Sunday Snapshot

-
Most of the time I don't do a whole lot of editing to my photos. It's just a personal preference to keep snapshots pretty clean and simple. However, I often spend way too much time just playing with photos, running all sorts of pretty photo actions, turning snapshots of Rory in a play outfit into glamour shots just for the fun of it, but I never save those edited photos or use them.

But this morning (as I sit here at home still in my p.j.'s) I decided a little glam editing session was in order. I used Florabella Colorplay Antique Pink action (100%), Hazy Haze (sheer haze at 75%), and even the Blush brush action to make her little cheeks and lips a little rosier.

Pretty, right?

And the SOOC in case you're interested in seeing how much I actually glammed her up. I used my 70-200 lens for these pictures, and they're always so vibrant. This lens definitely gives me the most color-saturated images. Settings are f2.8, 1/250SS, and 640 ISO; taken early evening.

These are beautiful!!! I don't do a ton of editing of my photos either, but I love to play with edits and actions. And one day I'm going to get brave enough to learn to use my camera in manual mode. That is definitely a goal of mine.

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...

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...

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...
