Wahoooo!  I'm a yes!  Have been waiting to hear how much $$$ to send Laura the bookie!!!!

Laura, just wondering if you will ever have a Vegas reunion with counting the spouses or partners in. Most of them have been through as much hell as we have emotionally. I think they deserve time away and the guys could get together while the girls hang out....I know, no guys, lol. My breast cancer run is that weekend so I am not sure which to do yet.

Jill I understand what you're saying...the hubby's have gone through a lot, but we are the TaTa Sisterhood.  This trip was designed for all of us to come together to meet, celebrate our lives, share our fears, excitement, and all of the nasty smutt that goes along with it all.  When women are together they are free to share whatever is on their mind (not to mention show off their tatas to eachother).  When there are men present we tend to not do or share things like we normally would...it's just a time where we can FINALLY let our hair down, not be inhibited, and most of all not be judged.  It's kind of hard for women to bond to the fullest if there are men around.

I know our men have definitely stood by us and have been through so much supporting us which is so wonderful.  What would we have done without them>??  They definitely need to be recognised, but this trip is not about them.  If there are sisters, mothers, or other female friends that is totally different.  This trip totally empowers women, it shows them that they too can overcome this desease!.. It also shows that the bond between us is so strong and it is very inspirational to them!

I really hope I'm not sounding nasty or ungrateful and maybe I'm not saying things in the correct way....so maybe somebody else can help me out here??  MY intent is not to offend anyone so please if I have struck a chord I'm sorry.  LOL  I HATE hurting feelings and stirring the pot.  Our trip last year made such an impact on ALL of us!  That's why we are doing it again...and plan on doing it annually.  Maybe some day we will plan a trip that will include the hubby's.  I know we all want to show off our wonderful supporters and let them share in our celebration!

I totally understand meshing vacations together!  It sure saves on the pocketbook!  Mona has the right idea with spending tata time and then spending hubby time.  :-)  The best of both worlds right?

OK I'll step down and get going on my stinkin taxes....urgh!!!!

HUGS!! Jazzy

WELL SAID JAZZY.....

Well, I hate to be the fly in the ointment . . . but our place is booked.  DH and I are going for the week.  He is very happy to spend the ta ta weekend golfing with our friends and hanging out on his own.  Neither of us  feel the need to be joined at the hip, just because he's in the same town.  Since we are staying at a different hotels, I don't see the problem.  I will be with the girls for the weekend and with him for the rest of the week. 

If that's a problem, I'll bow out now.  Just let me know. 

MONA...... YOU HAVE TO COME! WE'RE GOING TO HAVE  A BLAST!!! We just don't want to be showing off our Ta-ta's in front of your hubby....lol .......Girl time bonding is so great, I'm really looking forward to a little weekend away from the hubby, just the girls, the laughs, the bonding, the piano bar...lol

See ya in Vegas !

Terri

I am just catching up with a few weeks of posts.  Hello to all!

Cheri -- I am glad you are coming, but our room is full at the moment.  Cute picture!

Roomies --Tracey, Jancie, MaryBeth -- who's booking our room?

Well, we have not heard the final from Tracey.. Steph and Gilsella... But it sound unanimous... NO HUBBIES..:)... they are More than welcome to be in Vegas...HEHE... just not with the Ta Ta's on Fri-Sun. Good way to put it Lilah!  This way all ladies can come.. those who need their hubbys/partners can have the best of both worlds... as Lilah put it...:)... Monday and beyond is for the hubbies...:)

Jazzy - well said. I don't think I could have expressed those feelings in such a thoughtful manner. This is about US.



FYI - I thought of inviting my cousin as she was diagnosed 10 years ago but you can't get her to shut up! She is a non-stop talker - which doesn't bother most people but I can only take so much. In fact I don't call her unless I have at least 1.5 hours to spend on the phone. Love her to pieces and she is a ton of fun and will no problem showing off her tatas. I am still riding the fence as to whether or not to invite her.



Robin - can you make the reservations? I can send you a check in advance for my portion if you like. I don't have my plane reservations but it is way early to be doing that and I typically don't book my flights until I am closer to 30 days from departure. Remember last year it took me an extra week to book my flight after I got your information? It is just one of those tasks that I really don't like to do - book flights on the internet - such a PITA at times. I am still getting prescriptions for ambien and valium so I don't want to even hear that I sound like a Greyhound Bus!! What is not fair is that I am rooming with 2 skinny, in shape women and I am still overweight like last year. I sit on my butt and watch The Biggest Loser but do I do a darn thing? Nope!!

Lilah, KEW, and Julie (aka fellow roomies) - have any of you booked our room?  If not, I'll be glad to do it on my credit card.....just let me know....then I need to start looking at flights.  Anybody else out there going from the Dallas area?

and I agree.....no guys....girls rock......especially Ta Ta Girls!

Susie:   I reserved a room last week and they only required one night in advance on my credit card. Hope you aren't too sore after that fall. Can't wait to meet everyone!!

TCK

Val -- go for it!  I was going to do it but was waiting til this summer... but if you would rather do it now I think that's great.  As Laura said it's just paying for one night anyway... Karen will only be staying the first two nights (Friday and Saturday)... I think she said she would have to leave on Sunday (but confirm with her).  Julie?

Will we be ordering some T's from another source? Did we find out if the company that makes them owns the logo? Just wondering since there seems to be a few ladies who do not have shirts.

Thinking of {{{Judy}}}!!!
