HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY!!!!! Hope you have a fantastic Birthday. Pam- I'm sure Suzanne made it home safe and sound but I understand the worry. Kat - I hope you hear today...and go you with the scale moving, hey the way I feel lately a lb is a lb. Michelle - go you... I have to go back and find the link for that 5 day thing. I'm doing protein shakes today. I need to do something. I wanted to get back to the gym this week but i have a very long list of things I need to take care of before I start working Good morning everyone... just getting up.. got an early visit this month from TOM... which sucks but I guess better than having to deal now than the first day of a new job - but definately explains why when I went shopping Sunday I wanted to take the bridge and felt like a big fat cow.

sorry - HI DENISE LOL I forgot you too ... and Jane... and maybe Michelle... in my drunken stuper last night. Off to shower and get groceries. I have a busy week ahead to get everything done before I don't have days anymore. when I go do my new hire stuff I have to tell them I need 3 days since I have trial on April 17th. :wub:

Morning ladies Judy - thank you... that was so very touching what you said, and it is true... I start next monday - the 25th. Kat - soooooo jealous.. LOL... my tt won't be until next year Laura - they are all giving good advice - I too am in the same place. I've been bouncing up and down for months, but then I go out and get hit on, get looks from people I have not seen in a while.. shoot, I went to Fridays for lunch with mom yesterday and this guy almost fell off his chair watching me (mom was cracking up - she was watching him). How easy is it to get comfortable with that? Anyway, I have not been to the gym in 6 weeks. I am going to try to get there today and if I don't make it i'll be there tomorrow, because next week when I start working days I'll be at the gym every night and will be doing water aerobics Tues and Thurs nights. I miss that - I was going in the morning but just so tired couldn't make it at 9am and then shower there - I felt like I was spending my entire day there. Now I'll be able to do aerobics and rinse off in the shower and not worry about drying my hair and fixing my make up and such. PLUS... I won't be working around food every day and sat nights are my oven nights so... that should help so much. Pam is right.... we need to figure out why we eat... that is the first step, but doing something bout it is not always easy when our environment is part of the problem.... well mine is changing so I won't have excuses

hi guys well. i've officially lost it again... celebrating being able to function again... love you pammy :cheers2:

good morning ladies I have missed a lot.. I do want to say... Laura and Judy - my heros... you guys look great... I went out after work friday night to have a job celebration drink and was going to be home by midnight.. well... 4 drinks and 2 shots of tequilla on top of that and 4am later... i got home... NSV... was hit on by a cute guy... and actually danced with him... and at my bar where I never ever do anything like that... another friend came over looking me up and down and gave me a great big hug and hold me how great I looked... anyway, needless to say i slept until 2 when I got up to get my car from the bar and go to work, I think I was still drunk at work... so after working all night last night... I got home and was so tired, took a little nap at 1 and got up at 4 to go pick up my neice who was completely wasted and needed a ride. She is just 21 and I'm so proud of her for not drinking and driving. I never laughed so hard in all my life... she is so funny and her friends they were cracking me up... so we are 1 minute from home passing a small town, i'm speeding, laughing hysterically and then the police lights turn on... OH SHIT... one of the friends says... my uncl is the capt of the police dept... i'll just tell them who I am.... I was freaking out... saying no don't do that... so he just pulled me over for my headlight, which has a short and I told him I was picking up the drunk kids, he was impressed ran my license to find out i'm clean and sent us on our way... no ticket nothing... so that is what I've been up to... Oh, Judy, every time you tell us about stroms and high winds it arrives here the next day... I hope you keep your ice storm.. How exciting... another curise Kat... Hope you fell better Jane - you too Terry - so glad you got a day to relax, you need it Tracyks & TracyK, Haydee, Michelle - hi there I know I'm forgetting someone... so hugs to you all off to go early b-day shopping to get some clothes for my new job... have my last week of full time pizza shop this week. It is going to feel good to get dressed every day.

:thumbup: i was looking for a hug and found this... and was cracking up. had to share

Morning gals i don't know why I'm awake but I am. Wow it was quiet here yesterday. I am so anxious about starting my new job. but after today only 1 more friday, just sucks that I have to work the week my kids are off I have to work nights... Denise - i'm so excited for you. I use to be in new construction lending and you are in for fun getting everything just the way you want it. hi de ho everyone... i'm going to bring my car to the dealer this morning and get that taken care of. I am also going to get my mom her birthday present, we are getting her a flat pannel tv for the breakfast room where she put the exercise bike she got for herself. I have such a sense of relief about everything and just can't wait to be functioning like a normal person again. Yes there are some things i'm going to miss by working day hours but i gain so much it is incredible I hope everyone had a great V-Day yesterday... i'm off to shower

Pam- Yup that was pretty much the way it went... sadly.. i think i got his attention...and that was not even my intention... LOL just felt good to go in there and not be a mouse... like i have always been. did i mention that my tickets are paid for!!!! that is a great feeling... and I paid off a credit card today! this is all good

hi guys yes, i'm slightly insane... i guess bottom line, I kicked ass.. and stood my ground and didn't let anyone make me feel wrong. I am so tired, i'm off to bed Denise - that is so very exciting! now the fun begins

Ok gals I went into family court. with my mom's super charged crystals - 1 necklace and 1 bracelet. black cord mini skirt, black sweater, tights and shoes... I must admit... looked pretty darn good for what it's worth. X-wife had bypass surgery about 6 months before me and she still weighs about 200lbs... she is shorter than I am but her face is very round and she did look good compared to what she use to be... but I was expecting her to be much smaller at a year out. anyhoo... I got to go first... I just went on and on. He came over (my company) he thought i was on the phone on purpose...employment guy called when i was in there and gave me details of my salary and start date Feb 25th - and pay structure. I said no... and you know how long I've been waiting on this job... I brought up medical, daycare, that I'm willing to work with him but really I have not said a word when I was 3 months without and already taking $80 a month less because they are giving me what they can required by law. I was strong, confident... and I think everyone was completely shocked at that. We have been in and out of court for 13 years and never have i stood up for myself like today! He said after we talked this morning he was not going to bring up childcare but it was in his petition... I told him I would not have if he would have told me that... I think my words about that were "I can't afford more than $80 a week for childcare, and I am not getting full amount of child support, so how is he going to be able to pay more than $40 a week?" I was nuts but so strong. Then he came over and we had the best make up sex ever.. LOL I know TMI... so today was not as bad as I thought it was going to be... I never ever have stood up for myself like that... and for that I THANK MY VIOLET SISTERS FOR GIVING ME THE STRENGTH AND COURAGE OVER THE LAST YEAR TO FINALLY BELEIVE IN MYSELF!!! WITHOUT YOU ALL... I WOULD HAVE JUST BEEN IN THERE BEING BACKED INTO A CORNER... INSTEAD... I TOOK MY PURPLE POWER AND KICKED ASS!!!! Oh and the judge told him that "you know when your lawsuit is settled you will be back in here and taking care of the children as they are entitled to that".... OMG... This is my year!!!

Kat family court was this morning... but i have visitors right now so can't get totally into it... i looked great and totally stood up for myself

Michelle So glad to have you back and that you had such a great time. Pam - you still look great... tired and all Sooooooo I must have had all the good violet vibes because I kicked butt today... i'll fill you all in shortly

Hi guys Terry - I don't know my start day, the attorney is hard to track down and his hr woman called and said she is trying to get him to work with her... ughhhh but that is ok, at least i know it is mine. I am going to be working on a new team, Commercial Real Estate. I will be working as a "paralegal" in a sense doing research, closings, working on codes and surveys... and I will even have a clerk under me to do all the silly bs work that I use to do. It is a brand new team and department so we get to develop it! I'm so excited! and I will have someone to do the shit I've always had to... and I won't forget what that job was like... I did shitty tonight with food, completely out of control. I have family court in the morning... with him and me and the ex all at the same time. I am besides myself stressed out. He says he is just going to show his paystubs... butwants to claim daycare... BS... i only pay $80 a week when he is full time but she doesn't claim it and that is an understanding ... anywhere else is $175 a week, not worth the write off. But if he wants to pay the difference... then we can do it. anyway.. just venting... we have a lot of issues that are all going to come to a head tomorrow... I think i'm going to have a drink and pass out and try to get some sleep

LOL just got in from the dermatolgist scraped and burned that thing off my finger, it was kind of disguting yet interesting. Laura - I'm so sorry I was slightly hung over this morning. I hope you didn't get the ice there. I am just getting my self together and realized I didn't get back to you in my drunken stuper. Going to eat something... i'm suddenly starving... would love a cupcake

Hey Kat - did she ever take off the red shirt? LOL well, I guess if you are going to fall apart... better you do it now and not in May! Have I mentioned how excited i am. LOL

Ok gals, I'm booked... confirmed and can't change my mind.. LOL I am going to fly into SAT on Thursday night, I will arrive at 10:40 and will just take a cab to a hotel. Who is doing the early SAT pick up? What time will you be there? Can someone swing by the hotel to pick me up or should I take a cab to meet Jane and Tracy? we can do lunch gals while waiting for Judy and Pam! OMG I'm so excited but nervous because it is so real at this point. but since I'm leaving from albany and at 6pm, I would only need to leave work at 4 on Thursday and take Friday and Monday which I'm much happier about. Flights were getting more expensive by the day... and the ones i'm on are almost empty - i got to pick my seats.

h e l l o :biggrin:

hi guys i just can't sleep, i have so much on my mind. I am so excited about getting paid enough money to survive that i just want to get all this stupid little shit paid off and the list is building in my head.. I have learned so much living on what little I have been, ya'll couldnt even imagine how hard it has been - and if I was not getting child support I would not have made it.... OH WAIT... there was 4 months without that too. So since I've lived without extras for so long, I'm going to continue to do it until SA and have everything straight. I also have to go to Family Court on Valentines day, and I'm a wreck about that. I don't know what they are going to lower it to but I just hate going there. We started making a deal and then stopped. But now that i start working in 2 weeks he can't say anything about childcare, and i'm trying to get medical reimbursement and just need to make sure that we can make it a temp adjustment because he will be done with classes and will be back to work this summer, and will have his settlement for his accident. needless to say... i'm wide awake. I'm going to finish watching Tin Cup and hope to fall asleep

night girls i am mentally exhausted... if you can only imagine.... plus now already hung over... and can't even drive to give my 2 weeks!! snow is out of control, I'm going to have to get up and deal with it.. but who cares... i have a great day job@!!!! night all... those are the best dancin' banannas ever love ya'll

hi all i got home, mom had a drink for me and now on 2 drinks i'm completely f'd up Thanks Kat... for letting everyone know. I need to figure out my flights so i can let them know tomorrow. I might come in on friday morning so i only miss 2 days. I have decided that I will fly back with Judy on Monday so I can be to work on Tues am. I'll post details later once i officially decide. Any hoo.. Laura... I got your message, i'm wasted... we are getting a huge storm up here in Albany...I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring other than a hangover! love ya all.. can't believe i'm going to have anormal lifer again!

Morning gals dd still has a horrible headache and her nose hurts so bad, but not broken so it is ok, i had her take some motrin to school with her so she can take them at lunch You guys will be the first to know about the job. I'm jumping every time my phone rings

OMG so went to group, no call ... then came home and took dd to the ER with her $50 co pay. man that ticks me off and I'm bringing that to family court with me on Valentine's day... anyway, she got nailed in the bridge of her nose with a basketball and is in so much pain i wanted to make sure she was ok... so all that to find out she has a bruise and will possibly have black eyes in the morning. I am so anxious about having this job confirmed... making me crazy.... can i just scream... so I just ate 2 tbs p-butter and sf ice cream... 400cals but at least had 21g protein. So I had 80g protein today and 900 cals. I'm going to lie down with dd, and hope to fall asleep, i'm still not caught up
