What the cuss!?

Today I had my remicade infusion. Two hours with an IV stuck in my arm doesn't initially sound appealing but, oh it is. Because all I have to do is sit in a big chair(I was about to say a big, comfy chair but it's really just a hunk of cushy plastic), watch a movie or read a book, and indulge in an excessive amount of food. Today, before we left for the hospital, we stopped at Blockbusters to get a movie. Now, we must be careful of the movie we select on these occasions because there are sweet little nurses that constantly check in on me(Does she still have a pulse? Yes but WHAT is she watching!?). So today I believe I selected the perfect film for the affair.

Fantastic Mr. Fox. I absolutely loved it. I loved how all the characters talked in the same, soft, tone of voice, even the antagonists it seemed. I especially liked how they replaced each and every swear word with 'Cuss'. Thus the name of this post. I like how you could see how the billowing smoke was made from what looked like cotton balls dyed gray. All in all, the movie was much more than I expected.

And what else is going on in my life besides needles and witty foxes? Well remember that Girls on Ice thing I talked about previously? I was denied. But oh well. There were 170 girls who signed up for it and only nine were chosen. I'm actually a bit surprised with how little I was bothered by not being accepted. I guess because I will force my Summer to be epic regardless. And do you know what will nourish an epic Summer? A drivers license. Which I can get in almost a month. I am officially done and over with drivers ed, which is a huge relief.

I've also put a lot of thought into Candy Striping. It would be a great way to get volunteer hours in and just an all around amazing experience. The medical field is something I've always been interested in. And with my fancy new license I will be getting shortly, I won't have a problem transporting myself to the location.

Well, I'm off to get ready for a new day. As always...
