There are lots of causes I’d love to have the money and time to give to, and then there’s the moment a cause just smacks you in the face with the sheer perfection of it’s tackiness. About 6 months ago I was first approached by Lori and she told me the story of how “Pursey [...]

fail
There are some days I just feel like FAIL. I may get certain things accomplished. I may find some tasks done. In all reality, my day was pretty full. But it’s always the things I remember forgetting that haunt me. It’s the list that never quite gets done. It’s believing the motto of Aiming Low [...]
yo, folks!
I’m at Robin’s site today, telling all my deepest and darkest secrets. Except the thing that happened in the Peruvian prison. That stays between me and the midgets. And the guy from the gas station. And the bunny. But no further. You may have missed my post at Aiming Low. The one where I get [...]
do i get fries with my McJesus?
So of all thing I’ve written in the past, this is the most likely to start arguments I really don’t want to have. I’m not sure why I feel the need to write about this. But I do. I walked away from Easter Sunday at church, but instead of reinforcing my faith, it filled me [...]
when the Ritz Carlton (which was great) tried to kill me
I’ve never had the treat of staying at a Ritz Carlton. So I was looking forward this trip to NOLA as a luxury. I was expecting a much higher standard of shampoo to jank. DID.NOT.DISAPPOINT. Now, let me start off by making sure I’m perfectly clear on certain points Our room was comped for the [...]
here’s to trying again
I had my friend J take me to BJ’s last week. *snort* Large quantities of meat were purchased and had to be divided before freezing. So I did what I have learned to do with one hand: Get large freezer baggie Open and flip the top portion inside-out, so it will stay open Fill with [...]
there’s a house…
There’s a house. In Florida. The first one Peter and I ever owned. The one we brought our babies homes to. Back when we never had a thought to what the future had in store. We had to leave that house to make that future in Georgia. Leaving people we trusted to take care of [...]
the story of pants
This falls into that WAY TMI category, but I have to tell the tmi for it all to make sense. Sorry. Not sex, Mom. Months ago I asked my therapists a questions I figured they would have a solution for. “When you only have one arm to hold you, how do you pull you pull [...]
you’d think i’d have something better to say
After I do a fair amount of moaning and wailing about not liking how I feel about myself (which my mom read ANYWAY) I have a really big weekend of STUFF happening. Of course, I do! I got my hair did. I like it. If you don’t, lie to me and tell me you do [...]
reposted from Hope4Peyton – “Locks of Love, you disappoint me greatly”
This a a post I wrote on my blog Hope4Peyton. It told of my frustration and anger at Locks of Love. I’m still angry with them for letting people believe lies for financial gain. Read it. Share it. Don’t forget it. (damn, I used a lot of words!) Ok, fasten your seat belts because this [...]
amazon widget, alice bradley (finslippy) and redbook magazine
I’ve been very blessed that what happened with me has been made into something people can care about. There are a lot of people going through this recovery fight and I’ve felt that telling the absolute truth about this is the least I can do to tell part of their story. This post is about [...]
the weight of the world on my hips
With all the crap I’ve had to deal with THIS feels almost vain. When I’m in a wheelchair full-time and live with only one fully functional side,it seems silly to get crabby about my weight. I should be glad just to be alive. I am I should be happy that I’m with my family and [...]
About Anissa
Erma Bombeck said something that pretty much defines my approach to life.... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." If you switch the word TALENT for LOVE or LAUGHTER or HAPPINESS....it still stands.

things that will get you blocked from my blog
I lost a reader. I may lose a whole bunch of readers. I don’t care. As insensitive and unfeeling as that sounds, I just can’t care. I wrote a post happy about the fact Peyton made it to the Survivor Program in her third year post-treatment. Never forgetting the friends we had that we lost. [...]
