Oh my gosh, Kim. I didn't read your post before I wrote mine. I was planning to come back later for personals... I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying for comfort and strength. That is so tragic, I really have no words. That's the worst thing I can think of.

Hey everybody! I've spend the last week sulking. Let me tell you something about cancer, even the easy kind: it has a way of sucking out all your mojo and leaving you incapable of doing anything but playing zynga games. If you're me, that is. But I have STUFF going on and I must snap out of it...

It's oatmeal that you bake! LOL. Here's my favorite recipe, although today I made it with blueberries, red raspberries, and apple instead of the chocolate chips. http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/03/15/cookie-dough-baked-oatmeal/

Gooooood morning, everybody! I woke up this morning feeling like I can actually be productive, which is nice because I've felt like I just didn't have the energy to do anything the last week or so. Which is REALLY BAD, because of school and because I have lots of stuff coming up starting in...

Hi everybody! I've been shamefully antisocial. But my family is back, and now it's like somebody hit the reset button and I'm back again! Now I just need some mojo juice! Speaking of "juice," Chris remind me, I want to put in an order for spray!! A friend of mine sent me this "pillow...

Hi, all! I've been quiet. Just sort of recovering from my procedure and being ALL ALONE, which is soooo weird, I can't even tell you. I already said this all, right? Ugh I'm super out of it today. Yesterday I was all awake and alert all day long, painting, and doing chores and just having a...

Hi everybody! My biopsy was yesterday. It didn't go exactly as planned. I got to watch, which was kind of awesome, because I enjoy knowing what's going on. Knowledge > guessing any day for me. They had a computer screen where I could see exactly what's going on. The good news is that, although...

Yeah, that is some kind of awesome! Love that it's on Puffnstuff!

HA! Yeah, exactly. Same here. But, you know what, I prefer being like I am to being boring and commonplace.

You guys crack me up with your hating idiots. I call them NPC's- non-player characters, to you people who have never played role-playing games. Means people who are just place-holders, rather than fully functioning individuals. I've learned to deal with them, mostly. I was identified as...

Ahhh, Laurie, sorry to hear about that. What a hassle! Ugh! Hope it's over with soon. Phyllis- indeed. Out with it. My primary care person said that I need it because it holds up my bladder. But I pick Poise pads over this any day!

Good morning everybody! I see that some folk have school pictures as avatars for back to school so I just quick in a hurry put my senior picture up! Chris, no good. I'm so sorry that it seems like everything is just fresh in your mind like that. Hugs and pixie dust for a better day. Laurie, I...

It's fall, 2011 and I am officially obsessed with leaves. It's true. I used.. wow, a lot of things. The background paper is from In the Moment Papers by NRJ, the paper on top of that was made with my photo and Mixed 3 Madness Workshop by NRJ, the paper leaves are from Leaf Palooza by NRJ, the...

Today is NIGEL TUFNEL day! (please tell me you know what that means) so Walt is wearing an appropriate t-shirt. He also rocked so hard that he passed out right in his high chair. I only wish his rockin' dad could have been around to witness his dancing and playing. Or anything. It's also...

That is so freakin cute!!

Wow, I can't wait!

Good morning everybody! I'm just breezing by this morning. Normally, Clara brings Addie over on Thursday mornings, but she's not feeling well this morning (FEEL BETTER, CLARA!) so I have some time I didn't think I'd have. But I have to do finals stuff for my class right now. Blah. I will be busy...

I did this last year. Okay, here we go. It's the third, I'll do three today: 1. I am happy to have a husband who loves me. I know the two should go hand in hand, but clearly they don't always do that. So I'm grateful to be one of the lucky ones. 2. I'm grateful to have great kids. They aren't...

Hey, everybody! First off, I wanted to apologize for being such a negative nelly yesterday. I don't like how complainy I was, and I'm sorry. Being positive brings positive back, and usually I try to do that, but I was off my game yesterday. Anyhow, enough of that! I made a big crock pot of...

Chris- I saw "kid shave school," and I was like, does she have somebody in barber college? Hahaha! I hate delayed openings too. On Wednesdays here, every Wednesday, the kids have early release, one hour early. It sucks, every single Weds. Oh, and I see now that you'd already had the oatmeal bath...
