    can i tell you guys a "funny" story?

    ok ....... i will lol!

    the girls at work have taken to carrying "glade ultra" little spray bottles in their pockets to "mask" the lovely aromas we encounter on our floor every 20 minutes.

    .......... soooooooo one night last week i literally began to gag and thought i was going to ralf from the scent of "fruity, berry, cocoa, lime/coconut scented sh!t"!!!!!!

    ....... one of my witty co-workers got a kick out of my misery (i have a real hang up about scents and fragrances since chemo) .........she said "well, what would smell better to you there boobie girl?" .......... i said anything but fruit with crap puleeeeze"

    ........... my doorbell just rang ......... i opened the door, no one was there, but on my veranda was a bag full of 'wild rain', 'clean linen', and 'april shower' glade ultras!!!!!!! i mean no joke about 40 of the little suckers with a note that said "we hope your shit becomes more tolerable" .......... i laughed so hard i cried!

    turns out these air fresheners were on sale for 99 cents at our local drugstore and my friends couldn't resist a good joke ............. i'll be packing one in each uniform pocket for months to come lololol!

    Good Morning Sunshine Sisters! Im awake and of course this is gonna be one of my early days to work. Wont get home til after 7PM so Im trying to type fast and furious.

    Im so lost this morning. How dare they do maintenance on photobucket when I was looking for a grand picture to post this morning.

    I must say you all sound soooo excited about Pinkstock. You are gonna have so much fun. Im guessing I better find something to do this week-end to keep me busy.

    I really had to do alot of soul searching yesterday. Seems like no matter what I do, I keep drowning a little more each day. Firs I walked around the house and took a good look at all the flowers I planted this Spring. They are so pretty. They have become monster flowers. They look just like I imagined when I first planted them. Lots of multicolored snap dragons and inbetween, beautfiul yellow flowers- just like the sunshine. I fell asleep pretty early. Woke up and looked outside. There was my husband sitting on the deck by the pool. Lights were on and it looked so pretty. I could see he was crying as when I opened the window to say hi, what ya doin, he was wiping tears from his face. I didnt go back to bed, instead we both went for a nighttime swim.

    I didnt reschedule the interview. I drove by it last Friday and knew right away it wasnt the kind of place I wanted to be working at, nor would it support the kind of salary Im looking for. When I came home and told my husband why I didnt go - he said only that could happen to you. It was pretty funny.

    Brenda: I laughed pretty hard at your post. My buttons on my pants dont usually pop, but my panty hose always fall down below my big belly. Im thinking I may need suspenders to hold my panty hose up.

    It was interesting reading about how some of you who had reconstruction feel. I thought I was the only one who looked awful. I have the scar lines across the middle. My bc side is smaller than the other side. And now I have a puffy pocket of fat below the implants. Almost looks like I have 4 boobs. My PS says its fat. But as Lini mentioned - I do look good in clothing. Can pop buttons with the best of them.

    We are indeed like family. I was thinking about my sister who passed 12 years ago at 46. When we were younger we would get into fist fights! Wishing I could have a fight with her today.

    Well my time is up. Didnt have a chance to say hello to you all individually. Maybe photobucket will be up and running tomorrow morning.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Those going to Pinkstock have a safe and happy trip.

    Nicki

    Good Morning,

    This will be a quick post. While I've been up a while, I've spent my time surfing for bullying complain forms. Our company doesn't have anything to use and the form they sent is so employer-sided. If I filled that out I can guanentee nothing would happen except I'd get in trouble.

    Need to get going. Sorry for being a downer.

    I'm sooooo glad the "full moon" passed.

    A to Z hugs,

    Betty

    Good morning all!

    Shel: Love your story! I so can relate to the "mask the smell" routine!! That is to funny!

    Shirley: Good to hear from you, and try to enjoy the camping thingy!

    Madison: Please be careful driving that big ole truck around.

    I've got to hit the shower and get out of here!

    So my Boss calls me yesterday.............it appears that one of my 'stranger' clients called the office 4 times Friday and 5 times yesterday.......she is one that wants things her way.......anyhow, she told my boss that she was sorry but she was going to have to 'let me go!'
    We got a good laugh about that! She thinks (client) that if she 'let's me go' she will be able to get the exact hours and days that she wants.......which change weekly!!

    Hugs,
    Denise

    Good morning Circle girls

    Its a bright sunny day on this side.

    Betty -- this is just more stress than a person deserves to tolerate. I would definitely be looking for a new job. Unfortunately, personnel ALWAYS works for management and the sad reality is that nothing will be done to your supervisor. That is just my job experience in the work force. Its not fair and its sucks big pickles.

    Angel -- how are you feeling this wonderful morning?

    Shirley -- I just keep picturing a southern version of "Lord of the Flies" with you running through the woods chasing a wild boar. Say it ain't so!

    Nicki -- I know you are at a very low time in your life right now. My hope is that things turn around for you soon and you find joy.

    Vickie -- hope you gets some good job news today. Wouldn't that just be icing on this week's fun!

    Gina -- I hope this finds you on a good chemo day. Did you make your deadline yesterday? How many more rounds of abraxane are left now?

    Good morning Madison and Denise. Happy Tuesday!

    Well, going to get this day started. BBL

    Good Morning to Everyone!!

    Oh, we have sunshine this morning - YES!!!! Something about sunshine just puts a spring in my step. Maybe it was that chemo was Oct, Nov., Dec and those days seemed to be so gray and dreary. I do love sunshine. Sending wishes that the sun is shining on all my sisters today, bringing smiles, laughter, and just a wonderful day.

    Nicki, I keep saying gotta do something about this weight but I fall off the wagon andnever seem to make it. I have gotten so thick in the middle and I keep thinking my rear can't spread anymore but it does!!! I hate the spare tire that shows when I try to look nice but when I look around, well, hey, there are lots of YOUNG girls that have them just as bad. No excuse for me - but they are young.

    Sunday on the way in at church a casual friend ask for my phone number - there was a lady in the church that had breast cancer and was having a hard time with chemo. (We were visiting this church) I knew "Virginia" was there and I kept looking for her and actually spotted her. Her wig looked really, really nice but the more I searched, I just knew it was her and her hair was a wig. Later my friend started towards her, gave her the paper with my name and pointed me out. We both smiled and I started towards her and just opened my arms and gave her a big hug. What can you do, guys? She started to cry. Her counts kept dropping, even with the shot, after her treatments. She has finished AC and has 4 Taxol left. Sometimes, it just helps someone else see someone standing in front of them that has been through chemo/rads - they just need to know it does end. A friend sent this to me last night - kind of puts life in perspective. I hope this link works to something really nice. I hope you have time to visit and enjoy. ( I hope I am doing this right and you can open the link.) Move your mouse over the clock to swirl it around when the link opens - no matter where you are the time will be correct. I thought of all of you when I read this - lifes changed; lives that learned what really matters in life. I do love you Circle Girls.

    Betty, JanKay, Angel, Puppy, Karen, Marsha - hope you have a good day. Blessings to all. Brenda

    Nicki, I loved your story about your boobs popping. I sent my pm before I read it, sorry! It sure doesn't sound like that job was going to work for you.

    I loved the snake story! My mom found one in her garage last year. It was only a baby, but she kept thinking there might be a momma somewhere.

    Shel, your coworkers sound like fun people. What a great joke to play on someone.

    I have a busy day planned. We may finally get to move into our new classrooms. We have open house on Thurs night to meet our students, so have tons of work to do. Now if I can just get my own chemo brain in gear I'll be fine.

    shel39again that was hilarious!

    We were watching season 4 of NYPD Blues and guess who is in the first 5 episodes! Christopher Meloni! Hubby said to me... I don't like him here but I like him in the other show. I said maybe that's because he's such a good actor that you hate the bastard on NYPD and yet he's so likable on L&O? He didn't seem as handsome or tall on NYPD. He played Jimmy Liery (5 episodes, 1996-1997)
    This is how he looked on NYPD
    image
    Here he is in 1989 on HBO "1st and 10" with some hair...playing an ex-con turned quarterback

    Here he is as a teenager

    Good Morning Circle Girls,

    Just taking a minute to poke my head out of my wagon and say Hi! Life just got really busy and overwhelming for a bit, but I’m adjusting. Having dinner last night with Denise, and Deb and some of the Michigan girls was such a boost.

    I have been thinking of you and praying for all who are having tough times – I was going to list some especially’s but I don’t want to leave anyone out! Tests and mood swings and family issues and everything… Well, just know you are all always in my prayers for good times and not so good times.

    A quickie update on my happenings – we found a house and close on the 14th. They are going to have up to 30 days to be out so we’ll be moved in by the end of September. I have finally reconciled all my mixed feelings about getting the house because of Dad’s estate and am looking forward to my new digs. Sadly, DH’s father is permanently in a nursing home now. MIL is still working through that decision in her head and heart, but is adjusting and beginning to accept this is for the best overall.

    I’ve learned not to make promises about being here everyday because I don’t like to worry people, but I think (I hope) I’m past the worst of my depressed period, and hope to be around a little more.

    One other thing – I was telling one of my co-workers about our dinner last night, and she inquired how I know Deb and where she was from. Come to find out, she has long time family friends visiting from Deb’s town in Alaska! We’re betting they know each other, but decided it’s a very small world.

    Luv and Hugs to all my sisters and my brother,
    Anne

    Good Morning Everyone,

    Just a quick flyby - so much to do and so little time to do it in - need a few extra hours today. It is going to be really hot here today -90s and humid. I can take the heat but the humidity is the killer. Oh well, my plants will love it.

    Shel38 - funny story. Your co-workers have a good sense of humor.

    WildJan - that is one good looking guy. Love L&O. Didn't know he was on NYPD.

    Betty - prayers for you to find a new job. That one sounds too stressful.

    Nicki - so good to see you back posting. Gonna be warm for the next few days - lots of swim time.

    Anne - congrats on the new house.

    Brenda - that poem was beautiful and how true - the things we tend to worry about are not the things that matter in the end.

    Shirley - who's Wilbur? Are you going hunting??

    Sheri - how time flies. Seems like you were just finishing up for the summer and now you are getting ready to start all over again. My children and dh start back in a few weeks too.

    AlwaysHope - sunny on my side too and hot!

    Denise - glad you got rid of the snake.

    Have a good day everyone from A to Z. Might bbl if I can get my to do list taken care of.

    Hugs,
    Suz

    Good morning to all the CG's! I have a follow up appt. with my PCP tomorrow to discuss what led me to the ER and where to go from here. The nurse said he might send me to a hematologist. Great, another doctor to go to. When I had my scan's in March my oncologist said their's some kind of issue with my ureter that I need to follow up with a kidney specialist about, but that it could wait a bit. Haven't even made that call yet because I wanted to wait until after my expander surgery. Sigh, if it's not one thing it's another!!!!! But I won't let it get me down today. Just feeling so relieved that our circle is unbroken!

    Odalys - I'm doing well today, thank you for asking. Your posts are always uplifting .. I love your style!

    Brenda - Thanks for thinking of me...yes, Monday was a much better day! Your link was beautiful. It's wonderful that you can help another bc sister like you did. Nice story.

    Jan - glad you're back! Maine is so beautiful! Would love seeing some pictures from your trip! Your Sisterhood of the Wolf image was very cool!

    MizSissy - thanks for the update on Puppy. Please keep us informed!

    Karen - I hope today finds you feeling better. I take Cymbalta daily both for depression and to help with my fibromyalgia. Do what you need to.

    SoCal - love your pics from Cooperstown! You are so talented at that!

    WildJan - your bike pics are too cool. My SO had to get rid of his bike due to financial issues. His dream is to get a Harley someday when the kids are older and he has more time to ride.

    Lini - Great to see you posting here. Missed you, try and pop in more often!

    Marsha - I want one of those BS meters!

    Margaret - know the financial week from hell very well .. mine is in December. Four birthdays and Christmas. Stressed out to the max and poor every Christmas time! Gotta figure out a way to handle it better so I can enjoy that month more because I miss being able to do that!

    Cheri -You are just too freaking funny!

    Shel - Ha! Your co-workers are awesome to do that! Too funny!

    Vickie - I'm feeling better, thanks for asking. The swelling is gone!

    ((((((Nicki)))))) - I like your new signature. We're all here for you and won't let you drown!

    Gina - So happy to see you hanging around here more. You are an inspiration!

    Jasmine - I'm doing well thank you! It Is a wonderful morning isn't it?!

    Anne - Good seeing you. Glad you're starting to feel better.

    Betty - hugs to you, thinking of you and I know this will all work out in the end.

    Jankay - where Are you???

    Shirley - You're a hoot!

    Mena - stick around, your humor is so uplifting!

    MB - I bet we'll all feel your warm thoughts and prayers. Have fun!

    To everyone else from A - Z I'm thinking of you and so glad to be a part of your family. Love you all.

    Jas, they have been a little moody lately...maybe they're depressed?...

    ...happy to see Nicki up early like things oughtta be...why was hubby crying, Nicki? He must be depressed in all seriousness...

    Wild Jan...thanks for posting pics of my honey. He looks a bit like crazy Mel Gibson in the pic w/hair. Don't you think? Now, trust me, I wouldn't put him in the same category as crazy Mel...Chris is much hotter and not a horse's petootie -- no offense to horses, Nickster...hahaha....

    All Pinstockers have a blast and travel safely...take notes and pictures and soak up the love!...xo
