I got the most fantastic massage EVER today and blew a bunch of money on make-me-feel-pretty makeup, yes...it was a feel good day! I never do that and I enjoyed it soooo much.

Berni had a poop at 11 this morning and at 5 this afternoon. Is that what you mean when you ask her to declare if "I am hot shitzin"?

Lauren's happy to have her last reminder of HL gone....she got "deported" on Monday. Her passport got taken out of her arm and is sitting in a cup on her dresser. I'd post the pictures she had the tech take during the procedure but they're not pretty.

Susan --

That's amazing news for Lauren. Please give her a BIG hug and send congrats her way from all of us. To be so young, and survive such a disease is so admirable in my eyes. I hope next year is bright and fulfilling for her, and you and her get to enjoy a very relaxing summer.

Much Love,

Bekah

Hey! Big special congrats to Lauren on the deport!! That is a HUGE event. There is nothing so wonderful as feeling that flat patch on your chest!

Quick side note: if she got dissoluble stitches, just make sure they're watched. My scar has ended up rippling and part of it is a raised bump which I think I may have to have reopened if I want it to be less noticeble with summer shirts, etc.

As for hot shiznit, I think my hottest shiz is just having moved across the ocean to start over here in the USA. That and interviewing for a new J-O-B.

Over and out.

Jess

Lauren's port was in her arm - she has 6 staples that will come out in 2 weeks. He recut the spot where he put it in. I will send along yr congrats (and hugs too Bekkah). I hope and pray that HL will never cross her path again....but, of course, I'll worry about it for years to come.

Susan,

Brava for you and your brave daughter! PLEASE stay on the boards and let us know how she is (and keep giving us your big luv).

As for hot shiznit, i bought a gorgeous dress to wear to a wedding nest weekend. The coolest part (to me) is it is very low cut and shows my barely healed port incision. I think its so sexy sitted on my barely breasted, lean chest. Surprisingly, even my very conservative beloved thinks its brave-sexy.
