Regrets

It has been a month and a half since the last time I wrote something in my blog. I am getting really lazy and enjoying it. I had a toxic reaction to the chemo that was given to me, so my feet were swollen for about 2 months. It was really bad but they are back to normal now. They gave me steroids twice a day until they went down. Now, my feet feel and look like I am 100 years old! They discontinued one of the chemo medicines and just had chemo last Thursday and to my amazement, I feel good for the first time in a long time. So, hopefully this chemo will work and my feet will stay normal.
I have been having, however, lots of regrets lately... Mainly, I regret quitting my job! I loved what I did at the agency and I miss every minute of it. I still go an volunteer my time once in a while but honestly, it is a little weird being there and not being in control like before. A lot of people tell me to just enjoy my time off but I have been working since I am 15 so, it is a little hard to get used to not doing anything. I am enjoying Oprah's last season and the Ellen Degeneres show!!! I also enrolled in a Quilting class, still at school once a week, cake classes, and helping out at Tony school! So, as you can see, I am bored! In a little I will need a vacation of being on vacation!

  1. Wow, not doing anything?!! You crazy girl! All of your activities add up to a full time job. After counting time spent at each, homework, prep time for your cake classes & volunteering at Tony's school you ARE in a full time job. Take it all in girlfriend, and enjoy the life of doing whatever the hell you want!
    I also like the Ellen & Oprah show! Oprah is always on a season pass with my Tivo!

  3. Oh, Lisa, wish I knew the words that would bring encouragement to you but I am not good at words. When I met you, I knew automatically that you were a kind person. I also knew that you would be a blast to hang out with. If only we had met one day earlier.....we would've definitely seen the Chippendales together!!! And, I am sure that we would've BOTH danced with that Chippendale. It was such a pleasure to meet you! You are a person that makes one feel at ease and makes it easy to befriend!

  4. Lisa, I was sorry I missed my opportunity to ride with you to Kansas City for the seminar. I decided to drive by myself. It is horrible for one to be so shy but I would rather wrap myself in a blanket than talk for a 4 hour ride. Now, after meeting you and enjoying the short lunch we had, I really regret not getting to know you better but I want you to know that you did inspire me and I am working with a church to let them handle all of the extra cakes I need to make for my class. I cannot bear thinking of wasting all of that beautiful fondant to demonstrate covering a cake. And on a dummy? No way! Thanks for you ideas. I still have your card. I am glad you shared with me how to give someone a little piece of "sweet" if only in a cake. Keep in touch, Mona
