I dropped my lock at the gym today. I didn't think about the fact that maybe I should have made sure it was still wroking before I put it on my locker. Had a great workout. Then, couldn't unlock the lock. Oops. The lock cutters at the gym couldn't cut through the lock. We got the biggest guy in the gym to come to the women's locker room to give it a try. Still couldn't cut through, but at least he was able to somehow work it so it came open. Time for a new lock.

My parents had a party to celebrate the birthdays of my dad and two of their friends. Lest we create a fire hazard, my mom got number candles that make up the sum of the celebrants' ages. #cy365 #OffPrompt

The Girl and I went to the park today. It wasn't sunny, but it was in the 50s, and that was a beautiful thing. As soon as we got there, she started climbing trees and yelling, "Mom! Look at me! Mom! Watch this!" And then, she did her impression of a tree sloth.

You should see the other guy! Just kidding. I'd tell you what really happened, but then I'd have to kill you.

Sent The Girl out to shag practice balls from last night in the yard. She came back with one that seems to have been enjoyed by a squirrel.

The Girl has quite an imagination. I think one of her favorite things is when I let her play with a box that has come in the mail. Here, we see her sporting what she's dubbed the Meredith 3000. I adore her sense of imagination.

Our old fridge had a small opening for the filtered water in the door, making it awkward to hold the Keurig reservoir while filling it, so we'd fill a pitcher (with a handle), then carry that over to the Keurig and pour the water in. It wasn't until yesterday (a few weeks into owning our new fridge), that I realized I could set the whole reservoir on the pull-out platform underneath the filtered water spout. Much easier! #cy365 #OffPrompt #FirstWorldProblems

The Girl has taken to falling asleep with her headphones on, listening to music on her iPod. #cy365 #OffPrompt

When you see hair falling out from chemo on TV or in movies, it's usually chunks of it, and straight. I'll bet bigger chunks will come in the next day or so. And funny, it does look a bit different coming from a curly mop, doesn't it? #cy365 #OffPrompt #ODC-Curled

In the gallery at gymnastics. Seeing this guy's screen makes me nostalgic for my 20s. #cy365 #OffPrompt

I placed a square of toilet tissue (Scott brand) over the lens of my iPhone and snapped this selfie. SOOC other than watermark.

I don't know what it is, but whenever I get a new, handed down dresser from my mom, she leaves socks in it. Last time, it was just a couple. This time, it was two drawers worth! #cy365 #OffPrompt

And some sweet tunes on the little purple thing.

I had been taking portraits of The Girl and her toothless grin (to be blogged when I'm done processing). After we were finished, before I broke down the studio setup, she decided to dance between the backdrop and my softbox. I got some fun silhouette shots.

At my parents house, the basement is pretty sparse, yet The Girl finds lots to do. Here, she's using a clothing rack (steadied by Gramps) as a chinup bar. She can do 3 in a row! I don't think I could ever do more than one. #cy365 #OffPrompt

Yep, not only does she lick her armpit, she uses breakfast cereal as age-inappropriate facial jewelry.

Today was the last day of kindergarten for The Girl. I got her to pose for a quick photo with her teacher, Mrs. Jones. #cy365 #OffPrompt

I couldn't remember if I'd taken a photo yet for the day. When I went to check my phone to see if I had any, I was surprised by an email from Katrina that she'd opened up the CY365 chat room for a bit. I poured myself a glass of wine and sat down to chat photog stuff with the girls (and one guy). Such a nice treat for a Friday night.

I can tell it's back to school time by the horrendous head cold that has taken up residence in my house. But, thanks to this spread, I managed a much needed 12-hour long sleep.

I made macaroons from scratch! Who knew it'd be so easy? I used Stacey Ballis' recipe from her book, Out to Lunch. Check out my blog for the deets - www.biselblog.com/coconut-macaroons/

I let The Girl play with my Simpsons minifigs for just a few minutes. When I turned around, this is what I found. #cy365 #OffPrompt

The top image is from the CT taken along with the PET Scan (bottom image). It's a top-down view of my lungs The red hands are pointing to the actual lymphoma that has moved out of my lymph nodes in my lungs. In the CT, it looks like a grey mass. In the PET, it's glowing. I love that I can get the images from my scans on disc. #cy365 #OffPrompt

I've been blessed (a word I almost NEVER use) to be part of an amazing online community of photographers over at captureyour365.com. Through that community, I met my friend Diane, who just adopted a little girl from China (her second time around this block). Many months ago, I was incredibly touched and honored when she asked me to meet them at the airport to photograph Anna’s homecoming. Today was that day! Pictured here are Diane, husband Randy, her oldest daughter Lizz, and new daughter, Anna. Absent is her second daughter, Kate, who is currently away at university.

 

This may not be my finest technical work, but gosh darned, if looking at this picture doesn’t put a perma-grin on my face! This little girl grabs your heart and does not let go! Many more photos and a blog post are yet to come. Stay tuned!

 

BTW, if you’re wondering how I got such great smiles… simple: I just wiggled my butt and made a fool of myself. Ha ha!

Benadryl is one of my chemo pre-meds to help prevent a reaction to one of the drugs (Rituxan). I'm sure I've mentioned before in my blog (www.caringbridge.org/visit/debmoran) that mainlining Benadryl through my port hits hard and fast. This is me, before and after it kicks in. #cy365 #OffPrompt

It's Fright Fest, and that means time to get our Six Flags season passes for next year. We made it a family outing - ours and Baby Marcie's. The Girl was so excited to show her the all of the thrills. #cy365 #OffPrompt

The Girl's two top middle teeth have been wiggly for months. And, for the past week, the top right one had been hanging on by a thread, but she wouldn't force it out. Today, it FINALLY fell out. We were at the movies. Luckily, I had brought a Ziploc bag for just in case - that was The Girl's idea. Smart kid.

Dual cortisone shots. Hoping this takes care of my plantar fasciitis for good. #cy365 #OffPrompt

 

Heart just wasn't in it today. #cy365 #OffPrompt

The Girl and her BFF at their class Halloween party. #cy365 #OffPrompt #ODC-Friendship

I have no idea why The Girl chose to sleep on the floor with the pillow on her head. When I asked her in the morning, she just shrugged her shoulders. #cy365 #OffPrompt

I did a senior portrait session for my next door neighbor today. Bonus - the pics doubled as my assignment for my Practice! class. Picking a favorite for my POTD was tough, but this is the winner.

Happy 7-11 Day! I surprised the girl after camp by taking her for a free Slurpee at 7-11.

Hubs bought whipped cream for waffles last week. It keeps finding its way into my morning coffee. #cy365 #OffPrompt

Hubs is reading this book, and when he told me about this part, I cracked up. And yes, Garland bites it.

#cy365 #OffPrompt

I admit it. I love parking lot shaming. And yes, I know it'll come back to bite me in the arse someday. #cy365 #OffPrompt

For Practice! class, I created this image from my wedding bouquet (from over 9 years ago) with 5 different exposures, each focusing on a different depth, then blended the layers in PS.

#cy365 #OffPrompt

No, I will not look at you. I will not get out of this bed. It's far too cozy. Just take yourself away. I'll stay here. Thank you. #cy365 #OffPrompt

See what I did there? #cy365 #OffPrompt

 

Normally, parents do not get to see what goes on behind the closed door of the ballet studio. But this is parent watch week, where we finally get to observe what our girls are doing in class. I was so impressed with how much The Girl has improved since last term. She's really finding her groove. #cy365 #OffPrompt

Took The Girl to a Girl Scouts open house meeting. We left with an edible campfire kit in a little bag. First you build it, then you eat it! She can't wait to be a Daisy.

Today, to make up for all the stuff that got cancelled and postponed for The Girl's birthday back in January, when I was sick, I pulled her out of school (along with a couple of friends and their moms), and we went downtown for a belated birthday lunch and shopping spree at American Girl. When we got home, The Girl said to me, "That was the best day ever!" Mission accomplished. And yes, all the grass really is that green - from one major rain storm. #cy365 #OffPrompt

Crazy cat - he loves to chew on the fake tree. The real tree? He leaves that one alone. #cy365 #OffPrompt

The Girl's Daisy troop sold Girl Scout cookies outside local Hardware store. They did great - 83 boxes sold in 2 hours! Stop sign, courtesy of The Girl. #cy365 #OffPrompt

I took this photo as part of an exercise in manually setting the Kelvin temp on my camera. This is probably my favorite image that I took from that exercise, so I made it my POTD.

#cy365 #OffPrompt

I'm so proud of Hubs. Not only did he earn his Executive MBA in two years (half the time it takes most students), but he did so while juggling family and a full time job. On top of that, he earned his school's highest honor and was named a Hotchkiss Scholar (he had a bum ribbon on his medal, or he'd be wearing it here). Congrats, honey!

Bonus: I got a selfie in his lenses. :)

#cy365 #OffPrompt

Out of ideas for the day, so I snapped a few of my favorite things in my fridge - watermelon, The Pass Sauvignon Blanc, cherries, Chinese takeout.
