PINCH ME! happy??? healthy?????

Life is extreme. No middle of the road to be found here.

Make A Wish Foundation, Looming and Crushing Pet Scans and, and, and Vampire Weekend!

This has been Lydia's and my life in a nut shell.

What do you want Lydia? A rafting trip down the Colorado river? A Napa Valley Spa week? San Fransisco and the Redwood forest? I think this she gets to choose!!!

Can she choose how the pet scan turns out?

Can we bear the wait for the life altering, miracle, controlling, crushing, @#$%@# news? No! It is really, really hard. So we keep our friends close around us. I can not leave her alone.

But the real piece de resistance (this time it is not the bar top dance). We have an amazing hot band, new on the scene, coming to play for us in Northampton. We are still working out the details with Jordi Herold, the big Northampton area music promoter dude, and Vampire Weekend!!! Vampire Weekend have been heard in the soundtracks of block buster films and Gossip Girl and Grey's Anatomy to name a few. They are BIG!! Check them out on the net and get ready.

So, pinch me. Lydia needs more than a pinch as it is hard for her to believe all of this through her disillusioned eyes.

I know it will.......It will be so much fun. I can see her now in the front row with all her friends. The date is not set as we are working out the venue, etc. But there has been a lot of interest even from the Mullin Center.

Last but most certainly not least......this is of the Utmost Importance:

Pray for Lydia in what ever way that takes form for you. She has her test next Monday 2/9/09, a very, very fateful day.

We witches will gather soon in the moonlight up in the hills to bring in all the light and energy we can muster for my child.

Please help in your private way. I am so proud of my community's Wishful ways. I take not one of your thoughts or deeds lightly and not ever for granted. Thank you, again and again.

Peace and abundance to you all.

Thank you all so much for you love support and your outstretched arms in embrace. Lydia and I know we are deeply held in your love. Your gifts and actions have spoken volumes:
