Just call me....

Sponge Bob Square Boobs! The dreaded annual mammo is over and done with, thank goodness! I always get myself so worked up over stuff like that and it usually ends up being not as bad as I imagined. Well, not this time! It was a new machine and a new lab tech. The combination was deadly! I still can't catch my breath! With a family history of breast cancer, I know it's a necessary evil but gosh darn it! I wonder what it's like for those girls who have chosen to medically enhance themselves? I think I'd be afraid of popping. Anyway, I did my duty and now I can relax for another year.

Have you had your yearly fun? If not, don't take the risk. My sweet sister had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a very aggressive form of breast cancer seven years ago. She had a recurrence two years after the initial diagnosis and treatment, and thankfully is doing great right now. She endures doc appointment after appointment and will for the rest of her life. She's been told it will likely return again but has such a positive attitude and lives life to it's fullest. Her experience has definitely made me more conscience of my health and the little daily blessings that come my way. She's an inspiration to me and I love her to pieces. She needs to stick around for many, many more years! There is nothing sweeter than sisters and I have two of the best sisters around. Both of them make me want to be a better person and I treasure the friendships we have. Although I'm the youngest, our bond is strong and I can't imagine not having either one of them in my life. I know they're just a phone call away. Thanks, my sistas! I love you!!!
