    Hey all!

    Susan:  Thanks for letting all now that I was playing "little house on the prarie" yesterday...............yup, no power....heating water over the fire to bathe with......cooking wieners in the fire place......and texting Susan cuz that was the only form of communication I had!!

    Weather was fine yesterday...............had to be cuz I decided to vacumm!  Like I said earlier.......I'll just make sure that doesn't happen again!!

    Amy:  Good to hear from you...........and I like what I hear!!  How's Tuck doing?  Haven't heard to much about him lately?  And the barn?  Are we still having a "barn raising" this summer????

    Madison:  I'm so glad that Mary Katherine was able to email you.  Thoughts are with you all.

    I'm going to send a little "goodie box" to Madisons DD..............do any of our other Military Relatives need (want) one??  Amy, is your nephew still in Iraq?  Shirley.......how about 'the boy'?  WildJan:  Your Son?  I know I've left some out, but let me (us) know and I'll put together a little box for them!

    Hugs,

    Neesie

    Hey Amy, I'm glad the Harley brought you good luck and the Jacket kept you warm!  That was excellent news!  You're doing a real good job kicking cancer's butt!  I know the next ride will be even better!

    Hey Neesie!

    Hey Charlene-Angel!

    Welcome to all the new ladies!  I bounce in and out, so if I haven't had a chance to say hello, I apologize!

    OH MY GOD!!!

    I am going to have to post this everywhere!!  I got a huggie afghan just now!!

    I just keep saying "oh my God" over and over!!  I saw Vickie's address and I thought.  Oh how nice, Vickie sent me a present.  Then I thought, "Oh, no .. they're sending my squares back - I'm a total reject!!"

    But, it's a blankie and it's the very one I commented on the other day that I thought was so beautiful and I wondered where it was going.  Well, it's here!!!   Oh my God!!  When I calm down I'll take some more pictures.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I better post this msg in all the afghan threads now.

    love you guys much,

    Bren

    ((((( Amy ))))) - a well earned weekend of partying my friend .. so happy for you

    MB: You are always on the move girl .. you're an inspiration. I should have had my pedometer on yesterday with all the walking I was doing lol ... it wore me out though ... I guess I need to work up to doing things slowly ... nice size bedroom .. I could never paint that, my arm would fall off .. lol

    Candie: Hi, good to see you. I've been wondering where you are. So glad you stopped in. Hugs.

    Neesie: no more vacuuming hahaha sounds like a good idea to me!!

    Shokk: hahaha I don't see too many angels that I post that would qualify for VS models .. maybe the one at the top of this page but I thought it was such a beautiful image in many ways ... sorry if I offended you ... most people really like the angels I post, at least that's my understanding .. are the children and baby angels old pics of you too ... lol  I don't understand being paranoid by my posting angel pics everyday .. are you asking me not to? How is it making you paranoid? I certainly don't mean to upset anyone.

    Janny: Woo Hoo, you sure know how to ride that Harley!!! Good to see you girlfriend!

    Bren, 

    Dropped by just to say your getting an afghan brought a big smile to my face.  Have a feeling it is for all those little things you do for folks behind the scenes never seeking any recognition.    

    Enjoy the afghan - Hugs,  Brenda

    Good afternoon Circle Ladies.  Boy, what a long long day!

    Angel -- how is the house shifting going?  I think that's pretty smart about not just moving everything from room to room but using this as a time to get rid of clutter. 

    Amy -- that is great news about your scans.  Will you continue with this chemo treatment then?  I'm glad you like the song of the day.  Its alot of fun going through all the golden oldies on youtube.  A stroll down memory lane.  Nope, we just got a little sleet in my area.  It didn't stay long thank goodness.  

    Biker -- nice to see you pop in.

    Breezie -- bring your favorite beverage and have a seat.

    Shokk -- howdy from the promise land!  LOL

    BMD -- how are you doing?  Still working on closing those houses?  I was thinking if a person had alot of extra cash laying around, this would be a good time to snatch up some houses for rental income.  Too bad I don't have any extra cash.  :(

    Neesie -- always nice to see you pop in.

    Hi susan, purple and Candie.  Well, going to run.  Got another support ticket.  Don't these people know I'm busy posting on the internet???

    I want to thank all of you for the big welcome. It makes me feel so much more comfortable posting than I thought I would. Your such friendly, nice ladies and seem to be good friends. Groups are not usually easy to join but it's nice here. I read some about the history of the Wagon Circle and it's just amazing to me. At least I understood what the lady meant that asked me to join the campfire. lol My breast cancer has always been difficult for me to talk openly about but this whole board is a comfortable fit.

    I stopped in at the singing, dreaming thread and noticed most of you write in both places and thought that made it nice. In fact, I've noticed so many of you all over the forum so running into some of the same people should make it easier to get acquainted.

    I don't know how you keep everyone and everything straight I don't think I could ever do that.

    I did want to say to Angel that I think you post beautiful Angel pictures and I have seen several of them. And to the lady that said something about them I thought you were being very funny to make fun of yourself being a model for them. Oh my, you were being funny, right? It would be a joke if I said something like that about myself, that's for sure. lol

    Thank you to those of you that complimented me on my name. My name is Briannon Louise after my grandmothers but my dad nicknamed me Breezie when I was very small and it just stuck. I did hate it in school because they teased me and called me Breezie Weezie. lol I got over it.

    I can't believe how much I wrote here! Sorry I got carried away but I think instead of deleting it I will just leave it.

    Good evening ladies-just stopped in to say hello, and hope everyone has a good night.



    Breezie, I've been posting for a few months, and I still can't keep up with everyone. It's getting a ,little easier, but I usually just stop and at read the posts. I've never been a big talker, but every now and then I put in my 2 cents !!



    Charlene, I love the last big angel pic you posted, but she made me cold !!



    Bren, enjoy your afghan ! I'm trying to teach myself to crochet, so I can contribute to the afghan project, but I think it might take a while !!!



    Hugs to All--good night

    MB - LOL  "soon I hope to have a room in the basement for my equipt..."

    Amy, roving reporters gotta do what roving reporters gotta do.

    Barb, if you don't know how to crochet, Knifty Knitters work great.

    Angel, shokk and I love your angel pics.  honest.

    Jaz, if the job is in the way, you know what you have to do!!!

    Neesie, you don't really vacuum, do you.  gosh I'm so disappointed.

    Hi Brenda and Breezie

    And Biker.  How's our kick butt Harley Momma?

    Good morning!!

    Hope you all have a great day...can't believe it is the end of Jan. already. Wasn't it just Christmas?

    Neesie...hi toenail sis! love the idea of tattoed toe.What kind of tatoo should we get? 12 great-grandchildren...what a blessing.

    How was your lunch with the MI girls? Oh not to vacuum..would be nice.

    Suz, good to see you

    Amy,congrats on good scans

    Wild/Jan, I do miss your pictures

    Margo,thanks for the infor on two bucks chuck. There is a Trader Joe's near me...I have to try it...what the heck for 2 bucks...lol

    Jas,look forward to the morning songs. When I hear.."Works hard for the money" I think of Atticus dancing and singing in the "Birdcage"...love that movie.

    Suzola Granola...u r a great reporter...love the name..lol

    Charlene,just to let you know I just got the rest of my Christmas decorations put away this past weekend. So glad I amnot the only one. How's your moving around the house going?

    Breezie, welcome to the circle. Lots of love,hugs,support and friendship here. It took me along time to keep everyone straight, but you soon get the hang of it. I know I miss some people sometimes but I don't mean to.

    Madison,glad your daughter arrived safely

    Barb,my 12 year old niece recently taught me to crochet. I am practicing but I still dont have it yet. I want to help with the afghans,too.

    Ok, gotta start this crazy day. Another 9-9 day. I get 2 hours off for lunch and dinner. I am gonna take it together today, to go visit my cousin who is recovering from a hysterectomy. She is healing nicely.

    So while I work tonite from 5-9 tonite, at least I get to read and post on the boards and get caught up on the different threads.

    Have a great day!!!

    Hugs and prayers,

    Candie

    Good morning my friends

    Jasmine: The house shifting is going slowly ...but having a 2 year old and me feeling like an 80 year old doesn't help any! LOL

    Shokk: Of Course you were teasing .. I Know you weren't a VS model LOL ... I couldn't find the joke in the paranoia with my daily angel pics tho so I wasn't sure about that part ... Glad you're okay with it.

    Breezie: I'm glad you like the Angel pics. I felt like you did when I first joined here but don't worry about keeping everything and everyone straight .. over time it just happens as you get to know people. I have a sister whose middle name is Louise. I love how old fashioned and unique it is! Your name is very pretty all together.

    Barb: She made me cold too but the Angels don't feel cold and hot like we do! LOL

    Susan: I'm glad

    Pat: You have an appointment tomorrow for your CT scan right? Let us know what time so we can be there with you.

    BMD: Hey busy lady! Don't you over do now.

    Candie: I'm glad to hear your cousin is healing well. My moving around is going slowly. It feels good to be up and doing things but I pay for it later and then it makes it harder .. make sense? Luckily Karl is good with me directing more and him moving more!

    Today I have an eye doctor appt., how exciting right?  LOL  I am excited though because I haven't been able to see worth crap all year and it's gotten progressivly worse.  My current prescription makes everything blurry so it's obviosly no good any longer.  Just sitting watching television and trying to see what's on is enough to make me not watch because I can't read the guide channel!  It will be nice to see Audrey on the field better too when I attend her sporting events.  If there's anyone who resembles her sometimes I'm not sure which one she is.  I've just been putting off the appt. with all the other stuff I've had going on but I'm finally going.  Hopefully it will make my eyes less tired and make me feel better too when I get new glasses.  I Hate having to wear them but I can no longer live with this vision either!

    Everyone have a Wonderful day!

    Good morning Circle Ladies.  Wow, I'm really late this morning.  Just enough time for the morning song.  I don't know what has gotten in to me sleeping so late.  Better yet,  what's up with my dog who used to get me up at dark thirty?!

    Surprise song of the day!

    Let's get up and get those feet jumping.

    Morning circle girls,

    Jaz-yep i will continue on with the same chemo for right now cause its working.  He hopes in about 9 weeks the places will be gone or at least shrunk all that they are going to shrink.  I personally prefer gone!

    Candie-thanks for the congrats!

    Barb-it doesnt matter if you type alot of not.  The main this is that you come here and hopefully it helps you.

    Angel-congrats on the eye appointment.  Glasses are expensive but it sure is nice when you get a new pair of them.

    Breezie-Glad to see you stopping back by.  I like your sense of humor and I'm like you on the VS model.  Not in this lifetime.  lol

    Shokk-so you model as a side job?  I would have never known that cause you keep that part of your life so private.  lol,,gotta tease you or you would worry about me.

    MB-hows work going lately?  Have you told the boss that you are doing pinkstock again?

    brb phone

    Good morning ladies. I'm beginning to recognize some of your names now but there's now way I'll ever be able to get you straight. You guys seem to know so much about each other. Some of you are bound to have to take notes, right? I'm starting to get more at home each day and I sure appreciate it and wish I'd started posting before I did instead of just reading. But I've jumped in now thanks to your kindness. I hope everyone has a nice day.

    Good afternoon, ladies.  Just popping in for a quick hello.  Jasmine, love that song of the day.  I honestly believe I could enjoy exercise if I had music like that to dance to or move to.  Breezie, I don't believe I have welcomed you here.  If I have, I claim chemo brain, and if I haven't then I do the same.  We are glad you are beginning to be more comfortable here.  My postings are so scattered I can barely keep up, but I am so glad to see Amy has good news!  It has been a long road dear lady, but you are braving the traverse well!

    ((Angel)), what pretty gossamer wings your angel has today.  (I hope I said and spelled that right).  They always make me smile.  I wish I had some new glasses, but just not in the budget right now. I am sure we all can relate to that.  My eyes and my teeth both have deteriorated since treatment.  And I do floss and brush!  Wonder if my bones are flaking like my teeth?

    Susan have enjoyed your roving reporter bits.  Quite entertaining.

    Gina did I read you aren't feeling well?  Hope all is better now.

    Sorry not to have mentioned all.  Just wanted to say hello since it has been awhile.  Love and hugs to all, Pam

    Good evening ladies

    Susan, I think it was MB that told me about the Knifty Knittet, so I got one, and actually made a scarf !!! I'm still working on the crocheting--I've got something going, but it's not a square !!!! More like an oval shape. But I'm still practicing.

    MB, how is your mom doing ?

    Candie, hows your crocheting going ?

    Charlene, good luck with your eye dr. appt.

    Jasmine, I love your songs everyday--thank-you

    Brenda, don't work too hard.

    I know I've missed a few, but you're all in my thoughts !!!



    Hugs

    YEAAAAA.....Barb is another Knifty Knitter!!!!  I love company!  You can do all sorts of things and stitches on them and to me it is much much easier on my wrist............not to mention my brain!!

    Shokk:  I talked briefly to anne...(armynavymom) Friday just to make sure she knew about the MI luncheon..........she isn't coming here right now, but she said all is well with her.  I hope one day she will stop in.  Yea.....nice chest shot that Nancy took!  We had a new lady with us and she was showing us these really nice lanyards she makes.............her main thing was to slip her 'swipe card' for chemo on it......not have to dig for it every treatment.....then she used them to hold her drains.......then we told her they would be great for the pesky ID badges so many have to wear to work.

    I'm not a fan of the pic that was posted..........I look like hell...........guess you all will just have to remember what a beauty I really am!

    Susan:  Vacumm................ppsshh.........ruin my reputation!  

    Gotta run....

    Nessie now I feel much better knowing the vaccuum is not an everyday thing. You had me worried.



    Barb I can handle the knoifty knitter and I say that because if I can anybody can.



    Breezie before long you will know us all. I am not a note taker but I think some do. I just try to wing it and from my post you can tell I don't do a great job.



    Madison sure hoping your daughter is doing well and hope you hear from her often.



    Hope everyone is having a great night.

    Angel, thanks for remembering about my scan, it's tomorrow at 8:40AM.  I did go back to the eye dr. today and he can't see the eye wiggle now and says my eyes look good. I completed a year long clinical trial w/tykerb in Jan. and if I was getting the real thing and not the placebo that could have been the cause of it since I've had other things resolving themselves since I stopped taking the medication. So, I feel better about things but  the brain scan still freaks me out though and hopefully there's nothing lurking.   How was your appt?  New glasses will make a big difference, I'm sure.

    Jasmine, great song for starting our day!

    Breezie, I'm glad you're enjoying posting.  You'll get to know everyone before you know it.  I don't take notes but I scroll back and forth.  If I had to rely on my memory, I'd be in trouble!

    HI...just finished another 9-9 day. Went to visit my cousin and she is doing ok. She doesn't like staying home...told her take up a hobby or something cause she's got about another 4-5 weeks to go.

    Jas, I "jumped" all day today...you really do pick great songs

    Charlene,always good to have nice new glasses

    Breezie,yep, I am a note taker. I wouldn't be able to remember much...lol

    Pam, always good to see a post from you. I know what you mean about teeth and eyes..gosh I sure hope the bones are staying intact!!No room in my budget either, can't see when either.

    Barb,mine doesn't look like a square yet...keeps getting bunched up...but I am determined!

    Neesie,where is the pic you are talking about

    Amy,you post great w/out notes.I just don't have the brain for it anymore..I wonder what happened to my brain? oh yeah, the chemo! What a fringe benefit!

    Pat, good luck with the scan. We'll all be there with you tomorrow.

    I have a onc appointment tomorrow. Routine. But always a lil anxious to hear blood work results. Just want him to say all is ok.

    Do you think you can all hop over by me after Pat has her scans...I"ll feel better knowing you are all with me....thanks.

    Have a good restful night.

    Hugs and prayers,

    Well I just lost my post and that Never happens to me! How frustrating! I use note pad but for some reason everything just stopped responding. Well let me try again ...

    Jasmine: Love your daily songs! How old is your dog? Maybe he/she wants to sleep in too! I hear you steer with your toes .. looks like a fun ride for tomorrow!

    Amy: I'm lucky to have my insurance pay $120 toward my glasses. I don't know if that's considered good but I was surprised when I found out!

    Breezie: I don't take notes myself .. I scroll up and down and use notepad to type my post, then copy and paste it in.

    ((Pam)): Thanks regarding the angel, I agree, her wings are so pretty! I hope you have a doctor monitering your bones. Have you had a dexa scan?

    Barb: Congratulations on making a scarf! That's much more than I can do since I don't knit yet.

    Neesie: Are you going to share those pics with us you're talking about?

    Pat: We'll be there holding your hand, even have a special ride to get you there! That's great news about your eye appt. It certainly sounds like you may have received the Tykerb doesn't it!? My eye appt. went very well thank you. No glaucoma, cateracts or anything else .. I can even hold off on the bifocals for awhile since I unfortunately don't have time to read these days anyway!

    Candie: Of course we'll pop on over to your onc appt. after Pat's scans. Good luck to you and let us know how it goes.

    BMD: Enjoy American Idol .. I already saw it since I'm 3 hours ahead of you!

    Goodnight to all and pleasant dreams

    Good morning Circle Ladies.  Rise and Shine!  Another week half over.  They are saying snow for us tomorrow.  Yahoo!  :(  I think we have some appointments and scans this morning.  I'll be think good thoughts for each of you.

    Angel -- they say that 40 is the magic age for bifocals.  Nothing you can do but just be glad you are around to complain about it.  But, you really need to see well to drive your beautiful girls around.  They have some really nice frames these days and you can get 'no line' bifocals so nobody has to know you have now become your mother.  :)  I used to wear the acuvue bifocal contacts and loved them but this last time my reading vision had deteriorated so that I can no longer use those.

    Hi Jasmine!  I was all prepared to get the bifocals actually and they told me that if I'm not reading a lot that I could bypass them.  I was looking at the no-line bifocals.  I know they are an adjustment.  Unfortunately I have No reading time, even though I love to do it.  When I'm ready for my next prescription I'll probably have some reading time back (when Ava is older) and will definitely want the bifocals!  LOL about becoming my mother!  I was just thinking of that the other day and remembering when she was my age how I thought that was old!!!

    Good morning everyone .. I'm on board to all the appointments today as well.  Be back later!
