I like short shorts...
I am currently fascinated by my legs. They are hot. Not just hot. They are HOT TAMALE YOU GO MAMA hot. They are lookin GOOD.
I can wear short shorts. I can wear mini skirts. And not look ridiculous. I am a serious hotty boom boom.
Ooh yeah baby.
The fact that I need to have a terminal disease that eats away at my own body and takes away any desire to eat in order to be this hot does present an interesting hypothetical question.
(While I like being a hot mama, I was doing okay before too and would rather be healthy and enjoying food. Since that is currently not an option, I am going to enjoy being a serious babe. Cause it rocks too.)
I will post some short short shots. And some mini skirt shots. Everyone should share the love.
I also bought a very cool new wig. I will get a picture taken and post. It is great fun.
Bit of a big week really! After the newspaper interview - which came out on Saturday - I'll post it up here tonight - I had the actual Luncheon for Leukaemia on Friday, which was really lovely. It was down at Teneriffe, at Platform 6 I think, and there were some great people there. The fashion show was really good, and some good information from a beauty therapist too. If you're looking for a good fundraiser to do with a work team, or a group of girls, this is a really good one. They're trying to hold them every two months, so get in touch with the Leukaemia Foundation for more information. The food was fantastic - six course degustation - and it was just a lovely pleasant afternoon. Some very nice lucky door prizes and a goody bag for everyone. A great way to while away an afternoon while supporting my favourite organisation.
The weekend was big too... On Friday night we had our church trivia night/end of year concert, which was lots of fun. I love trivia, even if my brain has started keeping things in different directories. Saturday we went Christmas decoration shopping and then we set up the Christmas tree, decorated the house and put up the advent calendar - as in Mama's beautiful patchwork calendar. So the place is looking good - lots of shiny sparkly lights, which is enough for me!
Sunday was a very sleepy day, but unfortunately busy... Went out to Wellington Point to see Jacqui and family before they sell their house out there, and then Beata was a trooper and took the girls swimming so I could get a quick nap in. Very good to see Jacqui and family though.
This week was chemo week, so a bit blah. Chemo all day Tuesday, and been feeling a bit blah ever since. On Wednesday I went to speak at a lunch at the new village - not my greatest ever, I was really tired and not feeling great. Lovely lunch though. On Friday the Foundation had their Christmas lunch for residents which was lovely - anyone detecting a theme here? I've had lunch with the Foundation three times in the past seven days... not bad! I did sing for my supper at two of them though...
Otherwise just spending time with loved ones... Amy and I have instituted sashimi and trashimi night - highly enjoyable. I am happy.
Just don't mention Christmas. I keep getting smug messages from Mama and Beata about how they've finished their cards and presents. Well, I have a to do list. And that's not bad.
It's been good to hear from a few people who read the article in the paper and have got in touch via the blog.
I've been thinking about what makes a good nurse, Ann - it's an excellent question. I think the big thing that differentiates nurses is the ability to see a person, not just a bed number. Every single patient is going through their own personal journey at that moment, and the best nurses remember that. It is very easy to get caught up with the fact that there are eight other patients in the ward with the same thing as you or worse, so stop making a fuss. The best nurses are those who remember that Sally hates needles, or Fred likes to have his wife there when the doctor comes. It's just about treating patients as people, not just patients or numbers or conditions.
But to be honest, the fact that you care enough to try to find out what makes a great nurse already says that you probably are. And when in doubt, just ask yourself "What would I do if this was my mother?" Good luck with it all Ann! Nurses are incredible people - I have a lot of respect for them.
So I'm happy, it's a good week. For the first time in a few years, Christmas is feeling very festive - it's nice to have small people around. And I have discovered why my Santa stocking was always so full - it is LOTS of fun to buy little presents for little girls and I need to control myself!
Over the next few weeks make sure you don't get caught up in the hype or consumerism or 'must do' or 'should do's - spend time with your loved ones, take lots of time for yourself and thank God for his incredible blessings in your life.
God bless you.
Much love,

Thank you so much for your comments Jess. I will try to remember the things you said. Sometimes it is the little things that count when you are stuck in a hospital. Have a merry Christmas. Ann
Hi Jess,
Glad you are getting in the festive spirit! It is so easy to go overboard on the pressies for the 'little one's', isn't it! But that's half the fun! Catch up with you soon. Sharyn
