A Cancer Survivor & Fighter's Blog
It’s getting to be that time of year to start thinking about Christmas gifts. Last night Todd and I went out to dinner at one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Rockville Town Square and then wandered around looking at some of the shops. They have this great toy store called Toy Kingdom and we started checking out stuff for the boys. I can’t WAIT until they are both old enough to get some of the cool science kits they have like crystal making, and solar observation. I used to love that stuff as a kid.
Practically, because Daniel is still little and toys need to be safe for both boys I think we should get them some of those big wooden building blocks and maybe some fake food. Ethan loves the fake food in the kitchen they have at day care and he constantly plays with the shopping cart uncle Tom got for him.
Because I am so hard to shop for this year I am actually trying to make a reasonable Christmas wish list. This is what I’ve come up with so far:
A new Vera Bradley purse in Caffe Latte or Java Blue
Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks gift cards
A subscription to the National Association of Neonatal Nurses journal
…and of course my number one wish, a cancer free 2010!
What’s on your Christmas wish list?
My name is Kate Stowell. I’m a cancer survivor two times over! I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1997 and diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 2009. Besides surviving cancer, I am a graduate of SUNY Geneseo (2004) and SUNY Binghamton (2006) and work as a registered nurse in a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I have two wonderful children, a loving husband, and a sweet black lab. The purpose of this blog is to keep a record of all the ups and downs my growing family goes through both during treatment and everyday life. I welcome questions and comments. Welcome!
