What are you doing for fun??

I give up! Was trying to post some Florida pics.

Finally had some fun, so I can join back in. March was a horrid month for me. Actually the first 8 days were wonderful. Had a business trip to Portland OR and had a wonderful time hanging out with many of my favorite professional colleagues. But after I returned, it just sucked. My father died, and then I had my thyroid removed and spent a night in the hospital. Not a month of fun at all!

But, on Friday a friend was coming to Dana Farber for a followup appointment with her oncologist. Friday night I cooked up some lamb chops, made zucchini pancakes and baked corn I had stashed in the freezer last September. And then we sat in the living room and chatted until all hours of the night. Saturday we finally mobilized and went to see the ocean. We walked along the sand, searching for shells and other ocean debris as we walked. Last night we went out to a fish restaurant for dinner. It was great! They have updated the menu and found some new spices and herbs to create more interesting food. Another night of chatting, though we both crashed much earlier. This morning, was sad to see her drive off..... but what a wonderful weekend!

Glad you had so much fun. This is my first time posting anything. Just started Faslodex 2 days ago. Does it get any better? Makes me feel like crap, kinda has floored me. I still insist on having some fun though. Husband and I went on a date last night. Dinner and a show.

Sorry about your father, Susan.



Glad things are getting better for you.



Forgot to mention while in Florida I bought some maple sugar candies for me and my son who is more hooked on them than I am. Less expensive there too.



I have more energy today than I have had in the past four months due to skipping a treatment and due to the steroids I took this morning in preparation for tomorrow's infusion. Did lots of cleaning and organizing and thinking about going to Balkan folk dancing tonight to take advantage of the rest of the energy.

Today was gs Jordans birthday. Dd had to work but I had him for the afternoon. Of course the present that I was the most excited about was a v-tech computer for toddlers. He looked at it for a total of about a minute and then played with his spiderman piggy bank and a plane I got him at the dollar store for the rest of the afternoon. Then he tried to con me into letting him "hold" his cupcakes on the way home. Yeah, right. But as usual, he was a sweetie and I think he had a good time. They grow so fast!

finally enjoying the warm weather. Its going to be in the 80s the rest of the week. Yay! The only problems now are the green on our cars and the turkey poop fertilizer, not to mention getting stuck behind farmers tractors 5 times a day.

Thanks, Lana! Just can't bring myself to do the wig thing this time around. Hard to believe I wore one for two years...even on a hot beach!

Very nice, KeepingFaith.

Faith,   I hope it was like the beach scene in the

thornbirds. They eat fruit and drink wine and mess about in the ocean.   Its so romantic

 You deserve that picture    I'm hoping it was something like that.

My best friend from ever ago, invited me up to her rental in Palm springs,,,,,don't be jealous midwesterners.  It was in the 90s and we spent the day in the pool.  We had a cookout too.  Just wonderful  time

The Beach...you ladies enjoy it. And you will enjoy it more knowing that us "midwesterners" are sitting smack in the middle of an ice storm here in Wisconsin. Winter won't ease up on us this year. It's TOO much. My poor little tulips next to our house came up only to be toppled in snow and ice. We have yet to see 50 degrees. You guys enjoy that beach! I am jealous. Soak up the sun for me I am living vicariously through all of you!

Hi Soleil, that is exactly how it looked. Still feeling the bubble of joy and rejuvenation.

Enjoy your trip to Palm Springs and especially the company of a wonderful old friend.



Thanks ladies - if I knew how to attach a pic I would show you my smile that went from one ear to the other.



If you want to see the FB pics, pm me and I'll send you my details.

That's funny...about your mom not letting anyone else at the game! Have fun! 3yr old boys are so much fun! My little best friend wanted to sleep with me the other night and I assured him that his father would be home to sleep with him soon so he said, "But I wanna sleep with someone with no hair and a bald head!"

Container Gardening Success:

Back in the fall, someone on this thread--was it you, "Susan?--gave me some great advice. I was experimenting with planting spring flowering bulbs in containers and expressed concern about marauding animals digging up/eating them. At your suggestion I covered the containers with chicken wire. I monitored the pots all winter in a corner of the driveway, then several weeks ago moved them to a fenced area of the yard and removed the chicken wire.

As a result we now have two big potsful of gorgeous, blooming orange and yellow tulips with fantastic dusty green and purple varigated leaves. Thank you!

Had gs birthday party today. Had a great time, I think the adults had more fun with the games than the kids. The only damper on it was that somebody stole gs new light-up spiderman shoes while we were there. He pitched a fit poor baby. Dh and I had to go get him another pair. dd was so upset, we're from the country and forget what people can be like. Shes a single mom and works so hard for her money. but other than that it was a good day.

Yep, this was a kids pizza and game place. Full of little kids and their parents.
