Cancer Sucks (but we can still laugh)

One of the many t shirts declaring war on breast cancer.
A confident dog.

This man feels very comfortable about his manliness or very strongly about boobs. Either way, Bravo!

Turn your head to the side.
See it?
It reads: Of course they're fake. 
The real ones tried to kill me.


One of these things is not like the other. 
One of these things gets put in a box every night.
I did not take a picture of my mother's boobs.
That would just be weird.
{Maybe just one little picture}
The cancer survivor is Misty, the blonde. I used to babysit her when she was 3. She found her lump shortly after she stopped breastfeeding her 4th child. She was 32.

The one on the left is my sister.

Go get your mammogram! It's the best time you'll have all year!

Lisa. I hear you. You're in my head. Knock it off.

    You know what I like about your blog? How I can be crying about one thing you wrote and then laughing about another. Great sense of humor even with the serious stuff. I like that about you. I'm turning 32 this year and I'm thinking I need a good time. ;)

    Taken out of context that just doesn't look good does it? Ha, ha.

    I like being in your head. It's pretty.

    My step sister is 34 and engaged to be married the first time this summer. She found a lump, had a biopsy, then a lumpectomy. However, they ended up to a radical masectomy and then some, it had gone into her lymph nodes. She now gets chemo and radiation, and a hopeful chance at a very young age. I thing I'd rather have my boobs squished than go through all that.

    I am walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-day in San Diego. This post has some funny stuff in it--I love the t-shirts. AND I just got an idea about what to wear......

The Most Dreaded Words

 Everybody knows that Christmas is about keeping the Santa Secret and pleasing your children. Therefore, the most dreaded words are uttered on Christmas Eve. "I changed my mind, I want a [pony, scooter, bike, Red Rider BB gun]" A close second place winner is, "Can I have a New Year's Eve party?" Then, "Me, too?"

Too Sick to be Sick

I am sick.  Really and truly sick.  I even took a sick day and felt no guilt whatsoever that maybe I wasn't sick enough to have a "sick day."  Because I am.  My 5 year old was sick, too so I took him to the doctor.  I refuse to acknowledge that I'm sick because I don't get sick.  So with absolute glee, my little boy climbed up onto the table, stuck out his tongue and conversed with the doctor.  I heard something about cloudy ears and antibiotics and then I just turned it off. It hurts when sound reaches my eardrums. We drove back home, I turned on the television, brought in the dog, and let the babysitting begin.  I crawled back into bed and swam somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness.  The kids came home from school.  I might have acknowledged them.  I made chicken noodle soup from scratch.  I couldn't even think.  My husband caught me in a sway and asked what he could do.  I grunted some terse instructi...

What We Eat

Check out the good looking crew.  Just to clarify.  I'm the pretty one. There's a little mountain resort in Northern Utah that is invaded every July by this group of people. We are an intimidating bunch. 5 years ago my brother brought his Nepalese bride to the United States.  She lived in a country where she had no expectation to ever drive a car.  She bought her food daily from the market and ate it.  She taught English, although her accent was so strong when she arrived I questioned her grasp of the language.  We tried to be friendly and accepting.  We ended up scaring the daylights out of her. She thought we were crazy.  Her words, not mine. Although I think she tolerated me a little better than the others because I had the brand new fair-haired baby that she continued to steal.  She wanted a blond haired, blue eyed baby and wondered what her chances were now that she married an American. We take turns cooking for the family dinners. ...
