Twilight Dolls and Cars

They are making Twilight Dolls!  WOW! Next thing you know they will be making Twilight cars...Own your own set of Twilight MatchBox cars now!  Just kidding, but I do periodically walk through the toy section to see if they have any Twilight Cars hanging on the racks...I am sure the day will come!  Anyway, back to the dolls, here is the link. There aren't any pictures yet, but I am sure they will be coming soon!

Memories

So When i was younger, I don't remember how old, I watched this movie with my mom. It was based on Danelle Steele's Book Fine Things. In the movie, this women gets diagnosed with cancer of some sort and goes through Chemo and loses all her hair...In one of the scenes, the lady is brushing her hair or soemthing and pulls a huge wad of hair out. at the time that I watched this movie, I didn't really understand anything about cancer or the chemo that usually goes along with it. Unforunately, I didn't understand that it was the chemo that made her hair fall out.  I thought that when you have cancer your hair falls out. 

So as I got older and would wash my hair and pull some of it out everytime, I managed to convince myself that I had cancer. It wasn't just 'any cancer' though. It was some sort of cancer that laid dormant for years except for making your hair fall out. Then one day it comes out and you die. Or something like that. I was so scared about it that I didn't want to tell my mom because I thought it would make her sad. Which is also the reason I never told my dad...(news for you eh dad?)  Anyway, as I grew up and learned more about cancer and treatments and so forth, I realized that it was not the cancer that caused hair loss but the chemo. 

Still everytime I wash my hair and 'lose' a little bit more, I think about watching Fine Things with my mother and thinking I had cancer. It makes me laugh pretty good now...why would I keep something like that from my parents. I have no clue. Obviously I wasn't too horribly scared, because life went on. But I was sure that I had cancer and that one day I was just going to not wake up because the cancer came out and I died. It makes for a good laugh now. I look back though and am baffled as to how I managed to keep this fear from my parents...

Anyway, I kept thinking about that lately. And just as a gentle reminder...cancer itself does not cause hair loss. So when you pull your hair out, you can feel a little more at ease!  

:) Here's to funny memories!  Anyone else got any they want to share? 

School Fundrasier...

ALREADY!?!  I didn't think this would happen quite so soon!  So Jaicie is having a fundraiser for school. I am not willing to send her around the neighborhood asking people to buy stuff. And since they have online ordering, I thought we could do things this way. So if you are interested, feel free to buy something. But don't feel any pressure! The info is below. There is cookie and pizzas and pies and pretzels on her catalog that she has, but it doesn't look like that is available online. So let me know if you want to order anything like that...I know that the cookies are great!  Though I don't know how they would be if you don't live in Lubbock.

Because we all could use a good laugh!

So I pulled out the video camera again today...twice in one week, it is a miracle!  I enjoyed making the video of Collin yesterday and wanted to capture a little more of him on video. He has been laughing a little bit more lately. He really likes peek-a-boo...is it a little early for that? I don't know. But regardless it is really cute. Well, Justin has had a busy schedule working the ER for Peds this week. So aside from not seeing much of us because of class, he doesn't get home until 1 in the morning. He has seen Jaicie for all of 10 minutes in the past 2 days. And until Saturday morning will see for about that long. Anyway, He has missed a lot of Collin's laughing so far, and I thought that I should video tape it so he can see it later. So, as long as you can ignore my obnoxiousness on the video (I hate my voice on the film) you are welcome to watch and enjoy Collin and his adorable laugh...It is quite contagious. So if you need a good laugh...Here is one for you. 

Oh yeah, and just for the record being alone in the evening SUCKS! 

OAMC Blog

I know, what is OAMC right?  OAMC is Once-A-Month Cooking...and my sister is a PRO!  She has started a new blog Here And you should definitely take a look at it and follow it as she teaches her secrets! It is well worth it. If I had freezer big enough to store a month worth of cooking in, I would totally do this!  So check it out and follow it...

Another video

Okay, so as I was loading the video of Collin rolling onto my computer, I found that I had missed loading a video of Collin from when he was 2 weeks old. It is crazy how much bigger he is now! I thought I would load this one up too...He is certainly a cutie!

Collin Rolling

So, I blogged before about Collin rolling. So here is the video to go along with that. I took it today and I am horrible at capturing things on video, so please forgive the shakiness of it. Nigel---If you were here, you would have done an amazingly better job of it...but alas, I am here alone and have to do it myself! Hope you enjoy!



It is hard to believe that he is 3 months and 12 days already. It seems to have just flown by. Before i know it he will be graduating high school...AHHHHH. That is scary!
