    Man Lilah..... you can be such a pain in the booty....... geeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzz.... work with us would ya......

    BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Kidding .... just my warped humor coming out... ( as I am FEELING SO SO SO SO much better these past two weeks due to my Bio-Identical Hormones...YAY ME !...lol....

    Anyway.... Ladies... you are the kindest group of woman I have even known... to put out there... that I have to be in Vegas...:)... and the text messages I have gotten.. I feel beyond honored... because I have had this HONOR to know you. Thank you.

    I seem to be the entire issue actually the entire problem...EEEKKK.. sorry.... The only weekend I cannot go is Spet 23-26... I will be there any other weekend no matter when.

    TERRI and anyone one else needed to save money for the trip.. START NOW ! YOU HAVE TO COME....... hey... here is an idea... since we are all BURIED IN SNOW.... go out and shovel drives for money... I mean... you can pull in 1200 bucks in two months.. just doing a driveway a day... and THINK HOW MUCH EXERCISES you are getting !!! GO GETTEM GIRLS!

    Hey..... for Tracey... our Hotel and Date leader ( I do not want her job)... What do you think about this... and ALL GIRLS too...

    IN my family... HUGE family... we have a reunion for about 125 of us..... we have done this for 40 yrs. The REASON all of us make it each time is one simple reason:

    It is the same date.. EVERY YEAR.

    It is ALWAYS the Third week of June. NO MATTER what. Date never changes. We all know this.. and we all plan for this... and we all save our money for this....

    Tracey.. and all ladies... this REALLY works for us.... and there are 125 of us...UGGGGG...

    So... maybe... to save Tracey from people like me....... ( LOL) we would make the choice this year... say.... THE LAST WEEKEND IN SEPT. .... and this will be the " Traditional Date" for the TATA Sisterhood. in Las Vegas. EVERYONE will know this... and poor Tracey will NEVER have to pick a date again... or any of us for that matter.

    WHO LIKES THIS IDEA?  Tracey... how do YOU feel about this... a PERMANENT Date....

    Last week of Sept.?? Or whatever you pick. This date also works for our Canadian sisters... and moms who need to get those kids in school in early Sept.... etc...

    OK.... I have put my 02. and I love you all..

    AND........ Words escape me ( amazing) for all the kind words you have sent me... about me needing to be there.... You actually made me cry ladies... You humble me beyond  what I know.

    Sounds good to me Laura... if it's the last weekend Sept/first weekend Oct... as it was last year (i.e. the Sept 30 - Oct 3 weekend)?  As that seems to work best for most of us.

    Tracey -- Mwah!

    Hi Ladies just wanted to share some positive news.  As some of you know we got 12 - 24 inches of snow here last night so I wasn't going anywhere today.  For the 1st time in history of where I have worked over 20+ years they called work off.  Actually got a automated call at 5:10 am telling me work was canceled and not to come in.  They have never shared this system was even available.  So for the good news I have an awesome landlord that dug me out and went over and above and even did my steps which isn't part of the deal.  So to thank him I took food over and had a really nice chat shared my connections with you ladies and this was the 1st he knew I was a cancer survivor and he also shared he is one.  We had a really great chat.  Than about 6:00 tonight my sister gave me a call to see what I was up too and invited me for supper and even fresh apple crisp and ice cream.  Ok and now for the whooo hooooo news: YESTERDAY WAS MY MOM'S LAST CHEMO TREATMENT WHOOO HOOO ( she had colon cancer for the gals that might not know).  As some of you might have been aware at the end of our Vegas trip my mom was put in the hospital due to side effects.  But I am happy to say that was the only time during these last 6 month that she had gotten more than just tired.  Whoooo Hoooo I'm so happy to be alive and well 

    Sandy/Sunshine : )

WE ALL KNOW how much we love eachother... and Drama comes with LOVE! So.... we have set a DATE FOR LIFE !
    YAY TRACEY and ALL THE TATA"S.... now we can get busy seeing who is coming again for sure.... YAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sandy.... I am so happy for your mom....... Lordy... bless her..... and I am feeling a little better... belly has calmed down... (hug)

    Hi to all you lovely ladies,

    I have been away for far too long.  Work and life has just been crazy busy and has kept me away from you all.  I will be attending this year and am glad the date has been set.

    I will check in soon.  Take care.

    Hugs to all,

    Cheryl

    The date works for me!  I love it that we are going to be in Vegas for the first couple of days of October and Laura (Estepp) - great idea to just plan the last weekend in September each year.

    Karen in AZ: they usually have "craps classes" at the casinos on a schedule (usually during morning hours when things are quiet).  Once we know where we are staying I'll check for ya and figure out how you can get a class.

    Tracey -- yay for no more drama and a solid date!

    Sandy -- Wahoooooooooooooooo that is great news about your mom!  I well remember how good it felt to be done (mentally)... physically it took a good 2 months to start feeling normal again (just so you know)... but at least it was a steady rise!

    I know last year several of you ladies extended your trip either before or after our weekend.  I went on Vegas .com and noticed the prices were a lot cheaper to continue to stay after our gathering verses having your hubby's come early and spend some time with you.  This is what I found for the Flamingo: well Friday and Saturday would be $145 a night.  Sunday through Thur would only be $55.  If you choose to stay Monday - thur before our trip it would be $145 every night so $55 is looking way better : )

    I'm thinking of attending the reunion.  I've found the women on this site to be so helpful and supportive - I'd love to meet some of you in person!  Just out of curiosity, how many sisters attended last year?

    I think we had like 50 last year!

    Karen -- ugh re: the heart damage and that 10 - 15 year number (in fact, double ugh for that)... as a fellow red devil recipient, I am not thrilled to hear that stat.  I hope the damage is reversible!

    I am all for no drama.  The only thing I wanted to add is that Tracey has taken this on for 3 years with help from a handful of people.  The first year, she chose a date....of course there were unhappy people that couldn't make it.  The second year she let everyone choose....of course there were unhappy people that couldn't make it.  The girl can't win!  I for one just want to say thank you for all of those who have done any of the planning for any of the trips.  I consider it a privilege to be able to go and always will.  Whether the date works for me each year or not, I am still grateful for those who are doing the planning. 

    I love you all and wish every single one of us could be there every year, but its just not realistic that it is going to work out every year for this many people.  I'm honored to be a part of it no matter what.

    Thank you Tracey for putting up with all of it.  This reunion would not be happening if it wasn't for your initiative....

    The date is GREAT! Can't wait! I too am for no drama! Has'nt BC brought enough drama into our lives? I know it did with me! It is no picnic trying to organize and ever growing event! So PINK HATS OFF TO TRACEY!! I think having it on the same weekend too is a great idea, that way moving forward everyone will know it's coming and can plan ahead!! 

    LG300, it is a great group, so much support, love and FUN! We would love to have you join us!!

    Ok, so who is in charge of the countdown??? LOLMoney mouth
