how about drinking?

Nighty NIght Girlzzzz. Hope everyone sleeps well tonight! Looking forward to some Irish Coffee and Mimosas in the morning, as well as the fantabulous HTL brunch! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........................*snore*.......................

Karen, nice to see you! I know how you miss Chrissy. I heard about the snow there, wow. I am glad you endured the fast and happy to know you have wine in your blood and that your belly is filled. Enjoy that snow, funny it is mild her, now at 57. So neat that so many little girls are having birthdays today, I now know of 5 via fb and bco. Bummer for your DD's lil friend who has to fast every 6 years on her bday!

Kathy, Raquelle risque wisque uhhh i forget the rest, cute that you will freeze the cupcakes til next time, sort of like the wedding cake ritual. Good for you getting to bed early so that you can be an awesome g'ma again tomorrow!! 

NM, hope your work day is going well. The moon is nearly full but not quite yet, thank God, huh!

Kymn, hoping for peace in your heart and hope to hear from you soonly! Wishing u a happy happy TG. Is it for the weekend or the day, I am not familiar w/ Canadian TG but find it cool.

And Scuuuuuby Due, like your message format, think me stole it. Oops! You are so right about the Fly guys, saw me some cuties my dern self. I ordered a Flyer's sweat shirt online today, we have casual fridays and I love wearing my team gear to work. Orange is not me until hockey time. What a great day. 

Great weekend for DorK, feeling great. Drinking Wodka and Pink Lemmonaide. Danced with Pants tonight and earlier today poolside with DH and  ex formal DH, he went in the cold pool, crazy man! I got a little sun - had to nap mid party, sun still whips my sorry arse. Have a new breast friend today, a gal from work, also has had BC and was a close friend to my dying or now deceased friend Cindy. We have not gotten an update but assume she is at peace now. My new breast friend is grieving hard and she said I made her smile when I left her a goofy first time voice message - that warmed my heart. She thanked me over and over for calling. I do'nt often get close to coworkers, for a good reason, but make exception for my BC sisters as you girls are simply special. Something about having "been there, done that" that makes the relationships so special. 

Chrissy B is in Los Angeles, wow, how exciting for her. Wish we all could've taken the bus and joined her there.  She is the most magestical, most beautiful human I have ever known. In my eyes, she is a Saint.

Missing alot of girls here, you know who you are! Someone join me for a quick nightcap?? Pants is with me now btw, that is what you gals get for leaving me alone with him for six hours today ha! love ya goilies. CheerZ!

Morning ladies!



Karen, hope you got some rest, sounds like you will need it with all of that do get done. It is beautiful here in Philly today, errands all done yesterday, need to figure out what to do with the day. Other than PT stuff, which I am starting now. Can definitely understand a 13 yo wanting her birthday on her birthday!



To start, definitely Minosa weather (bloodies are better in the cold, at least for me!). Not qite ready to hit the HTL buffet. Pants, a Mimosa please!



Cheers all!

LOL, enjoyed your post, Allison! What fun for the girls (and your DH) to camp out in the tent, and with the dogs, no less! When I was a kid, the tents did not have floors, and were basically 2 flat pieces that buttoned together, then you had the 2 tall poles inside to hold it up, and stakes all along the side. SO, my dog Laddie (male that looked like Lassie) would want to get close to us, and in the middle of the night, he sometimes would LIE on the side, right on top of us little girls!!! And of course it was a PIA to try to get it back up! Fun times, though. OH, you're having nice mild weather, like we are. Just beautiful, simply gorgeous!

Karen, OMG you bake more than anyone I know....all of it sounds so yummy! Glad you made it thru the fast ok, and loaded up on wine when it was over...LOL. Cute that the girls got together so late, on her b'day....I don't blame them either.....doesn't feel like a birthday when it is after the day.

DorK, I only froze 1 cupcake, and just till my g'dau from TX visits so she can have it since we made it on her b'day. Not sure if they will be here this month, or next. Glad you had some pool time yesterday! Nice that you can be close to another bc coworker....she can be inspired by your progress.....and know that she can be OK!

Having a mimosa with Scuby! So nice to be camped out by the mimosa fountain. Today is my "anniversary" (monthly one), but next month, in Ireland, will be the official one! DH usually gets me a card/flowers every month, but he forgot...we have been busy lately, and he has tried to do things with my dad. My dad has been working outside patching areas on HIS house....amazes me what all he still does. Only place his age shows, is in his hearing, or lack of. The hearing aids help, but at his age, we still have to talk loudly. He and DH watched the BAMA game last night, and they WON again....yahoo!!!

ChEARS dears!

Kathy

Just a quick good morning and hello, just read, no time to write, off to church, will post later but know I will pray for all of you.  Already enjpying another beautiful day! CheerZ!

Lori, said some prayers for your mom. Nice to see you. My wish is that your chores go fast and you have some Lori time.

 Allison, I will pop into the HTL chapel and say a few more prayers for you and hope that your pain goes away. Also praying for your wbc count. Glad you had fun at the party, I saw you sleeping in the corner but did not know it waas you since your lampshade was over your eyes. You are great here!

Scuba, I just made a vodka and pink lemonade and will be by the pool again. I hope you find something fun to do today other than PT. I did the fist PT thing at church, have done it before there.

 Kathy, happy 9th of the month to you and your DH! I hope you celebrate. I hope that you can take a break from painting, running the saws etc etc. You are something and also make me feel lazy.

Karen, any progress is good, keep the faith and all will get better. I pray for you often. 

I am still really enjoying this weekend and will not dread tomorrow until later. A good serman at church about work and I will try to take it with me tomorrow and not hate being there. Only eight work days left until I go out for the next surgery. Me tinks I am addicted to propothal lol, that is one thing that makes me look forward to the day. Really though, I have been bumming out over the continuing pain I will have, seems it will be with me through 2012. I try to look at the bright side and know I have the gift of life, that is what keeps me strong and that This too Shall Pass, that is so true and I live by it.

Hello to all the ladies who are missing... won't to mention names out of fear of hurting someone. Know I love you all for what you each bring to me and all me gweat fwends. You MIA chicks know who you are and know I miss you, darn it, just say hi, that is all I want.

Well time to get in the sun but just a bit and maybe even into the pool for a jog in the shallow end, lesson learned, still paying the price for taking that one dive. I can be so dumb. Water temp is only 70 but it is already 80 here, I love it! Scuba, feel free to join us, we will have the Eagles game on too!  Love you chickadees.

Have a great day girls and drink tons of likker!

The traveling pants article was great, but Chrissy's blog is so much more of the story.  Kathy - sorry you are exhausted, hope the shower helped.  Personally, am headed for the hot tub, the Eagles lost and i finished my PT on the deck.

 " 

 They said I could start lifting light weights, didn't say what type of weight it was.  DorK, am virtually coming over for a swim - what a beautiful day in October!

Lori - prayers for your  Mom, hope all okay.

Cheers to all the HTL ladies - hope you all have Columbus Day off tomorrow, if not, may it seem like a Holiday!

Seeing my BS tomorrow, not expecting much, PS is Tuesday am, hoping to find out game plan for fills and exchange surgery.  Tamox not here yet in the mail, maybe it got lost?!?  NM - hope I can confirm Maine visit for Christmas soon.

Scuby Luv....

Kathy, yeah, turns out DH's Mum lives not too far from NM. We are hoping to be up in December, but that is pending exchange surgery date. Maine is so huge, it is HTL good luck that she is that close. Never went to Maine until I dated DH, it is so spectacular there, always enjoy it. It is is worth the trip.



Glad the shower helped, hope the cocktail did to, per my picture, my DOTD was fancy beer. Your pick otherwise.



So good Junie's family can have some happy events to co e together with. Helped my family a ton when a nephew was born 2 weeks after my Dad passed away. Bittersweet, but it brought is together with a good thing to focus on.



Hot tub time, oh Jock, my chilled beer please, and I might need a chin strap to keep me from sleeping in the hot tub, the one in pink to match my bathing suit please!

Took me 2 hours to clean the down stairs bathroom and get the bedroom ready for the kids....DD and SIL arrive on Tuesday morning....of course DS gets displaced from the bathroom as the only entrance is through the bedroom.....but goodness he is a SLOB!!!!!

Took DD#2 looking for boots today....you would think DSW was giving them away with the crowds after a rainy cold day yesterday....found new snowboots for me, but will check it out on ebay.

Not having a good day today....is it too early to start drinking at 3:30pm???? of course it is in real time......Had a really great couple days so was feeling pretty up, so not sure whats going on.....Need to start cooking for the next holiday so going to start my challah...need to make 3 batches.....will check in later....and will wait till at least dinner time to start pouring the wine.

Hi DorK! I know....where did ebberyone go? Hope we didn't chase dem off! Nah, let Lisa sleep, as long as she doesn't sleep in the hot tub! Ya know, do ya member when I got my blood work and found out my B12 levels were OVER double what they should be? Me tinks dats why me has had soooo much energy this past year! So until the new 2500mg B12 arrives (or maybe its 2500mcg?), I have taken the 6000mg(?) every other day. The days I take it, I am like the energizer bunny. The days I skip, well....my energy really lags. Also saw the dr on tv today who said B12 can help with memory (yay!). Darn......I finished my pau hana....gotta stop at 2, or I would go all night!!! Good way to wash the blinds....lol. That would be kewl if you got a movie started about Chrissyb's journey across the US and meeting up with soooo many bc girls! Awesome.

*ka-chink*, toasting to you too, Dork! (Except my glass is now empty .....)

Hi LadieZ,

Just dropping in quickly as have had a whirlwind weekend.  Finished the crash and burn assignment for a new client, and she is thrilled.  YAY!!!!

Plus, I hit the wine bar Friday evening, did a 50 mile ride yesterday with 1800' of elevation climb.  Did a 30 mile mostly flat one today on one of my favorite routes.  Slid into church in the AM.

Finally got a soak in the tub as muscles were complaining.  Yesterday's ride was a new route, and the most fab view of the Green River Gorge at the midpoint.  Plus we coasted back from a lunch (needed real food). 

I have to get back and work on something I promised a friend/potential business colleague of mine.  So signing off.  Hoping everyone has a great evening. - Claire

Kathy such beautiful pictures! I like.

Scubs, can you call Robin and ask her? when you can? 

Me tinks me going to bed now, lonnnnnng day, can't dwink no mo. CheerZ!

Quick pop in for a drink, wanted to tell you all that my dear friend Cindy passed away shortly after 11 pm last night. I just got the cal. It is going to be a sad day at the office. Please all, make each day count, we never know what the next day will bring.  I pray that it does not hit any of uss but that FN rat bastard is FN evil and I am mad. Sorry to be a downer. Love you chicks. 

Dear Dorothy, I am so very sorry to hear that Cindy has passed, and am thinking of the pain and sadness her family is feeling,as well as you and all her friends and coworkers. Even though she is in a better place now, it does not take away the heartache you are feeling. Can only imagine the sadness hanging over all of you at work today. Today was the day I married my late husband, 31 years ago...made me sad when I woke up as it was on my mind. So I feel especially sad for Cindy's husband and her children, if she had any. God Bless You today and bring you comfort. (((HUGS)))

NM, Yummmmm, think I will join you at the mimosa fountain after my Irish Coffee....then to devour that huge buffet! NO, don't check your posts over b4 posting, they are all SUPERB!!! So glad you had a wonderful time w/ your high school alums! Sounded like a MAHVELOUS time, and am glad you were able to take the weekend off. Especially being a full-moon weekend! That cartoon of the baby being baptized was sooooo funny! Wonder if anyone really would say that....nah.....hope not!

Thinking of all you girlz today, and wish I could take the pain/sadness away from those that are hurting today. But I can't do that, but do have you all in my heart. DorK, especially thinking of you today.

Love n Hugs,

Kathy

Scuby, good luck at your BS appt. Thanks......he has been gone over 19 yrs, and I have been remarried, will be 14 yrs next month. But my late DH was my soul mate, so I think of him every day, and miss him. What day in Nov is your anniv? YES, next year you can do the Galapagos! And who knows....maybe the GBR too!!! Cheerio!
