Tomorrow I have to get up early early to head to leadership training for Celebrate Recovery for our church.  My husband, the pastor, is going, too, so hopefully it will be a fun “something different” get away for us.  Some of the most fun people in the world to hang out with are going, too.
I love this program.  It works.  If you know anyone who struggles with an addiction or hangup of any kind, and you hear of a Celebrate Recovery program where they live, encourage them to go.
It will change their life.

    Daisy had a pretty hard time at Chemo yesterday, fear still being a big factor.
    But radiation is going well and we are half way through (we finish next Friday), and are not seeing too many side effects yet, but the doctor says they are coming.

    Daisy is looking forward to having the weekend off from both treatments.

    Today, Daisy got her hair cut for the first time ever!! She did it in anticipation of it falling out and one of her best friends (Selah Balli) did it with her. A sweet girl in our fellowship offered to do it and brought Barbi dolls for each of them to cut the hair off as well. The Barbi Doll’s hair looked just like Daisy and Selah’s, one blonde and one brunette.

    Daisy and Selah are dedicating the beautiful hair they cut off to Pantene Beautiful Lengths which makes wigs for women with cancer.

    They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.
    — Acts 2:42-45 (via loveispatient)

Here’s my little old man, Oskar, the wiener dog.  He’s all bundled up in my son’s jacket.  I can’t wait for his little wiener sausage sweater to get here so he can be cozy all the time!
He’s a little miffed at me today because I’m working in my office and not sitting on the couch where he can sit next to me and be warm and cozy.  Sorry, little man!

Frankie (pug) and Gretchen (rottie) aren’t too happy with me either.  They all usually gang up beside me.  Frankie has to be right on the blanket between my legs.  (Sounds lovely, I know.)  If he sees me straightening a blanket, he thinks I’m straightening it just for him.  Gretchen likes to hog the affection of anyone who will give her some.  She’s pitiful, really.  So needy.  She’s never heard the term, “playing hard to get.”  Ever.

Here is the “little” prince, Chevy.  I adopted Chevy at 11 months old and he hadn’t been socialized much at all.  He is terrified of everything.  We’ve had him over a year now, and he’s doing a little better but not as good as I had hoped.
But today, he worked up enough courage to sniff my stuffed animal turkey I have sitting out with the fall decorations.  It made me smile.
He’s the most loving dog.  He has this adorable way of walking up to you when you’re sitting down and putting his head upside down in your lap.  How can you not fall in love with a creature like that?  He really just lives to please me and be with me.  It’s awesome.  Who else on this earth treats you like you’re a celebrity other than your dog?
