News and fun in Provo

Well, my parents met with the radiologist to learn the preliminary results from his MRI, and it is not good. The cancer has spread and has attached to his adrenal gland, lung, and possibly lymphnode. The appointment with the oncologist will tell us about treatments or how much time he has left.

On a lighter note, I went to Provo today and helped Mom organize some stuff. In the process I found my wedding dress that they are storing for me. I tried it on and IT FITS AGAIN!!!! YAY!!! I am going to have to post a picture on facebook. That gave me a nice boost to my self-esteem. I am looking forward to the day when it will be too big!

Just another day

So I am here at work blogging because there is a dance assembly and I am bored. Hopefully this will turn into something at least half interesting. I have been playing the Weird Al song "Ebay" for the kids this week and they love it! It's so much fun to tell them that some classical composers would take another composers piece of music and rewrite it as a sign of respect, then after I tell them that I start the cd so they expect a dusty old composer. It makes me laugh when they realize that it is a parody of a backstreet boys song!

So Josh and I were trying to do our taxes last night and didn't have much success. We are having to itemize because of all the lessons and ebay selling I did last year. Most likely I am going to be going down to Provo tomorrow to have my Dad help us. Josh has to work tomorrow, so I may as well see my family instead of sit at home alone.

Dad had his MRI yesterday, and we will find out if the cancer is still there next week. Keep him in your prayers, we need all the faith we can get. But on a lighter note he has decided that no matter what the results are that he wants to go to disneyland. So we are going around the 16th of march. I am VERY excited!!! I am such a kid when it comes to disneyland!

Well, I think I am about out of ideas for today, so I hope everyone has a great day!!

Musings

Well, I think I am at the last stage of this awful stuff. Now instead of coughing my brains out, I am just weak and tired. I can live with that.

I just made a playlist (if you haven't already noticed). And I changed my background. I like to redecorate a lot so sorry if it bugs anyone.

I am imagining that it is the middle of summer. I REALLY HATE BEING COLD!!!
I know I can't really do anything about that but be patient. Not one of my strong points. I was lying in bed the other morning and it was really warm because we had turned up our heat due to me being sick. I laid there just wishing that when I looked out the window that everything would be green and sunny. Well wishing without a star never does any good, so you all know how that turned out. I just miss the light and warmth and birds, and outdoor activities. I suppose it just makes me more grateful for summer when it is here.

Why is it that nothing fun comes in the mail? All that ever comes is bills and junk. I do get the occasional invite, but no other fun stuff like cards, money, letters etc. Bills are lame and I hardly even skim the junk. I swear that just by not sending me junk mail there would be a whole tree a week that didn't need to be cut down. LOL!!

Well, here I am at home again because I just cannot shake this bronchitis. I was up half the night coughing. LAME!!

I drove Josh to work this morning, because his car is still on the fritz and I need to go get some food for us today. So I'll be picking him up from work and taking him to his classes tonight too. I have no idea what is wrong with his car, but oh well, we'll figure it out eventually.

I listed one of the dresses I made on ebay last night. I tried it on so that we could take a picture, and it just looked AWFUL on me. That size used to look nice and proportioned, but I suppose clothes just don't fit as well when you lose 40lbs. LOL! So I just had to lay the dress on the bed to take pictures. I hope someone wants to buy it because I need a new serger, and the cheapest one that I can find new is $175. Ouch. I know. But I will do a lot more selling if I have one.

Well, that is the uniteresting life of Marie today.
