Evveryone bow your heads & close your eyes for a word of prayer...DH just went on a job interview. THIS is the one I want him to get!! Haydee-I wish I could work from home sometimes! I have the capability (and the program) to do it from home but it is one of those "if we let you then we will have to let everyone" type deals....UGH

Nope, my LBT confession sidetracked me. Glad I made YOU feel better :sad::tt2:

You should have called....I have not checked the mail in forever...I guess I need to do that before I go to work! I have not heard anything though. As long as I get the money I will be a happy camper

JUDY_I love how you have your last 10 pounds on a ticker...would you mind if I did that too? Don't wanna be branded the "idea stealer". :sad:

Kat-I am so relieved that they are OK!! Wow, I was so worried when I moved dd from a car seat to a booster seat for that exact reason. What a rollercoaster ride of emotions you must have been through! Haydee-thank you! I got my cracklins today! DH LOVES THEM!! I love them too but I only had one cause I normally like to eat mine with pimento cheese...!!! Wow, so much to say, such a short memory!

Good morning everyone, Lunasa-good to hear that you are back on track. Congrats on the no-smoking. I also quit on March 15th so I know how difficult it is. Everyone has a difference in opinion on what too tight is. I was going through what you are and I went and got a tiny unfill cause I did not wanna live on oatmeal & slimfast. It is a personal choice. Best of luck to you. Have a great day everyone...

Suzie-I will let you be the one who tries out the hot sauce on the fingers thing. Let us know if it works!! lol Judy-welcome home. Glad you had a good weekend but also sorry to hear about your cat. So sad! I feel your pain. Have a great night everyone and I will check in with you all in the morning before work. Sweet dreams!

OK...lol In my defense, I quit smoking on March 15th and have gained some but am losing what I gained...so is that considered a stall?

Hi everyone...this is like going to my first AA meeting! lol hi, my name is Tracy and I am at a plateau

The 2 animals she just HAD to see were the cheetahs and the bats?! Anyway, she cheetah'd me to death and when we got there...they had the cheetahs put away cause the people there were cutting grass and doing maintenance in & around their cage. But at least she got to see the bats. I love the giraffes too...when she saw how huge they are she said "WHOA". lol It is so funny to see the reactions on their faces when they see what the animals look like in real lifeversus TV & books. Then we went to the tiger place/abode/cage/den what ever you wanna call it. They were having a worker talk about the tigers and how old they are and where they are from, yada yada yada and then at the end he asked if there were any questions. And my little girl held up her hand and I thought OMG ...anyway, she just held it in the air really high and he said "what is your question?" she talks very softly and so he had to get really close to her and she says "what do they like to eat?". He repeated it to the audience and gave a lengthy answer to her question. I told dh (and macy) that I was so proud of her for knowing how to wait her turn and for asking such a smart question. I don't know why, it just floored me. I guess I am getting my $$$$ worth at her pre-k! Wow I sure and talkative this morning and I have only ad one cup of coffee. If I lose this post I am going to be pissed. lol Hang on, I am gonna run go get another cup of coffee real quick :tt1: OK that is better! Coconut rum...that stuff is very good! I had never had any until our weekend together. Now I know I can just run to Terrys' house and get hooked up with a drink and good company :biggrin2: (and call Haydee to join us :sad:). Just remember all violets...if at any given time you wanna come down my way you are more than welcomed to stay with me. Ok, I gotta go for a while. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

Suzie-looking forward to seeing your new hairdo! Terri-did you buy any coconut rum?! Pamela-how hot is it in Phoenix anyway? Sorry about all the PBs your having. Macy can be a mascot...a violetta! Jennifer-i hope all is going well with you and that you check in soon! TracyinKS-how is Robbie's foot? Let me know if you need me to fix your eyebrows...lol :thumbup: Laura-did you get to sleep in really late this morning? I sure hope so! Hi Jane, Haydee, Michelle, Kat, Judy, Denise, Gina and any other violets I may have missed! We went to the Houston Zoo today and it was a ZOO! lol No really, it was fun but I am so glad we went early cause it was SO hot & humid. After about 3 hours of walking my hip and knee started acting up. That is really good though cause before I had gotten the band I could have only done about 15 minutes and I was done. So, all in all I did very well I think. Days like today reassure me of why I got my band. To enable me to do things with my family. Life is great! Have a great evening violets!

Good morning violets! Kat-lets hear it for the flat tummy!! HIP HIP...HOOORAYYYY!! I am so excited for you! I really hope that the bad days are few. Well, we did not go to the zoo yesterday but we are going to be there when the gates open this morning. We took dd to have her pics taken yesterday and of course they were awesome. She tried to tell me that 152.95 was the cheapest package I could get...until I whipped out the 9.99 coupon.:biggrin: Then she told me that it costs more to order more pics online and I thought that was untrue so as soon as I got home I looked online and I can get them for about 14 dollars a sheet....she told me it would be about 25 dollars per sheet. Alls well that ends well I will try to scan them & post them for y'all. Better yet, here is the link to see them all! https://www.searsphotos.com/view_shared_roll_images.asp?shareid=S206235852lJW5BGF3H57&tag=1CA695B8279C4342A2D14F7870BE99894B65070C95B8431DA5EA6285B4AC4A4D Have a great day everyone!!

LOOK AT US..........what fun we were having! I MISS EVERYONE SO MUCH!!

I would love to Jane!! Tell me what time to be there to pick you up but give me plenty of notice...it may take me a while to get there! :rolleyes2:

Awww how beautiful !! Thank you so much for sharing the pics with us!

Ummm, a monster sized bag of M&Ms? (we decided to go to the zoo today)

Kat-just think...you are going to be able to change your ticker to a really lower number! How exciting is THAT?!!

Good morning violets!! I slept like a rock and so did dh AND macy. I woke first to find everyone still asleep and I thought something was wrong! What a peaceful morning. This time last week we were sitting at our round table on the patio having coffee and chatting away. What fun that was.... DD had her picture taken at school and they were horrible. For the irst time ever, I did not buy the pics. So I jumped on the phone and called Sears and she has an appt today to have her pic taken. I just could not see spending so much money on pictures that sucked! lol GO ASTROS! (had to throw that in there) I have done well with eating since our trip and I have lost some of the pounds I had gained over the past 2 months. After I lose a few more pounds I will reaveal how much I had gained. Ouch...just hurts too much right now to admit it. Oh well it was a conscious decision. I knew what I was doing when I was doing it. Now I am just getting back with the program. Thank goodness it has been easier than I thought! I am envious of Suzie getting a pool. I would LOVE to have one! I would live in it! Have a great day everyone!

:rolleyes2: Me too!

Wow...this time last Friday I was one drunk individual.....

LOVE that pic....I saw it and started laughing all over again "PAM!!!"

Ya'll tell me....:cursing:
