Really, someone else could blog so mine isn't just sitting there at the top of the page forever, it's making me uncomfortable. I know, you are all too busy out on the boat or figuring out new ways to torture me (Anne, I will get you back someday. You can Bet On It, Bet On It, Bet On It...) Really it is just too FABULUS to have HM2 playing in my house any time my child can get it in the DVD player. You know, like when we have to leave for church in five minutes, all the girls need their shoes on, I'm brushing my teeth, and all of the sudden I'm hearing "Summer, summer, summer, summer." She's lucky she is such a good kid.
Okay, to address the whole skin cancer issue. I have a very shallow melanoma and it will be removed sometime in the next two weeks. I am not going for the Sigourney Weaver, Alien look alike contest anytime soon (even though I would win, minus a good 60 lbs or so). It is an inconvenience more than anything else (except occasionally at 2 am when I wake up and worry for 30 seconds and then go back to sleep). I know you were all very distressed, I could tell by the amount of comments on the blog that Barb transferred over and so I just wanted to put all your fears to rest.
Hope you all had a great weekend. love, Brooke
Thanks, Brooke. I am glad you caught it early. You would be amazed at what comes in my door at work sometimes. My first thought of these patients is, "what were you thinking"? "How can you go around with that golf ball on the side of your cheek before doing something about it"? "And, how long has that been there"? "Hmmm, about 3 years" ahhhhhhhhh.
Thanks for gettin' ur done.
Some day we'll go over my "Pier Leaving" experience. If you want to be filled in on that "life before your eyes" event, ask Barb, Dave, Adina, Isaac, Taylor (although he was probably doing something more involved with discovering the surroundings), Parker or Morgan (although they were probably playing tag in the front of the boat unaware that their lives were at risk), or any of the people on the pier or on the boat behind me.
I tried to explain that it was just part of a well-planned family outing but they wouldn't buy it.
I invite any other member of the blog who was there to enlighten the crowd from their perspective.....biased, of course, as to how it all transpired. Kenn
