how about drinking?

How neat, Lori!!! I don't recognize the guy in the bottom picture though.....good eye candy! Pants is making up some more coffee as dose dwinks are going fast!!!

I need to get up and get movin, as have my pre-op at the hospital today.

Chrissy, someday I will get to Oz, maybe 2013? Need at least 2 weeks, maybe 3, plus lots of moolah!



In the interim, the UFO it is, after we head to see Wahine in Bama. The bottom guy with Lori's step DD is from the Mark Harmon NCIS series. Agree, not too shabby to look at! Lori, she's got a great smile, like you, that's neat!



Later...

Good morning, Loungettes! Just got back from having blood draw (for cholesterol and liver function) didn't pass out, so it was a good draw! Still wish there was a better to way to do all this needle stuff.

Mrs. Vino--Hooray for the new nipples! My PS described making nipples as "skin origami" which I thought was kind of funny. I'd probably need way more than 0.5 of xanax to be able to lie still knowing I was getting cut on!

DorK--First step is to call and make an appointment with the dentist. That will be for months from now, unless things have changed there a lot. I suppose I could make the appointment and then forget about it for a while. I don't mind the eye doctor stuff, probably because I've needed glasses or contacts since I started school. After a prescription update I can usually see so much better that it's worth the dilating thing. Besides, getting my eyes dilated is a good excuse to come home and take a nap!

Wahine--why would any of US take a lamp shade from your room in Tunica??????
Sounds like you have a great doc, and a keeper! Have fun in Lala Land!

Stella-- you do know how to have a good time! Want some company????

DorK--neat plate, was it in PINK????

Beanie--got the tenders moving the percotini fountain over next to you. What you done to yourself that you are needed the percotini fountain?????

Karen--YES, weather can make sinus headaches worse. When the sinuses get blocked and then the barometric pressure drops (like when a storm is coming in) the air and mucus trapped in the sinuses expands and causes pressure. The pressure causes PAIN. Been through that, not fun. Glad things are better at home.

Chrissy--I am so upset that the rat ba$tard got your cussin. It's not fair! It's wrong! Am glad the knee surgery got moved up, though. Maybe we need to start a dental phobia support group here in the lounge. We can experiment and find out which dwinks are the best for dealing with the dentistry stuff??

Goldie--your step DD is beautiful!

Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is the Kill the Rat Ba$tard

1 oz Orange Vodka
3/4 oz Raspberry Liqueur
1 oz Raspberry Vodka
Cranberry Juice
Orange Juice

Directions
Pour liquors into an ice-filled hurricane glass. Fill with equal parts of orange and cranberru juice. Shake, garnish with two cherries, and serve. 

Not Mark Harmon....Michael Wetherly from NCIS. Harmon is much older, but easy on the eye as well!

Chrissy, that is my step daughter. Here is my baby and her DH.

OMG Lori, talk about gorgeous!!!! That one knocks your socks off!! Her hubby is a bit of a honey too. Must say, your DD has good taste.



NM I'm with you for sure when it comes to needing a dentist support group.....lol. Love the DOTD!!!!



Think I'll head to the bar and get me a couple of the kill the rat b@st@rd before I head off to bed. It's 3.00am here so I'd best try to get some sleep. Have a great day all!!



TITZ UP!!!!!

Chrissy....hooray for good news on the knee replacement.....D*** on your cousin haven't to join this sisterhood....but I'm sure you send her our way....does she live close to you?

Goldie....your kids are so handsome and pretty.....not to be dumb, but I don't know either guy with your  step DD

Don't mind the dentist....but mine is pretty gentle and does a good job numbing....its the sound of the drill that drives me nuts...thankfully her waiting room is a large area outside the office....its a dental arts bldg and there are 4 practices on her floor who share a waiting area....so I don't have to hear the drill on someone else while waiting.....but I do keep a tight fist......she just got a new hygienist who isn't too bad...but I loved the one who retired....was soooo gentle.....I had to have some major work done right after Dx before I started chemo......and now have some teeth that are holding out for major work....but don't want to do it before I have to.....And like NM, I don't mind eye exams, but my eye doc doesn't dilate eyes....checks pressure some other way.....only reason I like going is so I can get new frames!!!!

Today is the calm before the storm......it is supposed to snow starting around dinner time and into tomorrow....6 - 12 inches predicted....lets see how the weather man does.....A good day to stay home and cook....my girlfriend is coming for shabbat dinner...then its just us.....not sure if DS is home and DD may have dinner with her synagogue youth group, but she won't go if the weather is bad....we don't want to get her in lots of snow....and remember its walking.....so for now, I'd say she'll be home with us.....

Tomorrow is 6 years from Dx.....had my first set of biopsies 6 years ago today.....left pretty sure it was cancer....especially when I said to rad onc, "I don't know how I will tell my DD#1 (she has just gone back to 2nd sememster the beginning of the week) and rad onc said "you'll have to tell her, and the nurses her can help you.....now if thats not a clue of what was to come.....she could have said you'll cross that bridge.....I did not sleep that night at all....and I was a wreck worry how to tell her when she was in Chicago and we were in Denver....that is a whole other story in itself......will tell you another time.....Last year at 5 years, got a sweet picture from DD#2 and voice message from DS (DH told him the date).....but don't know if much will get made of the date tomorrow....DD#2 knows the date.....today is my SIL's 30th b'day.....so DD#2 and I were talking dates yesterday.....I'm happy to be here 6 years later, but I will celebrate later this month when I see my onc and get confirmation that I'm still NED...I am not the person I was 6 years ago and still trying to figure out how to get her back....if she can find her way home.....it has big implications for so many things/people in my life!!!  Well....damn.....if I could only cry!!!

Its ironic....as bad as this past week has been....I haven't had any wine in real time.......just haven't felt like it......

Well.....I have some errands I need to get done today....its just after 11 here in Denver and I have till 4 when I pick up DD and carpool from school......so I best get off the computer......Have a good day!!

Awwwwww Beansie, we can't have you down in da dumps. You iz tooo sweet for dat! I love all the pics you posted....no excuse for us not to be where we need to! Glad you are here partaying wid us tho, and hope after enuf wodka, you will feel mucho bettah. Love and Hugs to you, dear friend! The guy in the top photo is JR Martinez, and he got burned badly in Iraq, lost an ear (or 2?), was in a coma, etc...some buddies got killed in that explosion too I think, You can google him, or look at this link http://abcnews.go.com/Health/LivingWithPain/jr-martinez-burn-recovery-coma-dancing-stars/story?id=14693411. But then some music comes on. ANYWAY he went on to be on Dancing with the Stars,and I think he even won. I watched it but watch so mannnny shows I foiget. He inspired so many other burn victims to not give up. He went on to become a tv actor after his burn injuries. Really a great guy! OK now, you get better, ok??? Pwetty pwease????

Karen, Yeah sounds like a real lotta snow heading your way. Hope you got all stocked wid likker and food! Be sure to stay safe!! Glad your 6 yrs is tomorrow...you've come a long way. I agree, none of us are the same. But for me I also think it is aging, and then gaining weight that changed me. Prolly from getting bc, but I wonder if it might have happened anyway? Since I am not on meds for bc, I feel it is my fault I have gained so much weight.

NM, I wish you could have had the nurse I had today. When she drew blood, I could hardly feel it. During the pre-op, I kept getting funcused, since I have surgery on Tues, and then a procedure at another hospital with another dr on Friday. My head is spinning!
Well, we wondered why my parents water bill & sewer bill has been sky high the past 2 months or longer ($80/month), with no one even there. We think there is a leak underground, and even though we have had tons of rain, some areas seemed even more drenched. Plus we could hear water "hissing" at one shower. And that house is on a slab, so am so hoping it isn't going to be too expensive to get it fixed. Yuck. If it isn't one thing, it is ten. DH has his physical tomorrow, then starts going to the dr weekly for shots in his knee (that the Delta gal ran into with the cart). I think he has another dr appt next week too. AArrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! And as Junie would say.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ok girlz, it is close to Pau Hana time in Central zone. It is actually dwinking time where Dorkie and Scooby, and NM are!!! Of course, I know.....ANYTIME is dwinking time!!! WooHoo!!!!

Suck 'em Up,

Kathy Wahine Mahine

Youse needs ta account back ta us, ya see. And Dorkie will tail ebberyting to us, as we hab her back. Safe travels Stella!!!!

Halllooooooo, anyone in de lounge? 4:15 am here, dese damn hot flashing/night sweat hits ain't letting me sleep... Just checking in.



Beans, thanks for managing the fleet, luv de UFO's, so useful for criss crossing the globe... Don't like da balloons though, DH and I got a ride in one as a gift, the driver (or whateber you call him), ran the balloon into the top of a tree, we almost got dumped out...)! Anyways...



DorKy, so wishing you didn't hab a cold, puleez take care of yourself, make sure Stella gives you lots of juice, K?



Well, gonna try and get some sleep... Cheers.

Scuby, you made me laugh talkin about the balloon driver. Hmmm, wonder what the word would be for that guy. Yikes, I am with you, will not be doing that anytime soon. Have you tried opening a window or putting a fan on? That seems to help me through most nights although I still wake up all sweaty now and then. I feel your pain.

Juliet, sorry for only cyber dwinking, that stinks. Hope you feel better soonliest. A cold will not keep me down. I am going to work and going to kick this thing. 

I waiting for de Stella, mese foyget what time she coming home. Can't wait to see her. 

Gotta get moving goils...to all a berry happy and dwunkedy fried-dey! CheerS!

Thank you goyles, for the compliments on my girls. Especially MINE and her hubby.

Oh dear DorK, I am afraid I am too late to hide the phone, as I am just now getting the news. No wonder she kept taking the phone into the bathroom! And I knew NOTHING about the lamp shades, honest. (innocent, I tell ya) Stella will be leaving this morning. She sayed she did not want to go to Wal Mart.

Karen, one guy is JR. He served our country and stepped on mine field, or something, and was burned very badly. He also did Dancing with the Stars. Super nice guy. The other guy plays on NSIC, or something like that. I do not watch that show. (I see Kathy is ‘splaining too) Congrats on your 6 years, praying for NED results. Also hoping you don't get buried in that white chit. We got some overnight, just enough to make for a muddy drive to town. Just heard on the news, you could get 2'!!!

Beans, I no understand why you have to do your website all over? When is your time up, and I will see if I can save it for you. Do you have access to all of the pictures, and how many pages do you have. So sorry for you goilies that are having these mood swings with all the crying, depression and biotchiness. I guess I will thank my lucky stars, I did not get that. Love all the fleets.

Kathy, I totally think age has something to do with things. Our metabolisms change, but then I think the meds plays a role in it too. Well, I know it does! Shore hope the water problem isn't too big.

Oh shoot Dork. Sawwy you is sick. You want me to keep Stella a little longer? She might be a comfort to you tho too.

OMG Scuby, your balloon story is horrid. I don't blame you for not liking them! I had a bad experience on a horse, thought for sure he was gonna toss me down the side of a mountain in the Grand Tetons. As for the hot flashes and night sweats, been dealing with them for over 3 years now. I am up probably every hour from one or the other.

Juliet, you feel better too. Gheesh, so many goils wif a bug.

Pretty pretty pictures NM. But I no likey snow! I do not miss it at all, and we have had more snow here in AZ than my family in MI! You are another "tired" one. Have you had YOUR thyroid levels checked? I sure hate to make suggestions to you "the nurse". But I'm sure you are aware of this? I have the cholesterol issues too. All of this, I am told from either rads or Arimidex. I guess you wouldn't have gotten Stella on the phone, since that is NOT what she was doing. See DorK's post!

I am heading to da shower, and I will get Stella up when I am done, so she can get ready to go  home.

LUB the Germ Eradicator, hail, you would think that would kill anything, ever the Rat Ba$tard! (I wish)

CHEERZ DeerZ

Goldie, Have a good day in town....hope you can get there/back safely with dat snow making a muddy mess. Also hoping Stella will not get in ANY more trouble and you can send her safely home to Dorkster. What an experience you had with her! She did not answer my PM though....

Scoobs, Yikes! What a scare!!! WHen we did our hot air balloon ride in AZ (with Champagne and bfast after), it was SO mild. Ya see, there was a BAD accident the day before, where some people died, it was also in AZ. So my DH was scared shitless (can I write that?) as he hates heights to begin with, and was just doing that for me. SO I think all the hot air balloon companies were super-careful that day, and took us waaaaaay out and didn't go as high...no trees around! IT was fun though, and I spent the time hanging out the side, taking pictures. My DH was somewhere in the middle of the basket, trying not to look out!!! As for the hot flashes, omg we can all identify with that! ALSO, do you have a memory foam mattress? They really hold in the heat...they have that at the casinos we stay at and it gets SO hot. Keep a small folding fan by your bed, maybe a glass of ice water tooo? Well the others had good ideas too! I keep the house very cool at night, and DH just uses more layers!

Oh yeah Beansie, I sure hope you can recover all that website stuff. That sucks, after all that hard work. I know nothing of all of that, but hope Lori might be able to help. BEST of luck with that! Hoping you are feeling okay today!

NM, Glad your PCP's nurse can stick you without pain...what a difference that makes! YES, homeownership comes with the problems doesn't it. And we have 4 places to worry about, so there is always something. I am surprised our plumber DID NOT call back last night....but DH is heading to his physical, so will have to make more calls when he gets home. THeir yard is so beautiful there (parents), that I hate to even see that front yard all dug up....I guess that would have to be done though. Such a gawgeous, sparkling picture you posted!

Karen, are you okay with all that snow? How much did you get? Hope you are feeling better!

Dorkie, Hope you can get better soon and are not overdoing it by going in to work! I know you will be glad (?) to get Stella back today....and mese tinks she shud weally weally do things for YOU and take care of you so you can west. And if I WOCK, den youse WOCK AND WOLL! lol.

Lets make pitchers of the Germ Eradicator Dwinks!!! Actually they are soooooo strong, I think just one will knock me out! Guess thats appropriate to get fried on FRIED-DEY.....

ChEARS! Chairs! Tables!

Kath
