Thanks for everything

Yeah, so, I’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year.
Sure, I got cancer, but I also moved in with my mighty, mighty good man and got engaged.
Here are a few other things I’m thankful for …

Laughing in cancer’s face

Yeah, so, I laughed a lot during my fight with breast cancer. A lot.
I have always been the type of person who thinks nothing is above a joke. Everything is fair game. I usually try to find the humor in any situation. Also, I am very prone to inappropriate laughter. I think I inherited some [...]

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Cancer …

Yeah, so, preliminary reports says I’m cancer free!
The Good Doctor did a sentinel node biopsy during the mastectomy, and it came back negative, which means the cancer has not spread. In other words, suck it, cancer! Of course, this is a preliminary report, and a more thorough official test is being done now, but the [...]

Super happy fun birthday/engagement weekend

Yeah, so, it’s been a busy, wonderful birthday week.
It started off on Thursday night with the best damn dinner ever at Waterbar with the best damn man ever. The restaurant has an amazing view of the Bay Bridge. I know everyone loves the Golden Gate Bridge, but I’ve got hella love for the Bay Bridge. [...]

RIP: Dr. Arthur Garry

Yeah, so, the same day I went into surgery for my lumpectomy, Dr. Arthur Garry died.
Dr. Arthur Garry was a great man. He worked as a surgeon in a M*A*S*H unit in the Vietnam war and served as the Chief of Staff and Chief of Surgery at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek.
But to [...]

A funny thing happened on the way to the operating room

Yeah, so, I am home.
The surgery was delayed for several hours, but it finally happened around 2:30 p.m. It took about 90 minutes, then I spent an hour in recovery then they moved me where I could see David, Michelle and my mom and dad. It wasn’t long after that the nurses told me I [...]

Happy Sonia Weekend continues …

Yeah, so, Happy Sonia Weekend continues with a big Giants win against the San Diego Padres …

After the game, David, Kate and I walked to the Metreon to see “The Hangover.” Damn funny movie! I can see why it has earned so much money.
Now, we have ordered Indian food delivery, and we are watching “The [...]

Get confident, stupid

Yeah, so, David and I are hosting our first party in our new place this weekend, and all week I’ve been kinda anxious about it.
It’s a big group, which is great! It’s nice to know we have so many people that care about us. Still, I’ve been worrying about having enough food and booze; wanting [...]

UpTake Review: Bistro Boudin

Yeah, so, David and I took Lorelei out for some tasty clam chowder during her visit and, of course, I wrote a review about it.

Click here for my UpTake review of Bistro Boudin.

Rocket Boat!

Yeah, so, Lorelei has always wanted to go on the Rocket Boat. Dream achieved.

By the way, guess who got soaked on this trip?

Yep, it was me.
