Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
that is very cool Tracyks. I have so much skin already... I would like to chat with a ps just to get information and know about cost and such, and when I should do it. If I lost weight from that skin being gone, I would be very happy with myself right now Where the heck is Laura? I thought she would be back by now?

NEW! 2008 Shrinkin' Vi's Trip Planning Thread!!
Yes, Huston I'm just trying to get my options together as far as flights. who knows mabey i'll get my self excited to fly out of albany and meet michelle in Baltimore - that is where all the connecting flights are. Newark NJ has flights on Continental Express direct to San Antonio for $318 which might work too (direct flights) I really want a direct flight so I don't know, the only thing I do know at this point is I will be there!!!

I am in... as a final... and rooming with Tracyks... so will i need to call with my credit card to reserve our room? It looked like they would reserve with a card or a check for 50% of cost. Just let me know and I'll take care of ours! OMG I can't beleive I'm even thinking about this but cost would be a HUGE HUGE DIFFERENCE Could I take a cab to someone's house at 11:30pm? They have chaper flights that late. I could leave out of albany and have a stop in Baltimore... I don't know if I could deal with that but just a thought. Nonstop from Baltimore would only be $89 each way... I guess my sanity is most important. LOL

Terry - I saw on the site that rooms can be reserved on a card... it probably should be reserved soon so they don't sell out? The site said card won't be charged until time of check in but there is a $25 cancellation fee. I'm commited so let me know who to contact to reserve mine and Tracyks' room. Do we have reservations in SA yet for Sunday night?

I painted my Bathroom a couple weeks ago and have a new shower curtin and rod so I'm going to attempt to hang them today so I can get my bathroom put together. I turned a small office upstairs into a bathroom with a shower so when I demo'd my downstairs I took the shower head off and put in a deeper tub with jets so I took down the shower curtin rod because it was ugly. Judy - I walk home from my neighbors hot tub in the winter.. frozen hair is funny

shoot... that is almost worst... maybe i should suck it up and go to the obgyn. I have had cyst but usually more towards the middle and i guess it is the same type of pain. They told me if i got another one they were going to take my parts. I don't have a job where I can get paid if I was home for 6 weeks. DS is better today - i found him sleeping on his floor last night... it is freezing and he is on a cold floor... what a wack

Tracy - You hit the nail on the head. I have been trying so hard to do that but I've been able to eat since November. Like I told my PA last month, I need to use my tool so give me a fill! Tomorrow is my appt, but I need need to get back in the game. I hate this time of year because when it is 10degrees outside I don't want to move and I'm tired of being in the house. I need a real job so I stop picking I have not been loosing much since I've been there full time. love ya'll

OK gals, I'm going to wait to book. SW has specials that have to be booked by today but travel no later than 5/8 so I' mgoing to wait until they release the next set of specials that are in our travel dates. it would only be $200 +fees vs $350 regular price so i'm going to hold out. Michelle, you didn't book yet did you?

Terry you are funny just waking up I like sleeping in on Monday's ! Tracyk- how i Macy? So I have this horrible pain in my lower left side. on and off for a couple weeks but gettin much worse. I'm afraid it might be my gall bladder...I don't want to mention it to my surgeon but when should i call my dr. or should I just chill and see if it goes away? Maybe it is because I have so much sagging and my parts are moving around and they need to medically do a tt (LOL) I need coffee... i'm silly

So... I will have a 6hr drive to the airport and then back home, but worth it to me so I can have a direct flight. I am so happy, I got 2 new cell phones back in November, I mailed in $50 rebates on each phone so I was expecting $100. I got a post card 2 weeks agoin saying I didn't provide a valid phone number and have not had time to deal, I just got an email they processed my rebate and I will be receiving my $250 check within the next 30 days... HOLY CRAP.. Hotel money...

OMG my dd just pushed my buttons more than ever. she just talked back to me and she never ever does that... she is going to be grounded by tomorrow, I can feel it. I don't know who she thinks she is... but i just reminded her. She has been talking lots to my step sisters dd and she is a smart ass punk... i will end that if that is where she gets this new found attitude from. Breathe... Anyway, I am looking at $1000 too, which I really don't have... but i am not going to really let anyone know this... because they will freak since I'm working a shit job, which is another reason I need a real job before we go. Judy - we need you i'm going to bed - i am totally exhausted and now pissed off

So... went to go see that band... they were good, good singer but changed ... they were twangy... and sounded old country with new songs... singer was great. We need a good country bar around here... If I could I would open one myself. LOL I am wacked. I love alternative rock but love counry too... but i think in gerneral the country side is where I really grounded. I love my rock friends but I just not where they are anymore ... my country friends are where I am 99% of the time. anyway... blah blah blah. I don't want to work today. Glad i'm off the next 2

Tracyk glad Macy's fever went down a little and she is drinking that is what is impt. My ds just came down and told me his throat hurts. SHIT! We can't be sick..... He gets croup and that is it, he has never had an ear infection or a general cold but 1 time so this is not going to be good. Started motrin and lots of juice. We are all just getting up so i'm drinking my coffee

lol 2:42 and i'm just walking in shutting down. I got a ride from my bff's sister who picked us up and took us to breakfast. Funny thing is... my neighbor was there and was leaving the same time we were to get breakfast... well she was just getting to our street as we pulled in and she didn't know who we were so she hid behind the car in front of my house, we scared the crap out of her and she did the same thing to me. no hot guys but had a chick all over my tattoo, never had that happen before either so I'll take it... love ya'll... going to pass out and get warm, it's freezing here

OMG Denise I give you so much credit... I hated being in hospital seeing all those poor sick babies... not to mention my own. I just don't freak out anymore, I'm much calmer. I'm hanging waiting for my friend to pick me up. I will walk home later but it is only going to be 13 tomorrow so I know I am not going to want to walk down to get my car. My step brother's fiance just got out of jail 6 months ago, she was working a wedding(they have dj business and limo's) and she had "1" beer and hit a 17 year old (of course one of my long time friends nephew) and killed him. It was horrible being on both sides of that situation but I won't even have a sniff of a cap and drive. I have had a glass of wine at work and hitched a ride home. Too cold for walking

Pam this is really just the old me coming back... with a vengence. I was never this bold but just done. I cashed in $28 in change. 3 drinks and a cover charge. LOL I just need to get out there is all. TracyK- are you alternating motrin and tylenol? every 2 hrs motrin... 2 hrs tylenol... and so on... it will help... my dr told me to do that when ds had a high fever. ds had coxsocki virus which is flu/strep combined with horrible blisters so he wouldn't drink. they told me 1 medicine dropper of liquid every hour was enough to keep him hydrated - we almost were hospilized... make sure she drinks enough... poor thing well... going to straighten my hair
