About Me:: 37 years old, survivor, mother of the two most amazing kids ever. No, seriously. I've checked them all and mine are the most amazing. ;)

I like to ride my bike. A lot. Music is a huge part of my life. Family and friends support and inspire me. I like to travel. And hike. And play outside... I cheer my kids on at their various activities. I have an amazing life.

I'm a wanna-be vegan and raw foodie. Baby step by baby step!

As of Oct 07 I am cancer free!

I lost my beloved father to lung cancer surgery complications in June of 2005, 6 months after my father passed my step mother of 23 years was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was diagnosed with cervical adenocarcinoma Aug 24th 2007. I had two small tumors removed through a radical hysterectomy. There was no lymph node involvement. I've had it up to HERE with the c!

I go to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!! (ok I didn't do the research on this one but they treat me like the rock star that I think I am....) every 3 months for the next 5 years for check ups and CT scans of my chest every 6 months (I have three benign tumors).

I haven't planted anything yet but, like you, I'd like to plant some containers with juicing veggies. Maybe I'll get to do some gardening next week when the weather improves. I grow herbs and I grew tomatoes in containers last year.
