breaking news!!

The cat's out of the bag!! George will be back for E.R (along with Juliana Marguiles). Not that I watch the show anymore. I haven't really watched since he left (how many years ago was that??). But you can bet I'll be watching soon : )

a way with words...

weather report for today: "It looks like the start time on all this is sometime around noon, maybe a little before, maybe a little bit after. The end time will be sometime around midnight tonight or a little bit after. I don't know that it will be falling heavier at any particular point in time, other than to say that it will gradually increase. The rainfall rate and the snowfall rate will increase from being rather light initially around the early afternoon, then it will pick up through the mid-to-late part of the afternoon," says a local weatherman. Geez. If only we could all get paid the big bucks to have no freaking clue. I don't mean to diss the weather guy, I do love the weather.

oldie but goodie

While working at the Scrap. Store today, I had the oldies station on and heard "Uptown Girl" on the radio. That TOTALLY made my day! I remember having the 45 of that song. (contrary to popular belief, yes I am old enough to know what a 45 is).

Dear 95.7,
The song "Love Shack" is NOT an oldie. But that entire CD by the B-52's does rock. Thanks to my Dad for having the coolest taste in music, I have listened to that CD more times than I can count.

Sincerely,
A gal who is old enough to know

a new page...

I made this page with new Reminisce spring products the store owner gave me to use. I wasn't loving the paper, but I think it turned out really cute!! The pictures are from Easter 2005. It was one of Kaycey's first "big" outings after her chemo had started; a trip to the mall to see the Easter bunny.



I made a St. Patty's Day one, too, but it is hanging up in the store, and I forgot to take a picture of it! I'll see if I can get a picture of it on here this week.

I made the "mistake" of checking our fellow neuroblastoma patients again. I hate to call it a mistake, but it always makes me so sad. It's not the same sadness/worriedness I was feeling a few weeks ago as we were approaching our scans, but just sad that anyone has to have that sort of heartache. I can't even imagine how much harder it is for them than it was for us. And I'm not trying to minimize our hell at all. But they will always have heavy hearts, as they are getting news that there is nothing more the doctors can do, and as their children deteriorate before their eyes. We were fortunate enough to have our heavy hearts lifted. We were and are so blessed with such a miracle, and I should be happy and take comfort in that!

mentally drained

You know, I always wonder about all those celebrities whose tours/interviews get cancelled or postponed because they ended up in a hospital with exhaustion. I always think, really? Go take a nap or something. But seriously, I do get it. I think I am on the brink of 100 % pure exhaustion right now. Too many decisions and things to do while extremely sleep deprived is not something I highly recommended. A vacation would be wonderful. I'm not usually the beach vacation type at all. I'd take Boston or Seattle over a beach any day. But just not today. I've been thinking of taking a yoga class but have never done it before. Not sure that would be equivilant to a beachy vacation right now...

I've always wanted to go to Tahiti...
