~MY HUBBY, THE FIREFIGHTER~

~~~ONE MORE REASON WHY I LOVE MY BOB~~~



Gentlemen,
On March 30, 2008, at 1706 hours, you responded to **** Western Road, for a citizen assist. Mr. V R telephoned today and asked me to convey his appreciation for the compassion, professionalism, and excellent patient care that all of you provided for him.
He credits YOU and the JCAS paramedics for your persistence at the scene, and I quote Mr. V R, "They, saved my life. I wouldn't be here today if they hadn't insisted on transporting me."
This is a great example of how our agencies work together and provide top-notch patient care. Please accept my sincere congratulations for a job well-done!
Best regards,
Chief R

~FREE SHIPPING MAKES US SMILE~DON'T YOU JUST LOVE FREE SHIPPING??? I know I do and so I decided to add FREE SHIPPING from now on to ALL OF MY ETSY store purchases. (less shipping for overseas) I will be adding new treasures to etsy weekly and EVERYTHING will have FREE SHIPPING (in the USA) no matter if you buy one or 100 items.

Also, today is the LAST day to enter my MARCH GIVEAWAY (winner announced tomorrow) for a $30.00 GIFT CERTIFICATE to http://www.foursistersinacottage.com/ you not only use it for treasures on our website but you can put it towards shipping too!!!

WHERE IS THE OLD AMY....I AM HAVING A REALLY REALLY HARD TIME even looking at myself in the mirror.....I know I will never be the "OLD AMY" with the long hair and energy and strength I once had....it's sounds crazy but this past week, I feel that I am mourning a death....the death of the old Amy and it's really hard for me to let it go!!! My body really looks like SHIT.....sorry for such a strong word but yes, I am being vain and I want my OLD body back.....CANCER SUCKS...even after they cut it out of your body (can I say I feel more mutilated than anything else), even after chemo.....even after they tell you, you are cancer free and send you on your way.....CANCER SUCKS.....it SUCKS EVERYTHING OUT OF A PERSON....IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS!!!


LOOK HOW DAMN SKINNY I WAS, that's part of the white cupboard behind my back, Bob and I going out on a HOT DATE!!!! He SURPRISED me and had my girls go and pick out the dress, shoes, and jewelry to take me out on the town. I WAS SO SURPRISED as it's really hard to get things past me!!!!

TODAY I AM THANKFUL:

Bob, who made it possible for my huge old limestone fireplace to be fixed and brought up to code and we have now had 2 fires in the past 2 days.
For Bob, who, even tho we can have some pretty good fights, stopped me yesterday, looked me in the eyes and said, "I don't care if you have some extra pounds, I don't care if your hair never grows back, I don't care if your teeth are falling out, , I don't care if you can't do all the stuff you used to be able to do, ALL I CARE ABOUT IS THAT YOU ARE ALIVE and HERE WITH ME to share another day." WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?????

Paint.....and old trim....because my mind loves to DREAM of the possibilities with both.


Find your glass half full or running over and Make it a GREAT DAY!!!

Why cry over spilled milk??? It just means you had plenty to drink!!!
(NOW, if I could just put my BIG GIRL PANTS ON and get over this old Amy issue)


Paying it Forward.....Love and Hugs, Amy

UPDATE 11pm Sunday night.....I just gave away a 6 month old White Metal Bunk beds (you know the kind you buy at Wal-mart) and the 6 month old mattress/box springs that went with it. REMEMBER how I hated even buying those bunk beds.....I was even more thrilled to GIVE them away. I posted it on freecycle.org and it was picked up and out of here going to a sweet little 4 year old boy who now feels like his big brother...COOL STORY huh)
