The Power of Suggestion by Lisa (guest post)
I’ve been feeling extremely crappy the past couple months with the chemo seriously kicking my ass that writing anything at all has just been too much of an effort. About 10 minutes at my PC is all I can handle at a time, I’ve been so weak. I really appreciate you guys coming by here, many thanks for all of your encouraging comments. Hopefully, I’ll be done with it in another month or three!! Major kudos goes out to Lisa for cheering me up with lots of very kind and supportive phone calls and emails. I asked her if she would mind writing up a guest post to help keep my blog alive and she sent something I’m sure you’ll enjoy!
Here’s Lisa!!
After a really annoying day, (don’t ask,) my friend came over and we
decided to go to a favorite bakery and treat ourselves. Their
specialty? Cupcakes. Hers was cappuccino with chocolate frosting, and
mine was lemon with buttercream frosting. Everything got immediately
better within 10 minutes.
I was telling Se7en this story and we got into a lengthy discussion
about cupcakes. What our favorites were, homemade vs store bought,
frosting, etc..
He called the next day.
Se7en: “You and your cupcakes.”
Lisa: “Huh?”
Se7en: “I had to go to the store yesterday for some breakfast stuff. I
was looking around and there was a box of freshly baked cupcakes. So of
course I HAD to buy some.”
Lisa: Laughing uncontrollably, “I really got to you, huh?”
Se7en: “Yes you did.”
Lisa: “So how many have you eaten?”
Se7en: “Just one so far, I do have SOME willpower.”
Lisa: Still giggling, “You better watch out, they will be calling
your name in the middle of the night.”
Se7en: “Probably so.”
Next time I will call Se7en after I’ve eaten some cake.
*Smirk*
I’m evil that way.
Aw crap. Now I want a cupcake.

I have a cosmic cupcake connection to add to this. I was at Sam’s yesterday and, as I was walking in the store, a lady’s huge box of cupcakes fell off her cart and landed upside down in the parking lot! I wanted to cry for her!
See that would work on me regarding BBQ or sushi but I don’t eat cake. But now I want sushi. Damn…see how that worked.
Mmmmmm… cupcaaakes…
Feel better soon, Se7en!
It’s good to hear from you–was going to email but I didn’t want to bug you either, so I haven’t said much.
Hang in there–I’m still lighting candles for you. Or would you rather have the animal sacrifices???
Lisa you are forgiven on this one because I know it is all his fault and no female would ever do this to another who was working so on her diet….cupcakes is one of my weakness…so Seven sweetie you are so in trouble with me and I will deal wit you later….yeah like when I think you can deal with me.
Try living over a bakery! Thank goodness I’m reading this after hours. Otherwise I would have to go downstairs and indulge!
Sev, hope you are feeling better soon. Hang in there!
Poor Se7en. I have some birthday cake… ;P
Lisa…such a good friend
Thanks for asking Se7, my pleasure!
Oh and Se7en DID get even for anyone who might be wondering. He called me yesterday and told me he was eating a cupcake AND ice cream.
Harumph
Oh, now I want cupcakes and cake, too.
Se7en, hope you are feeling better soon.
Dammit, I’ve wanted a cupcake ever since Friday when I walked past the Magnolia bakery. Now I REALLY want one!
Hang in there, Se7, we’re all pulling for you!
You are not alone. I want one now, too!
Damn… I don’t even like sugar you dastardly cupcake-writing loon you!! But now, all of a sudden, I kinda want something sweeeet. Oh bosh.
Sev~ Here’s to hoping the chemo gets its own ass-kickin’ from YOU. Hold up, punkinbutt. We’re all thinking of you.
Se7en…I know how you feel; I really, really, truly do, but nothing like a cupcake or two or three to help you through
Hope you will feel better soon.
Cappucino and chocolate frosted cupcakes? Evil Lisa…. evil…..
*hugz for Se7… feel better!!!!*
Yummmm (except for Laurie’s poor parking lot lady). I was eating a Micky D’s apple pie (*sophmom hangs her head in shame*) as I read the post. *sigh* I really thought I was only gonna get a salad when I pulled up to the drive-through.
Se7en, I join the rest of the crowd with really hoping you’re feeling better soon. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Peace, darlin’.
Sorry I’m late in getting by but I’ve kept you in my thoughts and prayers. You’ve always got a kick-ass attitude and encouraged me - so I’m here for you to give some of that back to you. *BIIIIG HUGS*
Se7en, my mother recently finished several months of chemo… my heart goes out to you!! Feel better soon!! xoxoxoxoxoox
Cupcakes..mmmm…damn, now I want one too. Se7en, I hope you feel better soon. You are dearly missed.
Hmmm…are cupcakes and muffins technically the same thing? If so, the best in the world is a local bakery’s “Magic Pumpkin” muffin. Mmmmmm… (no, I will not go there, I will not go there. arrrr)
Hope you start feeling better soon, Sev! *hugs*
We love you Se7en. Hang tough buddy. And thanks to Lisa for covering for you.
Hi Se7en!
ONE cupcake? I thought you were supposed to pair them in your stomach or they’d get lonely.
Hey Se7, just swingin’ in to say hello
Hugz and poinks and !!!!!!!!! 
I am lucky enough to have access to a little Amish village. Yesterday while there, I came across a jar of apple butter. Now, I love apple butter so I had to buy it, but there, right to it was a jar of pumpkin butter! I’ve never had that before, so I bought it too. Then I found a marble pound cake, and that made it’s way into my basket. So now, I’m sitting here eating pound cake with pumpkin butter and let me tell you, it’s delish. Hope you are feeling stronger very soon Se7en, and Lisa? You’re my kind of evil.
hey you know where to get chemo tips, I could write a book.. just email
my best bit of advice sleep…. you don’t feel crap when you sleep. Listen to your body…
