I can't get my act together and I don't know why

Bren.

I had a double mastectomy and lost just exactly 5 lbs, in the 3 days I was in hospital...and it wasn't the hospital food making me lose, because it was just superb. Nope...it was all prime cut lean boobs !!

Isabella.

Oh lord, I came on to confess my sock drawer is still as bad as ever, feeling a bit down.  Heck - I spent the morning with the financial planner explaining/excusing things:  "It seemed like a good idea at the time"  "Oh yeah, we forgot about that one"  "Well, you know it's ah - funds and stuff" "Ah, no we haven't done anything about that yet".

However Deb's title of "10 women 6 boobs" cheered me up enormously - maybe enough to do my socks tomorrow.  Seriously that could be one knock their socks off comedy routine.  And I will have enough extra socks to supply them.

Isabella, if you lost 5 lbs by losing two boobs, I wonder how much I lost losing one?  Might be how big they are, right?

Miss S, the problem with me not wearing my boob is...I've got that other real boob, and I would really look lopsided if I didn't wear the fake one.  I know what I can do.  I can put the boob in my mast bra, but not the pocket.  I always take my shoes off before getting on the scale..don't wanna fall .  I could take out my boob when I take off my shoes.  Then, when I go into the examining room I can put my boob back in my bra.  Won't have time to put it in the pocket cuz the doc is pretty much on time.  I could go into the bathroom after I see him and stick it in the pocket cuz if I go somewhere else I don't want to lose it and freak everyone out.  Oh, I don't have to change into a gown when I see my primary.

I haven't done my drawer either.  I didn't feel real good today.  Is that a good enough excuse.  Now I need to get off here and use the curling iron on my hair and then start cooking.

Bye for now.

Shirley

Shirley,

You are TOO funny!!  Your comments about your boob and where to put it, it's just hilarious!  Now I am remembering before my reconstruction surgery, I wore those 'foam' boobs, and one time I went to my onc's office, and had chemo, I guess it was my 2nd tx, I got home, and changed out of my clothes... only I shook out my shirt and looked under the bed, and in the laundry hamper, and...still, I couldn't find that foam boob...  Then, to my chagrin, I was walking outside, and in front of my house, in my DRIVEWAY, what did I find?  My other foam boob!!  I picked it up real quick, and hoped NO ONE in my neighborhood saw it...

No, I haven't cleaned out any of my drawers, either...

I cannot figure out for the dickens what Shirley's daughter had around her neck. We have had a lot of thong talk. Maybe it was a thong. I will have to find out tomorrow. Need a good night's sleep.Please, Please, Please, tell us, Shirley. I can't stand the suspense.

Harley,

Do you mean a man's bachelor part? A thingie? A whackerdoodle? A, um, rhymes with "mildo"? 

Well, I have an idea that you gals are putting subliminal thoughts in my head: I CLEANED OUT MY CLOSET!!!!!!!!

filled a huge bag for Good Samaritans and threw away 20 shoe boxes!

Moved my winter stuff to the other closet and moved in my summer stuff -- just in time for blackberry winter!  It never fails to get really cold or really warm whenever I change clothing.  Funny thing is that i live in t-shirts and gads I sure do have a lot of them.  I have them all on hanges---no space in the drawers, too full of crap.

I sold all my suits and heels the summer I retired--now, I have one good pair of black slacks and a black linen dress for funerals or what ever!   Everything else is jeans and knit pants and a few linen shirts.

 I cannot believe how much room is left with all the sweatshirts in the cedar chest!

Ok, I'll quit showing off and just go look at the closet, may never see that floor again in my lifetime---even took up all the dust bunnies. 

Yeah, I WIN! 

Harley

Hi Ladies,

Shirley is certainly having a LONG LUNCH!!!!  My next question is.........Was it edible? Like candy?...... Sorry, I am in the gutter and I know it..Remember those candy necklaces that you could buy as a kid. They were like hard candies and were like the shape of a doughnut and were all different colours and were strung on an elastic string and you wore them around your neck and ate them. Do you know what I mean?

Maybe I should go over to the MOJO thread!!!!!OMG!!!!!

Kerry

O.K. LMAO!!!!!!! That is all I can say!!!!!!

Shirley, where are you? Was it this kind of necklace?

MOJO thread here I come!!!!LOL,LOL,LOL,

Kerry

PS, I still have not cleaned out my underwear drawer yet!!!!!

 Okay, here's the answer.  Harley, you got it!  You win the necklace, and next time we go to lunch I shall present it to you and you must wear it. 

Yes, it looked like a "mildo."  If I had pics I'd scan'em and PM them to you.  But I don't have pics and I no longer have a scanner.

Hope ya'll get a great nights sleep!  I'm gonna put my pj's on.  Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to read the other thread..moan and groan. 

Shirley

OK.  Now, finally, I can go to bed and get some sleep.

I love this thread. It's better than a shrink!

Thanks for clearing that up Shirley. I can't wait to see where this thread goes next. In just a matter of days we've gone from obsessing over cake, discussing saggy boobs, thong underwear, cleaning out drawers and what was around Shirley's dds neck.

I skipped out on the cleaning conversation. . .knew I wouldn't do it but I'm proud of those who made the effort. Maybe I'll get there sometime. . .I'm just too tired to push myself now. I did a lot of cleaning out last year after my diagnosis, helped to keep my mind on something else. Problem was that I ended up giving a bunch of my good clothes to Goodwill without realizing it until I was looking to wear them. My mind obviously wasn't on the cleaning when I thought it was. . .LOL. Oh well, it was a good excuse to buy some new things.

I did clear a small space on the top of my desk today. . .I needed a place to write. It's a start. . .
