My Sister's Bridal Shower is Tomorrow!

September 6, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: family | Leave a Comment

 
Tomorrow is my sister’s bridal shower and the theme is Frog Prince. It should be a fun time! I will take a zillion pictures and I’m sure have a few scrappy pages from the day!
I also made her a card…it’s not frog prince, although, I may look through my kits and see if I have something that’s frog prince in theme. I made her a card because all the bridal cards are mushy and cheesy and we’re not about all of that…although, I didn’t make it funny or anything, it’s kind of mushy…LOL but it says what I want it to.

I think it came out nice. On the inside it will say: 
Wishing you and your prince nothing but the best and  “Happily Ever After”.

I have to print the “Frog Prince” story on paper for the favors. We maybe have taken this theme a bit too far! LOL Well, our motto is “Everything in Excess”. I need to make a word art that says that! LOL Only people in my family will get it, but that’s ok.

Ok…enough froggy things already!

Yesterday the hubbs and I went to Costco to order my sister’s cake (ok, I lied…one last froggy thing) and then we went to Target and BK for dinner. We were gone maybe 2 hours. We came home to the BIGGEST mess!!! That damn dog got into the trash AGAIN!!! UGH! We need a better solution! I’m about to get a metal can that he cannot tip over…even with this one we have that has a LOCK, he’s still managing to get into it. He’s a stinker.

So we had a bit of cleaning to do prior to eating…prior to doing anything really.

The cutest thing happened in the midst of the mess. I see Razzle is ALL in one of the bags…well we picked up these “catnip sticks” at Target in the Halloween pet section and he had pulled them out of the bag and was playing with them! kicking it with his feet and biting at the packaging. It was so funny. There are 4 little sticks in the package and they have little skeletons on them. Below are a few pictures of Razzle and Malcolm playing with them today.

 
If you see these at Target, pick them up! Your kitties will LOVE them!! Ours went nuts when we gave them to them last night!!

Please Pray For My Cousin!

September 5, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: family | Leave a Comment

My cousin is really sick right now. She has familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) which is a hereditary disease she got from her father. Her intestines are full of polyps, she’s had her colon removed, she has a tumor that they cannot remove or even shrink and I just found out that she’s back in the hospital for sepsis.

Here’s a blurb on FAP from the NIH:

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder characterized by cancer of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. People with the classic type of familial adenomatous polyposis may begin to develop multiple noncancerous (benign) growths (polyps) in the colon as early as their teenage years. Unless the colon is removed, these polyps will become malignant (cancerous). The average age at which an individual develops colon cancer in classic familial adenomatous polyposis is 39 years. Some people have a variant of the disorder, called attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis, in which polyp growth is delayed. The average age of colorectal cancer onset for attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis is 55 years.

In people with classic familial adenomatous polyposis, the number of polyps increases with age, and hundreds to thousands of polyps can develop in the colon. Also of particular significance are noncancerous growths called desmoid tumors. These fibrous tumors usually occur in the tissue covering the intestines and may be provoked by surgery to remove the colon. Desmoid tumors tend to recur after they are surgically removed. In both classic familial adenomatous polyposis and its attenuated variant, benign and malignant tumors are sometimes found in other places in the body, including the duodenum (a section of the small intestine), stomach, bones, skin, and other tissues. People who have colon polyps as well as growths outside the colon are sometimes described as having Gardner syndrome.

She’s my age and I’m worried about her. Her father and a half brother have died from this and she has another half brother and sister who have it. She’s had numerous operations.

I hope she can pull through this, but I’m afraid she won’t. She has a son and she’s the sweetest person. She’s been through so much.

Praying folks…please keep my cousin in your thoughts and prayers. She could really use them right now!
Thanks!

Sweat Shop Sunday!

August 24, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: family | Leave a Comment

I probably shouldn’t say “sweat shop”, but that’s what we call things in my family…cookie sweat shop, invitation sweat shop…ebay sweat shop…what have you.

So in a couple hours I am meeting my mom and sister to do some crafty things and put together the favor bags for my sister’s shower. Then we’re all going to dinner for my dad’s birthday…which is Monday.

I should bring my camera…to document this blessed occasion. haha

Moving on…my cats are driving me batty!!!! They are total beggars, worse than the dogs. They have food in their bowls, but still they are begging for people food. We have two cats that will take it right from your plates/hands if you let them!! bad kitties!! I hate a begging dog…but I hate a beggin cat worse and we have the beggingest cats around!!!

And Malcolm, he’s the worse…little shit gets into absolutely everything. And he knows he’s being bad too, he all hunkers down if you say his name…but still he keeps coming back and doing what you just yelled at him and shooed him away for! Bad kitty!
