Sunday, January 1, 2012! Happy New Year!

I know I have only 1 (one) treatment left...tomorrow....but I feel so good! Yesterday and today...I have so much energy! I cooked yesterday for our 'annual' NYE get together with our neighbors. I made a lot of small things....lentil soup, pigs in a blanket, potatoes stuffed with broccoli and cheese, turkey meatballs, garlic bread to dip in the sauce, and fruit trifle (I tried making corn bread mix to put on some cocktail franks and fry them...but it didn't work out!). Everyone brought food and we had lots of leftovers. mostly desserts!

We had the west coast feed on TV instead of the east coast New Years Eve celebration in Times Square - so they didn't have the countdown nor did we see the ball drop! We didn't realize it was midnight until Paul looked at his phone - about 1 minute later....Every year by the time I finish putting things away, throwing some stuff away and just cleaning up - it's usually close to 3 am....the west coast time of THEIR New Year....so I finished about 2:30 and then put the channel to the west coast time....on the bottom of the screen - it says 'live from times square' and has the NY time, which was 11:58...the last time I saw that number on the screen....the next thing I realized....I fell asleep! for 4 minutes!!! I missed the countdown and the ball drop - TWICE!!! Oh well, off to bed I went.

Anyway, I feel fine today and am cooking a ham and baked potatoes right now for our dinner. We will have some lentil soup and the ham, potatoes and a vegetable that I will find and cook in the microwave...hopefully we'll eat about 5 pm.

Samantha had some friends over last night and Paul stayed home too. Nicholas was with his friends.

This weather has been so beautiful! Even though, Samantha can't wait to get back down to S.C. to their 70 degree weather....I keep telling her it's 72 degrees here...inside the house! she just doesn't get my sense of humor....

I'll be posting tomorrow after my treatment. I'm sure I will have to make a date for a scan to see what's inside me (praying = nothing!)....all this is getting so old! Then I will feel like 'crap' the end of the week and that's it!!! Hopefully forever!!! no more chemo!!!

What a perfect Christmas wish -----
