Merry Christmas!
« on: December 21, 2010, 07:33:31 pm »
I haven't had a lot to say over the last few months but do lurk here from time to time.  I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Let's hope 2011 is a better year for us all!

Best wishes,

Wendy

Hi and ditto what Steve said!

Except for the 'let it snow part' - we had the infamous 'snowmegedon' here in the Mid-Atlantic last December, and i am not sure i am ready for a repeat of that....!
A couple of inches of snow for a white Christmas would be fine - but please, not two feet again.

Ho Ho Ho!

Sue

PS  And a Happy Birthday to you, too, Steve!  Since we share a birthday, I will raise my glass for you!

Merry Christmas to all!  I respect the wishes of all those who don't want large amounts of snow, but I for one wish that the Houston weather gods would wake up and realize that this is December and not April !  We had record highs yesterday and I have friends who showed up for a party in flip-flops and shorts. ??? ??? I know Christmas should be in my heart-and it is as I thank the Lord for all my blessings-but I want to drink hot chocolate and mulled cider without breaking out in a sweat  :D :D

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

A very Merry Christmas to all!

After almost 2 weeks of freezing my butt off in Virginia Beach, I think I need to head to Kay and Priscilla's neck of the woods with a bottle of sunscreen and a cold glass of iced tea.

Let it snow - anywhere but here! 

Enjoy!!

We've got just enough snow to make everthing white.
Maybe the snow gods will give you a dusting tonight.

It's happened before in Houston, you just never know ;)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

I am visiting family in Brockton Massachusetts and we had 5 inches of snow a few days ago then 2 more Thursday Night.  It's going to be a white Christmas here!  I return to Florida on Monday, as long as we don't get snowed in by the storm Sunday night and Monday :).
 
Merry Christmas everyone!

I am definitely hoping that 2011 will be a better year than 2010.  Even the year I was diagnosed with my AN wasn't as horrendous as this one has been.

Merry Christmas to all and best wishes for a fantastic New Year!!!
