SuperDuper Christmas
I've been super busy trying to make this a SuperDuper Christmas. I'm still not done with my shopping, but will hopefully finish today. My True Love is here with me and my family, which is very nice. I really need someone to lean on and he always knows how to make me feel better. Plus, it's been a long time since we've been alone and it's nice to just go out and goof around without having his work stuff to do as well. We went to see The Chronic(WHAT!)les of Narnia the other day and were the only ones in the theater. OH YEA!!
My family put up the tree late this year, but it was actually a lot of fun. My niece is a riot and is in a bossy stage now so she was telling everyone what their roles were in decorating my parents tree and she was the sweetest thing telling my mom that all she had to do was put the star on top, that she (my niece) would take care of everything else. Yeah, my niece is four. lol!
My mother has been extremely tired and some days doesn't leave her bedroom because it's to much to walk down the stairs. I can't imagine what she feels like. Cancer sucks and it sucks that there is no cure and that people have to have chemotherapy that only makes them feel worse. Sorry to go off.
I hope everyone out there has a healthy, happy holiday and rockin' New Year! Oh, and I hope that the MTA workers in New York end their strike soon because my friend Jody had to ride in a cab with four other people yesterday and one of them kept trying to grab his package. He said she had "the crazy eyes".

Sweet Home Massachusetts
I don't know about sweet, but it's home. I was driving myself crazy with worry, so I decided to come home early to be with my mother. I'm still in shock from the weather change. I mean, it was low 80's/high 70's in California and today it's 20 here in Massachusetts. Holy Coldness!
Mi Mama tried to pretend to be upset with me for coming home, but I could tell she was really happy and grateful. She's taken a leave of absence from work and I volunteered to bring her to all of her appointments and everything. This was more selfish on my part because I want to be there to know firsthand what's going on. I hate not knowing what's going on, so I figured this way I would know everything. I'm bring her tomorrow and I have my Coheed and Cambria comic book to read in the waiting room. I've been waiting to read that stupid thing for months, so what better time and place :)
It's weird to be home. There is absolutely nothing to do in the area where my parents live. There's a movie theater in a plaza with Old Navy, Gap and Chili's a few towns over so I may head over there and see a movie today. Good times!

I don’t like to write sad/serious things here just because I can’t take any blog seriously. But, I really need to talk about this. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. She had the cancer removed and was in remission and everything was fine. Well, I got a call last night and it was her telling me that the cancer is back. I knew that that could happen, but I thought the chances were pretty much slim to none you know? I guess you just don’t know when it comes to cancer. I was just home for Thanksgiving…why didn’t she tell me then? I think it was because she knew that I would stay so she waited. I just can’t believe that she’s going to have to go through that again. All the doctors, the consultations, the therapy. I guess her only option is to remove the breast. How painful is that? Not pain, like ouch pain, but having to make that decision? To remove a part of your body? I want so badly to be with her, but when I told her I was coming home she said no. Now I don’t know if she said no just because she thinks it’s what she should say and she really wants me to be with her or if she really wants me to wait a few more weeks until I go home for Christmas. Even then, how am I going to be able to leave her again? I don’t know what to do. Not that there’s anything I can do except be there for her, but how can I do that if I’m on the other side of the damn country? What do I do?

Engagements Do A Body Good
Yes, yes, I know that Kimberly Stewart and Talan Torriero (God, I feel like a bad person just for knowing their names) have “broken off” their “engagement”. I was doing my best to avoid posting on this news, thinking that the fact I posted on their “engagement” last week was awful enough, but then stupid CNN had to go and comment on it (way after it was the lead story—the LEAD STORY—on People.com yesterday), and that really left me no choice. CNN? Really?? This is actual news??
The official breakup statement, by the way, is one of the better things I’ve read in my life. I’m just curious how many minutes of giggling were endured before it was written:
“”It was just too soon to enter into a lifelong commitment. It is better to have a brief engagement than a short marriage. The couple continue to share their time together and remain open to whatever the future may hold.”
These two have the smartest publicists ever.

I'm On Team Nick
It appears Nick Lachey may be able to get his mind off his divorce, by working. He's developing a sitcom for WB, in which he will play a newlywed who also happens to be a famous baseball player. The co-creator of the project is Danny Jacobson, who also created one of my all-time favorite sitcoms, Mad About You. Lachey is no stranger to acting as he appeared in several episodes of Charmed last season. Plus, look how cute he is in that photo!
I'm really rooting for Nick on this one. On Newlyweds, it was obvious he was on his own when it came to his career and he really, really worked hard for it. Remember when he scraped together money to re-shoot a music video because the original version looked stupid? He strikes me as a hard-working, honest guy who got roped into the crazy Simpson family agenda. Go, Nick!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Sorry to make this so short, but I have a lot more "researching" to do for tomorrow's morning show. They are looking for some "odd news" (that's what the program director told me), so if you know of any, let me know :)
