I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Beautiful weather in Bogota today!  My sister and I already went for a walk around the neighbood (all uphill, believe it or not) and we're going to the Usequen (sp?) market later today.  Yesterday was a busy day visiting Monserrate (sp? again), La Candelaria (sp? again), Museo Botero and Museo del Oro.  Gorgeous place, friendly people, and great food - it doesn't get any better!

Matt and Jenn

Rosemary - so, so beautiful.  I wish them ( and you!) years and years of happiness AND good health.

Susie - PURPLE flowers????  on a tree?  Enought to make me want to move - really a gorgeous picture.  Hoping for NO NODES ( was gonna say no nodes is good nodes...but)  and finally you're being able to talk with DH about it all.  SO HARD to keep it ( AND THE ANXIETY) all squooshed inside.

Skinny Barbara ( 125...I still wonder when I last saw that on scale, maybe college?) hope you are getting more and MORE excited about yur cruise.  Where will you be going?

Enjoyful ( fool)  Happy Bogata.  Can't wait to see pictures.  Love that I'm "talking" to someone in Bogata.  I'm old enough to get such a good giggle about all this technology.

Just WISH WISH WISH that darn CLICKMECLICKMECLICKME woud STOOOOPPPPSTOPPPP speaking of "technology"-  isn't NO THANKS an acceptable answer?  

E - great tour!



Rosemary - congrats to all.



Susie - what the others said!

What incredibly beautiful pictures!



Been in the dumps and can't seem to pull out. Last time I decorated for holidays was pre BC, my DH got all the Halloween boxes out and insists we decorate for the holidays this year. So out in the front yard trying to figure out where to put the witches and bones and other silly stuff while he tries to get the lights to work.



Family dinner yesterday. Roasted poblano chilis and made a great casserole, wish I could remember what I put in it now. Sad news that BIL has been given 3-6 weeks (damn those oncs who think they are pysic.). His ins will not let him go to MDA. So angry with his (now fired, but may be to late) onc. Got him in with mine and he started chemo yesterday. (His onc was "watching" as the tumors grew...).



Blue - are you adjusted good now?

Skinny Barb - my scale hasn't seen that number since high school! Oh, cruises are the best.

Glad to be able to "travel" via all the pictures, gotta love the technology.



Calgon take me away...

Rosemary, lovely!

The cruise goes from Barbados to Bequia, to Dominica, St Kitts, St Martin, St Barts, Turks & Caicos then Ft Lauderdale. Can't wait! One more week!

Kira - it's spring here, so that's why the jacarandas are flowering. There's purple all over Brisbane. Our university students know that when they flower, exam time is coming up. In my pic there are actually 2 - one is next door to us and is pushing up our fence - DH keeps wanting me to complain to them.

Rosemary - love the pic - they look very happy - congratulations.

Told DH about the bs wanting the thyroid biopsy - told him I didn't say anything because I didn't want to do it and had been thinking about it - got him to agree I should do it - but didn't tell him I'd already made the appt He wasn't too p'd off - so that's something. Now I just have to hope there's nothing wrong with the axilla US.

I was thinking this afternoon - I saw the bs and onc only 4 days after the MRI - the swollen node might be a reaction to the stuff they inject into you.

Sue

susie, We're all "in your pocket" - hoping that all is well.  The STRESS, STRESS of waiting, and all these tests - uses up more energy than I think we can imagine.  Looking forward to hearing HOW GOOD you feel after all the tests.

Glad DH is being more supportive than you expected

Hi kids,

I'm Back!!!!!!

L, please let me know when you'll next be in the Windy City. I will come to meet you.

Back to work.

Susie-it's probably a good thing you told your husband about the goiter biopsy. A friend of mine had one, and her neck turned black and blue, even though she said the biopsy wasn't painful. Now how would you explain that to your husband??

Mary 

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!  Kind of just a workday, so all the internet greetings were extra-special!  Still have cake and wine coming up!

Welcome back, Cherryl!

Susie -- fingers crossed for boring results of all your tests!

Scuttlers -- I'm so sorry about your BIL -- that is really sad.  Hoping something miraculous might still come his way.

Waving hi to everyone! xoxo

Happy Birthday Anne!!!  Welcome back Supremo Bartender Cherryl! 

Having a wonderful time in Bogota.  It's a beautiful area, and friendly people, toilet-paper sellers, and rolling wood chunks abound!   (More on that later!) Sunshiney mornings, afternoon thunderstorms, and overall cool weather make it an ideal place for a Fool like me.  ;-)

I hear the dental care is excellent here, and a fraction of a US dentist's cost.  Maybe I'll get my root canal done down here.

Happy happy Tuesday to all!

EFool

Wondering what to make for dinner tonight?

When the little one burns, the big one is done.
