Hi all,

I'll be bringing a guest to the luncheon, January 12th....... I call her "10 extra pounds since Thanksgiving" !!!!!!!

Look forward to scarfing up some salmon, potatoes or rice!

Well, sorry, but you won't get to see my extra 10 poundz from TG/Xmas. I just booked a flight to go see my daughter the weekend of Jan 10th. Waaahhh! I kept thinking, NO I can't go then, I'll be at the Cheesecake Factory with the BC sisters. But the prices were really good for our flight and higher the next weekend which is MLK. I'll have to catch up with you ladies at CF next time! Maybe I will lose the extra weight by then...

Galsal

awwww, enjoy your trip though

Hi ALL!  I'm a little late checking in this year!    So glad to see another get together so soon!  I would love to see all of you again!  Count me in!!!  

I know I'm a little late, but so happy to hear your good news on the BRCA1 test Sal!

I am very happy to see ameron able to join again, but will miss shells. Have a great and safe trip!

Sorry we will miss you, Shells, but have a great trip!

I took off next Friday & Saturday so I won't have to rush back to work (now that I can actually use my paid time off for something other than surgery, LOL). I think we are going to see Todd Snider @ Skipper's Friday night.

shells, gonna miss you  but enjoy your visit with your daughter !   ameron, glad you're joining the party! wow, this is going to be a big group on the 12th.  .... can't wait!

firework, you can't have just salmon, potatoes or rice....you need fruit!

DLL, you are starting the new year off right, paid time off for FUN !   

MondaysChild

Lee7, sooooooooooooooo bad!

DLL66, paid time off? Soooooooooooooo good!

firework1068

Lee7, you're a bad influence on me..........I like that!

DLL66

Lee7=Queen of Temptation! You are really going to put everyone's willpower to the test.

Well asked hubby about going up today. He said ok as long as he can find someone to cover for him in case of an emergency. Most of the time I love having our own company, but there are time I hate it! Wish us luck finding someone.

Galsal

Good luck Kira...you deserve good things to happen. 

Lee7

OK...I'm going to try to be a better influence.  

from the SkinnyLicious menu....Turkey Burger and salad anyone?  I know there's still a bun involved (sorry Special K, you can toss it to the side).    I truly admire anyone who can give up all bread, or cheesecake for that matter.

kira1234

Wish I could like that burger. It's making me hungry!

I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.  

If anyone on chemo is using or wants to use Biotene Dry Mouth Mouthwash, I have a new, unopened bottle, I would be happy to give you.  Just let me know, respond or pm me and I'll bring it on Sat.

Hi all! I want to introduce myself. My name is Pam and I am near Brandon. I may be able to go. My son has soccer starting at 9am and I am not sure how long the game will be. I asked my husband if he would take me to the International Mall after the game and he seemed receptive. My eight year old was saying no, he did not want to go to the mall so I may have a problem!!!

I do love cheesecake. It is my favorite. Plus, I really would like to meet you fellow Tampa Gals. I wonder if I will recognize everyone if I go??? I am easy to spot. My hair is supershort still. My picture is my wig. I went to the restaurant once and I remember it being big.

Hope I can go.

Pam

SpecialK

Hi Pam - hope you can go!  We would love to see you there!

Galsal

no cheesecake?  NOOOOOO

MondaysChild

Pam,

Come by for whatever time you might be able to stay.  We start gathering when the place opens at 11:30am and stay a loooooooong time.  Last time in November we did not start leaving until well after 2pm. 

Lee7

For you Sal,

Pam, welcome!!  Hope you'll be able to join us all Saturday.  As you can see, the cheesecake alone is worth the trip!! 

MondaysChild

No cheesecake?  As if!  Galsal, we are exempt from all cheesecake calorie absorption. That is one of those long-term, late-term side effects of cancer treatment.  I just read about it on PubMed.  I swear... 

Lee7

Monday's child, will you make the reservation for the same section ? I'll share my cheesecake with you.

MondaysChild

Yes, I will be happy to take care of that.  If we have fabulous weather, would you rather be on the side patio where all the people walk by? Maybe we can make fun of some of them and stuff...  (just kidding).

Oh, crap.  I just saw the piece of cheesecake you posted.  You totally own me now.

Lee7

What's the seating like on the patio? Can we push a bunch of tables together so we can all talk?   I'm fine with the patio as long as it non-smoking. 

MondaysChild

The patio can do long seating like we have had inside, but good point about the smoking.  Last I saw, they do allow smoking outside. I thought a little breeze and sunshine might do us good if it was in the 70s that day, but not if smoke gets in our eyes. (PLEASE don't let that song get stuck in my head!)

Lee7

Lucky for you I only learned how to post pictures, not sound clips!!!

shells43

I gained two pounds just looking at that last cheesecake pic!

DLL66

Lee7, you are really bad!  I always order from the Skinnylicious menu--that burger & salad looks really good!

Hopefully I won't have a black eye when you see me Saturday. Just split my eyebrow open when I hit my head on the edge of a laminate counter at work.
