Thinking Out Loud.....

Good Night Sisters♥

Nice new pic, Sheila.  Is it in honor of 9/11.

Chris, I just noticed that you and I have the same dx.  You had chemo and I didn;t.  Kind of scares me.  Did you have an oncotyoe test?  If so, what was your score?

My boys are 11.9 and 15 going on 45.

chrisct

Your boys are more mature than I am!  I think I stopped maturing at age 16.  I still feel like a kid.  Emotionally, that is.  Physically - that's another story...

My oncotype dx score was 22.  I think tumor size might also play into it - mine was 1.5cm.  I was surprised after I had clean nodes that my surgeon said I might still need chemo.  I thought I was out of the woods on that one.  But with the intermediate oncotype dx score and 1.5 cm grade 2 tumor, I fell into the intermediate range that they don't know how to treat.  They don't really know whether chemo is that effective for intermediate people.  My path report also said there were "foci suspicious for lymphovascular invasion present" which sounded ominous to me.  So when my med onc told me it was my decision whether to do chemo, I asked her what her other patients in my situation do and she said they do the chemo.  So I did the chemo.  T/C x 4.   I'm also the type who would be really regretful later if it progressed or recurred and I hadn't done the chemo. 

Baking more today...  Watch us not sell anything.  My DD and her friend baked cookies yesterday and her friend baked brownies last night after band rehearsal.  So we are going to have a lot of treats to sell.  I hope we can sell some of it.  I wish I knew how to post pics.  I got this Spiderman 3-tier cardboard dessert tray thingy.  I think it's funny.

Oh- and I heard what some of the girls are doing for their costumes.  One girl was trying to hunt down those Hulk hands that make sounds when you punch things with them.  The girl who is going to be Aquaman is going to wear goggles and swimmies ( the blow-up things kids wear on their arms) and carry around my DD's stuffed fish pillow type thing.  I think that's funny.  Probably no one will know why she is dressed that way.  Maybe we should all wear "Hello, my name is" name tags... 

Makratz

LOL!!  They are NOT mature, especially the 15 year old!! 

I'm sure you will sell all of your baked goods.  People always buy them especially when its for such a good cause.

I would love to see pics when your team is all dressed up!  Are you on facebook?  If not maybe you could send some pics via private messages.  It sounds like so much fun!

Happy Baking!!

Good Morning.

Yes it is for 9/11, One of the most scary and sad day in my life right in my own backyard it was terrible just terrible.

Some of my neighboors were missing or no words from them. I remember the relief when finally made home. I relieve that day minute by minute every year

I think we should all relive that day minute by minute - lest we forget.  And we cannot forget.

I saw a news report the other night about a 9/11 memorial and it got me thinking about the fact that our Relay will still be going on until 10 am on 9/11.  I remembered that the first plane hit the first tower at 8:46 am, but I didn't remember all the other times so I Googled it.  It seemed as though something horrible happened about every 15-20 minutes that day.  I remember sitting, watching the news that morning wondering when it was going to stop - how much more was going to happen.  My son was in kindergarten at the time - he was in afternoon kindergarten so he was still home.  I wasn't sure if I should keep him out of the room or not - figured he wouldn't really understand what was going on, but it still might be scary.  I set him up in the other room with some coloring and things to do, but he came into the room I was in from time to time.  He saw the north tower on fire on tv and went and got his fire truck. 

So after I saw the timeline of the events of 9/11 and was reminded of all that happened, my mind started going - thinking of things we should or could do at the Relay - especially since last week when I went to a Relay meeting, there was a guy there getting info on putting together a team - a team of people who recently returned from Iraq.  I think it is even more important that we do something to recognize that it is 9/11 if they camp out and are still there at that time.  The band is supposed to be there at 9am to have a rehearsal - they will perform some music at 9:30 - but it was just the music they have been rehearsing - not 9/11 related.  I was thinking that it was too bad that they wouldn't be there at 8:46 - after a moment of silence, perhaps they could play the National Anthem or something.  My DD plays trumpet, but doesn't have the confidence to play Taps.  I thought Taps might be appropriate. She has a friend who also plays trumpet who just started college as a music major and she has played Taps during the ceremony at the Town Green after the Memorial Day Parade and also at some Veterans' ceremonies.  I tried to get my DD to ask her if she was going to be around Saturday morning - maybe she could play Taps.  But my daughter didn't ask - to my knowledge.  The friend might have rehearsal herself and might not be able to do it, but I thought it would be nice if she were available.  It's too bad I think of these things too late to make them happen.

Makratz

It is definitely a day that we will never forget.

sheila888

Okay its time to start my day. Laundry first. I want some fish for dinner. maybe I go to the fish market later.

I just bought more fish.  DH hates it but wants to try to eat it since he needs to lose weight and kick the meat habit.  I'm making it with a salsa auce, another with onions and peppers and then a third that is PLAIN!!  The plain is for me!  I wish he would like it.

Sandy

Makratz

Hey Bonnie, do you have any ideas on how to make my DH eat fish??  I could stuff it in a beer bottle!
Get some rest Sandy.  Maybe you would feel better if you ate some AG??

sheila888

Hi Bonnie.

Sandy..its very overwhelming when you are dealing with different issues. You definitely need to be on a deserted island for few days and we will follow you there.

Linda...When Natalie was little she never ate meat used to call it kaka. One day i made chicken cutlets and she loved it. After that every meat product was called chiken cutlets.

I just had a big bunch of AG and the last leftover piece of the rotisserie chicken. I dont know if it was meant to be lunch or breakfast.

Maybe he would like deep fried crispy fish and then its not healthy anymore.

Im tired I think the fish store has to wait until tomorrow.

(((((♥DEB♥)))))

Makratz

Yers, he would eat it fried but I'm not frying for him.  I do like your mustard idea, I could do something like that and bake it.

My youngest hates all food.  The only meat he eats is chicken so I call everything chicken.  LOL.  He still doesn't eat anything.

Gotta go for my walk.

blondiex46

Stand up for cancer, feel the need to donate, not sure why, but.....I want to walk with you!!!

Sandy  

sheila888

I was watching it but I started to have an anxiety attack, dont know exactly why.

Maybe it really hit me that they were  talking about me. And the cancer word was used in every second. I dont know. I feel very strange right now.

Makratz

I can't watch those shows.  I'm aawful glad they do them and people donate, but I cannot watch.  I'm a cry baby!

sheila888

We were so close actually we could see the smoke clouds.

It was a terrible day. I can never forget what happened that day and following.......

I relieve it every year. cable man was here that morning to fix something and the channels were disappearing from the screen. Nobody knew exactly what was happening. He called his supervisor to tell him that he was having difficulty to bring the channels back. I have the customer receipt from that day marked Sept 11. I kept it.

2 of my neighboors lost family members one was 32 year old and the other one was 55 year old woman

This was a very sad day for the entire country.

sheila888

What a nice picture. you made my night.

You know what even thou I wasnt born here this was my country the day I entered to US.

I am a proud American and I love my country.
