Poorly Differentiated Adenocarcenoma. Thems big words. Words that will never stop ringing in my ears, but maybe I need to rewind and fill in some gaps. Chris has been suffering from what we thought to be Hepatitis A for over a month now. Early Friday morning, the pain became too much for him so I
THANKFUL FRIDAY
As most of you know by now via Facebook, we have a little sewage backup problem in the basement. Wednesday evening I went down to the basement to retrieve the Christmas decoration boxes and as I opened the door a wave of poop stench wafted in my direction. That’s when I saw the puddle of
LOVE THURSDAY
I’ve been really reluctant to refer to this place as home. Part of the reason is guilt. I worry that if I refer to KCMO as home, I’ll hurt the feelings of my family and friends in my OKC home. But New Year’s day, I just kept thinking how nice it would be to be
ALL WE CAN DO IS KEEP BREATHING
The last thing you want to read is a to-do list of things I need to do. I came home with a mission. First step: clean the house! The Christmas tree is still up. Balls of Hooper hair random roll across the floor like tumbleweeds. Actually, our living room is very much like an old
GUILT OF HAPPINESS
I know I said I was a taking a break from the blog, but here I sit, all alone at the Picasso Cafe, with Internet, a cup a coffee and peace and I thought it seemed like a good time to put some thoughts down. I have to say, this trip hasn’t been everything we
THE YEAR IN PICTURES!
It’s really hard to stay on top of the blogging thing while traveling. So I’ve decided to not beat myself up over it and just give in. I’m taking a blogging break until we get back to KCMO. As a way to mollify you, I’ve put together a lovely slide show of the year in
THANKFUL FRIDAY
Last Thursday, we noticed an ominous sound coming from our brakes. Chris, who is already feeling like crap, feel into deeper doom and gloom mode and my stomach started hurting because I had no idea how to make any of it better, Chris or the brakes. So I asked the guys at work about where
LOVE THURSDAY
Every year when I was little, I’d get an advent calender for the month of December. They were nothing fancy, just colored cardboard. The doors would open up to a scene in a story or a picture of something Christmasy. The advent calender was my favorite thing. In November, I’d start obsessing over what advent
ONE TOE OVER THE LINE
For the life of me I swear that was what they were singing in that song and the only reason I now know it’s “One toke over the line” is because I just looked it up to make sure I had the lyrics right. I did not, but “one toe over the line” fits the
THANKFUL FRIDAY OR THE HOUSE OF ILL
Or as Chris put it “we be illin”. It’s true. The dog is the only healthy organism living in this house at the moment. Well, the plants are still thriving. These are things I’m thankful for. I am thankful that I have things in my home at this moment that do not require medicine. Chris’s
