    Hey, there's my little feller....good job!  The little bum must have found some drinks left unattended last night. This morning, I am having coffee and not feeling too bad.  Just lazy!

    Hi ladies - sorry I missed talking to everyone at the party (Happy Birthday Kitty!), but I was hunkered down in a chair by pool enjoying watching the festivities, sipping some red wine - trying to lay low. Thanks for the invite - this is definitely the nicest lounge I've ever been to!

    Well, Grekenmom, I think it probably was wise to hunker down last night.  It got a bit crazy.  I am still wondering if everyone is ok today.  One would think that I would chill out tonight and stay off the booze.  I find I can't.  This is my last free weekend for a bit.  I will be hunkering down tonight though just watching and waiting.  If I get some company I truely will be pleased.  Left my monkey home tonight.  He is socially unaceptable!  LOL!  Gawd Dee....thank god you didn't drown last night.  What is going to happen tonight?  HunkyD

    Erika hunkered for a bit, but jumped up and helped put cushions under all the passed out heads.  She found a stash of beach towels that had been sitting in the sun all day and covered everyone up so they'd stay nice and warm.    She even got in the pool and managed to put a life jacket on Dee so she could float all night......then, we sat and sipped red wine 'til the sun came up.   Jocks and Pants have massive quantities of coffee and a yummy breakfast buffet..........

    ...think I saw Kitty sneaking off with one of the firemen....and Hunky--think your monkey is swinging through our palm trees.......yep--pretty sure.......

    love, junie

    Yawn..I slept 10 hours...wth?  The party wore me out I guess.

    See y'all soon!

    Good morning everyone.  Woke up to snow.  Still snowing.  Decided to stay in bed and drink coffee.  The mimosa fountain sounds great and I could use some breakfast too.  I also slept a lot.  DH just went to fetch me a Latte.  Today will be my last drinking day for a while so I guess I better get ready for it.  XXOO  HD

    HD....snow ALREADY???? Wow....sure seems early...pretty to look at, but not fun to have for months and months. Hope you enjoyed it this morning though.....and your latte! In OZ, my DH got hooked on all the Gloria Jeans coffee shops...they were everywhere. None near us here though. Anyway, a yummy drink that we were hooked on was the VOLTAGE iced coffee (3-4 shots of espresso)...of course w/ whipped cream and coffee granules....sooooo good. Was over $6. But worth it!

    Cannot believe the 6th will be here in 2 days...Lori's wedding and HunkyD's surgery! Our TGIFridays has their Oktoberfest on the 6th...half price apps and beer and drink specials..might go to that and toast both Lori and HD! You know, HunkyD we will just have to all drink double for you, since you won't be able to drink for awhile...torture, but hey, what are friends for...lol. I hope you can get online asap and let us know how you are doing! If you want to have your DH send one of us and email, then we can post it here, in case you aren't able to get online right away. You know we will all be very concerned, and sending prayers and good thoughts your way!

    Happy Sunday everyone! Like HD and Dee mentioned, that mimosa fountain is going, and sure looks delish. I'm trying to get up a trip to Vegas in Dec...DH so loves it there...and right now there are some good specials...anyone else planning to go in Dec???

    Cheers to weddings,successful surgeries,and to good friends,

    Kathy

    Wow, Kathy, I forgot how fast the time flies.  I have been over to a friends house drinking this afternoon.  She was putting up halloween decorations.  Then she stopped and we just started having some drinks.  She has been my good friend through all this.  Not a fun job sometimes, but today was just a "watch the snow fall and giggle" kind of day. I originally started out to gas my vehicle....husband went with me, and then we ended up over at her place and drinking.  Also, when you go to TGIF on Tuesday...you definately have a drink for me.  And, when you do, include me in a toast to Lori.  May her day be as beautiful as her personality.  If I can get to Vegas in December, and I would love to make it happen, I would love to meet.  Unfortunately I have used a lot of leave this year at work with surgeries.  I am getting to the point though that I don't care.  A real goal in life my life now would be to meet another BC sister.  When are you planning on going?  Early in the month?  Guess I will head inside to a warm part of the bar.  I know Junie will be lurking somewhere. All of ya, I am not listing names...come on out for a Sunday evening swill!  HunkyD

    Happy Belated Birthday to Kitty! (SO sorry I missed the festivities!!!)

    SNOW???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Gawd I HATE snow!!!

    Going to drown my sorrows about Chicago not getting the 2016 Olympics. BUT I really understand how all would want Rio to 'win' as it's SUCH a partay place to be!

    I'm not sure when the remodel will be done but certainly not soon enough for me! The three of us (me, Avery and Stella) are all sleeping in the office (my mother uses the spare bedroom when here so I didn't want to invade her space!) and it's cramped. I lose my computer time at 7 p.m. when Avery goes to sleep so I'll have to try to catch up on things here on my next two trips when I'll have computer access in my hotel room.

    Until then, Cheers!

    SNOW--oh, that is the most obscene word in the English language.    It rained all day, again.   The acrons have been dropping out of our trees for several weeks now.   They drop on the skylights, then roll down the roof--they are the largest acorns I've seen since we've lived here.   The yard is covered and have to be so careful when you walk because they roll underfoot.   Last time we had this many acorns fall (and they were a lot smaller) we had 45 inches of snow between Chirstmas and New Year's.    Bet I spend a lot of time in our lounge this winter.

    Hope Lori is having a grand time.   Jaybird, travel safe.  Lord, Wahine--do you EVER stay home for more than two weeks at a time?  You lucky. lucky girl. 

    Looks to be a busy week for everyone (DH having eye surgery on Wed, so I get to play driver and nurse for a bit--I am a horrible driver and a worse nurse...).......grabbing me a ML and going to find Hunky.

    Hi all - I usually try to stop by in the mornings, just in time for the mimosas and breakfast buffet- and hey, do Pants and Jocks take care of cleaning up this place? It looks great!  I'm sorry I don't yet know all of the members' names, but certainly wish everyone the very best in your respective endeavors - a beautiful wedding, a safe and speedy surgery, fabulous travels, solid nursing skills, and efficient remodels!  Here's to each of you!  I'll try to stop back & see if anyone's here later in the day.

    I think (*hic*) two's enough for now...

    'Morning ladies,

    Erika, nice that you post in the am, as thats when Lori usually posted....and we miss her a lot while she is in HI getting married. You will learn our names soon enough, and all our quirks and silliness! This is a very fun place to be. Hope you have gone back to see the lounge pics, etc. At least HD posted the firemen again (w/ kitty!) so you could see what they look like. Two of us had "fire incidents" this summer, and HD came up with that fantastic pic! She and Dee are very talented w/ photoshop, etc. Oh, and yeah, the tattie tenders (Pants and Jock) do all the cooking, cleanup, and take care of our EVERY need...just ask and they will be there to pamper you. And everything if free....drinks, food, the casino, shows, etc.!!! Enjoy!

    So much to think of this week, with Lori's wedding on the 6th, HD's surgery on the 6th, and junies DH's surgery on the 7th. We just need to drink a lot this week to make up for it! If anyone else thinks they might want to go to Vegas soon, pm me and I will tell you a neat deal we found (HD, I sent you a pm). AND if anyone wants to meet up, we will be there in December!

    Wish I had Pants here to clean my house...guess I better go now and tackle some of it....won't get done otherwise. OR....I could just hang out here and ignore the housework....hmmmmm....very temping! OK...made my decision.....Jock please bring me a Bloody Mary!!!! I'll be out by the pool......

    Cheers,

    Kathy

    Good evenin' ladies,

    Busy day at work then doctor visit afterward. Nothing to tell, just more testing to find out what's going on..UGH!  I will be getting some blood work and ultra sound, so I'll see what happens. Hunky I know your surgery is tomorrow. I can imagine you are probably a tad nervous, but also ready to get those things outta there. I will be with you in spirit all the way! Lori has to be nervous as well, tomorrow she gets hitched. I will be thinking about you both all day tomorrow. Good luck you'll both do great! 

    A11 - Moon shot 

    Get well soon HunkyD,   Keep your bum covered!  LOL

    purple bells

    Congratulations Lori!      

    Luv ya'll !

    Oh, my gawd Dee, I am Laughing my Ass Off.  That is so F'ing funny, and so CUTE!   I don't know where you got that but I appreciate it soooo much.  That little monkeys chart looks kind of disturbing, and his little bum is hanging out!  You are so right about me being nervous.  I just got back from my PS marking me up for surgery tomorrow.  I look like a Rand McNally roadmap.  I am ready for exchange.  I hope you get to feeling better.  Ultra sound will be hopefully give them a clue whats going on.  Erika, nice to have you stopping by.  I will be here for mornings, noons, and nights in the next month.  Glad to have a new smiling friend here.  Lori....can ya hear me?  I am with ya girl. I am wishing you the most beautiful day possible tomorrow.  Kathy, Kitty, Junie, CAZ, Jaybird, and Casino....hope you can come and have one drink.  We will toast Lori!  Love ya all......HunkyD.  P.S.  I can't take my monkey tomorrow.  Damn!

    Dee, What neat pics!!! So appropriate and cute. I do hope they can figure out what is wrong and start taking care of it and getting you well! Keep us posted.

    HunkyD, I remember being marked up like that. It was a hot day, and I told the dr I didn't think it would last all day as it was a hot day, and I knew I would be sweaty and full of hot flashes. Sure enough, by evening when surgery was scheduled, it had all run together...all those neat lines all over me were just smudges....lol. Luckily he was skilled enough to figure it out and it all turned out good. Had me worried for awhile though! What time is your surgery? Wish you could take your monkey with you, but you will have all of us there with you in spirit....with all our uplifting thoughts and prayers. Having a toast to you right now....."This is for you,HunkyD...for a smooth surgery and fast recovery!" I hope you can get a good nights sleep tonight. Will have another toast for you tomorrow night, and will miss you till you get back here at the lounge with us!!!

    Lori, Thinking of you and your wedding tomorrow, and wishing you and Darrell the very, very best!!! Hope the weather holds out too, and someone takes tons of pictures.... Will have a toast to you tomorrow night too!

    ChEARS to covered rears,

    Surgery with no tears,

    Marriage with no fears,

    And lots of icy cold beers!

    OMG - you gals are hilarious!!! I love the pics! Scarlett on the fireman's shoulder! That's so her. She's a total flirt and sits on my hubby's shoulder all the time!



    Thanks SO MUCH for the birthday wishes! Sorry I was MIA this past weekend. It's a sign of how much fun I had.



    My 40 and Fabulous wine party was a blast!!! We had a bunch of people come. All of the red wine was gone (except the bottle of 2 Buck Chuck that someone brought). LOL! We had a little white wine left, but we were sipping on that at 2 am! My hubby broke out the liquor and next thing you know the party went to a new level. Jack Daniels, Jaeger, Don Julio, Pucker, Captain Morgans - GONE! Lord knows what else was drank! Oh, I had a variety of beer, but that wasn't gone! We stayed up until 3:30 am. My husband woke up to one of my girlfriends passed out on our bedroom floor (my family was sleeping in our extra bedrooms).



    My sister, niece and mom came out for the weekend. We had an amazing dinner on Friday night and had a blast all weekend! It was the first time I'd seen my sister since I was dx with BC. She was wearing her wig, but we convinced her to take it off by the end of the weekend. Her hair is about 2 inches long and she looks fantastic!!! My mom got us both matching diamond pendants to celebrate surviving BC!



    I'm glad you all had a fun fun weekend!! I'll be ready to start drinking again by tomorrow. My dh is going out of town for a business trip! I'm going to have to re-stock the wine!!! :)



    Thanks again! Love you gals!!!

    Hi gals, Also wondering about Lori and Hunky....hope the wedding went fabulously well, and hope HD's surgery went really well also. Hope you are having an uncomplicated recovery, HunkyD! We're thinking of you!!! Pau Hana time now, so will definately toast to you both. Pants just fixed me an icy cold Seagrams/Diet Coke in a HUGE glass....guess thats so I have enough to toast with...lol. Might still go to TGIF...not sure yet...guess it depends if others show up at HTL or not. Where is everyone? Dee, off work yet and coming to the lounge? ITs pau hana time!!! And poor HD's monkey looks soooooo lonely with her in the hospital....we'll probably have to sneak him in the hospital to see her. Cheers!

    Bottoms Up and Over,

    Kathy

    Dee, Looks like you and I have Pants and Jocks all to ourselves! Sure is nice by the pool; this sunny weather beats out the rain we have at home any day. Can you believe all the antics HD's monkey is getting into??? Fun to watch him, but that pool looks too tempting....I'm jumping in! Ohhhh...Pants followed me in, but looks like Jocks is still giving you that fabulous massage....

    hey, all--popping in for a quick toast to Lori (hope she had a rainbow day) and sending good wishes to Hunky.   Have to be up at 5 am to get hubby to his surgery appt.   It wasn't supposed to be until a decent time later in the day, but dr says he operates on his diabetic patients first to cause less disruption to their medication cycle/fasting.   That is great and much appreciated.   But a long drive there and back again.   Need to get a little cooler ready.  sigh...won't be packing any beer since I'm the designated driver.   We joke that it is a 2-beer ride over and back to that area.   Will be interesting.

    dang--that Wahine twisted my arm, so grabbing just a couple MLs (not a bucketful) and joining her and Dee out at the pool for a bit.....

    huggssss to all..........junie

    :::::waving:::::   I'm here!

    Congrats to Lori and safe surgeries to those going under the knife.

    Just got up from a 5-hour nap! (I'm in Spain, and that's what they do here, right?) I'm off to the grocery store to find something for dinner and will most likely bring back some beer. The other ladies want me to go out with them but since I've already gone over budget on the remodel I can't spend money on dinner out. Won't give up the alcohol, though - that's always in the budget!

    Cheers!

    YAY HunkyD...thanks so much for letting us know you are ok!!! What a long surgery...you know, I don't even know how long my surgery was, but I don't think it was as long as that....I ended up with 5 drains and 2 drains stayed in for WEEKS and that was the most miserable part. I hope your 2 drains do not have to stay in too long and your pain meds will start to work REALLY well. Mahalo for posting here....still sending prayers for a good recovery! Almost happy hour time, so I will have to remember to drink some for you too.  ;)

    Nice long nap, jaybird! Hope you found some good beer. Are you in Barcelona? I try my hardest not to go there cause we have always had trouble in that part of Spain. But sometimes we end up on cruises that start or end there. I like the southern part though. Be careful and come home safely!

    Lori....enjoy your honeymoon (like I really had to tell you that, huh....lol)~! Junie, Hope your DH made it through the surgery just fine, and you did ok with all that beer-less driving you had to do. I bet you need to have "dibs" on Jocks for an all-night massage...you must be worn out. Dee, is that you behind the palm tree? No, no, no....you can't keep Pants all to yourself.... J/K. Nice, nice day at the pool.....hope everyone joins us here soon!

    A Hui Hou,

    Kathy
