Great idea, this thread! That pics is too funny!!!!!!! Ok, uploading mine now, will post the album momentarily. PAM (ahem) or anyone else who doesn't know how to put their pictures up to share, PM me.. I'll make a generic how-to list.- Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Allergic to moi? Sure it wasn't the coke?! I braved the scale last night after I unpacked. 226lb. Where that may look like I didn't move (which would still be exciting), I had bounced back to 230lb last week, slowly moved back to 228lb, and so hitting back at 226lb makes me content. Glad I skipped the pina coladas on the riverwalk, sounds like it made a doozy!! I am surprised the chunk of fudge I had yesterday didn't send me up at least 1lb. I am finally caught up with all customers but 1.. and I just gotta find his phone number.. whew. Next stop classes. I am so tired, I want to hybernate for a while!!- Gruene Violets
I am like a zombie, soo tired.. and woke up throughout the night with diarhea!! Guess I should have passed on all the fudge I ate on the way to Houston!! I have to catch up with customers & check in on my classes, then I will get my pics uploaded for ya'll. Jane's are on my laptop at home, so I will get hers up tonight. I had SO MUCH FUN, and I can't wait for our cruise next year :thumbup:- Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Congratulations Denise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW SWEET!!! Granny? Grammy? Gma? Nana?!- Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Hey Suzie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TracyK & I say HELLO!!!! Wish you were here, we'll be back to posting tomorrow night!- Gruene Violets
Dunno if any of you are on, if you are.. call me! I'm in the airport smokin lounge.. 5 minutes to get up here.. I love our airport lol. Got me a mocha and connected to the internet, so just chillin.. hour to go. 2.5 hours till I see V's!!!!- I have officially started my journey! Huntsville, AL
Good luck :biggrin:) I am in H'ville and interviewed with Dr. Facundus and did not like him so ended up going somewhere else. If you find a support group in the area for banders (and not RnY) let me know!- Gruene Violets
Hey wait a sec.. just looked again at travel document.. It's a 4 hour drive to the airport on Monday?! And how far from the airport tomorrow? /anxious smoker... So, I just mapquested and I'm confused. Why did some of us go into IAH if SAT is 3.5 hours closer? I must have missed this conversation!- Gruene Violets
Clock's a tickin!! Judy that song was 'our song' for me and my freshman in high school boyfriend.. teehee. 20 minutes till I go home to run around like a mad lady. I debated taking a nap and getting up at midnight and staying up.. so I don't accidentally oversleep. Then I thought, my luck is I would CRASH and burn by mid day tomorrow and be a buzz kill.- Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Safe travels Kat!! The roads around ABQ are a headache regardless, we use to live off of 40 near Route 66 Casino and they were FOREVER doing construction on the interstate, and every single parallel road in the city to get out there. So we spent hours in traffic when we lived 10 minutes from work. SEE YOU TOMORROW :biggrin:)- Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Really! I figured it was the other way around in my head. Funny how that works!!- Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
LOL! Michelle sounded just like I figured. I can hear her yelling at her kids or being sweet and polite at a PTA meeting. Very articulate!! She mentioned Tracy had a really southern accent. The only V numbers I don't have in my phone are the Tracy's. I am horrible at remember who is who (in any situation, not just this one). I will forever remember you are both Tracy, but for the life of me I will probably never remember your last names now.Tracy K. is not TracyinKS right? But one of you have 2 last names, and my head ESPLODES. So I'll be surprised by which one of you have the big southern drawl!- Gruene Violets
:biggrin: At least you'll be able to identify it in the overhead compartment? Oh and work today decided to set my work phone to auto-transfer to my cell phone while I'm gone. Since we have so many people out right now, it's too chaotic for someone to keep up with my voicemails. Fridays are normally a slow day, and Monday isn't too bad.. so hopefully it won't be driving me nuts.- Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
DH e-mailed me that, woohoo! So does this mean you will marry Suzanne??? I don't think I have an accent.. my dad is from California and my mom is from the Carolinas, their blended accent kind of muted each other.- How the surgery is done?
I was, and I was completely nude, so I akwardly asked the nurse.. should I put in a tampon, what could I do with a pad..etc. She said "Don't worry about it". They did put the compression stockings on my legs, I had an untied gown.. and when I woke up, they had put a bunch of towels under me for TOM and they gave me some pads the size of my head to put in my underwear lol. You really won't care about the nudity, and your body isn't special compared to anyone elses they've seen! It's not like the gyno, where they try to have a conversation with you while digging around in the nono places.- TMI - Preop enema required?
My doctor required the drinkable enemas. (Magnesium Citrate) the night before the surgery. I assume since I had been on a liquid diet, not much action happened from it.- Gruene Violets
Everyone is so ahead of me!! I have 4 more hours till I get home.. then clean, laundry, pack, shower.. and have to get to bed early so I can be up at 4am.. and then have to wake DH up at 4am.. ugh that's gonna suck!!- Gruene Violets
I'll be wearing Jeans..... and probably a brown shirt...and brown flip flops. I'll be carrying a big suede looking tan messenger bag with fuzzy cream colored balls hanging off of it. Although I am pretty confident I'd recognize you ladies (except Jane!!) because of the pics on here all the time..- Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Excitement never ends!! When a customer service girl is out, it's horrible.. because each girl has a huge load, so when one is out, it has to be redistributed to the other girls who already have a huge load!! But, one of our CSR girls had cancer a while back, found out recently it's back.. so she had to have major invasive open surgery to remove a lot of stuff last week.. she's going to be out for months. So all her accounts were redistributed and everyone is dealing.. our CSR assistant got thrown into being a new CSR (bad bad idea).. she's not very good, but they can't go backward. They all know it was bad idea to begin with, but I've already had my small customers they gave to her calling me going 'ARE YOU ABOVE (So and So)?!'.. they are really annoyed by her. So there's all that.. then one of our good CSR's put in a resignation today... she is getting divorced and moving back home to Florida. ARGH!! She's my age, she just got married about 4 months ago. Very out of the blue. Now we're going to be 2 CSR's short, and 1 not good CSR. Margies tomorrow night?!- Gruene Violets
DH is doing 'the deed' ..mind out of the gutter... my cat.. for me tomorrow.. gotta be nice.- Gruene Violets
WOOHOOO!! 1 more day!! I have not done laundry or started packing yet. I went to get river shoes at Target, they had a SMALL selection, I ended up with those black & dark blue men's swimmers. They are so fugly, I must keep my feet in water at all time. DH is having his brothers come down for the weekend, so I gotta clean tonight too.. But... this time tomorrow morning I will be landing in terminal B moseying over to terminal C!- Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
I'll go with that, makes me feel better :thumbup:- Gruene Violets
If it were just carpet I would be less stressed (well maybe, I still hate that too).. it's the couch, the pillows, our dvd player, every wire on the floor, rugs, laundry basket, clothing, kitchen chairs, etc. She goes just wherever she wants. - Gruene Picture Thread
