Hey you alll.

Things are gret.  Cathi I was thinking of you last yesterday/night.  I took my son's fiancee' to the mall to buy some more Mickey Mouse ornaments - like I don't have enough.  Instead, she was smiling and saying she woul like to start some traditions of her own.  I collect precious moments ornaments and she hasn't started any ornaments for them.  So while at Dillards, I showed her the waterford crystal ornaments and she fell in love with them.  She had never seen them before.  I asked her how long she and Chase, my dear son, have been dating and she kindly reminded me 3 1/2 long years.  I started laughing and I told her she need an ornament for each year.  She said I know but I'll start one day.  When she wasn;t looking I bought a gingerbread man, two little stockings and two little hats for her.  Yes, they were expensive but hey it was starting their tradition.  While at the mall I bought the little trees that you hang ornaments on and on the way home I told her I was so excited about little tree for my ornaments and I asked if she liked hers and she said yes and her little gingerbread man would be lonely but it was something she could enjoy for a long time adding to it each year they are together.  I looked at her and told her since she was a little behind all of the ornamnets were hers and she started to cry and hug me.  She said she loved her mom but they have never done anything like that as a mother and daughter.  I told her she was my daughter and she cried even harder.  Cathi thepart that made me think of you was while at the Hallmark store getting the little decor trees, We found these decorated glasses that look like mugs (but they are glass) and starting at the stem it looked like black and white flames coming up the sides of the glass and they had these pipe cleaners around the bottom that are real fuzzy but not feathers and they were bright pink.  I looked at Meagan (son's girlfriend) and I said can't you picture us sitting on the lawn watching the boys work hard at the lights and decor on the outside while we drink our punch in our sexy glasses and just point at what needs to be done (we'll turn the boys into slaves for the afternoon).  She laughed and said she could see it and it sounded wonderful so I got myself, her, and my daughter one a piece and we brought our pink lounge chairs to watch. Ladies I believe we are ready.  Ms. Judy, and Ms. Cathi, I believe you two are rubbing off on me.

Have a good one everyone.  Lisa are you OK?

oh Sisters I so love to read all your posts xxx

I am back to work tomorrow ...where did the 2 weeks go!!! BAAAA  WAAAA X

Anyway I have a problem maybe...

When I went out to dinner while on holiday ...for some reason I put my hand on the back of my head and felt a sore bump.... I hadn't banged my head...and I put it down to the head rest on the plane.

Well it is getting bigger and hurts to touch a lot.... it feels like a bump om my bone ....

WHAT CAN IT BE !?

I have bought some lovely hair straightners for my hair which is now in a straight bob...and I do not want to be ill again!!!

I wonder wonder wonder what it is xxx

I havent mentioned it to no one xxx

Sue,

Sounds like a cyst to me.  I had one on top of my head and had it removed. Get it checked though.

Sue I know your fall was a bit ago- but perhhaps the altitude of the plane caused a residual lump???? Don't frighten yourself to much  - see your DR. Heres hoping and praying it is just what it is -  a darned "lump"

XOXOXOXOXOXO -Cathi

AE - When is your biopsy?  Thinking of you.  Are you still thinking of moving to Lakeland -  the next couple of nights they are expecting frost up that way -  right here on the coast we will be in the 40's over night -  pretty darn cold for Fla, but  this stuff only lasts a few days normally -  we have had plenty of 80+ degree Thanksgivings.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO -Cathi

Thanks sisters xxx

My fall was above my left eye ...I am so worried... but I cant face going to the docs...rite now I am gettin really freaked off with living with bootface....

AE where abouts do you live xxx .....

Sue, what you have on your head does sound like the cyst I got in my armpit area.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebaceous_cyst 

It's is formed when an oil gland pore becomes blocked so it is more common in hairier areas. Your head is the hairiest part of your body, right? Usually it doesn't hurt but once it gets infected like mine, it hurts when you touch it and grows fast unlike cancer. I had it removed under the local the other day without a hitch. Mine felt like the size of a prune when I touched it but it actually wasn't that large when it was removed.You should get it checked regardless of what it is. The sooner the better. Oh and if you want to get it ckecked, you should go to either the dermatologist or the surgeon.

Here's a photo from the gathering for my father's 90TH birthday. I'm on the far right in the turquoise. My daughter is third from the left in the back row. Dad is seated in the center. The two older ladies seated to the left of my father are 1) my sister-in-law's mother and 2) my father's girl friend. My sister in law is the blonde next to my daughter peeking through. Everyone else is a blood relative. We're missing about half the grandchildren and a few spouses, but it was a great party.

BEAUTIFUL - Nancy!

livesstrong

Nancy - fantastic photo- your look fabulous and your daughter is a beauty.

Sue - I got to thinking - maybe its a bug bite - I had one in the same spot a long time ago and it settled in a lymph node and got really BIG.   Scared the heck out of me, but wound up being nothing.  Just a thought.

AE

Wren

Sue, I had the same thing years ago and it was just an ingrown hair that formed a bump, like a cyst. It eventually went away on its own. I think your idea to use tea will help too...

Nancy, that is a wonderful family photo and memory. You have a handsome family.

I'm slowly recovering from my surgery last Monday. I have my nights and days a little turned around though. It still amazes me all the surgeries I've been through to get to this point.

Hugs to you all!

dink

Sue, I believe it will be a cyst or an abcess like everyone else.  How did the tea cup thing work?

Nancy your family is beautiful.  Wren I haven't heard much from you, what kind of surgery did you have if you don't mind my asking and how are you doing?  Has anyone heard from AE about her biopsy?  Ms. Judi, I didn't see you post anything are you ok?

Cathi, Hello

I hope everyone has a good day.

Sue we are all in agreement, it sounds like a cyst. My hubby gets them in his hairline and armpits and by applying some heat they do open on their own.

My Christmas traditions are not very involved, most of my ornaments are ones that I made with John. When I was growing up, my parents bought the wooden paint yourself ornaments over several years and my mom has given them to the children, it is fun to remember which ones we painted. One set was a Disney set, one set was general Christmas, and one set created 3-dimension ornaments.  Since I was a single parent for many years, I don't put the lights on the outside of the house, but I did get some put up about 5 yrs ago before John went in the Navy. Maybe this year, since he is back he will put them up for me. The Mickey Mouse tree sounds like my mother-in-law, she is crazy about Mickey and doesn't have a tree skirt to go under her tree. I am making her an appliqued tree skirt with 3 Mickey Mouses holding giant candycanes and small packages scattered around. I am about 2/3 of the way done and I need to get busy if I want to get it finished for Christmas.

Enough of my rambling, I need to get back to work.

Love to All

Sheila

Hi all - well jus returned from BS and "Boutique" I now have my started set - I can get molded for the Radiant Impressions in 6/Mo.  They ar ok, and the Bra's are much nicer than what I expected -  the fitter thought I was much younger than I am, so she brought in some more modern ones, I was able to get 4 through BCBS, 2  that have lacing between the cups that give the apperance of a Cami in a V-Neck.  BS does not want me to wear them to long at a time yet, my L side still needs to do some healing from being the radation side -  but she wanted me to be able to get everything through BCBS before my insurance changes,  as they have started the process for the form fitting ones - the law requires them to pay the entire amount as well - YEAH.  Any way they are nice to have around for that special top/dress,  but being without is not all that bad -don't mind at all.  The ladies at the boutique were just wonderful -  found it quite funny when they asked me to pick out colors for the fitted on -  asked we if I wanted "veins - dimples"  and in or out nipples, color didn't matter much -but definetly chose the flat npples -  don't wanna walk around looking like I am freezing all the time.

Well hope everyone is having a great day.

XOXOXOXOXOXO -Cathi

 a quick hello from work.  Sue...I am sure the sisters here are correct...a cyst..nothing to worry about my sweetie!! So, you plan on straightening your hair...I do too.  Today I wore it curly..because it was snowing so much this morning...I thought...heck...no sense in straightening it.

Love hearing about all of the christmas traditions, decorating. I will have to let you know about mine later when I have time to type it all.

Feeling better for the most part. Keep getting the sinus headaches, which then upset my stomach. Done with the antibiotic.....maybe I need a second one.  My bronchitis is much better.  Just tired allot still........grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Dennis is in NYC now, comes home tomorrow.  I will greet him, since he is flying in here...and give him lots of hugs and kisses.  Funny...when I don't see him for 3 or 4 days or more....I really MISS HIM!!!

Ok...back to work.  Love to all of my sisters here!!

Hi ladies!  No time to catch up on posts or write much myself.  I just wanted to let you all know I love you and you're always in my thoughts.

What a gorgeous family picture, Nancy!

I'll try to bbl.

Love and hugs,

Karen

my3girls

Nancy...I will have to view the pic at home...can't see them here at work!

dink

Boy it really sounds wierd that when you have boobs they are just there and you take what was given to you.  Cathi, I didn't know you could make all those choices.  Man, that could get really interesting. LOL

It sounds like everyone is working really hard today.  Lisa, I'm sorry you feel bad.  I can't seem to get my lab results from last week so I am assuming everything is just fine.  I guess it was all of the stress of trying to get things in order with the new business. 

Karen, I hope things are going well for you,  Have you got your land situation settled yet?  I'm sorry about your troubles.

Sue, I still have the ornaments from when my husband and I got married and where we have added on each year.   I feel like since my family are in MS and my immediate family (my husband, children and grandchildren) are all here it's time to start our traditions.  I have put off each year (traditions) because in the back of my mind we would eventually move back to MS but under the current situations - that isn't going to happen.

Well, goodnight everyone.  I hope you all have a good evening and I look forward to seeing (writing and reading) in the morning.

Nancy, I LOVE the picture. It says so much, and you and your daughter are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it.

Christmas is still an unknown for me. I'll just be delighted to have the holidays finished. My son is coming Wednesday to bake pies and rolls for Thanksgiving...our assignment. My youngest daughter is hosting so it will be fun. She's very creative and loves to put together themed gatherings. I wish I had even a tiny drop of her energy!

Wren! It's so good to see you back. When you have a little energy you'll have to fill us in on your latest "adventure" in surgery.

Yes, Leesa, I'm ok, just having a period of fatigue so I'm too tired to write my usual wordy meanderings.

In fact, I'm out of gas right now. Sorry all. I love each of you and send warm hugs!

Hi,

Well, I my surgery involved nipple reconstruction, areolas using eyelid skin, a revision/lift on the left and the cleavage, and a small scar revision on the right.

I am still bandaged up on the nipples but I got a glimpse of them when the dressings were changed last Friday and I am happy.

My eyes are still bruised but I am also pleased with that outcome.

Overall, this surgery made me feel quite worn out, but I am not on any pain meds anymore, just Tylenol. So, even though I'm exhausted, I am doing well.

Hugs!!!

1Cathi

Leesa I thought it was pretty intresting to be able to have all those choices, it was like choosing paint for your home,  I spent a bit of time choosing the actual "BREAST" color, then just quickly grabbed a shade darker for the rest -  I don't expect I'll have to many people looking at them anyway all the choices are for the form fit ones - those I will not be able to have even molded for several months anyway.  I know all the detail is very important for some and I respect that -for me -it is not. 

We are under a freeze/wind chill advisory this AM,  our feels like temp this AM here on the coast is 36 degrees, north of us they are expecting frost - pretty cold for this time of year. 

XOXOXOXOXOXO- Cathi

Wren! You'll be able to wink those nipples! OMG!

Judie - I was thinking this AM in our frigid weather how glad I was not to have any nipples -  no one knew how cold I really was.

But of coarse now I will never be able to win a wet T-Shirt contest again -

portiasproudmom

You guys are cracking me up! 

I'm right there with you in the "out of gas" club, Judie.  I actually have some time to myself today, and I had every intention of writing a nice, long, detailed post.  I started coming down with the crud yesterday afternoon though.  I feel like sh#t!  Sore throat, body aches, congestion, etc.  Blech!!  So I shall go take a nap now.

Leesa, we located an archived document that may solve our property access issue.  I'll let you guys know for sure when we find out.  Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Love and hugs to everyone,

Well, this week my house is once again heavy with the testerone. Not only is John home but Donald is home also. Donald and I went this weekend to the eastern part of the state for his brother's wedding and we both took Monday off. He has tried since Tuesday to get back on the roads but the freight is down for his company and he is taking this week off as a vacation week. I am so used to having the house to myself, now I have to share it with two Men! John has an interview tomorrow with a security company in the next county, the guy was impressed with the experience that John got while in the Navy doing security detail, maybe it will pan out to a job.

1Cathi

Well Shelia - good luck on all accounts, John with the interview and you surving the Testosterone over dose.  Ed always says he is in Estrogen over load, my daughters, granddaughters, female pets, he was so happy when we had a grandson in July  -    we were at Lowes the other day and he already wants to buy him a tool belt and bench. 

my3girls

I think this time of year...at least in the areas where it is cold...this tends to be "out of gas time".  I have felt that way since we changed our clocks back!! Don't do well with short days! I can relate to you Karen!

I miss our Melody!!! WE LOVE YOU MEL!!! WISHING YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS THIS WORLD CAN GIVE YOU!

Sheila...I can totally relate to you not being used to testosterone! Being in a house with only women, it's hard to change that.  Cathi...my ex used to always say whenever we got a pet..it's a male...I need a male..haha.  Since all he lived with was females.

My honey flew in today.  I got to great him with open arms!  I cleaned all of the snow off of his car, since I gave him a parking pass for the employee parking lot. He was so tickled.  He said..you are sooo good to me....I just LOVE YOU!  Today was the first time he saw my hair curly. I usually have it straightened.  He actually likes it better curly!  He kept saying..You look so cute... I will tell you ladies...I am so not used to getting all of the compliments he gives me...it's hard to get used to..but I am liking it! Somebody asked me today...what was different about me..that I seemed so happy...I said..well I am cancer free...maybe that is why.  But I think my inner happiness and contentment with Dennis is probably shinning through.

Well..winding up here at work..and and ready to head out into the bitter cold!! BRRRRRRRRRRRR..

xoxo
