Stanzie-I'm so glad your PS can do something for your "pillows"! I would expect insurance would cover the surgery as part of the reconstruction process, it is a revision after all. So your namesake is a lady gunslinger! That is too cool!
Wahine-thanks for the dwinky, I needed it badly. I've finally figured out why I'm so edgy, depressed, angry, jumpy, etc. I was diagnosed March 9, 2007. Not anything I really want to commemorate. It's been 4 f'in years, when do I get to live without this $hit??????? Sigh, sorry for the rant.Kymm-one big step forward! I can't imagine how intense a chemo class must be. At least you are getting info before treatment. Get a good rest and look over the paperwork over the next few days. Takes notes as you read. You will have more questions.
Dorthy-GREAT IDEA! Here's to the HTL staff!
Claire-I'm still thinking of everything you do, and it's really too cold to go out snowshoeing. The wind chill is in the -20 range. And yet they are predicting rain over the next couple of days. Go figure.
Karen-the Fukitol dispenser is always stocked, just like the percotini fountain is always running.
AStorm-What a story of full circles! Learning to drive in the parking lot of your kindergarten-what a trip!
Goldie-I have allergies, too, maybe we should have the tenders add on an allergen free area? With air purifiers and such. Could be a good retreat for us.
For a DOTD, how about a Learner's Permit?
2 oz Creme de Cassis
dash of Grenadine
Ice
dash of Lemon Juice
Lemon Wedge
fill with Orange Juice
2 oz Vodka0 -
NM - I'm missing the gun slinger part?
Kathy - he just said I would be able to do most things the day after but no lifting weights for 10-14 days. Apparently PS do NOT want to touch other Dr's botched nose jobs! He likened it to trying to separate two thin pieces of paper stuck together with glue. He said ususally best to go back to the first doctor as they should fix it for free however not good it you don't trust that man and he said he would not submit to insurance and I would be responsible to payl ( yes he is so lovely) And Yes I have talked to a medical malpractice lawyer because one of the big disputes on my first payment was he wanted extra money to cover the diviated septum and according to my breast PS - it wasn't ever done!
Ok, gotta go get food for munchkins!

Funny and appropriate DOTD, NM! Hope you won't get too down, because of your Mar 07bc dx anniv. The way I look at it, is is a joyful date, as it was FOUND and taken care of and you are here with us!!!! Wouldn't be the HTL without you, and I am so thankful you are here!!!! Maybe someday it won't be a depressing day for you. So far I have been happy when my date comes around, but as we all know, that could change in an instant and it may start depressing me also. Love your funnies....you are such a joy! Hope your day will go well. (((Hugs))) for you, NM!
Kathy

DD is now afraid of driving. I think that is the point of the first lesson, no? All I had her do was ride the brakes and make a few turns in the parking lot. She said it is way harder than she thought. I dropped off DD1 at school this morning so I could keep her car and we saw DD2's BFF driving her mom's HUGE mommy-van. She's doing great -- hope mine will be so confident in a few weeks. She is one of the youngest among her friends so most of them have been driving for awhile now, which I would think would be encouraging.
Hooked up the Wii this morning and found that I can no longer play tennis. I kept playing thinking I would eventually win a game but this creepy bearded guy beat me every time! Oh, and my fitness age is 80. At least there is room for improvement! I made mii's for the family. The girls talked me into getting the Wii Fit with the balance board, etc so we can do aerobics and yoga... still cheaper than a gym membership.
Kymn - I made you a Queen of Chemo tiara so you'll remember we are all with you on treatment day.
GREAT NEWS!!! My bones are dense! Great to have a normal test after failing so many. But then I got a call from my BFF this AM. She had bc too and is just starting meds after finishing rads. She had her first bone density scan and was dx with osteoporosis so her onco wants her to take something to protect her bones. She is stressed about the SEs of all the options and canceled her Reclast injection today... geez do the decisions never end?

Oh, that may be good that she cancelled the Reclast infection, Tell her to read more about that and ask more questions. My cousin had the injection and said she was very sorry she hadn't done more research as she felt really horrible for almost 4 months!!!! I mean not able to do anything horrible. She said she will never get that again. I know everyone responds differently but tell her to read all the information as my cousin said if she had paid more attention she would have realized she wouldn't have reacted well to it.
I love the Tiara for Kymn ! Perfect!
Dorothy my daughter would LOVE to drive but alas she is only 12 ! She adores anything electronic and I mean anything. However we had this little electrical VW bug car when the kids were little. It was so cute - it was yellow. My son drove so nicely. Well I looked out the window one day and say my daughter gunning it and dragging my son ! Ummm when it is time for her to drive I'm going to have to hire the military or something she will be scary!!! So whew not yet!

Ok, not sure if you have to be on face book to see this or not but just saw the most hilarious page - I tried and tried to copy and past the link but didn't work. It is called reason's not to get I-phone and it is a bunch or really wrong messages changed because of auto-correct! It is tears running down your face funny! Let me know if you all can't get it - really funny!
I know on another thread someone was trying to write vagifem and auto correct change it to Vatican!!!

Kymm..... I always prepared for my doctors appointments as I would for a business meeting. So a list of questions and a notebook. I know I am a sick puppy, but I viewed these as "agenda topics". Then of course whatever else I was there to learn from my team.
Then, I would go research the answers and come to the next appointment with more questions!!! The running joke was that my oncologist was the one whose head hurt.
The tip I will share with you is that I needed a lot more protein to function during chemo. I never went anywhere w/o water and energy bars. You are lucky in that you can use the ones with soy protein. Not a good idea for those of us who are ER+.
Get a water bottle with a good screw cap so you don't drown your cell phone.
I never did a "prepare for chemo" class. It might have had the effect of scaring me to death. I don't know. I do know that chemo wasn't as bad as I had dreaded.
Going back to questions. It really helps to write things down, and not just because you can't remember them. It really makes you think through what you need to know, and that helps with understanding your entire course of treatment. It also helps your medical team with knowing how much information you can absorb as no one should be given it all at once. You just can't; it's too much to take in.
Glad you are hard at work. I am waiting to work on something, so took a moment to pop in. In a year, you will be looking back, happy and healthy, and helping the next group of women get through it all. - Claire

Grumble, grumble...lost my post...will have to ketchup later...love and hugs to all you Dollinks!

Claire thanks I am glad I am not the only one who just smile and nods I phoned after my consult with the onc the other day because he didnt tell me what stage I was in. I knew everything else just missed that. I assumed I was 1 or 2 but wanted to make sure. The nurse wouldnt give me the info I just been in about an hour before. She said she had to talk to the doctor first and I said why its my information its my disease just tell me what the path report said. She said no again and I said ok I wil hold till you get a hold of the doctor and he gives you the ok to tell me that I am a stage 1. lol. She talked to the head nurse and I got my info right away. Then next day I was in for chemo class lol and she says oh hi Kymn Im the one who spoke to you on the phone yesterday oh well I am not going to pushed around. I want to know everything. I requested to have a copy of all my tests they made me fill out a form and said it was going to take 3 weeks , fine whatever but I want a copy of everything. I dont know why it takes 3 friggin weeks to photo copy a few forms I mean WTH very frustrating what are they trying to hide from me you know. But I have about half a page of questions now and my next appt is the 16th right before I am to start chemo but if they dont have the results from my MRI back yet then I wont start. There is no point if I end up having it in the other breast and having to have more surgery and make some more big decisions. Ok enough of that lets drink

I am reading backwards up! LMAO at Kymns cartoon. You made a good move by requesting your medical records. I am sure NM can fill you in on the regulations for that. I believe? that unless you are mental......which we all are here...they have to provide you with them. I will post again later. Dorthy, I am so sorry you are struggling with the implant. Beans, you are a PissAunt-not a Pissant! BBL! HD

Hi Kymm.....
All of my test results are online, and so are the medical reports. So I log in if I want to see anything. The physicians see a more detailed version. I just love that system. It also meant that when I went to visit my internist back in September, he could review all my treatment.
I did keep copies of the major After Visit Reports. These have proven helpful. At the other end, it's all maintenance, so getting my check-ups, blood work and such. I have a different oncologist too, as my first one moved on. (Maybe I did ask him too many questions, after all.)
My last visit was funny. I was there with pictures from skiing. I described the amount I do and showed the trail map. Then, I watched everyone turn pale.
Anyway, nearly time for wine and dinner. There is a conspiracy against me. I was thinking I should be eating more fish, but bacon blue cheeseburgers were on sale. Having sausages tonight though to go with the leftover Hungarian sauerkraut.
And I bought the most gorgeous red and black parrot tulips that have just a touch of yellow on the edges. - Claire

Hells Bells Beans...you have pictures of yours with labels...you explain...da brain, da meds, da system! LOL! Hugs to all! I am pool side. Hey Chrissy, if I didn't tell ya, I am so happy to hear about your scans. Also, you two gals going under the knife for revisions...good luck, and Stanzie, I am sorry to hear of more cancer in the family. Makes my heart ache. Kathy, I know your surgery is right away. I will be on the bus. Lori, I watch a ton of reality TV. Me Bad but Me Like! I love a lot of shows on the food channel also. AStorm is dancin' with dogs, and I am sittin home on a chilly Friday night. Hey, I did do my physical therapy though. I deserve a treat! I still haven't bumped into everyone here at the bar but I am sure I will eventually. I just hope I don't spill your drink! HD

HD, your poor mouth, was it always like this? And your eyeballs are kinda weird too, is that a glass eye? Your nose too . Awww,u poor thang. There are people out there called plastic surgeons. They can help. How bout a fundraiser for HD's face, girls? Yes? Alot of fixing to do. Sorry, you know I love you honkie. You do have gorgeous hair! Nice to see you HD, I missed you as you were carrying on with your hotty PT.
Kathy, I hope you are having a blast and dwinking alot. I missed seeing you for happy hour. I laughed at your BM comment, yeah, they are bloody mary's not BM's. Get here when ya can!
Stanzie, hire the military, how can one do that? Your story about your DD and the vw was funny. I like your humor. I am going to try to google that like you were talking about, sounds funny.
Kymn, omg, you must be blond. Fuckitol (read the label). Take as directed and it is great to chase down with rye, cheers!
Yes, Kymn, that fukitol machine is not filled with pretty blue and grey gumballs! I wish you all the best and hope that things go as planned, get this done. And take lots o fukitols and -uck it all!
AStorm, I recall the days practicing driving with my DD. It is stressful for baby and Mom too. My DD and I had quite a few moments of high stress. It gets easier. I remember the first time I let my daughter drive, she jumped a cub and plowed onto a median of grass. We were in a corporate center parking lot and left some nasty tread marks on the luscious lawn. wish you both all the best. And cheers to you with the great bone scan! You go sister, keep up the great work.
Beans, baby I am here and ready to partay! I think I just passed you and you were talking to yourself, mumbling something about pissants. I hope all is well.
Claire, I hope you are able to get your ski on tomorrow. Does sking go into the spring/summer or does the snow melt once Spring arrives? Hmmm, food for though. Speakng of, what's for dinner, I am a little hungry. Pants, bring me some choco pissants to bring to Claire's for dinner (please).
Dee, happy freakin' fried-dey to you too. I hope your weekend is grand.
Karen, we will see ya tomorrow, just before sundown. I will have your drink ready.
And tank-ewe all for the well wishes. I know that I will eventually feel whole and feel right in my own skin, I am practicing patience, not always easy but practice is good for me.
where are the best of my breast friends?? It is lonely in here. Junie, are you okay, check in now. I hope you are winning wherever you are. Cheers, here is a bucket o dog beers. Crissy, wake up and join me. Pants is at your service waiting to feed you your breakfast. He said he misses you.
NM, loved your rant. I hope your ashews stop. The allergens have not started here but a great idea to have the air at the lounge purified. We are here most of the time anyway, drinking.
Lori, can you help me think of shirts to wear to TPIR? Anyone? I had not given that any thought, thanks. I hope your pissants turned out well and did not give you much trouble. Damn pissants. Speaking of pissants, I am tired and feeling a bit pissy myself. I hope I can sleep late. And drink early.
I have exceeded my word limit, good nig

LMAO at all the posts....my gawd we are a fun bunch of gals! Gail so glad you had a good bone density test! I was supposed to do that a few months ago but haven't yet. Well girlz I need some luck here....so far I am giving more than I am getting...actually I am giving and not getting any $$$ back! BJ was going well then some dingbat sat next to me and never hit what he should have hit so I got HIS cards which busted my hand....we were doing really well till then. Good dwinks though....started with a beer, then champagne w/splash of peach schnapps, then jack daniels and diet coke! The vip lounge had yummy chicken wings, then the cocktail party had huge chilled shrimp as well as delicious coconut shrimp.....sooooo goood. Breakfast buffet is 77 cents in the morning, then more drinking, gambling, eating, and HOPEFULLY win some drawings. Yeah, right. I need some luck big time girlz! Well, Dh is waiting for me to finish here as we don't have internet in the room, so ta ta for now.....love you all!!!!

OMG, the dogs had so much fun! And they weren't even drinkin. We had fun too. These dogs are just so funny together,,, have you ever noticed your friend's daughter is just like her? My friends' dogs are like their moms too! there's the mouthy one, the crabby one, the one that keeps smiling when there's sh!t in her sandwich...
I played too much Wii tennis and my elbow and shoulder are aching... JACUZZI!

Funny cartoon NM with the student driver, but almost so true! Astorm's DD will have to have the Virgin learners permit though!
Kathy, a good vacuum won't do me much good, as I do not have any carpet in my house! Have fun at the casino, I hope the Gambling Gods are good to you!
LMAO Dorothy, about HD's face..........FUNNY! But indeed, she does have nice hair. And OMG, the Fukitol. I was waiting to see your response to that one! You can never exceed your word limit either. As for the shirt, I am one of those with NO creativity at all. But if something comes to mind, I will certainly share.
Wow Kathy, 77 cents for breakfast? I'll be right there to join you. And the champagne with peach schnapps sounds good too. Think I'll have that with breakfast.
Astorm, glad you had fun with your friends and pooches. Funny how they are like their owners! Easy on the wii!
Kymn, stand your ground. You are right, it's yours to have. 3 weeks to wait for copies is ridiculous. And who the hell does that nurse think she is telling you that SHE won't be pushed around? That just makes me livid and I would report you. I'm sure NM will have some advice for that as well! And yes WATER and PROTIEN should be your best friends. Very important. I was told 45 (I think grams) a day for the protein, so look for things high in protein that you can tolerate if you start to feel icky. Also if fatigue sets in, take that seriously and REST. Otherwise it will catch up with you, and you will end up feeling worse. Are you understanding the Fukitol yet? I have that cartoon on my computer and thought I had posted here long ago. It is a good one!
PissAunt Beans, HD is right. You did have some great pics of your pill bottles. I always loved reading about your explanations and abbreviations! No telling how many pages back those are!
Stanzie, hope you and the kids had fun at the movies.0 -
Stanzie, here is the link where the I Phone auto corrects came from. They are pretty funny!
0 -
Stanzie-wasn't it you who posted about shooting squirrels? Maybe my as yet inadequately caffeinated brain went on a mental fantasy trip. Happens some times.
Wahine-so far I still see the date as the beginning of 3 years of physical, mental and emotional he##. Eventually the intensity of the depression, anger, etc will fade, I hope. In the meantime, at least I know I'm not really going insane, there IS a reason for my feeling like I do. And I did find BCO and the HTL, so there is an up side. I'll try to focus more on that!
Yeah, Dee! I'm with you!Beanie-I see you and the tenders have developed a more efficient way of delivering dwinkies! Good job!
AStorm-before recon surgery I was using the Wii for yoga and liked it a lot. The pace was just right for me most of the time and I could pause the program anytime I needed to. I'm not sure why I'm afraid to start doing yoga again. I'll have to think on that one for a while. Great bone density news for you! Sorry your BFF has to face MORE treatment decisions.
Kymm-I can't think of questions when I'm in front of the doc either. I can recite a list of questions in the waiting room and in the exam room while waiting, but the second the doc says anything, even just "hello" I lose every single one of them. Crazy isn't it? A couple of my docs actually take my list and go through it, one even writes notes on her answers on the sheet! When I have a lot of questions I call the office and ask if I can fax the list in ahead of time. I've actually had my appointments changed so the doc can spend more time with me when I've faxed a multipage list of questions and concerns. Fukitol is the all-purpose, fixes everything pill that is freely available here in the HTL. Many of us make heavy use of this little chemical assistant. And stick to your guns about getting your info! The reason it takes so long to get a mailed copy of records is the most places go through a third party record management system to make sure all the HIPPA rules are followed. Don't be surprised to be billed as much as $0.15 per page. I pay an average of $30 for records, which is irritating when I don't get everything I want and up paying for some info twice. Show up for your appointments but refuse treatment if you haven't gotten the info, you will probably be handed copies of what you want within a few minutes. The chemo center won't want to lose money by tossing the chemo already prepared for you. The first time or two you may have to be a bit cranky to make them see you are serious. Reading further, I didn't catch that the nurse said she wouldn't be pushed around, I thought YOU said that. Tell the nurse who won't be pushed around that you do not want her involved in your care, that you don't hire people to provide care or services to you that don't put you first. Remember through all this, the staff works FOR YOU, you do not work for them.
Oh, boy did I get off an another rant. I'm going to re-name March "Rant-Month." It's a wonder you ladies all put up with me.I can't resist this DOTD:
The Boss
1/4 oz Apricot Brandy
1/4 oz Galliano
3/4 oz Dark Rum
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
5 oz Pineapple Juice

Wow NM - Great Advice!!!!! I wish I could even thing that coherently for what to say when pushed - I can't even do it later. That was beautifully said. I'm told it is a MS thing where when something is upsetting emotion takes over and I honestly can't think of anything to say that comes across nice and coherent - even days later.... my thinking is just a jumble at times which of course brings me to ...yes it was me with the squirrels - I honestly didn't remember at all!!!! Oh dear.
Goldie- thanks for the real link. You know how sometimes things just hit you funny - well reading those just sent me into gales of laughter and my kids came running - not exactly appropiate for them but awfully funny.
Two of my kids didn't have school on Friday so we went to see I am number 4. It was better than I thought buy one of those non-stop action thing with fights that just wear me out. I get so involved that I'm just really tired. Of couse I have to says things like OH, and Ouch, and No and Not the Dog, Save the Dog!!! So my kids just want to die of embarrassment! Something happened right before the movie started , oh I know my daughter reminded me to turn off my phone and handed me hers to put in my pocketbook and I was being silly as she almost worships that silly phone and as she handed it to me I pretended to throw it. The look on her face was just priceless so I just went into a fit of laughing you know the kind where no noise comes out.... Well they got tickled but then realized people were around them then got embarrassed which just sent me further into laughter.... Maybe that helped to make me so tired. But gosh laughing really hard is go wonderful!
Kathy- Oh wouldn't it just be too exciting for you to hit some jackpot!!!! Oh please do!!!
Congrats on who got the good bone scan- Astorm? Yay!!! Mine two years ago wasn't great so dreading this year's results. My grandmothers and great aunts all had bad osteoporis and I remember my Mom saying it was the "Hawkins Hump". Now there's something to look forward to! NOT!
Well, hope you all have a lovely relaxing Sat. by the pool, in the casino, lying in the hammocks snoozing - but gosh don't you think some cushions and pillows might make those hammocks more comfortable and less likely to lose parts through the ropes? I don't think I could have stayed like that!
I read pretty much any kind of book and adore reading - I'm finishing Fall of Giants - Ken Follett and also reading Elizabeth George's latest now in paperback and can't stop reading..... What do you all like to read? My wonderful cousin who helped me through this whole BC ordeal left today on a cruise with her daughter and her friends and moms for spring break. So hoping she has fun!!! OK, I'll stop now.

I slept like a rock, surrounded by the pets that DH usually bans from the bedroom (i.e., cats). Now I have a mild headache (chardonnay?) and my body feels old. WD is whining too which is out of character... and barking at the heater vent... and he keeps ringing the bell on the back door but doesn't want to go outside, which usually means he is trying to tell me something... do dogs get hangovers?
Lori - "Easy on the wii!" ... now you tell me. I can hardly move! That's good right? It means my body got some exercise... I think I remember this feeling.
Kymn - I have had to change doctors a few times so I request copies of everything as I go! When I changed oncos last month I found it really difficult to get my records though. According to the website I had to call a specific office (not my doctor). After trying the number for several days... no answer... I called doc's office and they gave me a different number. Took 2 days for that office to return my call. I was instructed to download a form and fax it to them or bring to my former onco's office. I thought it would be more efficient to fax it directly to the office where the copies were to be made but of course the fax number on the form was not correct and it took several more days to figure that out and get the new number. I heard nothing until I called my new onco's office the day before the consult to ask if they got the records... yes, only this morning. It took about 3 weeks. Maybe your doc's office is just being honest... records take 3 weeks.
NM - that dog pic looks a little like my house this morning.
Stanzie - I read pretty much anything and everything! I started keeping a reading list to prevent myself from buying books that I've already read. There are books in every room of my house,,, yes, even the bathrooms. I read about 40 books every year... I always have at least one on my nightstand, a kindle book, and an audiobook going in my car. My current audiobook is Fall of Giants! Did you read Pillows of the Earth and World Without End? DH likes history (which he calls nonfiction) so I read historical fiction so I know what he is talking about... couldn't get interested without Follett's fascinating characters. I read Eat, Pray Love with my book group and then we saw the film but I haven't read her latest. I read Sarah's Key (Tatiana de Rosnay) for my book group but finished it in one day so I started A Secret Kept on my kindle. So I guess mostly I like historical fiction with amazing character development, and stories about Southern women (who are always interesting!) as they remind me of my mom. Oh, and I am also reading "Auditing and Attestation" but not with much interest.

Off skiing in a couple. Wanted to tell Kymm that my research uncovered that 80 grams was what I needed for protein. It's on the American Cancer Society website under nutrition, or was 16 months ago.
The only lasting effect is that I still want to eat all that meat. Think this made a major difference in energy levels during chemo.
And exercise if you can. Look at the Melinda Irwin video for more information on exercise.
Believe it or not, we all make it through, but certainly daunting at the start.
Think may be some sunshine in the mountains and decent roads, so no "extreme winter driving" sport on top of skiing. YIPPIE!!!!

Greetings from Casinoland,girlz! Thanks for hoping the Casino Gods will bestow wealth on me! Hope so. The b'fast was amazing, with the omelet bar, ect...usually $9, but if you have at least 77 cents in comps, then that is all you pay. They even have a VIP section....sweet! Dying for a dwink, but DH is napping, so as soon as he gets up we can partay and dwink and gamble!!! Hooray!
Kymn, I just read the Mar Readers Digest, and there is an article on Robin, from GMA, and she is also triple neg, so you might want to read it. Mentioned that body mass should be kept at low numbers, and that she had chemo depression, and that chemo can take a yr to get out of you system......some good info, and she is such a positive, uplifting lady...I really admire her, and that she went public with her bc. BUT y ou know we will be here with you, so you will do just fine! Just might be interesting to read that article though.
FUNNY PICS you all! And Gail, so glad everyone had a good time, and hilarious how the doggies resembled their mommy owners!
Stanzie, so funny about losing it at the theater! Bet your kids wanted to disappear asap!!! Glad you had fun!
Lori, OH, didn't realize you didn't have carpet....but do hope you can find a good air purifier!!!!
I know there is more to answer, but if I don't go upstairs and wake up DH, then the afternoon will be gone! Think I will get another sweet champange with the spalsh of peach schnapps again...that was delish!
CaChing!

wow thanks ladies great advice from all of you and I will certainly pay attention to all these things. I do have a little problem though. um I have always had discharge in my breast well ever since having kids and it was never a concern for the docs because there was no odor and no blood. Well I just noticed today that the breast that I had the lumpectomies on well it now has bloody dishcarge?? Any thoughts on this did anyone else get this should i be over concerned I am freaking out a bit.
oh and ps yes I must be blond lmao thanks for the explanation of fukitol what a silly woman I am lol

Hippa laws so counterproductive. They seem to hither rather than help any of us. I have had issues with cutting through the red tape. Hippa law, for the birds....

Oh Kymn - wish I could help you with that. Can you call your Dr.'s office just to check it out so you won't be worried all weekend?
Astorm - Love the little dog with glasses..... miss my baby so much but just not ready yet. Yes I think I have read all of Ken Follett's books - actually went to hear him lecture about Fall of Giants - such an interesting man and such great books. I think Pillars of the Earth and Man from St. Peterburg are two of my all time favorites. Funny I started Eat, Pray, Love and moved on to something else so will have to go back to it. Love that my oldest is now reading books that I actually like to read. That book Incrediably Loud and Extremely Close or vice versa I had read but it was so interesting hearing what his take on the book was as he was in Kindergarden when 911 happened. He also read the Hunger Games - Whew.... And those books by Neil Gamen (sp?) which I enjoyed as well. Anyway, when I was my daughter's age I was such a slow reader and not into it. Not sure what happened but I have to have many books going and have a huge stack waiting... wanted a Kindall but hope someday to get an ipad instead but won't be any time soon I'm afraid.
Lori - I know several people who have those air purifiers and really swear by them. Hope you can find one that works. I get allergies every other year?? wonder what blooms like that? Probably good you don't have carpets. Gosh your house is probably really clean.... I'm jealous!
Have a lovely time skiing Claire - now that we have seen the beautiful landscape no wonder you can't wait to get outside! It is cold and rainy here... We are going to see the kid's show Honk tonight. Sean is excited the other two are worried it will be too young for them... sigh.
