October has fairly slipped away from me because of all the busy-ness at work.

I generally say something during October about breast cancer awareness month. It used to be that I had my mammograms in October, but now they are done in July when my “bosom buddy” (pun intended) and I drive to Anchorage together and have lunch and then our mams (in separate rooms, but upholding each other as we await the word to go home or have further tests)

Breast cancer runs in my family. I lost an aunt to it in 1972. I lost a cousin to it three years or so ago. I try to take care of my breasts – monthly self-exam, physician exam yearly, and yearly mammogram. Yup, we’re all about the touchy-feely here in moosie-breast-land.

Last year I discovered Pink Auctions and then lost the link. Tonight curiosity got the better of me and I went seeking the site again.

Yesterday I wore the necklace I bought from one of the artists during last year’s auctions. I hope you will go and check out the page. I am also hoping they get a few more auction items up. If you ping them and request, I’m sure more will be forthcoming.

in the meantime, be nice to “the girls” as Less would say.
