CancerGirl Gets Ready For School

Hello everyone,

CG and SD are starting school Thursday. She is very excited and nervous at the same time. She still hasn’t gotten her books or her supplies as of yet. Tomorrow is the day of major running around.

Yesterday

Whenever the beginning of a school semester begins, CG starts thinking about her previous experiences with school. When CG was in Middle School and High School she was always being told she wasnt living up to her potential. This always really annoyed CG because first of all, if it was my potential, then why do they care if I am living up to it or not, and how do they know what my potential was anyway?? It isnt like they stamp on our heads when we are born “has the potential to ….” . I also always wondered how many of these people who were telling me this were living up to their own potential, many of which I think were not in fact doing so. I think that before they started talking to tohers about thier potential, that perhaps they would have been better served trying to live up to their own potential.

Today

Today CG and SH and SD had a nice relaxing day at home. CG was very physically worn down today. I think possibly she isnt charging her HumorMeter enough lately. It felt like someone had put a lead weight in CG’s SuperHero uniform.

CG and Sh watched Hells Kitchen tonight, one of CancerGirls favorite shows. She enkoys watching Chef Gordon Ramsay yell at the people who come into his kitchen on the show. I always find it quite ironic that these people are being given the opprotunity of a lifetime (if you are into the whole cooking thing, CG hates to cook, so it would be torture to her) and to see these people have such attitudes with CHef Ramsay and act like he has no clue.

Tonight SD did something very uncharacteristic of her. CG was sitting on the couch (the lair is outfitted with a dual recliner loveseat) and SD climbed into the other recliner and curled up. CG reminded her that she is not allowed on the furniture and that opened a whole can of worms with SD. She started muttering “of course, you people sit on the furniture all day long, the SuperCats hang out on the furniture all day long, I jump up for 2 minutes ot lay next to you and all of a sudden its a problem”. I agreed with SD that it wasnt fair, and I let her stay on the chair, telling her to never let SH see her up there.

Tomorrow

CG and SD have a big day tomorrow full of running around and doing errands. SD needs a new collar for school, she has requested something in a diamond stud, but we have decided to go with something in purple instead.

SD is also going to the Spa tomorrow. She was very excited about this, started talking about the messages and mud packs and about how she was finnaly getting the recognition she deserves. CG informed her that her spa day would in fact consist of a full body rubdown, but that it would be accompanied by a bath. SD started talking about how she felt it was unfair as she would never take me to the spa and tell them to scrub me down and blow me dry. I told her that if she kept herself clean then she would not hav to go to spa.

CancerGirl Gets SideTracked

It’s A Bird! It’s A Plane!! NO!!! It’s CancerGirl!!!!

Hello everyone, CancerGirl and SuperHubby set out for Aquatica this morning, and on the way there the tire blew, so we didn’t go to Aquatica today, we are looking at friday now as more likely then anything. I hope I am up for it friday, as I start school thursday.

Yesterday

Yesterday CG had the all important mission of ending the evils of EvilBoredom and EvilGloominess that was attacking SuperSister, so CG and SuperDog went to work. We picked SS up in the CancerMobile and drove around and had a nice talk. SD got to have french fries so she was happy, as she finnaly felt that she was being given the recognition that she deserved. Little did she know she only got them because SS doesnt like the crispy ones, and CG is against wasting.

SS has a cast on her arm, and in order to remind her that CG and SD helped her to fight the EvilBoredom and EvilGloominess CG signed SS cast. There is a picture below of SS cast. It was CG way of saying “CG and SD was here” yes it is a little less obvious then coming through the side of a building or leaping a tall building in a single bound, but I am not yet to that level of SuperHero.

TODAY

Well, today didnt go exactly as CG and SH had planned. They took off from the lair in the CancerMobile and got about 20 minutes away from the lair and ran over a nail on the road and the tire went flat. CancerGirl told SH not to panic, (which is the first thing they teach us in SuperHeroSchool) and that since she was a SuperHero she had SuperPowers and would easily be able to fix everything. She went to her State of the Art, High Tech, F.I.N.D. Sytem (stands for Find It Now Dummy) which she had the CancerMobile outfitted with when the Evil power of ForeverLost struck her and SD on a mission, and she was unable to complete her mission. She immediately went to the SuperHeroMart and purchased the F.I.N.D. system and had it installed.

CG punched in “Auto Repair, and hit “Find It” and next thing we knew the CancerMobile was navigating to the repair shop.

After the tire was fixed we realized that by the time we got to Aquatica and parked and got inside that more then half the day would be over, so we rescheduled for Firday.

Tomorrow

CG and SD begin school Thursday. This is a very exciting time for CG every semester, as she gets to go to her second favorite store and get supplies. CG loves school supplies, pens, pads, binders, all the things that go with being in school. Between that and getting to meet a whole new group of students, and new professors, such a wonderful time. Many people have pointed out that going to college and doing chemo (which I begin the next round of on or around Sept 1) is a very large and possibly not good undertaking. They have suggested I “take time off” but CG is a SuperHero, who is capable of doing anything, not to mention the fact that Cancer isnt going to take a day off from trying to iradicate my SuperPowers, so I can’t “take time off” from fighting.

My only concern, is that the BiWheelTurboBoostedSuperHeroMovingDevice is not going to be ready yet, it is being built by a group of designers of SuperHero vehicles, so till that comes it will be a little harder to get around campus, but I have survived before, (even before becoming a SH) so I will once again.

Link of the Day

Today is Monday, and I have decided to add something called MovieMondays to the blog. Every Monday, in order to help fight the EvilGloomies CG will watch and review a funny movie. I will choose funny movies that many may not have had a chance to see because they either went straight to DVD or they didnt get as much press when they came out.

The first “MovieMonday’s” movie is

Death to Smoochy

Death to Smoochy is a movie starring Robin Williams (CancerGirls most favorite in the world comedian).

Robin Willians plays Rainbow Randolph, a children’s tv celebrity, he is charged with fraud by the FBI when it is found out that he is accepting bribes from childrens parents to be on his show. He is fired and the network decides to find the most squeaky clean and without blemish character that noone would ever be able to find fault with.

Enter Smoochy

Smoochy is a big purple Rhino played by Sheldon Mopes, he is found singing songs to the patients at a local free clinic, where he sings such songs as “get you off that smack”, a song about…. duh… getting off smack. Check out a video of Smoochy singing the smack song below

When Rainbow Randolph was fired he became homeless and he blames Smoochy for the reason why he is now broke and homeless he decides that Smoochy must die. He begins a campaign of underhanded things trying to get smoochy to get off the air.

I highly suggest you purchase this movie if you have not seen it, as it is truly a very funny movie. Everyone loves Robin Williams, and this is one of his much less known films. You can get the movie from amazon for less then ten dollars by clicking the link below.

Death to Smoochy (Widescreen Edition)

Tune in tomorrow to see where the Adventures of CancerGirl and SuperDog will ead us next.

Yesterday

So how did I get to become CancerGirl? (why don’t we just use CG from here on out and shorten this thing up??)  Well like most superheros my life was pretty normal (ok, those of you who are in CancerGirl’s SecretSociety know that nothing about me is or ever was normal) but, it was normal enough.  I grew up in a town,  much like any other town out there before Wal Mart and Mc Donald’s invaded the country. The kind of town that had a Main Street called Main Street.  It had little shops that had their own little niche, one was a clothing store for women, they didn’t sell any mens clothes at all, nope, that place is famous for being the store that CancerGirl’s mom,  SuperMom (SM for short, see the pattern here?)  took her to get measured for her first bra.  Down the street from there was a music store. Not like they sold music there, nothing good like tapes and such, no, it was a store that sold musical instruments (which by the way is where I got my clarinet when I tried that, more on that another day though).  There was also a jeweler, and a shoe shop and a coiffeurs place (was almost 20 before I realized it was a baurty parlor, I never needed any coiffures so I never bothered going in).  Get whre I am going with this, a small non descript town, not famous for much of anything.

Ok, On to today……

Today

CancerGirl and SuperDog sometimes have arguments. I think any SuperHero and SideKick have their arguments. CG was doing stuff in thekitchen when I guess SD got impatient about wanting her dinner. Sometimes CancerGirl forgets about dinner for SD, and you would think that being a SuperHero that she would be able to get herself something to eat, but apparently she hasnt mastered that exact skill yet.

So CG tells SD that she will have to wait, that she was making dinner for SuperHusband. Well…. SD got her tail all in a snit, because I was feeding SH first. This is a ongoing thing with them. SD has a lot of resentments toward SH because he is CG Partner and she is just her SideKick. So she started in on the old argument of “Why is he the partner? I am the one who goes to school with you. I go out with you and help you fight gloom and all he does is sit here inthe lair and play poker and video games!!!” CG told her that she met and inducted SH into the SecretSociety long before she came and applied. She said “Well then make me a partner too” and CG had to explain to her that would never happen, because of the no opposable thumbs thing. In order to fulfill the role of partner, one must have opposable thumbs to be able to do things like put on the SuperHero tool belt. CG feels it is innapropriate for a partner to not be able to dress themselves.

SD threatened to quit and find a more suitable SuperHero to be sidekick to, kinda a “I dont need this crap” type of attitude, so CG had to remind her she must be low on GratitudeAttitude because in this job market, one should be grateful to have a job at all. SD thought about this for a while (while CG and SH ate their dinner, chicken and shrimp linguini alfredo, yummy) and returned to CancerGirls suite and SD said she was sorry for not remembering to use her GratitudeAttitude and that sometimes she just feels like I forget that she is just as worried about the evil power of Gloominess taking over the world, and sometimes that can make her a little testy.

In the end, CancerGirl and SuperDog made up and they took a trip in the CancerMobile and everything was fine once again.

Tomorrow

CancerGirl and SuperDog are going to the mall with SuperSister tomorrow. CancerGirl hasnt been going out much at all lately and SS pointed out how CG was ignoring her and that she wasnt spending any time with her, so CG is going with SS to the Mall. She has to drop off SH to deal Poker, SH does his job of fighting the Evil Gloominess by making the people on his poker tables laugh.

So CG is dropping SH off, picking up SS, going to the mall for a little while, not long though because CancerGirl is waiting to get her new mode of transportation in the form of a BiWheelTurboBoostedSuperHeroMovingDevice (what mortals would call a Wheelchair). so she cant walk very far or long, not to mention that having just gotten over Chemo she is still quite wiped out physically and her muscles ache quite a bit, of course for a SuperHero like CG, pain isnt gonna stop her from brightening SS day with her power of Laughter.

Jeff Dunham is a comedian who is accompanied by numerous SideKicks of his own. He truly is a comedy treaure that is certain to help charge up your HumorMeter. I watched one of his DVD’s today and laughed so much I cried. It takes something to be very very funny to make CancerGirl laugh so hard she cries.

One of Jeff Dunhams most famous SideKicks is Walter, a cantankerous older gentleman who never has a nice word for anyone and spends most of his time complaining about the state of the world today. He is such a curmudgen that you cant help but love him.

He also has Peanut, a odd looking fellow who is kinda manic and thinks everything in the world is just great, life is wonderful and he loves everyone. Peanut is CancerGirls favorite SideKick of Jeff’s. You can see Peanut and Jeff and Jose Jalapeno in the clip below.

 

If you Enjoyed that clip you can purchase CancerGirls favorite Jeff Dunham DVD at Amazon.com for less then 10 Dollars.

How It’s Gonna Go Down

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane!! NO!!! It’s CancerGirl!!!!

Ok, so yesterday you all learned about who CancerGirl is. I am figuring that you all want to know how CancerGirl got to be CancerGirl, and how SuperDog came to be CancerGirls SideKick.

On that sweet note, I have decided upon a format for my Blog. I have decided that every Blog will have 3 sections to it. A big part of fighting the evil of cancer, is having something to look forward to in the future, something like a “Just let me make it till Christmas” type of an idea. Sooooooo….

I am going to have 3 components to my blog. Yesterday. Today and Tomorrow.

Yesterday

It is important to look back on your life and find the humor in it. CG and SH spend a lot of time reminding each other of the funny things that have happened in their lives together. To be able to enjoy the same moment over and over again is truly having a SuperPower. You have the pwer to recall that memory any time you start to feel the rays of the EvilGloom (EG for short) and by using that memory you are able to ward off gloominess.

It is also important to look back on your life and see how you have changed, where you were and how far you’ve come. Noone ever stays stuck forever. Hopefully you grow, and as you do you gain the SuperPower of Wisdom.

Yesterday will be the section where I give you all a little history of CancerGirl, how she and SuperHusband came to be partners, and how SuperDog came to be CancerGirls SideKick.

This way every day you will learn more and more about CancerGirl, without having to read pages and pages of information. Short and sweet, that is what I am looing to acheive here folks.

Today

Today is a very important aspect of CancerGirls life. Today is when she does her daily battles in life. Today is the place where all the SuperHeroes of the world get together and meet and help each other fight whatever it is that they are fighting. Today is when you get to charge up another of your superpowers, GratitudeAttitude. GratatudeAttitude is the power to be grateful for whatever you have been blessed with, yet not getting an attude like you are better then anyone.

Today will be the section where I will talk about what is going on in the adventures of CancerGirl and SuperDog. This is where you will get all your “What happened to CancerGirl at school today??” and “How did CancerGirl get her HumorMeter recharged today?” gossip and information.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is I think one of the best times in the world. It is the best because it is soo full of promise and excitement. It is such a mystery that millions are spent every year on calling people who claim to have power over tomorrow. People who swear that they are able to tell you what the future has in store for you. CancerGirl is not religious, but she does beleive in the SuperPower of Karma. Karma is one of the greatest superpowers because you have some ability to control that SupserPower. If you are good to others, then you can strnthen your Karma. Kinda Like Earl of My Name Is Earl.
Tomorrow will be where I will talk about something that I am looking forward to, even if it is something small. It is what is on the horizon for CancerGirl.

LINK OF THE DAY

Todays link ties into Todays Blog. I mentioned Karma earleir in this post, so on that note, today’s link is

My Name Is Earl TV Fan Site

Earl Hickey is a man who did many many bad things to many many people. He stole, cheated, lied, and swore in front of babies. He lives with his brother Randy, who is a little shall we say “off” but is truly just a big ole teddy bear.

Earl wins the jackpot on a scratch off lottery ticket, but in his excitement, while running across the street, he gets hit by a car and his lottery ticket comes out of his hands and is blown down the street.

Earl has a Epiphany while he is in the hospital when he sees someone on TV talking about Karma, and how “if you do good things good things will happen to you, if you do bad things, bad things will happen to you”. He comes to the conclusion that Karma must have been to blame for the mishaps that have left him broke, mentally, physically and financially. He decides that the only way to get the money Karma took from him back is to go back and make up for every bad thing he ever did. He compiles a list so he can keep track.

The show follows Earl as he goes around trying to help others in order to get his money back.

It is a very funny show, and has provided CancerGirl with many many hours of recharging her HumorMeter

CancerGirl Here

IT”S A BIRD!!! IT’S A PLANE!!! NO!! IT’S CANCERGIRL!!!  That’s right folks, The One, The Only, CancerGirl…..

 

Since this is the first Blog entry, I might as well introduce myself and a few details about my life.  (Not too many though, as a superhero never tells too much). 

 

My name of course is CancerGirl. What’s that?  You thought I was gonna give you my real name??? Now what kind of superhero would I be if I went around just telling everyone my true identity?  Are you aware of the problems that would cause? Imagine when I burst through the side of your building to use my power of laughter to brighten your day and you are like “Well thanks CancerGirl, now that I am laughing, how do you expect to pay for my wall???”  Seeee As CancerGirl I just Zoom right out of there and I’m gone…. Not to be seen again till someone else is in need of comic relief.

 

How I became CancerGirl is story for another day.  This post is just to let you all know who I am and a little about my life.

 

I will throughout this Blog probably end up going from the first to 3^rd person context of speaking, sometimes speaking of CG as myself and sometimes narrating CG adventures.  This is just one of my quirks along with throwing in a capital letter places it doesn’t belong so bear with me. 

 

So who is CancerGirl? CG is a 32 year old hearing impaired superhero who has scoliosis which has led to degenerative disk disease.  In July CancerGirl’s real life persona CK was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer when a tumor was found, of all the places for a uterine tumor to show up, IN HER UTERUS.  A grapefruit sized tumor smack dab in the middle of her uterus. 

 

I am not really all that into the exact medical facts and such of having Cancer. I am more of an “ehhh life happens” kind of person when it comes to big things.  So I am not one to go researching asking the dr for exact names of drugs and treatments and all that. I trust that the Dr knows what he is doing, and he is perfectly fine with me trying to live my life and not obsess over numbers and lab results and such. I see him when I need to, and I do what I need to do to take care of it, but otherwise I am living my life.

 

Since CG isn’t overly concerned with medical facts and long boring medical information stuff, this Blog is NOT going to be full of medical information and drug names and long boring explanations of medical stuff. If you are looking for that kind of Cancer Blog, then this is not the place for you. On the other hand, if you want to follow a real life SuperHero through her day to day life of dealing with cancer, going to college and laughing as much as she possibly can then definitely become one of my spotters (Person who follows or spots CG in the world.)

 

 

LINK OF THE DAY::::::

 

Everyday CancerGirl will e posting a link in her Blog to an article, website, or other interesting things she found on the web and saying a few words about it. The links will also be added daily to the LINKS tab on this Blog page.

 

Today’s site is

 

www.Postsecret.com

 

Postsecret is one of CancerGirl’s most favorite websites. (No surprise since one of a SuperHeroes most important tools is his secrets)   It is a collection of secrets that thousands, if not millions of people have put onto a postcard and sent to www.postsecrets.com anonymously. Some of them are sad, but a good number of them are also funny. 

 

They have Sunday Secrets, which is where they post 20 or so new postcards every Sunday, SH and CG spend early every Sunday morning looking at the Sunday Secrets.  Join us every week while we look.
