    Hi Madison, thanks for asking, yes the hives are much better. Still some itchy spots but no new areas. I'm pretty tired out and drinking a lot to flush my system out--just staying close to the bathroom and couch today.

    Vicki, 70 degrees today. Windows open feeling the blessed breeze of spring. Might be a little chillier in Yosemite so bring a sweater. And bug spray. The mosquitos are killer.

    Freezing cold in Michigan, too. But I hear the snow is on the way. Oh Boy (not). COME ON SPRING!

    I've been thinking about being here, but I feel so guilty if I don't get SOME work done. My thoughts (and prayers) have been in surgery today...

    My turn for the chocolate fountain, and I'm taking a cinnamon roll with me!! Gonna stop and by the REALLY big pants on the way home. :-P

    Cheri - good luck with your lump. If Murphy's Law applies, since you're gonna get it looked at, it will turn out to be nothing. But if that's the way to have our lumps be nothing let's all do it!

    Gonna try to get some more work done, but I'll be back.

    ooo Shirley...I can't wait. I used to own a diner so I'll bring all the food. Cheri is becoming a pretty good bartender so we'll let her pass out drinks (DON'T take the blues ones...mage me do strange things LOL).
    Holly...glad your feeling better today...rest and drink.
    Gonna go smack Shokk...little snot ate all my mac and cheese LOL. Looky here missy...bein a scrawny broad ain't much fun either LOL. I have noticed that I'm developing the belly...no boobs, no butt but I get a belly...where the h e double hockey sticks is the justice in THAT! ahh well...I am still here! Yippee and I am beautiful! So are you ... so are we all.

    Vicki - I can't send squares, because I can't find my yarn. (Gonna keep looking, I know it's in the basement somewhere.)However, I will send you my butt. Then you can try the no boobs, big butt, big belly thing... not much fairer than big belly, no butt. BTW - are you SURE it was Shokk that got the mac and cheese??? I've been craving the carbs like mad lately...

    (Yeah, I know I said I was going to work. I'm a big fibber.)

    Gotta tell you girls...layed in bed last night and all I could do was think...
    Of NS and her surgery of course
    Of Tgirl and her chemo
    Of Bayyore and her hives
    Susan and her knee
    Cheri and her mysterious lump
    Shirley and her surgery
    Robin and her lily livered pi$$ poor excuse for a husband
    Amy and Mazer
    Madison and her yarn
    Nicki's early morning post
    Deb with all her sweet friends
    Joyce and Kevin (who I still have to send a care package too)
    Anne, Shokk, Alwayshope, Shel, Puppyfive, Carrie...oh my the list goes on and on. I truly layed there thinking of all of you for sooo long and was just simply marveling at the wonderful circle we have. The grand sisterhood we have created.
    What a blessing
    Love

    Vickie - I have 2 comments:

    1. Obviously, you haven't actually seen my butt. Just the cyber-butt, and cyber-bodies, like cyber-calories are fantasy!

    2. Do you really want the mac and cheese back now?? I'll get my brother to make some more. He's a bachelor, so he's learned to be a pretty good cook over the years.

    I do know what you mean about the circle and thinking. I find my commute is a good time to do my thinking (and some praying, too) and the Circle runs through my mind a lot. I have a nice gal a church who keeps inviting me to the Gilda's Club support group she attends. I've thought about it, and I think the reason I don't feel like I need to go, is all of you. I can come here and tell y'all just about anything, and I know that someone is going to pop back with complete understanding. And hugs. Can't forget all the hugs.

    Wish I was better at compostion. I can play or sing our song, once it's done, but I stunk at composing and arranging in school.

    Better pretend to work a little more.

    Hi Girls,

    My home computer is messed up, so I'm sneaking on for a minute at work to check in on Gina's surgery. I'm wearing my NS pin, and I'm praying!

    Vickie, I'd be happy to send you my butt as well! I just need to find someone to take my thighs now!

    Gotta go--one of my students is waiting to see me. If DH can fix the computer tonight, I'll be back later!

    Love to all of you!!!

    Any NS news??
    Cheri- Thinking positive thoughts for you. Good luck to you tomorrow.

    Doing a quick check in here to see if we heard any word about NS. I hate waiting.

    ok convinced Mazer to get out of the chocolate fountain and she lovingly gave in. All the looks that you ladies were giving Mazer made her feel guilty so she quietly got out and grabbed a cinnamon roll and is content for the time being. I cant promise how long that will last though.

    ok gotta run but will be back. WE need an update.

    Amy...I hate waiting too..as you can tell, I can't seem to stay away today.
    hugs to Kevin sending you a pm.

    It's too soon to hear anything. I was in the or and recovery for almost 5 1/2 hours and didn't even have expanders placed at the time. I'd be surprised if we hear anything before tomorrow. NO SURRENDER!!!!

    She's gonna be fine, girls. Keep the faith. I don't know how long her surgery was supposed to take but I'm sure her dad will notify someone. It's all gonna be alright.

    Hello Everyone: Well I officially have comcast. Took them 5 hours to install everything. It sure is faster. Now I need to go read everyones posts from this morning.

    Ok, I just looked and there are 4 pages since this mornging. OMG. Hope I can catch up with everyone.

    MargaretB: Oh my lord. No self serve in New Jersey? I thought I got a deal today. Paid $2.47/gallon. And yes I was cold. As far as the diet. One day at a time. Here in Chicago we used to have Marshall Fields. They were known for their Frango Mints. Quite a treat. But Ive been good. But alas, Im drinking a glass of wine tonight so not as good as I want to be. And I didnt exercise when I came home cause the comcast guys were still here.

    Holly: Im so glad you were able to take the Benadryl. That should take care of the hives. Im not happy when any of my doctors are on vacation or off. Its just not the same.

    Joyce: Im glad to hear your feeling a little better. Dont like the numbness Kevin is feeling and hoping everything is ok there. Im glad he finially got to go back to school. Get his mind on others things will be so healthy.

    Oh my goodness, you all were a talkative bunch today. I still have 2 more pages to read.

    Robin: Exercise while on chemo? Oh my. I could never do that. Im just wondering if your getting Decadron with your chemo. That caused me to gain 30 pounds!! Love ya sweetie.

    Jasmine: Wt loss is very complicated. And I want you to know that xanax is my best friend. When Im done here I need to find the skinny minny thread.

    Vickie: Oh geez, Im so sorry. No stress relief today. I was at work driving about all day.

    Joyce: Had to make you feel good that the PS called you. It only takes a little bit for us to feel like we are cared for.

    DebC: Your so funny. Queen of the fat chicks? Well then I think Im the princess. Good prayer. And Im laughing at Uncle Bud.

    Liz: Im relieved that NS dad has your cell phone number.

    Pewggy!!!!! ahahahaha "There is a little witch in all of us." I get it - I really get it.

    Cheri: Im so glad you are seeing the onc tomorrow about your lump. We were so worried about you. We are used to your posts and when your gone, we miss you and worry.

    Betty: I jsut love comcast. And ahahahaha you might not have the first early morning post, but I still have Vickie to contend with. Oh me oh my.

    Well I have tried to take notes. Useless. They are just useless. Cant read a dang thing I wrote.

    OK first of all with NS. We are counting on the fact that her surgery started on time, which it probably didnt. I basically had the same surgery as NS and it was 5 hours then another 2 1/2 in recovery room. I didnt get to my room till 11pm and my surgery was supposed to start at 3pm, which it didnt. So everyone try and relax. As Im biting my nails.

    Sherloc: Distorted Humor was quite upset he didnt fit into the fountain. He was more upset, I went into the surgery room and left him with all of you to manage. I sure do hope he behaved himself. And Mosquitos? You have Mosquitos? Geez, its too cold here for that.

    Gus/Sue: hope your computer gets fixed really soon.

    OK! Its getting late and I have to go. Sending love and hugs to everyone here. See ya in the morning
