October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month


Breast Cancer Awareness is everywhere during October. It's like Pink rather than orange is the official color for October. The View advertised a Pink Laptop/TV/DVD player for something like $300. If the proceeds go to breast cancer research, I'll take a whole houseful of pink please. Hmmm...I think.
Christina Applegate appeared on Oprah too. That was one program I didn't want to miss. I did shed some tears during that program for sure.

I have my own October update. Before my sister passed away from breast cancer I promised her I'd get an MRI. She had told me every year that it was great I was getting mammograms, but wouldn't I please get an MRI. So this is my 2nd year in a row getting my MRI. I got a treat and not a trick when I went to see my doctor today. My MRI is negative AGAIN! My mammogram looks good and I wanted to share that with you all! I even have a cool CD from Tripler with my own digital record.

Don't forget your annual mammogram ladies!

Do you like Pokemon?


Pokemon is all the rage in our house. Between Pokemon games for the DS Pokemon characters, cartoons, and card trading the kids can't get enough. My favorite Pokemon item that we have is the book that has all their info like their type, what they evolve into, special powers, and such. It keeps me in the loop. Mer drew this while watching a Pokemon video.
