INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hoping my day will get better. Started off on a crazy note, add in Princess getting into everything because she's looking for attention while I'm super busy.

Loveroflife

Jazzy, hope you made it back home. Also, hope that you have the energy to catch up with work. Tough when you are self-employed. Work is almost always where you left it before vacation (hubby is also self-employed). Glad to hear you had a good time. Did you meet any handsome fireman? Wait, are you into fireman like Phyllis? I was going to say cowboy, but I don't think NY has any.

Ms. Chevy, I love it when you share anything about back in the days.

Mommy, take a deep breath......

Loveroflife

Just heard from hubby....the protests/strikes through out Nepal have not calmed down. The political upheaval has caused a huge gas shortage and business is being paralyzed. People have to wait 40 hours+ to get gas. There are miles of cars waiting. Taxi is crazy expensive at this time (if you can find one). I hope the situation will be resolved soon. Orherwise, hubby would have to walk a whole day to the airport. No horses or camels..

Loverly, Is DH safe. Nepal has had such turmoil for years? I enjoyed public TV show about food in Tokyo. Just like the foods you posted always going fr beauty in presentation and good tasting . Can't get a better combo than that. Post pretty foods when you can.

Still working hard on Toradol. I worked so hard yesterday the computer got confused. I thinking it's funny when I confuse the computer. You can imagine what DH would have to put up with.

Quick swim then off to two doc visits.

Hi All- Got a Pm from Blondie and she turns 76 today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLONDIE!!! Hootie Hooo! Hugs and love your way!

Smarty love the crooked house quilt, very fun! Mags that quilted piece is magnificient. Thank you for sharing. I truly think things like that are just "painting" with material- full on artists in every sense of the word. I have been sketching and drawing some ideas I have about what stage 4 means to myself and my Grandmother Mimi who also died of it. I have about 4 drawings completed but they are personal and are without clothes, just torso. If I get over myself I might post them. It would balance the puky pink wash done over the suffering of breast cancer. I resent that all this pinky happy October stuff washes over the very real struggle 25% suffer and die... it ain't nice or fun or pretty in pink.

Phyllis- your winning pergola is BEAUTIFUL! What a great thing to win! Enjoy it. Get some Thompson water seal on it before winter sets in to protect the wood! The only thing I ever won was a 2 ft cat tower in a drawing at our no kill cat shelter... Emmy cat has gleefully shredded it! She came from Friends of Felines so guess she has the right!

Loverof life- Hope your DH is careful and gets safely home. It is such a tragedy there in Nepal. Thank you for your kind words of support. I sometimes feel just insane to try anything considering the odds and my general state of health. It is very hard to say no to my family. DD3 and I had fun making the vegan muffins. From all accounts they were enjoyed by DD2 and hopefully will keep her from starving. She has a habit of running late to class and skipping breakfast, eating a bagel only until dinner. It's not healthy. I wanted to show her baking can be worth the effort, freeze and grab and go! If you are going vegan then it takes planning and effort.

Chevy you are great friend! Love your pictures from the past. Jazzy sounds like the wedding was wonderful. Susan what we go through most folks wouldn't believe it. I get swollen too.. all over. Invasion of the body snatchers! Pop your onc with snarky reply on the weight. I gain 6 pounds every week and they pull off 6 pounds every week... hopeless on my ankles, feet and shins. Just keep trudging along... shuffle shuffle! Patty hope you are home and stay well enough to remain there! Hugs to everyone I didn't mention cause I can't remember everything you all do! Be well.

Ok Blondie.... i am confused. Just got another Pm - "no Birthday was August." So false alarm it's not Blondie's Birthday, but we can wish her a Happy Fall day! Pain meds can mess with the memory.

Jazzygirl

Hi ladies- yes, I made it home with no problem last night. Got home, unpacked the suitcase to throw a load of laundry in, talked to my sister to make sure she got home okay (we seperated for our flights home in Denver), and then CRASHED! I woke up today at 3 a.m. (which was two hours later where I have been the past five days), but went back to bed and slept until 8 a.m. I have a meeting this afternoon and some other calls this week and must get my butt in gear. Moving slo mo this morning.

Chevy- there were some strange looking clouds down here yesterday, and it rained last night. The balloon fiesta is going on now, and it sounds like it may be rainy off and on this week. That has been happening the past few years during the event. I won't be going to the field, I stay away with the crowds, etc.

Loverly- I met some nice men along the way on my trip. Real hottie from Santa Fe on the way home yesterday, but he was married. Everyone told me it was my turn to get married and said "nope!" LOL!

And yes, Blondie's birthday was this summer! Hi to Blondie!

Got some things to get to ladies. Wishing you a good day!

M0mmyof3

Day is finally going the way it should. Except for a few dishes, everything is done! Princess calmed down long enough for me to concentrate.

Jazzygirl

This is off FB and all the posts being shared during the balloon fiesta. Thought you would enjoy!

magdalene51

Well if you're in NYC, there's this guy.

Chevyboy

Mags! That guy is such a dink! I saw him on TV about 10-15 years ago? I mean WTH is he THINKING? Looks like he is on train-tracks? Maybe he should just stay there.... He is just a local pan-handler..... they say.

Ah geez.... I just looked up Naked Cowboy on Google Images.... and found a LOT more good looking guys on there...Hah! But sorry.... can't post them here.....

Enerva

happy birthday blondy

SMARTY I am making this top now lol

Ll post when is done lots of fun easy to make

sas-schatzi

Oh Enerva=--------------what price do they have on that thing-----I will say it again even though it's not the popular thing to do. Go to the Small Business Administration. You have a gift of skill with hand work. You can create something of beauty. Whatever the job you have.........you can do so much more because you can share withh the family. Hand work is a dying art.

Not only developing an empire for sales, you could establish a school.

Enevera------Honey will you make me one. if yes, How much? Ahahah. Value. Value is established at point of sale

How do you value you're work? How do you value you're cousin's work?

Oh Enerva, wonderful women, you have the door too wonders that you won't open

I still much love you even if you choose to not open the door.

But not knowing what is beyond that door, how do you deal with that?

sas-schatzi

I'm not a bitch.............. wonders can be known and then we get to say we knew her when

Smaarty

Ohhhhhhhh, enerva, I want one too! Make mine emerald green, size 40" bust. How much? Anytime before February 6. Not kidding.

sas-schatzi

SEE

Jazzygirl

Got some news tonight from a friend/colleague that she has Stage 2 lung cancer. Why does it seem everybody has cancer?

sas-schatzi

Because..............we are surrounded by chemicals

sas-schatzi

Oh, That was a shoot from the hip response................ but not far off.

Jazzygirl

Agreed Sassy. Going to call my friend in the next few days. She lives in AZ.

Made me think of the new MD Anderson commercial: You tried to take us all. I always add, under my breath, you took my boobs.

The subject of Anderson came up in our cancer support group. Almost everyone said that their families urged them to go to Anderson. But then we discovered that they all talk to each other, consult with each other. Our leader, who had an aggressive and rare cancer, had a host of oncologists because she was in a trial. When her mom suggested Anderson, to get a second opinion, she replied, I have nine second opinions.

Two of us have the same oncologist, and I learned that he didn't "cookie cutter" our treatment. Because of her early stage, he gave her a choice and options he didn't give me. But we both love him.

A dear friend's brother died of cancer yesterday. It's trying to take everyone.

mema4

I'm sorry Jazzy. It does seem that way. I don't know why but it seems like it's so common we are becoming desensitized to hearing that news.

M0mmyof3

Hubby got up early and let me sleep until alarm went off, he even made me coffee when I came down.

Chevyboy

It's only 49 degrees out! Can you believe it? Supposed to warm up into the 70's later, but not soon enough. Got a lot of the Summer "stuff" put away or covered for the inevitable snow that is coming.

Still have to organize my Winter clothes, and make them more accessible than my Summer ones! Do you guys in Florida even know what I'm talking about? Or do you even know what "boots" are? Or anything close-toed? Ha!

Patrolling my area..........

This is somewhere else..........

Jazzygirl

Mags- I am sorry for your friends loss of a brother to cancer.

Chevyboy

Yes, sorry Mags.... It's like every time we hear this, it hits close to home........ sorry.
