    Linda - happy for your good news!  Any nail clippers in the waiting room?

    Sheila - how are you doing? No pain I hope.

    Meece - I bet your party was wonderful.

    Chris - you've got me craving Oreo's tonight but alas, there are none.You are amazing to run twice in a day.

    Deb - come out, come out wherever you are.

    Ducky - how is your weekend going?

    Chabba - are you loving this weather?

    My little bummer update - we aren't going forward with the house.  When they pulled the title, we learned of several liens, one relating to an unresolved lawsuit.  Did they think we wouldn't find out?  Homeless again.  I wish some houses would come on the market! This weekend is my friends of friends shopping at Diane's sale by appointment.  Next weekend will be my garage sale.My DH and his dad were sent to the cabin because though they try, they aren't really helpful and still expect to be fed.  Decision was made when I was sorting out donations and items to sell.  FIL just couldn't understand selling so much even when with the reminder that we are downsizing. DH wants me to keep souvenirs from 30 years ago leading me to conclude that they need to not be present for the process.  They're happy, I'm happy.  Now I am waiting up for DD to get home from Jeff Foxworthy.  She just texted me that she's pretty sure she is not a redneck :)

    Where is everybody? Hope everyone was out enjoying the day. (or having success cleaning out the house)

    I'm on a roll - ran 2x today. Instead of my 2.5 mile loop, .8 mile walk and 1 mile "run," I ran 2.5 earlier and 2.5 later. And it was cool enough that I even did it in good time! I probably won't be able to walk tomorrow. I hope I can keep this up so maybe I can get rid of this roll of a gut I'm sporting. I'm disgusted by pictures of me - my mid-section is huge! It has GOT to go. No more yo-yo-ing.

    Now I have to clean the showers and take a shower.

    No nail clippers.......I will think of you whenever I see one!

    Deb - good point but they are UGLY.  Ill do anything as long as I don't have to keep them!

    Chris - I am so impressed but damn, why am I not inspired to be like you.  I wish I were.

    Linda - I know the right place will come but it's very disconcerting for me to not now - I am too controlling for this to be the case :)

    Sheila - yay on the Carvel - we don't even have that here.

    It will happen Diane.  Maybe you would like to move back here.... a little cottage on Chappy?  If so, please have a guest house as I will be visiting!

    I;m thinking I am going to send you each one of the souvenirs that DH wants me to save:)

    Linda - you can bet your booty that if I had a place on Chappy, it would have a guest house.

    That said, my current "cabin" sure is a great place to visit.

    Sushi night for DD and me - yum.

    Please - no souvenirs - I'm drowning in all of our stuff as it is!  ;)

    Diane, you probably don't need to be inspired to do all this running - you probably eat well and are in good shape.  Though I would still run even if I were in good shape.  I like to run and challenge myself.  I would love to run another half marathon - not sure that is ever going to happen if I can barely run 2.5 miles at a time anymore.  :(  I was in better shape at the end of tx  3 yrs ago than I've been in the last 2 years.  I don't know what happened.  I was already this fat back then, so it isn't that I gained weight.  And I've been running all along.  Dr. has no answers - of course.  They never do. 

    Gotta get ready for church - need to pick up the in-laws.

    Enjoy the day, everyone.  ((((((TOL))))))

    Sheila..........thanks for asking................it went well.................got my new Ipad 3rd generation, and my 12 year old grandaughter set it up for me...............imagine that.......I'm not as smart as a 6th grader...............helped my daughter (her mother) scrape wallpaper from her "rented home" Friday and Saturday", and then last night (Saturday) went with her to babysit my 2 great-grandaughters (the twins), while their mother and father went to a wedding..........."what a night"...........love them, but "OMG" what a difference from when I raised my kids.....................they eat nothing.......sleep is a joke.........."from being held all the time from when they were born".......................1 is very demanding, while the other has a disability, and she is a "sweetheart" who makes me almost cry everytime I am with her........you all know that story of her birth................so it was an interesting night...........needless to say I enjoyed the sleep after getting home at 1am...............

    Today is just a day to do nothing.......well I could work in the "hovel", but not sure I feel like doing that........I have all week.........not taking care of the kids anymore since they are back in school..........not called on till 3pm to get grandaughter off the bus..........

    Maybe I'll wash windows......................nah.......I can still see out of them, and its suppose to rain on Tuesday anyway........lol..............

    By the way my oldest son (grandfather of the twins, his daughters, and grandaughters, gave me a gorgeous neckless the other night...............along with a book written by Dr. Oz. called Living with Breast Cancer.............the neckless is white gold,...........a heart on a fine chain.......on the heart is engraved.....strength....hope...cure........and the BC insigna hangs on a seperate hook, in front of the heart, and that is "Pink" Swvorski crystals.............it is really beautiful..........and so thoughtful............he went to a benefit for the mother of a woman he works with.......all the proceeds go to BC research, and this was in the "silent auction", and his bid won..............when he gave it to me he said................"my father died of cancer, and I was upset.....now you have cancer...and it has change my life"...........I value you, more now then I ever have..................he is a wonderful son.................ok, guess I bored you enough.......have a great Sunday..............hugs.

    He is such a wonderful person.........he will call me for no reason, and say "hey Mom, what are you doing"........and it can be anytime..............usually I say "nothing, why what's up", and he will say.........be over in 10 mnutes we're going to " lunch, or dinner", whichever time of the day it is......................he is the oldest of the 6..............on the day I got my call for a redo.......I didn't say anthing to anyone, figuring it was routine...................it happened once before..................after finding out, I called my youngest daughter, and said "Hey Nik, I'm at the BS office, they found cancer".................she was so upset, and at work in center city about 40 minutes away................there I was sitting there, by myself, literally seeing my life pass before me , when the nurse came in and said "you have a visitor".............here my daughter called my this son (who works in the area of the BS's office), and he came right over..............when he came into the room, and saw me, he said "hey Mom, your in for the fight of your life, but cancer has no idea who it picked to play with"..........." your gonna whip cancer's ass".......................right then I was sure I was gonna be ok........how could I not be with him having that much confidence in me............

    He was at every appt....biopsy....consult....surgery.....and was there to take me home........I have 6 children, but that is just one of them.......and I say this because a lot of times "sons" are not always there.........he was.......

    All the others were too, especially my youngest daughter........her and my son drove me to every radiation appt, and all Dr.'s appts..........even though I was very capable of driving myself......I am blessed.........

    The shower was very nice.  I was so tired from being on my feet all day.  We made sugar cookies made like dresses, scones, cucumber, egg salad, and olive sandwiches, linzer cookies, cake pops and more.  We did have a bakery make the champagne cake.  It really hit me that this is all really happening, and soon.

    Today we sign the closing papers for the house - I think it is very telling that I feel nothing but happiness about this.  After all we have been through, I just have no attachment to this house.  Now, if I could just find one that I do feel that for :)

    Packing like crazy - so much to donate and I hope someone enjoys these things as I have.

    Sheila - glad you are feeling well.  You can prepare for a nice relaxing day at home tomorrow in the rain.

    Linda - how is working?

    Meece - very impressive.  I also admire you.

    Sandy - hope every day you feel a bit better.

    Hugs to all the TOL members.  Off to another box.
