Mascara or no mascara? UPDATE

I CC said she was going to wear some make-up for her op. Having seen her without any make-up at all, I can tell you she looks just fine with or without it. Another thing I noticed about CC is that she doesn't seem to need any beauty sleep. We would stay up until the small hours and CC would get up quite early, looking as fresh as a rose. I, on the other hand, looked like something the cat dragged in, even though I had slept longer than CC...


We're all holding you in our thoughts, dear friend. I hope you recover from the anesthetic quickly so you can catch up with P's story about pee pee (we haven't forgotten about it, Irish).

[As soon as I hear any news about CC, I'll publish a new post, ok?]

UPDATE

[I'm typing this on the i-pad and it seems the formatting has gone out of the window!]

GrannyJ received an email from CC's sister. Here it is, a bit edited to stick to people's internet names:

GrannyJ, I'm CC's sister.. We are most grateful for everyone's kindness, support, prayers and encouragement... Surgery went well.. A 2cm tumor was removed and the dr believes from what he was able to see visually that the cells seemed to be contained. The pathology report will confirm any findings.. So... In 2 weeks we'll know if any or further treatment will be necessary .... 
Again thanks so much for your well wishes and more.... I'll stay in touch. GrannyJ, I would appreciate you passing the info along to CC's friends...

A warming post for today


We had a freezing post yesterday. Let's get warm!


I'm posting this quickly from the i-pad because we have some friends arriving any minute now...

I just saw this joke and it seems to go well with the theme.


As a trucker stops at a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says "Hi, my name is Heather and you're losing some of your load." 

The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street. When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the blonde says brightly, "Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!" 

Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street. At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker lowers the window. Again she says "Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!" 

When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blonde's car. He knocks on her window, and as she lowers it, he says "Hi, my name is Kevin, it's winter in Michigan and I'm driving the SALT TRUCK!"
