    The lasagna is in.  Its gonna be the best I have ever made.  DH went shopping and got me everything I asked for including fresh parsley  3 layers of ricotta cheese are 4 other cheese sprinkled on top.  All fresh from an Italian deli.  I dont know if eating lasagna is good luck on New Years, but from now on it will be tradition in this household.

    I have been trying to clean out my photobucket.  Have over 100 pages of pictures.  There were some I sure liked cause I have copied them 2 or 3 times.  Then there are those that I still like that I just couldnt get myself to delete.  So right now Im as far back as July 4th!  Probably have pictures of last Christmas hahahaha.

    Sheri:  I remember when the 3 of you met.  Werent there pictures that you all took.  I sure would like to see a picture of that again.

    Neese:  I just knew it.  Final total here is 4 inches, but we are still getting lake effect snow.  They are also calling for misting ice from the Lake on Lake Shore Drive.  The waves are huge on Lake Michigan and as they hit the ground the mist is freezing.  I cant imagine being stuck in the house with a 3 y/o and a husband that has been home for 12 days.  I would be going bonkers.  I saw these people who belong to the "Polar Bear Club" take a dip into the Lake today.  Now thats crazy if I ever heard of craziness.  17 degrees here and the windchill is below zero.

    DEbC:  I just wanna know.  Did you send this weather our way?  Last Winter I could always count on what was happening in Alaska to happen here in Chicago a week later.

    Karen:  I heard you all got a foot of snow in Denver too.  Three more months of Winter will make this girl go crazy.

    Gina:  I think your hair sounds really cute.  Stylish ya know.  I wish I would have colored my hair when it was just growing in.  I had alot of salt and pepper and didnt get the nerve to color it until I was given a senior discount as Kohls one day.  I would be scared to death to color my hair myself though.  Happy New Year dear friend.

    Doris:  I just realized you must be proud of the Colts.  And if you dont like football then Im proud of the Colts.  I also remember your trip with Helen1, Rhymme and the others.  And I remember there were pictures.  Gnumonia was a character I recall.  See if you can round up some of those pictures.  It would be great to see.  Thanks my friend - always.

    Snowmen in Thongs:  As I was cleaning my pics out, I found one that I remember you really liked.  So of course it immediately made me think of you.  If your reading - please stop in and say hello.

    Wild/Jan:  You must come here to bco and post your pics from your new camera also.  They are great.

    Vickie:  I had so many sunshines saved in photobucket I needed sunglasses to delete them.  You would have laughed.  I dont know how I found so many different characters, but Im starting the New Year out with new sunshine pictures.  Hope your day is going good.

    PurpleMB: Hope your enjoying your day.  Many of us are just starting an exercise program and will probably need your help.  I figure between you and Margo for motivation I cant go wrong.

    OK - gotta go.  Have a good one.

    As I just posted on the Dreamers Thread..................the roads are terrible..Took me 1 1/2 hours to drive about 42 miles.............the roads were supposed to be okay once I got off our dirt roads..........NOT............I swear they were worse.  Should have just taken an extra couple of Xanax and kept my GD another night!!

    Yup Nicki, we got blasted.  A good foot around here......a bit less in the city. All the schools are closed for tomorrow already.................as I asked on the Dreamers Thread.....................PLEASE repeat after me:  Husband MUST go to work tomorrow...............Husband MUST go to work tomorrow...........Husband MUST go to work tomorrow!!!!

    Going to do some reading..........hope all are enjoying the first day of 08!!

    Denise - I'm repeating after you ...lol.  I hope you have a better day tomorrow.  All that snow sounds dangerous.  Please be careful driving on those roads.  

    Gina - I'm sure your hair looks great.  Will this be your first time receiving RADS?  I had a good experience with rads but felt very tired.   

    Puppy - great picture.  Any secrets to staying thin?

    Nicki - lasagna...yummy.  It sounds like a good dish for new years.

    MB - it's exercise time.  I absolutely need to loose weight this year.  I'm dusting off the treadmill and elyptical machine.  I stocked up the fridge so no more take out during the week.

     I plan to walk/exercise more and eat less sweets.   I hope that does the trick.  If not, I may call Jenny Craig. 

    Well, our two dogs decided to run away this morning.  We are heartbroken.  They both have micro chips so we are hoping someone calls us tomorrow with good news.  If not, we will have to adopt again.    They are a lot of work but we love them so much.

    Oops, Steven needs me.  brb....

    Odalys! I am so sorry about your dogs running away! THat is such a cute picture.

    This is the second time I will be getting rads. It was a bloody disaster last time, but this time I am getting IMRT, a more targetted rad. But they will not be able to avoid getting a pretty large portion of my lung and my esophagus so I am a bit apprehensive.

    Nicki- that is pretty close to what the hair looks like! I love that video! But my hair is no where near that long.

    Neese, be careful in that snow!

    Hey Deb, are the midwest girls getting more snow than alaska these days?

    Odalys sorry about your two dogs - lets just hope they decided to go on an adventure and will be home soon.

    Nicki haven't had dinner yet - to late  now- that sure sounded good.

    Neesie,have you been stuck in the house with hubby for 12 days due to bad weather? Girl, I sure hope you could get out and go some during that time.

    I think what you got arrived in our mountains - we are getting the cold wind from it.  Yesterday in the mid 60's and today lucky if it got mid-40's and then there was the cold wind.

    I made no resolutions - I never keep them.  I'm trying to loose weight now and that was a loosing battle over the holidays!!!!!!!

    Vickie hope you and Nate had a good day.  How long did Nate make it last night?

    I'm gonna close - got a really bad headache from being really stupid today; I'm thinking not the best way to start the new year.

    I'll drop by tomorrow.   Hugs everyone,  Brenda 

    Puppy how do you stay so thin?  Share your secret please.  You are an attractive lady.

    Odalys...so sorry about your dogs.  Have you checked with the local animal shelter to see if they were picked up or turned in?

    Jasmine - I will check with the animal shelter tomorrow.  They were closed today.  Both dogs are rescue dogs from the animal shelter so they are already registered with my contact information.  I am hoping someone turns them in.  Cry

    Good morning everyone.  We are finally having a cold morning. It's in the 50's but feel in the 40's with windshild factor.  Okay, don't laugh... we are breaking the old time record today.  It hasn't been this cold here on Jan 2nd in years.  I guess I better pull out my one heavy coat.  Smile

    Thanks for the well wishes about our dogs.  They haven't come home yet.  It's odd because they got out into our neighbors yard (as they normally do) but this time they are no where to be found.  We asked around and no one has seen them.  Where can they be?  We are all heartbroken.  But, to put things in perspective, yesterday the medical helicopter airlifted another person from the park next to our home.  This time it looked like a teenager and the mother was so upset.  It made my sadness over loosing the dogs insignificant.  Then I realized God has a way of speaking to us and I think He was sending me a message about what is really precious in life.  Okay, enough babbling now.

    Puppy - I can understand how you stay thin.  I have never really liked geggies but do try to force myself to eat them every now and then.  I guess I should eat them more often. 

    Gina - I hope you have better luck with RADS this time around.  Aloe helps a lot.  I started to use it a few days before treatment and then several times a day thereafter.   I can understand your apprehension about exposing your lung and esophagus.  There are no easy decisions on this journey...are there?  (((((hugs)))))

    DebC - any more snow in Alaska?  I can't believe the weather we are having lately.  Glad to see you had a good new years eve.

    Denise - love your commercial.  It brought a smile to my face.

    CY - you are still in my thoughts and prayers.

    I need to run now, work awaits.  Wishing everyone a pain free, good day. 

    Love and hugs,

    Good Morning Everyone:  Back to work so not much computer time, but I did want to stop by and bring some sunshine your way.  Hope you all have a wonderful day and maybe I can catch up with you all after work.

    Odalys:  Im just crying for you.  Hoping your puppies come home.  As soon as you wrote they ran away, I had a visual in my mind of that picture you posted.  Just sending big hugs your way and dont be on too much overload your first day back to work.

    To everyone else - I just sending a big hello.  Time to hit the showers.

    Thanks ladies.  I placed a call to the animal shelter and will keep trying to locate them.  If they are ment to be with us, we will find them.  It's all in God's hands now. 

    On a seperate note:  Could we do round up call to see who is scheduled for tests or procedures this week. I'm sure there are several sisters in need of our love and support and I want to make sure I (we) send out special prayers for them today and throughout the week.    Thanks.

    Odalys,

    Didn't mean to sound flip over the puppies yesterday - sometimes they are just so full of energy and they explore different things.   Then again sometimes my mind goes off in a direction I can't explain - that time it went to books/stories about dogs (or other animals) going on adventures.   Hopefully someone will be kind and give you a call; certainly will be wishing that for you and family.

    Well, unfortunately the holidays are over and it is time to get back on a normal schedule.  Guess we don't have another true holiday until Easter - not sure if that is in March or April this year.

    Sending wishes that we all have a good day at work; those having test will get negative reports, those having surgery will have minimal discomfort, and those not feeling well will have lots of warm sunshine today.

    Cy big hello and hugs!!   Check in when you can  We miss you.

    Good morning... or almost noon.

    We have cold temps here and the wind is blowing around a lot... looks like my leaves will get to wait another day. I wish they would blow onto someone else's yard.

    Peter, thanks for asking, I had a quiet new years which was fine with me. I watched a Fred and Ginger marathon on Turner Classic Movies and then yesterday there was The Honeymooners marathon  followed by an Iron Chef marathon so I was happy. Do you get TCM or The Food Network in Australia?

    Nicki, I think I am getting all your weather, is there any chance you could have 70 degress and sunny today so I get that tomorrow?

    Odalys, can your vet activate the chips and trace where your dogs are? Or does it work in reverse, someone scans your dog and it tells them who they belong to? I keep thinking it is like GPS. I would be frantic right  now- sending you big hugs.

    Sheri, what does a hemoglobin shot entail?

    naniam, you have done enough cleaning for a while I think!! How is Richard's back?

    Bren, how is Mr. Tim's back?

    That is so funny - two brendas both with husbands with back problems at the same hospital and both from here!

    Vickie, I heard there was more snow coming your way. I hope you don't have a long commute. When does Nate go back to school?

    MB last year I tried to start the new exercise program and hit a major detour... but THIS YEAR- I am on board my friend!

    CY I am hoping today is better for you.

    Slonedeb, I pray you are feeling better too.

    Good luck today Puppy! You can do it one day at a time. Remember the less you smoke the prettier you stay!

    Got to get my maniac cat in- he is chasing the squirells again and when he catches them it isn't pretty!

    love,

    The shot for my hemoglobin is aranesp and I didn't have to have it today, woohoo!  I was at 11.1 and he gives it if I'm under 11.0.  Good appt., next office visit is in May, but blood work still every 4 weeks.

    New year is getting off to a good start!
