Welcome to my life...





Hello, kind reader, and thanks for coming! You are probably reading this because you fall into one of the following categories:

1. My family
2. My near and dear friends
3. You accidentally typed in the wrong URL

But if, by chance you are not a part of one of those categories I hope you will still take a minute to read some of my posts. What I'm all about is cancer, particularly adolescent cancer. I had it, I owned it, I beat it, and here I am today. I am now getting my doctorate doing research with adolescent cancer patients and survivors. I came out okay on the other end of something awful, and now I want to make a difference by helping others. The way I see it, it's all about support--helping each other, seeing that someone has been there and made it. When I was 16 I felt completely alone, and I don't want others to feel that way. My idea is that maybe we can help each other by talking and sharing our stories. So here are some of mine...

Care to procrastinate?

So I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to go with my family to take little sister to the airport for her big Ireland send off. It was good, I was/am jealous, pretty typical. Then I came home to take a little nappy before really getting into the groove of the day. Well, the nap ended up taking longer than expected (yes, let's blame the nap; it's the nap's fault, not mine) so I got kind of a late start on the real day.

But now here I am. Laptop a-going, piles of work around me... And then I killed about thirty minutes checking email, making a sandwich, seeing what this new facebook is about... And here I am. Still with the books and such, but no progress seems to be getting made. So here is where you come in. I am writing under the guise of having a loyal, devoted public that I must attend to (talk about delusions of grandeur); however, we all know that since I have nothing very important to tell you that I am simply trying to force away the unforgiving and accusing stares of the pile of textbooks next to me with a distraction. Aren't you lucky to be that distraction?



The answer is yes.

Okay, well the guilt is killing me, so I will attempt to do some productive work now. In the meantime, I will leave you with this thought: I could use a big overstuffed chair for my study cave.
