This thread was started before the dawn of time by Amazons who needed to compare their stats with other Amazons. Over time it grew into a community of incredible women who try to keep their spirits in the clouds and their feet on the ground, moving toward health. Most of us start at 5'7 and go up from there, from young singles to wise and lively elders of the tribe. We welcome newcomers who are willing to be kind and share a bit of their lives.

No one could be happier that it's Friday, than I. I usually have travel plans on this weekend, but it's a stay near home version this year. I'm not sure I'm getting out of my p.j.'s tomorrow.
MCat, it's encouraging that the surgery is scheduled and there is no indication of cancer at this time. I know you would miss the fun if DFIL comes and you are up north, but if it comes to that, think how the DFam will be in good, happy hands if you cannot be there. Plenty of diversion for the DKs and DH.
My mind is a bit of a blank, but I'm sending good thoughts to all.

I will just second T's post, with the exception of TGIF. Right now I hate Fridays--which mean the weekend, and nothing moving on my end. Shoot. It doesn't matter if it's a weekday or the weekend, nobody is doing anything on my situation.
I will also stop by if I have any news to share. Frieda.

Aloha, Long and Lovelies!
Rainy start to the day, but should clear up eventually. DS got a surprise yesterday - XH is taking him to DW this weekend. I was practically speechless, but recovered well. I all too well remember the stories and roadblocks I got when we were together, when I would bring up DW. Apparently things are different, now that we are taking DS in December. I'm not even mad - just surprised. I hope they have a good time.
T, you speak wisely. I will have to figure out the right time to discuss w/DH this weekend, as we have had many different scheduling and other issues come up. It's so frustrating when you're not on the same page.....
Frieda, anything fun planned, as a distraction? How are the girls doing?
Okay, time to do more testing. Hugs to all!!!

Wow T- it must have been a rough week. I hope you have a relaxing day tomorrow.
Frieda- when I was dealing with it I was forced into ME time. I had never done that before & didn't know what to do. I spent lots of time listening to music, taking long walks, long baths, etc. In the end it was the best thing I could have done to start to heal myself. I was always doing for others. I have no idea what's going on with you. Just know I'm here for you. I've been there, done that. In my case I had a rigged judge who was later banned by the supreme court. Talk about getting the shaft. For one year I had to be the one paying child support & asking to see my kids. It did make me more compassionate to my ex once things were righted but it was very very rough to get thru at the time. Hang in there & use your local support from family & friends.
I got a lot of compliments about how well the two day meeting went. I love the new facility & the layout.
I have zero plans for the weekend. I'm going to enjoy it.
Take care ladies!

Good morning. Not much new in my world today. I had a cut and color last night that resulted in the shortest hair I've had in a long time. It's a little startling to see, but OK I think. Either tonight or tomorrow morning MM and I are heading to the beach so we can meet with my beach house partner and the realtor and get the old beach house listed. The weather looks promising so I hope it will be a relaxing little quick getaway.
MCat, your XH is often full of those unexpected surprises. Ugh. Tigers don't change their stripes. Hope you can work out the surgery trip successfully and that all goes well.
Freida, I'm hoping each day for progress and relief. I do hope you and the girls can find something fun to do for the weekend.
How long before you head to FL Melinda? Enjoy your weekend.
That's all I have for now. Have a great Friday everyone.

Mcat: Go figure, you can't be the only one willing to splurge, can you? It will be a great opportunity for your DS to check things out. Let you know what is good and what isn't worth your time. I think the trip will be magical with you in Dec. How could it not?
Melinda: You speak wise words. It's just so hard, when sometimes it is all I think about. Or a phone call that is said it will come and doesn't. I'm trying to manage it. My mom suggested doing something with my hands.
Susan: How does it feel to be with MM when you see your beach house partner? I bet you feel good. Hooray for listings!
T: I've been doing a lot of reading. Trying to catch up on magazines and a couple light hearted ones from the library. I started collection on am prime. halfway through the first episode. Not sure yet if I like.
I'll be back tomorrow.

Hi CaTs. Fighting w Humphrey but trying to do jobs anyway. DM and I trying to work along w packing/sorting/ridding, while keeping up house life of laundry, meals, blahblah. You all get it.
Meanwhile my DSis has put an offer on a place and expects to move (in her area) in the next month or two. Wishing DM was there w her. Ha! It could happen soon enough. DM' s spinning head is doing flips with two new residences to come. She says she liked the way it was, splitting time between NY and NC.
Great news about your mom, MCat, may all continue to go well. Frieda, thinking of you. I think your mom has a good thought. Something that takes your attention, something soothing. Paint? Pottery? Doesn't matter how it comes out. Susan, loved your Valentine pic. Hope we get to meet MM one day.
Off I go to dryer and dinner prep. Best to all.

That is funny Shari! Enjoy the help while you've got it. I admire that you are embracing the unknown. The next phase. Retirement or wherever you choose to do.

Thanks, Melinda! I am excited, overwhelmed by the effort to be made in getting ready to go. But not nervous or worried. I meant to say DSis is wishing she had DM to pack. I think it's funny too - that she sent her up here (staying after wedding) and now could use her. I just have trouble telling others we're moving - they're so shocked, and often disappointed. I've spent my life not disappointing others! I feel like I'm saying, I have news, I'm going to take away your puppy. Almost everyone knows now - except church family, and two bigger WW mtg of members (staff knows). Ugh.
Watching TV before I hit the hay w my book. We made some headway - lots more planned tomorrow. Sleep well, My CaTs

I am so weary but my 2 year old visitor, despite having no nap today, wants to join the big Kids and grandpa for TV night.
I got a grandparents pass to our zoo. Today it was 75 degrees and no school, so I took 5 kids (one borrowed and my 4 grandkids) and we went. The visitor didn't arrive til noon, and as I'm leaving I heard in the news the interstate was backed up and streets were clogged with zoo traffic. Truly one of our first really nice days, and Omaha public schools were all closed. My idea of lots of steps didn't pan out as the aquarium and desert dome were both crowded and required weaving in and out of crowds with the double stroller. Those were the places they wanted to start. Since we got such a late start, we didn't get through the inside things even. Well be going back.
Frieda, what do DDS do on weekends? Good thoughts to you.
Mcat, that's interesting xh is becoming such a copycat. Admires your ideas obviously. Btw, you asked about the age of the little girl walking. I'd guess 7. Probably no older. The town is very small and quiet.
I think I need to settle an issue
