Hello all you AMAZING Less Cake {more frosting} readers. It’s me. Yes me. The real me. I just wanted to take a second to check in and say HELLO!
So…..HELLO!!!
I’m more alert, and less on pain killers. And I’m missing my girls/few boys that read this blog.
I would be so ungrateful if I didn’t thank all those amazing girls that were willing to share their thoughts these past few weeks with the Do Unto Others series.
I actually have a couple more posts to share with you as well. So those will be on the way. I don’t know about you…but I have LOVED being inspired to be a better friend.
Before I share those last couple posts, I thought I’d check in with you and give you an update.
WAIT: For those of you that are feeling totally lost (are you new to LCMF? Welcome!!) You can get totally caught up by reading my TMI post that I put up in the spring.
We’ll wait. Don’t worry.
So today,just for fun, I decided to do my update in person.
I hope you can take 5 minutes to see what’s up with “Ellie G”. (If you’re in an RSS reader you may need to click over to the actual blog to view the video.)
Again, I know I sound like a broken record. But THANK YOU for everything you do. Every time you stop by to say a virtual “Hi” it’s like….the most amazing medicine for me. So thank you a thousand times over.
And here’s to making sure we are TRYING to be our best selves. Maybe not perfect. But trying.
Now…who’s up for a Diet Coke?
Here’s to summer time!
Hello…I’m always up for a Diet Coke. Love you.
I love ya miss!!! I was in your same position once upon time. My colon was taken out in mach speed and I’m here to say and show life goes on… Health is important but being positive is best.
I love you sweet friend, and well wishes pretty lady
Karli
LOVE YOU!!! Miss you like crazy but as soon as I am in SLC I will TOTALLY be over to fold your undies! You look beautiful my friend! xoxoxox
I am super glad you’re not dead. I like you WAAAAY to much. I would like to come see you next week when I am back in town. Let me know what day works for you m’kay?
xoxo
I’m glad you included the TMI link because I didn’t know why you were gone, just that you were. I’m glad you’re feeling well enough to pop in. I went through a major surgery once, and I know how hard it is to sit still. Hope you are healing and getting your strength back so you can be back to 110% sassy real soon =)
Thinking of you! “Have you folded your friends underwear” is the daily question I shall ask myself. Forget “Have I done any good in the world today?” Yours is better! Love ya!
It is nice to see you laughing. Hope your recovery will go well and the pain will lessen everyday. You Rock Girl!!!
I consider myself a fairly new lover of LCMF but I have to say your laff is infectious and I am so thankful to hear it this morning!! You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Keep on getting well and when you just don’t know what else to do… Laff!
Thank you for ~all~ the _good_ you put back into this world {especially my world because, you know… it’s mine}. You have handled yourself amazingly through this and I realize there’s a long road ahead. You’re dealing with so much and I can’t even imagine how hard it is… so in lieu of getting too dark and emo, I will say that love and prayers are sent your way. You truly have made a tremendous impact on so many lives!! Wow. the utter awesomeness of that thought. wow. You.Are.Loved. Now I need to go find a friend’s undies to fold… huumm… wonder who’d be up for that one!?!?
Much love to you!!! xoxoxox ~♥~
So good to “see” you. I hope you are feeling stronger and healthier every day!
I’ve come to learn that the more we share the less alone we feel. I hope you’re healing and that all will be better than it ever has before.
<3
Aww, your video made me tear up! Not good while I’m here at the office trying to be all ‘important’ and ‘authoritative’! LOL. But I sincerely hope you feel better SOON! And for the record, I don’t even fold my OWN underwear. Do people really do that? *sigh* You and your IRL friends are clearly better people than me!
Heal quickly. And, yes, you don’t know me from a hole in the wall, but… {hugs}.
Aw Lara, I love you and miss you! You’re such an inspiration and a strength. Keep healing my friend!
Love you missy- hang in there. You are still in many prayers and much love comes your way daily.
xoxo
I don’t drink diet coke…but I would totally crawl into that bed with you, drink a diet coke, rock some earrings and a headband and laugh our woman gardens {is that what you called it?} right off. And I loved loved loved your challenge…have your folded your neighbors underpants today? LOVE YOU. that little video was a perfect way to start my day. so glad you are smiling and off pain killers!!
I always read your blog and FB posts but don’t usually post. You totally cracked me up. Made me tear up and made me laugh. Needed that so much today! Thank you for being you! So glad you are able to rock a headband and some earrings. Keep healing and getting better!
I absolutely love your blog. I always get so excited when I see it updated in my reader! I’m going to have a diet coke with my lunch today just for you
And I love your subtle nod to “Friends” with your blog title – best show ever. Hope you are healing well!
Hang in there, Lara! You are always in our thoughts and prayers. You look great! Love the hair, headband, and earrings. We love you!!
Diet Coke is the drink in our house too. I hope you are doing better and I loved your video and your laugh, even when you feel bad. My hat goes off and we are sending prayers your way. God Bless
Haven’t been to your blog for awhile, and wow, what a surprise. So glad to hear you’re not dead, but what an ordeal to have to go through. Keep your sense of humor, try to be patient and know lots of people are wishing you well. How about substituting mineral water with a splash of lime for the Diet Coke?!?!? Virtual hugs…
Just stumbled onto your blog and absolutely love the title. I’ve always said I don’t know why people bother with the cake, just give me the frosting. Love your blog!
Can I just say that you are totally adorable?:) That video made me smile and giggle so you can check off ” washing this friend’s underpants” for me today because I needed that smile and giggle
Thanks Lara!
You are ADORABLE!!! Keep focusing on yourself!!!
You might be one of the cutest people, ever. Seriously. I don’t just go calling people cute, and I’m not weird and stalkerish. You just remind me of some of my wonderful friends, who are super cute, so I thought I’d share.
Good luck getting well, from… whatever it is. (I haven’t read the TMI post, apparently)
You are a bright ray of sunshine – even post-op and from bed! No doubt you have a wonderful team of loving family and friends supporting you. SO funny about “have you washed a friend’s underwear lately”. It is one of my worst fears (right up there with spiders) that someone would have to come over and wash my laundry including my undies! But that’s a gift, isn’t it? Another gift is the ability to say “yes” when someone is trying to serve you. It sounds crazy but it’s not easy to be on the receiving end is it? Thanks for your realness – you are adorable in your headband and earrings. Thanks for the smiles, even through the tears.
