    Diane - my fan busted!!!  No kidding!  Laura (not Estepp - the other one) was using it and a piece broke off.  Didn't think about it until I tried to use it again and the pin that holds the blades together was fastened on one side only.

    But no worries - Laura - I got it FIXED!  I went over to my coffee buddies house and her husband is a retired aerospace engineer so I asked him to fix it - didn't care what it looked like but to fix it and he did a great job -  you would never know!   Love having that husband around because I always go to him when I need something fixed.  If I give it to my own husband it will sit there for weeks and even months before he gets around to it.

    Diane - Thanks again for the bras!  I now have fancy ones instead of ugly maternity bras.  Where did you get those - what store?  It is so hard to find nice pretty bras that are not padded and have no underwire.

    Heymoose - you crack me up!  thanks for showing me how to play the penny slots.  I got up to $30 and then ended up cashing out at $15 before I headed to the airport.  Love the mermaid penny slot machine now!    Thanks to you I have my very first ankle bracelet!

    Got to shower - more later.

    Sylvia & Terry 

    It was great meeting you two Canadian gals.  Sorry you had such a crappy flight home.  We were stuck in the plane for over 2 hours on the tarmac before flying out - but what the heck didn't ruin all the fun we had all weekend.

    Hope to see you both again next year - Love and hugs to all my new tata sisters - Saskie

    OOOOOPS - I ended up with both airport signs in my luggage.  Last year's sign and this year's sign.  Laura - I was in your room several times and totally forgot to give you back your frame from last year.

    I guess once again this means I HAVE TO COME NEXT YEAR so I can collect next year's sign also. :)

    Greetings to the most FABULOUS, BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING, COURAGEOUS women I've ever met!  I could not have imagined a more perfect weekend!  My only regret is not chatting with everybody as much as I'd loved.  I vote for "speed dating" next year, too! 

    No more can I say I'm "Val the Vegas Virgin!"

    Meet & Speed Greet!!!  The best idea ever!!! 

    It was hard to talk at the bars because the music was loud ~ although we somehow managed to shout at each other.  The "dancers" could probably hear us ~~ Ha!!!

    Am enjoying all of my wonderful memories over and over again.  Everyone is SO beautiful and full of life and love.  Stumbling on to BCO was the best thing that happened to me after this diagnosis.

    Like Deborah's strategy of leaving her stuff behind for Laura to ship.  Remind me to do that next year.  I shopped too much (entirely Gisella and Marge's fault) and looked like a sherpa on the way to the lobby.

    Was so happy to be with Val when she lost "it".

    I had an AMAZING time!! Let me just say I have a "baseline" for starting to work out.  My legs are sore from walking and dancing. I LOVE it! Special THANKS to everyone who had part in the planning!!

    I agree with the Meet & Greet for next year.  LADIES!! I can't wait till next year!!

    I have to say my favorite part of this get together was the piano bar. What a blast we all had there!          I also agree to the speed dating that is a wonderful idea just to get to know everyone a bit better! Can't wait to next year! So glad I found this site and so many wonderful women.. Totally amazing. :)

    Colleen - I really had to think hard to figure out your comment on Val and "losing it" - I thought....hmmmmmm was there some male action going on that I didn't know about or did Val "lose it" by shopping too much.

    I know...I am dense sometimes - just like my boobies!

    It was so great to meet and talk to the newbies this year.  I am so hoping that you had enough fun that ya'll will come back again next year.

    OK ladies, uploaded pictures in facebook for those of you that have an account.  I will upload the pictures to packers website in Shutterfly tomorrow or sometime hopefully before the end of the week. 

    Colleen I do not take responsibility for the shopping, I was not confused and the "fashion expert" that works at The Loft.....LOL.

    Have a great picture.

    I have been sick since I got home!!!Urrgghhh.. I have the worst sore throat and my ears are killing me.. Guess I am not the only one who is feeling down and out...I also think the trip was well worth it Suzie.

    My next surgery is not scheduled till November 9.. I think I am going to look for a new PS though.. I really think I need fat grafting bad for this step-off that I hate so much.. My PS seems to think it looks natural. NOT!!!

    Finally back home.  I have to say that I came to BCO out of a desperate need for information, not necessarily companionship or friendship.  I went to Las Vegas last year on a total whim not knowing what to expect.

    This year I knew what I was in for and I found that I no longer think of all of you as blank faces and words on a page.  I think of all of you as friends---essential friends.  Amazing, wonderful, strong, beautiful friends.

    To those of you who brought gifts, thank you for your kindness and generosity.  To everyone, thank you for the gift of friendship.  To the organizers, thank you for making it all possible.  To Tracey-this was your brainchild and look what it turned into.  It is because of you that we all had the opportunity to make new friendships.

    OK ladies....midnight in Seattle.  SOMEONE has got to go to bed!!

    Love to you all

    Tracy

    OK I am uploading pictures in Packer's site right now.  It should be ready this afternoon.

    Last year if we wanted access, we PM Packer and she would send you a link via email with he password to gain access to it.  IO have the link and could send it to you the problem is I forgot the password.  OOP's. 

    If I find the password I will email you the Link since I have your email

    Hugs
