    I just went back and read the article in the North County Times about Jodi - I'm in to help, too!

    Sylvia - glad to hear the good news on your tests.  Also, I don't knit, but I do crochet.  Michaels sometimes offers craft classes and I'm sure knitting is one of them.

    Did anyone get out and enjoy this beautiful weather?  I took Friday off - played some tennis with my 11 year old.  Today I did some yard work.  It was like a summer day - loved it!  My radiologist said to watch the sun, so I'm lubed up with SPF 50 and SPF 70.  I don't think any harmful rays can get through this stuff Laughing

    Have a Happy Easter.

    I was hoping Jodi could join us this month for our luncheon. I could give her a ride and we could split her lunch between us. What do you say Jodi? Want to join us for some fun and friendship next Saturday?

    Happy Easter everyone. I have a cold and dh and the boys went camping in the desert. I rarely left my bed yesterday. I suppose I should get up today though.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone next week-end. Are we still at 6? If I go back a page I will lose my post.

    Splitting Jodi's lunch is no problem at all - after all, we'd all get to play with Zoe!



    see you guys next week - at what time????



    TX3 on Friday - suffering from chemo brain big time.

    Hi ladies. Yes it's really 4 a.m and I have been up for a few hours. Sometimes chemo gets weird on me with sleeping.

    I am literally sitting here crying. It has been really 'different' lately. We have had such an outpouring of love and support. It is so weird to be in this position. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve everything being provided to us. It's just pride, I think.

    We feel so blessed to have not only our family and friends supporting us, but the whole community of San Diego. The article in the paper was just the beginning, and unfortunately had a lot of mistakes. The Fox 6 was much better and told the 'real' story. Yes, my dh was laid off right after Christmas, but never tried to find work again because of all my health issues and the baby coming and being in the NICU.

    It has been difficult financially, but also emotionally. We are dealing with so much in such a short amount of time. I was only dx in Oct. 07. It's just been a horrible 'ride'. So much emotion that I've never had to deal with, ever in my life. It's so hard to look at my daughter and think that maybe she will have to grow up without me. How do I deal with that? It's so difficult, and she is so beautiful and innocent. How much time to I have with her? Every day is a blessing and a gift.

    Having all this support really makes it easier to bear. I won't be going back to work. I want to do things with my family and friends. I want to make memories with my baby and husband. Someone gave me a hard time the other day for wanting to take the baby to Disneyland, saying, "she is too young to remember that." I said, "We are making memories for ME right now, not her." What 35 year old should have to say that? I went to Kentucky to visit family and just got back a week ago. That is somewhere I never would have gone before all this. Family was nice enough to get the plane ticket for me. Everyone has been so nice. The word THANKS barely begins to scratch the surface for how we feel. Every moment of every day is a gift.

    Sorry to vent so much. I  think I needed to do that. I'm really looking forward to meeting you all. I think I need to meet you. It will be good for me. So... Yes, I will be coming to lunch... with Zoe. Can I follow you down?

    Much love, Jodi

    (((((Jodi))))) We are here for you dear sister. Please come and feel our love. You can either follow me or I will pick you up. Sylvia and I will be riding together. PM me your phone number and we can figure it out.

    Melia-Are you coming? We miss you so much.

    So far:

    SoCal, Me, Sylvia, Susan, Lisa #3, LisaSD, Jodi, Zoe, Starfish. I think that is correct. I will call about reservations today.

    I am soooo excited--I cannot stand myself!!! It will be wonderful to meet you and Zoe and I hope you can put up with all of us mother/grandmother types!!!!

    Sounds as if you have had way more thrown at you than anyone ever should have or could possibly deal with---and you are still here!!

    By the way...a dear friend of mine sent me this awhile ago and if I can attach this link --I think it might speak to all of us---I found it extremely inspirational.. (you will have to copy and paste into a new browser--I couldn't get it to auto link for you)

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8577255250907450469&pr=goog-sl  Anyway--it is hard to believe that it is the end of March already---Brenda--p/m up at 10:30 or so?

    Jodi -



    anybody who gives you a hard time about anything - Disneyland or whatever - is not to be worried about. I'd say I'd beat them up for you, but I'm so tired, I'd probably fall down if I tried to punch anyone.



    Looking forward to meeting you and Zoe on Saturday.

    Hey Ladies

    Just checking in. I am fine, just exhausted. Would it be a major problem if I brought my daughter on Sunday? Can't find a sitter.

    Lisa, since I think I may be the only one who has had the privilege of spending several hours with your delightful daughter, I believe I can confidently say it would be NO problem whatsoever if Gabriella were to join us. Glad you are recovering slowly but surely.

    SoCal - Indian Wells Convention and Visitors Bureau is going to make you a fat offer to join their staff once they see that collage!

    Filippis

    1747 India Street
    San Diego, California 92101
    Phone: (619) 232 - 5094

    11:30 Saturday March 29. Be there. Little girls are welcome but I will be leaving the little boys home.

    Filippis does not take reservations on Saturday's. They assured me if someone gets there at 11:30 and says we need a table for 10 or so they will have no problem accomadating us.

    Jodi-I left you a message on your cell phone the other day. If you are going to follow Sylvia and I we need to know where to meet you.

    Sylvia-10:30 sounds good. I know what street you live on but what was the house number again. I have your number. Do you still have mine?

    So whoever gets there first reserve the table.

    LisaSDCA-Lunch is at 11:00 (LOL) Just kidding.

    I sure am looking forward to seeing you all again. Hopefully my antibiotics will have me as good as new by then.

    Starfish-Where is that chocolate place? Hopefully close by.

    Hey all-

    Brenda it is 2048 and I do not have your phone number---but if you want to do anything different---just call me--otherwise I'll expect to see you at 10:30 am!!

    Sorry we won't see you Melia--I think we only met once ---maybe next time--

    Jodi---we could meet you at the Starbucks on Palomar Airport Rd if you are coming from San Marcos- that would be convenient for you and us--just East of El Camino Real..? (At Loker ave)  Ok?

    I am currently coughing up a lung.

    Thanks to my take-no-prisioners immune system, I have not had a cough in 10+ years, so this is a unique experience. I've been coughing so hard the last 5 days that I've started to have to hold onto my foobs  Surprised - those last 14" of stitches are less than 6 weeks old! Of course, after 3 days, becoming short of breath, it had to be lung mets. But I guess it's just a creeping crud. Which I don't want to share with sisters in chemo or sweet baby girls or sweet half-grown girls. If I wake up tomorrow feeling super, I'll be there, if not, I'll be home sulking. And trying not to break a rib.

    Lots of pictures, please!

    Hi everyone,

    Looks like I'm going to miss the get together this month.  My son is in a school play and the only day/time we can get tickets for is Sat at 1pm.  I'll miss you all, but have fun and enjoy the little ones Laughing.

    On a good note - I finished radiation yesterday - YEAH me!!  I was officially back to work today - bummer!! 

    And, my eldest son got accepted to all the colleges he applied for - YEAH again.  He's narrowed it down to UC Santa Cruz and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.  We're very proud parents. 

    Have fun tomorrow and I'll look forward to seeing everyone next month.

    Thanks for the wonderful time friends. It was great to visit with everyone. The food was so good.

    Starfish-That chocolate place was great. Try the hazelnut next time it was so good.

    LisaSDCA-I hope you are feeling better today.

    Missed everyone who was not there. Who is taking charge for next month. Jodi mentioned a friends new place in Del Mar. Maybe you can send us their web page link or something Jodi.

    What a great looking bunch of chicks! How was the pizza? I sure could have used a medicinal chocolate dose, myself. Thanks for the hazelnut recommendation, BMD - it's pretty close by once I get better.

    And wait - Lisa/Starfish - Can that possibly be your own hair already?!? Whatever it is, it looks FAB. I can't imagine that your own would have grown enough to be in a 'style' already - if so, tell me who you see or what supplements you are taking!

    Love you all

    Hi everyone... what a great time I had yesterday! It was great to get out and meet you all. Thanks again for lunch.

    I would love to coordinate for next month. Let me check with my friends. I'm not sure if they have a website??? I do know that it's called Crepes and Corks... he makes the most amazing crepes. Both 'dinner' and dessert. They have a really nice patio out front (in the shade) that would be nice if the weather is good. I'll look into it and let you know.

    Don't fret, I pop on and look more than it seems. Sometimes I'm just a lurker Embarassed. So, I will check in soon and let you all know about the place in Del Mar.

    Love ya... Jodi & Zoe

    Oh and for those of you that are interested here is Zoe's website.

    Jodi-If it is to much for you to plan a month just let us know. One of us can step up and do it. With a new baby I did not have time to do anything but be mommy and sleep when that baby slept.

    Starfish-The guy at Chi Chocolat was right. I have not shared one bite of that chocolate bar with anyone. I try to only have one bite a day. It is so delicious. I must go there and try that Chi Chai.

    Susan-Thanks for all the pictures. They were great.

    I know I can't make it on April 19th if that turns out to be the next date. Our karate studio is putting on a Nationals tournament that day. I am sure nash is going to be there to. Right nash?
