    Marsha: Better yet. You had their number and made the call. Had to make you feel better.

    Z.......I was raised in Sparta, Tenn!! Thanks guys. I saw the trailor but not the movie. I've been told I should have seen it on the big screen, oh well.......

    Sheri, I didn't think you were putting me down in the slightest!!! I just didn't want anyone to think I had gotten a phone call when I didn't. Someone might get their feelings hurt and I didn't want to be the reason for that. LOL You know I love you.

    How cool for you!! You are so special and you deserve everything that is nice and comforting to happen to you. We all have to take those special moments and guard them like treasure, for who knows if luck will strike twice (it usually does). Anyway, I'm glad they had a great time at Pinkstock, I hope they were able to fit my dedication in because it meant everything to me to give them that gift and I hope my package of the gift copies got there in time for them to take home, and I cannot wait until they all get back and tell stories and post pictures. I am happy that you got to join the party for even a little bit.

    Robin, I sent my numbers. I just know Chattanooga is about 5 hours, so somewhere in between would be good. As long as it's off the 127 I should be able to find it.

    Marsha, I wanted to tell you they are doing the auditions for Misery today. I didn't go, maybe I'll check it out tomorrow night. I am seriously going to the Sugar Bean Sisters, though. That one I really want to do. We'll see.

    Z, my 15 year old, Joe, LOVED the movie 300. He says it's his favorite. It looked a little violent to me. His older brother took him to see it. I do teach about the Spartans, though, but probably won't use the movie at school.

    How would you handle this situation...

    I just sent my Aunt an email to give to my Mom (I can't hear on the phone), while up there on vacation Mom asked me if there was anything I wanted when she dies. She did say I do get the wagon wheel table as I said from the first day they had it made from a real wagon wheel that I wanted it. I was able to think of some other furniture now we are home that I wouldn't mind having if my two sister in laws haven't put dibs on them yet. It should be my 2 brother's wanting stuff and not them, the sister in laws don't you think? It sounds like they already have "grabbed up" a bunch of the antiques so I guess thats why I couldn't think of anything I wanted at the time so not to start any hard feelings with the SILs or Mom or disapoint myself that its already spoken for! You would think I'd have first dibs on stuff vs my SILs but the way Mom said "so and so wants this and that", I figured I had no chance at getting that item anyway since she put it that way.

    Anyway I sent the email asking to let me know if I can have the furniture I mentioned (like my deceased Dad's fav chair, some old but sturdy dressers and a ocean wave painting I think a great aunt painted)and to let my 2 brothers know that I wanted the items. I was almost afraid to ask as I'm not sure how I will react if she says one of the SIL's already has dibs on those particular items too. Am I wrong for feeling like I don't have a lot of choice in the matter anyway? I guess if she says no to the items I want I am going to back off and not ask for anything else as I don't want to get into a pissing match with anyone.

    Robin, Happy Birthday. Miss you when you don't post.

    Nicki, I think many of us do tend to pull away when we are having down days, days of worry. I know that I do. I always feel that where I am now, there are far to many with more serious problems - health, financial, family problems -
    to the small things I'm having problems with. I feel confident there are many of us that do that. Crazy, I know.
    I envy the pool - we have overcast skies today so that is helping keep the temp down a bit. It has been hot - makes hot flashes even worse!!! Someone please tell me the do end - 2 years is long enough by 23 months!!!!!!!

    Peter, I don't have a clue what you are talking about about and Shokk's advice. Did I say something that upset you? I apologize if I did but you are going to have to clue me what I did. I was commenting on Cheri's thoughts and tossed in things I remembered but that CG's and now that there has been Pinkstock, are all close and that I love and cherish my friends here - good things have come from this circle. Again, I apologize if you found offense.

    Vicki, glad that you have returned from Pinkstock safely. Can't wait to see the pictures. You will have to let us know where they will be posted here or the Pinkstock thread or both. I think many of us are thinking "next year".

    Margaret, I have GOT to start exercising.

    To everyone THINKING they should loose weight OR loosing weight - I decided this morning that I need to design a bra - a TRUE WONDER BRA - that would hold all of the abdominal gain into the boob area. Now that would make me look like Dolly til I stuffed all of that into that area but at least my stomach would be flat and clothes would fit better at the waist again. Imagine how tight that sucker would have to be though to hold all of that - whew!!!!!

    Ok, off to design my Wonder Bra - catch everyone later.

    Ok...I had to come back and post again as my heart is just bursting and I have to simply get it out.
    To BC.org...May God Bless you for bringing us all together. I don't know what I would do without my cybersisters here. You have done a wonderful thing with this special site that many of us call "home".

    Gina...I don't think you can fully comprehend the enormity of what you have created. The Circle the Wagons girls have truly become a family. Going to Pinkstock and meeting all those wonderful, special women (not all were "circle girls" but no matter...sisters just the same)was an amazing experience. I loved them one and all. It was so wonderful to actually sit around a campfire with women you have never met and feel like you truly have known them all your life and that they truly are your "sisters".

    PurpleMB...how you did it I will never know. You are the most generous, loving women. You took us in without knowing who we even were and you made us a family. You took care of us, fed us, body and soul. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I don't want ANYONE who missed Pinkstock to be sad. I just want you to know that what you see on the boards is exactly what you get in real life...loving, kind, generous, sweet sisters. A family.

    Cheri doll...I'm ready to start planning LOL.

    My heart still feels like its so full it's coming out of my chest because it is impossible to put into words how wonderful all this is...both on the boards and at Pinkstock...we are the best!
    Love
    Vickie

    some pics will be posted in the Pinkstock thread some on the myspace site. Just to keep everyone "comfortable".

    Brenda,thank you for the b'd wishes.

    I cant imagine you upsetting anyone you are one of the kindest people I have ever known.

    I designed the perfect nursing bra when jasmine was a baby but didnt do anything with it.If you think regular bra's are uncomfortable have you tried a nursing bra?

    It is kinda nice in a way I guess being flat dont wear a bra.Thats the only positive I have found.

    Brenda: When I woke up last night all wet even with the central air conditioning on - I realized I have been having hot flashes for 10 years. The only thing that has changed is that I now perspire from my head. Even in the middle of a meeting, my hair gets totally wet.

    Vickie: So good to hear you got home safely. It sure sounds like you all had a wonderful time.

    Wild/Jan: Sounds to me like your feelings are hurt - nothing wrong with that. But if I were you, I would try to not dwell on it today. Tomorrow is another day.

    Catch up with ya all later.

    Afternoon all - it's still afternoon for everyone except Peter.

    Gina, thank you for sharing that with us. I can only imagine how thrilled you were.

    Robin, it's your birthday - we remembered because I posted on that thread, chemobrain, at least I think I did.....was early this morning before I had my second cup of coffee. You are certainly entitled to your quiet time; I go through that too. I read but don't post, but you know we are here for you when you come home. And you will not be crawling to Pinkstock next year - we'll get you there.

    Marsha, what's next - another boot camp!! I have one week off. Sister goes for her colonoscopy Tuesday but I'm able to coach her having been down that road.

    Pam, hope Miles had a good birthday.

    Nicki, fingers crossed for that new job. I didn't have rads either but mom did. I still am not shaving under my arms.

    Z, I heard 300 was good so I'll have to see it.

    Wild/Jan, I would be so irritated if my SIL got my mom's things before I did; it's one thing for your brothers to ask, but your SIL??? My mom has everything noted about who gets what, even if we don't want it, we get it, but it's all written down.

    Sheri, fingers crossed for your hubby that the perfect job comes along, with more money, and less hours.

    Brenda, now that I'm on a schedule of exercising, and exercising hard, 3 times a week, I'm going to continue so that's why I signed up for boot camp again. I'm going to join a gym, my son and sis want to join as a family and we'll split the cost so that's probably what we'd do. I think they already make that bra - it's called Spanx. My girlfriend swears by hers. She wears her thong underwear and her Spanx. I'm going to have to get some!

    Ok, back to being Suzy Homemaker today - I tend to do that on Sundays when it is grey outside.

    Back later.

    Afternoon all. I went to bed last night and really slept well. First really good nights sleep I've had for awhile. I did need it, too. It'd been about 2 days since i'd rested. It felt sooo good to take this heavy boot off and lotion down my little bony leg and change the bandage....and sleep bare legged. OMG, it'd been so long since I've done that. It is truly the little things in life.

    Z, what a nice thing for someone to tell me. That they'd kept one of my posts and I do remember writing it and I still feel the same today.

    Nicki, I love when new girls join and our family gets bigger. What I don't like is when people come on here pretending to be someone they are not. You know who I mean.

    Marsha, humm. Guess someone was joking with me when they said they were Mena on the phone. They got on and said Mon Cheri and asked if I knew who it was, I said they talked like Mena but didn't sound like Mena, then she laughed and sounded like her. Guess it was just a really funny joke.

    Charlene, i hadn't slept in a couple days when I posted that long post last night. No wonder you didn't know how to reply. hahahha I doubt it made much sense.

    Z, Ethans dad brought him home from the week-end a bit ago and he was talking about the "300". Said Ethan had watched it 3 times and just loved it.

    Vickster, you made it home. Good for you.

    Jan, it isn't my SIL (don't have one at the moment anyway) that ask for stuff - it is my sister. She got so much of my grandparents stuff out from under the nose of parent, aunt and uncle and other grandchildren. I let it go - the deed was done - but it really made me angry and it hurt too. I spent 5 nights out of 7 at their house as a child and there were old trunks, depression glass, dolls, needlework, quilts, old stove,etc. I TRY not to think about it as it upsets me still and it has been years. I decided she ask; they gave. It wasn't mine to give away. I think it comes down to what you feel is the right way for YOU to handle this and move forward. I loved my grandparents and they were older and they didn't realize they had hurt or upset anyone. I'll be thinking about you.

    Margaret, you Mom is a smart woman in writing it down and saying who gets what. I should be doing the same thing and might start working on that. I was doing WW core plan but I think I am going to switch back to flex and count points. I do better when I count points and I sure haven't even been motivated enough to stay with anything. I'm there though - I don't know what is going on but I have put on lots of weight the last month. They already make the bra???? Oh, I guess I'm to late again so I guess I can't pay everyone's way to Pinkstock next year now as my get rich quick bra has already hit the market.

    Robin, you are to kind. So good to see you posting and moving ahead; having better days. Maybe we'll both get to Pinkstock next year. Maybe.........

    Vicki, Pinkstock is on MySpace???

    Ok, time to balance check book - I got off last month and they had to put money in from "cash advance" - I haven't done that in years and years. UGH!!!

    Wow, busy day today. Church this morning, then laundry and cleaning. I helped the boys clean their rooms and throw out some of that JUNK that accumulates. They did not want to give anything up, but I told them that they can’t get any NEW toys unless some of the old toys go. So we took a couple of boxes of toys and some clothes to Goodwill today. I also organized my side of the closet. Boy, that felt good! Now if I could just get my husband to do his side, I would be REALLY happy.

    Jankay, sorry to hear about your finger….I hope it feels better soon!

    Marsha, congrats on finishing rads! I think I was depressed during most of rads and for weeks after. I am just starting to feel better now, and I finished at the end of May.

    Robin, happy birthday!

    Hi Peter, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to ignore you, but I for one enjoy your posts so don’t you go away!

    Z, hey girl, so glad to see you again!

    Hey Vickie, glad you made it back safe and sound!

    Nicki, hey I have missed you, glad to hear you are still enjoying the pool! The rain you got is coming our way and I think we are supposed to get soaked tonight, which is good because my grass is REALLY brown!

    Margaret, so boot camp is over? How was it?

    Wild, wow, I don’t know what to say about that situation. I guess if it were me I would also not want to rock the boat too much. I hope you end up getting at least some of the things that you would like to have!

    Brenda, I messed up once by transfering money from checking to savings instead of the other way around. About 5 checks bounced before I realized that there was a problem! Ugh! What a mess!

    BTW, I wanted to mention to those of you who might remember my job situation….in February I was passed over for a promotion to team manager, probably because of my medical situation. Then about 6 weeks ago one of the team managers left, so I interviewed for the job along with about 14 other people who were interested. Anyway, I got it! My first day as team manager is tomorrow. I am really happy, but also really nervous!

    Have a great night, ladies! I can’t wait to see the pictures and hear the stories from Pinkstock!

    Thanks for the comments so far about my situation. Good to know I am not so wrong for feeling the way I do but I guess the deed is mostly done and I can't do anything about it now except "grin and bear it." At least the one item I really wanted is still promised to me. I guess I will be happy as long as I get that wagon wheel table if I don't get anything else. I kinda would like to get Dad's chair as it makes me feel like I'm sitting with him with his arms around me. I was sitting in it alot when we were there on vacation. But like I said, what is done is done, its up to Mom who she wants to give her things to not up to me.

    well my darling sisters and dear brother Peter...I am home, sore, tanned, happy, sad, overwhelmed with the amount of love that was shared and will continue to be shared. I missed you all so very much. We had this grand plan of calling everyone from around the campfire and did manage to get a hold of a couple of girls but unfortunatly with the poor cell signal and the list of number it was nearly impossible. You were all with us every moment and you will all be physically with us next year! Start planning and saving your pennies today!
    Time to walk the perimeter now that I am home where I belong (although a couple of girls out there in the sticks did call and tell me they need a third brain LOL...miss you two!). Looks like you have all been busy since I went away but I will do my very best to tuck you all in safely for the night.
    Z...oh my...you are such a wonderful writer. I so loved your letter you sent. It was eloquent to say the least and I thank you. Sweet dreams and better days for you.
    Happy Birthday Robin...I hope it was a good one and your appointment goes well. We were thinking of you...sending you a hug and a shovel for Evil.
    Nickster...I missed my sunshine
    OMG...I HAVE A BAT IN THE LIVING ROOM
