Nick, Brooke, Reagan, Elsa, & Cohen: The Light.
http://nickandbrookescheurer.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-light.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2015. It's wondrous how I can go from feeling so bleak, to feeling well in a short amount of time. By last Friday, I had spent 7 days feeling beat-down. It is discouraging. And it makes it really difficult to find any good in the world. Saturday, though, I woke up feeling well. It was Independence Day. I talked Heather in to going to Grantsville. Heather and Jeff did the bulk of the work, and let me just relax and visit. We took the kids to the parade. That which is of God is light;.

Monday, July 20, 2015. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow. The two things I loved most about my appearance: my hair and my smile. I was having a very difficult time coming to grips with the fact that I was going to lose my hair, after I found out that I had cancer. It has been traumatic, for sure. But I'm coming around to "owning it". My hair grows SOOOO slowly. It took me 6 years to grow it to the length it was before chemo. And, yes, that was my natural color. No dye jobs for this girl. I kept that haircut for ...

Nick, Brooke, Reagan, Elsa, & Cohen: Haze.
http://nickandbrookescheurer.blogspot.com/2015/06/haze.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2015. I had been told, and was fully anticipating that Sunday would be my "bad" day. By no means, was it a picnic. But I was able to eat, and function. And I totally thought, "this is going to be a cake-walk"! Monday, I was a little more worse for wear. But that's kind of a good thing. 24 hours after every round of chemo, I will need to have a shot of neulasta. It helps my body produce more white-blood cells; which I need. But that wasn't an option. My bones hurt, because the neulasta...

Nick, Brooke, Reagan, Elsa, & Cohen: Pollyanna, I Am Not.
http://nickandbrookescheurer.blogspot.com/2015/07/pollyanna-i-am-not.html
Friday, July 3, 2015. Pollyanna, I Am Not. That's the only way I can describe the last round of chemo. I tried to put a sugary spin on things, and would say things like, "tomorrow WILL be better". But to myself, that sentiment sounded really stupid. I'm not an innately "sunshine and hearts"-type personality. Tell it like it is. Pukey, pukey. Chemo sucks. And I don't want to do it again. I will do it again. But that doesn't mean I have to want to. The day-of, and the day-after chemo were OK. I spent the E...

Cake... and Other Important Things: December 2011
http://cakeandotherimportantthings.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Cake and Other Important Things. I adore decorating, displaying, and eating cake. Here I'll share my ideas on this divine dessert and other things I love. A wedding cake I made Summer, 2009. Friday, December 23, 2011. There is a myriad of choices when it comes to gift giving. This Christmas season I've been paying attention to the slogans of many retail stores: "Real joy, guaranteed." "Real gifts, real joy! When someone gives you a gift, do you ever feel like the one you got for them doesn't compare?

Monday, September 27, 2010. If you're ever in a jam, here I am. Having said that, I want to tell you about a kindness that was given to my daughter Hannah and me today. I phoned one of my wonderful friends, Holly, and explained the sad tale. She didn't even hesitate when I asked for her help. I even found out...Lelia...

Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Don't you just love that? A while ago my husband brought a book home called "Don't You Just Hate That? 738 Annoying Things" by Scott Cohen. It's full of silly things that bug us in our every day lives. For example:. 84 Finding an old "To Do" list, most of which remains undone. PS I don't kno...

Nick, Brooke, Reagan, Elsa, & Cohen: Summer Continues
http://nickandbrookescheurer.blogspot.com/2015/08/summer-continues.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. For the most part, I have not felt like I've been missing out on the summer. Our winter was so mild, that it didn't leave me anxious for the warm weather, the way it has in the past. And the fact that we got that California vacation in, right before I was diagnosed, was perfect. I've been content to think back on those happy memories. It hasn't bothered me to see other families taking summer vacations. Surprising. And a Tender mercy, to be sure. We all met up for lunch at. Of cou...
