Finally! Some warm weather!



We finally had some warm weather in Ohio...today it almost hit 60! Jillian and I walked down to the lake to watch the geese play on the ice...hopefully it won't be frozen much longer. We have had a good weekend. Last night was bunco night so the Strawberry Hill Bunco Babes celebrated St. Patrick's Day a little early. I made a visit to my 2nd favorite wig shop (Party City) to pick up a nice green wig for the event...maybe that brought me the luck of the Irish...I had lowest points for the night and finally won a little cold hard cash - YIPPEE! Thanks to Jen for hosting a fun evening...it is always fun to catch up with the girls!

I have been more tired than usual this weekend and achy like I just worked out or something...I am wondering if these are side affects of the Herceptin...it really isn't that bad and nothing compared to the chemo so I can put up with it for 10 more months if I have to. My hot flashes are becoming more regular now...I guess I am definitely in menopause now. Luckily, the hot flashes just happen a couple times in the middle of the night and I am able to fall back to sleep pretty easily...I guess they might get worse when I start taking the tamoxifen after surgery but we will just have to wait and see.

Have a great week!

What a nice day today was. I tried to enjoy it...I had my work phone in my hand as I stood outside watching the kids play!!! Glad that you and Jillian got out and went down to the lake.
That wig!!! What a hoot. It reminds me of that show on Nick Jr., Lazy Town, I think the girls name was Stephanie and her pink hair!!! I can just see you dancing around like her with your green wig on!! LOL Ok...I'm a little slap happy today. I guess I spent to much time in the house this weekend!!
Enjoy the rest of the week. I'll check back in with you later.

Lot of hugs and love coming your way!!!

Your new hairdo actually glows in the picture. What a riot! Glad you and Jillian got out for some fresh air. Our warmth is supposed to be today but we are all back to work so we can't enjoy. Save your winnings to spend this weekend!
Love ya,
Kay

Hi Jan! Sorry I missed chatting with you yesterday - just missing you. Things have been VERY hectic since I got back. I'll send you an email about that. Anyway, I surely missed out on things by being in that Kaizen event last week! I should have gotten on at home, but it's so slow (dial up)I usually never bother! SOOO thrilled the tests came back negative. Had to really laugh at your pumpkin head comment! Laughter is good for the soul. Even when you are laughing at yourself! (I do that quite often!).... anyway, take care, my friend. Hopefully will talk to you soon! Love you! Sue

Pumpkin head? Fer cryin' out loud!! They have a syndrom for everything don't they?

Glad to hear things are going well. I loved the party pictures. What a lucky girl you are!

Take care!

Hi Jan! How's it going today!? Good I hope. We're possibly supposed to get more winter weather tomorrow. Spring break - hurry up and get here!! :) We're going to mom and dad's easter weekend - so looking forward to that too. Kristen and family are heading there tonight - so hoping they miss the weather!?? How's the hair filling in? Does it grow quickly - once it started!?? Probably on the legs - you know how that goes! :) well, I miss you and was thinking about you - so thought I'd give you a shout out! Take care... Give the kiddos and hubby a hug from me! Love you! Sue
