Part 2: my brain tumor

My then husband had a meeting that Friday morning and called his mom to take me to see the Dr. We couldn't get into a normal appointment so I had to go to a group appointment. It was so strange sitting in that room with all the chairs in the round. My head was throbbing and all I can remember is this guy who was a year older then me in High School was 3 chairs over. I listened to wives describing their husbands high blood pressure and men complaining about their backs. I just wanted to leave, I wanted to run out Of the room and disappear forever. My turn came and I don't even know what I said. I was already outside myself looking down. I was sent to the Hospital for CAT.

Surviving a Brain Tumor: Part I

There have been many moments in my life that have made an impact on me, but non as much as being diagnosed with a Brain Tumor. I remember that day a little over 9 years ago as if was yesterday, right down to the Ralph Lauren sweat outfit I was wearing. (I threw those sweats away).

It was Oct 16, 2003 Exactly 4 weeks after giving birth to my third daughter! I was in and out of the Dr's office with headaches and dizziness, we chalked it up to an Epidural and Lack of sleep. This morning was different, I woke up and I knew I was going to die. It's very odd to actually feel your body giving away. It's not at all scary. It's almost like you are on the outside looking down on yourself . Then my life began to move so rapidly over the next two hours !

Inspiration in black and brown

Black and brown is a color combination that is sadly overlooked. It can be a bit gritty and somber. It's a very interesting and dramatic statement. The color combination evokes feelings of rain, late night old movies and alone in my thoughts.

I love The Drug Store

I love the Drug Store. I think the local drug store gets a bad rap by people who feel that fancy packaging and a glass counter top means better quality. Remember you are paying more for packaging, advertising and store placement. The Drug store allows you to try new products and not soak you dry. Here are some of my favorite Drug Store product:
