Tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is finally Danielle's Bat Mitzvah!  I am so excited for it, so in preparation today Mom and I are going to get Manicures and Pedicures!   But last night we went to Kohls (mostly because we had a coupon) and of course shopped.  I think I am going to like Christmas this year!  But in the meantime before tomorrow I am going to be working on my portfolio for my creative writing class that is due on Tuesday then I am done until I go to Ramapo!  Oh and of course tomorrow starts the countdown to Christmas!!
Love,
Sarah

Welcome to the land of Boredom!!!!

As the title says; Welcome to the Land of Boredom!!!  I have nothing to do and it isn't helping.  I have NOTHING to do, so much so that last night I fell asleep by 9:30pm and woke up at 10am.  Also yesterday I went to the Dr to get a Mantoux test so that I could go back to school!  Next on my list of things to do is get my nails done and make Danielle her card.  Oh and still figure out what to do for all my loved ones for Christmas!  At least this weekend will be filled with fun and entertainment!
What are you all doing this weekend??????
Love,
Sarah

Getting Ready!

This week is crazy!  First after I woke up I went to Lisa's to get my hair all trimmed up for Danielle's Bat Mitzvah!  Then I made all the phone calls for school and the best part is I do not need to take a placement test for english or math!!!!!!!!!  Next I tried on a few different outfits to decide what exactly I am going to wear to the Bat Mitzvah.  Tomorrow's agenda involves going to the Dr to get a mantaux test to go back to school!  Then guitar lessons and hopefully free movie Tuesday.

I am so excited for this bat mitzvah and I have to get a picture of me with my girls because the last picture I have of the 3 of us was my high school prom which was in 2010! So that is going to change!
Xoxoxo

Me and my little girls <3 

Its beginning

Its beginning to look a lot like the holidays! Last night we went to dinner at the Country Club with Caryn and Jim.  Today Mom and I spent the day decorating for Christmas! Then tonight I have the pleasure of babysitting my two favorite girls Jaime and Danielle.  I am also having difficulty deciding what to get all my loved ones for Christmas or Hanukkah.  I am excited for the holidays because this year I will remember them unlike last year!
What are you all making or getting for your friends and loved ones ?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!
This year I am thankful for being alive, and all the people who stood by my family and I while I was battling and defeating cancer!! I am also thankful for all of my friends and family no matter how I met them!  So last night on Thanksgiving Eve, Dad and I went to the city and saw the balloons blown up! Today we are spending Thanksgiving with the Scannella family, who I basically consider my second family, and dinners and holidays at their house are always entertaining. Oh and Happy 20th Birthday to the best Little I could've asked for!

So what are you all doing on this Thanksgiving?
Love,
Sarah

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE!!

Sleepy Saturday

So I woke up to Mom almost burning the kitchen down; she was attempting to make soup and the pot cracked, oil leaked then flames!  Then started my breakfast with the usual of two Eggo Waffles.  Then I finished my book Sorority Girls by Claudia Welch.  I recommend this book to every girl who is in a sorority or is considering rushing one! I also had a photo shoot with Greg; he took the pictures while I modeled Mom's latest knitting projects that are now finished.  Then I looked at all my Gamma Rho sisters' pictures of initiation that was last night!   Finished the day with Pizza for dinner.  Now I am starting another book and then eventually going to sleep because for some reason I'm exhausted.

My newest Favorite Book.

RESULTS DAY

Today was the day the results come in. Mom shook me awake I got ready, and off we went.  Naturally once we left we realized all we forgot but kept going anyways.  Checked in, and then did the normal routine minus the blood test.  I lost 4 more pounds so Mom and I both weren't to thrilled.  Finally they come in and say the results aren't in yet.  So then the nerves began thinking Why don't they have them, they said they'd have the results by now.  Finally Dr. Morganstein came back in and said STABLE. THE MRI IS STABLE. I immediately did a dance.  3 more months of no doctor and no MRI until February 2013. So then we got home and Dad and I went to a celebratory lunch at Wendy's and then did the shopping of course. But boy am i happy.  This is a Great day for one and all.

Let the Waiting Begin!

My MRI was Yesterday.  It was easy since I was so tired I hadn't really slept before; and we were running late and they took me right in, so I didn't have to sit and wait and think about it forever.  The first part went smoothly and then they pulled me out to put in the dye via my port; and holy crap did it hurt!! I think it hurt mostly because my port hadn't been accessed since my last MRI in August.  In I went again and before I knew it, it was over!  Then I slept again the entire way home from RWJUH.  Later that afternoon I had guitar lessons, which are fun yet frustrating.  Later that night Greg and I went to Free movie Tuesday and saw Argo! I enjoyed it.  Then when we came home it was 10 and you think I'd be tired, but I wasn't.  I then tried putting in my cartilage piercing and I think I pretty much re-pierced it because my ear started bleeding....oops!! Getting to sleep became annoying because my port was hurting; I think again because it hadn't been accessed in so long.  But now the waiting game begins for the results, in less than 24 hours I will know the results and I hope they are excellent! Dr. Morganstein is really going to enjoy tomorrow when I hand him all the paperwork that has to be filled out for me to go back to school! So if anyone has any ideas how I can stay occupied today PLEASE let me know!! Well I hope everyone has a good day!
XOXO

MRI TOMORROW

Tomorrow is my 6 month post treatment MRI!!!! I AM FREAKING OUT!! I hate the closed MRI especially because my head is encased in some contraption!  And even though they put in ear-plugs you can still hear the machine.  So no Wonder why I freak out!!! Especially because I'm in there for what seems like forever!! Hopefully after this one they'll say I only need an MRI like every 6 months or  even better once a year; though I doubt it because they just love torturing me!!
So for now I am calming myself with music and then some television!! I DESERVE A GIFT/PRIZE FOR DOING THIS!!! Its like my worst nightmare!!

HOME!!

All I can say is boy does it feel good to be in my own bed! Not that I don't like being at Grandmas I do....ALOT!  But there's a time when you feel like you should be home!  Oh also because my MRI is the day after tomorrow EEK!! I hate the MRI, to say the least I'd rather eat a bug or vegetables all day then participate in this MRI!  But thats all that's going on here!
Time to hunker down in my bed and read or watch TV!!!
Love,
Sarah

One more Day

Well Mom and I are staying in Saratoga just one more day!  Since the boys said the power went out again but is apparently back on! Though I hate to leave Grandma's because I have been so productive, since I've been here I've accomplished my homework, registered for Orientation at Ramapo, and read two books!  Yes thats right I finished another book!  I loved it; just reading a book for pleasure without worrying when the paper was due or the date of the test on the material!  Thats all thats really been happening!
Love,
Sarah

latest book I've finished!

POWER RESTORED

I think yesterday's entry asking for the power to be restored worked!! AS OF TODAY WE HAVE POWER!! So tonight I am enjoying my last night at Grandma's before Christmas.  But in essence I have a accomplished a lot while at Grandmas; I finished a book, spent lots of time on Pinterest, school-work, some shopping and of course a daily lunch at Panera!  An added bonus was while I was here I did get to spend two days with my cousins!!

Here is a picture of me and the book I just finished! I highly recommend it!
Well thats all for now!
Love,
Sarah

No Power

Dear Electric Company
It has been 10 days without power.  This has an affect on schools, and everyone in general.  Especially people like me whom have a suppressed immune system and can't survive the cold very long!  Luckily we were able to make it to my grandparents but it is nicer when you can stay in your own home.  I know based on the situation I am lucky to have a home but it would be great if heat and power came along with it.
Not that Grandma's house hasn't been fun, I just miss my own room and bed.  Not to mention my own TV with DVR.  I don't even want to think about how many of my favorite shows haven't recorded because the power is still yet to be restored.  Not to mention at Grandma's I don't have my full wardrobe!! I am anxiously awaiting, everytime my phone or my moms phone rings we think it could be Dad or Greg announcing we can come home because the power is back on; however every single time it has been saying sorry to disappoint you but no the power is still not on!  Enough is Enough already!  I understand you needed time to get all the parts for transformers but in todays day when there is over-night shipping you should really have things restored.
Sincerely,
A kid who really misses all of her belongings

On a positive note GLEE RETURNS TONIGHT!!

Oh what an Adventure...Thanks Sandy!!

Well the past few days/week or so has been quite an adventure.  First, Greg and I find out that our Grandfather has passed.  Then preparation for Hurricane Sandy!! The stores were so packed it was crazy!  But as usual our house lost power, and unfortunately is still out of power.  But everything and everyone else is fine.  I was so cold and tired of having no light that Mom and I came to Saratoga early! Its always fun to be at Grandmas house, good food, cousins and especially this time HEAT!! The best part even though the circumstances weren't so great, I got the opportunity to see all of my cousins and extended family.  Of course we topped the weekend off with a trip to Sushi Thai Garden; the grandchildren's' favorite restaurant!

Mom and I are still here because I refused to go home back to the freezing cold house.  But don't worry I already voted (thank you mail-in ballot!) But hopefully the power will come back on soon because I miss my shows, TV and BED!!

I Hope everyone else was as lucky as I was to only lose power.  If not I am so sorry and let me know if I can help in anyway!!!
Love,
Sarah
