Thanks Nel! They are so accurate. The first time I visited France I looked everywhere to find Frenchmen wearing striped shirts with berets hugging and armpit baguette.....What I saw and heard was quite different. Enjoy!<br />

Apparently, women value their friendships much more than men do. They take them more seriously, sincerely care about what's going on in the lives of their women friends and feel a genuine need for regular sisterly togetherness.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5e9aFGbeWyfxqqqSc6lsVjRx1_8PuNWGjZeXdhQSjuh2_YPRLe6GpGezGAU6TfL_bmOpLTPOSVr30_KD-66-N3qKK90g-1Cr8U5r2Ev2-DOMMn5hhrb_M1BL0b9cNDhs8cOOUJnpUR3Y/s1600/girlfriends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5e9aFGbeWyfxqqqSc6lsVjRx1_8PuNWGjZeXdhQSjuh2_YPRLe6GpGezGAU6TfL_bmOpLTPOSVr30_KD-66-N3qKK90g-1Cr8U5r2Ev2-DOMMn5hhrb_M1BL0b9cNDhs8cOOUJnpUR3Y/s400/girlfriends.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> The article said women who have viable friendships throughout their lives, in particular as they grow older, tend to live longer and suffer from less illness than women who don't have many confidants. Having friends you see regularly helps to reduce stress, improve the immune system and offers a support system that can rival the ear of even the most qualified psychiatrist. Seems women have figured it out, or maybe it's just something hardwired in us from the beginning of time. Women <i>need</i> the company of women <i><b>just because.</b></i><br />
<i><b></b></i><br />

At this point in my life I have a handful of friends I know I can count on. They bring me incredible joy and their place in my life is immeasurable. Because I'm a very open and frank person, I find it incredibly satisfying to be able to tell my friends what's on my mind, no matter what. They are like my therapists. They also make me laugh, help me through tough times and celebrate the happy times and being with them just makes me feel healthier.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLaxeBdaP4jo4vFj1sFXp9SCKZxR36Jj0O_-tfzNAGtevtMy_2poq8VNTdJohj5IdnRw_OorWRIXqMxMiuoVRtzOhWvcxtE47mlJUED5lEzdQN_8a5UozLYwsWNAQESyQ6MiiQYXNEI8uQ/s1600/girl-talk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLaxeBdaP4jo4vFj1sFXp9SCKZxR36Jj0O_-tfzNAGtevtMy_2poq8VNTdJohj5IdnRw_OorWRIXqMxMiuoVRtzOhWvcxtE47mlJUED5lEzdQN_8a5UozLYwsWNAQESyQ6MiiQYXNEI8uQ/s320/girl-talk.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> When I was younger and while I was raising my kids, I didn't have near the friends I have now. Of course my children were my main focus, and even then I still managed to have two regular friends, both with the name Cindy. Only one Cindy has remained. I've since lost contact with the other, having moved to a new town. Now that my kids are almost grown and my husband works at home, I have more time to foster my friendships. I can tell you these women are very important elements in my life. I have a Girlfriend Friday group which consists of about 8 women who have known me since the early grades of grammar school. We meet once a month and make it a point to never miss a Friday. We look forward to a meal together and a night of sitting around the table just talking and catching up on each others' lives. The laughter is infectious on these Friday nites. My other group of friends are the women I met on the internet about 6 years ago through a Delphi forum. These women all share my interests in doll making and crafting/sewing. We have gathered together many times for crafting getaways where we all sit at a table with our sewing machines, laugh, sip on cocktails and share our stories and lives with each other. We also hit the antique shops and flea markets to seek out our favorite vintage treasures. The projects we work on are just something to keep our hands busy while we enjoy our time together. The laughter alone from any of these groups probably adds a week to my life each time I see them. When I'm with them, I<i> feel</i> better. My whole soul just sings when I'm with my girlfriends. Nothing beats the sisterhood of women.<br />

My friends are simply fabulous. There are things I can divulge to them I could <i>never</i> tell my husband. Their time spent with me is something I treasure. I want these women to grow old with me....to be there all through the coming years. I hope we'll all be around for a long time because between us all there is enough laughter to keep us going for a long time--and hopefully healthy for the next 30 years.<br />

Its about a company that charges 5$ a call to flatter people. Apparently its spreading like crazy! Miriam Glassman is the creator of the concept. Last week she spent 60 hours on the phone. She wont say what she's making but enough to make a living. She makes calls on your behalf. Sort of like a personal secretary. Mother is not feeling well....call Miriam and she knows how to cheer her up! Your employee reached her sales quota, she will call her with pats on the back! All this for 5$ !!! Dont believe me.

She was 38. She had 3 children, the youngest being 8 months old when she passed. The 2 others were 6 and 12. She had been a cancer survivor for a few years when she found out she was pregnant again. Her doctor recommended that she terminate her pregnancy as it put her at risk. She loved children and could not go through with with and had a beautiful baby girl but then...she found out that the cancer was back and it had spread. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Many criticized her for having a baby against her doctor's wishes but I remember her words: I feel I have been given a miracle and that this is God's way of showing me his love. She was by no means stupid, she was a university professor and had a heart of gold. As she was dying, she did not complain once but she kept worrying about the future of her 3 girls. She especially did not want them to be separated. Unfortunately, no one in the family could take in the 3 girls all at once. I know they have adjusted and are generally happy. It was a real heartbreaking story for all of us. I often think of Louise and of how proud she would be of her girls 10 years later. </b><br />
<br />
<b> I dedicate this post to her and everyone out there that is "<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">fighting like a diva</span>". We are making some real progress but the fight must go on. There is a contest on Polyvore to mark October as Cancer Awareness Month. The best set wins. Hope you enjoy it. There are a few items for sale listed at the bottom. Some of the proceeds go towards The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Check out the Estee Lauder Jeweled Pink Ribbon pin offered at 13$. Estee Lauder is donating the proceeds to the cause.</b><br />

The last few days have been spent on making a speedy recovery. I'm patient to a certain degree but complete rest is fun for the first 24 hours but anything beyond that is insane. I can only imagine what these Chilean miners went through after spending so much time in the dark. I cant compare my situation to theirs but in the meantime I've been coping by dreaming up "Dream Days". Below is one such example of my hallucinations: loads of cash on hand and a figure to die for. Here is how I would plan my dream day in Paris for example: </b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><b><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">First thing's first, I would check into a fabulous hotel. It's always nice to know you have somewhere decadent to have a quick power nap before heading out again. Paris has plenty of super luxe hotels to choose from, but for me there is only one; the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Plaza Athénée</span></b><b> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">better known as 'Carrie's hotel in Paris'. </span><i style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ever since I saw it in the last couple of episodes of SITC, it's stuck in my mind as one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever seen and somewhere that I must visit, one day.</span></b><br />

They are renowned for being impossibly chic, so I'm sure I could pick up a tip or two about being a bit more polished! I would definitely head over to Ladurée to indulge on a macaroon or 10, while doing some more people watching.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My inevitable sugar rush will almost certainly put me in the mood for window shopping. Paris is home to some ridiculously cool, iconic boutiques: </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Colette and L'Éclaireur.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Of course, no fashion trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to Chanel on Rue Cambon. The almost legendary building houses a Chanel store, haute couture dressing room, a workshop and Coco Chanel's apartment. It's such a beautiful building!</span></b><br />

I<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">'m sure a fair amount of time would be spent looking out for Karl Lagerfeld's yellow hummer, if I saw it I would probably throw myself at him!</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I would visit some of the markets and rummage around for some antiques. Marche aux Puces de Clignancourt is one of the largest markets in Europe, it's actually made up of 15-20 smaller markets and has over 2,000 stalls! For something a little more less crowded, I would head to Marche aux Puces de Vanves for some vintage clothes and costume jewellery.</span></b><br />

The only time we can actually stay outside a bit is at night. As you travel by car in Doha you can see many parks catering to children. They are usually empty. If you drive around 10:00pm or later at night you will find that the parks are full of children. Its understandable but its just weird to see so many mothers (all dressed in black veils) playing with their toddlers in the middle of the night. While walking around in a beautiful souk I found these beautiful Indian lanterns. Just the thing to brighten our tiny balcony.</b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>I traveled to Luxembourg in the spring and was very much surprised by its multi-level design. When you first drive in it looks very chic with hotels, banking institutions and fancy buildings, then you drive down in a sort of spiral and each level seems to belong to a different century. It is surreal as you navigate your car slowly to see a very old European city emerge with beautiful old mansions. At the top you feel like the 21st century and as you drive down the many levels you end up driving on small cobble street roads to finally arrive in a picturesque town from the Middle Ages. Hope you like this picture I took of the many bicycles as well as the castle-like structure at a higher level.</b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
