Like McAdams loves Gosling

Earlier today I had a follow-up appointment for the skin cancer that was removed from my left arm, and while I was there I had two more suspicious spots of skin removed, one from my neck, one from right above my belly button. He also injected two old scars with steroids to reduce their size, so by the time I walked out of there I had four giant bandages on my body, one on my shin, one on my stomach, one on my neck, and one poking up from the collar of my shirt. Afterward I stopped by a nearby Target because I hadn't been to one since yesterday. The girl who helped me at check-out couldn't stop staring at the mess on my neck and finally asked if I was okay.

Heather talks about Valentine's Day on today's Momversation.

  • I know zero about sports, but my entire heart is screaming, "Go Saints! Go Saints!" I am a stereotypical woman. TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE, JON!
  • Marlo has a tooth! So says the blood that she drew when she grabbed my hand and tried to gnaw off my thumb!
  • Leta won't eat her birthday cake. I guess we should have made it out of chicken nuggets and iced it with refried beans.
