Have you seen her?

I spy a gorgeous girl whose hair has taken a short sabbatical.

Shoot, is she a beauty or what?

More great news, the brows are still in full effect! Not even Chemo can bust up those brows!

Vilma is a Cheater

Vilma had a run in with her esophagus this week & her beloved Tums didn't help. She had to cheat on them with Mylanta, Lidocaine, Nyastin, & Benadryl, otherwise known as the "Magic Mouthwash."

Vilma truly hated cheating on her Tums but her esophagus was having a PARTAY after that concoction!!

In your face esophagus, that's how Vilma rolls!

Why? Why Not.

So why I am starting this blog even though I can't even keep up with the one I already have? Well, here are the reasons:

  • Vilma & I have some really funny conversations regarding cancer. Why not share them?
  • Something for us to look back on & smile. Why not?
  • A way to laugh. Why not laugh?
  • And, the most important reason, I love her! (Does it make me crazy I love my Mother-In-Law so much?)
Now onto my first Vilma story is one that some of you may know a little bit about already. Vilma is obsessed with eyebrows. One of the first things she said when Logan & Ellie were first born was, "I hope they have eyebrows like you."

She is worried that chemo is going to take her brows down with it. When she told me this, I of course thought she was a nut, but being the wonderful daughter-in-law I am I offered her a suggestion, "If the chemo does take your infamous brows we can get some caterpillars to put on to take their place." Here are some ideas of what she might look like with her new brows:
































So forward this blog site to everyone you know, because Why? Why not!
