how about drinking?

Lori, that is indeed what I have. I have both the mascara (black) and the tinted primer (brown) which comes in a lighter silver-colored tube.The primer is good enough that I save the black mascara for formal wear or photo shoots. I got the full sizes of both at Ulta, and the travel sizes of both at larger Sephora stores Ulta has the travel size of the mascara. I think when my mascara "expires" at 3 months, and I don't have a fresh tube, I will buy only the travel sizes. For $10, I can afford to toss them at 3 months if I haven't used them up by then.
I hope all goes well with your mom and you get a good visit with her--sounds like she hadn't been well-oxygenated before she perked up again. And I hope that now that the gov't is reopening, it stays open and the air traffic controllers get paid by the time you have to fly. We'll make our trip to Vegas next Fri. (if SW can keep all the planes at Midway de-iced). But NOLA in March--and my Amsterdam/Israel trip--is still a huge "???".
Cami, I hear you about not wearing anything on your skin. I look like a corpse (with occasional red blotches) when I have a naked face. And since I have to wear sunscreen outdoors in daylight anyway, I use Bare Minerals "Complexion Rescue" (SPF30) in "Vanilla 02" in summer and "Birch 1.5" the rest of the year when my skin's paler anyway. I had originally been told by the "war-paint" lady at Macy's to use "Opal 01," but it's just too pale--they only recently added the "Birch 1.5," which corresponds to the powder version's "Fairly Light." I ditched the powder stuff when my skin stopped being oily. (Sephora sells the travel size in "Vanilla 02" at their impulse-buy aisle by the checkout, for $15 (sometimes reduced to $10). I apply it with a "CC cream" brush (Elf's is around $5, Sephora's or Ulta's is about $10--the Bare Minerals ones are too pricy) rather than my fingers or a sponge--the brush gives more even coverage with only a couple of drops of the stuff.
I've gotten to an age where concealer doesn't do much under my eyes, as the skin there is so thin that the veins beneath poke through. (In that photo, what looks like a smudge under my unlit eye is actually a shadow from the edge of the undereye bag--the more concealer or corrector I put on it, the starker the contrast). That's one reason I prefer to wear glasses, even though I don't need them for distance. Frames, even clear ones, cover up a lot of flaws (which is why I stopped wearing rimless glasses).
Wow--four paragraphs and no DOTD! I did give in and pour myself a couple ounces of chardonnay (the 2015 Fess Parker in the fridge) with dinner last night--but as soon as I finished the crab cakes I stopped drinking it and left the remaining ounce for Bob to have as a nightcap. I've gotten to the point where I consider wine a food--and I don't drink it without a paired food (except for bubbly).

Greetings from San Diego. At the poolside bar prior to my spa treatment

Kim - preliminary congratulations. Job sounds fantastic & sooo exciting. Hope everything goes smoothly.

Happy Friday night to all!
The job gets better and better. While the pay sounds great, it is wonderful to have the tools to do a good job and the support of administration. Makes for a win-win-win!!!! Saw where Lake Michigan was ‘steaming’ today. COLD 💨 There is a forecast for snow here in Columbia, SC on Tuesday night. Should be gone early Wednesday. People will still buy all the bread, milk and batteries in the area starting on Monday!
I have started using a bronzer from Ulta when I go out without full makeup. Gives you a warmer look and can cover some imperfections. I am getting some acne that I think is related to the steroids. Irritating to get that at 65. Learning how to draw eyebrows has been a challenge. When I where a cap or scarf, the eyebrows are visible, so I try to make them show up. With the wig, the bangs cover them.
Went for an infusion today. BP was 118/50. Good, but down from what was normal 134/90. I will ask the Oncologist if I need to chat with my Internist about continuing the Losartan Hzct. My WBC are going down again as well. I am adding several foods to the diet in an attempt to bring things up. Citrus, broccoli, salmon, ginger, turmeric and yogurt. More smoothies! Will have to ask the Oncologist about adding any vitamins.
Drinking a merlot tonight as it is chilly outside and we had steak for dinner. Husband is watching Live PD while I catch up on my visiting via the Internet. If I didn’t have stage IV cancer I would say life is good. It really is good even though I have this new reality.
Stay warm and healthy!

cami - you make me laugh!! I am usually upbeat and try to make the best of each situation. So my hernia is NOT a hernia, he is thinking inflamed diverticulitis cells on my small intestine or some such, nothing to fuss about (he is NOT experiencing my symptoms!!) anyway, I will accept his dx . Going for a colonscopy in March so may hear more then, though I certainly hope not
goldie - so very sad to hear about your mom, distance is so hard - my mom lives in Brunswick, GA now, so going to see her and dad February 27, right now she is holding her own which is good, then off to the west coast of florida - Sarasota, which is where my son and his family live; we will be there till March 21, then home to Alberta
Mistyeyes - was hoping it was closer to Sarasota or even Frostproof where my sister is, but Hoomassa is wayyyy the other way
Muddling - sorry to hear about your dad, as I said to goldie, the distance is so very difficult
JCS - glad you like your wig,I ore mine for the same reason, when I did not want to look like a cancer patient! I was a high school Librarian for 22 years, reitred and got cancer, bleh!
chi - love the lashes and belated birthday wishes
NM - sounds like a fantastic opportunity and I am sure that Sadie does not tire from you blabbering to her, she is dancing the happy dance for sure!
illi - hope all is well with warm water too
Hi Jazzy, Lom, CeliaC and everyone else - have a great weekend, yayyyyyyyy NO football... Cheers!

We have a BCO "alumna," LovesToFly (Jill from Toronto), who has actually done YouTube makeup tutorials illustrating how she faked eyebrows while experiencing chemo-related hair loss.

Cami, we don't bring up the creamation with my mom, she does have a plot, but we won't be using it. She did tell me at one point that she didn't care what we did, but then reverted back to being buried. We will all just share some ashes. I'm pretty sure it's the FU pills that make my eyes red. And as for scans, I don't have results yet, is that what you meant?
Muddling, I too am sorry to hear about your dad. It's horrible being so far away. I hate seeing my mom like this, so I know it will be for the best when she does transition over. I have to keep reminding myself, she is NOT going to get better. I'm going to miss her terribly, I am her only girl and I have 3 brothers. I pray she can hold on until I get there. I just want to hold her and tell her how much I love her and how much I am going to miss her, and that I will see her on the other side one day. She does not know of my stage IV cancer.
Sandy, govt. shutdown never entered my mind about flying....yikes! I hope everything will be ok! Your skin sounds like mine, blotchy, fair and then throw in a face full of freckles! Hate looking pasty.I should go to one of those places that will do your make-up, I assume hoping you will buy the product, but I'm too vain to go in somewhere w/o make up on! I feel so ugly! Funny you will wear clear glasses as a cover up and I'm just the opposite, I HATE wearing my glasses and always take them off for pictures.
Jazzy, I just know you are enjoying yourself and time with your sister. OMG, what a gorgeous sunset!
JCS, I too like Live PD. Love the cop shows and also Untold Stories in ER, Body Bizarre, any of those kinds of shows. Sounds like you might be able to wean off BP meds. I'm not a fan of yogurt, but would force it down in the mornings to take my FU pills, since I only take 2, lately I've just been taking them with my coffee. I so need to find something that will cover up mese freckles! I never did draw on any eyebrows, they were light to begin with so I just used some eye shadow.
Janky, Cami makes us all laff! Hoping your heiny scope doesn't show anything significant. LOL at "yay, no football". I'm not into any kind of sports. You must be looking forward to hitting GA and FL for the winter months! Is your mom ill? How old?
Went to the movies yesterday, saw Aquaman. It was ok, I would have much rather seen it in 3D, it was a good movie for that. Wishing everyone stays warm, Baby it's cold outsie! Especially you Illinois gals and you too NM. I know my family in MI is getting some cold temps too.
Cheers!
DOTH-ICE COLD COCKTAIL
It's the real name of the drink, but has a summery feel and oh so pretty. However, I have no idea what a "tot" is.
1 tot Vodka
2 tots Pimm's
2 tots Bols Blue
2 tots Grenadine
100 ml Orange juice
200 ml Coke- In a blender blitz coke and Pimm's with lots of ice to form a thick slush puppy. Spoon the ice mixture into a large glass.
- Rinse the blender and put in orange juice and vodka, blitzing to form the same consistency and spoon on top of coke mixture.
- Rinse blender and blitz grenadine with about 5 blocks of ice before spooning the mixture on top of the orange layer.
- Rinse blender and repeat the process with the Bols Blue, spooning on top as the final layer.
- Garnish with pineapple piece and umbrella.
-
Oops, forgot a few things.
First and foremost, my LDB-MemaSue. I hope you are doing ok after your surgery and pain is minimal. I love you!
Then, the mascara. I'm not impressed. Doesn't seem to do any more than my $8.00 pink/green tube of Mabeline mascara. Here is a pic I took yesterday. Only showing it so big so that you can see all the freckles, not to mention the wrinkles around the mouth! Gosh, maybe I DO look 60.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday! Sadie and I were terribly lazy yesterday, so we need to get on the ball and do some housework today. Sadie is so good at emptying trash cans and sorting the recyclables from the other stuff. Then she uses the recyclables as toys. Some days I think I pick up the same trash a dozen times! Still, she's so happy and proud of herself when she finds a new "toy" that I can't stay mad at her. I see the Federal shut down is over for the moment, but I wonder what's going to happen in 3 weeks. And what is going to happen to all the unpaid workers in the long term? And how, as a plan ol' citizen, can I have any effect on making sure it doesn't happen again?
Cammy--Good Morning!Sounds like a busy day for you and the guys. I bet people are relieved when one of the guys shows up.
Chi--I wish the trend of using glasses as a fashion statement had been going on when I was growing up.I started wearing glasses when I started school and hated it. I was always being teased and told I couldn't do things, either because my glasses might get knocked off and broken, or because wearing glasses meant I couldn't see well enough to do whatever. I was so happy to get into contacts as an adult.
Jazzy--Ah, a pool side bar!Almost as good as a swim up bar!
Thank you, MinusTwo!
Librarian--the job is a win-win-win situation, and I am holding my breath waiting for the background and reference checks and getting the formal offer! It's going to be a pretty big change going back to full time work, but it will be a good change. Looks like you are going to get the blood pressure lowering effect from the chemo, that's a good thing if you can get off the other blood pressure med. Good luck with keeping the white cell count up. That takes a lot of work.And life can be good, even with the rat ba$#ard in our lives.Glad life is good for you right now!
I'm jealous, Jazzy!
Janky--Sadie was doing a lot of dancing the other day. She does seem to have lots of patience with my babbling, as long as there are tummy rubs involved from time to time!
Goldie--Out of curiosity I did an internet search on how much a "tot" is.Looks like it's a European measurement, some sources say 1 tot = 25 ml, some say 1 tot = 1 shot, but isn't so clear about that being a 1 ounce shot or a 2 ounce shot.
-
Jazzy, that martini looks like the ones I like - mostly olives! Wonder if I can have one for brunch this morning, ha ha
Cold here with colder days to come. It's not unusual. It is January.

Mornin' ladies,
Kim I have to apologize to u, some how I didn't read about ur new job, but bits and pieces have put it together and now I am really happy for u. but full time, again if u like what u do that's all that counts and whatever u do u'll outshine anyone else. Ur an amazing compassionate woman with the best sidekick since Tonto.
Lori u r always beautiful, oh now I've tried a few mascaras, but Sandy's looks really good. But still not long enough for me, IDK why u'd think I'd be happy for anything, but being Italian hair has always been something we were never short of, including lashes. I'm terrible about this I remember when I'd wear sunglasses and had to move them down cuz my lashes would hit them, now there's nothing there, so my mission is just as important as Luke Skywalker finding his father. And someone did say "LUKE I AM UR FATHER" and I'll say MASCARA I FOUND YOU. But Lori I'm sure Benefit might really work well. Freckles, ur so cute.
Sandy that was a great tip for wearing makeup and using stuff for eyebrows too.
OK Janky u are all part of my medical team so I can go back to Drs. and tell them what to do...oh yea they roll their eyes but I don't care. I was told I had 3 hernias and u can see them, but as long as they are stable they're leaving them alone, so I figured u'd give me an answer, LOL
These damn phones keep ringing. I come back and loose my train of thought. Do not say a word about my train.
Oh I'd better go for now, but I'll be baaack.
LUBS U ALL

Hello ladies - it's been awhile since I have checked in. I do enjoy reading everyone's posts. I am so impressed with how well many of you have kept up with each other, some for quite some time. I can tell you are like family.
I live on the NC/SC border (Charlotte city limits is just across the bridge) so we don't get a lot of severe cold and nasty weather that some of you get in the winter. We've had a ton of rain though. Lots of dreary days. I'm already ready for spring, though I know I shouldn't complain.
JCS - Columbia isn't that far from me. We should meet some time!
Dealing with aging parents is really hard. I was heavily involved my both of my parents care, but I was in my mid-late 40's and healthy. I can't imagine doing it while fighting cancer. Goldie, I hope your mom makes it til you get there.
I start radiation on Monday for the next 4 weeks. I had my trial run Thursday and it went pretty well. Several of my friends have told me it's no big deal. Hope that will be my experience. I didn't have chemo, so I'm grateful for not already be dealing with fatigue before I even start.
It's after 5 and it's Saturday, so time for a glass of wine!
Cheers and Happy Weekend!

Got down to -4 last night, we're at today's high of 13. Of course, that means more snow. Sigh. Not going anywhere tlll Tues., but it's gonna be brutal out there. Even walking from the parking lot to the mall will be like torture. We are supposed to have a high of 4 on Wed. and a low of -11; Thurs. -4 and -17, respectively. We have an 11:20 am flight out of Midway Fri., and will have to be bundled up like Eskimos (guess that's un-PC) till we get inside the terminal. Hope my boarding pass is TSAPre, so I can keep my UGGs on. We are taking an extra empty suitcase just for our winter outerwear (thank heaven SW allows 2 free bags each).
Tonight will be last night's leftovers, plus Mongolian beef & rice Bob is bringing home from the office's lunch. DOTD will be, like last night, a splash of Louis Martini Cab. Sauv.

Phew - where does the day go?! Saturday night, did not do too much, yet I am pooped! Enjoying a nice cold lager though
My hernia is not a hernia - it may be inflamed diverticuli, so will know more after my colonoscopy end of March...The surgeon was really thorough though and reassured me that my most recent scan of January 9 showed no organ involvement!! which is what my RO had said as well, so I was not that concerned.goldie - I am not the greatest sports fan either. My mom has dementia which is slowly progressing to her current state of moderate, she has really good days, then really NOT good days' she is 86 and dad is 88 and getting tired. They live in a seniors residence which will have space for mom when the time comes, but it is exhausting for him day in day out. I have not told them of my stage iv diagnosis as mom will not really understand and dad has more than enough on his plate - Not to sound callous but I am truly hoping to outlive them so it does not affect them.
Hubby and I are going to watch 'A star is born', eat popcorn, then off to bed early, not sure why I am so pooped?! BTW - I enjoy live PD and border security - what strange things people try to get away with! Have a great weekend Cheers!
-
We watched "Roma" last night. The exposition was excruciatingly slow, probably to show off the B&W cinematography. There didn't even seem to be a plot till half an hour in. I expected an "oh, so THAT's why it's so great" moment as in "Moonlight." In retrospect it was very good, but IMHO not Best Picture material. The critics are raving as if it were the best B&W film since "Z." But critics don't vote in the Oscars.
You'll love "A Star is Born."
-
NM, I always type in note pad, then copy/paste to our thread. However, I didn't highlight far enough, so what I wrote to you didn't get posted! Here is what I had written yesterday morning.
NM, I'm ecstactic for you, to say the least. I guess the only thing I question is the fact that it's full time, and you have really enjoyed the PT. Is that gonna be ok for you? Otherwise, I think you might have this one bagged! It's gonna be a looooooooong week!Prissy, you can get fatigue from radiation. Mine always hit at the end of the week. Be sure to rest if it hits you, or you will be worse off. It didn't bother me getting it, but it burned my breast and I had second degree burn and maybe some third degree. I believe NM was burnt too.
Janky, it's always been my hope as well, to outlive my parents. My dad passed last year, and he did not know of my health either, however he had very bad alzeimers. Mom has dimentia, but lots of other issues as well. Very obese, copd (which is really what did her in) high BP, diabetes, fibromialgia, herniated discs in her back, geeze what else? Oh A fib. I'll have to look up border security, haven't seen that one.
Sandy, haven't seen any of those movies.
Now Cami, you know there is no apologizing here. I too can remember my eyelashes hitting my glasses. I have to wear sunglasses now, because my eyes are so sensitive to the sunlight, and of course I don't look good in sun glasses either. And because I can't see, I wear sunglasses over the top of my perscription glassses. Guess I should break down and get a pair of prescription sun glasses eh? LOL at us being part of your medical team. Ya, tell the doctors we are trying to encourage you to drink!!!
Muddling, I too like olives and their good on burgers too. When we go to Laughlin, hubby gets bloody marys in the morning and I get his olives, he doesn't like them. I just get vodka and tomato, with olives in it too. So pretty much olives for breakfast!
Some of you know already, but I was able to change my plane ticket and am leaving next Saturday. My other flight would have put me in MI while my brother was in Cancun and I was only going to see him for one night and morning that I leave. So now I will get to see him the entire time, I stay at his place. This is him when he came to visit me.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Sunday Funday! Bright and sunny this ayem, a bit chilly at 5 degrees. No bean suppahs scheduled for yesterday, so Mom heated up canned beans, made brown bread and biscuits and had me pick up some cole slaw and red snappers, so we had an old-fashionedSaturday night bean suppah right at home! Instead of pies for dessert Mom made custard. Sadie got lots of attention and loved that.
Goldie--looked like we bumped each other into the pool yesterday!
Muddling--here in the HTL, you can have whatever you want for brunch! Or any other time of the day for that matter!
Cammy--no need to apologize, the new job isn't final yet, hoping to get the formal offer this coming week. Yes, it does mean going back to full time, but it is also an hourly based job, meaning I'll know what hours I am working every day.There will be some evening and night work doing classes for the evening and night shift staff, but those will be planned ahead of time. No more getting at call at 3 or 4 peeyem and finding out I'll be working until 6 or 7 peeyem or later.And NO MORE DRIVING ALL DAY!I will drive to work, work, then drive home.
Morning, Prissy!Good luck with the radiation. I pray it goes easily for you. And don't apologize for complaining about weather, it's a basic human right to complain about the weather! What kind of wine are you drinking?
Chi--That TSAPre is pretty handy, isn't it? Lugging around winter gear when traveling is not fun. Good idea to take a separate suitcase for it!
Janky--nice to get the confirmation of the RO's scan reading, I bet. Watching dementia progress in a loved one is just so freaking hard. {{{hugs}}}
Goldie--LOL--I've done the same thing when copying and pasting, I know exactly how that happens!The fact that the new job will be full time will mean some adjusting. I have enjoyed having control of my own work schedule, but this schedule will be predictable and I'll be able to get into a routine. As it is now when I go in to work I never know if I will be working for 4 or 5 hours or for up to 12 hours.And to be honest, I've been a bit bored and sometimes a bit lonely working part time. And to go to work and feel like I am actually contributing is going to be a great feeling.It is going to be a looong week, though! So good you could change flights and will get to see your brother! That will make the trip easier for you, I'm sure.

NM and Sadie,

Teka, except for the holes in the snow on my "parkway" (grass strip between curb & sidewalk) where the neighborhood pooches have left their little "presents."
Temps are rising into the teens all day, and with sunshine, a lot of the 3" we got yesterday is melting. But tonight through tomorrow, we're in for anywhere from 5-10" more. (Maybe with a brief spate of "wintry mix" at the beginning, when the temp could be >32F). After church, Bob went to Cellars and brought back quiche & salad; and then on a vodka run to Whole Foods, a bag of mandarin oranges and a chunk of Point Reyes blue cheese to have tonight with slices of Asian pear, almonds (out of walnuts) and a port (either vintage, or a CA or Aussie "ruby" imitation) I plan to open. Most people would sip it by the fireside. But we use our fireplace as a wall against which to lean my guitars in their cases--so perhaps we can find a "fireplace channel" on the TV and zone out looking at that. (Remember when on Christmas Eves past some stations substituted a live "Yule log" feed for their normal programming)?
-
Hey hey! Long time no posts from me! Been busy! But doing great! 4 treatments down, 8 to go! Herceptin and Taxol! No side affects..yet! Blood work has been rocking each time. Eating good, so I can be bad! Bad as in drinking! Got to have a stress reliever! Flat tire is getting pumped up every other week! That is going great too! Started out with 20 cc, then to 60-not sure how much we will do this week! Take care! Stay thirsty my friends👊! 🥃🍺⛱🏖! Finally cold in NC, but give it a day or so and we will think it’s spring 🤣!

Chi,
My sidewalk......
Gigi,
Spring is still a way off in the Adirondacks.

At the airport heading home. Some pics from La Jolla today

I love all the photos and the frozen dog poop references! I’m so bad with cold weather. I seriously don’t think I would ever leave my house if I had to deal with some of the weather that you ladies are describing! Then again when I’m sweating my fake boobs off this summer, I may be wishing for freezingness!
Took my oldest to visit the college she’ll be attending in the fall. We walked 7 miles and I’m paying for it today. I’m tired, ladies, so tired! I slept 10 hrs and took a 3 hr nap. Hoping to bounce back tomorrow and that the tamoxifen is not making me overly tired. I’m trying to not get any SE’s from the stuff!!! Haha. I did try to have a drink (a Dos Equis dark) for the first time since starting it and I got exactly 3 sips in and started feeling super dizzy. So that didn’t go well!
Hugs to all of you!
-
Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Monday! Yeah, another work week starts off with a bang. Got a text from Clinical Manager #4 yesterday, she has 3 visits for me today, doesn't think she'll have any work for me Tuesday or Wednesday. If I needed a sign that it's time to move on, this would be it. Well, such is life, and I knew this could happen when I changed to Per Diem status, but in 2 years it's only happened a few times. Looks like some extra Sadie time coming up this week!
Teka--LOL!That is one advantage of snow!
Chi--I do remember the Yule log feeds, and getting a Fireplace VHS tape back when those were popular. I'm sure you will be able to find a fireplace video on YouTube if no where else!
Hey, Gigi!So glad treatment is going so well for you!
LOL Teka!
Jazzy--oh my, those are great pics!
Wigging--You walked 7 miles?Good for you! I bet you'll bounce back pretty quickly now that you've had some rest. Dizzy after 3 sips of beer? Not so good. You must be out of practice!
Cold Comfort Martini
Ingredients
- 2 oz Lemon Vodka
- 2 oz Honey Vodka
Pour both ingredients into a cocktail shaker half-filled with cracked ice. Shake well, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon, and serve.
Best served in a Cocktail Glass.

NM, I love having morning swims with you! How nice that you had bean suppah with mom and Dick, and of course Sadie too! Waiting is the hardest part! Do you know what day you will hear something?
Sandy, I guess your neighobors don't clean up after their pooches...how rude! LOL, the yule tide on the tv!
Gigi, so nice to hear that your treatments are going well! They should remain that way.
Jazzy, what a little cutie, that seal. And the ocean pic looks like a post card!
Wiggy, I sleep about 10 hours every night! But naps...forget it. Can't do it, no matter how tired I might feel. OH MY, my feet could not handle a 7 mile walk. I did Arimidex, so can't offer anything in regards to being on the Tammy train.
Here are some pictures of my feet.
-
Mornin' ladies,
Wigging good for u, but yea tired---just don't give up on drinking. OOHH how does it feel having ur DD leaving for college???
Hey Prissy good to see u and glad ur doing good. Keep us posted.
Gigi u too and let us know how it's all going for u.
Lori I'm so glad ur going to go for ur mom and see ur brother. Being with him will be so good for u.But take some warm clothes.Oh olives how could u not like them. When I was young we used to have them every Sunday <cuz we always had company> but my mom would never open them til we were ready to sit down or they's all be gone, but we did fight over the olive juice, no not anymore but still love olives, when I drank martinis always got extra.Oh well
Teka ur so funny always have been.
Sandy I'm right with u in the weather department. Except this morning I hear by Wed. we will have wind chlll of 50 below, it won't warm up til this weekend. I know u go out alot so better rethink about going or really cover up, this is crazy.
Kim u might be having the same type of weather so enjoy being home the next couple of days. I know u itching to go to a new job tho, so consider this a mini'vacation.
Jazzy u send the bestest pictures, how special for u.
My phone has started up and I saw I did miss a call at 2am, when I am sleeping I'm really sleeping
