new and future flat sister, with questions

Ok girls! I caught Colin this morning and he has put up some shots for me!
Here is the FoobMoire, for those who haven't seen it, and yes all those Amoena boxes have a different Prosthesis, for a different occasion! The little drawers are full of different kinds of Foobs and the hanging Camisoles are my fave Amoena Valletta cami with the built in Mx bra inside. Obsessed, me????
The next one is my attempt at Christmas with the Coastal themed decorations at the front door. Seahorses and Starfish with the traditional balls! And there is "manky" Dexter the dog who is always up for a photo opportunity!
The next pic is the dressing room, ready for visitors, note "Foobmoire" is the cupboard by the window! and yes, that's Mr photogenic on the chaise...again!
The final pic is part of the view from my bedroom, and although they are hard to make out, they are all Pelicans on the water.
I wanted to send a little bit of sunshine and serenity to everyone who is feeling stressed and chilly right now! Love you all...take care M x

Hi Hollyboo! Welcome! I'm loving your sons comments on what you should have done in the pharmacy.. he is spot on.. you would have been out of there in a flash!! I have no clue what ILC pleomorphic, so I guess it's a no lol. Look forward to hearing from you when you are able to post
Otceb, sorry to hear about you losing power.. how long do you think you will be out?? I hope to hell you aren't stuck there through Xmas.. unless you want to be of course!! I am laughing at the thought of you flashing the flirty guy!!
TB, I refuse to go look at Lululemon as I don't need another addiction.. although if its expensive I would avoid it anyways.. and aren't they the ones that are see through or something??? Maybe 20 years ago, but sure as hell not now haha. Hope you got DH to watch the whole movie!
I have a big smile on my face as M orientates the newcomers.. they will surely get the claw scoldings soon.. I can't wait!!
M, I have always cried at happy things.. it's so pathetic.. the only time I cry.. Hallmark commercials, Xmas commercials, happy movie endings, happy book endings. People can die or be hacked up or whatever and not a tear do I shed.. but the happy endings I blubber like a baby.
Zils, I want to hear about the hair chalk too.. what is it now a couple of inches.. I bet you look bad @ss punk! The kids must be bouncing of the walls by now with Santa's imminent arrival. What time do you think the boy will wake you up on Xmas?
Spookiesmom, who says you can't shoot them?? Hope the humidity breaks before xmas.. I just can't fathom Xmas in air conditioning
Bobogirl, at least you at half the dinner.. that's a great start. Are the fills painful??? I didn't think they were.. just figured it would feel kind of weird.. squishy or something lol. $29k for just the recon part??? WOW!! That's insane. Are you serious about the headlights.. do you really want high beams all the time.. I am assuming you are joking with us.. but I have to admit being a bit surprised that it would even be an option!!!! omg... with the colors and 3D that is just way too overwhelming! Can you get them neon so they light up at night haha! I am laughing at M's comment on your boss. It'll all be fine, you'll see.
I brought the sleighs to work today and everybody went crazy for them.. even the older guys. I only gave them to support staff and including the attorney's would have been way too many to make and lug in and a couple of them were begging for them.. it was so damn funny. A lot of the male attorney's act like overgrown children anyways.
Going to try to get some wrapping done today. I'm trying to keep track of what it is in Aussie now... I think it's the morning of Xmas Eve.

M, Merry Christmas!! I hope you spend a lovely Christmas Eve with Bec and great Christmas. THANK YOU for the pictures! You truly seem to be the connaisseur of foobs, and have so much respect for them that you dedicated a special sport for these! Your dressing room is so nice! It is very comforting to see a gorgeous Aussie summer view when most of us are freezing here. I am so glad you found a peaceful place to spend your leisurely days, and that you have adapted from city to coastal town pace. Thanks also for the background on Colin, you're probably fed up of hearing this, but you are a special lady.
bobo - You have not told anyone at work? It might help to do so to feel free to take time off when you need to, I'm sure everyone would be understanding, and I'm sure your boss does not keep you around only for the boobs! How does it work with recon, do girls sometimes wear smaller foobs during the months of fills? And BBW? Sure why not, whatever, I'm not an arachnophobe so that's fine, but I'm no Catherine Z-J either! You know how some people are, they just hit on anything that has a pulse! Btw, my son is 5. I hope you regain some strength soon, you need to eat to get better! Good luck with the fills, what crappy timing. I hope your pain meds are ready. Probably won't be your best Christmas but I just want yours to be as painless as possible!
I went to the dr today, turns out I don't have lymphodema but a small accumulation of fluid deep under my armpit that has swollen this area to the size of a tangerine. Of course, I was a strange case, they thought it was a ball of fluid, they poked me and got nothing, thought it was an overreactive node, I had an ultrasound, and it's this thing. Don't you just love it when dr's are like "oh, we don't usually see this, interesting" and you have all the students around to learn - sure, I'm all for this but I hate being "a case"! I was told to put a bag of frozen peas on it (tough to do at the hotel room with no freezer!), and take Tylenol. If it's worse tomorrow, I can go and get an ultrasound-guided fluid retrieval. Anyway, just want the pain to stop and want to sleep.
Still no power, but we had a good day anyway, and it will just be a little difficult to get ready for Christmas Eve if we still don't have power tomorrow. Good thing we're not hosting! Our families have power, so all good. And we'll bring a bag of laundry to Montreal if it's not back by Christmas!
All - Merry Christmas if we don't write before you celebrate! Big hugs to a fantastic group!

M, Merry Christmas!
Bobo, Threaten him if he fills so much it's painful.
Freckles update: He usually sits in the chair next to me while I'm on the computer. Today he would growl and get up and leave. This happened several times. I finally realized he was reacting to the dog next door whining to be let in. So no dogs in his forever family.
I can remember a Christmas in Houston with the air conditioner going full blast on the tree, trying to keep it from dropping every last needle.
We're having a quiet Christmas Eve by ourselves and then having 8 for dinner on Christmas Day. Turkey, potatoes, gravy, brussels sprouts, green beans, asian cabbage salad, bread, cranberry sauce, and pie. Will probably make mashed potatoes that are half cauliflower.

Happy Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas to those in the Southern Hemisphere!
I decided to actually post tonight rather than just read as I usually do. You all are so fantastic to read and keep me laughing!
I am getting nervous about my upcoming surgery. I am quite comfortable with my bilateral mastectomy decision, however I am getting more and more nervous about the procedure. I don't know if the Hetceptin is making me nuts/irrational, but even though I have had many procedures I find myself becoming afraid. I remember the reduction surgery 20 years ago and it wasn't that bad, but I still find myself having a growing dread! This is so not like me! I get the "Suzie Sunshine Award" at the oncogists office. I am always upbeat and tend to be totally irreverent towards my cancer. Any suggestions to help me get over this will be greatly appreciated!
I am also suffering from a bad case of swelled ankles and feet. Haven't had this before and can't imagine why I am experiencing it now. Any ideas? I have managed to gain a huge amount of weight since my diagnosis in May, but the kankles are too much for me and they just appeared. Could my infusions be to blame? (I was getting them every week, but it was chaned to every three weeks when I finished the chemo.). Yes, I know that I need to tell my doctor about this, however I doubt I could find him during the holidays! Getting in touch with any live human being is just about impossible! I doubt anyone is checking the messages as the first thing you hear when you call the office is, " if this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911." So ladies any insights will be greatly appreciated!
I hope you all are enjoying the holiday season. I wish those who are chilly could send some cold weather to me as it was 81 C yesterday and I am always having a personal summer! I am also a transplanted Yankee and have never gotten accustomed to warm weather during the Christmas holiday! Such is life in southern Virginia. If you don't like the weather just wait 10 minutes, it will change (and not for the better).

Hi Sgc! Nice to see you!
I am just popping in for a minute to say HI! Bec arrived and is so glad to be here. We have had our big seafood feast, the dishes are done and we are relaxing for a while before I do the plum pudding and custard. It is 9pm and it is still very warm, and almost dark. All's well here!
I hope you all are having a great sleep, and have a wonderful Christmas Eve, and Christmas.
Sgc, I am sorry you are you're having a rough time with the impending surgery. We all know that gnawing fear of the unknown. I am sure the others will agree when I say, it really won't be anything like you are expecting. I could not believe that I was up and walking the halls, joking around with the nurses, just a couple of hours after waking from the anesthesia. The next day I was released and I was shopping in a mall, with my drain in a shoulder bag. I didn't need any pain meds. One thing I always say is "If I only knew then what I know now!" It is a process, and I think we all have to face the fear, but you will be fine!
I can't speak about the SE's of the Herceptin, ldesim will be able to fill you in on the possibilities of that causing your swollen ankles. I don't know anything other than keeping your feet elevated when you're seated. Not a lot of help here, I am sorry.
One thing I can tell you, is that there is so much support and genuine care here, it helps you get through the scary times.
I am off again, but look forward to catching up again! Take care M x

otceb and Wren, thank you!
I have been trying to get that dressing room finished forever! All done now, glad you liked the FoobMoire!
I am so glad to hear you don't have LE, but sorry you have to put up with the pain of the fluid. I hope it improves without any intervention.
I hope you have a great time with the family, take care! M x

Merry Christmas M! Glad Bec is there and the dishes done.
SGC. I second propping your feet up and avoiding salt. Do not be afraid to call. They should have given you an after hours number. If not call the hospital and ask for an oncologist. Someone will call you back. It seemed like all my treatments were just before a long holiday weekend. They get paid the big bucks and some actually volunteer to work the holidays. Do not feel guilty.
PBR. I think you are the one with indecision. You need to find out how many rads. Both Idesim and I have completed them and we've lived to tell the take. What exactly are you afraid of? Do you know the percentages if you do or don't? Common long term SEs from rads can also be attributed to the general aging process. I promise they take utmost care in zapping your area. Numbers are double checked every time. It reminds me of those drive thru oil change places. Ask away or PM me. Nothing is too trivial or personal. I can give you my opinion and my experience and will support whatever is your decision. But all this can wait until after Christmas. Try to enjoy the moment!
No white Christmas for us. Just chilly. Crazy weather lately. Was 60 two days ago and then terrible wind and no power. DH working on generators.
In the bag for Bobo. I recommend bribing the children before the appt and going for a small fill today to see how it goes. Glad you're eating. I sent you an email about a hold for appetite. We both need to try it. I had beans and rice for lunch. And cantaloupe. It tasted so good I had seconds. My first this year!
Had an ultrasound yesterday. My endo lining is perfectly menopausal. Yea! So if any bleeding or even my period I have to go back in. Maybe I will have a good SE after all. No periods! Haven't had one since June.
The boy stayed with my sister yesterday since it's Christmas break. He was excited to go and show off his skating skills. Oh to have the confidence of a four year old. He still is learning the concept of time. He asked if Santa came while he was gone, would I save his presents. When I picked him up, he clung to me. Not sure what that was about. But he was tired, itchy and I was later than expected.
On the way home we kept smelling stinky cheese. It's about a 25 min drive but then got behind some slow poke and it's narrow, twisty road. Thought maybe it was Miss Poopy Pants. Afraid it was in her car seat. Just gas thankfully but it was strong! They gave her goldfish at daycare and she's lactose intolerant.
It's the latest fad here. You wet your hair and slide chalk pads down the strand and seal with hairspray. Easy way to add strands of color. Since I have no strands she just rubbed it on my scalp. Took two days to wash it out! She used all four colors in big spots on the top of my head. Green, pink, blue and maybe purple. Great fun.
The other funny thing was we were playing games for all ages. Christmas bingo, name that carol from a snippet of text and Christmas ABC. Divide into teams and alternate naming Christmas items in alphabetical order. Like A for angel, B for baby Jesus. Whoever got stumped lost. Any suggestions for U or X or Z? We decided to include holiday stuff not just religious.
I was hot. No chemo brain for me. I answered the question and told the other team to go before my sisters could come up with something. It was boys vs girls.
We had pulled in all the available chairs. I didn't pay attention and thought I was sitting down in my chair. Nope, had moved over one and sat in a child's rocker. Then I got stuck. Couldn't get out because I couldn't leverage with both arms. Highlight of the evening!
Wish I was having a crab feast or tamales. That sounds yum. Have no idea what we're going to eat tonight. Certainly not goldfish!
Merry Christmas Eve!

Just popping in to see if there is any news on how bobo's fill went yet.
Ariom, the dressing room is wonderful!! Thanks for sharing them! So glad you had a great dinner and are relaxing now with Bec!
Welcome Sgc, glad you came out of lurkdom and introduced yourself!! I am so sorry you are having a rough time right now. I'll second what Ariom said. It is terrifying before the sx and the time waiting is excruciating, but once past you'll realize that what actually happened, was far less scary than all the things you imagined before. We've all been there. Can't give any advice re the Herceptin, I was fortunate enough to not have to do any chemo, rads or hormone treatment. There are others that can help you with that. Yeah, elevate the feet and monitor salt intake.
otceb, glad to hear it isn't lymphodema, but sorry about the fluid and pain. Maybe the hotel would let you keep a bag of peas in their freezer? Buy two packages, one to use and one freezing and switch them out as needed.
Wren, what an excellent observation!! You just saved him from a possible disaster!
Zills, so good news re the lady parts. I had a hysterectomy back in '95 and know the great feeling of no more periods!! Wouldn't that be a great se?
Sounds like a good time was had by all at your celebration!
Hugs to all! Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!

It is Christmas morning here and so quiet, there's no one about. The sun is out and the water is like glass. I have locked Dex in with Colin, who's still in bed, so if anyone passes we won't have a doggie flip out that will wake the neighbors. Bec is still sleeping, I 'm going to let her sleep as late as she wants, she's had a really busy time at work, and a longish journey yesterday.
I have just been out with my camera taking pictures of my next door neighbors house. A huge branch has come down across their front patio. I don't want to send the message yet in case they are sleeping. It isn't like there's much they can do from the city on Christmas morning.
I hope all of you are wherever you have to be and you all have a wonderful time with family and friends. I'll check later...M x
gB, so glad you liked the pictures, Bec was very impressed with the Dressing Room, she'd only ever seen it as a junk room, so she will be happy to give up her much bigger room, come New Years to friends of ours who are coming to stay.
So nice to see our new members posting, after reading for a while. I had no idea that our daily writing was being read and enjoyed by others.
Chat later..M x

Zills, I am having trouble keeping up with you! You've turned into a "rocket" I can't believe your energy! But it is fantastic to hear, and something that finally tastes good! I love that!
Love the story of being stuck in the chair, and beating the other team, no chemo brain must feel great! How about "Uniting" "Unwrap"? "Zalig Kerstfest" Happy Christmas in Dutch! that's all, I am afraid!
Miss Poopy pants is going to get a name for herself, stinky cheese, yuck! It has always been our dogs that have been the "smelly" issue in the car, except for Dex, he has been on Pro-Biotic dog food since his big surgery. No farts, and the sweetest breath a dog can have, it is weird. Maybe some Pro -Biotics for the baby?
I must tell Bec about the hair chalk. I know she bought some but I don't think she has tried it yet.
I say Yay! To the no periods too! I was thrilled to get rid of that little visitor too. I had friends telling me 38 was too young for menopause, it probably was, but I was over that little annoyance which was perfectly timed for me from day 1.
Going to jump in the shower before the girl arrives to get Colin up. Take care M x

Merry Christmas to M, Bec, Colin & Dex!!! Hope you have a fantastic day!
Happy Xmas Eve to everybody else... you all in your own unique and individual ways have made this year easier than I had ever thought possible and I am humbled to have met what has to be the most wonderful group of ladies on the internet
SGC, welcome! I'm glad you decided to post!!! Thus far I've been the only one in our little group to be treated with Herceptin. It's nice to now have somebody to b!tch about swollen ankles with! I did have a lot of swelling problems during the time period that I was receiving weekly chemo/Herceptin for 12 weeks. My MO, nurse and myself have all attributed it to the Herceptin, however, it doesn't seem to be a common SE, at least with my MO. We tried water pills, but they didn't really do any good and I didn't want to be taking anything while all the crap was going through my body. I can tell you that since I now get only Herceptin every 3 weeks, it is no longer a problem. It's probably nothing to worry about, especially if both of your ankles are swelling equally. My initial fear when I had it was a heart problem because as I'm sure you've been told, Herceptin can do a number on your heart. Do they have you doing the Echocardiograms every 3 months?
Regarding your fear on the surgery... I'm sure everybody here will back me.. and you will read it in almost any forum you go into... is that it is never as bad as you anticipate it is going to be.. everybody says it and it's true! I too was irreverent towards my diagnosis and sailed through chemo.. but I was scared out of my mind for surgery and I felt so silly afterwards because it was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.. not at all. As we all say, the worst thing about the entire situation is the $U($*$# drains.. and they are not painful, they are just annoying!
When is your surgery? We would like to know so we can be "in the bag" with you
That took me longer that I anticipated to type... I will be back in a bit to catch up with the rest of you!!

Thanks ldesim, It will be a very casual laid back day. I have another Crayfish in the fridge and Turkey Breast, and Ham, so we have lunch sorted! Thai red curry for dinner with coconut rice, that's if we can fit it in!
I couldn't agree more about being humbled by meeting this stellar group of women! It has made my experience so much better too. I love you all!!!!!! M x

I have a question for you ladies. I am recovering nicely from surgery and enjoying my favorite evening of the year . . . Xmas Eve. I had wanted to go for a pedicure and gel nails before New Years Eve to help me feel better, but have been reading about the risks of manicures on the hand of the mx. What have your experiences been? I have no trouble dropping the idea of a manicure if there are risks involved. I would definitely go to a very reputable salon and insist that they do not cut cuticles. Your experiences would be very helpful in deciding if there are further risks. Thanks again and a Very Merry Christmas to all.
0 -
Love you too M!!!
TB, I can't help you with that.. I didn't even realize a manicure could be dangerous!!! I would say that as long as no cuticles were cut, you should be ok... but somebody else might have better info than I do.
0 -
I hadn't heard that about mx. Maybe if you are experiencing LE. I didn't get mine done during chemo due to possible infection. I was a big germophobe but it worked and I have two young germy kids. I'm hoping to celebrate the end of treatments and tests by having a spa mani and pedi. I don't like the feel of polish on my nails but like them to be shaped, massaged, moisturized. It's a treat and I'd hate to give it up. I feel like I've already given a lot up.
0 -
Thanks ldesim!
TB90, I too, absolutely love Christmas Eve, it was always our Celebration Night. It was my Mother's Birthday, and everyone would go the my parents house for a big party. Bec and my friends kids would put on a concert, when they were small, and everyone had a ball!
We still Celebrate Christmas Eve, that's why we did the big dinner last night. Today will be very casual. No pressure for anything.
I hadn't any idea of that nail rule either. I am a nail freak! Always painted, and as of 2 weeks ago, gel toes and fingers. I had both manicure and pedicure soon after my surgery, I wasn't told not to.
I bought a Haute gel nails kit, and can knock over my hands and feet in about 15 minutes total, dry and rock hard ready to go. I love it, and have ordered lots of new colors. I am no expert on the subject, but I think if you're careful about not having cuticles cut and the place is reputable I doubt you'll have a problem with it.
I am so pleased to hear you're doing well after your surgery. It is so good to get over that hurdle.
Merry Christmas to you too! Take it easy...M x
Zills, I'd love to give you a manicure and my special hand and arm massage. I used to have a huge client base for my manicures when I was doing my hairdressing apprenticeship. Those were the days before gels and acrylics, just beautiful shaping, nourishing oils and massage and buffed or polished. I love buffed shiny nails! Bec is a nail biter, but she always has a manicure when she comes home. She doesn't enjoy doing spa things like I do. Her best friend was the most divine gay guy. He appreciated my spa days, and loved to put on masks and have his nails done, he was always amazed that Bec wasn't interested. He used to say he was the Daughter, I never had! LOL Hugs to all. I would love o see the little faces when they see that Santa has been. There's nothing that comes close to that innocence.
You sure deserve that treat Zills!
Love.. M x

Having a very quiet Christmas Eve. Will go to DDs for brunch. Sure the grands will beg PaPa to teach them how to ride the bikes Santa is bringing.
Merry Christmas to all.

Well then, I am going forward with both. Manicures can put persons with lymph nodes removed at risk for LE. But if you girls hardly even know about that, I am certainly not going to think about it any further. Must be a minimal risk. But of course, I would read about it!! You are absolutely right, we can only give up so much

'Twas the wee hours of Christmas morn
The geese are honking their horns
The cat is leaping
The children sleeping
I popped in to say
Happy Christmas to all my bc sisters today!

Didn't nap yesterday. Fell asleep while waiting for boy to go to sleep. Now wide awake and hungry. Have no idea what's got into the geese or the cat.
Buy stock in batteries. He got three remote control machines already and Santa is bringing a fourth. She gets a pink kitchen.
DH is doing all the cooking! Hope he does the dishes too.

Awww Zills, that's so sweet!
Good to see you've got it all figured, I hope the dishes get done for you too! M x

Zills, that is so sweet!
Just got home from my friend's house. Totally stuffed myself on crab! Even indulged in a tiny piece of garlic bread. First piece of wheat bread I have eaten in 2 years. My friend coaxed another friend of hers who is also as much a hermit as me to join us. She came reluctantly, and now we are hoping she will join us tomorrow night at my friend's sister's house for dinner. My dear friends are gathers of us lonely souls, and I love them so much for that!
Merry Christmas to all my friends here, may your New Year be blessed with health and happiness!

Merry Christmas to my sisters! I am so happy and surprised for the new people. I know you will sail through sx.
M, I love your description of massages during manicures! My place kind of does that, but I wishe I could have a really good place that does that well.
Like Z, I don't like the feeling of polish on my hands, but I have this new makeup brand I am scoping out, I think it is called llamasqua or something like that -- no animal testing, and it is kind of bad ass. It is British. Obviously I am going to have to punk back up quite a bit in order to go out in public. Therefore, I believe part of my regime may involve this excellent new YELLOW polish on fingers. They have an excellent black. They even have black and blue lipstick, which I do not use, but I am very happy, they have it, in general.
It is my natural inclination to be pretty natural -- no hair product, no fingernail polish, really comfy clothes -- but it is my inner inclination to let my punk flag fly (new people), and so I must combine the two, as many punk-ish people do. Many punks do not use animal testing and are careful in their selection of makeup and shit-kicking boots. I want to caution new people that I don't look very punk at all. I teach at a college, and work in R and D there, and I am just at the punk edge of that. My work colleague, who I have nicknamed pinky, who is very cheerful and unassuming, introduces me around the office to new people like this: 'And this is Bobo. She is dark on the inside.'

M. vegetarian, but DLLP is making me eat pan-fried fish for dinner tonight. One of the main things I said in the hospital, while whacked out on pain meds, was (to DLLP): don't make me eat meat here.
0 -
Helloooooooo Bobo!
So glad you're here!
Pan fried fish sounds perfect, I hope you enjoy it!
I love the sound of the Punk nails. I would have been into that when I was younger. These days I just wear dark Pewter on my toes. It has been a signature of mine for years. I used to wear Dior Black polish, but never liked the black lipstick.
I hope you're feeling better with each day. How did the Christmas stuff go, you know I need a "Children at Christmas" fix! LOL
Zills, I need one from you too! LOL How did it go?
gB, glad to hear your day went off well too. I still have a cray and a kg of prawns to get through today!
Take it easy everyone, see you later.....M x

Panfried fish sounds good to me too. DH cooked and cleaned. The baby and I even got scrambled eggs in bed.
Boy ecstatic over his R/C 4 wheelers. Said he got everything he never wanted. Yes that phrase is correct. Also got a tool box with real tools like daddy. And magna tiles. Can build cool 3D structures.
Baby got a pink kitchenette, some play food (the hot dog is obscene) and a baby doll carrier. Loves the baby carrier. Baby doll either in wagon or carrier. Boy's r/c riders go in the stroller. Boy fed baby doll once and played in kitchen. Now have to find pacifier for baby doll before the baby will go to sleep.
Have discovered that cadburys version of McVitties give me acid. Grrr. Haven't tried the real ones yet.
Spent most of the day laying around. Too much excitement to nap. Took walk late to feed peppermints to the horses and play with kittens. Saw two white geese amongst the gaggle on the pond.
The cancer fitness program at the Y doesn't start until end of Jan. So I have a month to get started on my own. Going to walk, start rites and the green vibrance. I need you all to keep me on track.
A little worried about this "spare" time I'm going to have. I know house cleaning and paperwork to do too. I've never stayed at home before, I've always worked. I know my new job is to get better. I just don't want to become depressed or stagnant.
My underarm would make good zombie flesh. The scar is about 2/3 blistered and peeling. The darkest area is my underarm and it's sloughing off. The reddest area still itches.
Feel bad but sending baby to daycare tomorrow. I think she's reached the terrible twos early. Everything is No. Need to get some sleep. Can't decide if I'm going to take boy to movies over break or just rent one.
Dismantling tree tomorrow and try to get toys corralled plus stinking paperwork. It's end of the year! I think I sent the accountant four emails back to back trying to get stuff straight. It's been a rough year.

Merry Christmas to all my bc sisters! and welcome to newcomers! Just got home from our son's house, went early for a gymnastic performance, which was good and she was so thrilled we were there to see her. The house was just electric with 3 little girls excited for Christmas.. just the best feeling even if it can tire me out! The 4 year old was something else!!so fun, they got American Girl dolls, never having daughters and never liking dolls when I was a child this was new to me! DIL is very frugal and found them for not so much $$ and cyber monday had great sales on extra clothes. I found matching pajamas for the girls and dolls and they loved them, in fact wore them to dil's brothers house for dinner! and what a bunch of great food he had! his wife's family is Bohemian and they brought duck and dumplings... I never heard of it before, quite tasty tho.
So nice to see all the postings and good wishes... sleep well all.

I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas. We had a great day.... lots of food. Zills, sounds like the kids had a fantastic day and you got a bit of spoiling as well
I think the little ones will keep you from being stagnant or depressed. You can count on us to keep you on track and vice versa.. I need to use this damn treadmill and get some of this weight off so I will feel better.. but I need to eat all the cookies in the house first and then I can concentrate on that How's Bec feeling M and how long is she able to stay this time around?
GB, glad you had an enjoyable day
Bobogirl, how was the fish and how did the kids make out from Santa?
