Today my family got a little larger and certainly a lot happier as Camryn Isabel was born to my niece Sarah and her boyfriend Jacob. Cammy (as I like to call her) is their second child and younger sister of Logan. Without further ado, here she is:

For Amanda....
As you requested, my dear! This is pretty crappy of NMC....I get sick of large corporations trying to bully people. I'm sure if this guys name happened to be Jefferson, he would have started Jefferson Computers. So stupid.

Not soon enough...
This weekend was spent doing an inordinate amount of homework. Well, ok, that's not exactly true, the amount wasn't bad - its my insane desire to graduate no less than Magna Cum Laude. I have already blown the chance to graduate Summa - which has been stuck in my craw for the last few days. Damn those two B's....
Two more weeks to go - though I'm not feeling all that excited and I think its because there's no break in between the BA and the MBA program. Or maybe it will feel more real when I've got that diploma in hand or something...I don't know...
Right now it all just feels like work...and lots of it...i'm tired! LOL.
Anyway, Karen comes home tomorrow and I'm excited to see her and hear more about the trip. I hope I get to see her after work tomorrow. Their flight leaves at around midnight tonight and arrives at 5am tomorrow morning.

Riley Elizabeth
I recently became an aunt again! And I want to take this opportunity to welcome Riley Elizabeth into our family - and the world! She was born on May 3rd at 8:30 in the morning. She was just over 6 pounds and apparently very feisty. Due to a variety of issues, I have yet to meet my little angel. She only got home this past weekend and I didn't want to disrupt their first few days all together as a family. I can't even express how thrilled I am to have a new niece (again). The other two went and grew up on me..the nerve...
BTW - the pic is actually one I took of Milo, T's baby, shortly after his birth TWO years ago...my, my..where does the time go?

Times like these....
In times of crisis it's so true that your real friends are the ones who rally around you. This has been an interesting experience for me. When people call me a friend or I consider them a "friend" there are things that are implied - certain expectations that are simply understood.
My life has been in a state of crisis for the past few months. Between the chemotherapy, my illnesses, my mothers illness, going back to school, a full time job, and the day to day things that make life, well, the struggle that it often is....my life is just that, a struggle (though I remain optimistic). So, it is during these times that the true meaning of love and friendship are put to the test. And the majority of the people that have been in my life as of late, have sadly failed this test miserably. I believe that some part of me chooses people who are like my father - someone who also failed this test repeatedly. When the going get tough, the weak bail. I don't believe this is coincidental. I just have to unlearn this pattern and be more selective.
I owe my real friends a big thank you! Your true colors have shown through and your support and love and encouragement are appreciated! I love you all and you know who you are. You are the ones that have called me almost daily and emailed me even when I was unable to respond. You are the ones who just sit with me when I can't speak. You are the reason I am getting through with so few scars! :) Thank you, again and again and again.....

Starting over...
Out with the old, in with the new....bit of a shopping spree these last two weeks and, damn, did it feel good or what! I need to get a couple more things and then the spree will be over!
This being single thing is....interesting...I hadn't counted on it. Though when you believe the lies that you're being told you wouldn't...but anyway, I'm not dwelling on the past. I've learned some good lessons and I'm moving on!
Ok, so I need to recap the last few weeks. First, I've gone on 4 very, very odd dates and I've decided to round it out with a fifth on Thursday. The first three were with the same person and I really enjoyed the company and the conversation but apparently my date came with more baggage than a world traveler! Which was too bad because I really could have spent some time comparing side effects of the anti-depressants we're on! Oh well. That was followed up with the date that was just going nowhere and yet seemed to never end...you know the one...For some bizarre reason you order yet another beer and then you kick yourself as it arrives...sigh...So, we'll see what Thursday holds....
My darling niece came to stay with me for the past few days - we had a blast! Movies, facials, shopping, dining, - drinking the wild vines (hee hee). It was low key - mainly because I had so much damn homework - though I am still managing my 4.0! :) Only 6 weeks to go until my graduation and then one more year!
Anyway, I need to be off.
