Puff and Fluff
Mom, you are funny. One of the funniest things you've ever done was the Puff and Stuff trick. I will retell it here to jog your memory and for the enjoyment of your friends and family:
We all went with the boys for them to try on tuxedos for Randy and Ashley's wedding. We had to drive out somewhere, I think it was San Bernandino, and we thought we'd make a fun day of it and go out to lunch.
Everyone was looking forward to going out to eat and Mason and Shawn and Randy and Pops had already talked about where they wanted to go. Seafood Buffet? Steak and ribs? Hard choices.
We were standing around together wrapping up the tuxedo details when Mom pipes in sweetly- "There's this new place around here close that I've been REALLY wanting to go to. It's called....let's see, it's something like Puff and Fluff? Fluffy Puffs? Puff and Stuff? Something like that."
The boys looked at her like she was crazy. She went on, "Its all decorated in pink and they bring you your meal in parts on little plates with doilies and they have all sorts of little pretty puffy things." She went on and on. The boys said NO WAY but she gently pressed about how much she had her hopes up that they would go to this place.
Mason and Shawn's facial expressions were priceless. Totally disgusted. Mason said, after 2 or 3 minutes, "Okay Mom, if that's where you want to go." Shawn agreed, but they looked totally depressed. It's Mom after all, and her boys would do anything for her, even eat puffy pink things instead of king crab legs.
Then mom burst out laughing. Glenna and I were busting up too because somewhere along the line she had secretly winked at us. The boys figured out that it was a big joke and Mom admitted there was no Puff and Stuff. We went to South Seas and everyone lived happily ever after.
You are crazy, Mom. I love you.

I am half way as of yesterday. I had my fourth treatment. I had a very emotional few days. It didn't take much to make me cry. Yesterday morning I went out to fill a prescription and I "met" a woman with some incredible road rage. At first I was in awe that someone could behave that way and then of course the tears came. She pulled in front of me twice and stopped in the middle of the road. Drove along side me flipping me off. She Actually was flipping me off the entire time. It was amazing!
I have two great friends that went with me to chemo and another ward member was there with her husband for chemo therapy and of course there are all the great nurses and other people that you meet there that are having chemo. We work on my "cancer quilt" and talk and really have a pretty good time. Last night I went to bed at 10 and didn't wake up till 6:30 so that was wonderful. I hate when I wake up in the middle of the night and have to get up for awhile. I have lots of family in town this weekend for various things so it will be fun to see them when they are available. Thank you so much to everyone for your support because it definitely helps me get through all of this. I love you all!

Today is a beautiful day in St. George. Yesterday I finally felt good all day. We have decided that since I am feeling good we are going to have a weekend getaway to Provo and Salt Lake. I am pretty excited because we haven't been anywhere for a while. Chemo is this week and I am dreading it. Each time I feel worse longer. However there is reason to celebrate because the Chemo this week is the halfway point for me. Yeah!
