Viva La TaTa!

Tomorrow is the big day - the Bye Bye Bewbie Day - the day I become less of a person than I am today! I am so cool with this whole thing - I don't think people really believe me! This part will have it's emotion, no doubt; but the hardest part is OVER, so tomorrow will be a breeze in comparison. My sweet mom is coming to help man the fort while I'm out - and hopefully I won't be in the hospital more than one night. Recovery will be the tough part - there's that whole "not doing" thing. But this (like the rest of this) is temporary, so I'll look the other way when the dishes are loaded all wonky or there's still dirt on the floor. Because I'll be back to doing it the right way my way soon enough. ;) I would appreciate your prayers for a speedy recovery and that no weird things will happen. I know it's all gonna be just fine.

I was thinking the other day how fitting it is that I'm finishing up with all of this in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I have always liked the color pink, and I'm certainly a fan of breast cancer awareness. But this year, it's different. Every time I see a pink ribbon, pink car tag, pink bracelet, pink hair extension, pink bagel, pink t-shirt - every single time, I want to walk up to the person, take their face in my hand, and say, "THANK YOU - do you know that pink is for ME?" Obviously not just for me, but many, many others - but still - now, it's so personal. So if you're wearing pink, consider yourself hugged. For me. And those who have gone before me. THANK YOU - from the bottom of our pink hearts!
