Oh my.. I have a HUGE foot in my mouth. I am sorry Kjbell...

Sometimes I do not think.. AT ALL.( have any of you known that girl who was book smart.. had the degrees... but had NO COMMON SENSE... .me me me)
I was just really thinking dress up cloths.. if we go out somewhere...I should have chosen better words than strappy. You would think I would learn. My mother is a full figured woman. I will say something STUPID.. like I just did here tonight.. and Mom will tell me that I need to take a close look at her size.. then my size... and rephrase... SO SO SORRY..
I feel bad...:(.... and I am sorry.
I will reword my question... and not be so arrogant...
Are any of you gals bringing dress up attire for any evenings out. If so.. what are you bringing?
YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOOSE weight to meet all of us.. we are just coming together because we have something SO MUCH IN COMMON.. we all had BC. I am very, very sorry if I hurt anyones feelings... you can thump me upside my head in Vegas....I am used to it..lol.....
-
THING... OMGOSH.... THONG...
I just need to stop posting tonight.. I am not doing it very well.....
I got home from work about 9.. and am just still wound up... typing to fast and NOT thinking.....
-
FYI packer... THAT really was funny.... "thing and cousin It"... Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You sound like a riot!
Anyway.. I am still pouting over here... for being a jerk... (bleck).. but had to say to you.. THAT was funny.. and I do LOVE a good funny!
-
Awh Laura you don't have a mean bone in your body- you would have to go to the store to rent them if you ever needed them. Gosh sorry I poked fun at that thing bikini- just feeling sassy tonight. Your too sweet to be thinking about how your words came across.... We love you.
-
Oh Laura-I am not upset if that is the way the post came off...Vegas is hot and yes, I will wear something strappy (gulp) to stay cool. My hot flashes are worse in hot weather, so I will be sweaty in something strappy, lol.
-
... I hope not.. I just get so mad at myself for thinking so wrong at times... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... I probably get mad at myself.. and no one else is...lol....
PG ... I just thought your post was a riot...
-
I don't know what the weather is supposed to be like, but I will most likely bring capris and maybe some shorts if it is warm. Some tanks maybe???
Laura-I can tell already I am going to like you. I totally recognize myself in you-I beat myself up if I think I have upset or disappointed someone. Generally I beat myself up and then find out that I am the only one upset about it and no one else has even noticed. So knowing exactly how you are feeling, I can only tell you this....Quit worrying! No one is taking offense to the words that you choose and we are all inspired by your enthusiasm. We are all going to have a great time no matter what. Relax Girl!

We just returned from Vegas and the temp was 109 degrees at 3 p.m. Also, the Los Angeles area fire is blowing thick smoke right through L.V., so it is smoky and miserable there as well---it's just as bad as it is here just south of Los Angeles. With the big fire expected to continue burning for another couple of weeks at least, I wouldn't plan any strenuous outdoor activities unless this mess is cleared up by then. Luckily, most of the fun in Vegas is indoors!!
-
One good thing about Vegas, is anything goes. You will see a slinky dressed women right next to someone in jeans. It would be fun to dress up a bit. I never get to dress up!
-
Ok... I feel better I did not totally offend...
I just kick myself for not thinking about certain things...
Tracey.. you are right...:)
I did not even thing about the smoke... That you for telling us! Sound terrible.
Well.. hopefully in three weeks is will be somewhat cooler and the smoke will be less.. or gone. Did you all hear they think it was arson....:( Those poor people... I would be so so mad..
Have a great day girlies.. off to work for me again... then will be shopping tonight for a party I am throwing Sunday ... may last pool party of the season....
Just family and close friends..:) -
I usually walk around with my foot in my mouth. Oh well, so is life. Vegas is getting closer.
Can't wait for fun in the sun and drinks in the dark!

MAN I HAVE BEEN MISSING THE PARTY OVER HERE!!! SHEESH!
I think we all will wear whatever we want that makes us feel good. Laura wear something little and strappy! I will probably wear something big and strappy. :-) I don't have much that fits me since I'm so faaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttt, but I'm dealing with it and I know once we meet nothing like what we wear will even matter! I can HARDLY WAIT TO MEET ALL OF MY TATA SISTAHS!!!
First of all thank all of you for the kind words for my mixed feelings of yesterday, my anniversary of my diagnosis. You all are THE BEST!!!
I went to get a nail fill. I was telling her what I wanted for my Vegas trip...so we were chatting away and I mentioned to her one of my nails hurt...so when she took the acrylic off we noticed....it has totally receded down halfway! It looks like the whole nail is going to come off! All during chemo I didn't have my acrylic nails since the chemo I had made the nails reced and possibly fall off. When I was done with chemo my hair started to grow and so did my nails. I waited a couple of months for the nails to grow out then I got my acrylics again...I truly cannot go without them....anyway so now I don't know what's causing it! Could it be the herceptin?? Tamoxifen?? After shock of chemo??? What do y'all think??
Anyway...I am headed back to my hometown...a childhood girfriend whom I got together with at our reunion this last July...we will be going together. We have search and search and have finally found our 5th grade teacher. He made such an impact on all of us! He was 22, we were his first class! So he's like 11 years older than us...he was by far the coolest guy...I could go on and on about all the fun things we did in his class and all that he implemented...he also told us to look him up when we turned 18...well I thought for sure he would marry me...dang it! All of us girls had a crush on him when we were 11! Ha...anyway he is beyond touched that we even remember him let alone us feeling that he made such an impact on us. So he is so excited to meet up with us...we are so excited to meet up with him. He and his wife will be meeting us tomorrow in my hometown where he taught and hasn't lived there in many years. What he doesn't know is, we have gathered up a lot of our 5th grade class mates who also want to see him! He thinks he is meeting the two of us...but an hour later everybody else will show up!! SO FUN!!
Then I come back home and go to a bachleorette party...I suppose by now y'all have noticed I am the party girl. :-)
Anyway...keep the Vegas talk going I will chime in when I get back!! I haven't talked to Susie so I'm not too sure how she is doing. She lives like an hour and half away from me. I notice she hasn't been online so she might be back in the hospital...urgh her hubby was suppose to keep me in the loop. I will let you know what I find out.
Also still no word from DV8Q!
Have an AWESOME weekend girls!!!
TATA SISTAHS ROCK!!!
HUGS! Janet

LOL Estepp - I was thinking last night if I should pack a "black dress" for an evening out and then thought - that would mean heels, etc. I have two sun dresses that I am going to pack - believe me, nothing fancy at all - just cool for when walking about. I can't fit into my capris and I only have a couple of outfits that fit me down since chemo. I am not sure my "larger" black dress will even fit.
Oh, and I plan on bringing a few of my sexy LONG wigs for anyone that wants to have fun with them!
-
well I do have thing (thong) underware but no bikini's for anybody to see : - )
Laura thanks for making me laugh... I needed this today... just feeling a little stressed trying to get my house back in order after being gone so much
for cloths I will probably bring kakhi shorts or skirts and cool tops
a nice dress would be a good idea also
-
109 in Vegas? OMG! I'm already hot enough all the time with hot flashes! Eeeeek! So, for clothes I plan to just bring shorts, maybe one cool skirt, and tees/tanks/other cool tops. I have one easy-to-pack tropical/Hawaiian style dress I'll bring in case we all dress up and go to a show together; that would be such fun! No thing or thong or bikini for me; being one of the full-figured gals, I'll bring my humble one-piece suit, and a super-size coverup to hide behind.
I'm glad there's so much to do indoors, like seeing the dolphins and white tigers at our hotel, and shopping, and shows, and shopping....
-
So much for bringing my sun dresses. I tried one on tonight to go out to dinner with dh and it was too tight!I think I will be stuck wearing shorts and t-shirts and bringing one pair of jeans with me.
-
I am glad I am not the only one who has outgrown their clothes-misery loves company! But as we all know, it is whats inside that counts. Your outside can change at the drop of a hat, but it is who you are inside that makes you attractive. And we are all beautiful because we are survivors!
10 days ago I fell at work at landed smack on my face. I still have a big lump on my forehead and 2 black eyes, although they are finally starting to fade somewhat. I hope the lump will be gone in time for the trip. Now I will worry about my arm swelling and a blood clot breaking loose in flight. It will be a 2 ativan trip, lol
-
Ladies.. WHAT is it with CHEMO and WEIGHT GAIN! I understand.. it blows...
Jancie.. am I still doing your hair??:)
Ok... I will bring long shorts.. capri's.. jeans... and I will bring a strappy dress.. and some heals for evening... if needed..
I will admit.. since I am ALMOST 5ft tall.. I have worn high heals my entire life.. no different than tennis shoes for me...:)
For those who have not been to Vegas.. there is a LOT of walking... so bring the shoes you can walk A LOT in and NOT hurt your feet or lower backs... ( we are NOT spring chickens...LOL)
I LOVE sight seeing.. shopping... too... Since DH will be sitting at home... worrying about me the whole time I am gone...LOL.. ( poor guy).. I will want to buy him a tee shirt... or something..:)
I am so excited... such a JOY at the end of a HORRIFIC Year or two for us all.... I tell all my clients about it.. they ARE AMAZED that we are all jumping in a plane.. ( or car.. Deb and Peg) and flying across usa to meet..

I WONDER.. are we the biggest reunion from BCO.. or has there been groups of over 20 doing this.. I think it is just wonderful!
-
((((kjbell))))
BE CAREFUL sister.... lordy.... stay upright will ya??
-
My foot got caught on one of the many wires under the automatic bed of a nursing home patient. I fell straight down and landed on my forehead! How I didn't break anything I will never know. But my face was horrifying. I am going to see a doctor next week to make sure I can fly. The employee doctor told me I could go back to work the next day! Unbelievable.
If you have never been to Vegas, it is hot outside, but as you get in the hotels it really gets cool. I always bring a light jacket that I can throw in my bag for those times.
-
Estepp - I would be so disappointed if you didn't do my hair!! I have been putting off doing anything at all because I want you to fix me up!
LMAO - almost 5' tall? We will be quite the pair since I am just 5' and 1/2" - yep.....when you are short, those 1/2" mean alot!
-
lots of us short gals here.....:) bring the color with you Jancie..
and get with me BEFORE I we leave... I need to know what to bring...:) -
Hey I'll fit right in! Ok I might just tower over you....I'm 5'2". :-)
-
Jazzygem - Sometimes I feel like those chubby figures from the old Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Short and stout - ok that sounds better than short and overweight. -
Hi Sista's!! I just spoke with Jazzy last nite, so she feels better. I'm at a lost for words as far as what the heck is going on with me. My Family is in a up roar-so tryng to keep them calm as well. Dr. took a culture-waiting for results, temp. is down to 99.3,so things aren't too bad.
talking about dates of our news...my 2nd mamogram was on August 29/ 07 & I had to rush back to hopsital as soon as I got home, biospy next day,then got the news day after labor day I had Cancer.In the next 2 weeks-found out it was abit more they were dealing with,then September 24th removal of my left breast. My Hubby just finished the Susan G. Koman race the day before. So...lot's of reminder's this month.......this is my 2nd year.
I'm heading off for Olympia. Wa today for my Friends' memorial service-got my Dr.'s ok. Many of concerned family & friends wish I would stay home, but I'm ok & I've missed so much already & this is something I have to be there for...for me...for Terry & her family.
I'm still coming to Vegas-YIPEE!! Like Jazzy had mentioned though, haven't heard from DV8Q or pinkylee...both are suppose to be our roomies. Hope everything is alright.
Take care Chow XOXO Susie
-
Kjbell-how are you doing? Sorry to read about your accident. are you feeling any better? Did Dr. give the go ahead to travel? Not like you don't have enough to deal with already huh!!
-
Hey Susie, remember PinkyLee isn't our roomy anymore and my friend Clare will be joining us.
:-) She's on our flight as well!! YIPEEEE!!!!
-
Hi everyone. Well its been 5 days since my exchange and I actually rolled over on to my stomach while I was napping today and it didn't hurt lol. They are definitely smaller than I wanted but they look nice so I will adjust to the size because honestly I didn't have big ones in the beginning either.
As far as clothes Im going to bring casual fun clothes and probably something dressy too. I like to dress up for the shows lol. I dont get to do that at home much.
19 more days! Im so excited.
Teresa
