    Sherry, Sherry, Sherryc, What is so freaky?  That is my own eye, giving a sidelong glance.  Is it the under eye luggage I am carrying?  Well, George and Brad (but not the genetically perfect Johnny) are sporting eye bags too.  Now you made me self-conscious.  I knew I should have stayed a little pink dog.  But that is not my habit on the anniversaries, and I am a creature of habit, so I will post another pic soon (even tho' it makes me look bug-eyed.  Why go for just a bit freaky, when I know I can do better.)  I'll have to post the pic of my "oh, really?" eyes.  In the spirit of freaky forgiveness I will post some hooray, happy dancers (three, of course) now that you are home from the surgery.

                                                                                  

    cmb,  George, Johnny and Brad...eenie, meenie, minee...all of them!  Triple hotness!!!  You had better help me out with the thread hospitality today.  You know how people just like to stop by for an anniversary open house.  Made a huge batch of Cheetos/Marshmallow Treats.  Don't knock 'em til you've tried five or six.

    It's noon somewhere...time for the 3-hour happy hourS 12-3 p.m., not to be confused with the happy hourS from 3-6 p.m, or the evening happy hourS.

                                                    

    Chin chin!  (I've always liked that toast.  Best double chin you can have.  Today it's chin chin chin!  Maybe even in the Japanese slang way--Google it!))

    Care to join me for some fancy-schmancy "crostinis."  Honey/Pear/Gorgonzola...my favorite!  Or would you prefer provolone w/garlic and roasted red pappers?

    I'll take three of everything, please! Losing my marbles today, as my MO appt is tomorrow, and we're going over first PET scan results since dx. So, scared shitless. I know, I know, being scared does not change what is on the scan. But I'm still terrified if what's on the scan is not good news. And because I take stupid Oxycontin, I can't have a drink. Sigh. But I can eat stuff...

    Elimar, I think your avatar is BEAUTIFUL!!! You just scared a newbie (to this site) who thought you were a small pink dog....

    As for being strong. Don't mix that up with bravery and/or courage!!! "You don't have to be brave, you just have to show up." That's one of my fav sayings. 

    I don't like Brad Pitt. He always looks like he's smelling his own shit. He's just a big spoiled boy toy. And yep, I did recognize Johnny this time!!

    Read something on Facebook that I LOVE:

    "Falling down is part of life; getting back up is living." So simple, and yet so true...eh?

    effcancer,  I found some pretty, new marbles for you.  Don't worry if you lose some, there's more where those came from.

       Now enjoy the virtual party, where you may enjoy virtually evrything.

    Thanks, Barbe.  Beauty IS in the bug-eyes of the beholder!

    Matthew just got better looking in triplicate.  Hmmm...

    That just prompted me to located a trilogy of a certain bug-eyed Brit (but on him, they look sexy.)   Tender--medium rare--well done.  Yummy!

        

    It's Rufus Sewell.  He never met a costume drama he didn't like, and he's been in about 4 of every 5 ever filmed.  

    The thing about these actors...and most of you already know this...is that in my mind's fantasy, they also do household chores.  They don't just stand around and look pretty and just ACT like they want to help, they pitch in and take the chicken bones from dinner out to the dumpster before the dog starts to root in the trash for them.  Gorgeous, helpful, and they should also be immensely funny.  Now that's what I call a triple threat!

    And don't forget, we can invite our sister friends to celebrate with us.  They don't have to be famous, but they should be fabulous.  I met these gals in the waiting lounge at the Jiffy Lube today.  I like how the older one has "sagged" hers down to waist level.

    Remember at the one year party, Elizabeth Edwards came?  Now she could par-tay!  We were all talking about that.  Miss her.  Miss reesie too.  reesie had a better husband, that's for sure.

    I have bug eyes!!! I takes a steady hand to do makeup on my kind of eyes. NEVER has one of those gals that PROMISE they'll give me a new look have been able to do it nicely. I end up explaining about how to shadow my kind of eyes and they thank me....sigh.

    Sherryc,  My third eye (although you cannot see it) is always there, all seeing, and generally working overtime.  I've had plenty of enlightenment and out-of-body experiences on this thread, believe you me.   In fact, I just put my third eye in charge of this whole shebang!  Or hadn't you noticed?

    Ooooh, does that mean we will get a four tier cake next year, mar?  I need some ice cream with mine.  Which one of my current three favorites will go best?  Haagen Daz Carmel Cone?  Braum's Pistachio Almond?  Or Braum's Pineapple Upside Down Cake Frozen Yogurt (insulin syringe needed?)   You WHAT?  You think I should go ahead and have all three?  No, I couldn't.  Better not.  No.  No, really.  Well, o.k.!

        OMG, WE JUST HAD A CHEETOS DRIVE BY!

    Well, the Cheetos were running low, so I asked my neighbor to pick some up at the store for me.  He thought it would be funny to act like a scrub ("hanging out the passenger side, of his best friend's ride, trying to holla at me") and trying to lure the attentions of the young ladies on the block to himself using MY Cheetos.  Knock it off, Jerome!  I gave you a twenty...where's my change?

    Thought I'd see more of the "regulars" peeking in today. 

    Maybe I was straying too far from B/C topics, but the fact is after my dental morning, I spent the day alternately putting pics on here, digging a ditch (well, maybe only a trench) in my yard, trying to reverse drought conditions with some grass seed and the hose, eating ice cream in real life (and it was only TWO of the aforementioned flavors, oinky oink oink!) and cleaning up my elderly pet's "accident."  It's quite the charmed life for me.  I didn't think about B/C hardly at all, and I don't know when it happened exactly, but I am glad to have reached the point where it is really not on my mind very much at all anymore.  I think many of you will get to a point like that, and I wish that ALL of you could.  I know the realities, but I still like to feel, "Oh, B/C?  That's ancient history!."  Still, in feeling that way, I might not have the same relevance or immediate need or be as relatable as I once was earlier in my "B/C experience."  I don't know.

    Or maybe it was my avatar eyes that just scared people away. 

    At any rate, I bid you all Bonne Nuit.  Smile

    Marlegal, thanks for the encouragement....it means a lot!



    Eli, thank you so much for starting this thread and Happy Anniversary! I love the pictures, the laughs, the compassion, and real talk.



    Effcancer, your posts are very interesting and thoughtful.



    Claire....you find the BEST pictures!!! So much fun!



    Sherri, so glad your exchange went well and you are on the other side of that chapter!

    OK-1st off-is that Matthew McCaugnehey NAKED in the top picture of the triple Matthews???? WOWZA.

    2nd-Since I am so inept at posting picture, yes, I am-remember I killed the mystery picture? would one of you techno wizards PLEASE post a triple Antonio Banderos for me???

    3rd-because my sister & I can not bear the thought of sitting around my living room on 12-25 without my mom, my sister, my DD & I are going to go on a 7 day cruise out of Ft Lauderdale, leaving on the 23rd!  We are VERY excited.  My sister & I have cruised before, but DD hasn't.  

    Yay! Yay! Yay!  Happy Birthday to probably my favorite thread-if not my favorite, 1 of my top 3 for sure!!!!   

    PS=E that Brit-doesn't he always play a bad guy?  he's kinda hot tho.
