No News is Good News??

I had my x-ray done on my back last Wednesday and have not received any info (good or bad) about it so I am going to go with everything is ok!  No news is good news in my book.  I figured if there was something wrong they would have surely called me by now.  At least that is what I am telling myself.

I finally had my hair trimmed (thanks Kristi Myers) and am starting to wear the pixie cut with lots of goop in it to keep those curls from going haywire!!  Yes, I said curls, lots of them.  When I don't "style" my hair it looks like Pauly D from Jersey Shore....kind of that "cup or bowl" style that looks like part cactus.  Yuck.  So I use this product called "surf hair".  It's far from looking like surf hair, but it does keep it in a more stylish manner.  I am going to highlight it tonight!!  Wish me luck! 

Palmer came back from Disney World.  If only I would have had my camera ready at the airport.  When Hadley saw Palmer she yelled his name and ran to him for the biggest brother/sister hug I have ever seen....priceless.  They are so cute....yes I am one of THOSE parents...it's makes me want to puke too.   Palmer also gave Hadley a Tangled brush and crown, since she likes that movie so well.  It was really sweet of him to think of her and she wore the crown around for a while then decided that her stuffed animals needed to wear it, so she put it on them. I have such good kids...so lucky.

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving!!!!

Despite all the crap that went down for me this past year, it really seems to have FLOWN by lately!  I took Palmer to the airport on Saturday so he could visit his dad and his family for Thanksgiving.  They are at Disney World right now as we speak!!  Lucky duck. 

I will get my x-ray this week on my back ribs so at least that will be done.  I am beyond sick of doctors...(no offense to my doctors) but seriously....I am sick of you.  I still have my mammo and nipple surgery to think about....yuck.  I will always have a bit of fear getting a mammo now....I think that's fair to admit.  Who wouldn't???

My friend Kristi Myers and fellow BC survivor had shoulder surgery this past week.  I hate to even complain about my small little things that I have to get done as I am sure that was painful!!  Hope you are feeling better Kristi!

On a humorous note....someone better buy Hostess cuz I really don't want to live in a world without Twinkies!  But as long as there is still bacon....

Weight loss....part 2

Well, I am almost half way to my weight loss goal, I have lost 23 lbs so far.  I am trying to get to a 50 lbs weight loss but one day at a time, I love food wayyyyy too much to be there in just a few weeks!!  So I am hoping that by early summer (swimsuit season) that I can be at my goal!!  I feel so much better and have a lot more energy.  And my clothes fit, that is such a bonus!

Had my 3 month check up yesterday and all was great with my vitals and blood work.  I am full of nutrients so far!! Yay!!  I have to go get an xray next week as I have a sore spot on my left side near my back rib.  I have had that sore spot since chemo ended but thought it was just from surgeries, but I still have it, so to be safe they are going to check out the bone.  I am sure it's just arthritis....like everything else on my body!!! 

My baby boy Palmer leaves to go see his dad for Thanksgiving and go to Disney World....what a lucky duck!!!  I will miss him.  I am looking forward to some R&R during Thanksgiving.  I am not even going to look at a mall......I am not a Black Friday shopper at all. 

We went to a wedding this weekend.  Congratulations Brittany and Brady Myers!! It was so fun.  Here is a picture of Hadley in her wedding attire:

Still waiting for my 3 month check up

They cancelled my 3 month check up that was suppose to be Nov 1st as Dr. Singh had something he had to do at the hospital and someone accidentally scheduled my appt at the same time.  So they moved me to Nov. 12th.  I am not stressing out about it so far.  I feel good, so hopefully that is a great sign!!  I have been trying to figure out all the times that I have gone to the dr. for tax purposes....yay for medical mileage!!!  Thank goodness for this blog...it's like a written video tape of my appointments and it was so nice to be able to look something up so easy.  And who said it wasn't a GOOD thing that I am an over-sharer?!

More pictures!!

Here is Palmer in his Auburn gear.  He is an Auburn fanatic!  I would say he is a pretty good fan since they are not very good this year, he is very loyal, good or bad!!  Kind of like me and the Iowa Hawkeyes...curses that they are so bad this year too!!

And here is Miss Hadley goofing off at Grandma and Grandpa's house right before Halloween.  She didn't wear them for very long as there were tootsie rolls that needed to eaten by her, as well as all the other candy in Grandma's house.  Can we say sugar high??
