This time last year
I ate granola bars for breakfast (a lifelong addiction to Nature Valley Oats and Honey)
Heaven was a Turkey Terrific sandwich on white Portuguese bread (I think there's crack in it)
By day, I was drinking Nantucket Nectars (my favorite, plus when in Rome...)
By night, I was drinking Life is Good (a deceptively tasty blend of alcohol and Red Bull)
So I had to pee a lot, no big deal (probably a UTI)
I was fitting in my skinny jeans (so I must have been doing something right)
The only pill I took was ibuprofin (and very rarely, I didn't like thinking my body wasn't enough)
My life was a sweet as my blood (but I didn't know it)
It was this time last year that my doctor looked down and shook his head (and I started to cry)
Melodramatic? Sure. But this is how I remember my own anniversary.

Comment by Ross on August 6, 2007 at 1:40am - Happy Anniversary Lizzie. Surely there's an excuse somewhere in all of that to taste that sweet, sweet nectar of innocence just for a few hours. Just the one vertiginious-GI doorstop sandwich, surely.
Our goal by Sept. 14
