It’s Time to Delve Into Twelve

by

If you’re at all like me, you found yourself simply cruising through the holidays, way back in 2011, just trying to survive. Thoughts of resolutions were the furthest things from your mind. More important to deal with were the little (or not so little) family dramas, the last minute shopping, wrapping gifts (or handing out dreidels)  and the burnt cookies.

Then suddenly, everyone was talking about resolutions, as if they’d been planning theirs for months. You know, come to think of it, it really annoys me when people come out with resolutions, and then back them up with these “all-knowing” statements,  as if suddenly they are the definitive experts in their resolution’s field… Here are a couple of examples, (and I’m sure you have plenty to offer as well):

“I’m going to get into sculpting this year.  It’s one of the five most difficult art-forms known to man, but I think I’m up to it. My friend, who’s a fellow at NYU, says I have the hands and the eye for it.”

OR

“I’m going to lose twenty pounds and keep it off, this time.  This new diet, XYZ, is the only one that works.  I’ve checked into it.”

So yeah.  Everyone was talking the big talk.  But in my case my “everyone” was mostly in cyberspace. I know. Sad.

It was when one of my youtube “friends” whom I’ve never actually met in person, @SooperChorus, put together a New Years resolution challenge, where he promised to pick the best video responses to feature in his next post, that my interest was peaked.  What sort of resolutions would I make?  Would stating my goals / resolutions for all the world to see be any different than telling a few people at the water cooler?  And, isn’t the internet my own personal water cooler?  Would doing so make me feel more accountable to actually achieve them? And most importantly, what would all of my famous, snooty, celebrity friends and clients think?  To date, they’ve basically trembled and reveled in awe at my chutzpah, and my willingness to be so transparent in such FUN and INTERESTING ways. Nah… they wouldn’t be a problem.  Hmmm.

It all started with a question to my man, M.C. Nugget*, “Do you know how to record a video while I am sitting here at my iMac?”  You see, we are all about professional videos, with cameras, lights, mics and things, but I’ve just never really done video with my desktop computer.  I took one look at myself sitting in front of the screen, and – uh – NO.

As they said in the old H.R. Puffinstuff kid’s show, “MAKEUP!!!“

This had to be out-of-the-box – at least from all the other video responses, if I was going to publish it.

So – well, without further adieu, here is my video response to @SooperChorus, with a list of my 2012 New Year’s Resolutions.

DISCLAIMER:  I actually have a real list of my own… some of which did not make this video…  Some things are just for ME, un-kay?

ENJOY MY LOVELIES!  And then be sure to read on, to see what happened!

If your browser or email does not show the video box above, click the box below to be taken to the video on Youtube.

The end result?  I was chosen by @SooperChorus as one of three video responses to be featured.  He edited my video (and left off my #5)  but I didn’t mind.  I was actually REALLY SHOCKED because when posted it, I mentioned in the comments I was probably disqualified because he requested videos of a minute or less, and mine was FOUR minutes.  I guess ya just can’t ignore greatness.  HEH HEH.

Check out HIS video featuring ME (it’s very SILLY – but did you expect anything else?) here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjNaiPm3Ngw&feature=colike

My Question of the Week

I know, I don’t do that – but it sounded too cool…

What are your plans for Delving into Twelve?

Think about it and post a reply here.

Stay tuned next week for a slide show of more MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN MOMENTS.  Oh!  Or maybe a new TECHNO BABE MOMENTS.  See you then!

Love you people!!!!  MMMMMPPPHHHUUUHHHH!!!!!!

Make 2012 Your Golden Year

by

I received this wayyyy back on December 14th — last year — I just love saying that, even though it was only a couple of weeks ago. I subscribe to Daily OM, but rarely have the time to read their emails, even though there are some great nuggets in each. I’m sure that is true of each of you – my readers – as well. It would not surprise me to hear that, although you know you are going to chuckle, be inspired, or encouraged in one of my emails, there just is not enough time in your Rockin-and-Rollin’ lives to read or watch all of my posts. You probably wonder where I get the time. Well, we all have our to-do-lists. HA!

I hope you WILL take the time to read this, from the Daily Om, December 14, 2011. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT. I find that every single one of us makes promises that somehow slip through the cracks.  We do it in the form of phrases like “I’m going to (insert a promise to do something for a friend or loved one)” or “I’ll call you next week” or even the casual, but still flaky if they don’t happen, “Let’s catch up soon” or “Let’s have lunch!”

The post is so packed full of truth.  It’s also encouraging – and reminds us to be authentic. Let’s all work toward authenticity in 2012, shall we?

As Good as Your Word
Promises

We forget how powerful our words are and when [we] make promises it is up to us to make sure we keep our words sacred.

Ever since human beings could speak to one another, they have been making promises and keeping them or not keeping them. Those who keep their promises are regarded as people of integrity, while those who don’t keep their promises are regarded as people who at best can’t be taken seriously and at worst can’t be trusted. Sometimes we forget how powerful our words are, and we use them haphazardly or unconsciously, creating expectations that are never fulfilled, leaving disappointment and distrust in our wake.

On an even deeper level, there are promises we may have made to ourselves that we don’t remember because they have slipped into our unconscious. An early heartache may have been followed by a promise never to trust love again. Without realizing it, we may be fulfilling that promise and wondering why our love life looks so grim….Upon realizing that we have made a promise we no longer wish to be beholden to, we can perform a ritual of requesting release from that bond. In doing so, we clear ourselves of outmoded connections and patterns, returning ourselves to a clean slate. Then we can resolve to remember that our word is sacred and to be very conscious of any promises we make to ourselves or to others.

We may ask to be released from any promises made to ourselves or others …consciously or unconsciously, that are holding us back from fulfilling our greatest good. We may ask that love, light, and healing be sent to any souls who have suffered from our inability to be true to our word, including ourselves. We can ask for the wisdom to do our best and from this point forward to be true to our word, promising only what we truly intend to deliver. The resulting clear conscience and liberated energy will illustrate this truth: We are only as good as our word.

Isn’t that the truth? Now, take some time to think about you… your patterns, habits, casual communication techniques… and evaluate them.  If you feel you should brush up on your “AUTHENTICITY” skills, and be more true to your word, I challenge you to do just that.  Eliminate those habits and patterns from your life that keep you from being “REAL”.  Don’t gauge your behavior on that of others.  Your foot print is your own.  You must own it, as your foot print remains when you are long gone.

But here is the good news.  With every new year comes a brand new start.  Anyone can do this.  That includes you!!

Wiping the Slate Clean for a New Year - 2012

Have a ROCKIN’ and ROLLIN’ New Year everyone! I know you movers and shakers are rarin’ to dive into this year and make it rain.  So be it!  Dive in baby!

Tune in again for something FUN and some good laughs!  PROMISE!

Love you People!!!! Mmmmmppphhhuuuhhhh!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Mammoth Mountain Moments & a Lesson in Branding

by

As promised, my lovelies, I’m pleased to present episode 2 of Mammoth Mountain Moments.  It’s a very clever (if I do say so myself) foray into the world of the brains behind the Ms. Cheevious brand… and all under the guise of Apres Ski drinks, and revelry.  It’s true!  In the blink of an eye, you’ll be talking “Brand Equity” and “Funny Factor” in the same sentence, and still sound like an expert.  Pretty nice, eh?

I do a pretty good job of setting this video up for you, but suffice it to say… it’s worth the watch!  And tune in until the very end, where I have a GUEST VOICEOVER artist present my little “lesson.”  Can you guess who it is?  HA!  Please enjoy it, and then follow-through and post comments on Youtube, as well as here on the blog.  It’ll take — ohhhhh, three minutes out of your life – but then, your witty charms and pithy remarks will go down in internet history!  People will be clamoring to know who wrote that TOTALLY RAD comment. It’s so very true.  Can’t wait to launch your pithy remarks internet career and see where it takes you!  🙂

If your email or browser doesn’t allow views of the video above, please click here (or go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSX_AF-6WDo&feature=g-upl).

Oh, and, by the way, I am doing perfectly well and recovering FANTASTICALLY, after the first stage of my surgery I underwent this past Monday, December 5th, also mentioned in my post “I’m Too Sexy for My Genes“.  I got an A+ for how things could go in surgery, and an A+ upon my first after-surgery visit to the doc’s office.  She was quite pleased.  If all goes according to plan, Nuggie*, and I will be boarding a plane to New England for Christmas next Monday.  If it does NOT, well, we’ll be decking the halls of the Beach Palace.  I’m banking on all going according to plan, but stay tuned for more on that!

For those of you who still enjoy READING, here’s for you gals and gents in the event you ever deal with this:  My List of Tips for the Post-Surgery, Near-the-Holidays Blues:

  1. One word.  SWELL.  In other words, something you won’t feel… unless of course you relegate the word “SWELL” to it’s literal definition:  A huge amount of puffiness, due to an undue amount of fluid retention.  Oh, your entire body will feel and look years younger.  Yep.  No wrinkles or anything, because you’ll retain SO MUCH FLUID, your skin will feel as though it’s about to POP from the stretching and the swelling. No wrinkles, my lovelies, but no guarantees on no stretch marks afterward either!
  2. MEDS & SIDE EFFECTS. If you have any allergies to antibiotics on the books, well, just PLAN to add RASH and ITCHY-BODY to the mix.  There is a good chance you’ll be allergic to at least ONE of the meds prescribed in order to help you heal afterward. This will further increase the effects of item #1, because we all know that when we rash-out, we also blimp-up.
  3. DIET. Don’t eat foods containing enormous amounts of CHEESE the day or night before surgery.  Just don’t.
  4. GOOD OLE GRANDMA. Plan to wear your granny clothes for at least two weeks, because nothing else will fit or look decent..
  5. HOLIDAY ATTIRE. Start planning weeks ahead of time what you can wear to that one holiday or Christmas gathering… do so in a vain attempt to try and fool others into thinking you’re the same old you, and you did NOT just undergo a major procedure.  And, although you’d normally be wearing your skinny jeans or mini-skirt and sexy top with stilettos, it was a FASHION choice to don the Black turtle neck, long loose skirt, high heeled boots and festive jewels. Because, well, it IS all the rage… somewhere.  The new sleek departure from your usual fashion statement should help distract sufficiently from what I like to call your “surgery center” – in my case, the newly formed BULBUS boobies protruding from my body, and the puffed out arms, legs, fingers and toes — there normally to help me manage life, but will barely help me squeak around the Christmas Tree this year.
  6. SMOOTH MOVE. With much Pain Medication comes much Constipation.  HA! No.  That IBS won’t come in handy now.  Eat healthy stuff afterward so you can – ehem – “eliminate” things when you need to.  Oh!  And repeat after me:  Stool Softeners are Your Friend.
  7. NURSES CAN HELP YOU. When your hot man or lady offers to “nurse” you back to health, say YES.  And let them.  Just pretend they are wearing a Chippendale’s or Playboy Bunny costume, and let the medications take over.  You’ll be drooling in your sleep in no time …and, you can claim  it’s all due to hot dreams and fantasies, and not the lack of olfactory control you have while sleeping — yeah!
  8. ENJOY EVERY SINGLE MOMENT. You’re here aren’t you?  You made it!  It’s only a matter of time before you are back in charge and in control, so enjoy the moments, and have a good sense of humor.  It’s the only way to live!

As for me, I’ve been extremely busy resting my bod on the sofa in the living room of the Beach Palace. Of course, there have been the occasional meds, sponge baths, and slow, leisurely walks around the block.  Next week, if I’m recovering nicely, I’ll venture out to get some last minute Christmas presents off in the mail.  I hope all is well with every single one of you, and I look forward to hearing more from you all on your plans!

Have a NOGGY week of Christmas, Chanukah, Quanza (sp?) and any other Holiday festivities.  Tune in next time for LORD KNOWS WHAT, but it’s sure to entertain!

Love you people!!!!!  Mmmmmpppphhhhuuuhhhh!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

A Happy Accident

by

.

I am in favor of living a life “on purpose” & determining to live authentically.  I have made a pact with myself to forge ahead despite all obstacles. In doing so, suddenly, happiness is part of the fabric of me…  a Happy Accident…

With that in mind, and in true Ms. Cheevious fashion, I’m taking my cues from a cool Buzznet blog I saw recently by @KeltieColleen, who  did a post entitled “Things You Need to Know About Life.”  I thought, ‘hmmm.  love that.  but there is so much more to life than merely the warnings, the “take heeds” and things that won’t work in life… so I’m going to post it from the positive and Ms. Cheevious perspective.”

So that is what today’s post is about.  Make it so #1.  Do these things.  BELIEVE these things and make them a part of YOU.  Happiness will follow. (Oh.  And if you are a MAN, BOY, DUDE… Just insert YOU in the place of “women”.  Some of these apply to either sex, but when they say “women” well, it’s because they don’t write these kinds of posts for men.  The kind of “inspirational” images I found for men – well, they are for another blog at another time. HA!)

Like NIKE says, “JUST DO IT.” ‘Nuff said.

I admit, I’ve grown a wee bit weary of the hundreds of posts on Facebook that have suddenly crept up on my news feed.  Posts just like this with one poignant phrase after another… but reduced to graphically pleasing images.  BUT.  And of course, there IS a BUT…  sometimes there really is a place for  quips and sayings.  Their is no easier way to remind ourselves of the truth: That we are not as “bad” or “weak” or “frail” or “ignorant” or “unfashionable” as we think.  Sometimes our thoughts need a shot in the arm… or a big giant “graphically pleasing” BILLBOARD, blinking and buzzing in front of us… to remind us of who we really are.

Get outta here now and have a HAPPY, FANTASTIC day!

Stay tuned for the story of the WHIPPETS and Ms. Cheevious’ friends.  OY.

Love you people!!!

Mmmmmphhhhuuuuhhhh!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

I’m Too Sexy for My Genes

by

Buckle up boys and girls.  There is a TON of information in this post, all written in true Ms. Cheevious fashion (fun)… You will miss important information if you breeze through, however.  If you value your life, take the time to read this.  And that’s no joke.  It could really make a difference for you or someone you love. Now, dive in and enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I think it only fitting to make this announcement now.  No.  I don’t have breast cancer.  It’s more involved than a simple diagnosis, but it’s important and everyone should be aware of this information, so they too can make informed, proactive decisions as they are able.

This post is in honor of my sister Mary Louise “Mimi” Sherwood Larimore, who passed away in August, 2010, losing her almost 7 year battle to Ovarian Cancer.

Why, dedicate this post to someone who suffered with Ovarian Cancer, when I’ve said clearly it is timely for Breast Cancer Awareness?  Well, mostly because I can, but there are other, much more important reasons.

Read on to learn them.

Now.

Picture this:

Me, with a lab coat and horn-rimmed glasses.

There.

Now you’re ready.

First off, let me preface the rest of my post with this: I am NOT, in any way shape or form saying that anyone can ever be TOO SEXY (for their genes or otherwise)!  No, my dearies, in the long, endless list of things to worry about or avoid, being “too sexy” is not one of them. Also, in this context, I am referring to being SEXY and creating sexiness by staying fit and healthy, which causes our body to become a lean, mean, streamlined, fighting machine.  This of course means that in the world of biology, if we do these things, we hope that all pieces of the puzzle communicate, find each other, and fit nicely together.  Being TOO SEXY, in my case means this: FOR GODDSAKES!  Here I am working my ASS off (pun intended), mostly for the health benefits, and in this particular case, it really didn’t make a bit of difference.

So, apparently I am WAY too sexy for my genes….  My little puzzle pieces (genes) just can’t keep up with me. Or, as I’m told, at least one of them can’t.   But can you blame ’em?  The mere pace I keep in life alone causes grown men to cry… (insert evil laugh) but that is another topic for another time.

Many of you, if you’ve followed my blogs, and my vlogs on my YouTube channel, know that my beloved, beautiful sister Mimi Sherwood Larimore lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer in August of 2010. Her ongoing battle was horrific to behold (even from a distance), but in true Sherwood Girl fashion, we all believed she would conquer the scourge that besieged her body. We all supported her belief, wholeheartedly.

Her illness prompted my gynecologist to begin a personal campaign to get me to the genetic specialists at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles.  And when my sister passed away, without having opted for genetic screening, my doc turned up the heat. She REALLY wanted me to be screened for Ovarian / Breast Cancer (they are related) gene mutations. So I succumbed. This time, I had no excuse, because I knew I wanted to know, but in the year past, my insurance would not have covered such a test.  This was not the case this time around.  My insurance covered 90% of the screening. I also learned insurance companies are prohibited by law from discriminating based on genetic testing.

I’ll cut to the chase here.  I went in for the screening, and then went in for my results, and more to the shock of the genetics counselors than to myself, I tested positive for the BRCA2 Genetic Mutation.The shock was because even with  TEN FRIGGIN SIBLINGS, I had only one first degree relative with ovarian cancer, and none with breast cancer (although the BRCA2 gene is indicative of the risk increasing with age). None of us is absolutely certain whether our father’s cancer – which was only discovered two days prior to his death – and running rampant throughout his mid-section – was prostate, stomach or pancreatic cancer – or not – (also high-risk cancers for BRCA2 mutation carriers). Our mother did not have it (she had lymphoma). There was a second degree relative with Ovarian tumors at a young age, but that was about it!  So yes, the genetics experts at Cedars were quite surprised.

I’m not sure what to make of the image below… but it matches the lab coat thing we got goin’ on here, and gee, it sure is pretty.  If you are a true GEEK, perhaps you can post a reply below and enlighten us.  But explain it slowly and in three and four letter words if at all possible.

Who would have THUNK something with the ability to wreak such havoc, could come from either one of these gorgeous people?

Padalino & Sherwood - The Early Days

That is my mom, Nereide Frances Padalino Sherwood, holding my oldest brother, with my dad, Orville Joseph Sherwood.

Yes, my little Hottie-McHottlesteins, I am old enough to have parents who were having kids in the NINETEEN-FORTIES… but just BARELY.  My parents had me when they were late into their SEVENTIES.  I PROMISE.  🙂  It was a miracle, and was featured in the National Enquirer, and everything… SWEAR. TO. GOD.

Anyway – back to my lab coat and horn-rimmed glasses… and to the Genetics Counselors at Cedars Sinai:

They explained that our bodies read genetic code as such:

Genes are read in three “letter” sequences.  But every three letters must “make sense” or “spell” something… so a correct set of code may look like this:

But when a mutation occurs, an extra “letter” – like an “A” is inserted, which sets all the code off and causes all kinds of mayhem in your body. It may look like this:

So, why only these cancers (Ovarian, Breast and lesser known cancers) then?  Why wouldn’t this screw up our entire bodies?  Why wouldn’t there be a risk of brain tumors or whatever?

Well, they said it’s like a library.  The brain tissue or liver tissue, etc… it never has to access this code.  This code is only accessed by breast and ovary tissue most of the time, and the prostate and pancreas (and other parts of the body) some times.  So that’s why you don’t get bone cancer, or a brain tumor, etc…

Additionally they provided these nice little statistics of RISKS for me to think about (and share with any and all blood relatives):

MEN
Risk for Early onset (around 50 yrs) Prostate Cancer:
Those with mutated Gene:  20% (goes up with age, significantly)
General Population: 5% (goes up with age after 70)

Risk for Breast Cancer:
With mutated gene: 5-7%
General Population: <1%

Risk for Pancreatic Cancer:
With gene: 2-4 %
Gen population: <1%

WOMEN
Risk for Breast cancer:
With gene mutation:  avg 80% (risk increases with age up to 87% or more)
without (general population): 7%

Risk for Ovarian cancer between age 50-70:
With gene mutation: 19-27%
Without (general pop):  1.7%

Risk for Ovarian cancer from 70 and up:
With Gene mutation:  27-44%
General population: < 2%

So, in my results appointment, my Genetics counselors discussed the options available to me with this new information.  There were a few choices but I opted for the most aggressive approach to eradicating my elevated risks.  For me it was simple.  I saw what my sister and her loved ones went through.  I have had my kids, and hell, I had a breast lift to improve my appearance after nursing my kids years ago!

Sometime in the next couple of months,  I am undergoing a double prophylactic mastectomy (with breast reconstruction and implants) and at the same time, will have them remove my ovaries and tubes. There are other factors that can further complicate the surgery (for instance, if they see something questionable while in there, etc.) but we’re assuming I am extremely healthy and doing this solely for preventative measures.

So why the long, drawn out post, with all these details?  Well, because.

I share everything with you people.

And there is a lesson in all of this for you:  Don’t be too sexy for your genes.  Get screened.

Don’t think you are too good, too healthy, too anything to NOT be screened.  Don’t NOT be screened for any of the wrong reasons.  If you have relatives who’ve suffered from Breast or Ovarian cancer (maybe even Pancreatic or Prostate cancers – ask your doctor), then ask about it and don’t allow FEAR of the unknown, or KNOWN to rule your life.

If you are looking for a conservative approach to life, and want to find a blog that praises you for taking no risks while safely maneuvering through the twists and turns on life’s road – you have come to the wrong place.

Hello!  I am Ms. Cheevious!  Adventurous – Fun – Cute – Cuddly (just making sure you’re still there) – and I really do try with all of my heart to be brave and make BRAVE choices.   Being brave is a choice and bravery is something you must consciously make an effort to practice.

I love life, and I really do – on purpose – take REAL, sometimes SCARY, LIFE-CHANGING RISKS. Not always. But I certainly try not to make choices out of fear.  And yet, somehow I still ENJOY EVERY MOMENT, and I have no regrets.  I truly believe this quote, and I’ve used it before:

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow. What a ride!’ ”

You can do that too, if you so choose.  I’m here to cheer you on.  We are ALL here to cheer you on!

Here’s a tweet you can copy and paste into twitter to encourage others too – especially in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month:

They’re MY boobs, and I’m quite attached! Get screened ladies.  It can save your life! @mscheevious #breastcancerawareness

And guess what?  Now that you’ve made it this far – here is the REAL announcement!  HA!

You’ll soon be able to SEE and HEAR more about this journey, because I’m scheduled to be on an episode of The Doctors with my reconstructive surgeon Dr. Lisa Cassileth, who has a breakthrough procedure for reconstruction after mastectomy, called the Cassileth One-Stage Breast Reconstruction (you can read more about that here). We are taping our episode soon, but check your local listings for The Doctors. COOL, EH!!???  I’m also videoing everything and hope to produce a documentary.  Fingers crossed.

OH and  HEY! Check out my new FACEBOOK APP!  If you are already a member on Facebook (have “like”d it), you can check out the new cool stuff by clicking here (http://www.facebook.com/IamMsCheevious?sk=app_208237022576310) and surf around all the little links and such.  You’ll be able to buy my book when it’s published, as well as other fun Ms. Cheevious inspirations to send to your fun, flirty, brave and daring gal-pals. If you are NOT a member of my Facebook Page, please join! You will love the interactive-ness of it all.  PLUS it’s a great example of a custom Facebook page.  I’ve worked hard on it!

That’s it for now…  Stay tuned!

Love you people!!!  Mmmmmppphhhuuuhhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Prequel to the EXTREME

by

Aren´t you incredibly PROUD of me? I am POSTING messages to you – my lovely people from COSTA RICA! WOW. I´m pretty devoted… (or neurotic, haha)..

But HERE IT IS my gorgeous people. Now do me a big HUGE favor and post comments on YOUTUBE, would you? If you do not see the need to join YOUTUBE and enter this decade, or century, well so be it. But you are missing out on – at the very least – a great conversation piece – – something you can speak of to anyone under 30. HA! So get over there and JOIN so you can JOIN the conversation on my fun videos! 🙂

Here it is. And remember – I’m posting this from another COUNTRY. The LEAST you can do is post comments on youtube! 🙂

Love you people!!!!  Mmmmmmphhhuuuhhhhhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious
