Well, I had my first PF night last night. (shhhhhhh  ) And since I have a pretty good feeling that my cycle is on its way OUT (the bitch), hubby has agreed to have a family Valentines Day party here.  He wanted to have a holiday party, but cancelled it because I was still in pain and he wanted me to enjoy myself.
Anyway, since I wasn't able to really enjoy Christmas or New Years, I am throwing myself into Valentines Day. The same day I took all the Christmas decorations down, I had my heart banners, lighted window heart decor and the cupid window clings up. I then hit the Dollar store yesterday and bought a bunch more stuff, like valentine garland, tablecloths, tabletop centerpiece and mobiles. I then told hubby today I will be purchasing red, pink and white balloons with a helium tank that I will attach ribbons and cut out hearts to, plus Valentines treats for the kids. I am so psyched!!! I am going to also buy myself 3 different kinds of wine to slowly indulge myself with.
Do you think I'm going overboard???? 
I cannot wait for a week of PF time, because then I'll know it's GONE. I am so glad you are all here, I am so grateful to Deej (yeah, I don't say it often like some, but old zipperhead really did a great thing when he started this place, even though I'm sure he doesn't like to acknowledge it) and lucky to have the knowledge I do to beat the bitch into the ground.
I am sure there are SO many out there without the net that arn't as fortunate... That's one thing that we need to make a goal of, when we come in contact with people in the grocery store, at the docs office, store, family, friends, etc. (when the topic of clusters comes up, and you know it does), is to give them the info. we have learned, so they don't have to suffer needlessly like we had for all those years. If you haven't made a New Years Resolution, but want to, THAT would be an awesome one!!!
Anyway, enough babbling from me. 
YAYYYY VD DAY!!!

No. But don't open those 3 bottles of wine for a while. Just in case.

Of course, we will see pics of the festivities right?

Mel, I'm glad you PF! Congrats!
And no, I don't think you went overbord. But then again, you are reading comments from the woman who loves to host a party and decorate houses... If I didn't love writing more, I'd opt to do that for living. So put as much cards, hearts and the rest as you like. I just want to see some pics someday, okay?
Enjoy!!!!!
Best wishes,
Sanna

Linda, I haven't even bought them yet, LOL. I'm doing some online research as to which ones I would like to buy. Is that nerdish of me? 
Steve.
Thanks.
Mel.
Langa & Sanna, I will definately take some pics of the place when it's all decked out! I am hoping it'll be something to remember....
oh, and p.s. my hubby IS a sweetheart! I wouldn't trade him for any other man in the world... EVER!

Mel,
For New Year's...Joe bought me this Italian Sparkling Wine called Asti....I highly recommend it.....it's excellent! I could only have a tiny bit because I was taking a lot of pain meds for my back, but it really tasted good!
I guess that's one of the few good things I take out of being chronic (for me) - as long as I stay away from certain types of alcohol, it doesn't affect my CH's.
Happy celebrating!!
Hugz,
Carrie

Ahhh yes, Asti Spumante, good stuff! We usually buy a few bottles of it for New Years. It has to be Santini though, the others don't taste right to me... 
I'm going to wait until I have 1 week of PF time before I touch a drink. I'm not going to send myself into an attack just for a small indulgence until I am sure I'm done with this cycle.
No Worries!!!

Mel,
Just checked that bottle of Asti in the fridge here...it's called Nando. I'll have to try that one you named on here, too, though! I did like the Nando!

Jas & Barb, Thanks!!!
Bob- Just what are you getting at? LOL
Carrie- I've never heard of Nando before. Does it say where it's made?
Linda- Is that what you drink? (snicker) I'm looking along the lines of a wine with good fruit, that is NOT dry and is red. I do have one picked out so far called Australia's Yellow Tail Merlot. I would like to also try some of the German Ruslei (sp?). And I will drink my wine with my pocket protector close to my heart and my glasses at the end of my nose.

Hell NO! I was like...um....being faceitious Mellie-poo.
Try Christians Bros. Port wine. It's not dry, It's red and it's as fruity as you are.
Don't forget to use wine glasses with a handle on them. The ones that look like canning jars. Damn, I crack myself up sometimes.

The Asti Nando is imported from Italy. I didn't see where in Italy on the bottle...but it is from there.

Linda- Big f'ing Ha Ha, lmao (p.s. ty for the suggestion on the wine. I'll have to look for it this week while I do my grocery shopping )
Charlie- Rite Aid?? They carry wine there? No freakin way!   ty hon
Kevin- Ohhh you have no idea. You should have seen my hubby yesterday, he was wondering if I had been snorting something the way I was acting all lovey dovey, LMAO. BTW, VD can mean many a thing my dear!
Carrie- Sounds expensive, was it bottled there too? I am going to be a little loose on the pocketbook this time when I buy my wine. Life is too short to always go with the cheap stuff. This time I want to enjoy the taste. I guess that means I am maturing.....
