain was excruciating at one point, but I think that we have got that under control now. Thankfully!</div>

On April 8 I had my first chemo treatment. <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(also this day was my 8th wedding anniversary)</span></i> My grandmother went with me. She was a trooper! We were there for about 5 hours. I felt good while I was there and even afterwards. Once I got to my grandmother's house I was really tired. I took a good long nap until my mom came to take me to my house to rest more. </div>

For the next few days I was feeling tired and weak. I didn't want to do much at all. That Friday I got really sick and didn't hardly move from the bed. The weekend came and I felt a little better. Saturday night I got a fever and had to call the nurse. I was put on an antibiotic and had to visit the office the next day. They gave me some meds and we all hoped I would be better. I was better but not completely. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wednesday night I got really sick. A fever of 104.2 is never good especially in a cancer patient. I also had some stomach pain that I barely could stand to have my pants touch much less anything else. I was to be seen the next day at the oncologists office. They took blood cultures to make sure I had no infections. They gave me several meds through my port and the doctor was trying to figure out what was going on. He wanted to make sure that I felt better before the weekend. I'm glad he said that because heck I did too! No one likes to be in pain. Between all the meds he gave me I started to feel a little better by the time I got home. I was to come back the next day to make sure what he gave me was working and to get the results of the blood cultures. I have no infections! YAY! I was also feeling better than I had felt in about a week! So what he did was working and we were all happy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've gone the weekend feeling the best I've felt in a few days! I know it won't last but I'm enjoying it while I can! I have to keep a close eye on my fever when it goes up so we don't get more issues. Tomorrow I get my second treatment. I'm ready. Let's do this! </div>

Words cannot express the love that I have felt from all of your thoughts and prayers! I have been so overwhelmed with all the comments from here and Facebook, but that is a super good thing! I promise! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last Friday I went to the oncologist for the first time and I woke up with loving support once again! My blogger best friend Jen and blog friends rallied together to show me that support! #TeamTCCG (you can use this on any social media!) Thanks Jen and friends! You guys are amazing!</div>

Friday at the oncologist he went over what the next steps were and what chemo would do to me. This week I have gone through a bone marrow test, a echocardiogram, pulmonary function test, PET scan, and a few others that I can't remember right off hand. All of these happened in a week! It went so fast! The next thing for me to get done is a port. Not sure what a port is? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(medical)">Read about it here</a>. They will do the surgery next week. Then I meet with the oncologist again to find out what stage my cancer is in and then the next step is how much chemotherapy that I will get. Oh Joy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first test was the bone marrow test. I can't explain how nervous I was. My anxiety really got the best of me that day. Luckily, I had my mom and some awesome nurses there to make me comfortable. I would never wish this procedure on my worst enemy! Take it as that. I showed my tail y'all! I cried, I screamed, and sweat so much that the paper on the table turned to mush! I did tell them if I EVER have to go through that again they have to put me completely under! Lidocaine just didn't cut it for me! With the worst over, the rest of the tests were a breeze. Now to get my port and get this show on the road! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have good and bad days with all of this. Wouldn't anyone? I've been so busy that I don't think that it really has sunk in completely. Once the dust settles from this tornado I have a feeling it's going to hit me hard. Just keep on prayin y'all! I need all I can get! It feel so weird asking for prayers at all. Just because I am not one to ask. But this is one of those kinds of situations you do whatever it takes to make it better. </div>

Yesterday my life changed forever. I got news that I wasn't completely ready for. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me back up just a little bit back in July I noticed a knot on the left side of my neck. It wasn't painful and didn't really bother me other than the thought that it was there. I didn't have insurance to just run off to the doctor to find out what it was. I was working for a company as a contractor and insurance just didn't matter. So end of August came around and I got a new job with insurance. I didn't think much about the knot at this point, I was just living and not worrying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I joined our city gym and started to work out with my best friend. I felt good doing Pilates and going to other classes. One of the classes didn't turn out so well for me. I lost my breath and luckily there was an EMT taking the class and she checked me out to make sure that I was okay. I was, but just out of breath. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that incident I didn't work out much again and my best friend helped me decide that I really need to get checked out by a doctor. So I scheduled an appointment to see my doctor. I went in and told him all that had happened and even told him about my knot. As soon as he touched it he said he would refer me to and ENT. I thought okay, no biggie. Thyroid or something minor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About a week later I went to the ENT. She was awesome! She explained to me and the hubs everything that she was going to do. She ran a camera down from my nose all the way to my vocal cords to see if there was anything she could see that would cause me to lose my breath or a blockage. She didn't see anything. She felt around on my neck and feeling the knot too. She wanted me to have a CT scan and have dye injected to see what was going on. On Feb. 14th, I went in and got the CT scan done. Man, that was wild! That dye, weird! It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy but not in a good way. She said that in a week we would come back to review the scan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hubs and I went back and she showed us the scanned images. There were several lymph nodes in and around my neck. She was concerned and wanted to do a surgical biopsy and remove some to send off to find out exactly what it is. She scheduled the surgery for March 5th. I was scared to death. I had never had any kind of surgery except to have my wisdom teeth removed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On March 5th we show up at the hospital at 7am. The hubs, my mom, his mom and I go up the elevator and they told my family that I have to back alone first to get set up and they would page them to come back to my little room. Right then my heart dropped to my stomach. I didn't want to be left alone at all! I went back and was ordered to undress and put on a purple paper gown. It was hot as hell! I was sweating like crazy! The nurse took a tube that blew air and attached it to my gown! Ahh! Much better! She then tried to start an iv. UGH! I have rolling veins so it is always a challenge when they start an iv on me. She couldn't find a good vein to start in. You know when you look at your wrist and you see that bone sticking out? She tried to run an iv there! I was upset because it hurt and I asked her to take it out. She said that she would get the anesthesiologist to start the iv. I thanked her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then she finally paged my family to come in. I was ready to get that mess over with. The anesthesiologist came in and talked to me and started my iv with no problem at all! Thank goodness! I was given some meds to ease my mind and after that I was wheeled off and I don't remember much after that. I woke up in recovery thirsty as all get out. The nurse there gave me some ice chips and took off. I can remember thinking "come back I want more!" She came back but took me back to my little room where my family was waiting for me. My Nana had shown up and I was happy to hear her voice. I was happy to hear every one's voice but she stood out for some reason. I was stiff and had to pee so bad. They let me get up and walk to the bathroom! I had the iv and a line that my mom was trying to help carry and I took it from her and rushed to the bathroom. I had to go that bad. ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once they knew I could get around they let me get my clothes on and go home around 2pm. The ride home was rough. I felt every bump and it made me hurt a little. I tried to sleep the rest of the day but I never did. I didn't sleep well at night after that. I'm a side sleeper and I had to be on my back. The hubs said that I was a big baby that night trying to get in bed. He literally had to cradle me and lean me back into my pillow. For 4 days I was waited on hand and foot by the hubs. He is the best and most amazing husband ever! I couldn't ask for more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Monday I returned to work and waited until Wednesday to get the results from the biopsy. Going into that ENT office and waiting was nerve wrecking! The hubs and my mom came with me for support. I was diagnosed with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodgkin's_lymphoma">Hodgkin's Lymphoma</a>. It's cancer. Great. Not what I wanted to hear. No one does. I've cried, and cried, and cried. I will get through this. I have to suck it up and deal with it. God is right here with me guiding the way. It's just so hard to accept the fact that I have cancer. The C word. I have many cheerleaders already and I'm thankful. I love my support group. Without them I would still be in pity party mode. Well, I still get that way, but who doesn't. We can't wallow in it. We have to fight it and be strong. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will meet a cancer doctor in the next two weeks to get the process started to find out what stage it is in and what to course of action will be. I will keep y'all posted as much as I can! Peace, love, and chicken grease y'all! </div>

Our weekend was pretty awesome. We drove up to NC to visit my favorite cousin Amy! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's the one that let us stay at her house during Christmas two years ago in Kansas! Like I said, she's awesome. So we left after we got Zane from school Friday and got there that night. We stayed up talking and hanging out. The boys fell asleep in the recliner. </div>

The next morning the hubs had to go find some parts for a car and we stayed in our pj's until about 10am or so. I was just relaxed because we didn't have a set in stone plan. We just went with the flow. We got showers and hopped in the truck and rode to town. Checked out a few cute stores and had lunch. We then started towards the OBX but changed our minds because we were tired of driving so much. Ha! We rode around singing and laughing. Lots of fun! It was a great weekend and we didn't want to leave. We enjoyed our stay and will be back soon! We love our Amy!</div>

On our way home we stopped at South of the Border. I've always heard about it and seen the signs but I've never been. It was neat. Statues every where of Pedro and all kinds of animals. Even a Jackalope! It's a little touristy town with novelties and such. I've heard the restaurant Sombrero's is good but we didn't eat there. We plan to go back and explore more when we have more time!</div>

Happy Friday y'all! I've seen this before on many blogs and on <a href="http://www.twothirdshazel.com/">Two Thirds Hazel</a>. I thought it was cute and so I wanted to participate this time! As soon as I saw it up this morning, I knew I was doing it today! </div>

I also skipped one question! On purpose I might add! "If no one would find out, I would..." I honestly can't think of anything. Maybe fly to Vegas, spend a shit load of money and come back? I just don't know! Great question though!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In all honesty this year so far has been a rough for me personally. I've had some gallbladder issues, some back, and neck issues too. I'm not one to complain. I am a little whiney, but that's different to me. lol I'm taking it one day at a time. I know others have it harder than I do. So enough of this pitiful crap, let's catch up shall we?</div>

Well, it has snowed <strong><u>twice</u></strong> here since I have talked to y'all! <strong>TWICE!</strong> It was a lot of fun! We went sledding. We pulled the sled with the teryx and really had fun! We also drove around our community even where cars had not been in two days! It was a winter wonderland around here for a few days.</div>

In the South we don't get much snow so when we get it we enjoy it as much as possible. It was nice but I am glad to see it go. Bring on Spring baby! The flip flop weather and beach time is what I am ready for! We don't have a big vacation planned this year, so we will be hanging out at the beach as much as we can this summer. I'm ready to just relax and let go of all this stress!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Valentine's day came and went. We didn't really celebrate big this year. We just exchanged I love you's and did dinner together. 5 days later was the Hubs birthday. He has been working nights and we really didn't get to celebrate. Zane and I did bake him a red velvet cake, per the hubs request. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We took a drive one day the hubs was off a came across my favorite waterfall! Bald River Falls! The hubs and I have lots of memories in this area of NC/TN. We shared that with Zane for the first time. He wasn't too enthused. Oh well. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That about wraps it up. I've been super lazy and have no motivation right now. I will get back on track once I get back to feeling myself again. It's a work in progress. That's life y'all! Until next time, keep on keepin on! </div>

If you've been around here a while you may have figured out that the hubs works in and out of town all the time. Most of the time if he is out of town, it's close enough for me to drive to on the weekends just so that our family is together. There have been times when we are hundreds of miles apart. There are also times when he has to work the vampire shift. UGH!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well it's that time. Time for him to work third shift. I absolutely HATE it! It is so hard for our family to function and get used to it. It's even harder on the weekends when the hubs is trying to sleep and Zane and I are a wake. I am constantly reminding Z to be quiet. I hate getting on to him all the time. I feel like a broken record. Not to mention that he is moody when he works vampire shifts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the while this is such an inconvenience, I try to stay humble. I try to remind myself that he is doing this for us. Making the sacrifice to provide for us. His family. So that we have what we need and want. There are so many people out there that go without. I've tried to keep in my mind to be humble all the time but sometimes life gets in the way and blocks it out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most people dedicate a word or phrase for themselves each year. I know that Shelley Smith from The House of Smiths has done this a time or two. This year, I am going to do this to help me stay focused. As you now may have guessed what mine is going to be.</div>

It's a new year and everyone is making and working towards their resolutions. I have one and only one. Lose 30 pounds before I'm 30. That's basically 1 pound per week. Easily obtainable for anyone. If I lose more, great, if I don't great too. I just want to get back on track to being healthy. I want to start jogging/running again. Just for me, no marathons. Lately I've gotten so careless and just eating whatever. I don't really over eat, I just eat what I want to. Eating out is one of my worst habits! I eat out everyday for lunch. That's coming to a complete stop. We eat out for dinner a good bit too. Probably 3-4 times a week depending on what is going on. That's going to go down to once a week. That will save us a ton of money too! </div>

I'd also like to mark more things off of my <a href="http://thecarolinacountrygirl.blogspot.com/p/thirty-before-30.html">30 before 30 list</a>! I think I have done pretty good so far. I only have 10 left! There are some on this list that won't be possible by July. I'll just move it over to a 40 list! ha!</div>

I can knock two birds with one stone if Mom and I go on a trip together and get tattoos. We've said for years that when she turns 50 and I turn 30 that we'd get a mother/daughter tattoo of some sort. I am actually really excited about this. I have no clue what we are going to get but my Mom wants to incorporate an infinity symbol. We shall see. Y'all know I will post all about it!</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's that time, time for joy and time for cheer! It's time for all of us to take a break and spend time with family and friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's time for us to remember the reason for the season. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year I've taken extra time for Zane to realize the real story behind Christmas. At this age he can finally start to understand. He's noticed the manger scenes and recalled the stories and the scriptures that I've read him. At 5 years old, I'm proud. He knows about the story of baby Jesus and will share it with anyone he meets.</div>

It's time to fill our bellies full of junk! I'm guilty. Junk food is a weakness of mine. Chocolate is ...well it's chocolate and no one can resist! Keep in mind that at the first of the new year you will want to take off some pounds and eating all this junk first is only going to make it harder later. Just keep that in mind. I'm gonna try, but I can't make any promises.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We wish you all lots of joy and happiness through the Christmas Holidays. Remember to be nice to those you really want to growl at. Grin and bear it for one day a year! You never know when it be the last time you see them. Hugs and 'I love you' will go a LONG way! </div>

<strong>Y'all</strong>. Today I am going to participate in a link-up! Whuuuuttt??? I haven't done a link-up in God knows when! This one is with Big Holly and Jake! It's Finish the Sentence... Christmas Edition! Here we go...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. My favorite Christmas was.... the one where Zane got a swing set from Santa. He was three. We had to convince him to go outside to look and he was not having it! He wanted to stay where it was warm!</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo 1223111555a.jpg" data-link="src{:fullsizeUrl} width{:rsWidth} height{:rsHeight}" height="640" id="fullsizeMedia" src="http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w318/annabelle_4806/2012/1223111555a.jpg" width="480" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
2. The worst Christmas I had... was when my Grandpa got so drunk that all he wanted to do was jam out to 'The Man in Black" as loud as he could. He has just got his own CD player and that CD from my aunt as a gift. Mind you there are 30 people in a 1200 square foot house. Totally cramped! Anyway, We were trying to play the 'dirty Santa/ Chinese Christmas game'. My grandpa's music was so loud that no one could hear what number we were on. So I finally spoke up and said that he needed to turn it down or go in the other room. That flew ALL over him! We ended up in a cuss fight and I left. My husband ended up saying a few choice words as we walked out. It was NOT pretty! </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
3. That one gift that made me scratch my head and say, "Hmmmm" was... dear foam slippers from a relative that I'd rather not speak of. He's supposed to be an uncle. He's also a creep! Why in hell he bought me bedroom slippers, I will never know. I really don't want to know! Come to think of it, my grandma probably got it for him to give me. Thanks but no thanks!<img class="irc_mut" height="331" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTONRt4g7sOpB859AVpcorAawNzmGvwntM7Y6lIHWn3bFWdv_gXBg" style="margin-top: 120px;" width="363" /><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
4. One year I.... snuck into my parents bedroom and found all my brother's and I Christmas gifts unwrapped in a huge layaway box! I was really hoping for a brown leather jacket that year and I cried because I saw it in that box! On Christmas morning I wasn't as excited because I already knew it was going to be mine! Then I confessed to my mom that I had found it. She got better at hiding things after that! Ha!</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
5. I think the worst gift to give is.... a damn Chia Pet. Seriously those are a joke!</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
6. At Christmastime I typically.... do a lot of baking with my mom, bitching about POS family members that can't get their act together, bitching about stuff not going my way, singing carols, & trying my hardest to be nice to the ones I only see a few times a year that I really don't get along with!</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">
</div>
