Kim's_blog Events raise funds for cancer patient Community, family, friends rally to help her by Jonathan J. Cooper - Nov. 15, 2008 12:00 AM The Arizona Republic Kim Miller thought she was healthy. The 29-year-old mother of three and wife of Goodyear police Sgt. Deron Miller played softball regularly. She had lived an active and healthy lifestyle since childhood. So Miller and her family were stunned to learn that a gnawing back pain didn't come from kidney stones. Rather, it was caused by colon cancer that had spread to her liver and lungs. She needed immediate treatment. "I never, ever thought it would be cancer," she said. "It didn't make ... 2008-11-17 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mini_lizzie?l=5&entryID=599097 recently a good friend of mine here suddenly lost her father. it brings all sorts of feelings up within myself knowing that happened to me to along with my pseudo-father, my grandpa. i harbor all sorts of feelings i never really let out. in talking with her i shared how i have dealt with the two deaths in my life. i told her i can not relate to her, even though we have the same situation, my relationship with my father was completely different than hers, but i know what she is going through. the hurt, the anger, the pain, the feeling of being broken and not knowing how you are going to put yourself together. knowing your life would never be the same. it made me feel good to be able to share this with someone since i never have felt i can. saying it again has sort of put a peace within me again. here goes. when someone close to you dies, you don't have to be ok. you don't have to be ok with them leaving. your life will now never get any easier with them gone however it won't g... 2008-11-13 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mini_lizzie?l=5&entryID=593716 so today at work we are having a little halloween fun since they decided to cancel our christmas party! we were all supposed to dress up and then we had a little bit of food fun..... 4 people dressed up...... i was included.... that's not fun. but at least 3 of the people dressed up are my team! :) here we are... here are the cupcakes..... and of course my post would not be complete without a cute picture of my nephew. i got a hold of him at the beautiful wedding i went to on saturday.... 2008-10-31 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mini_lizzie?l=5&entryID=590447 i ended up going to my high school reunion. it was fun and i got to see two people i was very excited to see. one was my outside hitter, kim gwaltney. she was telling me how she wasn't feeling well lately and was going in to the hospital for tests because she had never felt pain like that before even going through child birth twice with no drugs. i got the call today she was just diagnosed with colon cancer. at this point that is all i know. i don't know what stage she is in but they are taking in her in for chemo today if possible so i am not taking that to be a good sign. she is 29 and has a husband and 3 children. please keep kim and her family in your prayers for a complete recovery. thanks here is a pic of her at our reunion. she is on the right of me. 2008-10-22 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mini_lizzie?l=5&entryID=587865 this weekend is the grand opening to samz market and deli which is where i'll be baking on the weekends! yesterday she allowed me to go crazy at restaurant depot and i am good to go on anything you can think of for baking! i am so excited i don't even know what to do! if you are in the area stop on by!!!! :) i'll be up there all day friday and saturday :) Samz_Gourmet_Market 2008-10-15 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mini_lizzie?l=5&entryID=578520 post pictures! ;) so mel had her birthday last week the same day as a little girl who's mom works with us. we had a little party for them at lunch time. we ate turkey wraps and cupcakes! it was super fun... here are some pics.... the two birthday girl's and thomas. my grandma also came and she held thomas most of the day. oh yeah, i also was asked by a local coffee shop owner if she can buy and sell my cupcakes at her shop! that is super exciting. i'll be meeting with her soon to figure out the details! should be fun! :) hope everyone has a great week! that's all i have for you now. 2008-09-22 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mini_lizzie?l=5&entryID=568126 how many psi are supposed to be in a spare tire? i do i do.... it's 60. want to know how i know? because after changing a RUN FLAT tire that was flat (run flat means it isn't supposed to go flat), my spare was flat too. well wasn't flat but was low. too low to drive. so as i was waiting at a circle k around the corner from my work after slaving away and changing a flat tire in heels, in the humid heat of our monsoon season, i angrily waited for my mom to bring me a portable compressor. did you catch that at circle k? yes, their air compressor wasn't working so i got to sit and wait for my mom to bring me a portable compressor. so around 5.30 my mom shows up (i get off work at 4 so you know a time frame) drove home slowly and pulled in to have my gas light go off! haha at least i made it home. and on to our bible study. :) and to get gas this morning. :) and to have the hole fixed in my tire as apparently i was lucky enough to have a screw go through my tire instead of ju... 2008-08-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mini_lizzie?l=5&entryID=565136 we just received a call from the bossman chris davidson who, as you all well know, has been battling cancer for the past year. his reports showed today that all of the cancer is out of his body. the doctor's say this doesn't mean it won't come back but it buys him some more time with his family! he will still be going through chemo just not such an aggressive dosage to maintain his current state. Praise God for answered prayers. :) 2008-08-20 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mini_lizzie?l=5&entryID=562463 i'm 28 years old. and single. and i'm ok with that. happy actually. just because my brother and sister in law have an adorably cute baby that i love to pieces does not mean i need to have one for myself. when i am ready i will. please do not ask. i know i am not getting any younger. that's how life works, each birthday you are another year older (in case you didn't know). if you feel the need to ask, don't be mad at me when i am not so nice back. thanks. 2008-08-13
