Anyone starting Chemo in Feb?

Hi all
Just spoke to SammieKay which was great.
I have not been near the computer for days with DH in hospital - he is now out with pacemaker and getting better every day, says he is going to work tomorrow. Luckily he has a staff member who lives close by so can get a ride as he can't drive for another two weeks.
Then there is DD1 who ended up back in hospital last Monday. This time they found gallstones, and they somehow stretched the duct so the stones could come out. She will need to have the gallbladder removed in a few weeks once everything has settled down. I did, however, have to jump up and down as she wasn't really assessed until almost 18 hours after her admission, they were wonderful in emergency but once up on the ward she was just left.
By the time I got home that night I had been up for 20 hours after having only about 2 hours sleep so I was exhausted, then was ill all night - I was never that sick during chemo. So took the week off school to deal with everyone and try to catch up on sleep.
Hopefully DH and DD are sorted out for now.
I can smell the bread in the breadmaker so had better check it out
Hugs to all and hope all is well with everyone

I just returned from Dallas... still no house to purchase, although we were close to making a lowball offer on one. Marsha... funk. I hear you. We need another night of hot music in New Smyrna... tap those toes! Wasn't that band just dreamy? Alyson, I'm so glad to hear your hubby is on the mend. Leah, I tried to get hold of you last week while I was in Dallas. Will try again this week. Hillary.. I'm good for either of the two dates but probably better later on in the month, if you can still make it. I'm sure to be putzing around the house this coming weekend as we're within days of listing. Just let me know. I'll send my skype name to all... I think it's... shhhh... you know...twink.
Okay... the big news here is that DH and I spent Friday night and Saturday night mingling with a wonderful group of folks from Arkansas, including Melanie and Big Daddy! Gawd...I can't believe what a wonderful bunch of people Melanie's friends are. Not to mention that Big Daddy and Melanie are just so so so great. I'll post a pic tomorrow unless she beats me to it. We had so much fun eating drinking singing socializing... I think I want to move to Arkansas instead of Texas. Actually, I feel so fortunate to be moving to a location close to Melanie. I'm going to miss Pa and lunch with Hillary, but those opportunities won't be completely gone as I'll continue with my current onc in Philly. Now, if we can get some face-to-face time with Sammie Kay, Terry, Karen, Carryn, Alyson, Catherine... we need to set a date for the FCC get-together in Dallas.
Hugs girls. We're quiet because we're getting on with our lives and that's a good turn of events, considering where we were at this time last year. Worrying about the scans and tests seems to be the new normal. Leah, I know it's stressful for you. We need to squeeze in a little break periodically to just unwind.

Hey, Twink.. good to see (?) you. The new avatar is charming!
I got to meet some other BC.org members yesterday who all live in New England, mostly MA. We had a good time. NaughtybyNature arranged it all, and it was fun. Some of the women were years ahead of us in survivorship, so it was good to see them! Yacked our heads off for 3.5 hours!
Hope you all have a good week!

Hi all...
Sorry to be so quiet, but I have been in a nerve wracking funk.
I found a lump in my breast (same one) and have been worrying. I was at the rad onc's on Friday....he says it is just fibrocystic changes and everything is fine. But I won't feel fine until after my mammogram, which he scheduled for April 18.
I got the results of my BRCA testing and it was negative. So once I get good mammogram results (hopefully) I am going to schedule my reduction....I am shooting for May 9th....it is the 1st Friday my DS doesn't have a scheduled baseball game. If I do it on a Friday DH only has to take one day off work. I will stay overnite at Shadyside Hospital of UPMC (University of Pittsburgh)
Work has me in a funk also. More stress than I really want to deal with and I have been bringing work home with me.
Today I slept until 11 am...not like me at all. So now I am still doing laundry to get caught up.
On a fun note...I cut out my DD's prom dress and am getting ready to start sewing. She will be beautiful, if I do say so myself.
DS had a wonderful hit and played a mean 3rd base yesterday at his high school ball game. But, boy was it cold...windy and 55 degrees. I had on gloves, hat, coat....more like a football game!
I need a haircut, girls....my hair is frizzing every which way!
Well, I still don't have skype, so will talk later....thanks for being here for me, even when I don't feel like talking.
Love,.

Melanie and I last night...
I posted a few others at the Photobucket site in the Dallas 2008 album: http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii231/FCCers/Dallas%202008/?albumview=link&special_track=nav_album_album
Terry, it seems we're all having our ups and downs. I'm sure the mammo will prove your rads onc right but I know the worry is tough. Hang in there.
Leah, is NbN as funny in person as she appears to be on BCO? What fun!

Hi girls!
Oh, all the pictures make me sooo jealous! Twink, Melanie, you look like you're having waaay too much fun!
Ok, I think it's been funk week; I for one declare it to be officially over! I'm feeling a bit under the weather today, but I'm choosing to ignore it. I do work tomorrow, then we're off to Phoenix International Raceway Wed - Saturday. Me and 100,000 of my closest friends.
After missing last year, I'm really looking forward to it. Talk to you all Sunday - have a great week!

Hi y'all! ((((TERRY)))) and ((((ALYSON)))
So cool reading the excitement from the meets!
I have a question...anyone on Tamoxifin having joint pain? I'm mostly having trouble with one ankle/foot. Aleve gives me some relief for a little while. Just curious if it could be related to the Tamox or if I'm just getting old...maybe arthritus?
I would like to share a pic I took of a pencil drawing a local artist did for me recently. She makes the person the main thing and whatever else you want with your face a bit smaller. I can't get over how pretty she made me, like as if I have makeup on. I had her do one of my horses since everyone knows my love for horses. She did a good job showing my chemo curls that calm down a bit when my hair is a few inches long. About 2 weeks ago she took a pic of me to get the most recent looks and I sent her some photos of my horses and this is what she came up with...
0 -
WOW Jan that is a great drawing of you. She captured you beautifully! And the horse, you feel like you could stroke her. As for the joint pain, yes, I have that. Mine comes and goes in my hip area and also am starting to feel some discomfort in the muscles/tendons of my mast/bc side. I think some of that is the feeling starting to wake up some.
Carynn, have fun at the races! You and all 100,000 of your friends....LOL
Twilah and Melanie I am jealous of your time together hahaha You were obviously at a BAR.....AGAIN......
Leah I saw the picture of your New England get together. NaughtybyNature is the only one I knew. She really is a funny person and I always enjoy reading her posts.
Alyson, my goodness! Glad every thing is settling down for you. Good for you taking the week off to recoup. Bread in the breadmaker??? Yummy!
Terry, I really understand your funky feeling. I just sort of feel out of sorts. Can't really put a finger on what it is but................. We're gonna want a picture of DD in her Prom dress!
0 -
Great drawing Jan. You look great!
Marsha, yes.... a bar AGAIN. I quit drinking this week. I don't hit the road until next Monday which helps.
I just got back from the PS appointment. It was to have been a consultation re nipples and I thought I'd leave there with the procedure scheduled. Instead I whined about my boobs (almost cried actually). He was quite sympathetic and has scheduled revision surgery for June 5th. Imagine that! One day and one year before I had them lopped off, I'm in to have the fake ones tuned up. Ack. So... the scoop is that the muscles (pecs) have tightened up, squishing the implant so that I don't have much of a boob at all (Marsha, Leah and Melanie saw first hand). I mean they're a C cup but more like tight little mounds on my chest that don't move at all. I can manipulate them a little but hardly at all. The left side has started to become a little pocked since radiation with the muscle squishing the implant inconsistently so that the underside is a little uneven and the scar line is cinched. Anyway.... I don't like them. I know I need to get my expectations in order but ... I think I should be happier with the outcome (especially having seen Melanie's
). So, I'm scheduled to have these implants taken out and replaced with slightly larger, higher profile implants. The PS will remove the 'pocket' that's formed around the implants (I assume he means on the radiated side) and slip in new boobs. The incision will only be 1/2 the size of the original incision and not likely to need any drains. It's an outpatient procedure. The nipple discussion will be deferred until this summer.
That's my update for now. Love y'all.

Evening, all!
We might be getting spring after all. It hit 50 today, and boy did that feel good! I am optimistic that I may live long enough for this winter to be over.
Hope everyone is doing well.

How wonderful to read all the posts!
I am going about a hundred mpg today as my flight leaves at 6am tomorrow.
Terry; Fabulous news about your "negativity". I know first hand what a huge relief that is. I am also with you on that lump. I bet it is just like mine and several others...fibrous. But we certainly understand the worry. I would love to see a pic of your daughter in the dress you make!
Marsha; So good to see you girl! Just keep in touch...
And yes...we were in a bar...again. The piano bar is just a cool place.
Leah; Wow...you are really getting to meet quite a few new faces lately! I hope you know that we expect you and all of us to have many many many more springs in our future.
Carynn; I thought of you several times over the weekend. I know you would have had a great time in Dallas. No drivers at our place this time though. That's a first for many years. Enjoy your race weekend!
Jan; I agree...great drawing! I hope the joint pain improves soon. It should be time for some serious bike riding!
Catherine; I hope spring has sprung out your way! I bet you are enjoying it fully this year.
Sammie; Is the remodeling getting close to being finished yet? I hope it's exciting and not too much stress on you!
Twink; I am so glad you posted a pic. I just have not had the time to even download mine. I guess we should have taught you the Razorback Hog Call...wooooooooo pig sooooooie! You fit right in with my friends and they all really liked you. Of course, I knew they would. I just hope we didn't overwhelm Phil! I wish that we had taken a group pic...all eighteen of us.
Thinking of everyone...

Bonjour... so nice to have you back Marsha... I miss you... would like to spyke with you, too... I could keep up with Alyson current "double worries"... chatted with Melanie a little bit...
Leah, keep this optimism and sense of humour... you are precious!! They are announcing lots of snow for Wed... I'll be knitting...
Twink, so sorry for your boobies... I love the pics with Melanie... Who would have told at dx time that a year later or so you'd be all partying together... that's why life is so interesting...
Jan, great drawing... I do have joint pain especially when I wake up (right elbow is killing me -- tennis elbow I think from my youth years; right heel, shoulders...) but I do not take anything, and the minute I move it gets better... unfortunately I am "grounded" this week: just back from the OR for the D&C procedure I had to go through -- polypectomie, hysteroscopy). I am a bit sleepy still -- took a great nap -- but no pain for now, and bleeding has virtually stopped already. But no walking, biking, swimming for a while... :-(( Results of biopsies expected next week... I feel great, so I am not that worried... Hopefully this will be just a good baseline for years to come. I was afraid Tamoxifen was acting on me already... maybe the case... maybe not. Hot flashes are still very present but not very often (worse at night).
Melanie, have a great trip: say hi to the ocean for me, and enjoy your Kona...
Big hugs to Carynn, Leah, Hillary, Terry, Alyson, Phyl, and all of you... I will now get to my knitting, the perfect brainless activity for me this week... I finished the navy blue baby sweater and is well on my way with the second one (ivory... baby merino, silk, cashmere...)... but the little niece did not show up yet... should be this week, though...
DH found his way back to WF to shop for dinner... just like last year... went to the same place where I left my breasts on the plate in Jan. 07... I told them I would like not to make a habit of abandonning my spare parts in their facility... they were all very nice but could not get the IV going: 4 punctures (lidocaine first) and a very blue hand... oh well... they profusely apologized... sweet ladies.
Off I go... au revoir...

Jan, Your picture brought tears to my eyes. It is lovely! My daughter is an equestrian, and loves horses,too.

Hi all,
It is so wonderful to read all the posts. Hearing how everyone's life is moving forward.
Terrry, you are in my thoughts and prayers as you wait. I am sure the lump is scar or fibrous tissue, but I know how you feel about knowing for sure. I have had a couple of health related dramas, both as a result of scans. The latest was about the "aneurysmal dilation" of my "aorta with atherosclerosis". The jury is out on that one. The widening is 2.4 cm, considered small and is probably from the build up of plaque on the inside wall, not a thinning of the wall. My doctor wants a CT scan of the aorta, but it requires a very large dose of dye to visualize and because of the recent chemo and the scan of my kidney(remember the "camel" kidney they thought was a cancerous mass and was a normal abnormality,lol. Anyway she is worried about my kidneys and the affect of all these dyes and chemicals will have on my kidney function. I say not more scans. I don't want to know what is happening inside this old body of mine. Why damage my kidneys to find out how much plaque is in my aorta. Probably any person who is 68 has plaque in their aorta.
Melanie, aloha my friend. Let's Skype when you get home. Want to hear your voice. I have been chatting with Catherine, Alyson and Leah. It is awesome to put a voice and a face with the postings.
So glad you got to get together with all the "sisters". Isn't it amazing, the bond created by going through a life changing experience. I don't talk about it alot, but I am a recovered alcoholic with 10 years sobriety. I am always amazed when I go to an AA meeting in a far away place and it is like I have know the people in that meeting all my life. We are so bonded in recovery. It is that understanding one has for the other person who has traveled in your 'moccasins". Breast cancer is the same way. We all know each other through our common experiences.
Jan, the picture is very beautiful. I can see the love in your horse's eyes. What a friend they are. All of God's creatures are such a gift. I was thinking of that this morning as I spent some time with my outside cat. Letting him be a lap cat for a few minutes before I
started my day.
Twyla, what a coincidence again. We continue to go through the same things together. I have 650 cc implants and the right one is nicely shaped, soft and movable. The left one is soft, but it is flat on the front side and it doesn't move at all when you try to push it up in the pocket. The PS cannot figure out why. He is mystified. He is definitely going back in and fixing it, but he is thinking on it right now. He told me to call him in two weeks and he will have decided what he is going to do. He is going to order another implant, high profile. He thinks possilbly this one has somehow flipped and the flat side is out. I don't think so because it would be a movable ase the other one if that were the case. I think maybe it is incapsulated like my expander was. It was on the right side however. They are the same implants, but look completely different. I have read quite a bit on the reconstruction thread and revisions are the norm rather than the exception with recon. I know what you mean about expectations. But darn it, after all the surgery we have been through, we ought to have nice 'boobies', don't you think? That is not an unreasonable expectations. I am sure all our PS's will continue to work on us until we have a good result. Thank goodness for insurance coverage.
Good luck with your move. The picture of you and Melanie is adorable. What cuties you both are. Like Catherine said, isn't it amazing to have these friendships that would never have been without BC. God gifts us with good things out of bad things.
Catherine, so nice chatting with you over coffee this morning. I see you all cozy in your warm house knitting during a blowing snow 'gail' outside. I am sorry I forgot to ask after your health. I hope all is well after the D&C. Be sure and let us know soon about your pathology.
A big shout out to Caryn, Hillary, Phyl, Marsha, Alyson, Pat, and all my friends here.
I hope a get together in Dallas materializes. That would be awesome.
Maybe we can plan a group Skype chat. I think as many as 9 people can do a group chat.
Love to all, Sammie Kay

Hi, everybody... well, the results from the D&C did not come back so good: complex hyperplasia with atypia... hysterectomy a must, on the 22nd probably... this is a pre-cancerous situation, and hopefully, they won't find anything else... but everything is possible... so getting rid of my uterus and ovaries is a good idea... I will need all your good vibes for no carcinoma anywhere once they slice up everything for analysis. Because I did not have children I am too small to proceed through natural cavities and will need a classic surgery (no laparoscopy) with more recovery time... this may not help with the planned trip... will see... Did any of you have an hysterectomy requiring 5-6 weeks recovery time? How are you doing now? I'd better wrap up my little projects here so I can mail everything before I am "stopped in my tracks" again... I should be able to work if sitting is an approved activity... I may not post much because the logistics will take over again... yak...
Thinking of you all and wihing you only the best of everything.
Hugs to all,
Catherine

Oh Catherine, I'm so sorry you're going to be going through this surgery and recovery. I have many close friends who have undergone a hysterectomy, for a variety of reasons, and they've had different recovery experiences. For the most part, nothing unmanageable provided you rest and take care of yourself. Don't overdo it... the mantra for all surgical recoveries I think. Rest, heal, and before you know it you'll be back to yourself. Hugs Catherine.
Sammie Kay... I can't wait to move to Texas and take my first weekend trip to Houston to visit with you. We have so much in common in seems... in any case, you have great taste in soap (Secret Pal) and I know we'd get along famously.
I've had a few brutal days at the office. Enough to drive a sober person to drink... Hugs all, I'm off to bed.
0 -
Well, I woke up cause of a hot flash (rare, but annoying) and decided to check in on everyone and send a nice long post ...
Catherine -- You poor thing ... please keep us informed. It sounds as if it was caught early, which is good. From my experience with a C-section, I know that the important thing is to take it easy for the first several weeks, while you let everything heal. I didn't do this (had a newborn with trouble nursing), and I paid the price of having a very long recovery. Stock up on some good movies and books and just plan on staying in bed! Also, try to avoid stairs if possible.
Alyson -- It sounds as if you are struggling with your family's health ... I hope that all has settled down now with dh and dd ... at least this has all happened after the wedding ... Don't forget to take some time to take care of yourself ...
Twilah -- Sorry for the brutal days in office. How is the packing/house finding/house selling going? Are we still on for the last weekend of April?
Leah -- How lucky of you to meet more bs sisters ... of course, none can compare to us FCCers, but I'm sure it was fun nonetheless!
Phyl -- I hope that you got home safely from our lunch ... haven't heard from you lately ...
Jan -- I know I'm late on this, but what an amazing drawing!
Terry -- I am empathizing with your wait about the lump, having just been there myself. It will be fibrocystic changes, which seems to be what we've all been getting. Good news on the BRCA testing. So far, our group has all been negative!
Marsha sweetie ... What can we do to get you out of your funk?????
And, Carynn -- did you 100,000 friends help you out of your funk????
Melanie -- If my memory is correct, you are now in Hawaii, lucky you!
SammieKay -- I had a laugh thinking about how you stumped your ps!! It's so rare for a doc to admit that they don't know something ... let us know what he finally decides.
Hugs to all,
Hillary0 -
Catherine,
I am so sorry that the news wasn't better and that you now have to undergo this. I had a c-section, which is a similar recovery. Stairs are an issue for awhile. But they don't say no sitting or standing... just take it easy. You won't feel that terrific for probably 2+ weeks, but who knows?
I will add good pathology results to my prayers. Much love.

Catherine,
I will probably be talking with you later tonight, hopefully, but will let you know about my recovery from hyst. I was about your age when I had mine. You are so healthy and in such good shape that I expect you to sail through. I wish I was there to be your nurse. I have recovered many patients with a hyst. I had a bladder repair and abdominoplasty(big tummy tuck) all at the same time. I did well. I was home alone from about day #3 after coming home. I was in the hospital about 3 days. Mainly, I slept a lot. I read books. I took pain med which increased my sleep time. The pain wasn't severe after I came home, but enough to take pain medication by mouth. At our hospital, the hysterectomy patient's have a PCA (continuous IV pain med, plus the patient can push the button and give their own when needed). So all in all it isn't that bad after about 24 hours and one doesn't remember too much about the first 24 hours. We will be talking. Try not to worry. I agree, sounds like they found the problem early and all will be taken care of. You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
Twink, I can't wait until we make you a Texas LOL...I am so excited about meeting you f2f. Funny story, today my pecs were cranky...too much painting and moving my right arm. I can move my breast up and down with my pecs. Quite creepy for a granny. I was demonstrating to my fellow nurses in Recovery Room. They were ROTFLTAO. We figure I can be the "Granny -----dancer". Seriously, sometimes those pectoral muscles just spasm a lot.
Well, DH is home and cranky. Think he is gearing up for another kidney stone. I will write more later.
Hugs to all, Sammie Kay

Hi Ladies, GI JEL here.
Well I went back to work and have not had a minute to read or post.
Glad to see you are all still staying in touch,that is great.
You all seem to be doing well?
Regards to you all and I hope to write soon when I have more time.

Catherine...
I wish you all the best for both an easy recovery and good pathology.
I have recovered from several abdominal surgeries myself: one c-section (vertical incision), one bladder suspension and A&P repair (horizontal aka bikini incision) and a hernia repair. But I had my hysterectomy vaginally....not a problem after 3 "normal" deliveries and for a prolapse. So I would say and echo the others...you will sleep alot. Take your pain meds and take it easy. Rest alot. Start walking as soon as you are up to it, just a little bit every day to build your strength. I also had the IV and pushed a button when I needed a "hit". So the first day is not so bad. We will give you virtual ((((hugs))))on April 22!
I am going to spend the weekend paying bills, sewing and celebrating my 49th birthday on Sunday. Yippee!
Have a wonderful weekend....all of you!
Love,

Hillary...I forgot to tell you...I read your paragraph in CURE. I picked it up in the Genetic Counselor's office. I remember you talking about always wearing something on your head around your son and friends. Seems like so long ago, yet just yesterday!

TERRY>Happy Birthday!
Good to see you posting GI JEL!
CATHERINE>oh no...more surgery? I am so sick of seeing doctors for anything these days I just dread it.
I was so pleased with the results of the pencil drawing. Having gained a lot of weight and loosing my long hair in the past year I wasn't sure I looked pretty anymore until I saw the results of this drawing. I told her I wasn't going to show my teeth as I have 3 front ones that need major work on, our dental insurance sucks. At first DH wanted me to send her this photo of me taken about 20 years ago that for some reason everyone liked well as I was kinda smirking with a twinkle in my eye and had long hair. Even my Dad asked for a copy of that photo. I said no I wanted a more recent one of me with one of the horses I have now. I'm glad I did as it gives me an uplift in my spirits about myself....
She does cartoonish type drawings too and is doing one of DH with his motorcycle to be put on a wall at the motorcycle dealership along with the employees cartoon's.

Big hugs and kisses to you, Terry, on your birthday. My best wishes for very little medical crap and a bountiful garden throughout the seasons... Enjoy your day...
Marsha, could you make your posts a tiny bit longer?? Big hugs to you, too, sweetie, hope you enjoy sunny Florida... tell us about your days... Do you still have BON with your firend (unsure about the letter order...).
The best of Sunday to all of you... Thank you for your support (Sammie Kay is a great Skyper...) -- the 25th is now the date for getting rid of the plumbing... lots to do until then... My niece came to this world yesterday... Mae-Lou... I'd better wrap up my knitting projects...

Hi everyone! We are back and I am exhausted. A good time was had by all, but I've missed you!
I'm so sorry but after 5 days, there's no way I can go back and address you all, but you're all in my thoughts and prayers. Extra special hugs and prayers to Catherine & Alyson.
Happy birthday to Terry; congrats to Catherine on your new niece and a big hello to GIJel!
Have a great nite all - see you tomorrow.

Hi all,
Happy Birthday Terry. Hope it was a great one.
Granite is in, tile back splash tomorrow. Painted kitchen two coats and dining room, one coat. Things are coming along.
Catherine, if I don't catch you on Skype, please PM me your hospital's address. A florist may be looking for your hospital. Also, will you send your home mailing address.
Well as luck would have it, our big living room TV died last night. We had always said we would buy a plasma TV when this one quit on us. But not sure this is such a good time.
Maybe we will not have TV in the living room. The quiet is really nice.
Well, better get ready for bed. Hugs to all. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, especially dear Catherine. Maybe I will catch you on Skype tomorrow. I know u will be busy trying to tie up loose ends before your surgery. Love to all, Sammie Kay

Oh Sammie Kay how exciting to be getting a new kitchen! We remodeled ours a few years ago, it was a big job but love how it turned out. I laughed out loud at you moving your pec muscles. haha
Hi Catherine, thinking about your surgery coming up next week. Mae-Lou, what a cute name. Have you seen her yet or at least seen her on Skype? Oh and yes we still do BNO on Wednesday nights. We are getting together tomorrow at my house, it is DH 50th birthday and I guess I better get him a cake.
Carynn, I bet you guys had a great time. I'm sure all your 100,000 friends were happy to see you back at the races.
Jan, I'm sick of doctors too! Can't wait to move past this every 3 month visits. I have blood work scheduled for next Wed and then see my med onc the following Wed. YUCK I hate going there.
Hillary, you're in CURE magazine? I'll have to look for a copy of that. My onc usually has them sitting out in the waiting room. I guess you are right that I'm in a funky mood since the show closed. I was so busy with that I didn't have time to think of bc or anything else for that matter. I need to find something to get excited about!
Terry how was your birthday?? I know, I know, just happy to have one right?? Well that's how I've started looking at it anyway! Did you get the prom dress finished? Looking forward to seeing a pic!
GIJel, so nice to see you pop in. Come back and let us know what is going on with you. How's the kiddies?
Hi Leah, looks like you have met some sisters who work near you? What fun to get to meet and greet on a regular basis. How are you feeling? I think of you often. Love ya.
Hee Hee Twink, I love your new avatar! Did you ever let me know when you are gonna be in Orlando on business??? I'm thinking it's time for me to have a bunch of cocktails again and need someone to discuss it with. haha
Melanie, are you and Big Daddy planning any Disney visits?? Next time you celebrate a birthday there I expect an invite! Hope you had a grand time in Hawaii and really hope your condo sells fast.
0 -
Marsha; I don't have the next Disney date pinned down yet. A big belated Happy Birthday to your DH!
Catherine; Congrats on the new niece! I bet she will love her new soft sweater. What a special gift from a very special Aunt.
I apologize for the short post, but I am trying to catch up from being gone for a week. Maui was just as beautiful as always and I accomplished so much while I was there. I was right that it wouldn't have been a good trip for someone to go with me. I was very busy, ate at weird times and had much business to deal with. Oddly enough, I actually felt like my mind was cleared of so much gobbly gook...felt good.
I hope everyone is doing well. I had a nice chat with Leah today, so I know she is well. I wish I could get skype to work better for me. Something about my internet connection just doesn't make for a good skype connection...*sigh*.
