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!!

Pam, I loved the pictures. How incredible. And your brother is a little cutie. Looks like all of you had a great time.

We got up and went to Wal-Mart to get chlorine for the pool and a few other things. Came home and mowed the yard. I went ina nd put my swim suit on and did my exercises. I than swam 20 laps and ran 5 laps. Than I laid on the air mattress and floated for a half hour. It felt great.

Went over to a birthday party for a 4 year old that we know. I walked out of there not eating any cake. I didn't even bring a piece home. I did have a hot dog in a bun and was only able to eat half of it and gave hubby the rest. I was afaid I was going to end up in the bathroom.

It's off and on raining right now. Looks like it will be this way for a little bit. It will give me some time to get some things done around the house here.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

It is raining here, supposed to rain til Thursday. Just got home from seeing Chorus Line, and eating a WONDERFUL BRUNCH!!!! Good thing all brunches are not this good!! It is also good that the brunch was expensive so I won't be tempted. I need to go clean out my car. My car is so filthy that if I want to sell it.........

Pamela, love the pics!!! That is sooo neat!!! Congrats!!!

Woohoo!!! I am "fixed"...thanks so much Laura...was having problems signing in the last few weeks....so have been lurking...and reading....the good news is that I went to Dr. last Tuesday and I am at 100# from the day of surgery!!!! Bad news is still no job....getting very depressing.....oh, well...not doing much this weekend....watched both of our teams lose today, Hawks and Cubs!!! Hope everybody is having a good weekend...great weather here, so far!!!

One hundreds pounds is sooooo great!!! Congratulations!!

Woohoo 100lb is great!!! I was at one point, I get to celebrate it AGAIN eventually...

Just popped in real quick to say for Heather.. and maybe Judy although I imagine Grady is past this point....

Carson doesn't have Colic really, but he definitely has digestion issues.. especially at night, he wakes up in horrible pains and I have to massage him and just ride it out with him (but it's not nearly as long as true colic).

Anyway, I bought "Colic Calm" which is the only FDA approved gripe water (which suppose to help with digestion pains)..I gave him half a dose when I first got it a week or so ago and it helped but didn't seem any different from the gas-x drops (Mylicon).

Tonight he's just been so upset with pains, so I gave him a full dose.. wow. It's like a totally different baby; he must always be in pain

He actually smiled and giggled while eating it.. must be like candy, it has peppermint in it. Then he was wide-eyed and just a really happy baby..now he let me lay him down with absolutely no fussing (first lately, he's always cranky when I try to put him down).

So I'll swear by it lol.

Only complaint is it's like a black ink, solid black. So it can make a mess if not given nice and slow.. and I use a kitchen rag for if he spits any out or spills.

:patriot:Happy Memorial Day.

Rainy here today and we have company coming over. Oh well. It will be all right.

Hubby and I will be leaving here soon to go to the gym. He said just because it's a holiday, doesn't mean that we have to slack off. He's right. Ugh.

Everyone have a great day.

good morning gals

Jane - Happy B-Day, hope you had a great weekend

I am here, my mom got me a grill for mothers day, so i put that together, did some yard work, some laundry, cooked dinner on new grill, Sat I planted some shrubs, moved hasta, went swimming, week wacked the yard and planted some grass, and Sunday, i used my left over wood from the deck and built a bench for the little deck for a place to sit by the pool and a tash can for the deck out of the wood, so it will be heavy and wont blow away and won't get destroyed in the weather here because it is pressure treated wood. That took most of the day.

Here I am this morning, just applied for unemployment, it is official, I'm home... kind of stresses me, but wil be ok. I got this playhouse for dd and it has needed some work, and i have stuff to fix it, so I'm going to relax today and tomorrow i'm going to fix the shingles that need work, put new stairs on and fix the railing, and get it painted and cleaned up for Dyan to play in

My yard looks great and has taken 10 years but is cleaned up! I am going to work on 1 room a day while i'm home so i can enjoy my time at home.

If anyone wants to come visit you are all welcome...

hope you guys are having a great weekend too

laptop is screwed.....bbl from the other computer

Morning violets~

It has been so quiet in here this weekend! I've been chillaxing, grading papers and watching TV. I did get feedback from the editor on diss, so I'll work on that this week! WILL IT EVER END???

Other than that, I've got more on tap today. Looking forward to next weekend!!! Ready for a drink!

xoxooxxo

How can you get feedback on your dissertation now? That seems so wrong.

I am going to get my car washed and then off to the dealership, but I think I am going to wait for now. I will see what they offer, but really I think that I need to do some more research!

Jane

Good morning violets!

Had a fantastic time in LA this weekend. Macy had a ball. 4 wheelin' is right up her alley! She really enjoyed gator watching and the turtles everywhere. She didn't like crawfish (neither do i) but she still loved the party atmosphere! She is ready to go back! lol

I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day! I missed ya'll!

Congrats Pamela!

Happy belated B-Day Jane!

Diss has been at the editor since the last week in April. I have some work ahead of me, but after reviewing it...it is not too bad (I hope).

Good luck w/ the car!

Hi Girls -

Thanks for all the good wishes. I feel like there's a vital part of my body missing, but I guess I'll get used to it. I can call him and leave messages, but he calls me back when he has time and/or feels like talking to me! I last heard from him Saturday night and he was heading for bed. I guess I'll call the unit and speak with the director to see how he's doing so far. I'm sure it's not easy although the people all seem wonderful. He said the food was really good -- so that's a relief.

Had a nice visit with my girlfriend in San Antonio and wish I could have stayed much longer. She lives on 3 acres at the top of a hill...and it's so quiet and peaceful there. Her husband is an awesome cook, too.

Dr. JazzyB - I'm so proud of you! I'll run over to FB and see your pics!!

Jane, Happy Birthday!! .... sorry I missed it.

I gotta run an errand so I'll catch you all later...k?

Quick check in...

DS's soccer team won the championship of this weekend's tournament in their division! The final game this a.m. ended 0-0 and went to penalty kicks -- and remember that DS is the goalie!! -- talk about pressure! It went back & forth for the full 5 kicks, ending tied... so on the 6th round DS stopped their kick (SO hard to do!) and then our guy made his kick, so they won! Talk about a nail biter!

Since then it's been work & PTA stuff & house stuff... I'm cramming about a week's worth of errands/duties into the next 3 days... but it will be SOOOOOOOOOO worth it next weekend when I'm celebrating without a care in the world with my fav DOC & friends!!! :biggrin::tongue: To say I can't wait is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!

Enjoy the rest of the day!

Well I am here with no new car. Probably I won't get one. I am not disappointed though. They were only going to offer me $1800 for my car, so if that is what it is worth, I may as well drive it till it dies!

Went to dinner at the Elephant Bar tonight, I think only Pamela knows that restaurant, I think we are lucky to have one outside of Ca. My sister and brother in law lived in Tracy CA for a brief stint and found it.

It POURED today!! Not just rain, but buckets and buckets at a time!!

I am going to head over the the Alabama site, I had a horrible feeling tonight that I was supposed to get the balance to Terry by Memorial Day! I am late!!
