    I am just a little excited to take my daugher to her check up at the cancer center tomorrow. They have recently had end of treatment bells donated to them and she will get to ring it! After over two years of worry and watching, we ended treatment in June and she has been cancer free since then. She may never really realize how big a thing she has been through, but I know there are parts she will never forget.

    This post makes me unbelievably happy for you both!
    Congrats on her being cancer free! What a strong little girl she must be! I'm sure you will remember the sound of that bell ringing forever! <3<3

    Big yay!! When I showed her picture in the BatCave to my husband, he asked if we could have her. ;) She's adorable and looks like she has a LOT of life in her! I'm glad she's cancer-free to live it to the max. <3

    I confess it always baffles me when someone brings up that I am left handed as it is some rare disease. Any other lefties here?

    right here!!
    the "omg, you're left handed?!?!" has gotten a bit old.
    as has the "wow, i never knew you were left handed!"
    ummm....because it doesn't really matter, perhaps?

    So much this!

    I hate spiral notebooks & binders!

    I also remember having a hard time tying my shoes when I was first learning because everyone was trying to show me right handed.

    the worst for me was being forced to use pencils in elementary school.
    the whole side of my hand would be silver, and the notes would be all smeared. ugh

    @LBuehrle8 Ok, you're off to the UK very soon. Here's your food list! Some Harry Potter related, some just British stuff that you have to try. In no particular order. (And to the Brits: Yes, I know that nobody in the UK eats like this really! Some of these are just things I miss and enjoy when we visit. Feel free to add to Laura's list!)

    Treacle Tart
    Bangers & Mash
    Cream cake from a bakery
    Curry from a proper curry house (ideally at 11pm after the pub closes)
    Sherbert lemons
    Bacon sandwich
    'Full English' breakfast
    Cornish pasty
    Trifle
    Chocolate Frog
    Spotted Dick & custard
    Pork pie
    Crumpets
    Cream Tea
    Fish and chips (ideally eaten with fingers on a beach)
    Butterbeer
    Sunday roast (pubs are good if nobody wants to cook)
    Toad In The Hole
    More curry

    Your forgot MARMITE! I love it myself.

    :s

    Thanks for all the well wishes everyone!!
    @Susieq_1994 -Yes she does have a lot of life in her, she rules the roost and knows it! Just offer up supportive thoughts for her kindergarten teacher this fall. That lady is gonna need it with her.

    I will try and video the event, as far as make up goes, I may not wear any due to the fact it will be running down my face if I do!!

    I have to admit that, having been a nursery and kindergarten teacher myself, I'd be VERY afraid to see that little face in my class. ;) All the support in the world from me to her teacher! :o

    My dad and little brother are both left handed. He also got my dads blue eyes :disappointed:

    I have a bag of sherbert lemons by my bed! Not sure why, I bought them and some rhubarb and custards for the plane and only took the others. They're unopened, I don't lie in bed and eat them!

    Also, irrelevant to this, but I am right handed, but do a lot with my left hand, and can write legibly with it. I also do my eyeliner on each eye with the corresponding hand. My friends find this really weird.

    My mom is like this, too. She's right-handed, but she can use her left hand almost as well as she uses her right when she needs to. Growing up, I always thought that was SO weird. :p

    YAYYY!! That's such a neat thing, here's to hoping she stays cancer free for a long long time! <3

    Ditto! I hope she has a blast ringing the bell.

    Haha when I showed SO the list he was like well we'll cross off half the things on that list but I have no idea what a chocolate frog is (he must be the only person I know who hasn't read Harry Potter!) So I had to explain to him that Harry Potter things were mixed into that list, it was hilarious :)

    He's not the only one who hasn't read it.. *raises hand*
    And yeah, what is Marmite?

    It seems none of the UKians care to answer this, so I will. It's a nasty-looking gunky brown yeast spread that's popular in Australia, and apparently the UK. What I've heard is that you can only love it or hate it--there's no in between. It sounds nasty to me--they sell it here, but I've never tried it. It's also known as Vegemite, I believe.

    Exactly this! Ignore everyone else! Ha ha

    @crosbylee that is wonderful!

    Speaking of good things, I'm currently celebrating a mini win with Raelynn! She's been talking about going to the water park all weekend, so I took her today, and she had a ball! I was worried because it was crowded and she's on the leery side when it comes to water, but she enjoyed every minute of it! No, I didn't get pictures since I was taking every bit of today in, but believe me, this mama has been smiling all day! :smiley:

    That is fantastic!!! Glad to see her step out of her shell a bit and find something wonderful!! I don't blame you for just enjoying the day with her. Sometimes those memories are the best! :)

    Okay to all my British pals- asked the SO what marmite is ( I didn't want to tell him y'all had already told me as he likes explaining those kinds of things to me :)) his reponse- "Eugh marmite is some disgusting vegetable spread. It's slogan is you either love it or hit it which tells you a lot!" I cracked up as this was the same response from a lot of you!
