Judy, I don't get tired of your hot tub, I live vicariously through all the violets!!!! I just found out tonight that the cards and my ss gift I sent out last Monday, one of the cards was just delivered to my Aunt today, and that was here in St. Louis, did anyone else get a card?? I hope that it is not lost, plus my ss gift might be late!!!! I am really upset about this, I also sent my Dr. a gift that same time!! So if you got a card someone let me know, so I can just assume that my aunts was just late. Jane

The Toll House monster grabbed me, and just released me!!! I kept saying 199, but the monster kept laughing and force feeding me cookies!! My nephew came over and we got a lot accomplished!!! He is such a good kid!! He has some surgery tomorrow nothing too serious, his legs are bothering him when running long distances, so after many Dr.s telling him it was shin splints it is something called Extertional compartmental syndrome or something like that, anyways he has to have it on both legs, long incisions from his knees to his ankles, but they don't have to go to deep with the surgery, just above the muscles. Have good thoughts for him tomorrow!! My nose is running again! Driving me crazy!! I don't feel sick at all, just a runny nose. Well here is to a good nights sleep for all of us!! Jane

I got more cards today and the one Gina sent had a purple hat on the Snowman!!!!!! CUTE!!!!!! Only one cancellation over the weekend, so I was happy!! Well off I go to clean!!! (Does anyone believe that???) Jane

Michelle and Judy, we could have had a chat fest, for some reason I couldn't sleep last night either!! That is very seldom my problem!! Off to the Post Office to mail my Parents ornaments, then the dentist, the dermatoligist, then my nephew is coming over to help his Aunt Jane do some things at home. He turned 19 Saturday!!!! I remember seeing him a minute after he was born..... Actually he doesn't call me Aunt Jane, he just calls me Jane, the only people who call me Aunt are my friends kids. Off to start a new day!!! Enjoy!!! Welcome back Laura and have a safe trip Judy!!! Jane

Wow!! I just sold some ornaments for my mom and dad on Ebay and they sold for $224.00. They were for 8 lenox ornaments that didn't have the box. Amazing what people will pay! Have a great day everyone!! Jane

Tracy, the eye rolling would send me over the edge also!!! But I have to admit I am an eye roller myself! Yikes!! Denise, that was a wonderful picture of you and your husband!! Is that a painting they have you standing in front of? Judy, way cheap on the tickets!!! That is WONDERFUL!!! It is go great to find specials like that, especially this time of the year!! TracyK I will be thinking of you over the next couple weeks!! I moved once on the 23rd of December, that was fun!! (NOT)! Everyone have a great day, I wish I was able to post pictures but when I got up this morning I over look some trees and a little creek and then some more condos, what a view with the snow!!! Incredibly beautiful!!!! By the time I will get out it will all be cleared, I am sure my area is cleared now, it is so nice having a condo fee to pay and they do it pronto!! Jane

It is snowing here now, I think they are saying an additional 6 - 9 inches. Wonder if I will go to church in am? Had an interesting few days, glad it is over. I think I am going to bed now, everyone have a great safe day tomorrow!!! Jane

Well here in St. louis we got the snow, I woke up to about 3 -4 inches (?) and then tonight they are expecting the same. I don't mind really, I live close to work so it is no big deal for me, I just hate what it might do to my clients today. I hope they don't cancel. Not only could I use the money, there is also only one Saturday after today before Christmas, hard to fit people in!!! Well I better get ready to go. Have a nice day!!! Jane

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!! Wow Judy, that was GREAT!!! I really enjoyed that!!! Thanks! Terry Great necklace, Jenn WEAR IT!!!!!! Michelle when will your son hear about the olympic thingy? My nose is not running non stop today I am so thrilled, maybe I can get through at least part of my haircuts without having to blow my nose and wash my hands. Supposed to go cut that persons hair with ALS tonight, think I might call and postpone it a couple days just in case I am contagious? Well off to start my day!! Jane

I love my band also!! Tracyks and laura you both look great!!!!!!! Tracy I burp/hiccup strange noises after I eat now. Can't help it, I sort of sound like I have been drinking. My nose is running again!!!!!!!! So frustrating!!!!!! I look like I have been hit by a truck on one side of my face, I think I must have a sinus infection, but my snot is clear! Should I call the Dr.?? Jane

goodmorning!!! I have been sooo unmotivated this week I feel like a lump! I haven't eaten really wrong because I am tooo lazy to go to the store!!! I need some motivation!!! My dear sweet nephew who is 19 on Saturday is going to come over Sunday or Monday to help me do some things, so that should help. Once again I am rambling.... Remember today is CTC day!! Sending you positive thoughts Jennifer and Terry!! Hello to both Tracy's, Denise, Judy, Pam, Haydee, Kat, Gina, Suzie, and I know I am forgetting somebody, I am not good in a.m. so hello to them also Jane

Good evening!! I hope everyone has a good night, Hugs and prayers for Jennifer and Terry and Michelles son! I love that Dem/Rep Holiday joke. I found out yesterday one of my customers/friends has breast cancer, she is in her 30's and I am still stunned. I know that breast cancer really hits alot of people. Hers was just a routine mammogram, so don't ever miss them. Have a good one!! Jane

Meant to send good thoughts to Terry and Jennifer!!!

Yay Laura!! Going down sizes is great!!!! I can go into a plus size store now and know everything is going to fit!! I usually try on now, but usually size 2x fits, but the occasional 1x and sometimes depressing as it seems a 3x. but I haven't really found any tops that don't fit at all. That is a plus. It is weird how sizes differ so much even within the same brand. Almost all C. J. Banks tops I wear a size 2x, some though is still a 3x, and I bought two Karen Scott tops the other day and one was a 1x and the other a 2x. But I figure the 1x gives me hope, and the 3x just frustrates the heck out of me!! Have a good day!! Jane

Extra special hugs for Jenn and Terry!!!!! Tracy you only have 22 pounds to lose, that is great!!!!! Well everyone try to have a nice night!!

Hot tub would be nice. I am going to bed early and hopefully wake up fairly refreshed. I have an early meeting then a long day ahead, these last two weeks before Christmas are HECTIC! I can only imagine now what that Saturday before Christmas will be like! Did I mention that my house is a huge humongeous mess? It has only gotten worse over the past two weeks, don't know why. So hopefully between meeting and work I can clean a bit. Have a good one and enjoy!! Jane

I got my Secret Santa Gift!!!!!! I was laying in bed trying to nap, and was mad so I got up, about 2 minutes later UPS comes and delivers me a box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the prettiest snow globe you have ever seen!!!!! I has got a fiber optic light and changes colors while the snow falls!!!! And yes, one of the colors is VIOLET!!!!! It really is mesmerizing to watch!! I also got something that every violet should get, it is such a beautiful thing, that I never really thought about before Judy sent it to me. It is the words "BELIEVE". I am going to hang it up in my room to always remember what this site, season, and good friends mean!!! I am never taking it down. THANKS JUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes me not even feel tired!!!

I wish we still had Wendys in St. Louis!!

Well I am back. Had a very very sleepless night at my sleep study!! They kept waking me up and telling me to sleep on my back. I tried, but I guess when I fell asleep I went on my tummy/side. So they said that if I want to sleep on my back I need to come back because they couldn't get it right. I told them that I don't sleep on my back and this would be just fine. They did say I kicked over 40 times an hour and I have to get my B-12 and iron checked, gave me a script for a blood draw, but they don't do it there. Frustrating! I like the one stop shopping deal, I did try to go someplace and they said the script wasn't valid that when they tried to copy it it was invalid. I am going to take a nap, and worry about that later!!! Thanks, Jane

Well I am off for a night of people watching me try to sleep! have a good night!! I am going to miss One More Day, but I am going to tape it. I bet it is sooo good!! Love a good tearjerker!! Jane

I JUST UPDATED MY TICKER AND HAVE LESS THAN 100 POUNDS TO LOSE!!!!!!!!! THAT IS GREAT MOTIVATION FOR ME!!!!! i AM GLAD I LOOKED!!!! A VERY HAPPY JANE question, can you make chocolate chip cookies with egg beater instead of eggs??

Well I normally step on the scale on Mondays but I have that sleep study tonight and then a vaginal ultrasound after that, and then some shopping so I won't be home till way after I eat so I stepped on the scale today. WOW is all I can say! I was 239!!!! I have been struggling to get under 240 for a few weeks!!! Now, today I am going to do all the things I was supposed to do yesterday! No excuses!!! Have a great day!!!! Jane

Kat we must have been posting at the same time. Rick and his buddies are in my prayers for the safe return. I am getting ready to watch that movie at 8:00 (central) on lifetime. I hope you have an almost worry free night!! Jane

Judy I hope you feel better soon!!! You seem to have a lot on your plate and I am sure being sick is not on the menu!! Kat, once again jealousy strikes!!! Congrats on the wrapping! I had my fill thursday, and I really don't notice a huge difference with eating except my hunger is less. I like that a lot!!! I told myself that I wouldn't be on the computer tonight, but here I am. I did wrap my ss gift! I shrinkwrapped it!!! I LOVE SHRINKWRAP!!! It looks so pretty now, I hope that it fairs well in the mail! So whoever is my SS if it is a mess when you get it, remember how pretty I said it was before I sent it!!! One year I think all my presents were shrinkwrapped. You can get so creative!!! People still joke about standing still around Christmastime because Jane might shrinkwrap you! Okay okay off I go to do stuff I NEED TO DO BUT DON'T WANT TOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Jane

Terry, you seem there! You can really tell how much weight you have lost and hopefully you can see the light and need sunglasses!! YOU LOOK GREAT!!!! Judy, hope you feel better!!!!!!! Michelle, isn't it fun to have a nothing kind of day!!!! Enjoy!!! Tracy I hope you daughter isn't coming down with something. I hope you can enjoy the weekend!!! When I saw my Dr. Thursday she said just try not to gain any weight this month. That would thrill her. So I guess in a way she was telling me an occasional treat during the holidays was fine, just don't go overboard. Well need to hop in the shower and get ready for work, today will be busy like yesterday!!! Jane
