Comments
-
...all snuggled in bed while visions of Jancie dancing at the piano bar.in your head.....
-
Something adorably cute...my mom called to ask if I had enough money........and I wonder where I get it from!
-
Just popping in to say: HAVE A GREAT TIME GIRLS! Win lots of $$$$$$$...!
-
Thanks Laura! Next year you will be with us!
OK need to go to bed since I need to get up in about 4 hours...
-
I'm running late! Leaving for the airport now! See you soon!
-
Went to bed at midnight when my dh came home - have now slept almost 3-1/2 hours. Woke up and can't go back to sleep. I guess I will be running on adrenalin all weekend if I can't get some more sleep.
-
6:00 central time..
Loading my suitcase and headed to Memphis Airport....see you all at 11:15am in VEGAS
Love to you all and safe travel prayers
Linda :-)
-
8:02 mountain time - will be leaving for the airport in 1 hour. Got my pillow and cell phone charger packed - almost forgot the charger!
-
Fumi....you do not know how EXCITED we would all be to meet you! You must come next year!
I got my wireless back....tags are printed out. What a nightmare to not be able to get online....I have nine private messages to answer before I leave at 11 a.m.
Cannot wait to see everyone!
-
I am soooooooooooooooooo envious! Other Laura...hope your bird is in the sky soon! Wish I could have joined you! HAVE HEAPS AND GOBS OF FUN! Rock on Ta Tas, long live the Ta Tas! LOL

Jancie...for husband's snoring get Hearos foam formable ear plugs. Get the BLUE ones. I have bought the pink ones and other brands...trust me...the blue hearos are the best. When my husband is out of town it is such a treat to not have to wear ear plugs, but then I hear other things like the air conditioning coming on and the dog rolling over. I also wear an eye mask if it is not pitch black. I am finally sleeping like a normal person not waking more than 1 or 2 times during the night. The 15 mg of melatonin could be helping with that too.

Hello Ladies,
I'm hoping to meet up with you gals tomorrow for Brunch! I wasn't feeling so well after the PET scan on Thursday, must be the nuclear stuff that they injected in me.
Have lots of fun !!!
{{{HUGS}}}
-
I'm so jealous too...wish I had planned to go....I will try try try to go next year...Fumi please come too!:)
-
We had a wonderful time and it just gets better every year. It is just so amazing to be together in person.....like having beloved storybook characters come to life.
-
So nice to meet all you wonderful ladies!! Wish we could have ordered up better weather for the weekend. Hope you had a great time though.

Deborah

I just got home and need to spend time with the hubby, dogs, and cats!
Had a GREAT TIME!
Thanks to all of the wonderful ladies that worked so hard to put this together.
Robin - send me a pm with your mailing addy so I can mail you a check for the hotel - guess you didn't want to wake me up this morning and I so much appreciate it!
Tomorrow will spend time here.
-
Those of us who could not make the reunion are waiting for photographs!!
-
It was so great to see everyone at the meet & greet. It was also nice to meet some of you in person that I didn't meet last year. Hopefully next year I'll have more energy (was a little tired from chemo on Wednesday). I hope you all had a great weekend! I can't wait to hear how much fun you all had!
Heather
-
Hi Sistas,
It was so nice to meet you gals. I can put a face to the name (or faces to names)
. Like Melanie said, wish the weather was better for you. I can't wait to see the group pic !!!
Love & Hugs,
Paula
-
Deb -- LOL about us being like storybook characters. We are larger than life!!!
Paula, Kittycat, and Melanie -- it was WONDERFUL meeting you local girls!
Heather -- you did not seem too tired at all -- only lovely. You are almost done! It gets easier soon. Totally thrilled that you and Melanie joined us on Friday night. Next year you will feel MUCH better and we'll party and celebrate then.
My favorite moment (of SO many wonderful moments) aside from getting to meet all if you in person: everyone (or most everyone anyway) wearing their Ta Ta t-shirts ("Viva Las TaTa$") and dancing/singing/celebrating on Saturday night at the Piano Bar. It was truly moving.
Laura -- the Ta Ta Sisterhood Reunion was everything you said it would be.

Ugh -- Laura yes I got delayed too -- they said it was due to Thunderstorms in the LV area today. They had the flights spaced out every 20 minutes (instead of one after the other) and so many were forced to sit on the ground. My flight was delayed an hour and a half! If I were a texter I would have sent ya one too
