Girls Weekend in Chicago!
I am in Chicago to get the inside scoop on what McDonald's is up to (more on that over the next few days) but because I have never been here I decided to ask a pal to come a few days early with me for a Girls Weekend.

Put Radiation on The List of Things To Do
I have loved having my sister here for the last week but to be honest everything is overwhelmed by my mom's cancer and the treatment. I feel bad for my sister. Her life is in such a wonderful place! A baby on the way. A wedding to plan. In her mid-30's I'm sure she sometimes thought this might never … [Read more...]
F*#@ing Cancer Treatment Day 2
Yesterday was rough. Really, really rough. I think we were fooling ourselves a bit to think that my mom might escape any real side effects.

So I was eagerly looking forward to its recent DVD release, and I sure wasn't … [Read more...]

Cancer Treatment Day 1
The past few days have been crazy busy. My "little" sister is here from the UK (yes, I know the woman is well into her 30's but she will always be "little" to me) and we had a big party for her and her growing belly on Saturday. There was tons of food and tons of fun but I have … [Read more...]
