OK....I have an appt. tomorrow with onco for another blood culture from the port site. 11 am. Out to the freezing butt cold I go tomorrow! Don't know if I'll find out anything, but when I do, I'll let you ladies all know.

Congrats Julie on being done! You sound very positive and energetic!
berrypatch-I hope the onc. can figure out what you need so you can feel better soon! I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. It will get better - as Wendy would say - keep your fists up!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......nuf said!
Just wanted to say two things...
Yay Jule!!!!!! And I do not blame you one iota for not doing anyting more right now....I so loved my last day at rads!
And.....LisaMed.....Happy One Year Anniversary!!!!!!! You did it, girl!!!!!!
Off to shower and then .... hopefully...warm up the car. Of all days I have a hair appt and she lives about 4 minutes away by car...so I have to leave early to charge up the battery before I turn it off at her house for a few hours. This weather sux. No school for the kiddies today tho...DH has to go but he said he had lots of paper to push so he doesn't mind.
I will check back later to "talk" to everyone....stay warm and indoors if possible. Susan, Blackjack....I bet no school for you too! Too cold for the kids, waiting on corners for buses.
Or is that "busses" like the TV stations keep putting up???????? Hmmmmmm........

Good morning everyone!
The area schools are also out today. That's two days in a row for them. We had about 5 inches of blowing snow yesterday and then the bitter cold conditions today. It sounds like a good "stay at home and write questions" day to me.
Jackie, did you get any snow at all from this last storm?
SusieSwan..loved your avatar! Congrats on your 5 year anniversary! I think you SHOULD go out and enjoy the evening (on a real date) with that gorgeous man in the picture.
Jule....YEA! No more chemo and no more rads! It's onward and upward now! So glad it's over for you.
Good luck today, Carol. Hopefully they will be able to help you. HUGS!
Smerf....always good to see posts from you! We have a lot of deer, too. I counted 10 does and one buck the other night. The buck was just following along behind them. My grandsons believe that they are Santa's reindeer. LOL
I am feeling lots better than I was a week ago at this time but the infection is still there. I have three more days of antibiotics. So far I haven't been able to use any of the saline washes to try to get rid of the drainage because my nose is so sore and it burns so much. I'm debating on if I need to go back in to the doctor. I want to have this over in two weeks so I can enjoy my time in Florida. The drainage causes me to cough every so often.......yuck!
Well, I think I need to get moving for the day. Everyone stay warm and travel safely.
Catch you later in the day.
Rita

Morning all!
Congrats Julie on finishing rads. I think you will be surprised at how quickly the burns heal. I know I was. Glad you are doing well.
I really don't mind snow - but this cold. I hate it! No school for my kiddos either. My son was actually upset as he had two tests today and we were studying for them last night. They have tomorrow and Monday off as well. Tomorrow was a scheduled teacher institute day. So, 5 day weekend for my kids.
Carol - hope they can figure something out as to why you continue to feel yucky. I was prone to low grade fevers during my chemo, but it was usually only for 2-3 days after treatment. Not the whole time.
Hope everyone else is staying warm and feeling good!

Mornin!!! Can't stay long....just here to say watch out for that cold. It's awful....but no snow here at all....yet. Hard to believe we only had that one very light dusting and it didn't even cover....just a patchy dusting. Incredible.
Anyway....I'll be thinking about all of you....our wind chill only makes it 16 below here so we are lucky. More tonight.

Hi, hi, hi~!~! I am back again~! How are you ladies?? it is COLD outside
I am doing a lot better now since they change the chemo medicines.. I am done with AC and now getting Taxol and Herceptin 'till next month so, no more vomting
But now I got muscle ache from Taxol... (it's better than vomiting) My mom is enjoying her grand kids and doing so much to help us that i am very grateful~! I need ask few things.. First, my red blood cell count is getting low since last week and my onco told me to eat more meat and I've been eating more meat but still low as 8.7 and they told me that if the level goes under 8.0, I need blood transfusion which I don't want it.. What I can do and eat to boost my hemoglobin level?? Second, back of my head feel so cold, chill, and getting headaches.. It doesn't matter what kind of hat I put it on, is this normal?? or because I lost my hair?? It's annoying~! and pain pill is not working very well, neither..
I hope everybody stays WARM~! and have great day~!~!

Hi everyone, just wanted to pop in tonight & say hi. I'm happy because I saw PS today, and I'm going to get bigger & higher profile implants, as well as the "hard spot" taken care of - so one more surgery on Feb 6th.
It's fffrrrreeeeezzzzing out there. Brrr!! Not much else to say about the weather today.
Hope everyone is keeping warm!! Hugs, Juliet

Evening all.....good to hear from you Elfsong and glad that you are no longer losing your food the WRONG way. I can't answer your medical questions. My oncologist had me give myself Nuepogen shots for five days after EVERY chemo treatment so never had a problem with my blood cell counts.....white or red. I'm assuming you need meat that has a higher level of protein???but really don't know. As well.....I haven't heard anyone else talk about a really cold head and headaches either. We all do react a bit differently to chemo. I would get something else to try for pain relief. It's probably not un-common to try one or more different things to address these issues because you are doing something out of the ordinary by killing off good and bad cells and weakening your body so much to rid yourself of the cancer. Things that might easily work in a normal situation may not touch this or may even who knows have an opposite effect.
Hi Juliet......Buster looks like he is enjoying his coat ---- oops, he may not be going out again huh !!!!! When I left for work this morning my car temperature gage said zero. By the time I got half way to work it was up to 1 degree.....I was going to celebrate but I was premature.....that was all the farther it got.....and 8 when I came home at 5 o'clock. This is pretty rotten if I do say so and I'll sure be glad for the week-end and the heat wave.
Got to go look for a quote. Hope you have all had a productive day ---- even if all you did was stay in and stay warm.....that's not a bad thing.

Hi Ladies,
Had a blood draw for culture and CBC today. All was good with the CBC, onco does not seem too concerned with low grade fevers several times a day. No fevers today though, just very tired and unfortunately, my appetite is coming back! It really sucked to have to go out today! Brrrrrr!
Elf Song - Good to hear from you! I think that the coldness you feel could be the low hemoglobin. I don't know what to tell you to eat other than red meat.
Rita - you said saline washes in your last post. Did you get a Neti Pot? When I mentioned them to you, I had seen them in Walgreens just that day as I was waiting for a prescription. Reading the back of the package, I thought that it looked pretty interesting. I was thinking of buying one, but didn't. Let me know if it works.
Tomorrow my SIL is coming over to help me work on the sewing room. She quilts too. Since I have not been sewing it has become a "dump spot" for any and everything. Perhaps if my studio is neat and organized with all of the crap out of it, maybe I can sew. Tried to start with little bits at a time, but 4 days in the hospital got me off track. You guys must be so tired of me whining about sewing, but it really used to be my life, and now...
Have a good evening everyone! Carol
0 -
And Carol...to continue your own thought...clean uo that sewing room and make it be your LAB. I write and my writing room becomes a dumping ground for all sorts of things that do not help me to write. With the help of your SIL, reclaim that studio. You can sew again and you can do so better when it is neat and organized and READY!

A big oops from me everyone.....forgot to tell you that at long last I finally got the mammogram report. Good and iffy news. Good news is no sign of cancer, but the iffy news is that I have a lg. growth on the rt. side that looks VERY benign. They may send me to Dr. Ryan for a consult anyway, but I am very un-concerned in that it appears to obliviously be nothing at this point. I will however make myself available should it be determined that Dr. Ryan check it out herself.
The nurse who called me apologized profusely for my long wait. She I think was more upset than I was but I was so relieved at the news I was not able to hang onto my irritated feelings about having been left so long w/o answers. I don't recall ever having to wait so I think it was just one of those mixed up things that usually don't happen.....but everything fell into place and it did this time. As long as I know I'm basically fine I can leave it go though the nurse told me if I had not heard in a week in regard to Dr. Ryan I was to call her back.
So that's my story.......I never really expected to have anything go on, but was getting upset that I could not move on out of that 'waiting' spot I was in until those results were passed on to me.
See you tomorrow.
Jackie

Me again!
My older DD who lives in VT just called me to tell me that she and her fiance have set the date...FINALLY!!! They have been engaged since 8/8/08, the 8th anniversary of the day they met.
9/4/10. I will be so well and so healthy by then, and cancer will be just a bad memory! Something to really look forward to!

Well girls...it's official...I checked the memory on my little weather station and it's never been -15 before, in the last 4 years of having this device. Thank goodness the high tomorrow will be a whopping 22!Good news! BIL finally had his ablation for his SVT's...they did find 2 pathways for the arrhythmias instead of the one they thought, and they did see some A fib (they thnk the procedure caused this) and his heart rate now is too low, so maybe a pacemaker in his future BUT....he sailed thru and should go home today. Took 6 hours tho....
Elfsong....I ate meat every other day but I still ended up having procrit injections to boost my RBC's...did you ask re: this? ....I am glad however that you are feeling a bit better and have moved past the vomiting. I know a lot of ladies here felt sooooo much better on Taxol...even their hair started coming back so keep checking that pretty head of yours!
Carol...Susan gave you great advice...once you get organized I bet the inspiration will come flooding back. And congrats on your DD's wedding.....you are so right! You will be long past this by then!
Blackjack, Susan.....they called off school last night. They really didn't want to do this but it's just too dang cold to leave little kids on corners, waiting for the bus. I take it you guys are off as well. Of course that means days added on in June...but DH has to work those days anyway so he doesn't care.
Jackie...GOOD NEWS! B9 is great...but what the heck is it? Wasn't there 6 months ago, correct?
Juliet....ooooooh! Bigger, higher boobs! I don't need bigger ones, but lifting them out of my waistband would be nice....
WendyTY....how are you doing?
Rita...how's that nose? You are at the end of the med, right?
Connie....I bet St Thomas is looking REALLY GOOD this morning!
Blackjack....you sounded stuffy the other day...did a cold materialize? I know your closet turned out great...have you been able to get out and shop to fill it? LOL !!!!!
Laura....how's that snowblower? I hear some snow will be coming our way tomorrow, but I missed how much....
Time for my 2nd cup...I am not venturing out today. Well...I don't think so. I drove the Z for an hour yesterday and I had the SUV out twice....and all I have been hearing this am on ch 9 is the number of spinouts due to the glaze on the streets. So you guys who have to go out, please be careful and test stopping BEFORE you have to stop. I slid thru a stop sign myself yesterday with the Z on my block but I steered into a snow bank and there weren't any cars coming,
Have a great day.....fists up...but my top will stay up too!
Hey....where's Karin????? Are you OK??????? Please check in.....

The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.
-- Arthur C. ClarkeMornin!!! and I thought we needed something with a little humor this morning with all that cold air out there. I'm so thankful this a.m. that everyone in the plane that went down in the Hudson River/New York made it out safe. Felt like doing a little jig in the middle of the living room floor. You know how good you feel when you hear something positive and then discover you were all tense and actually holding your breath for fear it would not be.
I guess about the way I felt about my mammo report. Not sure what you were asking Wendy but my original tumor was on the left......the benign growth is on the right. Funny thing though.....it is not the one they biopsied.....at the same time they did the left biopsy that found my cancer. Do I have everyone really confused now. Before my lumpectomy I had a biopsy done on both sides with the right turning out fine but the left showing papillary cancer.
At time of surgery Dr. Ryan lifted out a bruise that had been on my left side breast as well for some time. Underneath the bruise a ways lo and behold was a second un-known until then cancer with was a much larger ductal cancer.
It now appears that on the opposite side of the area they biopsied in 2007 is a large 5 centimeter benign tumor. They mentioned it and left it up to my primary what she might want to do but stressed that it is very benign appearing.
Ok.....I probably didn't clear up anything......but I'm fine as frog hair split down the middle and no worries. Hooray-Hooray.
Got to go to work so I'll be back later.

Jule - Congrats! You're a RAD GRAD! Carol - You'll be there b/4 you know it... just in time for summer. Glad your cbc results came back normal. Good luck w/your sewing room. You'll feel great once you two whip it into shape. Congrats...best wishes to DD and future SIL.
Rita - Hope you're feeling better. I just know you will be all better for FL.
elf song - I had low red blood cell counts during Taxol too. I got two injections (a week apart) of ARANESP. Had no side effects and it worked like a charm! I have never heard of anyone complain about the head coldness...sorry, can't help you there, perhaps the ARANESP would help that too?. Hang in there! Your Mom is an angel.
Jackie - SO HAPPY for you and that you finally got the results...the wait is always scary. I love yesterday's quote. Thanks!
Juliet - Wishing you luck with your LAST surgery! Just in time for swimsuit season!
Wendrew - My little weather station says minus 22! WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHH - it's chilly out there! Snow blower is all fixed, got the replacement part finally. I have to brag...dh is always fantastic at fixing things right away and the correct way. He posses a weird but awesome combo of talents - Mr. Fix It/MBA in Finance and Economics...I'm a lucky girl!
------------------------------------------------
Yesterday - I experienced the most harrowing day of life! Bro and I headed out to Western Univ at 6:30 in the morning in my suv to pack up nieces dorm room (didn't want him to have to go alone). We had no choice...it was the last day or they would charge her $$$ for another semester in the dorm. The ride there wasn't too bad... although we saw several cars and semi's in ditches and there were some patches of ice scattered throughout the almost 5 hour - 260 mile journey. We finally got there, got on the elevator to go to her room. IT WOULDN'T move and the doors wouldn't open...I FREAKED - I have claustrophobia...tried every frickin button on the panel. Had to then press the big red HELP button. School's still out ... the dorm tower was literally like a ghost town...thought for sure we'd be stuck a LONG, LONG time. But a guy finally answered our "call" for help and told us we had to use the dorm room key to release the elevator (security)...it worked. MAN - I was relieved. THEN... we get into her room - OMG...we looked around in disbelief - there was 5 times the amount of "stuff" than we expected. It took us almost 3 hours to pack it all, haul it down, load it into the suv while freezing our butts off, go back up, and do it all over again - 5 frickin times. Unbelievable. Bath products, clothing, bedding, laundry soap, note books, paper, coffee maker, books. books. books, iron, safe, stuffed animals, dvd player, every dvd imagineable, a CHRISTMAS TREE, etc...no kidding. The suv was so full...we could not have fit a single paper clip in it. The ride back was horrendous! It got dark, and the roads were very icy. We took a wrong turn (thanks mapquest) and went about 17 miles out of our way. Got to Rockford...construction everywhere, dimly lit, cement dividers, narrow lanes...signs were very hard to read as they were covered with caked on old black snow. Got home about 7:45 last night - wanted to kiss my driveway floor - bro warmed up his car and had to continue the journey to his pad in Chicago. Tomorrow I will drive my suv over to dear niece's to be unloaded - you better believe I am NOT unloading it! lol
Gonna bundle up to go feed the birds...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Keep warm and safe!

Good morning gals!
Jackie....so glad that your report was good. It's too bad that it took that long and you had the mix up on getting the results to you. I guess I'm still a little confused about this large 5 cm. tumor. Does it just appear to be benign or have they actually biopsied this tumor and know for sure that it's benign? Maybe I'm not thinking clearly yet. I'm still drinking my morning coffee. It's taking a while for it to kick in today.
Laura, glad that you got to Macomb and got everything back to your area safely. I would have freaked in that elevator!!!! I'm very claustrophobic!
It's cold out there today and I'm worried about my outside fur babies. They both came to eat this morning and I warmed them up a little milk to go with their usual food. They didn't stay long after they ate so hopefully they've found a nice warm protective place somewhere.
Wendy, I am down to the last of my antibiotics. I have enough for today and tomorrow. I am still not over this and can't get the drainage to stop so I end up clearing my throat continuously and then coughing. I do feel LOTS better than I did last week at this time. If I still have it, I am going to try to get in early next week and see what else they can do for me.
Elfsong.....I ate lots of steak. It is very high in protein and I really think that it helped. I am so glad that you are finished with that terrible AC and that your mom has been able to stay and help you.
Well, I do have to go into town today to buy a birthday card for a friend. We're celebrating his birthday tonight and I need that "just right" card so I'd better get moving, I guess.
Stay warm everyone and travel safely.
Rita

Morning all! Man is it cold! One more week until sunny St. Thomas!
Elfsong - so glad you are feeling better. I also had low blood counts and got the aranesp shot a few times. Yes, Taxol was much better than AC, but I do remember those muscle/bone aches. My doc prescribed Vicodin for me, but honestly it didn't even help very much. I just had to suffer through those 3 days after treatment. I remember not sleeping much at all for a night or two after each treatment. Not sure about the cold head. Good luck!
Laura - wow what an adventure. College kids have no clue how much stuff they accumulate!
Glad you are feeling better, Rita. Hopefully the next two days on antibiotics will do the trick. What a nasty bug!
Jackie - glad you received your results finally and that it was mostly good news. You should get the other mass checked out.
Wendy - glad your BIL is doing well.
Carol - great news on the engagement. You will have the time of your life at the wedding!
Juliet - glad you are getting some adjustments from the PS. I guess you will be going from poopyland to boobyland. Lol. I am not happy with my one implant either - it is smaller than my real side. My PS said that it is because of the radiation but he said we could wait and see about putting a bigger implant in. I don't go back until March so we shall see.
Stay warm!!

Hi all:
I did a whole post and then it vanished! It didn't actually vanish. I just messed up somehow.
Rita, that bug is terrible. I was still sickish when I completed the antibiotic. Now I am better.
I had the bone density scan after two years of arimidex and I have happy bones! Yahoo! I am still waiting on the thyroid but that should be okay. I am so glad I am with this Lance Armstrong LIVESTRONG group as they remind you of all this stuff. I would have had no idea to do this. I probably was told at one point, but you all know how things get lost in the shuffle. They actually e-mail me!
Jackie, I am glad you got word. Can you just get the right biopsied so that you can be 100% certain? Maybe they can look at an xray and just know it is benign. I have no idea.
Laura, that sounds like a very hard day at the dormitory and on the highway. You are a wonderfu sister and I am sure your brother loves you very much.
We are definitely in school. I am glad as I hate adding on the days at the end of the year, especially since I am retiring after the end of this one. They are interviewing for the job and I feel odd. I am not a part of the interviewing as I will not be on the team next year. I am beginning to undertsand the word "obsolete" but I am okay with it. Time to move on to another place. Of all things, an Islamic School called and asked me to teach one class of English Literature next year! I want to have lots of time with no commitments so I can determine my path.
Well, take care and try to stay warm!
Susan

Susan...so good to hear that your bones are O.K. after the time on the Arimidex. I, too, worry about that!
As for being "obsolete".....that's ridiculous! And if retirement means "obsolete" I have a rather different feeling about that word now! LOL See? Already people are searching you out! You will have PLENTY to do once you officially retire! You'll wonder how you actually had time to work! LOL
I'm so glad that you got involved in the Lance Armstrong LIVESTRONG group.

Thanks for all your good wishes. I'm just catching up on posts. Resting comfortably at home. It seems like a good place to be during this cold spell. Had my third Herceptin treatment today. Everything went well. I'm hoping for minimal se's this time around.
Not a good time to be low on the hair! I thought my ears were going to fall off this morning. Someone...anyone...please send us some warm weather!
Wendy, & Michele - How did your appts go?
Connie - Good to hear that your tests came out fine. It's nice to have overprotective doctors! Can you pack me in your bag?!
Jan - What a horrible accident. I glad your husband is okay.
Kater - Is this a new lump or are you talking about the past?!
Susan - Hope you are feeling better.
Rita - Finished my third book. Thank you so much! I don't know how I would have made it through the last couple of days without them. How are you feeling? Meds working okay? I was going to call to see if you were still alive. Then I saw you just posted a few minutes ago.
JulieB - So sorry for your loss.
Carol - Glad to hear that you are out of the hospital. Hopefully the road will be a little smoother. Great news on the wedding. It should give you something fun to plan!
Rene - Black ice is sure scary. I remember going off 55 into the ditch once on my way home from Chicago. I remember pinching myself to see if I was still alive. Then thinking...I must be the music is still playing.
Susie - Happy 5 year anniversary. Have a nice celebration!
Jule - Congratulations on finishing your radiation!
Elf_Song - Congrats on being done with AC. The next round should be kinder. I always ate a big steak the night before treatment. I hated stuffing all that red meat down. But it seems to help. You might want to check with your onco about seeing a nutritionist.
Juliet, Glad your ps appt went well. I can't believe you have to have another surgery. At least you are getting good at it! I hope you get great results this time.
Jackie - Happy to hear that you finally got your results. Keep us posted on the next steps. You have way more patience than me.
A special hi to everyone not listed. Hope you all are doing well. If your reading and it's been a while...at least say hi.
Have a good weekend!

Hey All, I got this in an email. I thought it fit the mood over the last couple of days. Enjoy!
It's winter in Illinois
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.
Oh, how I love Illinois
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderfulSo I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Illinois
I'm frozen to the freakin'' ground!0 -
Hi all- just a quick note to say that my onc. visit was uneventful - yeah! Had a blood test-CBC was good, thryoid-waiting for results
However, I do have a question, which I may have asked before: my onc doesn't do routine ct scans (looking for possible mets?), which I don't believe any of you get them either. My sister's onc (she had melanoma-so she gets scans I think every 6 months) told her that she would regularly do a scan on a breast cancer patient. Makes me wonder, am I doing enough? Let me know your thoughts. Is is just a matter of preference for the doctor?
0 -
Hello~! Ladies~! Thanks for all the info.. I had steak past three nights.. guess I gotta eat more steaks.. I thought about nutritionist too, like Wendy mentioned.. I will ask my onco about the injections too..
Still cold outside.. stay warm.. hot coco sounds good
Have a good weekend everybody~!

Ah....nice to have so much claustrophobic company....I thought I was one of a very few. Not sure if it would have been the fact of the claustrophobia or as much the fact of feeling totally trapped . Anyway Laura....wow. I can see this had to be all kinds of super relief when you finally got back home. You are wonderful to help your brother and niece but then you are a throughly wonderful person.....so many of you ladies are.
Good news Mich...So glad that your testing was all positive. In regard to your question....if scans are not done....is there some other test that might be used first.....which might then indicate that maybe a scan is needed. See, I'm confused....how would anyone know they had mets ????
Susan, I have had a couple of posts that left and went somewhere......I think I previewed them but then forgot to hit the submit button which would have kept them on the page. Every now and then for some reason I just flake out and the things I do automatically I forget to do......then a day or two later I get "normal" again.
At Carbondale --- actually in Dr. Ryan's office they do digital mammography and this is I think why they felt pretty certain that the tumor/water cyst or whatever was benign. I think too...there are certain characteristics that a cancer tumor would show that won't be evident in a benign one ---like irregular edges etc....I read up on it once....but for now I am willing to take their word. After all.....I just had 6 months of chemo ---- and if anything could grow during all of that. Anyway, as well last mammo was just the left lumpectomy side....this time around was both sides....so that is why it's showing up now, and didn't 6 months ago.
Well, it's late.....went to help a friend in town tonight and home late...it's nearly 10:30 and very soon I probably won't be making sense. I'll see you all in the morning.

Morning! Wow....it's a whole 12 outside! Wow!
WendyTY...LOVED that poem! I copied it and will send it further....Yep and I remember the cold head from 2 years ago. That's why I loved the wigs...they were really warm. I am so sorry Herceptin is giving you a problem....except for the drippy nose I was fine. Even stopped the benadryl.
Connie/Juliet....from "poopyland" to "boobyland"????? OK...that's just toooooo funny! Juliet...that comment from Connie has to make you laugh!
Mich101...my onc does not do routine scans unless you had positive nodes or you present with a symptom. So for me...no scans. But every doc is different.
Laura...did you get everything done yesterday? You must be sore! And you do have a great hubby...he even cooks!!!!
Susan...YAY for good bones! I will get my bone density testing at the 2 year mark as well BUT Delnor Hosp. is offering a free heal scan for osteo on March 13th in the Health and Wellness Center so I asked my onc and he said "go for it"! If anyone else would like to have this done...I can get you the number before all the slots are filled. Free is Free!
Carol...how did the sewing room come out? I went thru 3 closets, one left. Next week I will organize. Can't believe the clothes I found, with the tags still on! Next time I want to go shopping, I will start at home.
BIL is home from the hosp and feeling wonderful and is off all meds now. Whew!
Not much going on around here this weekend...I did look to see what movies were out but nothing sounds appealing so reading will be good...which means a trip to the library which I love anyway. Maybe a book on organizing closets!!!!!
Have a great one, girls!

Good Saturday Morn.
Our heat wave starts today and actually I could feel the difference when we were outside feeding the animals. I only had my pj's and robe and some gloves and was surprised. Would have dressed a bit more but got up late and did not want to make anyone wait for breakfast.....I'm such a pushover. Dh would have ignored them till after the first cup and a half of coffee and I can't enjoy it knowing they are waiting. Looking forward to the week-end. No special reason. I of course, always say that it is because I welcome sleeping in --- but oh how often I don't. I think it's just one of those psycholigical signals to me that I have time to RELAX --- maybe even make a plan or two about something I would like to accomplish.......
Dh goes in late today and works tomorrow.....hmmm, no movie matinee for us. There are a couple coming up that we thought we might like.....
Sales are going good at Sears. Dh says his customers are saying the last few days the electronics ( t.v.'s mostly ) are less at Sears than Wal-Marts. Obviously Sears is definitely out to sell......the other thing is....Sears price matches so if they want to get the drop on anyone they would have to cut from the get-go.
Well, real exiting post.....hope you all are going to enjoy the week-end....and I hope our little heat wave extends out....way out.
I'll be checking back in later.

Hey Wendy....I loved your poem, but it still doesn't make me like Illinois winters any better! I have another book for you...a Sandra Brown book that you just have to read. When you get done with your current book, let me know and I'll bring this down. This is one I want back, though because I haven't passed it Mary Jane or to Nancy yet. It's better than ANY of the books in the box!
Brrr.......cold and windy out there today! Dave is outside trying to figure out why the heater in his truck is not blowing any air. When we got ready to go eat last night, he went out ahead of time to warm up the truck (which is easier to get down the lane this time of year) and when we went out to get in............Freezing...........no heater. Needless to say, we didn't take the truck! Now he's got to get the problem solved quickly. I think that's the project here today!
I'm off to sort the mail that's been sitting on the dining room table for a week. Stay warm gals. I'll drop in later.
