Text Message....

I just got a text from my godbrother who recently lost his grandmother to breast cancer, and I wanted to share it with yall. Josh said "Not sure if you meant it but in your stuff about lung cancer being forgotten in the last few days, you come off as very... I dont know the best way to put it but the most polite is probably desensitized to breast cancer. I get what you are trying to get across but other might not. It seems very close to, "Forget breast cancer. Thats not even the worst one." Just thought I would let you know so you dont allienate a potential proponent for awareness because they get turned off." I hope you guys dont feel that way. Here's my response, "I'm sorry if it comes across that way and anyone who knows me that I support all types of cancer! I work in cancer care and give every breathing second to cancer in some way. You know I actually admire what the breast cancer movement has done over the past 40 years by increasing survival ...

To Whom it may Concern....

To whom it may concern: I feel funny writing that… because it seems as though almost no one is actually really and truthfully concerned with Lung Cancer besides people who are diagnosed, family members, caregivers, a small group of advocates, and the doctors and nurses who actually treat lung cancer on a daily basis. Sad right? In my book yes! See the truth is….Lung Cancer kills more people than breast, prostate, colon, pancreatic, and liver cancers COMBINED… Yet, it is the least funded of all of all major cancer. This is unacceptable and I will not let it hold me down anymore. Lung Cancer is the number 1 cancer killer of men and women in this nation. Believe it or not it’s not breast for women… and it’s not prostate for men.

That’s amazing and shows how much progress they have made in science for breast cancer resea...

NEW Den Furniture!

Robert and I have been together as a couple 9 years. Hard to believe. Married 3. In those nine years we have lived in a duplex, bought our first home in 2011 and then recently purchased a larger home in 2015 in our dream neighborhood. Through all of those years we have pieced furniture together, hand-me-downs from friends and family, thrift stores, yard sales ect. There have been a few staple pieces we've splurged on (especially our mattress, i'm embarrassed by how much money we spent on that thing), but mainly we haven't bought anything new. When we moved into our new house we went from a 1200 sqft home to an almost 3000 sqft home. To say we needed more furniture was an understatement. Rooms were bare but I told Robert to be patient and that over time we would add additional things and that it would all come together. At times furniture didn't match, there was no theme or style of the rooms and they looked down right horrible, but I refuse to go in debt over fur...
