Tuesday's Tidbits

"Hey, mama. You want to hear my Chinese English? Uno, dos, tres . . . " from Rory.

Rory's story yesterday morning: And once upon a time, there was a little man named God. He loved everybody. Even his enemies and a little girl named Rory.

Somehow forgot to mention Camden's first 1st grade report card: 100, 100, 99 and two Pass+. Sure wish he'd try a little harder.

So we let the kids watch the new Karate Kid movie and any guesses as to their new favorite past-times? Camden's is kung fu and Rory's is being the mom and bossing Dre around. So not kidding.

When Camden lost his top front tooth, he developed a little lisp. It is hilarious!

Because it's election day, Brian's school is closed and he's home with Rory and I. We're dragging him to the grocery store after we vote. We used to always shop together, but then Camden came along, and then Rory. Then he picked up a second job and I dropped one so it's a rare occasion to have company on my grocery shopping trips these days.

There are two new sneak peeks up since last week. :)

And this is what my desk looks like these days with two computers that are both giving me fits. I need computer recommendations, and don't just say a Mac or PC. I need specifics, people.

We have the iMac and LOVE it! We've had it almost two years. Took me a month or so to get used to it, but it hasn't locked up, shut down or had a single *virus*. I will never go back to a PC. : )

I have an iMac that I got a year ago. I *love* it! I haven't had any problems with it. I have a large monitor, and love it for editing photos (when I actually have the time) and scrapping (again, when I have the time) ... I do miss having a laptop that I can use anywhere, and have been thinking/dreaming about getting a MacBook Pro so that I could use it anywhere. Like Joy, I will never go back to a PC.

OK, your kids never cease to crack me up!!!

I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro, and an Air. (I know, it's a serious problem) The fave is the Air to edit on, I can situate myself so that there is no glare with that vs. the desktop. Make sure you calibrate the monitor though (I'd have to g00gle it to tell you how to do that) and have it set for adobeRGB... otherwise things go WIGGY.

Great Gradma E thinks we have a REAL author in the making with Rory. Such imagination! Fiction, of course.

The Scoop

Our meeting with Dr. W today was fine. Not encouraging, but fine. I don't know why I expected better news, but I think it's hard not to hope that the bad news you hear is somehow wrong; that they've somehow made a mistake. Basically, the cancer is still the same as prior to chemo. Possibly a little larger, but he said it was hard to tell. He was glad that it had not returned to my bowel or colon (because that was a large part of my initial surgery), and my chest and lungs are still clear (apparently, this is the next place the cancer would go). It does not change my stage of cancer (still 3c), and remission is still a possibility, but he said that it would be very tough to get there.  There are several more drugs that we can try, which is good, but unfortunately they each have a success rate of only 25%. It's a little too early to be considering clinical trials because hospitals who hold the trials like for the patients to have tried the more main-stream drugs firs

1. Thanks to Andrea for driving me to chemo today. I'm always a little anxious on the way in and the very few times I've had to drive myself, it's been a little lonely coming home. But not today. 2. A fellow chemo patient today thought I was in my 20's. Score.  ("score" would be a term I'm borrowing from Becky ) 3. I did not wear a scarf today to chemo, and all the nurses and doctors did a double take since they didn't recognize me. So wierd. I recognize me with hair, bald, and with a little puppy fluff. 4. Dr. W. is adding Avastin , a new drug which will help prevent cancer cells from growing, to my current Gemzar routine. Good news is that it won't make me feel any worse. Bad news is that in a small percentage of patients it causes severe side effects involving blood clots, kidney failure, ulcers, and holes in your bowel. Good times. 5. I've been instructed to head directly to my primary care doctor for blood pressure medic

Scenes from the Soccer Field

So I may not have apologized yesterday about the number of pictures, but I am definitely going to today. Because  coughcough thirty coughcough just might be excessive. And probably my family will be the only ones who look at all of them. But I don't care. :) By the way, we completely lost and did not even score a goal yet again. Rory tried really, really hard. This team was head and shoulders bigger than we are, way more coordinated than 4 year olds should be and their coach kept their A team in the entire game. Even after scoring some 15 goals. Oh, well. Rory still enjoyed herself. Which way is the goal again? Notice her position in this picture. Notice how she passed the girl next to her? No, I am not competitive at all. Not sure where the other team is. Oh, wait. There they are. See how much bigger they are? You'll notice she almost always runs with her mouth open. Either that or her tongue hang
