Okay I don't know where to start! I have to thank Tina for a great day yesterday at the Phillies game! Driving next to Mike Lieberthal is something everyone definetly has to try! Can't wait until the next one girl - love ya!

Today on the other hand was rather hectic. Unfortunately my grandpop had to go to the hospital this morning, where they told us he had develoiped pnemonia. He is still in the hospital at Kennedy - Stratford. Hopefully he'll be home soon and back to "Pop". (Prayers please!!)

Lisa and Nooch - we really have to start copywriting our stuff!!

I've been up since quarter to 5 so this I'm sorry to cut this short but I'm beyond exhausted! Of course remember the list, everyone on the left, Coop and Hanny staffs, family, friends and ya know - anyone who needs prayers!

Take care and God Bless!

Also!! I have some news for a "Relay for Life" Day, Satuday - June 4th. I am actually speaking that day, so for anyone who is interested let me know and I'll tell you about it. It's a day of fun to basically celebrate life. It's in Haddonfield and I'm a captain so donations and interests - let me know!!! heavenly129@aol.com It's sponsored by the American Cancer Society, so it's a big deal. Every little bit gets closer to a cure!

** I've added a new link about a woman named Kim who is currently battling leukemia and a little boy named Ryan who is bravely fighting neuroblastoma. Check them out, they're remarkable people. Thanks! **

Hey hey! Feeling good and can't wait to get myself outside today! This weekend went by extremely quickly! Friday night - myself, Lisa and Nicole sat around making chocolate trays for what Lisa thought was Joey's surprise party! little did she know - SATURDAY WAS HER OWN SURPRISE PARTY! For about 3 months straight now I have been lieing to one of my best friends ... insane! Well it was a great party! Lisa had absolutely no idea, and the look on her face was hilarious. As I'll say again, me and Nicole deserve Emmy's for our performances Friday night. As well as everyone else! Well it was overall a great night and I'm pretty sure Lisa had an awesome time - she may talk about it for years to come.

Yesterday me and the fam went to Michael's game at Campbell's Field, and it was absolutely gorgeous outside. The kids had a ball and it was nice to just hang out and spend time together. (Yelling at the horrible ump!) Paul & Alex had me laughing so hard that I had tears. Go Rowan!

-;- Keep your head up Kait ... You got this sweety! Summer's waiting for you! -;-

Of course - prayers for the list - the Chemosabees! Kait, Randy, Shelby & the Ruark & Richter families ... the McShane, Potito, Schultz families ... my family, my friends, (and hey why not?!) myself ... and everyone who needs a prayer ...

I'm gonna go shopping with Grec I think and then hit the gymmy gym ... xOxO

OO YEAH! And if you get a chance, and your on www.christithomas.com ... check out the links of the other children that are dealing with what she's dealing with .. These little kid's stories are incredible ... Ryan Connelly really got to me, as did all of the others ... Just something to think about ... Thanks

I'm an unsolved mystery!!

Oh My Gosh! I'm so sorry it has been so long since my last entry! For some reason, for a couple of days I couldn't get into the journal to add an entry. Weird AOL. I seriously have so much to write, this will be some entry!

Last Thursday was like one of the best nights ever!!! Kait, myself, Coop Nurse Lari and her sister Michele "Buffy", went out for a night on the A.C. town. When we got to Lari's sisters, Kait and I were sooooo shocked to find a limo waiting in the driveway. Like how much better could that have gotten?! FIRST they took us to go see Charlene, Shelby's Mom and Haley, Shelby's baby sister. It was sooo nice to see them and really meant a lot to me. The house was gorgeous, especially with the pictures of Shelby, Justin, and Haley flowing everywhere. www.weloveshelby.com *Always in our hearts!!* After that Lari and Michele took us to Jonathon's to eat, when all we really did was laugh! Food was great! Then we hit the Quarter's, which I have never been to any place like that - and I was stunned. We got to sing karaoke, drink water in a really cool bottle, and just have a lot fun. It was so nice to spend time with them outside of Club Coop, and we got to bond, which really was great. You guys will never know how much that all meant to me. And I'm sure I'm not speaking for myself. Thanks, & Love ya!!! (Maybe next time we can all wear our cancer sucks memorabilia!)

Last weekend was really nice, I went to Lisa's little cousin Jessica's play "Annie", which was absolutely adorable. Me, Tina and Lisa were probably the loudest group there, oOO ya that's the Philly in us. Tee - it was fun whispering all of the words with you!!! Then ON Saturday I was inducted in to the Pantie Brigade, which was probably one of the most funniest nights I've ever experienced. Since our sorority is pretty secretive, I can't give out too many details, all I can say is when you place panties on your head, all hell breaks loose!! Jennie, Erin, Shannon, Stacey, Ami, Maureen and even Hook! Thanks for a great night! And Spanglish - never again. Though I can't say the same for "Moon Over My Hammy"! haha Shan, we just wanted to say it!! ... "Would you like something to eat ?? ... Nah we're just in Denny's to look at the menu!" !! haha Love yas!!

Muah to Lisa and Nicole - love shopping with you guys!! The malls in South Jersey will never be the same again, since we now know where they are!!! ...

All of this week has been fun as well. Catching up on all of my television shows, spending quality time with Grandpop, and just being "me". (Which I forgot how to do for a while there.) To the family and TRUE friends - thanks and love - always!

I have alot of Congrats and Prayers I would like to add so just be patient!
hmmm Congrats to cousin Mike for his awards, record breaking, and butt kicking for Rowan baseball! SOOOO Congrats to Randy for being placed in Remission! (All those prayers and battles paid off! I'm so happy for ya ... Of course the list like always - family, friends, Kait, Randy, Shelby, (All of their family and friends) ... the McShane, Potito & Schultz families. ANYONE who needs a prayer!!

- I have a special intention for Kait - this week (Tuesday) Kait went back into the hospital - which as all of you can guess is anything but easy. Althought from what I know she has been sleeping for about 72 hours in a row!! Prayers and good thoughts never go out of style. This is a time when too muchis never enough. Kait's shooting for 27 days in the "SLAMMER", however I'm shooting for 26! All of the details for her bone marrow transplant are posted on the site. Kait - you said you hope you can be the same for me - You've been more! Love You! www.babyoney.com

Happy Mother's Day to all of the MaMa's, since I feel I have about 79!!!

God Bless and Take care!!

What will she do next ???

Wed, 27 Apr 2005 05:32:49 GMT

Well tonight was very very fun! Enjoying a nice night of American Idol in Clayton with the Pheasant Circle Crew was extremely comedic. Between Aunt Joanne drooling over Gerard, and Tina reenacting William Hung's "She Bangs" performance, I don't know which was funnier?! Thanks ladies for a lovely night.

Unfortunately my car door did not get fixed like I thought it was going to, but it's okay my friends can keep climbing in the window and buttering themselves to get out. (Chuck and those other guys didn't care did they?! lol) They don't mind! haha Lisa may actually buy me a new car she hates it so much! And hey Lee, thanks for listening to me about "Soupy"!! Your the best! Unfortunately I still seem to be infactuated, I'll let ya know when I'm not!!! xO

This week is going to be a really great week! Tomorrow I'm going to get ready for Saturday, the day in which the Panny Brigade Initiation begins. So A.C. Moore is a must tomorrow - for favors of course!! Can't wait girlies!! Jennie and friends - I can't wait to see you guys ... And Thursday I am going to see my favorite (& only!!) cancer sister Kait "The Invincible", and spend time with one of the best nurses EVER Lari and her sister. Three of the greatest people I have ever come across in my life. So Atlantic City, here we come!! Kait your in my prayers girl! and remember, I'm always here, now that I have a good phone! haha (Don't forget to leave Kait some words of encouragement @ ... www.babyoney.com !!) I cannot wait to give out my presents! Hope they like them! Only something little but very funny! Friday night I'm going to see "Annie" starring Lisa's little cousin and Nae's sister Jessica. Me, Tina & Lisa can't wait to sing "Tomorrow" ... and pretend we're the stars of the play!! So yeah I have a really great couple of days coming up and I can't wait to see everyone.

-;- And Randy, your email had our names written all over it. When I read your entry, I was like was he actually inside of my head or did he just look into it???? Thanks for the article, he helped me realize I am normal!! And not insane! Thanks ChemoSabee!!!

Once again, thanks to everyone! And I mean everyone, for everything. Remember all families and their friends, Anzelone, Clark, McShane, Ruark, Richter, Potito, Schultz, (MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS) and of course, everyone who just needs little nice thoughts sent their way. Nothing bad about that, right?? Especially the family of that fifteen yr old girl from Philly ...

I wanted to tell everyone about a new girl I started talking to through www.choosehope.com , a website in which people who have battled or been touched by cancer in some way, can talk, share and give advice, and just in general talk to those who have in common something they should not. Brittany is 17 and from Georgia, and is currently going through the "Getting Better" process after being diagnosed with Lymphoma last year. I had a really great picture of her but my LapSlowTap is being crazy so I'll definetly put it on here soon. SORRY! Once I get more certain information from her, I'll be sure to put it on here. Lime Green is her color, like orange is mine ... just to let everyone know ... : )

By the way I added to sites to my links on the side of the journal. If you get a chance, check out www.ChristiThomas.com ... I haven't been able to read the entire thing but what I have read about her so far has been breathtaking. Just be prepared, that's all I ask. This little 8 year old is very much worth the time. She actually reminded me a lot of Shelby ... Amazing little angels ...

Take Care!!!

Thinking ....

Mon, 25 Apr 2005 02:40:46 GMT

Okay well I haven't written in a little while. And I was just sitting here, thinking about a whole bunch of stuff all at once, which is SO not good to do, I thought I'd give a quick hello. Things are great here at home, very thankful that life seems to be hitting a normalcy once again.

I'm literally here, sitting in my bed, thinking about everything that has happened to me in the past year and a half. Some of which has still not really hit me yet. But I kind of just needed to write it down. And don't get me wrong, this isn't a complaint entry, this is more of a frustration entry. Of why certain people go through what they do. Of why some have, and some do not. Of why some smile and some cry. I really am at a point where I'm ready to make a difference with this whole cancer situation. I was just reading the website of Shelby Richter, www.weloveshelby.com , and I am so taken back by her, her family, and her friends - and how they've changed so many lives and have no idea. I cannot say enough how much everyone in my life means to me. Not that they didn't before, but now knowing them and having them takes on much more meaning. And especially those who have been there. You'd be surprised on how those who you would think would be around, are not. And those who shock you by being there. To those of you - I love and thank you. My doctors and nurses, and everyone who has helped me medically through all of this, has astonished me with their wisdom to allow me to survive. And of course not only to grow to be healthy, but to grow mentally as a much more deeper person. The staff at Cooper Hospital has provided me with the ability to see things in such a different light, and I thank and love them so much for that!!! To those who I have come to know through all of this ... Kait, Randy, Shelby's family, the other patient's at Cooper and their families, and everyone I've met through the internet who has gone through similiar situations ... THANK YOU!!! You have all taught me and inspired me some way or another, and I cannot say enough what you all mean to me.

Sorry for such a deep entry, I'm like emotional Jess tonight or something?! I just felt that I needed to write some meaningful words, because I haven't in a while. Well thanks for listening!! and listening to my YADA YADA YADA's. My prayers are with everyone and I hope all is well!!!

I'm still working on the better site, don't worry it'll make it's way soon. Take care .. xO

Great weekend!!

Mon, 18 Apr 2005 02:37:06 GMT

This weekend was such a great weekend! I really can't say much more than that! I got to see so many people I haven't seen in sooooo long! I'm still smiling! Abilene's what a night - Lisa, Nicole and friends ... Thanks!!!

Kait's Beef & Beer was the best! The turnout really reflected the kind of person that Kait is. It was so nice to see a community come together like that. I was lucky enough to be there, and even more lucky to meet some of the guests that got to attend. I finally got to hang out with my Cancer Brother Randy Clark!! Sporting a "Cancer Sucks" tee, Randy really had a presence around him. Randy - your an inspiration! I also got to meet Shelby Richter's mom Charlene, and stepdad Rodney, who are two of the sweetest people on the face of the earth. God Bless them, their families and friends. It takes a lot of strength to go through what they have all been through. As well as great family and friends to hold you up. Big thanks to everyone who supported Kait and attended Michael's. It was just one of those nights that really made ya happy to know the people you know!

To Kait, her family and friends ... Randy and family, Shelby and her family, and everyone who has ever been affected by a hard time ... You continue to inspire me everyday!

The usual prayers of course, my family and friends, and just everyone who needs some loveeeeeee send their way ... Take Care !!

P.S. I'm still working on the site ... once that's up this one will be done! I promise it will be much better!!
