Yeah Yeah Quityerbitchin'

My friend Janet is having her brain tumor out today! Thankfully it is not malignant or anything, just a big "gangliotta" Discovery channel like mass that has leeched itself onto her medulla oblongta at the base of her skull. It has most recently affected her speech and at one point she had lost her voice - not so easy for a Type A Italian! But she has done her research and met with her very awesome doctors and is going into this surgery a very well informed patient. We had lunch a couple of weeks ago and we made sure she would have warm pants and socks while she's in the hospital and while she will feel crappy for a couple days, she will be able to access email from her bed! I love Boston!!

Good luck, Janet, we are thinking about you, and there will be a celebration after you are released, most especially because they won't ruin your hair.

Oblivious Me

So I'm outside with the kid the other drawing on the walkway with chalk and my high school friend, who lives literally around the corner from me, came walking around with a double stroller. Double, you say? Since she only has one kid who is two and a half. Oh yes, cause she popped out another one since the last time I saw her! and he's 7 months old! So that makes me a shitty friend, right? I was so shocked I said "that's not yours, right?" (as I pointed into his little face). And she was all, "yup - surprise!"



Hey she seems to be handling it very well so all the power to her. Since she had to go through the whole in vitro thing with the first once, this boy is a very pleasant surprise. And cute.



We vowed to get together a little more often.
