Indeed, indeed chocolate and wine!

Yes lovely ladies I whole-heartedly agree that chocolate and wine are essential elements in the well being of my mind, body, and spirit.
My sweet and concerned co-workers gave me the biggest Hershey-kiss I have ever set eyes on. I brought it into my step-mom's office where I was about to dump my life out on her lap and eat some lunch. These conversations inevitably include her saying "oh, Heather" over and over and over and me preventing the rest of her office from working because she makes me laugh so hard.
Norma and I have always gotten along well ... we both love to have fun and lots of it. This past September we stayed at a spa in Niagara on the Lake. It was absolutely fabulous. The most beautiful vineyards ... endless wine ; ) and a SPA! I found a chocolate factory that covered everything in chocolate ... my favorite was the nibs.
I discovered over my travels this past year that my favorite way to see a place is on a bike. I can just close my eyes and see the beauty now ...hmmmm.
So, I brought my chocolate into Norm's office to share after lunch. It was a beautiful thing laughing, feeling loved, and hacking away at a huge solid kiss ... (there was a knife at that point ... but as Krista nicely pointed out I digressed later in the day to gnawing away at it with my pearly whites) and the chocolate was appropriate as we were talking about my first real dating experience ... as I spilled my mistakes and fears Norma laughed ; )
I was back at the TB (Tom Baker) yesterday to present myself as a human canvas ... I really wish they would just draw something funner than targets they are going to use to shot star-wars rays into me. I got an IPOD so that I could at least escape the sounds of the hospital. It worked smashingly. Had you seen me you would have thought I was a nut-case but really I can't worry about all of your impressions of me ... survival here kids. So there I was in my spring skirt, pink Paris beaded and sparkly shoes, untamed curls, and purple trench practically dancing down the hospital halls. I am sure learning that there are a million different ways to make a yucky situation edible. Like freezer burned ice-cream ... if you put enough chocolate and caramel sauce, m&ms, and fuzzy peaches on it ... Viola, totally edible ... even enjoyable.
Looks like treatment will start Friday or Monday ... I am scared.
