School Starts Tomorrow for CancerGirl and SuperDog
actually it starts today, but since I spent 2 hours writing a blog to have it get erased when I went to post it, it is now 4am, so I am gonna start over
Yesterday
When CancerGirl was in school as a child she hated Gym class. It wasn't the teachers, she liked them well enough, but the problem came in that she was a clutz. Now before you start saying "I am sure she wasn't any more clutzy then any other teenager out there" stop, she was and still is a big clutz. She would run upstairs her feet would go faster then her brain, and she would do a faceplant into the stairs.
Today CancerGirl is happy that she doesn't have to take a gym class, she does have to take some sort of "physical education" but that can also be a class on nutrition.
Today
SuperDog went to the spa tonight. She was not happy about this, but she went grudgingly (and a 90 pound SideKick doing anything grudgingly can be a pain). She requested a private bathing suite since there were other dogs there and she didnt want them to see her go through the indignity of getting bathed. Of course, CancerGirl can't afford to use a groomer that has such a facility, so she got her bath in front of the other dogs that were there. Everyone there loved her and her groomer gave her cookies. The groomer did find one spot that I had thought was a bit of dirt, turned out to be what looked like a spider bite. She will be fine, but she does have a spot right on top of her head that is missing some hair, pretty ironic since I went through chemo and didnt loose one bit of hair (thank god).
Tomorrow
Well, tomorrow is the first day of school. CancerGirl always gets panicky about the first day of classes. I think it is because she reads the syllabus and then decides the teacher is very strict and that she isnt going to like them, then the first day of school she finds out that they are in fact very nice. It is more the anxiety of not knowing what they are going to be like then anything. This will be CancerGirls first semester on campus as a SuperHero, and hopefully everyone wont be too taken back by seeing one. SuperDog is excited, when she saw CG pick up her backpack, SD came runing over and tried to get it put on. She was upset to find that CancerGirl was just putting it in the washer so that it will be nice and clean for tomorrow.

http://www.billengvall.com/
CancerGirl first saw Bill Engvall when he opened for Reba McEntire at the Garden State Arts Center in New Jersey (if you culdnt tell by the Garden State thing) and at first she was dissapointed that there was a opener, as she had gone with SPP (Super PopPop, CG grandfather) to see ReBa and CG considered having a comedian as a opener was boring (CG was 15 at the time). All that dissapointment was gone 10 minutes into Bill Engvall's set.
Bill Engall specializes in those special moments when the Evil Power of FootInMouth sets in. Those times when you know that what you are about to ask is a stupid question, but you can't help but ask it.
Like when you see your neighbor bringing boxes out of his house and putting them into a big truck. You walk over and ask him if he is moving. You know what the answer is, why else would someone completely empty their house? YOu feel foolish for asking, but you just had to anyway.
One of CancerGirls most favorite bits that BIll Engvall does is when he talks about the DorkFIsh. A very ugly fish who also isnt very smart, as he eats corndogs without even bothering to ask himself how a corndog would have goten to the bottom of the ocean .

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.
