Cindy & Haydee- Thanks for the pics....I just love when people post pics The cruise sounded fun and haydee I love your tree & house! Terri-omg, your boss' daughter did definitely have a troop of angels with her! My goodness is all I can say! Sorry that you have fighting the junk monster but you are not alone! It s really hard this time of year. The new year is right around the corner thank GOD! All the cookies and fudge are wearing my nerves thin. I am going to get ready to go to moms. Wish me a safe trip because I almost got hit driving home from work Wednesday and then Thursday I had a wreck in the lane right next to me! I have never heard or seen a real wreck! The sound was deafening and I almost crapped on myself! My heart was in my throat! So...I am nervous to drive anymore! Have a great day everyone!

Hi all! Laura-YAY for you! Way to go!! Terri-I am off until the 27th. Have to go back to that ungrateful place to do inventory with the auditor. Have a great time off! Judy-thank God you are getting rid of the fudge! Haydee-I agree with a soft throw & Barnes & Noble gift card for your picky cousin! Kat-I am gonna PM you my new address. And yes, send me some books Well, I got all of my shopping done. Thank goodness for the Dollar General Store (just joking ) Now I am gonna sit back and wait for all hell to break loose when dsd and dss show up. Macy is SO excited that she gets to open some gifts tonight! Those kids are gonna be wired:omg: Have a great evening & weekend everyone! (((((hugs))))) OH OH OH....I finally tried on some jeans that had ZERO elastic and ZERO stretch in them and I actually zipped up and buttoned a size 14....snug, but they did fit!! I am so happy!

Thank you all for the kind words about the bonus situation. It means alot to me to know that you all care about me. The money would have really helped out but it is the principal behind the whole thing that bothers me the most. Makes me feel like they just don't care. That hurts. Anyway, good morning violets. I am going to cut out of work early today to get the last minute things done. The kids are coming this evening to open gifts and then the party at my moms tomorrow. I have baked everything I have to bake so at least that is done. I just have this feeling like I am forgetting something. I hate when that happens. Wish I had time for personals...I probably won't have time for that until after the move. PS...loved all the pics you all are posting!!

No bonus this year....at least not for me. I will check back in later......

Oh...and the stress is causing my restriction to be off the chart!!!

Haydee-Good job girlfriend!! You are doing great!! I only have until tomorrow to get my shopping done Michelle-I bet your house smells yummy! Pamela-hope you had a painless sleep. I am sure Suzanne wishes she could be there with you! Tracy-how did it go last night? Jenn-violet power to you on your fill today and do not take any of the doctors crap! Well ladies, wish me strength today. The ladies in our other building are throwing a party today complete with every baked good known to mankind I am sure. I am sure they will all be delicious because the lady that does the baking used to do wedding cakes for a living...so you can imagine. The only thing that is going to make me a "good girl" is that the ladies over there are nosey (and jealous) about my weight loss and would love to sabatoge it. Just gives me more willpower So, I'll pass things up just to piss them off. Mean right? NOT! Hopefully the boss will give me a bonus today...with the move and Christmas we really need it! DSS and DSD come over tomorrow to open gifts and I need to so a little more shopping before then. I really need to take tomorrow off but if the boss doesn't give me a bonus today I will have to show up tomorrow to see if he gives me one then...if not oh well. What it is is the guys get a bonus every 3 months and I do not get one since I am in the office. They usually give me one at Christmas time all at once to make up for all year going without. If one does not come through, I will be really hurt and upset. Wish me luck! Have a great junk-free day violets!

Hi Haydee!!! You are not the only one not done Christmas shopping!!

Pamela-rest rest rest! Hope you heal quickly sista! Suzie-that is beautiful! Good job Laura-you did better on the chocolate @ work than I did...I ate all 4 LOL Kat-I like reading Fern Michaels, John Sanford, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, VC Andrews (flowers in the attic) Mitch Albom.... I wanna get the book Tuesdays with Morrie. I love to read. not really into the unrealistic romance novels like Harloquin. OK, gotta make dinner. Have a great one V's!!!

Good morning Vs' In a mad dash to go to work....but HAD to say good morning! Have a great day! :confused:

Hi Violets! Kat I think we are going to have to send out the flying monkies to find Terri..... Ugh, what a long day at work. I guess I am just anxious for the week to end so the REAL work can start. Michelle-congrats on the jeans!!! woohooo!! Still no word @ work about our bonuses. I am starting to get antsy. Have a great evening everyone!

When I count sheep they always turn into veal parmesian, so that doesn't work for me! Denise-what a beautiful dd you have. She is glowing! Judy-since the bobster doesn't post, you shoud have his ticker on here too! How much has he lost? TOM is killing me this month. I bit a few peoples heads off yesterday...I am cramping, severly I might add, bloated and craving chocolate. Poor me! I love Christmas but this year I am just ready to have the whole thing over with. Yesterday I talked to one of my best (skinny) friends on the phone. We have not seen each other since April. The first thing she says is "what size are you, you aren't smaller than me are you?" I told her no, not yet and I would tell her what size I wear when I am giving her my old clothes...lol. Like that will really happen! My goal weight is probably still 30 pounds higher than what she weighs. I will get to see her next month at her daughters wedding. I can't wait! Today is dd party at school so I get to remove those cookies out of my house today I ave them in a tin and they have not been a problem since I put them in there. The problem was the 'fresh out of the oven' cookies. My boss is not going to be there today and I have no books to read and that equals a LONG day, especially since I can not get on LBT Everyone have a super duper day! Remember today is CTCD!!!

hmmmm, not even a full page of posts to read when I got home. Everyone must be busy today! Busy typical Monday at work. Laura-did you like the ending of Survivor? Hope you had fun on your trip! Everyone have a peaceful, relaxing evening!

Good morning Violets- I woke up this morning not feeling up to par. I just swallowed 2 Immodium AD (I think you all get the picture now). I am so scared to drive to work and have to turn around with one of those "gotta GO right now" cramps! I hope the Immodium works quickly! Pamela-What a nice thing to do for your friend that is down on her luck. You are truly a special person! Judy-you and dh please be careful! I told dh to pack the scales. Now I will not be able to weigh until the 27th. I was still at 185 when he packed them up so we'll see what happens. Considering TOM is here, I will not really miss anything by not weighing. I usually stay the same weight during THAT week anyway. OMG...I really hope we get our bonuses this year in the form of cash instead of the jelly-of-the-month club like Clark Griswold With the move and Christmas, we could really use the $$$. oh well, let me get up and get ready for work and dd ready for school. Have a great day everyone! Excuse any spelling errors....

Michelle-it does that to me too when I edit, so I just leave it alone

Judy-love the pics! (and those sexy socks are just too cute!) PS...you do not even have to lose a total of 100 pounds...right?

Tracy-poor thing! I can not even imagine having to deal with a group!! One is enough for me! I feel for you! Pamela-The internet is supposed to be hooked up the same day we move....thank GOD! SnowViolets-more power to you for having to deal with the snow, much less drive in it! I will send WARM thoughts your way Judy-great NSV! That is so awesome! In my rambling of sh*t I have to do...I forgot these things #1 Shop for Christmas #2. Wrap the stuff. #3. Bake cookies for dd school party and for my family party. Well, on the up side of it, at least I do not have to drive on icy roads, so life isn't THAT bad! I went to wal-mart yesterday:eek:. That place was a ZOO. Thank goodness for shopping carts. I was able to corral Macy in that instead of chasing her around the store. TOM showed up today...I am having to beat myself off of the cookies I am baking.:nervous Hope everyone is having a great one. Judy-hope you made it to and from church OK!

Good morning everyone! Pamela-glad you & suzanne are having a good weekend. I wanna go see that movie too! Kat-poor Kinsey. Some kids are just so mean. Sounded to me like she gets it from her mom! I am glad that you told santa what happened. He made it all better!! Jenn-hope you have a better day today Judy-you sure did get a bargain on the air fare!! Don'tcha just love a good bargain! Denise-what a nice picture. You look SO happy! Hope you had great time. This next week and a half is gonna be busy busy busy! Between work, the holiday, moving, parties....whew! Makes me tired just thinking about it. I'll break it down. The 21st we get dsd and dss to open gifts and the the next day (the 22nd) we go to moms to have the party there with my family, then the 23rd we pack more...the 24th we get the keys to start the moving process AND mom & stepdad are coming here so they can give dd her "special gift" (a 5' X 5' dora tent) and to also pour the magic reindeer food on the lawn for them to eat while santa is here. The 25th, open gifts from Santa, then frantically take down the tree and decorations to pack move. Then the 26th, the actual big move, the cable people coming over, cleaning the old house, setting up the new one...then here is the funny part...get ready to go to WORK the next day! LOL Oh...and try to convince Macy the we should put her new Dora tent in the new house instead of the one we are in now (that outta be a joke)....cause when her maw maw & pop are here, she gets her way...I hear things like aww Tracy, it can not hurt a thing to let her do this or that, you know, typical grandparent talk!! Wow am I a chatty one this morning or what? Now that I have bored you all enough...I will get off here and have some more liquid caffeine! ((((((((hugs))))))))
