I know, because I have a hard time saying no.

Relay For Life is in 3 weeks. We have a fundraising garage sale this Friday and Saturday for it and I'm nowhere near ready for it. I'm planning on taking most of the day off tomorrow to get set up. All of the proceeds are going to the American Cancer Society through our Relay For Life team.

I'm excited about Relay For Life because this is the first time in the 10 years that I've been going that I've actually managed to put a team together. My mom, two brothers, a daughter, granddaughter, several nieces and nephews are all coming in from out of town to participate with me. We are going to have a lot of fun that night. I'm so thankful they are making the extra effort to come and help me celebrate 10 years of being cancer free.

It will also make 10 years of being on Xanga, later this summer. I found Xanga as an outlet to express my feelings about cancer, and then life in general. Like with most of us, Facebook has taken over my online social life and I just manage to get by here every now and then to peak in.

If you are a Xanga friend and you are on Facebook, too, look me up over there www.facebook.com/debbie.doty and let me know your Xanga handle when friend me.

Don't forget to do those monthly self breast exams and get those mammograms. Early detection saved my life and it may very well yours, too.
