Some This, Some That, #NerdAlert and Cat.

Today was an awesome day. I woke up at quarter to ten after my mom just walked around the upstairs like a buzzing alarm clock.
"Courtney, Court, CEEBEE, COURTNEY, coooooourtttttneeeey, COOOOOURT!"
After about three "I"M UP"'s I finally got up. I threw on my long grey and black maxi skirt and black lulu tank. I don't know what I would do with out my lulu, its just.... no really I don't know what I would do. My friend D tweeted a little while back
"One does not simply throw out Lulu"
or something to that effect and I remember laughing hysterically because its so true. I still own everything I've ever bought from there, even from when I first discovered it, about 8 years ago. I have some haggard lulu pieces exhausted from being worn to death, but I just simply cannot part. If there is a place, where lulu is not acceptable attire, I think I get uncomfortable. I've had friends literally stop me from walking out the door, because I don't fool them. I did not take leggings and make them bar chic. I'm in leggings, not even like dressy ones with shine or faux leather but lulu ones. They've busted me with a
"nice try, now go change, we're going to a country club (::insert anywhere fancy, ok not even that fancy here::) for dinner not the library!"
HAHAH Ok but enough about my obsession.

I was bouncing off the walls today. I couldn't sit still, and I don't know if its because I finally got an amazing sleep, which in actuality, I didn't or what, but I was just in a long overdue good mood. My body was starting to feel a little bit better having had the weekend off from chemo. The Eagles played tonight (AND OMG WON) and I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for the season to start. (Although it makes me really sad, because there's nothing I love more than working in a sports bar, and chirping customers on their "football knowledge" or lack thereof. Its a wonder I make any money.)

My mum and I headed into radiation and I was so me. I have these days where I'm feeling good, I'm perky, I'm loud, and I'm just the bubbly blonde that people know and expect. Then there are other days where I emulate Anna Wintour's signature scowl behind HUGE sunglasses. (She's the editor and chief of Vogue, basically who the Devil Wears Prada was based off of.)

On the way to radiation I saw a white SUV with Ontario plates. The homesick pangs hit me hard. I should have known from a mile back that they were from Canada, you can just tell. Philly drivers cant drive, like at all, and New Jersey ones either anally assault you by making you fear for your life, or sit, in the passing lane, on their phones with a confused look on their faces. Long story short, it was nice to see some fellow Canadians, even if they did, dare I say it, not realize I was one of their own and think I was a New Jersian.... GASP!
I think it hit home even more so because there was a benefit back home for me this past weekend that I couldn't attend. It was just so cool to see first hand the support of friends and family. Its really frustrating because I feel more confident with words on paper (or screen) than I do anything else but how do u adequately thank people. People donating their time and money and how can you honestly show them how grateful you are. If I could, I would write every individual a thank you note, but its just not realistic, although I would be the one to try. So thank you to all who were involved, A, D, R, K, C, K... etc. etc.

My mom was on a roll with the funnies today. I developed a twitter page for SassyBlonde (You can follow @SassyBlondeCBG) because I find I forget so many things through out the day. I think my most common hashtag will be #ShitMyMomSays. For example,
"Court I'm driving, can you cloud message that for me."
I was like Uh mom, what do you mean by cloud message. I'm thinking something related to Icloud. She's like
"You know the green cloud- to send messages."
I burst out with a
"BAHAHAHAHAHAHA Do you mean text or Imessage."
She's so cute, once again so smart but sooo just ... hahah love you mom. ooooh But I can't let her get off that easy. After radiation we went to get food. Take advantage when I have an appetite. So we went to get pizza slices at Vitos (we're going to try the Paleo diet so we splurged). As we're pulling in she see's a black Acura SUV, A black Honda SUV and a black Hyundai SUV.
"LOOK they're twins!!!"
I was like
"Uh mom, they're all different, the only thing in common is the color."
My dad doesn't get off so easy either though. He's a gem too... haha as much as I make fun of the rentals, we're so alike. I couldn't resist, I actually laugh every time I look at this. Can you say #NerdAlert

Today was a good day, but I got home and finally it started to hit me. Its amazing how fast I feel it, nauseous, tired. I mean in retrospect we're microwaving my insides. I sat on the couch, I watched criminal minds. I read, but I just couldn't have it. As I was walking into the hospital this morning, I got a flash of nausea, and I knew it was just me being classically conditioned to feel like $#!% from the hospital. I didn't want my couch to have that same association, so I ended up falling asleep upstairs. It was needed, I wasn't feeling so hot and I didn't want a repeat of last week. Last week was terrible for me. I started the week off with my lunch box all ready to go- kids went back to school, I went back to radiation.

Mid way through the week I was hating my life. On Wednesday at chemo, as I sat in my chemo chair, I zeroed in on two trash cans mentally calculating which one was closer. I was pale, I was not feeling well and I was ready to just hide.

Days like today remind me I'm going to feel better... eventually. I'm going to get back to my old self. Its going to suck and take time but it will happen! I have friends and family who's support is out of this world. My Eagles are winning. I've got good books, finally a Christian Grey to look forward too, and now a new fondness for Sons of Anarchy because of it. My parentals are hilarious and MY SIS IS BACK FROM A FESTIVAL! Finally butt head, I've missed ya. Most importantly, I've got Dex. As I so proudly proclaimed to my bff back home
"I send selfies, trying to look hot and my cat photo bombs me" #ThatsHowIRoll (selfie not attached)

  1. Kors stock, in many ways, is not a bet on Mr. Kors, but on Lawrence S. Stroll and Silas K. F. Chou, the fashion tycoons who control the majority of the company's stock and have fueled its growth. Mr. Stroll and Mr. Chou run Sportswear Holdings Limited, which acquired Kors in 2003 for michael kors about $100 million. Their ambitions were to bring the luxury sensibility of Mr. Kors to the masses and turn it into the next great American designer firm. They sought to replicate their success with the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation. Mr. Stroll michael kors outlet store and Mr. Chou were early Tommy Hilfiger investors in the late 1980s and aggressively expanded that business, pushing it into department stores and broadening its www.michealkorsoutletonlinesaleinc.com customer base. The two men made millions when the company went public in 1992. (Today, Tommy Hilfiger is owned by the apparel giant PVH Corporation.)
    Since the initial public offering of Michael Kors Holdings in December 2011, Mr. Kors has sold about $700 million worth of the company’s stock.

  2. The first step, of course, is a cute little crossbody bag in a Miami-ready color. We’d go with the MICHAEL Michael Kors Selma Crossbody, filled with essentials like Kors’ classic aviators and slightly sparkly small leather goods. (It’s South Florida, after all – go shiny or michael kors outlet online go home.) Oh, and we can’t forget a watch; fashionably late is one thing, but chronically tardy is another, and the most stylish thing is to know the difference. Dab on a little lip gloss michael kors outlet and perfume and you’ll be set from poolside brunch to after-hours dance party. You can shop a full selection of Kors’ Basel-ready pieces at MichaelKors.com.
    But something goes awry circa the handles. I like the michael kor outlet store knotted shoulder strap – it seems appropriate on this kind of bag where it might look cheap on something more tailored or formal. But then there’s the tote straps for hand-carrying, and they’re so plain michael kors wallets and flat that they look like a complete afterthought. The shoulder strap isn’t so ridiculously long that you couldn’t use it to carry the bag by hand or in the crook of your arm, so michael kors outlet online sale why add them on anyway?
    I think it might be. Or perhaps the problem is that his brand doesn’t emphasize it enough – I’m not exactly sure what the issue is, but the brand hasn’t mk purses outlet “caught” as a major power in handbags like one would expect when you consider the huge financial and marketing arm that the brand has behind it.I talk about Princess Michael Kors himself every week in michael kors outlet online sale my Project Runway recap, but it’s much more rare that we sit down and discuss one of his handbag designs in a serious way, despite the fact that His Royal Highness’s brand put out a michael kors outlet big line of bags every season.

    Mixed in with the other numbers in our New Balance October mbts 2014 preview was the New Balance 572, a seldom seen model that’s popping up now under the Elite christian louboutin outlet Edition banner.

    The red-sole treatment was born more out of accident than design. One afternoon, a prototype Louboutin was working on just didn't "pop." An Nike Air Max 2015 assistant was painting her nails at the time.
