Abandonment

I'm am sorry to have abandoned my little blog. Take a moment to admire the beautiful tree on Rabbit Ears Pass (Colorado) that I took a picture of recently. Ooh!! Aaah!! Back to the abandonment issue...I've been really busy lately, and I always think of cool things to blog about when I'm nowhere near the computer...but have absolutely no original thoughts when I'm sitting at the computer! So I will randomly prattle about my life for a few moments. Feel free to stop reading now.

My mom is doing fairly well on her chemotherapy, now that they stopped the Oxaliplatin. That is one bad drug, and man she had some terrible reactions to it. Imagine using a havy metal to poison the cancer...unfortanely, the platinum-containing compound can't neccessarily determine which cells are cancerous or not. I'm amazed that our approach to curing cancer is to poison the body enough to kill of cells, but not actually kill the body. How medieval.

My dad decided that now was the time to have gastric bypass surgery (also known as stomach stapling), as if we don't have enough going on in our family right now. Oh well, hopefully he will lose weight and be healthier and therefore live longer. The surgery went well, and he just started eating soft foods.

Asshole boy fell off the face of the Earth. The last time I saw him, he was going to a conference in Denver, and said "I'll call you while i'm in Denver, or I'll see you next week". Guess what? Never called, never saw him again. This really pisses me off! I can understand if he was interested, or had a lot going on in his life etc etc, but what's with him just NOT CALLING?!! I called him and emailed him, but never heard back, so I have now washed my hands of him. It's especially wierd, because he is friends with some of my good friends, and I know I'll see him again sometime. Maybe it won't be until spring and I will really be over it. Because I know all I would want to do right now is slap him. Seriously, who thinks that not calling is the best way to handle things.

In other news, we have about 1.5 months until ski season!! WEEEEEE!!!!
