I keep a calendar on my smart phone, and I have a sassy weekly one on my kitchen counter. But meet my other calendar that I have kept for years: Mr. Expiration Date. Birthdays, anniversaries, due dates, upcoming vacations - all receive even greater celebration thanks to Mr. ED.
When I saw this particular date a couple of weeks ago in the store, I practically whooped out loud. I even dug into the Safeway cooler a couple of cartons deep to get another 2013 beauty. You have probably already guessed that we feel pretty much "over" this year. Seeing this date brings us even closer! I can almost taste the freedom that will come with saying, "I battled cancer last year."
More beautiful: On the above date, we will be readying ourselves for Hawaii. We leave Jan. 2 and return Jan. 15. It's the kind of destination that we have talked about longingly for years and then have made a thousand excuses of why we can't go. This time, we didn't make even one.
This chick's expiration date was extended thanks to an aggressive cancer being removed, followed up with chemo and of course, the September de-boobing! When we dig our toes into that warm Kona sand, it will be in total celebration of being done (God willing) with the Big C.
Woo hoo, people! WOO HOO!!!
