    Good Morning---

    BBBernie Oh such a nice tome--wonderful pictures of the 3 of u and the furbabies too. How fabulous--U are so nice to everyone and Cyn has haf such a wonderful time. Bless u Bernie--one in a million--u get more visitors in Ireland than we get in the states. LOL

    It's Fried day today for all u worker bees, it's feels good. I'm still tired --this is my first wake up Ihave at least 3.to go. I know I'm lazy. And I have to finish my bedroom cleaning--I feel like a chid sometimes (don't I wish) I actually reported to my DD what I did yesterday she started LOLing , I guess the way I said it. Oh well I'm left alone for the most part--which I like.

    Ohhhhhhh I love all those pictures!! Feels like I am right there again, with you. And all the furbabies on the couch....they are so cute. Really beautiful pictures of ALL of you, too....awesome!

    Becks, We have 2 large magnolia trees in our backyard, and they are blooming heavily right now. Can just walk by and smell the fragrance, however if we bring one into the house it can be overwhelming. Glad you have that scent to use, it smells so good. Also, my large gardenia (5') is covered with blooms too, and I LOVE that smell, cuz it reminds me of home. Oh, I didn't raise my girls totally on my own, just for a couple of years when they were a baby and toddler, then again after their daddy died when they were 14 and 17 till they left home (he adopted them when we married while they were still young and was the BEST father and husband ever). I walked both of them down the aisle, which moved my heart, but also saddened me a lot since their daddy was not there. My DH now (for 15+yrs) loves to travel, so even though I had been out of the country before, I had never traveled as extensively as I have since we met. For the first few yrs we were gone more than we were  home. Would have 2-3 trips out of the country a month, plus domestic trips. Even a wk or two after a trip we would have to look at the calendar to remember where we had been! lol.

    Cami you are so funnnneeeeee.....reporting to your DD....~LOL~

    Thanks for all the prayers everyone. I am saying prayers for all of you, too. My DD sees another onco dr today, but just to see what he says...more tests Monday. Haven't gotten biopsy results from my DH's procedure this week, yet. So much happening......

    Muah!

    Oh Kat u'r playing the waiting game--I neer minded for myself but hated it all for my DD;s--it's much worse (IMHO) Naturally prayers for all dealable things--I'm so sorry u've going thru this.

    I'm so hsppy u have had 2 wonderful men in u'r life, some of us haven't had 1---(me, for 1) but my choices so I'm to blame.

    I hope u'r days bring good news and good thoughts.

    Lara nothing looks great yet, but I haven't looked competely for our scary movies---I hope u feel better today.

    LOL on your comment on Cyn's boobs, Lara....and hers are NATURAL! Did you notice Bernie's DH in the window reflection as he took the picture? He is SO nice, too. And shoot, everyone looks so slim in those pics...I am jealous! Nah, not really, but I need to lose a few or 50....

    Cami, my late DH was my real soulmate....only had 12 yrs with him, but they were wonderful. We all (me and my DD's) miss him everyday. But YES, I do feel lucky, esp to have had my soulmate, not everyone gets that..went thru some bad ones though, before him!!!

    OMG I just realized what BBL meant, I thought it stood for bubble and thought I don't understand. I HAVE to find the Wizard for a brain.

    Kat I'm sorry u had such a short time with u'r soulmate, never found mine and know I won't now, but I know too u are happy now so u have been blessed and u deserve to be--u have a good heart.

    Julie I don't know howu do it---that's a long crummy hours of work. I'm not trying to make u feel bad but u and NM hve a gift of a selfless soul, I guess that's how. The first 4 mos. of chemo I worked a 12 hr day  and the next day 8 hrs and so on when I could.I was over 60 then and I didn't do it for any other reason except money, but even for money I couldn't do it now. LOL

    All of u are very special people and it's wonderful to be part of our getting to be sober Lounge--so I suggest everyone start drinking again. Then perfection.

    Becs I didn't see stella, but she's a quickliest sort and moves like the wind--so maybe u did, but I didn't see it.

    Good Morning all--Getting up this early is not my thing, I feel like going right back to sleep __I have things to do before the BD party today---now I'm like I can't wait for it to be over--I'm awful I just want the percafountain and I'll be better, of course then I'm tired. so no one is up so I might as wel go back to sleep for a while--but it's light out. Like that has stopped me before.

    You are very observant Becks....I didn't notice her at first, but YUPPERS there she is in Bernie's hand, in the pic of Bernie, Cyndie, and Jodie (With Bernie's DH's reflection in window while he was taking the pic). You can't see her well, but Cyn put Ken's clothes on her Stella! So cute.

    We are not facing good news at all here. Really appreciate any prayers for my daughter. This last dr was all "doom and gloom", saying she will need rads, feeding tube, chemo, etc. Needless to say, with her panic attacks this is hard to fathom. I am not up to partying right now, but do look forward to a couple of drinks at night..."my time to zone out". Thanks for all your support. Am hoping we cal get through this and she will be ok, then I can be back here as my old self.

    Hugssssssssssssssss,

    Kathy

    P.S. to Cami.....when there is an acroynm I don't know, I "google" it...helps a lot, as I am not so savvy with all the lingo either!

    Good morning, Loungettes!  Lovely sunny Saturday ayem, got plant to put in the garden, mowing to do, gonna spend a lot of time outside today.  Was on call Thursday night, got a call at 3:30 ayem, didn't have to go out but I didn't really sleep good either. Made up for it last night, though!  May have to go out and get some likker, though, by evening.  I'm thinking something fruity on the deck this evening as I rest from my yard labors. 

    Cammy--I have tried those drinks you freeze in the packet, some are good, some are not so good.  I really like the frozen sangria one.  They are plenty strong enough for me, but probably not as strong a many would like.  Hmm, I've never tried Mike's, I may have to try that this evening. 

    ORLA--I am so glad the girls are beginning to look better!  I am so hoping you'll be happy with them in time. 

    Cammy--getting crabby is a sign of recovery, you know! 

    Wahine--Yup, I got to the nursery, got tomatos, peppers, basil, greek oregano, and there was a BOGO table, so I got a bunch of lupine to transplant on the hill beside my yard.  I'm trying     to  get it naturalized with stuff so I don't have to mow it.  It's rather steep and makes me nervous to mow with riding mower, worse with a push mower.  Gonna get out the seeds I ordered and play in the dirt today.  I can't eat hot stuff like pepperoni and jalapeno, so I would never drink that DOTD, but I know others like that kind of stuff.  Your DD has every right to be depressed, this is such a hard phase in this journey.

    ORLA--YES!  Join us in the wine tasting room ASAP! 

    Wahine--from my point of view doing what you needed to do to raise your two on your own is a major life accomplishment all by itself!  And I bet that you don't define yourself by your work, and don't get in a funk when things get crazy at work like I tend to. And BTW, I learned a lot from the LPNs I have and still work with.  As far as I am concerned LPNs are full nurses. 

    Cammy--sounds like Joey knows just exactly what you are!  

    Now I KNOW I don't want to eat at Taco Bell!

    CynCyn--So good to hear you had a grand time with Bernie!  Can't wait for you to get home and post the pics.  But enjoy the rest of your trip first!

    Becs--You sound like someone who has trouble balancing personal and work life, like me.  Make sure you have something separate from work that is important to you, too, in case work gets totally tanked!

    BBBBernie--Oh, my, such fun!!!!!!!!!  Poor tired puppies!

    Wahine--praying for the second opinion and your DD.  OK, how can any Onc give any realistic advice when the path reports aren't in yet?  Something doesn't seem right, here. 

    Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is the Garden Party

    1 fl. oz. (2 Tbs.) fresh lime juice

    1 fl. oz. (2 Tbs.) agave syrup

    4 sprigs fresh cilantro; more for garnish

    3 1/4-inch-thick slices English cucumber

    1 1/4-inch-thick slice jalapeño

    2 fl. oz. (1/4 cup) 100% agave blanco (silver) tequila, preferably Lunazul

    Combine the lime juice, agave syrup, cilantro sprigs, 2 of the cucumber slices, and the jalapeño in a chilled cocktail shaker. Muddle well. Add the tequila and fill the shaker with ice. Put the lid on the shaker and make sure you have a tight seal. Shake as hard as you can for 30 seconds and then strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. Rub the remaining cucumber slice around the rim of the glass to season it; then use it to garnish the drink, along with a sprig of cilantro.

    To make agave syrup

    Combine equal parts light agave nectar and hot water and stir to dissolve. Let cool completely before using. Store in the refrigerator between uses for up to 1 month.

    Dork, so happy your Mom is on the mend. Hang in there!!!



    NM, yes I do need to broaden my horizons for sure. I think a quarterly cruise would be fabulous!



    Hugs to everyone. Me n Annie on our way to airport to pick up her daddy! BBL XYZ LMNOP ha Cams on the acronyms...Bubbles!!! Muah!

    Good evening, Loungette!  I am one very tired, very dirty, and very happy Loungette.  It's taken me all day, but I have mowed the font yard and the dog yard, put  tomatos, basil, cucumber, lettuce and greek oregano in the garden and put in foxglove along part of Sadie's fencing and planted morning glory seeds behind them, hoping they will climb the chain link.  I've got some lupine to plant tomorrow.  Looking forward to a hot shower and a cold drink!

    DorKable--Your Mom eating great is a WONDERFUL sign!  So sad you have to go to a funeral, I hope the fancy lunch after helps clear the sorrows away. 

    Becs--before I became poor I used to go on cruises for vacations.  It was great!  Maybe someday I can afford to do that again.  In the meantime, I'm looking into some bus trips to the thee-at-tor in New York for some diversion.  Have fun at the airport!

    Dork and Kat u were special in my prayers last nite-just a little extra and Dork I'm glad u'r mom is eating that IS a good sign. Kat please keep us informed on everything for u'r DD.

    Lara still pain??? I'm glad u'r seeing the Dr. soon

    Becs I always like when u have Annie--it makes for a better time.

    We had a great BD party for Joey--everything went well--it didn't rain---my sister and cousins and a bunch of others --good food, drinks, and laughs--we all had a great time --my 2 DDs made some of the food and my SIL made the rest-So I missed my movies, but put them on DVR so today I'm resting --pain found me yesterday and back with a vengence today. So I'll take what I need and relax. and watch my movies. I was up first and made coffee for my SIL-LOL

    Knock knock, may I come in?

    OMG, well I am sneaking in after being gone just one day shy of 2 months. But let me tell you, not a day has gone by that I did not think of you girls. I hope everyone is well, obviously I can't read everything that I have missed. I am going to try to be here every morning.

    NM, be careful with those Morning Glory's, although VERY pretty, they drop their seeds and come up EVERYWHERE, and they will literally choke other things out, as they wrap around it. Did you see my garden pictures?

    Well, where are the Tenders...............I need me a stiff one. A drink girls, a drink!

    Thanks for all the prayers, still needed very much, so please keep them coming.

    Cami, I hate it when you are in such pain. Glad the party was worth it though....sounded like a great time. BUT now, I hope the pain meds will help and you can just chill out today. Let the Tenders spoil you!

    Funny muddy dog cartoon, Julie!

    NM, Wow, you really went on a planting frenzy. HOPE you aren't paying for it today with soreness all over! I could google it, but don't know what "lupine" is...think I have heard of it before, but right now am clueless. Thanks for your PM's, they really mean a lot, and give us more info on questions to ask. I hope she makes it through the procedure tomorrow without freaking out (panic)...not sure I could do that either. But I'll be taking the kids to swim team class, and an art class at Michaels.

    Very glad that your mom is eating better, Dotty! AND that your dad seems to be happy living with you, and complimenting you too. It is so great you were able to find a place for him in your home, and welcomed him there. My parents took us out to eat last night, and my mom seemed more out-of-it. I don't think she has taken her pills all week (or longer, since we got home), and I have been so busy with what my DD is going through, that I haven't been reminding her. They will leave this Wed for 3 wks in Hawaii, and I sure hope she takes her pills there! It does scare me what this trip might do to her memory (long trip, plus being away so long from the home she loves here). My dad who was also always so sharp is slipping, too. (not physically, but in memory and comprehension).

    Lara, hope your pain went away! And continued good healing for you. Glad they are looking bettah!

    Becs, Enjoy your time with Annie!

    Cyn, Now I forget when you are coming home, but glad your DD will join you in FL for awhile....awesome! Plus your other company....you will be so busy, but HAPPILY busy! Can't wait to hear more about your trip.

    Missing Lori, Allison, Sue, JeanBean, Unde, and others. Hope you are all doing well.

    Gonna dig into this amazing Father's Day Buffet the Wenches made for us! Plus all the fountains are going...percotini fountain, mimosa fountain, margarita fountain....and amazing drinks lined up on the bar. Taking my plate and HUGE dwink to a nice lounge chair by the pool.....
