I have a great cleaning woman. She just charges $50 every other week, but my place is under 900 square feet. But, on the other hand I am cluttery. Not dirty, but just stuff everywhere that she has to pick up. I always give her more. I always leave money laying around, whether it be dollars or change and she always puts it together. She is great and super nice!! Jenn you are NOT A HORRIBLE PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, I am not really sick, just a runny nose. Allergies and yesterday no motivation!!! Am watching Dancing with the Stars. I love that show, missed it last week, being in KC, wake, and then work. Sorry that Ted McGinley left before I even saw him. Nothing more to say, have a good night!!!!!!!!!! REMEMBER JENN WE LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haydee, didn't I say in Texas that I would straighten your hair? I think so. Just add that to the agenda! Isn't it a lovely lovely stock day! Now it looks like I can retire when I am 87 instead of 80! Oh well.......

Denise, toooo cute!!!!!!!!!! Puts me in baby mode. Laura, good luck today!!! TracyK too funny about the 'good news'!! My mom had diarrea (sp) the other day and was complaining about it, I told her to just eat another peice of cake!? I can't imagine what the three of you Houston girls went through with the storm. I wish I could come down there and help you all!! Especially Haydee, I could do all the things that you weren't able to do w/o electricty. Vacuum, catch up on laundry, have light to see the dirt to mop etc.... Then I would go buy a winning lottery ticket for Tracyk, and help her restock her fridge, pay off cc bills from hotels etc... Then I would go over to Terrys and give her a great big hug!! Hi Tracyks, Suzie, Kat, Gina, Michelle, Jenn, I am fprgetting someone oh my gosh, I can't think, I am sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quiet here. Nursing a cold, not bad, just ugh. You know I have been thinking a lot lately about how much I haven't lost. But, the truth is, I have lost a lot of weight. No, I am not at my goal, I still have a lot to lose. But, even if I don't ever lose another pound, I still have lost a lot of weight. I don't think I could have done this without the band. Plus I know that I wouldn't have met all you! So instead of beating ourselves up over not losing, til the end of the month lets be overjoyed by the amount we have lost!!!! Plus we need to update the spreadsheet that Tracyks set up for us!! For me I could look at it as depressing that I have actually gained weight since I last recorded, but I have lost overall!!!!! So here is to us!!!!!!!!!!!! :teeth_smile::thumbup::wink_smile:WAY TO GO VIOLETS:biggrin::thumbup::redface:

That is soo neat about the PS!!! I am sooo happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow Haydee it is hard to believe that you went over two weeks without electricity!!! Did it take a while for your house to cool off? Laura I hope you find the relief that you need soon!! Busy day at work, yesterday was real busy, and somebody erased somebody and put somebody else in! Luckily I caught it, because it was part of a family. I am sure it was a accident, but it could have been a major one if I hadn't noticed it. Well off to the showers and work!!

I am back, got home about 6:30, then left at 7:00 for the wake. It is incredible that he is gone. I am not going to the funeral tomorrow, working instead. I am glad I got home tonight in time for the wake. I had a great time getting away this weekend. I wish I could do it more often. Maybe I can take trips over the next few years to see the other violets and exploring!!! I did buy two pair of shoes at a mall in Warrenton, Odessa had Shoe Carnival and I have one by me that I have tried. I am going to wear my old tennis shoes for the next couple of days though. Well going to do laundry, and love the chart thingy Laura!!!

Tracyks, I heard a report that the food police were going down south in full force to the stressed out hurricane people to help them. We are safe!!! I have not had any sweets for the month of September. I am allowing myself 3, I think I will have two in KC and one the end of this month. I hope you are taking care of yourself Kat!!! Maybe they should do a picc line! Well I need to hop in the shower and get to work!! Jane

Well just got home and forgot to tape bb. I saw the last 2 minutes so I do know who won. Had my sleep study last night, and am so sleepy today. Instead of kicking my legs 40 times an hour, he said I did it 80 times an hour. He said it is getting much worse and I need to get a transfusion of iron!! From a hemotologist. I told him I would have to think about it. Crazy huh! If I didn't know I had it is it really bothering me? I say no. He said I don't know it is bothering me til it is not bothering me. I am def. going to research this on the computer. He also gave me a scrip for this requip stuff and he said one of the side effects is hallucinations and this "Impulse control symptoms, including pathological gambling and hypersexuality, have been reported" I had to get it from website!! Bet you guys are impressed that I could cut and paste!! Anyways, hang in there Kat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs to all Texas vi's!! Special hug to Tracyks!!!!!!!!!!
