blogged

so i totally had a decent blog written for today already, but stupid blogger erased it. sucky!

basically it said thanks to everyone that came out last night. and talked about my groovy presents, despite it not being my real real birthday. i'm sure it said more... cause it WAS longer, but i guess the recap is for the time-challenged. oh! fuck that! here goes: sala thai was delish! yum yum! curry and pad thai... yeah! and then dancing was fun. it was cold waiting in line, so i promise to do the guest list for forever now. the music was sucky BUT it was good times... probably because i was drunk, but that's neither here nor there. so far, i've received a massage, some crime tapes, a toque (that fits, and has an orange star on it), an NES game (lolo), six vintage mugs (one of which says YOURS YOURS YOURS YOURS or YO URS YO URS YO URS YO URS that i think is the greatest, and don't think others should be allowed to use), some baileys, hot chocolate, a rolly cart and a new garbage can (the old one to be thrown away tomorrow).

now all i need is for my amazon order to get delivered on tuesday, and for stu to *need* a glass of water, and have to come in! ha ha! i didn't order any pizza!

today i went to hope. it was a hard visit because my mom's losing her optimism. we talked about the doctor's most recent comments... and then i pretended like i really think that everything will work out fine. when she first went in, a few weeks ago, the cancer had spread to her other hip and to her first vertibrae. now it's spreading through her spine. if you touch her back, you can feel the lumps. so, on wednesday, she's going to get radiation which is supposed to also help with the pain, and then start a chemo program that will be a combination of two treatments that she has tried before. on friday, the doctor officially said that this is probably her last christmas. in which case, i think i should stop feeling bad about sneaking her in dq vanilla (without the sauce!) milkshakes. next time i'm going to get the biggest one!

tomorrow i'm going out for lunch and martinis with my boss, and then for dinner with ian. it's been a while since i drank at lunch, but it *is* my birthday fortnight. :oD tuesday is le tigre. yay!
