Thursday Thoughts?

-My friend found out they found cancer in her lymph nodes, so she will have to do chemo after she's done with radiation. I feel so helpless. And I'm pissed at the medical system, because they tell her this over the phone but can't get her in to actually meet with the oncologist for weeks. WTF? She's spinning and won't have any answers until then.

-BF met DS on Tuesday and it went really well. It took all of a minute or so before they were both making fun of me lol.

-I've been putting a C effort at work lately, so I'm trying to step it up again. I'm actually getting shit accomplished today, which is nice. And I've been honest with my supervisor about it, and he's supportive, so that's a nice change.

-I'm sooooo ready for the weekend!!

doriswe, I'm sorry about your friend. That is crappy news to get.

(((doriswe))) I'm sorry, that's tough news for her to hear and for you to hear and try to support her through.

I have date #4 tonight with the guy who is 11 (!!!!) years younger than me. We're going to watch the sunset and then have dinner. I'm hoping tonight we finally kiss.

doriswe, I'm sorry about your friend's bad news. It sucks to not be able to do much.

tiramisu enjoy the date!

It's my Friday - woot! Tomorrow I'm taking Owen for a makeup jumping session at the farm that was rained out last weekend. After that - we're packing and crossing our fingers that our Sunday morning flights aren't affected by Florence.

tiramisu, you will certainly get no judgement from me on the age thing lol!
chalupa, hope your flights are unaffected!

bullygirl979, you look beautiful and very happy in your wedding pics.

I am also ready for the weekend! This week has been dragging.

A friend brought me several lbs of pears from a tree in her yard, so now I need to figure out what to do with them!

[tiramisu]

Thanks udscoobychick! Bake ALL THE THINGS!! At least that's what I'd do.

[bullygirl979]

udscoobychick, thank you

And, feel free to bake a pear tart and send it to me

This week has been really busy and has flown by, which is nice. I had my big client quarterly presentations this week and thankfully they went really well and there weren't any issues.

I met with my two friends earlier this week and turns out that we were all slackers on planning for London, as no one has done much research. We all have pretty similar ideas on what we want to do but the one person we haven't traveled with before said she isn't much for art galleries so I was a little bummed by that. I could easily spend an entire day in one. We agreed we'd all come up with our "short list" by Monday so we can make a loose idea of what we want to do. I'm getting so excited!

(((doriswe))) I'm sorry.

Enjoy the date tiramisu!

This week really has been flying by, and things have been so busy. H and I have been doing some car shopping lately. Our lease is up in November. We love our Jetta, but I know that H also misses having a Jeep! We used to have one back in the day and we really miss it. We'll see what happens.

bullygirl979, my friend gave me a pear crumble pie recipe that I might need to try! I also want to bake an "I quit" cake to bring in to my office, so I'm thinking a spice cake with pear filling and a brown sugar cream cheese frosting.

This is pretty much what my wedding cake was last December (ours was pear cake with pear filling and a chai-spiced cream cheese frosting). It'll make a delicious I Quit cake, LOL.

I will gladly take either/both of these cakes, please and thank you.
