~Damn Computer & My Hair~

THIS DAMN COMPUTER....it's about ready to bite the dust. I had this HUGE LONG Posting of all my pictures from California and writing all about my trip and POOF....my computer shuts down on me.....I think they put a virus in our computers when we buy them to go off in 2 to 3 years after buying the computer....LOL....I can be such a conspiracy theorist sometimes!!!

SO....just a short post tonight....


I took Anna and Priscilla's advice and decided to SPIKE my hair and be a "MOVIE STAR"......I felt like a boy before but when I spike it and wear jewelry, I feel quite VOGUE!!!!
Love and Hugs, Amy

Just a quick note to let everyone know I am home and a bit jet lagged.

I did however manage last night to unpack everything and put it away, so that is a great feeling. I need to take a nap already and it's only a little after 10 am....LOL
I will post later tonight....oh and by the way, the 1/2 off everything sale is on the website, not etsy.
Just click here and it will take you to the website.
My flight was delayed only by an hour and it's been snowing like carzy here. Even the buses for school were running late this morning.

~Heading Home~

~GOODBYE CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE!!!!~




MY SUITCASE WAS SO STUFFED I HAD TO LAY ON IT TO GET IT SHUT......then Anna and I had to weigh it on the scale to make sure I wasn't over the 50 pound limit on United Airlines........ it came in at 47.9 lbs. LOL!!!



YEAH!!!! LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING TO GET THE SUITCASE SHUT!!!


DARN IT....I DON'T WANT TO GO......



~I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO ALREADY~



I'm Heading Home in a few hours.....I'm really sad as I don't think I am ready to go back to my "real world". It's so warm and sunny here and everyone has been AWESOME!!!
You know when you just take the second bite out of your dessert and the waiter takes your plate.....not enough time to finish it!!! That is how I felt meeting Ginger and Priscilla. And of course, there was so much more Anna and I were going to do but it just didn't work out.



AH!!! BUT THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR!!!!



My Body could not run around and keep going like it did 2 years ago when I was here. By 5pm, I was ready to call it a day and had my pj's on. Makes me laugh...I kept thinking, man Amy, you are getting old. BUT then I thought about what I have just been thru and it's all because of the cancer and the poison that has been put thru my body with chemo.
So, my hair is growing fast. More people think I should ditch the hats and bandannas but I feel like a BOY without them. Maybe in a few weeks I will be able to have it long enough so I can spike it with some jel......then maybe I won't feel like I look like a boy.


So, while I am traveling tomorrow on the plane....from California, to Denver and then Home to Cedar Rapids....


check out the website...EVERYTHING IS 50% off, even the goodies on the BACK PORCH so that I can start getting ready to put new treasures on this upcoming weekend!!!!



I am leaving 80+ degree weather and coming home to -9 below and walking into a Winter Storm Warning of up to 5 inches of snow starting at 6 pm CST (My plane is suppose to land 35 minutes after the storm starts so say some prayers for me!!!)

Love and Hugs and I will of course have a whole bunch to tell you about the trip......Amy


OUR LAST DAY AT THE MILL Restaurant....Yes, I had the Black Forrest Ham Sandwich this time and it was FABULOUS!!! YUM YUM YUM!!!
I LOVE YOU ANNA.....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHARGING MY LIFE BATTERIES and INSPIRING ME TO KEEP GOING and DO THOSE THINGS I LOVE!!!!
Your Lil Sis, Amy
