I really worry about you! I thought you americans didn't have a warped sense of humour like we do?......I was apparently wrong.

Question.... How do I teach my poor remaining (Yes Remaining!) fishes to smoke....Underwater????????

Moopster........Sort 'im out luv.........

Huge Hugs to you both (and the dogs) Jxxxxxxxxx

Exciting for you, maybe.

You'll probably pour a couple of shots of vodka in the poor fishies' tank to welcome them to the family and wind up teaching them how to smoke and play cards.

I'm with Pammy

I will be having a quiet weekend. My white blood cells are wa-a-a-y low for the last two weeks. I was ordered to steer clear of crowds and any sick people. So I will relax at home playing on the Internet and watching "Kill Bill". I love martial arts movies and this one is pretty cool, the women are kicking the most butt.

Chen - wish you the best of luck on your 2nd 1/2 marathon. I can't wait to follow those footsteps. Of course I need to break the 200# mark before I'm even ready for a 1/4 walking marathon. LOL But someday I'll get there. Sending you fleet feet and all that stamina you'll need. Post results. We're cheering for you. Lola

Love the new pic Margo

Mimi So exciting on so many

Mimi
So exciting on so many levels. Ovaries coming back is great. Goodbye hot flashes. Good visits planned with old friends, wonderful. But the biggy is the returning to something that you are obviously passionate about. Film school, how marvelous. I don't know if it is true with you, but when I first had cancer I felt like why bother planning a future. It seemed so bleak. Then as I progressed through my treatments, I began to see that there was hope but still wasn't excited about much. It took some time and I don't remember exactly when it kicked in that I had a future, each day was a piece of it. And when my daughter married and had her children I saw how fulfilling my life was. I have a great hubby, great daughter, great SIL, and postively beautiful grandchildren. I realized that being a grandma was a dream for me and I had them. It's when I knew that I would fight this disease with all my being and that I would try my best to cherish each day. So maybe by the journaling (isn't it a great release) you have set your heart and mind free (as much as we can) of this beast and know that you have a future and you want to fill it with all of your talent. It's like reaching the peak of a huge mountain and seeing the incredible view and knowing that the climb down will be gentler than the climb up. So happy you are going to fulfill this dream. Keep us posted. And when you accept the academy award remember to say all our names.

fun filled weekend!

I have friends from Colorado here, same ones who came for the Komen walk.
We went to the fair Thurdsay, Zoo yesterday and in about an hour we will be going up in a balloon!
Probably a museum visit this afternoon and dinner at Rustler's Roost or another place with a beautiful view! Then its back to the usual...

I am snuggling in bed and not coming out till I absolutely have to. I don't see any reason all weekend why I would have to. ♥Pammy

I didn't get my computer out at the chemo center but as with you, everything went smoothly. Now to see which if any s/e shows up first. Just got home to pick up the stuff that goes to my daughter's house. Thinking about you. Will post more later today. Lola

So glad you got some great laughs in today. That really is the best medicine, isn't it?

And I wanted to wish you the best tomorrow on your half marathon. I'm so impressed with anyone that can do that kind of event! And I hope your artistic unveiling is all that you hope it will be.

Have a wonderful time!

My weekend started a bit

chenheart — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:12:51 -0500

My weekend started a bit early~ last night my niece/daughter and I went to see the stand up comic Sinbad here in town. OMG~ we laughed till we cried and then we laughed some more! He is soooo flippin funny and is topical and hilarious wihtout ever ever cussing or using vernacular for body parts. We had the pleasure of being invited backstage after the show to meet and laugh with him. So so so much fun! LOL

This afternoon my niece/daughter and I went out to lunch and sipped a glass of wine while having grilled cajun shrimp skewers, afterwhich we went for mani-pedis.

But tomorrow morning is my BIG EVENT~ I am doing my 2nd half marathon...wish me luck, everyone! The weather has been cool and breezy in the mornings; I am hoping tomorrow is the same. After the marathon Reggie and I are going to the official unveiling of a year long project...some of our artist friends ( native americans) were commissioned to make a sidewalk mosaic depicting the history of the Tribe. It has been a collaborative labor of love and we are anxious to see the end result.

I am soo proud of you Mimi~following your heart and your dreams. As well you should!

Hugs,
C♥

Weekend Plans

tommaseena — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:29:03 -0500

Home alone tonight--talked a long time with my first love of high school--he is such a good friend--too bad he's married.

Saturday-working overtime for a few hours and then going to a friends daughter wedding and reception.

Sunday--if the snow melts I will have to rake the leaves. Jake to Sunday school.

Oh--started my week off. Getting mind together on Monday and surgery on Tuesday and then on Wednesday Jake is in a Veterans' Day parade with his cub scouts and then I will rest the rest of the week.

ROLL CALL: who's ready for the weekend?!

OK, so, something is going on with my hormones. This may be TMI, but I can feel my ovaries slowly cranking back up. The evidence of this is my suddenly brightened mood, as though a veil has been lifted, and the abrupt decline of hot flashes. It's like, it happened in one day. Very weird, but welcome. Sooo, to celebrate:

Tonight, Simon and I will be going to dinner at an Italian restaurant in Arlington and then seeing "An Education" at the local independent movie theater.

Tomorrow, I have the usual personal training. Saturday evening we'll be visiting an old friend from law school, her husband, and their toddler at their house. We'll probably order food and just catch up. I haven't really spoken to her since my diagnosis last year.
