BOO!

Monthly Archives:October 2006
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.

So this is the week of our semi-annual training at work. We hold it every April and every October. It is a busy week for me – IÂ present a couple of the sessions and the rest of the time I am taking care of the busy work: making sure coffee is made and that there are cups, sugar, creamer, etc; putting out nutritious foodstuffs in the morning – and CHOCOLATE and cookies in the afternoons; setting up the power point for the main presenter; etc., etc., etc. (shall we DANCE, ba da bamp ba!)
Yesterday one of the students (these are adult students, btw)looked up at me and said I want to be just like you when I grow up. As I am ever quick with the tongue I laughed and said What? worn out and rushing madly?
She assured me that it was sincerely meant and that if she could think of the word to describe me adequately she would tell me.
Well, folks, that was just a sweet balm. Very kind of her and a much needed compliment at that moment. All together now . . . awwwwwwww

THANK YOU all for your help so far. I appreciate you and I know that The Boy does, too.
Be sure to listen to the sound bites Lessa has placed there as well. ahhh, music to mah heart.

Don’t miss it . . the Circleville (Ohio) Pumpkin Show, that is. This was a favorite part of my childhood memories. Grandma Abbott, Mom, my sis and I would travel over to Circleville from Columbus to take in the Pumpkin Show. Oooh, the smells, the sights, the, the, PUMPKIN-ness of it all!
Look – recipes!
Free admission – with this ticket!
So much to do and so little time – a great big howdy to my aunt and uncle who are seeing out of town family this week – they are coming for the show and will stop by to see my aunt on their way back home.
If you miss it this year – well, you can start planning for next year:
Pumpkin Show 2007
Wednesday October 17, 2007 through Saturday, October 20, 2007
ahhhh great memories. Sure brings back Ohio fall to me to see this website each year. I miss the glorious colors of Ohio falltime. We have golden yellows here, but not the reds of the maples. Some of the lower ground cover and shrubbery takes on the red, but it’s just not the same.
So – if you have glorious fall colors in your home town . . . do me a favor . . . take a photo and put it on your blog and post the address here in my comments, okay? I’d love to make a virtual visit to your hometown.
