how about drinking?

I everyone. I enjoyed drinking and smoking before my diagnosis 6 months ago with stage 4 at age 41. I quit smoking in December and started chemo in January. I enjoy beer at BBQ's and wine with dinner but for now I've cut it back to once or twice/week but not the few days before/after chemo. I figure my liver is working hard enough and I can wait. A cocktail sounds good right now, I may have to celebrate the end of chemo with several

Hi Everyone,
Wow has it been quiet in here or did I miss posts--I looked back but didn't see any that I missed.
Jazzy after watching that first video of swimming I'm sure u can teach u'r self, cuz u'r so good at laps, well it would seem easy for u. And loved the video too. Now why is it that certain video everyone seems to have a good time, <mostly jazz> others even tho they are smiling it just looks like a huge effort. I never saw this one before, nice and easy.
Peggy what is it, men are supposed to call after 3 days <according to TV> that's the proper time, so u won't hear anything yet.
Busy as can be, I was taking calls so fast at one point I did get all info backwards when I was sending email, shows I can't take pressure or I just screw up the more I do. It was loads of water tanks and A/C units and then inspection reports, <people are moving soon>. I gave them names that could not possibly be names in any language and addresses that don't exist. I was batting 100 today. Every time I needed to get my legs up I was back on the puter, altho I stayed nice to everyone, I just kept on getting things wrong. And of course there is no spell check with numbers and names really. LOL And I do step in anyway when the guys are running late and somehow try to blame it on me. So today I really sounded like a blabbering idiot. Oh well That just means it's Monday.
I started falling asleep and thunder woke me so now I'm awake, chit. And it's kind of warm too.
Marty's got a terrible cold, so everyone is staying away from him, this time he's starting it--it's usually Leslie. She's always patient Zero, aha now he is. So he's not allowed in here at all. I miss him.
OK I'll try again to go to sleep, just took some stuff.
See ya latah

Welcome Illimae, I'm so sorry u'r here, not this post, just here in general--wow u quit smoking and drinking all at once. That's something. How far along are u in treatment. I hope u can feel comfortable here and fill us in on all that's going on with you.. We have a lot of knowledgeable ladies here, and we're good listeners so anytime u want just share what ever u'r comfortable with. And hoping u stay with us, u'll be sharing all kinds of stuff like we do.

Welcome, Illimae! Hope that once you’ve completed chemo you can go back to enjoying your wine & beer more often. Good call on quitting smoking!
Kim, my garden’s not all that big. The strip along the west fence used to be great for tomatoes & strawberries—especially after my old neighbors & I decided to let our hostas be our “fence”—but the old neighbors passed away and the nice young couple who bought their house insisted on a 6’ privacy fence. I said nothing higher than 4’, which is standard on our block and also lets light in; we settled on 5’, but no space between the pickets. As a result, the strip gets sun only in the morning—enough for herbs but not tomatoes. So I grow my tomatoes and some of my herbs on my deck—the little tomato seedlings look ridiculous right now in the giant 15” pots, but by mid-July they’ll need staking and caging. We might see if the hanging basket of cascading cherry tomatoes can grow on a pedestal (braced to the deck rails to keep from being blown over in storms). Our old deck had hooks for hanging wind chimes and bird feeders, but not this one.
Yesterday, my son Gordy took me to early dinner at Cafe Spiaggia—we got a window table with a lovely view of Michigan Ave. & the lake. DsOTD were a rosé cava and a Rosso di Montalcino from Tuscany. Gordy nursed a “house-bottled” Old Fashioned.
Tonight, teetotaling it: seltzer with lime.

Jazzy,wasn't me looking for tickets for Lindsay Webster. Those are the exact reasons I want my DD to get this darned divorce. Good luck on your "drama management". 60 laps, good for you. And we are way more exciting than FB.
Cami, why is it Mondays are so busy? it's the same with me! Sorry to hear Marty is sick, and hopefully no one else will get it.
Peggy, you sound like a teenage girl going on her first date!
Illimae, welcome to the Hot Tatties Lounge. We will celebrate with you at the end of treatment.
Sandy, sounds like a nice dinner with your son. I've never had any luck trying to grow veggies in a pot. So, in the ground they go!
Well, the good doctor thinks my DH is just suffering from allergies. Nothing showing on the lung xray, so this is all good. Gave him a steroid shot and some codeine.

Good Morning Ladies,
Just checking in, only have a minute so I'll be back, my phone is still going like crazy--WTF. Just missing u all, cuz I always like my morning talk.

Remember this??? Sounds a little different but it's ok DOTD0 -
Good morning friends- hoping everyone is having a good start to Tuesday. Got a call with the CA client coming up, but heading to the yoga mat on the patio shortly to stretch it out. No swimming today, maybe a bike ride later if the winds stay down......
LLLimae- welcome to our thread. So sorry you are finding yourself in this place, but glad you are wanting to join us. We have some other sisters here going through treatment just like yourself. We talk about everything from cancer, to cocktails, and more. We sometimes talk about drinking more than we actually do, and our local wine aficionado is ChiSandy. We hope you like it here with us. I think planning to have a drink to celebrate when you are done with chemo is a good idea. I know you may have a ways to go yet on the herceptin infusions.......
Goldie- you guys are way more interesting than FB. How are things coming along with the sale of the biz? I know that takes time......
Chi- your garden sounds lovely. I only do flowers as I don't have the right space for veggies, but you sound like you have it all laid out nicely. Your day with Gordie sounded really lovely too, drinks sounded good. I am totally in to anything rose right now.
Cami- glad you liked the jazz clip. I got to meet Nathan East and his band last year during the ABQ Film and Music Festival where he was being honored. Such a nice guy, fab musician, etc. He has done two solo albums the past year and have the most amazing guests on it. I did not know this Stoddard fellow in the clip above, but love his voice and the song. The ABQ Film and Music festival is coming up here in less than a month where they are going to honor one of my fav actors, Jeff Bridges! Got tickets to go to an event with him too. We get some amazing stuff going on here for a small city in the middle of nowhere.......
Sorry to hear about Marty's cold. I saw a friend this weekend who said she had bad allergies and she texted me yesterday to say she found out she has a sinus infection and STREP. EEEK! So far so good this way. Second person here I have heard has had strep.
PontiacPeg- so nice to hear you met someone you really like. Sounds like it's mutual too. I hope you get to see each other again soon.
Wondering how NM did yesterday with her first day with the old company in a new role?

Morning ladies!
Camillegal, my last day of chemo is 5/29, after surgery I'll resume herceptin every 3 weeks for the remainder of the year at least. My brief bio is... I grew up in Southern California (and I love earthquakes), moved to Texas with my DH 17 years ago. I work for the state (will medically retire next year) and and beyond thankful for the benefits. We have no human children (DH likes them but i prefer peaceand quiet and we chose not to pass on our flawed genetics, lol) but did raise a pack of French and English bulldogs, we currently have one 13 year old baby left.
I expected cancer, my mother and her sister both got it in their 60's but I didn't see it coming so soon. I felt a lump, saw my doc 2 days later, did mammo, US and biopsy and diagnosed in less than 2 weeks. I reacted quickly and hoped I caught it early but when the body scans and bone biopsy confirmed a bone met in my hip, it became clear that this was spreading before I ever had a clue. My DH has been awesome through this, poor guy even has sympathy SE's, lol.

LLL- sorry to hear of all the cancer in your family. We did not have that much, but now suddenly find there are many women on my father's side of the family showing up with it. My sister and I both had it at the same time, hers was HER2+ which is why I know a lot about those herceptin treatments, mine more of the "garden variety" of ER/PR positive/luminal A bc. I have heard some of my providers call it the "garden variety" although I don't think of anything like cancer coming from a garden?
Where do you live in TX? I lived there for awhile too.

jazzy, I'm in Houston until next summer, then I retire early and move to West Texas (Big Bend area), better weather and beautiful views!

LLLimae- I went to grad school at UT-Arlington. I almost went to grad school in Sul Ross in Big Bend. It is a lovely area! Glad you are going to retire and go enjoy life. Something to look forward to after all this crap is over!

Thanks jazzy, early retirement is a huge silver lining to all this and I think the mountain life will do me wonders.
0 -
lllimae- I am glad you are able to retire. I am single and self employed and will be working for awhile longer, but do take bigger breaks between my gigs. Sometimes just a result of the right work coming along later, but in the end, I know it is best for me. You have a rainbow at the end of all this and a beautiful place you will be leaving. Reducing your stress (hard in this world) is key after all this and if you can.

Wasn't planning on drinking tonight, but my neighbor Marsha (who had a hemicolectomy, just like Bob) returned the shower bench I lent her, with a lagniappe of a bottle of French rosé methode traditionnelle (i.e., Champagne process, which under EU law can be called “methode champenoise" only if it comes from Champagne—no such restrictions on CA, Aussie or S. Africa sparklers). Bob also stuck a bottle of S. African “Gorgeous" still rosé in the fridge overnight to drink out on the deck when he gets home after office hours. Whichever one we open, we'll invite Marsha & her DH.
Meanwhile, knocked back lime seltzer & lemon water, plus an espresso, out on the deck—it hit 87 here today. Gonna grab my insulated wheeled shopping bag and stroll over to Whole Foods to replenish our supply of lemons, limes & oranges.

We do have a holiday coming up DOTD0 -
Good Morning, Loungettes!Apologies for not postingyesterday, lost track of time and was almost late for work. Got out of working a very long day when I said "no" to an admission. The look on CM1's face when I said I couldn't do the admission plus what I had after a half day meeting and still be done in 8 hours, and, as I am not working Wednesday, I wouldn't be finishing the admit within 24 hours cuz I would not be finishing it until my next working day, Thursday, and if I was doing that someone else would have to go to the nursing home that is 80 miles from the office on Thursday cuz I can't drive that far, do 6 visits AND finish an admission in 8 hours. There was dead silence for about 2 minutes. Thenone of the other (younger, much younger) nurses offered to do the admission. So, all's well and I am not even feeling guilty! At all! And then to sleep in this ayem, and enjoy the lovely warm and sunny ayem before the clouds come in is just heavenly. Got the trash taken to the roadside, so the major chore for today is done. Should be getting the dumpster next week sometime, and have an evening teaching gig so will only have to work 2 days next week. Hope to hear about the immunization clinic position next week, then I'll be able to set up a work 2 days for Hospice, 1 day (or, more accurately, 1/2 day) orienting in the clinic. Life is looking sooooo good right now! Poor Sadie is confused, I went and got dressed and she went to her crate, her routine when I am leaving for work. She sits in the crate until I either tell her to be good and I'll be back in the evening or ask her if she wants to go for a ride and get the halter down. When I told her I would be right back, just taking out the trash she just looked at me like I had 3 heads. She watched me from the yard, and was so happy when I came back in the house. It was like I had been gone for a month and I never left her sight! Silly thing. Oh, dear, I have gone on and on about myself this ayem. I just wish everyone felt as good as I do right now.
Goldie--I am loving this PT mind set! Lemon thyme, that is wonderful stuff.My favorite is Greek Oregano. I think one of next summer's projects will be establishing a permanent herb garden bed.Chives and some others will survive Maine winters, and I can keep doing the more delicate ones in pots on the deck in the summer.Would like to be in the place where I can harvest and dry what I need for the winter each year, and have to use fresh in the summer. Sorry the movie was only OK. Hope the DH's appointment goes well.
Jazzy--Thanks for the vote of confidence, and the warning about naysayers. I am fortunate that my family is wholeheartedly behind me in this. I never knew how much they worried about me being on the road so much and working so long. I've gotten a little bit of push back from management, but not as much as I expected. Clinical Manager 2 tried scare tactics the other day by saying I won't be able to get health care now that Obama care has been repealed. I've already researched that, and most of what is being said about pre-existing conditions is fear mongering. Good for you for setting up a drama break!I can waste a lot of time on Fb, sometimes need to set a timer and get off when the timer goes off in order to get anything else done.
Cammy--What a wonderful good bye picture to have of your Mom. That is beautiful. We are all different in our grieving.I get comfort from visiting my Dad's grave, my Mom doesn't. We have to keep reminding each other that either way is OK. I am sticking to my guns at work, and so far it's working!
Jazzy--good for you keeping your commitment to yourself!Too bad about the swim lessons, but like you say, always another way to skin the cat.
Pontiac--Hmm, Lost City sounds like an interesting movie. Good luck with Mr. Man!
Jazzy--great music!
Welcome, Illimae! Lots of women choose to cut back the alcohol intake during treatment, it certainly won't hurt to do that. I also think it doesn't hurt to have a drink now and again during treatment. How is treatment going for you? When will chemo end for you? We'll have to schedule a party to celebrate.
Cammy--oh, my, sounds like you are getting all kinds of calls! I'm sure the guys can get it sorted out eventually. And you can't be doing too badly or he wouldn't keep you on the phone. Praying you don't catch Marty's cold.I'm looking forward to the first good thunderstorm of the season here.
Chi--Too bad about losing the garden strip. Sounds like it was a great place for plants. I bet the tomato seedlings do look lost in the big pots right now, but it won't be long before the big pot becomes necessary! I'm going to put my tomatoes in the raised garden bed where I do square foot gardening.So far I have the tomatoes and green peppers, need to decide what else I want to do there. I love wind chimes, have several to hang up. Another project for this weekend.
Goldie--allergies are a pain in the keister, but manageable, better than asthma or a cold or bronchitis. Hope the meds help.
I've never had a Harvey Wallbanger, looks good! Thanks for covering for me!
Jazzy--the first day of work went well, thanks!Of course, I was out of cell phone range, so they had to give the emergency admission to another nurse. Not that I would have taken it anyway, but at least I didn't have to say so!
Lllimae--bulldogs are adorable!Can we see pics?My Silly Sadie is a yellow lab, well, normally she's yellow, right now she's mud colored from her toes to her shoulders. It's so no fair how bc can spread before ever announcing it's presence. Has anyone in your family had the BRCA mutation testing done? That really was a fast turnaround on checking that lump out. Glad your DH is supportive and understanding.
Chi--as the luxury of being able to stroll to the market! That is one part of rural living I'm not so crazy about, not feasible to walk to places when the nearest store is 8 miles away. But I wouldn't trade that for the privacy I have here.

Woops, Cammy, sorry for bumping you into the pool! Can I get you a drink to make up for it?

Good Morning Ladies,
I'm getting way to much phone calls now,, don't care for this LOL
Illmae thank u for sharing, Jazzy knows about those parts of the country, being from IL I know nothing, well a little around here. What a family history, but I'm so glad to hear u'r DH is so good to you. It means a lot. I retired from my State too. I worked there for more than 20 yrs. And u'r right it helps now than before. I worked in titles and registration--with the public--Oy vey not fun, but I made great friends which I still talk to and see now. Glad u finish chemo by the end of the month--I had 1 yr. of herceptin but now I hear much less is all u need. It's funny <not haha> but like Jazzy my sister and I had it at the same time along with one of her DD's, so I guess we're all over the place too.
Jazzy I barely heard about NM before u, and now all these things are happening there, more than I ever thought. And u keep up with most. Lots of fun.
Sandy good stuff last nite, sounds like a great evening. And yes the weather is way to warm to early for me.
U know my sister never stopped having her glass of wine every nite, and now when we're on the phone and she realizes it's time, we pretty much hang up then, gotta have it--she's a hoot.
Where's NM??? I want to hear what's going on OK hello to everyone.
LUBS TO ALL

Bumped you this ayem, Cammy! Nothing like sleeping in on a Wednesday!

NM I don't care if u pushed me into the pool, felt good. Oh so relieved u stood u'r ground, this has to be great for you. I didn't know u took a teaching job. I know that will be successful for you. Just happy u'r doing well with all of the screwyness that's going on with u'r job.
Oh and Illmae--there are a bunch of furbaby lovers here so u'r in good company too. We have a lab/border collie--sweet dog and I just lost my Katie-Kat--well longer than I think but still miss her.
OH phones going yuk
0 -
Jazzy, nothing on the business sale. I will let you guys know when and if anything comes up.
Illimae, one of our other sisters here also "expected" to get cancer with it running in the family. And perhaps a few others as well, as it was so predominant in their families.
Sandy, that's so nice that you have WF to just walk to.
NM, high 5 girl for saying NO and not feeling guilty! And I'm sure Sadie is beyond happy, so cute! The meds seem to be helping DH some, but not completely. I'm just glad it wasn't anything serious, and I know he was a bit skeered too.
Cami, my phones are still cray cray too. I'll join you and NM in the pewl.

Good morning ladies- lots of great updates here today. We had some rain here yesterday, a bit unexpected but always welcomed! Today is sunny and cooler and I was pulling out the fleece again. May has been like this the past few years, with some lingering cold snaps. Not sure if the mountains got any snow but bet somewhere they did. I read the river (Rio Grande) is super high right now and overflowing into the flood plain and that has not happened in awhile. Spring melt waters underway and the white water kayakers and rafters are getting busy!
I had another call with my partners and the future client in CA yesterday, but started seeing what I knew would happen if we did not have something approved to begin contracting around now. Summer starts, the people who need to decide on things are on vacation, etc. The other challenge is, once you get further in to the year, there is less money around for discretionary spending and they may choose to fund it next year instead. So with that, I am more seriously working on my other opps and will just keep a pulse on this in case there is work there down the road. My experience with these things is the longer it goes, the less likely things are to happen. Onward and upward.
NM- glad you are getting in to the groove with your new routine and isn't it awesome to be able to say no to the "other duties as assigned?" This is where they need to get it that you are not their employee anymore. Eight hours, can't get the extras done. And as you find other things to fill your schedule, if these people continue to be unreasonable about per diem, then you can just move on.
And the comment about ACA is not true, there is a bill that got pushed through the House but will likely be in the Senate for awhile. Yes, it may get repealed and replaced, and the new plan may not be usable for many, but right now, we don't know that. I watch this closely as I have an ACA plan myself. You are always able to make a different decision later on if anything changes again, nurses are in demand EVERYWHERE. You are making the best decisions for you right now. That comment is an example of a naysayer, trying to make you feel you will fail and not have what you need. They are just sore losers who don't know how to treat their staff. And good to hear your family is supportive to the changes too. As we have discussed, the people around you often see what is happening to you when you cannot?
Cami- we do have holiday coming up! I made plans to go up to my fav hot springs for the long weekend. I am staying at this nearby funky place that is cheaper than staying at the resort, but do have a gift cert from a friend for the springs and have an apt for a hot stone massage and hot oil hair treatment. This place I am staying has jazz on fri and sat nights in their outdoor restaurant. Lined up for a great get away!
Hsant- I think today is the day you head home and hope your travels are easy and you are settled in to your life again soon. Give it time sister.
Got some things to get to and a trip to the pool for laps to do. Will check in later gators. Goldie, Mema, Genny, Celia, LLL, Dara, Chi, and everyone else, hope your Wednesday is good.

Another hot one today, but there's a storm brewing for late tonight— sinuses acting up a bit, ring a bit tighter (though still easily removable) on my R hand. Defrosted a pair of sockeye fillets I bought last night (put the hanger steak into the freezer), and will either cedar-plank them on the grill (weather permitting) or pan-sear them indoors. Will have the rest of the snap peas—maybe stir-fry them with ramps and a couple of asparagus sliced up. Didn't drink last night—when Bob got home he wanted to go to the old-guy dive-bar around the corner (where half the neighborhood and all the restaurant line cooks go after hours) for beer, reasoning that the first hot night (it was still in the 80s) of the year calls for beer, and lots of it. So I hit the seltzer again. No fruit, though. Today I made an unsweetened vanilla almond-milk iced latte (I steam-froth the almond milk for texture, just as if I were making a hot drink—pouring it over ice keeps it thick, a trick I learned from a barista at a Borders in FL), and am having a plain seltzer now. The sockeye salmon calls for a red—I have some of that Maryhill Grenache “on tap"—but the weather calls for an ice-cold glass of that South African “Gorgeous" rosé (Pinot Noir/Chardonnay). Hmmmm…..
Might walk to the gym for cardio before dinner. Just washed my hair so I'd rather not go swimming. If I wear my sneakers and a belt pouch en route, I won't even need to carry my purse or need a locker. (My t-shirt is sheer and my sports bra shows through, but it's the kind most women at the gym wear as a top).

Good evening ladies. I did another 60 laps today in 55 min and am going for 70 on Friday. That is my personal best I was doing when I was swimming in this location last in 2011. That is a mile in a 25 yard pool, and feel ready to reach this milestone.
This is a personal goal for me on my own path to recovery after going through many surgeries and all the rest in 2012-2013. I won't say I can do everything I used to (don't want to either), but I am strong in the pool and can do this. It will help me to see I have gotten more of my endurance and strength back through the past four years since I finished treatment. As you all know, it's a long way out from all this........

I know you love my jazz videos. This is one of the group Earth Wind and Fire featuring Phillip Bailey (who some of you probably know is also a jazz vocalist). Enjoy!
0 -
Jazzy, would you believe that Earth, Wind & Fire were the commencement speakers at Gordy’s graduation from Columbia College’s Performing Arts Division in 2008? It was the coolest commencement I ever attended (and I include my Brooklyn College commencement at which U.S. A.G. Ramsey Clark spoke, and my University of Puget Sound Law School commencement at which his dad, SCOTUS Justice Tom Clark, spoke). Phillip Bailey delivered the address and then EW&F performed a medley of hits with the band from the school’s jazz conservatory.

Good Morning, Loungettes! It was a lovely day here yesterday, spent the peeyem on the deck in the hammock seat just chillin, and got my knees sunburned, and a good bit of pink on my face and arms. Sadie had a grand time in the mud puddle, turned herself from a yellow lab to a chocolate lab, and had to get into the shower with me last night. Can anyone tell me why a dog that loves water in puddles, ponds, lakes, streams is so reluctant to get into a tub?She was good about it once I bribed her into the tub, though. I'm guessing we'll have to repeat the performance tonight when I get home. Almost broke some high temp records here yesterday, and a poor air quality warning is out for today. We seem to have gone from the gray gloomies directly into high summer!
Goldie--high five 5 back! Glad the meds are helping DH.
Jazzy--I'm glad you've got an alternative to the CA project, and even more glad that you have the experience to know when things are going to bog down. Yes, it is awesome to be able to say "no" and it was almost funny watching the expressions as they realized that they had to accept that answer. I know that comment about the ACA isn't true, but that CM has really jumped on the bandwagon on that topic. I just stated the facts and then shrugged her off. That sounds like a great getaway you have lined up, hope you enjoy it!
Chi--Yum!
Jazzy--Good for you!I am sure you will get the 70 laps.And another great video, thanks for sharing!

Good Morning Ladies, Humph I just lost some post???
Kim wear sunscreen u silly--and Sadie is such a hoot--u have to love all the extr time u can spend with her now. I know I would. This has to be still strange for you after all this time. But just enjoy.
Lori I'm sure u'r busy especially now, I know my eyes get super tired, probably from the puter. I'm waiting for more pics from u'r garden, it always looks perfect. Lori u said the meds are working for u'r DH, but sounded like they aren't exactly doing all u thought or did I read that wrong.???
Sandy everything u described sounds yummy, u have to be a hellofa cook or maybe chef with all u make and the wine u choose. U'r DH sounds like so much fun to be around. Are u feeling good now, I hope so.
Jazzy so much good stuff with music, thank u for sharing, I enjoy it so much. OK now u have some decision to make but u always sound so reasonable with how u think, but u'r used to it I guess. U do know I still think of u as "Chandler" when it comes to u'r work, but enjoy so mch u'r processing what u are going to do.
Illmae how are u reacting to this chemo, u'r almost done--sounds good to me
OK one of my stupid stories---I had a call last nite and when it became time to ask my questions I of course said u'r first name and he just said Danny and paused then he said Why you and I proceeded to tell him how our reviews are onYelp and I think he'll be very happy with our work. Then he said no I was spelling my last name Yu--OK I was tired, my last call at 9PM, but as u know most of my calls are very similar for some reason either I don't hear properly or it's them. Now my niece called last nite I had no problem hearing her about anything, so I don't get it. She's working at a drs. office now and loves it. (she's a nurse) Oh and another one of my nieces is also a nurse but she's a traveling nurse (which I never heard of) and she's having a ball going all over the place and enjoying her single life and puts great pics on FB of her travels. The one I talked to is in her 50's so she stays home, but these young people really know what to do with their lives and it's wonderful for them. <I know I went to 2 different stories all at one time>
Then in a few weeks there is a wedding in our family--a first for me--my one cousin who I dearly love is marrying another woman, which again I have no problem with and she's very nice--but instead of gifts they requested a no fund me thingy for some kind of charity thing. WTF is that??? They have a fantastic way of life, they are both successful in their fields so I guess they think this is a good idea--but it's all new to me, everything is. I have 2 new dresses that are maxi, I can't wear anything that shows my elephant legs and I can't stand the feel of pants on my skin. LOL But I can deal with dresses <long> but then it's the shoe thing, can hardly wear anything nice--of course I'll be a mess no matter what, but Leslie can do my hair at least.. I enjoy this so cuz all the family will be together. But some of the more religious ones aren't going, no judgement here but I just think they are missing out with family.
OK Have I bored u enough, cuz I can still go on. OK I won't.
SusyQ is out of town and DARA who the hell knows and Hsant I wish the best to for resuming her life with her DH and knowing all she did was a wonder. And Peggy is thinking about men--ooo-ooo I love it. Celia where are u and if I missed anyone I certainly didn't mean to. Have a great day everyone. Try to be back latah.
LUBS U ALL

Sandy, now you are walking to the gym. How nice to have so much within walking distance! It' an hour, one way, driving, for us to go for groceries. How cool that Earth, Wind & Fire were the commencement speakers at your DS's graduation.
Jazzy, you will get to 70 laps, I just know it. You have to pat yourself on the back. And your weekend getaway sounds awesome. Are you going with anyone?
NM, you are so right about dogs and water and then the tub. Sorry you got burnt, hope it isn't too bad. We've had a cold spell and winds.
Cami, the meds are helping DH some, but he is still coughing. Interesting about the gifting that your cousin wants, but hey, why not? I hope you can make it, and you shouldn't worry about what you can or can not wear. The garden isn't worthy of pictures yet, and a lot of it isn't even planted yet, we've been gone and just so darned busy, no time.
