Thursday

Tomorrow my cousin, Candace, has her cancer operation @ VGH. She has cervical cancer; it is still undetermined if she has lymph node involvement. If the frozen section determines this, she will have radiation. However, if there is not, she will have a radical hysterectomy. You are in my thoughts and prayers little cousin. xoxo Stay strong . . . you'll be fine.

Today I just developed what feels like a head cold - headache, sniffles, sore ears. I will watch who gets booted off of So You Think You Can Dance and then hit the hay.

Hang in there Lisa, I am sure a head cold is NOT what you needed right now! I think I should make some scarves for you. I will go look this weekend for some material. What is your favorite color?

Did you know I will be having a "Princess" show up at my big birthday bash! And her dad is paying for my whole party!!!! I am such a lucky duck!!!

I will get back to you about the head wear!!! I see a catwalk show happening!!!
love Sarah

Hey,
It's the cartwheel specialist! I am so happy the fam is throwing such a great party for you!

Yes, the head cold is a pain but it is a chemo thing . . . and so are my sore fingernails. :( NOTHING is near the pain of my worst day ever and so whatever I say . . . it's all easy.

I didn't know you could throw a needle :) I was out and bought a scrarf at VV of all places. The problem with wearing the scarf is that there is a fine line between
"Hey I am doing chemo" and "Hey, I'm doing chemo and I am healthy". Yes - color matters. I am not sure just yet what will bring out my eyes heehee. I am certain - flower prints, animal prints, and kids flannel - OUT. :)

Again, I am so happy about the party. Gee, how long did it take for the Gilbert clan to figure out how special this birthday is for you?

Hey - do you think Robby G can do a "Bald is the new black" photo shoot for me? Being such a specials lady AND being the BIT's president ... see what you can do.

I just got back from the fabric store and I DO agree on the flower print and animal print. Let me work my magic with my needle on what I have right now and then I will model them for you and send you pictures.

I do beleive it could be: "I am bringing head wear back" by Justin Timberlake soon to be released.

Sarah

PS: I know what you mean on "how long did it take my family to realize how special turning 25 would be." Gee about time hey!!!

Hey
Let's get into the head gear biz. If you look for chemo wraps out there - OLD lady flower prints. You know a good style Bev has the pattern for is the new funky doctor surgical hats. We're all over it sister!

you also loose your nose hairs which makes your nose run.

I do have the nose run and a hairy nose. I think I am too much of a hairy beast to lose my hair. Good God. I'm cursed.
