Wild and crazy stickers

I had a grandma who taught elementary school for years, and who liked to collect and save things. After my grandma passed away a few years ago, my mom found a set of plastic drawers filled with stickers -- probably hundreds and hundreds of stickers. Somehow, these stickers ended up in the back of one of my closets (because I also like to collect and save things). When I cleaned out the closets for the new carpet installation, WCK found the stickers and became obsessed with them. The other day, I walked into her room after "rest" time, and found that she had stuck what looked like hundreds of stickers all over her walls and furniture.

"Look, Mommy!" she said. "I decorated for a party!"

Then, while she was supposed to be helping me take the stickers down, she ran into the other room, got the scissors, and cut up a pharmacy receipt that we needed for our medical savings plan. It was a really fun afternoon. At least she is working on her fine-motor skills. I really don't understand why using scissors is an important skill they need to learn at preschool. I would really rather WCK not know how to use scissors. It's only a matter of time before an unfortunate haircut occurs.

Fortunately, the stickers are all really old and have lost much of their stickiness, so they came off the wall really easily. How old are they? Among the stickers I removed were ones featuring Robin Williams as Mork, one that said "Aqua Velva Dude" and one that said, "Well, excuuuuuuuuuse me!"

Bleh.

My M-spike is at 1.7 again. I'm not sure what that means. I'm sure it's not too big of a deal, but we'll find out when I see Dr. H in about a week. Bleh. (That's "bleh" to the M-spike, not to Dr. H, who is delightful.)

last chemo.







One of the nurses brought me a balloon, which was quite touching. I did shed a tear or two.





Now I'm lying on the living room floor intermittently puking and watching Showgirls. And slowly, sllooowwwly waiting for my hair to grow back...

Jon Lovitz Supports OCRF With New Comedy Club Opening

Lovitz will perform opening night at The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, located on CityWalk at Universal Studios Hollywood. The club features a Hawaiian beach motif, complete with sand dunes, palm trees, and delicious food for club-goers, and boasts a three-story, 400 seat capacity in which to enjoy live music and stand-up comedy.

A long-time friend of Faith Kates Kogan, president of OCRF's Board of Directors and founder of NEXT Model Management, Lovitz has participated in several of OCRF's signature events throughout the years, including Super Saturday LA. NEXT Model Management will co-host the gala benefit.

"It feels good to be able to do something like that," Lovitz says of his support for OCRF. Referencing Gilda Radner and Madeline Kahn, he recognizes that many great women in comedy have been taken too soon from cancer. "The whole point is to raise money for a cure and also for early detection."

OCRF thanks Jon Lovitz for his ongoing support, and for all that he has done to spread awareness and raise funds to continue the progression of ovarian cancer research. We wish him the best of luck in his endeavor, and encourage everyone to stop by the club to enjoy a great night of entertainment.
