Hey Jan...Mets is when your cancer moves to a new place in your body...bones, brain, lung etc. A new primary cancer just means you won the damn cancer lottery twice and have a whole new breast cancer. It can be the same type of a different type, but it is a whole new ball game, not the second inning of the first cancer.

Evening
Vickie - love the dancing dog video
Amy - congrats on the new job
Always - I'm with you, can down a quart in no time. Diet ice cream? Oh girl give me Ben and Jerrys
Susan - The wanted pictures are great! I'm so impressed.
Jan - Those guys give me the creeps every time you post them. I want that little kitty though.
NS - yippee for the first of many bits of good news.
Vickie and Madison - I am becoming a crocheting fool. Have had so much fun trying out the different patterns in the book I found that my poor hand is all cramped. Used to crochet years ago and am surprised how much I remember.
Hope everyone had a joyful day.
Sleep well dear sisters.

That is great news Sparky! I knew with all of us praying your scans would have to be good. I'm sooo happy for you...and us. lol We've missed you. You can handle this.
Jan, I found something that would scare those pesky guys that you & vickie keep finding for me but my dd 'cleaned' out my computer yesterday & I can't use the photobucket right. Everytime I try to browse & put a pic on there...the pic of that old motorcycle that I gave you for your anniversary shows up. Downloads it every time. I am sooo frustrated.

Betty, you made it through two years! Congrats!
Congrats Amy. Less driving to do means more time with family and US!
Tgirl, I watched Rachael Ray while doing chemo, watching the food channel was great as it gave hubby and me things to talk about while sitting there for several hours
Shirley, that means Coronado more than likely also very nice area. I was at the beach there, every chance I got.
Wow Judy sounds like you had a blast
Wow Susan those posters are AWESOME!
Great news NS, Praying that the techs gave it to you right. You will beat it this time too!
Bit tired tonight but had to check in here. There was an article about being addicted to email on the news tonight. What? Not me Im just addicted to the circle!0 -

Sorry, but you know when you have a hoe-down you have to have hay bales to sit on. No short skirts and thong underwear girls...hay gets a little itchy.

I have determined that my life and the things in it would be so much better if I didn't continuously try to make things much more complicated than they really are. Take for instance, my new avatar. I have spent much time and effort trying to figure out how to post an avatar. I have picked out photos and cropped, re-sized, and sat while I thought it was loading...a long time. Tonight I stumbled onto the easiest way of all. Search for one that is ready to be posted. No pesky cropping or trying to make the photo small enough to fit. Who would've thought. And I can always change it if I tire of it. Although, so many of you ladies are cat people that I thought it only right that I make mine a little puppy. One of my favorite things in the world. I do love dogs. You can trust a dog. They don't care what your hair looks like, how much weight you put on, if you've scolded them that morning, they can keep a secret better than anyone, they can do tricks, they know when you're sick and act accordingly, and they are more than willing to actually die for you. To give their lives so you may live. My dogs are smart. My grandson Ethans dog is not. Dogs are like people in that sense as well. Some are just not real bright. My dd cannot have pets where they moved and Ethan truly loves his little mini-pin, Scooter. Grandma loves dogs, however this particular dog poops in grandmas floor and chews up her & everybody elses things. Ethan begged for us to keep him and that is the only reason he is still here. But I've about my reached the end of my rope with Scooter. He is full-blooded, friendly, playful, and will NOT learn to poop outside. He is 2 yrs old. I love Ethan with all my heart but I do not like his dog. Scooter might just have a terrible accident if I knew anyone that had a good home for him. Do any of you know of one?
Walking the perimeter once more to make sure all my friends are tucked in their tents and are safe. We sure had good news today with Sparkys tests. Sleep well my friends.

Good morning everyone,
Thanks for the inner circle yesterday. I'm feeling better today. DH and I talked about the fact that I remember these anniversaies and he tries his best to forget the exact dates. I'm lousy at math and numbers, but I do seem to keep these dates in my head. Wish I could change. Any suggestions. Now I just need to get though the 25th (Mast. date). DH says were are going to do something fun Sunday - make a new memory time.
NS - wonderful news. Keep fighting. I know you will.
Susan, I love the wanted poster. I have a great picture of me when I was a kid trying to be Dale Evens. But I look like a goofy cowboy. Have to figure out Photo Bucket, then I'll be asking you about it.
Deb, Oh I can't wait. I love surprises.
Had a cool thing happen yesterday. Because I was awake so early yesterday, I finished reading The Secret Life of Bees. One of the characters reminded me of a high school friend's father. So after I posted here, I googled my friend and I FOUND HIM. I emailed and ask if it was him and ask if he would tell me the names of his neighbors long ago so that I would know it really was him. The neighbors were my aunt and uncle who I didn't like. Sure enough, he wrote about us making fun of them. We exchanged a couple of emails and are planning to get together. We live about 2 hours away. DH has no worries. My friend finally came out of the closet a few years ago. Sad thing is he has some major heart health problems. But it so nice to finally connect again. I didn't like high school much. I was the kid in glasses with the homemade clothes. I had a mouth on me, cutting down everyone and everything. Phil stuck with me and I stuck with him through those crappy times. I can't wait to see him again.
Once again, I didn't take notes, so blessings to you all.

Good Morning Everyone: Well, I crawled out of bed with Pinot Grigio flu! So Im moving slow this morning. But this first cup of coffee seems to be hitting the spot. Talking about chemo brain - I almost did it again. Husband got up early and its garbage day. I looked at him and said what are you doing "Its only Wednesday." He stopped for a momemnt and say you crazy girl, its Thursday. Boy did that make me happy. Seemed liked this week was going way too slow.
Well we are now rethinking if their is a tear in the pool lining. Last week we had a foot of snow. Yesterday 50 degrees with lots of melting. So the flooding in the yard may not be the pool at all, but massive flooding from the warm weather.
Jasmine: Hmmmmm Low carb ice cream is good if your on South Beach! But it still has the calories and isnt not low fat! And I think it tastes pretty darn good. Walking 1.5 miles was pretty darn good by the way. On my treadmill 1.8 miles at a speed of 3.0 - burns 300 calories! Do that every day and you will burn 2100 calories for the week. A sure way to lose weight. Im pretty deconditioned myself, but each day it does get easier.
Vickie: WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Im standing outside your tent and singing early wake up call. And ready to hand you a fresh brewed cup of coffee.
Brenda: Good morning to you. Glad you got through yesterday. Those anniversaries are killers. Your husband has a grand idea for the 25th.
Liz: Good to see you again. Hope everything is going well. Sure miss you when your not here.
NS: Im thrilled about your preliminary test results. Those techs are pretty good. They do this everyday and have learned how to read those things pretty good.
Tracey: Great picture. Once again, I am finding myself laughing in this quiet house. Seems like the laughing echoes when its so quiet. People would think Im crazy.
DebC: Cute smiley.
Boo/Sue: Once you learn to crochet, you dont forget. Its fun again, isnt it?
PurpleMB: And what were you doing up so late last night?
Madison: Hurry, hurry, we need to wake up Vickie.
As many of you are approaching anniversaries, it got me to thinking. 2 years ago at this time, I had started a new job. Had to wait for insurance to kick in - which was April 1, 2005. Found my lump one week after starting the new job. I remember thinking, hmmmm - this doesnt feel right. But hey, this is Nicki - the strong person who never gets sick. And as time went by, I could feel the lump growing, changing. The rest is history. Im sure glad its 2 years later and here I am, done with surgery and treatment and feeling pretty good.
So - time to go. I was supposed to get fasting blood work today, but Im blowing it off. Didnt take my cholesterol medication for 5 days! So I think I will just reschedule it. Too late to change my mind, already have cream in my coffee.
Hope everyone has a grand day.
Nicki0 -
Good Morning All
Cheri - I like your new avatar. Still can't manage to post one myself.
Betty - I'm glad your feeling better. I haven't hit any of my anniversaries yet. April 2nd will be 1 year since I
found a lump. Not sure what that day will be like for me.
Cheri - Hope the coffee does it's magic for you. I'm with you on the chemo brain. I do at least 1 stupid thing daily.
Well I'm not working today and have so much to do but all I feel like doing is sitting down and making some squares! I'll have to work on getting at least a few things accomplished. Ugghhh
Hope all are well this morning. Hi to everyone.

NS--yeah! So far the news is better than you expected, I think. I am so happy.
Amy--Great on the job!
Always,Jasmine--Share the ice cream if it's chocolate.
Yes, I was a 'goody, two shoes', but there's a little wild that wants to come out.0 -

Good morning ladies,
MB...sent you my email.
Nicki...good morning...I overslept yet again so it was a mad dash to get off to work...whew. I have been painting and crocheting way too late at night. I have tomorrow off!! Yippee...hopefully I can finish painting and spend the weekend working on the afghans.
Cheri...thanks for tucking us all in. I have a cat that is going to end up with one less life...she is just simply psychotic! Seriously...maybe we should put her and Ethan's dog together! She's my attack cat...no one needs to worry about my german shepherds it's the cat thats dangerous LOL.
Betty...my goodness you're an early riser. We are going to have to pass the trumpet to you to wake the rest of us up! Glad your feeling better today and sending you hugs. I had a weird kind of day yesterday...just hard to believe that last year at this time my hair was gone, I was on chemo number 3, convinced I would never see another year...
I have to say that I hate the anniversaries and would rather just erase the entire year from my mind. Don't know what I'll do on the anniversary of my bilteral...my sister wants to have a big celebration (the whole one year thing)and I would rather just ignore it. I don't consider it one year out at that point anyways as I didn't finish rads until September...ok...nuf whining.
Sue...I'd help you post an avitar but I personally had a terrible time myself (and I'm the computer tech here along with being the bookkeeper...shh...don't tell).
Yeah for Deb...cute pics!
Susan...I am loving the wanted posters!
Cheri...I have to give up my short skirts and thongs for this party...what's a girl to do. I'm gonna play Daisy Duke LOL!
Jasmine...I could use some ice cream today...peanut butter cup!! It's the best!!
Sheri...good morning...have a great day!
Madison...time to get up!
How is Kevin doing...and LauraB...and RobinTn...what are we gonna do about our missing girls!
Gotta get back to work...yup...my name is Vickie and I'm a boardaholic.
Love to all, sorry to all I've missed but your in my heart
Vickie0 -
