Heck, I show up without makeup and I'm all set! :)

I know its far in advance, but... I have to secure the larger room, so just trying to get a feel for the day so I can lock it in with the restaurant. Hate the thought of SRO again.

Phyl:

It feels weird committing to a brunch date six months out but if we must, we must.  I'll go for October 25th - but I could also do the 18th.  To make it simple, just put me down for Oct. 25th.

I'm so glad you all had such a great time on Sunday and thank you so much,Phyll, for calling me and cheering me up.  It was wonderful to chat with you all for a few minutes and get to be a little part of such comaraderie.  The apple dumplings look and sound scrumptious!! Katie, little Audrey is adorable.

Hugs,

Yes Lisa, I look like hell in those pictures. I've been noticing that ever since my surgery about four years ago my face has been very puffy.

Physically from the neck down I feel fine. From the neck up though I'm a wreck.

Today was absolutely horrible with the heavy weather we had: sick, lurid nightmarish dreams last night and crushing barometric pressure today resulting in headaches, extreme double vision and depression.

Give it some time, Nancy.  Your surgery wasn't even a month ago.

I know it's hard to be patient, and that time can drag on when you're recovering, but you'll get there  :)

Double ditto from me!  I once told one of my many MDs that if they just cut my head off above my shoulders, I'd be fine!!!  ::) 

But, seriously, Nancy, I think you're doing fantastic ... time will heal!

And Phyl, add my vote to Oct. 25 for next brunch!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to say thanks so much and it was so good meeting you all last Sunday!  I fully attribute having a GREAT race in Boston to stuffing my face sufficiently the day before :)  I came in at 3 hours and 42 minutes and felt fantastic!

Off to CA on Saturday for Surgery on tuesday - whooooaaaa.....

I'll keep you all updated!
