Hate to clog up the personals with my posts but I just had to show off the new hat that arrived at my house yesterday from a loving cutie. I wore it to chemo today and the nurses loved it when I told them about "cuties" and I handed out some little angels to them that another cutie sent me. (whisper....Devon and Shirlene) When God takes away the cancer he can take that double chin turkey neck with it!

Hugs to all, Debra

Debra we love every post of you! Don't stop it ;o)
This hat is so cute and so you have one to change with your little sockmonkey *lol*
Have to go to bed now (6.35am) but will look here again later on...

Bettina, do you ever really sleep? Yes, it is going to be hard to wear my sock monkey hat when I now have this really meaningful hat!
by ansalu 31 Dec 2011
Sweetie it was just training for tonight ;o)
Hope you have a wonderful New Year-party and wish you all the best for 2012...

Great photo of you and the "Cutie" hat. Devon did some really nice work on it and will be pleased you did such a nice job modeling it. Your area has a few days next week of below freezing so your hats are going to get a good work out.

Thanks, don't like pics of me, don't usually look good. Love the hat, she did a great job! It's gonna be plenty cold here and will be for months, yuck, I want sunshine and 70's!
by capoodle 31 Dec 2011
Yes for the sunshine and 70's. All ready tired of the heat with the stuffy head and dried out skin and our winter is just getting started.

Isn't it adorable? Shirlene asked my favorite color and I don't have just one but red is the top of the list and I noticed a lot of green and pinks in my closet lately!

Debra, this is so very CUTE - can't wait to see what DeVon says. I love that you posed in front of your angel tree - I see a few new angels and other ornaments, but I love that Angel Tree Topper, too.

by leenova54 31 Dec 2011
Oh, my tree is beautiful, hate to take it down but it does crowd our small space and I love all the angels and the topper fits and looks perfect up there. It is going on a shelf in the living room till next Christmas! Can't pack away things that pretty
by shirlener88 01 Jan 2012
Oh my - that is wondeful news.
by meganne 01 Jan 2012
You could always pin all the angels to your curtains instead of putting them away??
by leenova54 01 Jan 2012
That's another good idea but I need new curtains first, the chair in front of them swivels and rocks and it has the curtains in bad shape. First that chair is going to be gone soon, then the curtains replaced (I have the old ones in the basement but I have to see if the rubber backing has been ruined, if not they are still in good shape and I won't have to buy new ones) and then the angels will find a place.
by shirlener88 02 Jan 2012
I know you will come up with a way to display them - they will guide you and guard you in your recovery.

Even removing a double chin would not be worth that!
I thought...well, I'll go thru chemo and be thin at the end of the treatments (just like a woman!) Let me tell you....that's not how it went down. My dr. said lots of women gain weight during chemo, I think it's some of the drugs they give you, like steroids! Just get well, and don't worry about chins!
1 comment
by leenova54 31 Dec 2011
I know, that stinks, when I got the lung cancer 2 years ago I joked to a dear friend that I was going on the ultimate chemo diet! I did not lose an ounce! My doctor keeps saying they don't want me to lose weight and I keep telling them that I want to! I do have prednisone here and it will pack on the weight but it stopped my asthma cough which made my ribs hurt so I used it for that. I have more but won't use it unless I start coughing again.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely. ~Roald Dahl
Beautiful hat, Sunbeam!

Thanks, I have always hated my body, till I was 30 I didn't weight more than 90 pounds unless I was pregnant and wanted bigger boobs and heavier legs, now I complain cause I gained the weight and hate it, lol. Prednisone for asthma did me in big time and now laziness keeps me that way, have lost through Weight Watchers a couple of times but gain it back.
by bowlds 04 Jan 2012
See, steriods! When my daughter has to take Prednisone, you can not fill her up!
by leenova54 04 Jan 2012
Yes, steroids are the worst and do make you gain, you just are constantly hungry and then the weight from it is harder to lose than usual.

I made some of the other FSL ornaments, you can see one just below the light blue angel and I have a 3-D tree off to the side of the purple angle but all the angels came through the mail, I was in shock! I loved the tree and next year it will be all angels! I plan on being here for it, I don't want to let cancer beat me!

Of all of the words to misstype, I messed up LORD! I badly need surgery on my eyes but the time is not right just yet. I do have a hard time seeing the keyboard and the print on the page. That too will improve with time and then surgery! Funny, but during Christmas was when I had the worst problems. Every Christmas decoration and light looked like round wreaths to me. That was only at night when the light were on. I felt like all of the lights were Christmas wreaths with the halo's around them. I have on contacts and reading glasses but still have a hard time..Of course the tiny print is what is so hard to see, not the designs and the people! You look lovely!
