Happy Birthday Freda!

Karen3 - Glad to hear the surgery went well. You will be dancing in the streets before you know it, girl!

Karen3, I'm so glad your surgery went well!

Good evening GG's,

I haven't been able to get on much the last few days ~ worked extra days and extra hours because of the surveyors being there. Six days down one more to go. I went in early this morning ~ so I got cheated out of my internet time (3FC, FB and Pinterest) ~ I suffered withdrawals ~ LOL.

They were on our floor this afternoon. The boss said she thinks they were done with us ~ they will still be around tomorrow ~ but hopefully elsewhere in the hospital.

Off the weekend ~ yippee. Better get to bed now.

Hope all of you are doing well.

Take care

helllo?????? anyone here? helllllllllooooooo???????????

I guess everyone is busy this time of year. I baked cookies all morning and when I sat down to watch my soaps I saw the special news report of the school shooting in CT. My prayers go out for all involved. What a horrible thing to have happen. I can't think of any motive to justify this.

Hope you're feeling better, Karen 3.

So very sad to hear about the senseless shooting this morning.. .It just breaks my heart for all the families...

Good evening...It there is nothing to say about the awful thing that has happened. Those poor babies. Those poor parents....my prayers are pilled up high for them all. k3

Yes ~ add my prayers to the piles too K3 ~ I can't even begin to imagine how awful that must feel.

It is just too horrible for words. Really puts everything else in perspective.

Hi Golden Girls –
Where to begin?
Karen FL- Glad you got the surgery over with. I hope you start feeling better quickly.
Freda – Happy Birthday – belatedly.
Rosey – glad you have such a nice time with your DD. And there is no way I could bake cookies without sampling some.
On 12/12/12 I took my mom in to see her doctor about a rash she had on her breast. In 2 days it had quadrupled in size and gotten quite ugly. Didn’t hurt or itch. So when the doc saw it on Wednesday morning he looked and said, “I’m afraid she has breast cancer.” We were shocked. She had mam and ultrasound. She will have biopsies by 2 different doctors on Friday. I have to admit, I am feeling overwhelmed.
Local ENT said there is a small lesion that showed up on DH’s CT scan. Had his scan from last year sent to him and he said it was on that one too so that is a good sign. It may be nothing serious. We are waiting to hear from his oncologist in Houston to see what she has to say.
The catastrophe in Conn., the pain of those families, it’s just beyond comprehension. What is wrong with this world? I am not feeling the joy and spirit of the season. Kind of sinking into a hole. I’ve been trying to escape in some t.v. shows but I’ve gone through Homeland and Scandal. I found those very distracting. Guess I better up my meds. Big, big, BIG hugs to all of you, all of them.

Good evening GG’s,

Back to work tomorrow. The survey is over ~ so hopefully the rest of the year will be sort of back to normal and without everyone on pins and needles. Just the regular stesses without the extra.

It has been a nice weekend (any day off is nice ~ LOL). Jason, Sara, Maddie and Corbin were here for a little bit last evening. Jason finally got to eat his birthday chili. Got lots of hugs :D At one point they were all sitting on the floor watching a video of some crazy dance on Youtube. Then they got up and Sara was trying to do it ~ Corbin said she needed to work on it.

Finally got the stuff that I need to send to the nieces and nephews up north fixed up and ready to send. Just have one gift for the box to youngest DD Jen’s family to wrap. Waiting for Maddie to come back ~ she wanted help me pick out the paper and wrap it. I will have to get to the post office before work tomorrow. Hope the lines aren’t too long.

Then on my next day off ~ Friday ~ have to get the stuff wrapped up for family here. Plus, Sara brings her stuff for me to wrap. I don’t mind though. It is kind of like therapy to me. I really enjoy it. Wrapping and Christmas music or a Christmas movie and a cup of hot cocoa ~ can’t get much better than that.

The hard thing at work right now is all the goodies that are around. The doctors bring stuff. I am doing a little better with it so far than I did last year. I was making several trips to the bathroom with a detour to the break room to get a couple cookies. I would have some at lunch break and again while packing up my stuff to go home and also would put several in a napkin to eat on the way home. Now, still allowing myself some, but only at lunch and a few before I go home. Not perfect, but so far ~ better than last year.

Carbie ~ hope you don’t get your grandson’s cold.

Deelee ~ so sorry for all you are going through

K3 ~ how is your knee doing?

Donna ~ so glad to hear that your pain is better.

I’m sorry ~ I know I didn’t get to everyone tonight ~ will have to catch up on another day.

Hope you all have a good nights rest ~ take care

Hi Golden Girls,

I have been reading thru this thread and thought I would say hi:wave::wave:

Hope you all don't mind if I lurk in here sometimes to read your posts. I promise to say hi once in a while. I like the positive vibe I get from you ladies, the more positive feelings the better.
