Tomorrow starts THE BIG DIET. OK, for all of you who have been readers of my blog long enough to remember the other 20 or so of my BIG DIETS, this time I mean it, just in case you're doubting my sincerity. Over the weekend, hubby and I celebrated the birthday by going to the casino where we lost everything but my virginity, and then we ate these wings for the LAST TIME SINCE I'LL BE GOING ON THE BIG DIET.
Last week was spent with my most perfectly adorable grandson Gavin. A few pictures for you so you'll agree that he is not only perfect, but also adorable. (Do I ever lie to you?) We're not completely sure why he felt the need to smash the face of the female mannequin, but when you're going to grow up to be a professional faith healer...(CAN YOU FEEL IT!!!), one can not start too early, yes?
I'm including a photo of this chicken on my grill because I had no idea that they could play the piano.
And lastly, I found out on Friday that I do not need chemotherapy (YAY!)and I'll be starting radiation next week. BIG TEARS of joy because I still love BIG HAIR.Thank you again for all of your emails and notes to me on my blog. You have no idea how much strength I garner (and I almost never use that word) from your hope-filled responses. I love you.

Did you notice that the piano player has a beer can up his butt? Strange. :)I hope you had a very Happy Birthday, and I wish you many more! That grandbaby is absolutely adorable! :)
Love the piano player! Grandbaby is adorable. You are such a silly girl.
Don't worry about you hair darlin! It's air-conditioning for the summer. Just don't forget your sunscreen. Wigs are hot & miserable, but hats - hats are FABULOUS!! Naked little heads are even better.
Happy B Day! So glad to get your updates. V

That piano comment took me awhile! Oh well, good news and bad news. All the best.
So glad you don't need chemo; That's reason enough to celebrate, but a birthday is a double celebration!
Good luck with all, and the Big Diet!
Oh wait, I just read that hair loss only affects the area being treated. Lucky girl!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!
Don't forget to pamper the goddess between treatments. I'll send you tips how to pamper yourself on a budget, now that the casino has everything but your virginity. Here's your 1st one..
My personal favorite - have someone stand outside your window & every day when you look out you can pretend it's a magic mirror as they yell "YOU'RE THE FAIREST IN THE LAND!"
Gavin is adorable. Happy Birthday Mags!
Happy Birthday! Kick that cancer's a$$ and celebrate many more1

Happy Birthday!! You have been in my thoughts and prayers! I wish you all the best. I am a 18 year survivor of ovarian cancer:)
Once again, "Happy Birthday"... I don't think I stressed that enough yesterday...and diet, schmiet - it's a new eating plan. Ya right! Love you girl!

Congrats on not needing no steenking chemo. I'm very happy for you!
Hi Mags, Just found your blog through a google search for recipes.. I'm a 4 year breast cancer survior.. I'm so happy for you. Radiation is not fun but I can't imagine going through that and chemo. Hang in there.. it will be over before you know it..
Belated happy birthday. I am so happy to hear you don't need chemo. You are a brave and funny woman, and that's why we love you. Keep fighting. I am still laughing at the chicken photo and comment. You view the world with comedy colored glasses.
I am happy for you, not needing chemo. I had the same reaction when I found out, I didn't need it.
This will be a breeze....well not exactly but with your great attitude, you will make it a breeze.
Congrats on no chemo! My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in November of 2010. She went through chemo, and is now in radiation for one month. Everyone said the chemo would be terrible, but she was just fine! Her hair did go, but other than that she was the same upbeat, active woman she always was! Thank God! She is being featured in the upcoming issue of Better Health magazine coming out in early September, you should check it out! Stay strong, survivor!
