    Valjean, another happy belated here :) And I too loved the story...how nice to have a few of those memories our parents told us - that we can actually still remember!!! I came too late for Eli's cake offering, but since it's Friday night, which for me is always worth celebrating, I made one too. Val gets the first slice, but everyone can have some after that!

    Finally got my breast MRI results from Monday and it was all clear just some surgical changes since November surgery but that is to be expected.

    OMG, marlegal!!!! What a cake! Hilarious! I wrote that down as I am SURE I won't remember that. Too funny! (and it's my secret if that hasn't already happened to me!) Sealed

    And Barbe, I just about spit water all over my keyboard when I read your comment about my Mom popping out babies!! I was always surprised she only had two. (but while we were stationed on Guam when I was 3-5 yrs, my Dad, on a trip over to Japan, had the "you-know-what" done!!) Yeah, my brother & I were born in the same year: me, January 19 & him Dec 18. I remember a teacher once telling me that we were twins because we were only born weeks apart. DUH! How about 11 months apart!!! And she thought she knew everything, ha-ha, I had one on her!! Tongue out  On the serious side, neither my brother nor I have ever been close to my Father & you may have a point there when you say how can a Father ever bond with his children when he is gone when they are so young. At least for us, we never did. And with him being a very strict Navy man, well, let's just say we towed the line & let it go at that. Sealed 

    Thank you, dear sisters, for the wonderful birthday wishes. I had plans to go to lunch & shopping with a dear friend on my "day", but the MI winter weather did not cooperate so we postponed it & talked on the phone for well over an hour instead. I love, love, love Lemon bars so made myself some with a cheesecake bottom - well, I tried, to make myself some. They came out like crap!! I thought I was going to get the whole 8" x 8" pan of them all to myself as DH does not like lemon, but....... somehow, I messed it up. Cry But, then I came here & what did I see?? A fabulous cake from E!! (hey, that rhymes~!) Thank you sooooo much - it was absolutely yummy & I didn't gain a single pound!!!  Tongue out

    And, just because I'm in the "ISH" now, I will still be here with all you middies - ain't nobody  puttin' Baby in the corner !!!!!!!

    Love you guys!

    And, on a serious note ~ Welcome to the new sisters! This is a wonderful group of sisters, we are here for you for any reason, day or night.

    Valjean....so glad you enjoyed the love shown here, as well as the laughs.  I understand about the no dad thing.  Mine is alive but we rarely speak either.  There are reasons....

    Sherry, you deserved a break and I am so so happy you got it with a clear MRI.  It is about time you got some good news for a change.  I hope you feel better every day.

    Marlegal...what can I say?  That is a perfect cake.  Loved it! Laughing

    My Dad travelled a lot on business until we finally moved to where he was travelling to (Vancouver to Toronto). He tried to get us to call him `sir` and at the dinner table it was: `Children are to be seen and not heard.``  Then he was surprised that we didn`t `like`` him when we got older! Doi!!!

    Went to acupunture today and then got my oil changed and tires rotated and found a bathing suit.  Yes they are already out in the stores in Texas.  You have to buy them early or they are all picked over.  Since I have lost so much weight I decided to try a bikini again. DH will be suprised. Have not let my belly show in 10 years.

    whose turn for mystery pic?  we had a snow day here :)  first snowfall of this year (had snow on halloween weekend, but that doesn't count!) only a couple inches, but then it was icy rain for a long time, so neither of us went anywhere. I finally got Christmas decorations totally put away ... except my tree that I keep up with just the lights on for a little longer. what can I say? I get a kick out of it :)  so in between hub shovelling and my organizing, we'd eat/drink, then get back to work, then eat/drink some more...you get the picture!

    hope you all had a day where you did what you wanted, or at least liked what you did.

    OK, looks like something metal, but beyond that I am stumped!

    I am probably wrong again, but it looks like the corner of the refrigerator door.



    Have a great Sunday everyone!

    O.K. looks a little like a mask for (huge icon) the Bonzo Dog, or maybe Mickey Mouse.

    I am 47 years old and I was dx with breast cancer March 23, 2010 and had surgery to remove the lump and accillary node and radiation. Wednesday I had a rash start on the same breast and my breast was sore, warm and red. I went to my oncologist and he gave me rx for steroids and anitbilotic because I also have pleurisy. He stated if it goes away but after the meds comes back I need to be tested for IBC. I didn't know what that was until I got him and we researched it I would love to hear from other women who have dealt with IBC.
