OOO I wanna play too! 2 weeks frrom RIGHT NOW I'll be arriving or in the car driving to the airport!!! I just got word the 6th grade Olympics are on, yep...you guessed it...May 16! Shit! It is hard to be "under the radar" when I need to be gone during this time. Oh freakin well...I am going to Texas!

Kat~ Rick is a keeper! Michelle~ Congrats to you! Jenn~ Congrats to you too on first day "on the job" Nigh Night!

Hey Violets~ I got my fill!!! I was @ 1.2 and now I am 2.4!!! WOWSER! I am so glad I got it. I was sitting in the waiting room and my principal called and told me I had a meeting w/ a parent!!! I was smokin pissed...I told him I was NOT informed of it and was at the doctor. Since the waiting room was packed, I told them I'd be back and went back to work for the meeting (literally about 5 blocks from work). Anyway, after the meeting, I went back and the waiting room was empty, so that was good. Anyway, we are going to the street fair, and I'll be having soup (yuckyuckyuck). Have a great night!!! Who won, and what did they win???

Haydee~ I lovelovelove the table!!! I am a sucker for dark woods. My suggestion would be to find an island w/ the darker tones. But then it depends on how close the table will be to the island. In my living room, I have lots of dark woods...and in our den/TV room, we have lighter woods. Plus the dining room table is light (I am gonna change that one day to darker). They both look great...but that is my 2cents. Love that table!

I don't pack early either. I will just forget what I've packed...plus I need my "daily" stuff, um...daily. I have a cute suit from my "before" days, but it looks good now. I may try to buy a new bather the week we leave, just in case I can drop that last 70 pounds in 2 weeks:lol::lol:I crack myself up!

Contest~ Exact same weight:confused2: The last week or so, I've really over eaten...sad but true. I think I am having an issue. I totally wanted a ciggy yesterday soooo bad. But...no gain...no loss...(shrug). I am getting a fill today, which will help a lot. Tracy~ I thought it was the wind. My friend was here, and she said, "did we just have an earthquake?" I said, "no, it was the wind..." What an idiot. Then just then, the newsguy popped on and said it was a 4.2...but it was kinda scary last night. Our mountain is still on fire, the wind is soooooo bad, we had a big rig tip over cause of the wind, and then the earthquake. What a night. Susanne comes in tonight. Haven't seen her since Monday. We are going to walk the street fair. I usually spend too much $$$. Since I can't eat food tonight, I'll probably get a slushie and enjoy! Have a great day! xoxoxo

Just when you said that...they changed back to the old "newer" version of the home page...

I hope this lesbian person ya'll keep talking about isn't contagious...I'd hate to catch lesbianism from her.

Hey Ho Violets~ Our beautiful mountain is on fire:frown::smile2:. I hate that. Palm Springs is a valley and we are surrounded by mountains. our main big beautiful one, which I live about 3-4 miles from the base (pretty close) is on fire. Kat~ One thing I know from all my medical stuff w/ mom AND grandpa is that you have to be your own advocate! Tell Manda, or you yourself, keep notes w/ dates, doctors, procedures, etc. Speak up when needed. My mom was MISDIAGNOSED for 4 months...by then her cancer was stage 4! ((HUGS)) Jenn~ There is a great deal of research on depression after WLS. Especailly if you were "so inclined" before, or struggled w/ bouts in the past. You've done great w/ the weight loss, but perhaps you need to "see" someone to deal w/ some of the issues that WLS didn't fix. ((HUGS)) to you too! I wanna see Judy in her cheerleading outfit! Gotta run! xoxoxoox

BRAVA TERRI! I love you!:blushing::tt1: ((((HUGS)))) Kat...we are here for you. High Five Susie...good for you for getting your "afternoon on" and doing something for you! I am proud of you! You all are so wonderful! I am blessed to be a violet!

What a lovely day! The 8th graders are gone:thumbup: and the 12 6th and 7th graders I have are enjoying a movie! OH HAPPY DAY! I am having a hell of a time w/ my toe. It is infected still, even after soaking it 1- 2 x a day in Epson salt. I am hoping my fill doctor will look at it and write my something. I must get it better so I can get a pedi. Not much else to report...enjoying the silence of a Manuel-less day!:w00t::w00t:

You can just use my 'regular' clothes! I was thinking we can meet at the Hertz rental car place at/near the baggage claim. Problem is...I don't know how or where to meet...but every airport has a Hertz rental car place. What do you think!

You didn't hurt my feelings honey. I did give away 10 pair of pants in Jan. But I just don't have the huge pants that I can fit two of me in, yet!!! Thats ok..ya'll bring your pants, and I'll be the photographer! xoxoxo

UM...some of us are still wearing them. Not really, I gave all away, but they were just a couple inches bigger...would not look "inspirational" in a pic. Sorry.

Buenos Dias Violetas~ Another day, half a dollar! It is testing week(s)...boy, did we plan it well...we stop testing May 15th:biggrin:. So, for the next 3 weeks, on Tues, Wed, Thurs...we have testing block! Then we have 30 min. periods! That should make the weeks FLY BY!!! Yes Tracy...looking forward to summer. Since the start of the year, I've had 4 kids placed in Special Ed ALL DAY, 2 expelled...and that is my good class. We have 33 work days left...and we are all in counting down. I know it sounds like I am miserable w/ work. I am blessed to have a job, and very blessed for it to be a job that I really love...just this year is rough. Can't beat it as work goes; I work 181 days a year, school day ends at 1:50 (only about 1 meeting a week after school, sometimes 2), and I am paid EXTREMELY well for all of it. So, I shouldn't complain. But, if you all knew Manuel...you'd be "cryin" too! I worked out last night. I had a "kick yo ass" headache walking in...thinking it would go away. It just go worse, but I did it. She played the Justing Timberlake song "Love Stoned" and I love that routine! Hopefully I'll go tonight. I have the air conditioning guy coming to do the spring service. The window is 3-5, so...I'll have to wait and see what time he comes. Have a great day. I'll check in from work!

ROFLMFAO!!! Ya'll are funny...but looks aren't everything!

Nobody told me a lesbian was going??? I may need to rethink this trip!

Nope...he is here...workin' my last good nerve. Tomorrow he is on a field trip to the high school:biggrin: bye bye #$%^&*

Haydee, love the dress. I'd go w/ bronze w/ the orange...or at least gold. Bronze will be perfect though. How fun! Can't wait to meet you! OMG...I just choked up writing about meeting Haydee...then crying this am w/ Tracy...I am sooo emo now.

Tracy~ You made me cry! I am so happy for you, you both look beautiful! Have fun on the trip! Susie~ You are an amazing person...and have made wonderful strides in taking back your life. It is not about where you've been but where you are going! Jane~I am still 250 ish...and still have 70 pounds to go. My goal is 180. I agree w/ Judy...we have so much to celebrate. I don't give a hoot about someones size...it is the quality of thier character that I am interested in. Can't wait to meet you and all the violets! OK...bbl Looking forward to hearing from Laura...hope her weekend was great.

Speaking of funny T-shirts, I once offered this guy 20 bucks for the shirt off his back. I would have offered more, but didn't have any more on me. It read: When I grow up, I want to be Martha Stewart...That bitch can do everything! I am also bringing a carry on. But I know that if I find something I MUST HAVE and it won't fit, I'll ship it home. I'd like to find a great purse/wallet thingy, but not really sure. I got a great purse in Cape Cod last year (4 different colors of soft leather) but it is too heavy for summer. Now I am using a cheapo one from Wally World and the damn thing broke! (Get what you pay for). Anywho, I'm sure I'll find something to buy...always do. I am soooo jazzed. I made my hair appointment for May 15!!! Nothing but the bestest for my Violets:tt1::cool2::thumbup::laugh: xoxoxoxoxo

Thanks Kat~ The closest feed store is 30 miles away, but my brother lives there, so we get up there every now and then. I emailed everyone (I don't think I have Susie's email) the pix of the hummingbird eggs. A friend said that she would try to nurse them or whatever it is you do w/ eggs. They are soooooo small. But at least they may have a chance w/ her, instead of dying in the nest. Anyway, since I don't know how to post pix, they are in your email! Tracy and Janie~ What do you think of the show??? It is not on here yet, but I cheated! OOOO my! xoxoxo

Morning Violets~ Tracy and Denise~ Happy Bandaversary! I loved your post Tracy...it has been an amazing ride for you. TracyK and Janie~I too am sad to see it end. But it will be back in July! Yeah!!! Terri~OMG loved that bird and heart. What fun...and you are doing sooo great at it! Well, I think I told you all about the hummingbird that built her nest about 10 feet from Klaus our Rottie??? Well, you guessed it...dead hummingbird this morning, and an empty nest:mad::huh2:. Susanne was pissed, but I am not completely sure he killed her. If so, why didn't he eat her (he EATS EVERYTHING). So...kinda sad and pissy around here today! Have a great day! xoxoxoxoxox

If I have to wear jammies...then I am not going! Kidding! Actually, I don't usually, but I will for our trip, lol. Can't believe we are in the teens!

Hey Everyone~ Denise...happy Bandaversary! You've done so very well. Considering the band is for life, I'd say your first year is a success! So good to see you posting! Kat~ Hugs! Sending Manda some purple power!!! Well, about noon, right when it was 100 degrees, we decided to move a bit. We went out and cleaned the poop, and played water w/ Klaus our Rottie. His ear is getting eaten alive w/ the damn flies. We spray this stuff on him, but they are ruthless. His left ear is bloody and raw. Been this way since he was a baby. Doctor said he has that kind of blood that attracts 'em. I feel so bad. We put liquid bandage on, and other stuff...nothing works. It is only during Spring time, but my poor little baby! Then we decided to donate our TV, surround sound, DVD and a SHITLOAD of other stuff to a friend of mine I teach w/. She is in her late 50's, and is raising 3 kids under 4 years old (two are her DD's who is hooked on drugs, and the third baby is her 17 yr old grand daughter). She is a great lady, but literally had 3 car seats in her car. She foreclosed on her house last month and now is renting a house. So we gave her a bunch of stuff. She takes this stuff up to the swap meet and sells it. It really helps her out. The TV we gave her Susanne and I bought 3 years ago for nearly 400$...so she should be able to get some good $$$. gonna order a pizza and relax...have a great night! xoxoxooxox
