We also updated her room this weekend with Minnie Mouse Wall decals! She helped me put them up! She had to put the Daisy sticker right next to Minnie so that "Minnie wouldn't be lonely". She's very thoughtful.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I feel like every year is a big year. 2011 was a big bad
year (heart attack & cancer). 2012 was a year of change - changing the way
I live. At work I’m much more relaxed – It’s just a job people!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s been noticed and commented on by some
office friends. I don’t get stressed out when things don’t happen or move
forward. I roll with the punches. I know that work, just doesn’t really matter.
Now, anyone who knows me knows that I still give 110% at work, but I definitely
have a different attitude about work.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We bought a new house. Taking a big loss on our old house
but rationalizing that we’re buying in a down market. And it was worth it. I
love this house!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We didn’t love the old
house. To quote my husband (whenever we’ve shopped for home things the past 2
weeks) “Do you love it? If you only like it and don’t love it we’re not buying
it. We’re doing it right this time”. We have a beautiful rug under our desk
chair as a result!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At home, I think I’ve done my normal of trying to do as much
fun stuff as possible. I’ve never been a stay-at-home girl so we’re always out
and about. And now there’s always a little thought in the back of my mind that
things can change really fast so enjoy <u>every minute</u> while you can. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every minute of this sweet girl and my
relationship with a loving man.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mary Oliver said in a poem </span><i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">What are
you doing with your one precious wild and crazy life?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m not doing anything very interesting. I’m not curing
disease, solving world hunger or negotiating world piece. I’m taking care of <u>MY</u>
one precious life. By having a good time and trying to enjoy everything. Snow
that was fluffy. Beach vacations. Everything, big and small. I look forward to more of that in 2013!</span></div>

It was Halloweentime (yes, everything has "time" attached to it). Then Halloweentime was over and it was Thanksgivingtime. So this morning when she asked about presents I said "Christmas time is over!"! I'm already itching to get the tree down. There was quite a few decorative items we never unpacked because we immediately put up Christmas decorations. I'd like to do that and get settled here.<br />

Christmas Eve was spent at my moms. Cassidy enjoyed playing with her cousins. Which was good since they're 8 and 12 years older than her! She's the only little one in the family.</div>

Everytime she see's Santa she asks "where's my present?" I've talked about how Christmas is not all about presents and it's about spending time with people you love. And she says "yeah, where's my present?"<br />
<br />
Santa visited her school Friday so I brought her. She didn't look happy. She said that she was happy though when she saw the picture. She also said a book was "always what she wanted for Christmas"<br />

She's touched and looked at all the presents under the tree. One of hers is round and I found her sitting on it watching tv yesterday!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today we went to the playground after running some errands. It was only 37 degrees but sunny and not too windy. There was no one else there so that was awesome. We both went down all the slides. Even the big ones! She shot down some of the big ones so fast she landed on her butt at the bottom!</div>

She is talking up a storm and comes out with some funny stuff. We made cookies for Santa this morning. So after the playground I ask her what she wanted for lunch? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She says "cookies"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I say "no, we don't eat cookies for lunch, that's not healthy"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She says "mommy, you're ruining my perfect day"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
WHAT? She repeated it a bunch of times. It was really hard not to laugh. I don't know where she gets this stuff.</div>

Things went wrong a few days before causing us to change all of our plans. but I'm not going to dwell on that.<br />
We moved with lots of our own backbreaking labor! Big thanks to Lenny, Lisa, Keith & Devahanna for helping us move. And my parents for watching Cassidy and Jake and helping us unpack!<br />

The house is so big. It's great! I almost can't believe we live here. I never imagined we'd be able to buy a brand new house. We're having awesome dance parties in the kitchen!</div>

I was unsure because it's still so short. But it was many different lengths so it was a little crazy. After talking to my hairdresser I decided to bring her. Oddly, her hair looked pretty good that day.<br />

She was definitely nervous but she didn't cry at all and she did really really well. I was very proud of her! After she was very silly at home so all further pictures are blurry (well, most of my pictures are blurry lately - she doesn't sit still!).</div>

Meanwhile we're busy packing and buying things for the new house. You don't think about the things a brand new house doesn't come with. Window shades, curtain rods, toilet paper holders... we've been really busy. The move is in 11 days!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for most of the same things
everyone is thankful for, health, family, friends and pets. Every day is an
opportunity to laugh and enjoy life. That’s what I try to do and I’m doing a
pretty good job at it. I never worried that I would die from cancer, but even the remotest possibility made <u>this</u> life so much more precious. Life is great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3 weeks until we move so I'm hoping to get some packing done this long weekend!</span></div>

After we went out to lunch. On the drive home I said something about being tired and Cassidy chimes in from the backseat "I'm not tired, I'm not tired" and not 5 minutes later she's sleeping. LOL. </div>

We were nervous about the age of our roof but apparently it wasn't an issue. We did test positive for Radon (slightly) so we do have to pay to have that fixed. They are coming today.<br />
<br />
We are buying a house that we can see from our house. Right around the corner! It's brand new. Just built this summer! We're getting excited!<br />

"Mommy is it Halloween time?" <br />
Practicing trick-or-treating in the house - you knock 9 times on the office door (9 times because thats the secret code on Team UmiZoomi which she's obsessed with) and she gives rocks for treats. We practiced saying "Trick-or-Treat" very loud (which for her is a normal persons volume)!<br />
<br />
We carved Jack-o-lanterns a few days before Halloween.<br />

I didn't imagine it would sell in six days. It went on the market on a Monday. We didn't allow showings until Wednesday. We had 7 showings between Wed and Sunday and an open house on Sunday. By Sunday night we had 2 offers! You would think with that activity we would've gotten asking price but we didn't. But we never expected to so we're okay with it. The buyer is having their home inspection tomorrow so hopefully that goes smoothly with very little findings. <br />
<br />
The house we liked sold the same day ours did. We were pretty disappointed. We went out house hunting with the realtor already and have some prospects.<br />
<br />
In the meantime it's been busy with staying out of the house and I can't believe how few pictures I've taken in the last 2 months. I feel really lucky that Cassidy is so laid back. The first day we had 3 showings. After school we went over to my cousins house to kill time. She ate dinner and played there. We headed home only to people still looking at the house. She was very cool about it. We parked down the street and chatted for almost 15 minutes waiting for them to leave. She's a trooper and its nice that she's so easygoing.<br />

The weather was a bit cool and drizzly but at least no downpours. My mom walked the whole 5 miles! And at the end she said "Next year will be better weather". So I guess we're walking again next year.<br />
<br />
It was a nice time and as a group we raised approximately $800! <br />

Really busy. We decided, kind of spur-of-the-moment, to try to sell our house. We will absolutely take a loss on it but with interest rates so low we could have a bigger mortgage for not too much extra a month. And new houses in our town suddenly are in our price range. So we're going to see what happens. Our fingers are crossed that our house sells fast because many of our things are already packed as a result of staging! <br />
<br />
Last weekend we packed (Thanks Renee for letting us put stuff in your basement and thanks to Keith for coming over and helping!). We did minor repairs. We cleaned. We donated and threw away a lot of things! We packed some more.<br />

In addition to all the work we did on the house, we squeezed in a trip to Topsfield Fair. Which wasn't much fun. Too crowded for us. We made a mental note to always take a day off and go midweek in the future. We did however pet some donkeys and cows so that always makes me happy. Oh and of course Cassidy went on the Merry-go-Round. Twice.</div>

It's not going to be easy to live like this. We are very lucky that Cassidy is very laid back. We cleared out so much of our basement that we were able to put our spare couch down there and make a little playroom. She's so cute when she asks if she can go play in the basement. I really hope it sells fast. There's a couple houses in town we'd love to buy.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One year ago I had surgery to removed cancer from my body.
It seems like a bad dream now. I hope to never see that waiting room and those
surgeons again. All lovely people but a place I never want to re-visit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A place I wish no women ever had to visit!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In this month of October the pink ribbon is everywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was lucky that I pay attention to my
body and noticed right away when something was wrong – not everyone does. So if the pinkness of October reminds someone to get a
mammogram or to go get that lump checked, then let October be pink! I am the
shining example of how early detection can make a big difference in treatment.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next weekend I, along with family and friends, are walking
in the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk in Boston. I’ve raised $465!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I heard about this charity walk last year. It
was the week of my surgery and my cube neighbor, an older man, put a card and
his pin from the walk on my desk. The pin is pink and says “I walk in honor
of…” and you write in a person’s name. He had written my name.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Also it’s the American Cancer Society behind this charity
event and I used their services last year. When I was freaking out in the weeks
leading up to my surgery I needed someone to talk to who had been through this.
I think it was easier to talk to a stranger. Roberta called me weekly for about
a month and a half, starting before my surgery and ending when I got my pathology
results that I wouldn’t need chemo. She was matter of fact and told me step by
step how I’d feel after surgery, a week later, two weeks later etc. It made me feel better. It
was a big help and I want to give back to that organization. If you’d like to
donate the link to my fundraising page is below</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I’ve been to Florida
for work two weeks in a row. I’m hoping for no travel in October. I’m feeling a
little burnt out. I don't mind it and I 100% think me travelling strengthens Bill and Cassidy's bond. Two weeks in a row was too much though. I did get some jogging done in FL and saw some lovely sunrises over the bay.</span></span></div>

to October! It’s hard to believe that a year ago I was a stressed out mess
worrying about my upcoming surgery. Bill asked me recently, “Did we go apple
picking and do the maze last year? I don’t remember doing it” and I had to
remind him that no we didn’t because September we were crazily going to fairs,
football games and dinner trying to cram in lots of fun prior to surgery. It’s
hard to believe it’s only been a year as it already feels so far away.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

We started vacation at home. Cassidy got a new pillow (she loves it) and we put new tires on her bike. Now it's higher so she cannot get on by herself but she does try to ride it though. The video below is funny at the end.<br />

We rented bicycles and pedaled from Oak Bluff's to Edgartown. We walked around the gingerbread cottages. Cassidy loved riding behind Bill. The rental shop nicely got her a helmut with pink straps. Her stuffed animal rode along one way in the seat with her too. I'm not sure Bill was too thrilled with her goosing him while he was pedaling though.</div>

We had rented a house so it was nice to be able eat breakfast, pack lunches and cook a few nights. Also it gave us more room for when someone in our family had too much fun at the beach and was crabby and needed a nap.<br />

We went on the Famous Flying Carousel. We had told Cassidy about the merry-go-round before we left home. She asked the entire first day about it. After her nap we went right there - only to find out it was closed during the week! She was a good sport when we explained that the horses were resting and sleeping and we'd go on the weekend. We let her go on twice on Sunday and she was satisfied with that.<br />

Our entire trip Cassidy was in a singing mood. We heard the color song and the ABC's many, many times. On our drive home she started adding on! At the end of the ABC song she would say "next time won't you sing with me. me. me. meeeeeeeeeee!" LOL She's pretty cute and really such a good girl. She's a good little traveler which is nice for us.<br />

Happy Labor Day! I'll be honest, I never really knew what Labor day was all about. It's a Monday off so it makes me happy. But know that I have a 2 year old who I have to teach like, everything to, I googled it. From Wikipedia "celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers". Wait a minute - labor day is celebrating me! Nice to have a holiday for the workers, but this blog is not about work! It's about fun! We've been busy since the zoo. We went to a baseball game. Cassidy loved clapping and eating ice cream.<br />

We attempted to put air in Cassidy's bike tires (We got a Barbie bike from friends). After Bill pumping and Cassidy pumping we realized - there's got to be something wrong with these tires! Cassidy can get on the bike but with the flat tires its too difficult to pedal. Her new tires are already here and we're just waiting for the tubes.<br />

Cassidy loves to play picnic - probably thanks to her super cool Leap frog picnic basket that Auntie Barbara got her for her birthday. So she had been asking to go on a real picnic so we packed up some sandwiches and went to Newburyport. We go there often enough for the Spring and Fall Festivals that we know where to park and where a shady spot to sit it. Cassidy had a good time playing ball and looking at the boats. <br />

We kicked off Labor day weekend by going up to my folks cottage for the day Saturday. My sister and her family were there so its always nice to spend time all together. It was also a lovely beach day.<br />

I know many people consider labor day the end of summer but I don't. It's not until September 21st people! I'm happy to say that unlike a certain friend of mine who said to me last week "Oh my god it's the end of summer and I didn't go to the beach once" I cannot say that. I enjoyed this summer to its fullest and I'm hoping for a few more good weather weeks. Especially since we're heading off on vacation this week! I'll have lots of beach pictures when I get back!<br />

Though Bill and I used to go prior to having Cassidy, now we feel like we have a good reason to go. multiple times a year :-) Last weekend we went to Southwick Zoo. I like it there because the animals have nice big area's to live in. I feel like they're well cared for.<br />
<br />
We love the petting zoo and feeding goats and sheep. They also have a deer area where you can feed corn to the deer. We learned that deer don't really like to be petted. <br />
<br />
Cassidy rode the merry go round twice!<br />

Cassidy and I met my sister and nephews at the beach on Friday. While driving there... not far from our house, Cassidy said something. I turned down the radio and said "What?" and she said "are we there yet?" LOL Her first are we there yet! <br />

But... I still leave work. I may boot up the laptop when I get home from shopping and dinner with my sister but I went shopping and out to dinner so I feel I still maintained my new motto of everything being more important than work.<br />
<br />
But yes, work is crazy busy. My Friday off wasn't really off. I worked a bit today. I'm off to Florida for the week but the good thing about that is there's lots of time to work when you're alone in a hotel room at night.<br />
<br />
The result of all this craziness is not too many pictures. But in our playtime we've done lots of puzzles. Cassidy is getting really good at them. We bought her some 25 piece puzzles. They are all Mickey Mouse. One is missing a piece and upon finishing it she always says "and we can't find the missing piece" LOL. I think she thinks we're still looking for it. We're not.<br />

<span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We had a great weekend! Friday Cassidy and I visited my best college friend and had a lovely lunch and swim in her pool (OK, Cassidy refused to swim but she happily played with Lego’s on the deck while the rest of us swam). My friend’s daughter is the only girl in her family so we also got a sweet Barbie 2 wheel bike (with training wheels) for Cassidy. My friend’s daughter was so sweet to Cassidy. She made her a goody bag with hair ties. Which works out great for me because Cassidy wouldn’t wear her own hair doodads but “Olivia’s barrette” is getting lots of use.</span></span></div>

<span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sunday was great! We went to the Aquarium. We got there on the train because something was going on in Boston and the roads near the Aquarium were closed. It was Cassidy’s first ride on the train and she didn’t want to get on when it arrived at the station. She was crying and had me in a choke hold. But she calmed down and we explained that it’s just like a car but it carries lots of people and mommy & daddy don’t have to drive.</span></span></div>

<div dir="LTR">
<span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The aquarium was fun. Cassidy kept saying “more animals”! She got a pink penguin at the gift shop which she appropriately named, pink penguin. We had an awesome lunch at Tia’s (man that was a good salad!). Cassidy rode on a Merry Go Round with no tears for the first time! I was so proud of her. We walked over to Faneuil Hall but now it was starting to shower (it was unbearable hot & humid) so we headed towards the train pretty quickly. Cassidy slept briefly in the car on the way to ice cream near our house, where of course she got purple ice cream (black raspberry). She wanted to share with mommy, but mommy is sick of strawberry & black raspberry so she declined.</span></span></div>
<div dir="LTR">
<span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then we headed home, we crashed on the couch ready to just relax for the evening (especially since no nap was making someone a bit testy). I hugged Bill and said “today was awesome”. I urged Cassidy to hug us both from the other side of Bill. Doing so she head butted him in the eye socket! As Bill writhed in pain I scooted over to make sure her head was OK (it was). Just then I heard the rain come pouring down and I pushed aside the curtain and said Wow look at that rain! I hope we don’t lose power. And one minute later we lost power.</span></span></div>
<div dir="LTR">
<span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span> </div>
<div dir="LTR">
<span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It came back after about three hours, a hundred explanations to Cassidy of why the house had no power (storm, electricity, no TV or light) and a quick dinner out. So it was a super busy Sunday but really very fun. Can’t wait for next weekend!</span></span></div>

Of course this is when two year molars start coming in and my normal happy girl was whiny and crying at the drop of a hat. It was a rough few days and we came home early. She's still a little off but at least she's back home and sleeping better.<br />

When I decided that we were going home she was sitting crying, I was packing and she said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry". I feel bad that she was having such a hard time. Of course it wasn't until our first night home that Bill notices her tooth!</div>

She's been enjoying going outside at night lately. We had some impromptu skinny dipping one night, she went on the swings one night too. I'm pretty sure she's stalling to go to bed.</div>

Bill and I sit with our feet on the coffee table. but she sits in a chair at the coffee table but still tries to put her feet on it. She's too funny the way she copies us!<br />

Okay a little hot for Bill's taste but I've been loving it. Last weekend was SO hot we didn't do much of anything. Cassidy went in her pool in the backyard and yelled for me to take her picture.<br />

It was nice to play indoors for a change. We read lots of books, play doh and tickling fights.<br />

I do wish we'd get some rain though because we've had some brush fires in my neighborhood. Tuesday night the fire truck was on our street and a helicopter overhead (looking for more fires). That's a little scary.<br />
<br />
I signed up for the Making Strides for Breast Cancer Boston 2012 Walk in October. Some family and friends have said they'll walk with me. Work has been busy so when someone from there called me the other day I know I was short with them. They invited me to a kick off breakfast? I asked what the date was and told her I was travelling on business. I'm sure it sounded like a lie but it's actually true that I'll be in FL that week. She said she'd call me after that to give me my welcome packet. After I hung up the phone and thought about it I'm wondering... uh I don't just show up and walk? What welcome packet? What is all that about? I guess I'll have to wait awhile to find out...<br />
<br />
I realize my posts have gotten to about once a week but hey, it's summer. I don't sit at the computer much. I haven't been taking many photo's. I'm too busy having fun! And I have lots planned for the next 10 days or so :-)<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10227538352265932025noreply@blogger.com0
