    FK,

    It's officially July 31st and I'm ready to party.

    I'm celebrating 10 wonderful, relaxing days at Flathead Lake, Montana the first weeks of July.  I was with my DH, DD#1, her husband and his mother, GD, DD#2, my niece and nephew.  We are all still alive and talking to each other  SmileMy GD who is 2 caught her first fish on our trip.

    AND  year #2 of no evidence of cancer (got that word on July 29th)

    AND I have finished 13 knitting projects, started and finished 2 more and started and finished 3 sewing projects.  I entered 11 items in our county fair and won 7 blue ribbons.  (I've had lots of time on my hands as I remain unemployed and lots of creative energy)

    AND you fabulous ladies and Charles are still near and dear to my heart, even though I don't post  often.  I still read everyday.

    Great news FireKracker and Julianna, thanks for dropping in and letting us know what's going on with you.  Proud have a great time!

    As for me:

    I'm heading up to WA Saturday for an overnight stay with family.. The Grandkids are throwing me a 60th birthday party.. B-day isn't until the 9th, but my granddaughter goes back to her mom (ex-dil) on the 9th...so.... they are throwing me a party, a week early.  I have no clue what to expect when you get a 4,7 and 13 year old together, but I'm sure to find out.  Pray I don't have any sternal spasms while I'm there.  It will be nice to have one more visit with GD before she goes home for another year. AND to have all my Kids together in one spot. I need energy!!!! I don't have any... OH BOY what fun it will be...

    Ok, I am here, wearing my silly hat, noisemaker hangin out of my mouth (can't download a photo cause at work and they block everything...frankly I am surprised I can get on BCO as they block most of these types of things cause it is a State office!!!)

    good news? ummmmmmm, ok? I must have some? Oh yeah, got a 3% raise! It will be in our next check and it will be retroactive to July 1st! Hey, it is somethin, right?

    Also, tomorrow our office is closed for our anual clambake! We are going to Anthony's Ocean View (See link) http://www.anthonysoceanview.com/  for the day and we are having a feast and a good time. There will be gift cards for people who win silly little contests and lots of great food! Can't wait...no better way to spend a Friday at work if you ask me.

    BBL chicas xo...gotta run cause my appointment just arrived ten mins early!

    A month or two ago we had to replace 23 ft of sewer pipe which was $$. Last weekend the kitchen/washer drain plugged and DH was unable to get it fixed. We called the same plumber who came out, spent 2.5-3 hours working. Finally had to saw a pipe to get to the clog and remove it. The next morning the project manager for the first project called to say they weren't going to charge us anything because they should have caught it the first time. Talk about good news!

    Second good news: We weaned our bottle baby kittens to canned food and lapping formula from a bowl, then passed them on to another foster parent with more roaming room than we can provide.

    Gma, if you want to have MX, I would tell the BS that.  It's your body and you should have it if you want to. When I first got dx, BS wanted to do only lumpectomy and then I would have radiation. I said but if I have MX then I don't need radiation. He could not understand that I would not want to keep part of my breast. I had Paget's of the nipple so the whole nipple area would have to go and I would have what left??  Literally my breast would be sliced in half and I would still need radiation,,,, no thanks.  I insisted on having an MX.  And the funny thing is: BS's wife is also a doctor, a pediatrician, and she told him, that if she were in my shoes,, she would have the MX too. And the man is just shaking his head,, not understanding us women. Oh well, too bad.  Your body, your choice.

    Happy Party time.

    GMA - Happy Birthday early.  Good luck with your decision to have an MX.  I hope your insurance will cover it. 

    Had my MO visit last week - no bad news there.   So, I guess that's my July good news.  :)
