Good news and randomnessViews: 493

First off, I bought this shirt earlier today in light blue. No one can call me out about being inappropriate because… really who has the guts to?

This shirt right here hiding in this hyper link

And eventually. I’m going to get a tiny ovarian cancer ribbon tattooed on my right hip because not only did I loose my left ovary, (Yay female anatomy and my silly reasoning and favoritism!) it won’t stretch and look ugly when I have kidlings. Originally I planned on getting something over my 10 inch scar on my stomach but then realized when I have children it’d just… be ugly. Nikke (a friend) suggested a dolphin just because I’m assuming that was the first thing that popped into her mind and I let her know it’d eventually look like an overweight sperm whale.

ANNND awesome news after 8 months apart from Zac I’m finally going to see him come July 1st. My flight leaves around 6am ♥Squee!

I also woke up and was surprised to find I have eyebrows again. They are coming in nicely. Never will I grumble about plucking them again. I EVEN shaved my one knee cap the other day. I’m excited. Would you consider that sad? ha

LOVE the t-shirt and glad you get to see your sweetie!

I want one of those t-shirts! I might have to pony-up some cash and buy one…cancer definitely picked the wrong bitch when it comes to you! Glad to see you’re going to go see your honey!
