We got a couple days of rain last week, so I went out to see if I could get some good shots of the water collecting on the grasses.<\/p>\n

This last shot with the spider reminded me that Halloween is quickly approaching. Have you figured out what you are going to do for a costume yet?<\/p>\n

Last year, with my bald head, grey skin, and chemo port sticking out of my chest, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to dress up as Borg<\/a>. I had the costume pretty much ready to go, but I was so sick on Halloween, it just didn’t happen. They say you regret the things you didn’t do the most, I think not dressing up as a Borg will be one of those life long regrets.<\/p>\n

Did someone just call me a nerd?<\/p>\n

My post chemo hair is growing back with a lot more curl than I’m accustomed to. I was so looking forward to a cute short hairstyle like Winona Ryder or Natalie Portman or Emma Watson. But, no, no, no, I get Seth Rogan hair. That hair, combined with with additional weight from the steroids makes me think maybe I should just toss on a pair of sweats and and fake beard and go as Seth Rogan. No? My husband doesn’t think so either. I’ll think of something else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
