I am loved and blessed!

Gift #1

Yesterday, in effort to maintain sanity, I HAD to get out. So, I met Angela for lunch. We had a wonderful time as usual. Great conversations were held over a VERY healthy, fat free, sugar free, cholesterol free MEXICAN BUFFET.

OK I confess. I let myself GO these past 15 days of sickness. Now most people DON'T eat when they're sick. I have done the entire opposite. To make it worse, that's also 15 days of NO EXERCISE. It's going to be like starting all over again.

OK, OK, I digress.

So, after I had my triple bypass and took my Zocor, we walked out to our cars, and she showered me with this AMAZINGLY generous gift. Yes, the container was part of it! This entire thing is packed full of organic items, EVERYTHING in it is organic. Plus 3 CDs, plus a card, and a huge thing of homemade granola. I'm still in shock. It was in appreciation for driving her to VT and getting the MINI absolutely muddy inside AND OUT. :) Well, and cause she loves me!

Girl seriously, I don't feel I deserve this AT ALL....you did too much!! I appreciate it more then I can say.

RIDE OR DIE!

Love you!

Gift #2

Monday was Nicki's last day at the wonderful NYS Cancer Registry. Due to my dengue and yellow fever, I wasn't able to be there. However, she left me a VERY VERY special parting gift that I got when I walked in at precisely 7 am this morning.

Now anyone who knows me, knows I am geographically challenged. And that's a complete understatement. Recently I was asked which states border NY. And I couldn't answer. I am NOT proud of that. I actually felt mad dumb.

So this gift brings back MANY memories. There has been numerous occasions of me asking, "Nicki, where is _____?"

And to make it even MORE special....she tabbed YOU ARE HERE, to remind me of where I am.

Thanks Nicki! I will forever cherish this.

I can't wait to bring your gift to you, and be surrounded by doggies, and Lisa promised to make me lattes!!!!!

I WILL MISS YOU at the canker.

ps....yes, it says CUPCAKE!
