Shrinkin' Violets Part 3 Read HERE!
Kat, couldn't get on earlier so I had no idea all that was going on. I hope all gets more normal for you soon. I am glad they are putting in a pic line, one of the antibiotics they gave me burned the veins, I got it 2x's a day, and the site would get all swollen and red before the 2nd! A couple of nurses were surprised I didn't have one with the meds they had me on. I can tolerate pain a tiny bit more than average, the stick didn't bother me, but what happened after the meds did. Boy that was a rambling thing........ Okay I am now going to bed. Enjoy your flowers Michelle!!! I am with Pamela, flowers usually do it for me!!! Have a good weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!

Haydee, if the tickets are not real expensive, go see it. Laura Bell Bundy who originated the role, was the lead for us because the other girl fell or something. It was cute, and entertaining. Not for men though. They did something in the paper here on that!! Violet karma coming your way Kat for your whole family!!! Take care Tracyk!!! Hey Tracyks what is your surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judy too funny about the straps!!! Legally Blonde was okay and enjoyable. I think I need to join the cast to become skinny!! Oh my gosh they had this jump rope scene with some GREAT looking guys, and then girls started jumping rope and it was so intense and in sync!! Looked like even if I was in shape I couldn't do it!! Okay off to watch the game!!

I hear you Michelle on your last post, but I am the girl who cried wolf, more like screamed on my part. I also hope the commercials are good. Although Kurt Warner did play with the Rams for a long time here, so I am sort of rooting for them. Although they say they don't have a chance, Pittsburg might be to lax about playing and then blow it!! Tom came today with a vengence!! Ouch!! It is getting better though. Drugs gotta love em!! Judy I bet Kris is tired. That was so neat that you went there. I think there is one near Kansas City, they look really neat!! I am not going to church again today, and my mom finally said what do you have against church lately, it is not church it is that I have gained so much that I know people there will talk!! We are going to see the play "Legally Blonde" today, I hope it is good. Well got to go get ready! Hope everyone is having a great day and enjoy the super bowl!!!!!!!!! I will be like Ms. Lois from Romper Room, I see Terry and Pamela and Michelle!!

I remember when I was little that "Frosted Flakes" had a contest where you could win $5 a week for the rest of your life. I thought if I won that, I would be set for life. I remember I would figure out the money everytime I ate, and what I would do with it!! I wonder who won it? Hope everything with Manda and Rick go alright!!

Tracyks, I was expecting to come home and find your surprise?!? Where is everyone for real! Pamela I laughed so hard at some of those redneck things. I guess sometimes I amuse easy, but that had me laughing so hard.

I missed the needle in the tummy. When I got my fill a few weeks ago it was the first time I had it done under floro. She still had a hard time with it, but it really doesn't hurt, took her 1/2 hour to get the needle in, then when she did get the needle in, she had me stand up, with the needle still in my belly, and did a barium swallow. It felt really really odd to stand up with a needle sticking out of my belly!! I hope all is well with everyone!! Violet vibes to Tracyk!!!!!!!

Snow day again here, of course I have no kids or reason to care, but it destroys business when it is bad outside. Hope all is well with everyone!! Tracyks, Sue's son said the shingles didn't really hurt him either, I wonder if it is different when you get it young!? Susie, have strength!!! Tracyk how are you doing???? I hope as good as can be expected with all you have going!! Okay off to work! Bye!!

Tracyks, Sue the girl next to me at work son had shingles. he is 11! That is so odd!! I love white jelly beans!!! About 10 years ago there was this place that sold Marshmallow sticks, yummmmm!! Now keep in mind I am allergic to nuts, so this was like a big kit kat and had caramel, then marshmallow on top and the whole thing was coated in chocolate!!! YUM They went out of business, which is probably a good thing. All right I am done in today, going to bed and hoping all has a wonderful night with lots of good dreams!!!

Believe it or not I have never had one of the cadbury eggs. I always assumed they were like the ones that had stuff that gooed out. Maybe I should stay away!!! I am trying to low carb for the next week. I have been beyond words bad. I can't believe I have gained as much as I have. It seems impossible. I am with Suzanne I need to remember why I got the band. But really deep inside I thought it was the 'answer'. Now I know it is just a helper. I need to help too!! Terry, you are such a help with my "shelves"! The snow really didn't turn out bad. We are supposed to get some more this afternoon, but it really is nothing. I am glad because last week was a horrible work week!!! Have a good one!!!!!!!!! Tracyk violet vibes for your move and your neck/shoulder!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay instead of a shelf, I cleaned off a chair. Believe it or not my closets are pretty clean. It is the piles I have made that are making me nuts!!! Michelle, I am glad that antibiotics can take care of this!! Scarrryy for you and dd. Tracyk, hope they can make it feel better!!! Snow watch here, we are supposed to get 4-8 inches then ice. We will see if that really happens. They are so bad at predicting things here!! I think it is bypassing kc so Suzie and Tracyks should be okay. Hi, Haydee, Pam, Judy, Gina, Denise, Kat, Laura, Jen,and everyone else I have misplaced in my mind!!

Laura, that lamp is so cute!!! You are sooo creative! That is the wallpaper border?!?! Amazing!! You could sell those! Cuter than the original!!!!!! I am watching Extreme Terror Rides on the Travel Channel. I love roller coasters!! I can't do them anymore because of brain surgery issues, but I have always loved thrill rides. They are talking about bungee jumping right now, has anyone here Bungee jumped? I think that would be soooo fun!!!!!! I woke up this morning to snow!!! There was no talk of it, but here it is!! So pretty!! I am sure Judy is over it, but we really haven't had any. Tracyks and Suzie, I feel another road trip to K.C.!!!! When are you free??? Terry love the pic you posted of the dog. That is such a weird decision to put an animal down. Hope your dreams are getting better. Maybe think of your Mom in a garden or beautiful flowers and butterflies and force your dreams to get better. I very seldom ever remember my dreams, so it is easy for me to say!! Pam, that is sooo cool about your appointment!!! What exactly is your new title, and what do you want to do with it in 20 years? Hi, Kat, I am going to work on my budget today!! Wish me luck!! Are you having a good weekend Mae, Haydee, Michelle, MO, Jennifer, Gina, Denise, Carson, and Ayla!! TracyK, I want to come help you pack!!! I think having to move is one of those necessary evils in life!!! If we could get all the violets together to help you would be done in a snap. Actually, probably not, we are probably better at drinking and talking and laughing, and eating and........not working!!! Hugs and special thoughts to help you!!!!
