Happy New Year's Eve

I'm looking forward to 2009! This year has been such a roller coaster ride that I have spent most of it trying to catch my breath! There have been such moments of excitement and happiness mixed with moments of shock and deep sadness that it cannot be known as an all around good or bad year. Just crazy!

It looks like my right eyebrow is starting to go on the outer edge. I signed up for the Look Good, Feel Better program by the American Cancer Society. It's lead by a cosmetologist that will help put on makeup and wigs. I heard that sometimes since the women are usually older, the young ones will get extra attention from the older ladies. So I'm bracing myself for that, but the good news is that you get a lot of free makeup from some nice companies that donate.

Mom is finally feeling better from the stomach virus and the back pain that followed. She was able to eat the jap chae she made for Christmas. I made some spinach dip with chestnuts for the countdown tonight. We're having Paula Dean's spiral cut ham with a crunchy honey crust tomorrow. One of my co-workers mentioned that pork and saurkraut were good luck for the new year. I don't know about the good luck, but pork and saurkraut sounded good to me so Mom made some yesterday. I may as well eat while I have the appetite! Next Wed. is chemo round #5.
