Did you know there were such things as stick-on nipples? Like truly lifelike 3-D, flesh colored (Bronze, Almond, Ivory or my personal favorite, Tawny) nipples, that you can put on like jewelry and pretend that you are a normal woman again. (Putting aside for now that there just might be more than four flesh colors out…

  I, like many, have been trying to understand. We returned home from a much needed and great post-surgery healing getaway in toasty Arizona recently, so while we had seen bits and pieces of the horrible events going on in our previous hometown for over 11 years of Charlottesville, VA (and where we also still…

Today is the “girls’” birthday, ya’ll! Yup, the well-rounded twins, riding high with (apparently) loads of pride (and silicone), are officially 3 weeks old today!! I can’t believe my surgery was just last month and that it’s already officially August? I know I was out of it for a while, but really, August?! Really? I just wanted…

Hallelujah, the day has finally come. My last fills were just about four weeks ago and tomorrow afternoon I get these truly awful turtle shells removed and replaced with my real implants! And, yes, that still sounds weird to say. REAL implants. Ha ha! And now that the expanders are finally settling in and not causing…

So we’ve been a little quiet of late around here, basically because there hasn’t been much new to report. And also because we’ve been enjoying some much needed, wonderful visits and adventures with family and friends. We do have a couple of posts we’re both working on in the queue though, so stay tuned. Since…

So happy and thankful to be sharing this wonderful news – the pathology reports on the ALL the breast tissue they could remove showed NO cancer cells and even NO abnormal cells!!  As Bill had mentioned on my immediate post-surgery update, this certainly wasn’t completely unexpected since my surgeon said she didn’t see anything suspicious in…

Thought that one might get your attention. Ok, so apparently I do have more to write/talk about here than I thought I would. Bill be slackin’ is what I’m saying. 😀 I was in the hospital for 3 nights, instead of the anticipated 1-2, so you can pretty much imagine how I felt. Pretty damn…

Family isn’t just who you are given assigned to at birth; there’s also the family you make. I am lucky and continue to be very blessed to have both and I wanted to recognize just a couple dear ones in particular here. First, my love, my life, my truly better half. As difficult as this time…

No, not the wonderful little town. The (formerly?) wonderful little show starring one of my super idols, Ms. Connie Britton. Even though the show has certainly had its share of issues, which is why I assume it was ultimately canceled by ABC after what would have been a super series finale (didn’t care about Juliette’s…

Last week, the day before my first “lovely” expanders fill, I decided it was high time to screw waiting for Bill to get home and that I wanted to take a walk to the lake NOW. So I did. 🙂 I took it slow and although I was definitely feeling it in my sternum on…
