Good evening girls...hope you all have a wonderful weekend. The sun was hot today up at the lake. Went boating all day today so now I am really tired. Jackie I love your inspiration / wisdom thoughts today. Yes, I do agree that we all have some spiritual wisdom deep down inside us. Just that some of us like you share it with us. Thank you for your great insight on life. I hope you don't get to much rain down by you.
Susan..play dates and wine how fun is that. glad you had a great time. looks like retirement is really agreeing with you.
elfsong..good to hear from you. I hope all is well with your sick dh and kids. tell them you need the rest lol
Christie...hope you are feeling better soon.
donna..glad to see that you are out walking your babies. I have only one lab and he is a handful lol
Wendy..ready for the beach and ocean..can I come too. I am your beach bud remember that lol

Morning! Cool and cloudy on the old deck this am....sun will be shining shortly...
Elfsong....good to hear from you again but I didn't mean that there was something wrong with your eyes, maybe just that you need glasses for distance (or for reading)! Hope your family (and you) get well quickly.
Susan....sounds like quite the night! You and your DH always seem to be on the go, enjoying life! Retirement for the two of you should be wonderful! When does DH retire?
Christi....Dry, straight hair was my indication that it was "time", I refused to shave mine off tho as the way I looked at it, everyone told me to do that and I wanted to be in control. It came out in the shower over 3 mornings.
Blackjack...yep, can't wait for that plane on Thursday. Now I just have to hope that the weather in Fl gets a bit drier! I can't post here with the iPhone but if I see the cute cabana boys from last summer, I will email the pics to you!
Jackie...see? Even Elfsong agrees with me! "Chicken Soup for the Breast Cancer Soul"!!!! You could work with Susan....
Donna....how are you feeling? Better and better I hope......and how's the fuzz? Ae you wearing braids yet??? Didn't mean to laugh but....navy blue eyebrows ARE funny! Walgreens and ULTA have little cheapie eyebrow kits with little stencils if you are brow pencil challenged. I never lost all of mine at the same time so at least I had somewhat of a guide as to where to put the pencil. OR....just cut some wispy bangs into your wig to hide the brow area. Worked quite well!
Laura....Ari is soooo cute! Give her a cuddle for us! How's Syd healing up?
Everybody else....hope things are going well for you. I am off to shower, then to the gym, then to the grocery store, then home to clean house....yada, yada, yada.

Hope is the companion of power and the mother of success,
For those of us who hope strongest have within us the gift of miracles.

Wendy... You still have to tell me your opinion of the Harpers Island finally. Did you like it?
Elfsong... My next treatment is Friday. I know you will understand, "Just when I feel good, it's time to do it again." But then I'll have 3 done and only one more to go. Can't wait, and I'll be done and hopefully starting to feel good before school starts up.
Christi... Hope you are feeling okay. I had mouthsores and they gave me that "magic mouthwash" too. Took a couple of days but helped and at least I could eat.

Good morning everyone Lovely outside with sun though it is still wet every where due to the rain yesterday afternoon. On and on it goes.....Well, at least I can say we are having good rain in July which often does not happen around here. Hope humidity stays ok and then I will really be happy.
Mamaq....wondering if your friend wanted the second picture. If it were me....I'd have done that anyway....in fact, would probably do several if possible. I re-read some of the entries here and just dropped into a strange sort of despair. I am not truly afraid of death -- lost the fear a long time time ago and see it more as a transition that I have prepared for through many lives --- but I would have different feelings if my children were not raised and doing well.
I have had a lovely total week-end off. Have done very little --- just kept up with things but no in-roads into all the projects that are going here....took a break from all of it. This afternoon....hmmm, drat, I'll have to get back in the saddle. Still idle hands being the devil's workshop and all, I"m sure it's time.
Hope you are going to escape rain for the day.....and that you have a great one. I'll be checking back later as I most always do.
Hugs, Jackie

Christi - Hang in there. Most girls do buzz their hair. I did... when there was huge clumps of hair everywhere in my house... that's when I high tailed over to the salon. Good luck with chemo number 2. I hope your mouth heals quickly. I didn't get sores, but I got Thrush several times. Yuck!
Elf - Thanks! And yes, she is a sleeping beauty.Hope dh is better soon. Don't forget to try to keep August 1st open for JanC's get together.
Jackie - That link WAS AMAZING... but am I the only one who had to close their eyes while listening to it? When they were open, it didn't sound like rain, but when I closed them I envisioned a rain forest and it worked. Does that mean I am overly literal - I've often thought that I really am!? lol
Donna - I was LMAO at the story about your mom with blue brows. OMG - TOO FUNNY! I was also worried about the brows, so I bought a wig that had long bangs. Best wishes to you. Wendy - Syd is still sore...but she said it's less every day.
-------------------------------------------------
Hope you're all having a great Monday! The weather is perfect here!

Okay, I know we have some Jodi Picoult readers here. I am NOT recommending that you see "My Sister's Keeper" as it is the saddest movie I have ever seen. It is about a young girl who dies of cancer, and the movie has so little to do with Picoult's version. My teacher girlfriends decided to do a movie and lunch together rather than book club today. Imagine the whole last row of a theater with about 15 teachers of all ages (a box of Kleenex for every three). sniffling through this movie at 2:00 pm when it was knock down gorgeous outside. We read the book in book club, recognized it to be unrealistic, yet liked her writing and the twist at end. It may be a good movie and if one of you saw it and liked it, please chime in. I just found it overwhelmingly sad.
Laura, I swear that baby looks like you. There is a strong family resemblance.

Hi everyone.....I have read Jodi Picoult but not " My Sister's Keeper ", however I am inclined to see sadness in any sad movie and would probably lose myself so much in it.....that the author would become less important......even if at some point I was annoyed that liberty was taken with her ( Jodi's story ), I would get too deep into the story line no matter how it was presented.
Laura....you are I think for the most part a literal type person. I am glad you got to hear the rain no matter how you got there. I usually enjoy any performance that is a cappello. I just feel that it is quite an artistic endeavor. I heard the rain with my eyes wide open....and not only did I find it stunning.....but I had sensations that these people got more joyful the farther into the music they got. We seem so often to receive joy while we are giving it and if the audience there felt even half of what I was feeling watching over the Internet.....the musicians sensed this and became happier knowing people were having such a positive, up-lifting experience.
I felt this way the one time I was able to go see Zamfir at a musical theater in Santa Barbara, Ca. Easy as we lived in Santa Barbara then. For those who may have never heard Zamfir.--- he plays Pan Flute. Pan flutes are wooden....and so great is Zamfir's talent that he carves and builds his own flutes and has extra notes in them. To me....his sound is not totally of this world and carries me to wonderful places all while I am in a whole room or theater full of people. It is old but he had an album called "Romance of the Pan Flute" and I could listen to that and each time felt like it was the first time. I know many, many people loved this music so it was not just I who became carried away to some distance place with the nearly mystical clear tones he so easily produced with his flutes.
I tend to lay my heart bare with my feeling for and about things -- perhaps open myself to ridicule for my esoteric descriptions. It is what I feel and not saying so to me would be a mild form of dishonesty.
Christi.....hmm, I had yucky hair after a bit too. Seemed a mixture of dry and dirty too...guess because it was dying ( certainly far from healthy ) and it just felt sort of horrible all over more than anyplace else. Since it was coming out in patches anyhow....and each hair follicle that remained was still hurting, I went to the local beauty school and had it shaved off. Sweet people that they were....they told me no charge. Usual fee for hair wash and cut is $5.00. I gave it to the girl who shaved my head as a tip. Kept thinking.....this may be a little hard for her to do....because all the while she knows why I'm doing it. I felt bad about it---she just might too. I was not as devastated as I thought I would be.....but it did make a quick believer out of me....my new look which I knew right away was not a good look. Oddly some people do not look too bad ( make-up and earrings and things make quite a difference ) but I was just down right ugly. No amt. of make-up or earrings was going to fix it either. Scarves were my friends immediately and later found a wig I really liked....and life went on because it will. I have all kinds of bad hair days now and I love every one.
Hope you all had a wonderful evening.
Jackie

Hey Christi - I had mouth sores as well. Well, mine were actually throat sores. It became very difficult for me to eat so I had a lot of popsicles and lemon ices. I hope yours don't get too bad. One good thing - I did lose 10 lbs because I couldn't eat like normal. I also waited until the last minute to buzz my hair. I had an appt at the wig shop for a buzz, but my hair wasn't coming out yet, so I changed the appt until the next week. The next week it started coming out and by appt day I had a huge bald spot so I reluctantly went for it. That was very hard for me. Some find it easier to be in control and shave it, but it was very tough for me. Hugs to you.
Susan - I read Jodi and was planning on going to My Sister's Keeper with my girlfriend this week. We both read the book and wanted to see the movie. I'm not sure if we will make it as now my DH is sick so not sure if I will get out this week. I did hear that they changed the ending. I'm a sucker for sad movies so I will let you know what I think. If not this week, then next... I just finished Change of Heart this weekend.
Have a great day everyone!

Morning all! I was actually chilly on my way to the gym...I could have used a jacket!
Jo....re: Harpers Island...The way these things go, you had to figure it was going to end something like that but I stll didn't much care for it. Poor Trish! Yuck.
Susan/Connie....I too read Jodi's book and I loved it, especially the twist at the end but I too hear that they changed the ending! Well...that little (LITTLE????) twist at the end for me made the whole book! I will wait for the moive to come out on "free" cable.
Hair, hair, hair....boy do I remember the day it started coming out. I had to go to Jewel and I started crying in the check-out line in front of a few of the gals. I still see them all the time and they've given me lots of hugs, and pink ribbon items and they actually remember my "cancerversay". It was such a hard day as I kept thinking and hoping that maybe, just maybe...I would be the one whose hair didn't fall out. Maybe that's why I refused to buzz it off. I just couldn't make myself. I know that the hair loss is doable, it does grow back but that doesn't help much when it's you that's bald. Like Jackie says....we just have to push thru so we can get on the other side.
Lots to do today, including mowing and starting to pack for vacay...I'll check back later, gators!

Connie and Wendy, I am excited to hear what you think of the movie. Connie, bring a bushel basket of tissues. I am actually not a cryer at movies, but this was the SADDEST movie. The movie added characters that were not in the book. They gave the mom (Sarah) a sister and we were wondering why. Tuck that away and let me know if you have any idea why they put in the extra characters. I read "Change of Heart" with this same little group of readers and I like it. Strange book! Have a good day!

EYELASHES... OMG - I was in Walgreens, picking up a Thrush prescription, when my eyelashes decided to fall out! I was wondering around the store, killing time, waiting for my prescription to be filled. All of a sudden, I felt "things" in both eyes... it was like walking into a sand storm... My eyes were watering and itching and I could barely keep them open without having slight pain but lots of scratchy irritation. I "felt" my way through the aisles to the mirror section. It was quite traumatic. I picked up a mirror and plucked the eyelashes out of my eyes. I'll never forget that day! lol
Next week will be the 4 year (2005) cancer-versary of the date of my diagnosis. Eeeeeew!

Yea Laura.......congrats on the four years! Wow! That's super and that little girl is very precious. Thanks for sharing that picture.
Susan, I have also read "My Sister's Keeper" and have been debating on if I want to see the movie or not. I can't believe they've changed the ending. The ending twist was what made the book so sensational. I have also read "Change of Heart" and it wasn't one of my favorite Picoult books. I found it lots "wordier" than the others and just didn't get too excited about it. I still finished it, though. I never start a book that I don't eventually finish, even if I'm not fond of the book.
Remember my cousin who reunited with me on bc.org about a year ago? She saw my picture and sent me a PM asking if I might be her cousin (who she hadn't seen since high school years). Well, she was in Rock Island yesterday visiting her folks (my aunt and uncle) and I had the chance to go up and have lunch with them. What a great reunion! I will try to post a few pictures later....you know how I am with pictures! It's funny how we can "pick right up" with somebody after many years and of course now we also have the bc in common.
Hopefully we will get the Golf 4 the Cure in tomorrow with no rain. Think clear skies, gals!
Wendy, it won't be long and you'll be enjoying some time away! Super!!!
Blackjack, it sounds like you are starting to get "hooked on golf!" You will get better each time that you go out on the course and most of the courses are so beautiful! We don't always have a beer cart on our course....just usually on really hot weekend days and for special events. It's very possible that one might do better after a few beers, though. You'd be a lot looser! LOL
Well, I hope everyone is enjoying this nice day. I have some things I need to do before yoga tonight. Hugs to all of you!

Hi Illinois ladies!!!!!
I am going to be in Chicago on July 26th, and stay there until that Thursday. Daniel is doing therapy camp at the Rehab Institute for two weeks. I can't stay there the prior week because I had also agreed to do VBC at church, and I am completely fretting about the horrible drive every morning.
Anyhow-anyone want to try to get together while I'm in the city? (whispers....pleasesayyespleasesayyes!!!)

If I recall, the rehab is in downton Chicago. Is that correct? There are rehabs in the burbs, but I am presuming your son is doing the main one. If that is correct, I can meet with you. Navy Pier is fun for lunch and talk if downown is the destination. I am a grandmother with BC; and you may need a mom with BC; so if anyone here in Illinois can join us...jump in!

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I am not pleased with my PS and still have an exchange surgery to go. Not sure what will transpire but will let you know as I find out more. I would just like to be done with it all.

Morning ALL...
Laura.. Congrad's on your anniversary.. do you still feel the time of what you went thru.. i just wonder as it all is so raw in recalling surgery and the aftermath. Would imagine TIME heals alot!
Wendy...have a great trip!!!i will handle the laundry..ok?
Jackie.. Great affirmations!!!
Susan..Read TheSisters Keeper like 3 years ago and does not sound it did as well in the ending as it did in the book. Sometimes the movies are not as good as what is read!!!!
Christi..hope the mouth sores are goin ok. I" know some of the se's are disruptive and causes a bit more attention, but somehow it passes and you can get to the next tx and know that pushinbg forward is all we can do to get thru it all.!
No hair yet.. no braids like Wendy says would come..lolol.
Hope 4 Cure...have a great PS in Lagrange for my bil mx he did without expanders and has perfected his procedure without using expanders. HAVE had only one surgery and done. Any questions, email me a PM. Feel for you!!!!
Enjoy the sound of the rain and getting all our gardens watered!!!
Tomm is my D:H and my 16th wedding anniversary!!!
Be well and Healthy Thoughts too all.

Jennifer....Hate hearing that you are having some difficulty with PS. Glad Donna can be a resource. Honestly, since I only had lumpectomy, I can't relate too well to your problems but even at that it just sounds so wearing and tedious. Just having Bc seems overwhelming and to have all the other burdens thrown in the mix.......I just see it as a lot more difficult to be bright and cheery and hang onto a good attitude.
Speaking of that...Buddy...how are things with you. You too have had a rocky path with things. Hope you are relaxing and just taking a small break.
Donna.....you sound pretty good now as you wait for your braids. Isn't it great when you are able to start feeling a sense of freedom that is stable after that last chemo. How is your energy level ??? Can't recall, are you going to have radiation too?? This is my normal brain by he way. I thought about blaming it on my chemo but I have always had difficulty remembering things...so much so that the notes I write myself often get lost until I find them way later when they are then useless..SIGH.
Sorry about the size increase and color. Another brain thing I think. Sounds like most of Illinois will get some rain today. Wow!!!! Just hard to believe what this year has been so far. Cool, rainy spring, then blistering heat and humidity, then more rain and coolness -- and most of it before July. Three years ago we did not even turn our air-conditioner on until the end of the first week in Aug. Just amazing. This keeps up the non-changing climate of California that I was glad to leave is going to start looking better again.
Hope you will all have a good day today.
Hugs, Jackie

Morning all! Cloudy and humid!!!! But there's a breeze. Just sitting here, laughing my butt off...went downstairs last night to get the suitcases and.....huge puddle under the hot water heater. Of course! Amy Plumbing is here now, replacing it. And of course....the builder who built this spec house actually upgraded something, and of course, it was the hot water heater. So the replacement is much more expensive. AND...the friend of a friend who put in the humidifier did not do it to code so we ae fixing that AND...the builder did not ground the supply lines on the heater so doing that as well. Expensive! Oh well....what's money, right???? Right????
Congrats Laura on 4 years! That is just wonderful!
Donna...aren't you sweet to offer to do my laundry! However, we shut off the water when we leave for more than 2-3 days. Sister left her 13month townhouse for 1.5 days during which time a small piece in the upstairs toilet tank broke and water was gushng out all that time...ruined all the flooring, dry wall, downstairs kitchen cabinets, garage walls and stack washer-dryer. Shutting off the water is now a no-brainer for all of us! Just don't forget to put the hot water heater on "vacation" or "pilot".
Jennifer....hopefully someday soon you can join the ranks of "done". I do know that several girls here were not happy and just kept on - eventually it all worked out for them so I am hoping the same for you!
Christi....hope you are feeling great! And yes, just in time for tx #2! Try Culver's Lemon Ice - sure wish I had known about that 2 years ago.
Well.....I need to get to the ironing and then lots to do as this plumbing thing really screwed up my morning. I will be reading all your posts but my iPhone will not let me post (JulieChicago - work on that!) so I hope you will all miss my infectious and somewhat wacky sense of humor. I do have your emails (I think) so fee free to email me if there's something I can help with!
"Talk" soon!

Hi Ladies,
The mouth sores are better with the magic mouthwash. I went in for blood test on Mon My white & red cells both low, They gave me a shot of leukine on mon and tues. I had really bad stomach pain yesterday so I started pepsid AC and it has helped some. I started runniing a fever last night and this am it was 101.5 which is odd because I never get fevers and my normal temp is 97.2 . After tylenol it is down to 99.8. I go back in today for a blood test so I will let them know about the fever. I got to go get presentable. Christi

Whoopsiedoodles, I think you should come back and visit Peoria while you're in the area. Then I could see you, too! I'm sure some of these great Chicago area gals will jump right in and meet you while you're in the city, though. Susan's up for it! :-)
Christi, do tell them about the fever. It's probably nothing but it might be a sign of something that can be easily squelched before it gets worse. I'm so glad that your mouth sores are improving.
Jackie, We've still only used ouru air-conditioner a few times this year. You're right. It's been a crazy summer.
Oh Wendy, You will be more than READY for your vacation! It seems that there is always something to fix or repair around the house. We WILL miss your daily posts!
We got the morning gals through the Golf 4 the Cure and the weather still looks great for the evening crew. I can't wait to see what the total intake for Susan G. Komen is for the event. I've been amazed at everyone's generosity!
Well, I've only got about naother hour before I need to get back to the club so I need to do a little regrouping. I hope everyone is doing well today.

whoopsie - HI! You'll be here the 26th til the 30th. That's great... I think I will be able to get together too! It would be GREAT to meet you. I'll meet wherever is most convenient for you. Let's start throwing some dates out - so as many of us can meet as possible. Only request - you HAVE TO wear your necklace! lol
Donna - Time REALLY DOES heal all wounds. I still think of it, and I still get somewhat paranoid with each ache and pain... BUT it has and continues to lessen as time goes on. So... there is light at the end of the tunnel... Showering at the firehouse! OMG too funny!
hope4 - Hang in there... I hope all goes well.
christi - HANG IN THERE... hope your fever is gone by now.
Rita - You are the Yoga QUEEN!
Wendrew - When do you leave...and are you going to FL? You lucky duck!

MAY YOU ALWAYS FEEL LOVED
May you find serenity and tranquility in a world
You may not always understand.
May the pain you have known and conflict you have experienced
Give you the strength to walk through life
Facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Always know that there are those whose love and understanding
Will always be there, even when you feel most alone.
May you discover enough goodness in others
To believe in a world of peace.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours
Every day of your life,
And may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who know hate,
And let that love embrace you as you go into the world.
May the teaching of those you admire become part of you,
So that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched
And who have touched yours are always a part of you,
Even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter that is more important than it's form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters,
But instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around you.
Realize that each person has limitless abilities,
But each of us is different in our own way.
What you may feel you lack in one regard
May be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present
May become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself,
And not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.

Good morning gals!
The Rally is over and went well! I think we made about $5500 which is good for a small group of lady golfers. If you ever need to do a fund raiser, contact WendyTY for ideas. She did a terrific job. She's got the Lady golfers' St. Jude tourney yet to go and then she, too can have a break. I even slept in this morning.........a rarity around here!
Tonight is our breast cancer survivor night out in this area. I think we have 16 gals coming, which is good for only the third one. We're doing dinner out at one of the country clubs in town where we will be able to talk better than in a crowded restaurant. I'm really excited about how well this group has been accepted and how quickly the numbers are growing. The gals are in all different stages of their journeys and I think it shows that there is a need for this type of support, as we've all realized.
I am sorry that I haven't kept up real well with everyone on here the last few weeks. My schedule has been just crazy (but good). I'll try to do better in the future.
Buddy, how are you doing?
Annette enjoy your vacation before you start those rads and then be sure to let us know "your take" on the rads.
Wendy, enjoy your time away, too. We all need that every so often to unwind (and sometimes to appreciate the daily routine that we have during the rest of the year.)
Blackjack, have you been out on the golf course again? I think I need some lessons on my short game. I'm hitting the ball good off the tee and on the fairway. When I get to the 100 yard marker, things aren't so good from there on in. I never could hit my shorter irons very well and my putting has always been "off and on." Maybe I should invest in a new putter! LOL Just keep plugging away at it. You'll like it more each time you play!
Hey, gals. I bowled in a bowling league for the Susan G. Komen foundation this summer. A portion of our fees go to the foundation to help fund research. All members of the league got a breast cancer bowling ball. It is pink with the ribbon on it. I haven't got mine drilled yet but just had to tell you about it. If I can ever find a couple of hours to work with my pictures, I'll post a pic of it. I just get so frustrated trying to get pics on here. I do it so seldom that when I get ready to do it again, I've forgotten how to do it and have to spend lots of time figuring out the process again.
Well, I have a free day today and I'm going to enjoy it on my deck, writing questions between loads of clothes.
Love you all.........
Rita

Morning ladies! I hope everyone is doing well.
Christi - I had a fever with almost every tx. It was mostly low grade, but sometimes it got up in the 100 range. My normal temp is in the 97's as well, so when it gets up to 99 I feel really lousy. I hope you feel better soon.
Susan - my girlfriend and I went to the movie last night. I will say that I enjoyed the movie, but was very let down with the ending change. The only reason I can think as to why they would change it is that they wanted a neat, buttoned up ending instead of a shocker. Even though it was a sad ending, it seemed calm and peaceful while the book ended with Kate feeling guilt ridden so it didn't leave you feeling peace. I did pay special attention to Sara's sister (new character) and could not find any reason why they would add that character. She added nothing to the storyline. Maybe someone owed that actress a favor! Very sad movie, but like I said, I'm a sucker for sad movies.
Congrats Laura on the anniversary! You go girl!
Wendy - it's always something, right? Have a great trip!!
Heading back up to the lake this weekend, but bummed that it is supposed to be cold again. Where the heck is summer???
Hugs to all!
