Tomorrow afternoon I meet with the Neuro team and find out just how big a deal it is to have a 7-centimeter cyst in my brain.

Wow.

There's a sentence I never imagined writing.

Just saying.

Meanwhile, the house and its family are hanging in there. Last Saturday, Bear was the Gold-bringing Magi in the pageant. (He was AWESOME!)

We drove through 2 different Burger Kings to get 2 crowns. Glued 'em together, turned them inside out. Painted it shiny gold and bedazzled and bejeweled the ever living crap out of it.

Best. Pageant. Crown. Ever.

Boy just about glowed in his robes (Thanks again, C, for making them) and that crown. Spoke his line clearly and into the microphone: "It filled us with joy!"

I practically wept.

Since then, we've been making homemade ornaments (behold the wonder of the glue gun) and talking about our blessings and pretending tomorrow wasn't coming.

I have nothing smart, deep, sentimental, silly, sarcastic, or wise to say.

Perhaps I will, tomorrow.

6 Don't think I didn't notice how close you put yourself and Mike Holmes. Yay for doing a great job in the pageant! Very resourceful with the BK crowns. I hope the appointment went well. Thinking about you!

7 I can hardly believe this is happening. Thinking of you. Oh and I love the idea of the collage - will definitely use that as a weekend project for the girls at our place this holidays. xx
