Shrinking Violets - Part 5!
Suzy that is so great about Gia, I like her name, it is pretty. Good luck!! Well this morning like every other morning I have a smoothie for breakfast that the Dr.told me to put two scoops of this powder in. I was thinking it sure tasted different, just tasted like the mango. Well I finished it, and went to wash the glass and realized that instead of two scoops of the powder I put in two scoops of Miralax!!!! OOOOPPPSSSSSS. Oh well hopefully I will not have too many problems from that..... I hope all is well with you Judy!!! Have a great day and a good weekend!!!!!!

Pam, that is great about the house!! Have you gotten anyone to rent the house you are currently living in? I swear if I wasn't allergic to dogs I would move out there!! When I went to pick up my car, they told me my donut tire had a big split in it and couldn't fix it, they also said they couldn't find another one? I came to work and called Hyundai and they said they couldn't get one!! Why would you put something in a car you can't replace? So they said I would need to buy a rim and then have a tire put on it for my spare. We are talking at least $200 for a spare! So I called back the place that originally had my car and asked them to see if maybe a donut could be found in a junk yard car. I mean my car is 10 years old, but it is an elantra, and they still make those. They called me back later and found one for $75. So much for having $50 left from car repairs, now I get to add to it!! YUCK! Michelle I bet the shawl is beautiful, hope you can post a pic. Pam, thanks for saying I am a good driver!! I think that is funny, I know I am not a great driver, you should see all the dents and scrapes on my car. I think Judy and Michelle are the only ones that have driven with me. I did have a VERY good defense driving maneuver with them in the car that makes up for the hill. Isn't that right Michelle???? Haydee all I can say is thanks!!!!!!!!!

Suzy, good for you, I would have also made a stop at the local pharmacy for some valium!!!! Yesterday was an odd day. I did have two flat tires, I went to the Dr.s office and he was running late, I was getting panicked because I didn't have time to get to work, was going to fast and hit a curb and got a flat tire. (so much for work!) Called roadside assistance, they came got my tire changed with my spare. I called Charlie, said I was on my way. About two miles down the road on the highway I have a problem, but I am too scared to get out of my car, by this time rush hour has hit, and cars are speeding past me. So I call and say I don't know what the problem is, they send a tow truck, and sure enough, my spare is flat!!!!!! I will tell you about Dr. later. I hope everyone has a better day!! I just got a call from the shop and my car is done and passed inspection except for a tail light! With the new tires, light and inspection it is 150!! Hurray!!! I budgeted 200 for just the problems that might come from the inspection!! I am so glad!!! Have a great day!!!

Okay today is a new day!! Wasn't their a famous couple that just in the past year or so donated their kidney to their spouse? Judy probably knows!!!!! It is so touching that it works like that. You know for sure about your soul mate being yours!! Sadness abounds! I am saying a special prayer for everyone when I finish. Hang tough girls and ditto for what Judy said about eating!! I got a notice yesterday from my insurance company that I owe them $227 from an error THEY made two years ago. I tried calling and of course I got a recording to leave a message. My gosh that was one of the things that got me going yesterday. I will tackle that one today, maybe when I say my prayer I will put b/c/b/s in their, so I don't lose my mind with them. Okay, enough about me, I hope all with heavy hearts find something to lighten today!!!

Michelle, I go to the Dr. Wednesday, he is the new Dr that is helping with my weight. I actually think I am going to have to get an unfill I am sort of excited to see him and hope I have lost a bunch. I know I have lost some.

Good morning!! Judy, they say the last few pounds are hard to come by, so think of that as you lose or stay the same. You really have done great, and even though the scale may not show it, you know it is true and WE know it is true, after all I have a bracelet to prove that!!!!!!! Pluto is not a planet anymore? I need to go back to school!!!!

I would love a Keurig, but am wayyy to cheap!!! But I love going over to my Aunts and spinning the wheel to see what kind of coffee I want! I guess I entertain pretty easy!!! I think I need to see a Dr. about my nose. I have something very odd going on in my left sinus? I have a bunch to do tomorrow, and going to the doctor is not on my list!! Didn't really do much today, just a little cleaning. I am watching Undercover Boss and am taping the Olympics. this undercover boss thing is kind of funny.

You know sometimes food can talk SO LOUD!!!!!!!!!!! Good for you ignoring the chatter!! Judy loved the pics on facebook, is Nathan as tall as he looks? Had an interesting week, now looking forward to a fairly relaxing two days off, if I get that job those two days off may be a thing of the past!!

Okay, I am alive and the squash wasn't bad. I boiled a few chunks, then sprayed fake butter, and sprinkled with salt and pepper. I am also drinking with my meals. It is the only way I can eat that much food!! Gonna get an unfill soon I think.........I am also supposed to drink 110 ounces of water a day!! Holy cow, I am a big water drinker, but that is something else!! He also told me no coffee! I said what???? He said okay you can have coffee, but for every cup of coffee you have, you have to drink that much more water. I applied today for a part time job at Sally's. I just can't make it without more money. My health insurance is costing me more than my house payment! Then I look at what people are paying for their haircuts and such and think I am way too cheap. I am going up next month, but I can never catch up, plus I can't charge that price working where I am. The place is really in disrepair. Okay for most people tomorrow is the end of the week! Make it a good one!

Pamela, loved the walmart joke!! Or maybe it wasn't a joke?! I am going to see what the internet says about butternut squash. Cut up in chunks it looks like cantaloupe. Guess I have never spelled cantaloupe before, saw it was wrong, but didn't know why? I didn't know it was a oupe. Laura, Laura, Laura, Carson is getting cuter and cuter!!!!!!! Oh my gosh that dog one is precious!!!

I wanted to ask, what do I do with butternut squash. I am supposed to eat some everyday. Bought some cubed at the store, do you eat it raw? Cook it?

That is sooo great Pam!!!!!!!!!! I am not sure what I would do Michelle. Ask your kids and see what they say! I am pooped!! It hasn't been busy at work. Why am I pooped? I went grocery shopping tonight, and came home in the freezing cold and walked up 3 flights of stairs with groceries!!!!!!!! Why oh why do I live on the third floor!!

Judy, I meant to tell you last night, I was reading People, and just happened to see "Making Toast", and started laughing. I tried to explain, but it wasn't nearly as funny as in my mind!!! Salmon patties? I like the idea that they are introducing different kind of foods though! Haydee I watched American Idol last night, and wasn't really impressed with anyone. I like it when they get down to 12. Okay did anyone else besides me cry uncontrollably when the girl who lost her mother on Sunday skated? Oh my gosh!!!! I am thinking I am too pms or something.... Pam, when do you officially move? Okay off to work!!!!!!!
