I canNOT believe this... I had the most beautiful, touching, wonderful 1st post to this new thread and "POOF!" -- it's gone!

Maybe it's the cyber-world telling me it's time to get to bed... good night, my lovelies!!

Good afternoon, Violets..

Just back from 5 miles on the Terratrike. I ordered a headrest, rear view mirror and flag and then I'll really be in business. It was only 46 degrees out with wind so my face is windburned and my toes are frozen, but it was a wonderful workout. I'm lovin' my bike!!

Off to Facebook to see what my classmates are saying and then out to dinner before rehearsal. BBL..

Pam,

I may be too late in my wishes, but BEST OF LUCK!! You'll do fantastic -- I have no doubt!!

Just remember that no matter what, your parents are there and are so very proud of you.

Hugs,

SuzyT

Just a quick evening check in. Hope you all are doing well!

Good point Pamela...maybe I'll get a tattoo of violets on my butt so I can think of ya'll as always bein' on my ass! LOL Maybe then I will eat right!

I thought ya'll would get a kick out of this... Hero...after a day at the dog park!

hey gang...posting from phone..I think haydee got us kicked out of breakfast! Terry..I LOVE THAT PIC OF HERO...MADE MY DAY!

I wish it were over...alone in hotelroom sucks, especialy when I am supposed to be reading.

check in later! xoxo

Love that pic, Terry! He's one pooped pup!!

Enjoy the hotel, Pam -- order room service, jump on the bed, watch tv 'til you fall asleep!! ahh... peace!

Well, I didn't eat sugar 'til about 2pm... more than 1/2 the day... ack. I still laugh to myself that Pam dreamt I was secretly skinny!!

In-laws arrive tomorrow for a visit 'til Saturday... cleaning, cooking, entertaining... lucky me!

Peace out!

Home from work and now watching Idol, than I catch up on DWTS.

I feel like Hero looks.

I'm home too. Was a busy day----but it flew by.

Rick's hours got cut back again....and they keep holding the "at least you have a job...for now" thing over their heads. He has his welder buddy here, and they are assembling the frame of his chopper---so he is just like a little boy he is so happy!!!

I had steak to throw on the grill, but with him having company out there, and I offered him dinner, and he refused, so I am eating left over pizza--well I am eating the toppings!! LOL I need to eat now, not in another hour!

So anyway, Rick getting off earlier is already not a good thing. He gets the mail. So he has already freaked out over the phone bill. And now he is harping about it! I told him the bill has been the same for 2 years, it includes my DSL, and there is seldom any long distance on it, but I showed him there is no charge even if there is....but he just hadn't looked at the bills in forever. So then he was upset that we don't have more money in the Credit Union account.....nope you spent all that on motorcycle stuff, that was your bike account remember???? Well now he wants to put a little in there here and there. I told him fine, I would keep $50.00 cash out of my check each week, bring it home and he could go by and deposit it on HIS lunch hour!!! He has full access to all of these things, always has--the bills are all kept in one spot, in a small tote in the desk, along with stamps, envelopes, address labels, etc. Every month.....those that don't get paid that way get paid on the computer and he is on it every day, we have one email account, and the checking accounts are all joint. He has always just kinda let me deal with it. He does this same freak out when I send him to the store for something. He comes in obssessing over the price of things! LOL. He is just getting a wake up now that he too gets to deal with things!!!

Wind os blowing something fierce here. Supposed to be that way all day tomorrow and cold. I want SPRING!!!

Pamela---I am thinking about you!!!! Tracy, you can call my cell, and I might be close enough to answer, or leave me a message. I agree, that you have 2 angels pulling for you like no other!!

Well here come the guys....will check in later.

XOXOXO

Just got home from work and then getting my nails done. I am watching the tape of Idol tonight, I am only a few people into it, but what did Anoop have on? That was weird.

I wanted to say something, and can't remember what. By the way two days down and no sugar!!!!!!!

Way to go Jane!!!!!!!!!!

Up and needing to get in and dry my hair. Than off to work.

I'll be gone most of the day, I'll check in after I get home from the hospital tonight.

Everyone have a most excellent day and make sure I get texted about Pammie.

Sending all my Purple Power to Pam today. Hugs to you girl.

You are going to do FANTASTIC!! We are all with you. Your mom and dad are SO proud of you already....look at what you are accomplishing! What a woman!:wub:

I'm proud to know you Pam!!

You ROCK!!!!!!

:wub:

I'm up, and don't wanna be!!!

Rick left, and I could not go back to sleep. He had to go in early for a safety meeting, so he will get off an hour early on Saturday---since he cannot go over his hours allottment.

I lay there thinking, I hope Pamela is not too nervous----she is gonna kick a$$!!! And just think---we knew her "when"!!!!

Terry, I loved the Hero pic. I know just how he feels!!! That is similar to how I looked day before yesterday, trying to find a comfortable way to sit or lay down. My torso is better, not normal yet, but better. Wierdest thing!!!

Jane....2 days with no sugar! Way to Go! I have these stupid pecans Rick brought me from TX----some are chocolate covered and some are Amaretto Frosted....and they are my downfall right now. I am proud of you! If my band wasn't restricting me, I would have finished the bags of pecans, and been onto something new already!

On the + side----I did not eat a single solitary Reeces Peanut Butter Egg this year. I had one little Reeces rabbit----a single Cadbury chocolate hard shelled egg, and 2 peanut M&M's. That is it! That is all the easter candy I ate the entire season! And I have avoided the store, so I do not see the mark downs and tempt myself!!!

Well Friday afternoon, I go for my bone scan. I have officially begun to stress! I will go straight from work there---which is like around the corner. I am hoping to stay busy enough that day not to be totally freaked out. I actually leave work at noon, go over get my injection, come back to work, drink, drink, drink----and then go at 2 for the scan. This is the first scan I have had with serious restriction, not sure I can drink the huge amount of liquid they want---36-44 ounces in the 2 hour time line, and then be able to lay flat---without refluxing all that liquid! I bet my belly glows, where it is restricted going through my band! I normally have 4 big BRIGHT spots on the scan....the injection site, my bladder, and the 2 tumors. I have been wide open for the scans the last several times, and they know about the band....so guess it'll give it a new twist!!

The wind is howling out there! I HATE the wind! LOL

The sky looked brown yesterday, everything you touch is gritty with sand. It shows we live in a desert when it blows like this! And every idiot in town wearing contacts needs an emergency appointment, something is wrong with their contacts, they hurt, and feel like something is in their eye! Duh --- Yeah!!! I don't answer the phone unless the receptionist is on another line or busy, but I swear there are some serious idiots out there!!! And they want you to GIVE them everything! A lot of that is our culture here in the area. They want the vitamins the Dr. recommends for macular degeneration given to them, all their eye drops, replacement glasses, cases, neck straps, there are even those who get mad at me because Medicaid will not pay for most eye surgeries. They will cover cataracts etc, but not lasik----they will cover glasses but not colored contact lenses. They will tell me, the gov't. is supposed to cover it all for them! It gets really frustrating. I have only been there ---this is my 3rd week----and one woman has already replaced her sons glasses twice. Medicaid will replace them daily if needed. Mom just has to document what happen. Now if another kid who has private insurance, loses his or they break, Mom & Dad are out the $$$ to replace them or the kid does without. Once again the responsible have to teach their kids responsibility, and the irresponsible show their kids how to continue to be irresposible.

Well time to get dressed.

Will see y'all after while!

Hugs!
