Last one, I promise
Ok, those who know me know of my weird obsession with vampires, although it's been waning lately (thank you Brian). So, I take this quiz, and am even less interested in vampires. Stupid quizzes
Might as well
Ok, while I'm at it . . . .
You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)
Which Disney Princess Are You?
You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)
Thoughtful and loving. Authority figures probably have been sheltering you all of your life. Thankfully you're a very tranquil person who is content with what life has given you, but secretly you want to know how the outside world works.
Which Disney Princess Are You?
I'm Bugged!
Ok, just a quick note. There are a million things on the internet for people to play with and then post on their blog. Normally, I would avoid these things, but I'm bored. So I took the "What Flavor are You?" quiz. And I'm not happy with my result
I hate vanilla ice cream

Happy Birthday Chris!
Today is our friend Chris' birthday. As I type, he and Brian are playing Wii. We went out to dinner tonight and got fabulous food at Mimi's. It's a shame that the service at Mimi's is so terrible, because the food is so good. Maybe that is why the servers are so lazy--they know we'll be back for the food.
Anyway, Brian and I made a cake for Chris for his birthday. Chris has a Vespa, and he loves his Vespa. So, we made him a Vespa themed cake. We're quite proud of it. Happy Birthday Chris!!

Ok, I know I'm in trouble
I know that I'm in trouble when I hear from more than one of my family members that I need to blog. First of all, I find this ironical, because it's not like I don't talk to them, usual with some frequency. Secondly, why would reading my ramblings online be more appealing than spending an evening in the chaos I call my home? Maybe it is that innate fear of my home that makes reading these words on the vast interweb a safe experience. Who knows.
Anyway, it's been a while since I blogged and not a whole lot has changed. Brian is still working for the University, I'm still working for a lawyer. We both like our jobs, mostly because they keep us busy and our days go by quickly. The down side to this is that the days keep going by. I can hardly believe that it's mid-November. Oh, well. Such is life.
Gwen is still spectacular. She's actually perched next to me right now, breathing her wheezy little breathes right in my ear. Her lioness cut is starting to fade, so I think I need to get the clippers out. Howie is still stupid. He latest thing is to roll all over the floor. If he sees you coming toward him down the hall, he drops to his side and wiggles back and forth. He's really waiting for you to rub his belly with your foot, and I usually indulge him.
Speaking of indulging, Brian had a birthday about a month ago. He got Rock Band for the Wii. Yes, I swore it would never happen. I gave in and got it for him for two reasons: 1-I love him and I know he really wanted it; and B-he kept bugging me about it. My favorite was when he "conceded" and said he would be ok if we kept some of the equipment in our shed in Lake Shore. A couple of days before his birthday he called me at work and I listened to a 20 minute speech he had prepared about how he could make it work to have Rock Band. By the time he was done with his speech, he had actually talked himself out of it. The box was sitting in my trunk as I had purchased the dumb thing about 2 hours before this phone call. He's funny. We have a good time playing and our friends have thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I'm at the point where I need to open up some new songs, cause I'm getting bored!
I had an appointment with my favorite oncologist, Dr. Prystas. I mention this only because it was a momentous occasion. In August, I hit the 5 year anniversary of my diagnosis. So, seeing Dr. Prystas this last time was my graduation from seeing her every six months to only once a year. It's bittersweet. I love all the great people at that office and enjoy a chance to see them. But it's also nice to think that I'm healthy (relatively). I think the three people that will read this blog knew me through that horrible time. ( Yes, Mel, you are one of those three.) So, for all your support, then and now, I will be eternally grateful. I feel so blessed to have so many great people in my life that were there to take care of me when I was so sick. Sometimes I wonder how we got through it. (Mom, you really are the best!)
Ok, well that's the big update. Sorry that this wasn't funnier.
