Just a recipe on how to make lemonade ...

Hi! I am Elvi. I live, work and play in New York City. Initially I started this blog to share my experiences with the world about my breast cancer diagnosis and the chemotherapy afterwards, but now (knock knock on wood) I just write about my everyday life encounters. I believe, that every experience in life can be turned into a positive one, hence the title ... When life gives you lemons make lemonade! (And I've made lots of it already!)

En quatro

Second of February: TURTLE, TURTLE

Before I start ... I feel like I should apologize for this blog entry and copy Mahbubi's exact words .. VOILA ..

"I don't usually fall for the chain letter gimmicks - in fact they annoy me - even when it was a novelty - so its a little out of character for me to do this - but it looked interesting. I saw it here. What they started is a series of questions of that are answered in four's. It is a nice insight into the person that writes them, and then at the end you tag (nominate) four other people to do the same. I figured since I don't know any of them, they probably won't tag me - so I started my own. Now, don't worry, your luck is not going to abandon you if you don't do it - and neither are you going to win fortunes if you do, but it would be nice if you played along :) (you know who you are :)"

Now you just figured out that I am one of "who you are" ... so on a chance that reversed psychology actually works I am doing it in a hope to win fortunes and good luck ...

Four jobs I've had:
