Remember the Friends Episode where Ross made his Top Ten list and laminated it?
You know...THE Top Ten List... LOL!
You know..THAT kind of Top Ten List!!??!!
Well, my top five is a little different (for now..someday I'll do a top five like that one..tee hee).
The other day, while traveling in the family truckster for 18 hours (one way) to Arizona from Kansas City to visit my in-laws, my hubby, Brian said,
"You know how people always ask if you could have dinner with anyone in the world you wanted to meet who would it be?"
SEE...I told you it wasn't THAT kind of top ten list!! :)
He said he thought Tina Fey would be a great person to meet!!
I agree...she is smart and funny and would have many witty things to talk about!!
SO...I started thinking..who would my top five "if I could have DINNER with anyone in the world I wanted to" would be.
And here they are... :)
#5. President Obama
...first of all, way cool to meet the PONTUS.
Regardless of all politics...
AND...
I have a few things I would like to share...
About funding and awareness of childhood cancer.
And what we could do about that to even the playing field so my son and his friends don't have to face death.
To start.
We would likely cover other topics as well!! LOL!!
#4 Alex Guarnaschelli
(yup...from the Food Network and now the next Iron Chef)
Why? Well...I'm a huge foodie..love to cook and think she is amazing in the kitchen.
But...she is also a VERY strong personality and a fighter.
She is opinionated and makes no excuses for her opinions while she shares them freely.
But she is never unkind and has a heart.
I LOVE that!!
The conversation would never stop, and we would both share our opinions freely (I love women with balls)
...and then we would get ticked at each other and eventually laugh it off while thinking the other was sooo wrong and we were soo right!!
I enjoy conversations and people that present challenges and are not afraid of disagreement!
No one ever did anything great with "Group Think"!
#3 Jon Stewart
It's a take-off from Brian's "Tina Fey" idea...I think he's brilliant and smart and witty and fascinating.
There would never be a dull moment...I would laugh the whole night.
#2 Stephon
Yes...Bill Hader's character from SNL.
Seriously.
I LOVE Stephon...he cracks me UPPPPPPPP!!
#1 Channing Tatum
No...it's not that kind of top ten but....
He is hot.
Period.
There would be no touching...
I'm married, he's married,
and his beautiful wife is expecting a baby.
I respect that.
BUT...
I would turn the dance music on and say,
"shhhh baby...don't speak...
just dance"
Ohhhh yeaaaaaa!!!!
Top Five!!!
LOL!!

First Entry! :)
WOO HOO!! I have a blog!
And I have....
No clue what I'm doing! :)
I suppose this is just like when I joined Facebook, or Twitter. You just type, push some buttons and see what happens? :)
It'll all work out!
Right?
I am a married mom of two sons, Zach who is 9 and says the funniest stuff. We call them "Zachisms". I'll be sharing some of those with you, okay a lot of those with you. ;)
Braden is 8 and has been fighting a form of childhood cancer called neuroblastoma (I refuse to capitalize that or the word cAncer because I don't think they get to be "important"). Braden was diagnosed in 2007 at the age of 3 and was given a 30% chance of being alive on December 28, 2012.
He made it!
But..he relapsed with his cancer in 2009 and we were told there was "no known cure" for his cancer and his chances of being alive in 2016 were less than 10%.
He continues to go through an amazing, unique cancer journey and has been in treatment every day for 5 years but he is still here!
"TAKE THAT cANCER!"
4 months after Braden was diagnosed with his relapse, I was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer.
Because there was so much more information known about my cancer than his and there were so many more treaments available to me, we started a foundation to raise awareness and fund research to find the activators of childhood cancer and targeted treatments to shut those activators down.
We had chemo on the same days, we were bald together and today we are both kicking cAncer!
Again..TAKE THAT cANCER! :)
I am the President of our foundation, I don't make any money but it's the best job I've ever had!
I used to be a teacher, then an Elementary Principal, then a Director of Human Resources...
Also...really awesome jobs!
Now I'm a momcologist and advocate.
I want to be a ninja next.
Maybe next week! :)
We have one angel daughter, Miranda Grace, who died 15 hours after she was born in 2001.
I have MS, Braden has autism, and there's a lot more... www.BradensArmy.com has it all but the important things are not all the depressing, sad things...
The important things are what we have learned along this roller coaster ride we call life.
We've learned a LOT!!
And as a result,
We love, laugh, and live every day to its fullest.
We appreciate things more.
We detour (there's a long story there that I will tell you sometime but essentially we stop the craziness of life and do things like go to the park, have a picnic, read a book together, something every single day).
My life will probably make you laugh, be grateful for the good, the bad, and the just plain ridiculous...
...shake you head, SCRATCH your head, question everything, and if things go well...
Our lives will bring you HOPE!
Thanks for reading...
Plus...
Writing this blog is a LOT cheaper than REAL therapy for me!!
