Re: More Progression
Add my Yay to the chorus!!
First - Tumor markers dropping...WooHoo! In fact, any good news call from an onc...double Woo Hoo!!
And, reduced coughing has to be such a relief!
Sexy wig...AWESOME...but hey, what doesn't look sexy on someone whose tumor markers are dropping? I mean really...the inner glow must be dazzling!
So what shade are your new long locks?
What do your girls think?
When can we expect a photo shoot?
Now, as to the AFL thing...I get the passing, and the differently shaped ball...but I'm off to google the circular field. Even Quidditch can't boast a circular field! I was just getting used to my guys being CFL fans (Canadian Football League), and learning those rules...
I even tolerate their fixation with the whole World Cup Extravaganza.
I don't think they're aware of this circular field thing though...I'm pretty sure that would have been too much for them to resist.
They do watch the NFL but our team, the Eagles, has had a bit of a rough patch, on and off the field...so the bloom is off that rose a little in our house.
As an aside...my eldest has embraced rugby. He's built for it, for sure. And I like to think that my Irish heritage is the reason his mind and body are so suited to the game. Read that...he's built solid as a fire plug and is stubborn as a mule! His speed and grace on the field are most definitely NOT attributable to me in any way though. Unless it skips a generation, like baldness...those qualities definitely come through his Dad!
I hope the wedding is fabulous! And, really...maybe a picture or two of your new "do" might just show up here?
Stay happy!
Denise
