Last thing is the nursery crap that needs moving.

Did you just say what I thought you said??? Nursery "CRAP"??? LOL Oh, how times change.

Laura - I absolutely ADORED the exchange between you and the Craigsbitch. "Wow, stay classy." ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are sooooo good. I'm glad you are my friend. :thumbup:

Kat - Jason is being a poopy head. Seriously, he's acting like a three year old so Manda needs to talk to him like a three year old. The man has a child, HELLO, and he's acting like this? She did the right thing for herself and for Kinsey.

Oh it's just the classic case of he only wants them now that they're gone! We've all been there!! It's just such a shame that Kinsey is gonna be the one to suffer for it all. I just want Manda and Kinsey to live happily ever after, that's all.

Pamela - OMG, Girlfriend....that was HYSTERICAL!!! Sounds like a good reason to start baking ASAP.

Ok, so here's why haven't decorated OR baked anything OR finished my shopping! I've been making this order for my girlfriend and it's taken me hours and hours and hours!!!

Oh, and I meant to say, Laura -- I loved the pics!! And your nursery wall hangings!! That was brilliant and they turned out so dang cute!! I can't wait! I can't wait!! :thumbup:

And here's a pic of DH and I from our Xmas party... I'm lit. tee hee.

K, I goez tu bed nao

Laura, classic!

Terri, I love, love, love your jewelry! + your pic is great, as are the funny cats!

Pam, didn't we make that recipe in Gruene?? It sounds awfully familiar... :smile2:

Good night girlies... 'til tomorrow...

just lost long post, so goodnight everyone!!

OMGOMGOMG!!!

I just got this email from my diss chair...CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS!!! Had to share w/ my violets! I am half way through ch. 5 and plan on finishing it by Friday (first draft mind you)...but here is what my diss chair said!

Dear Pam,

First let me express my sorrow at the loss of your dad. Our relationship is bookended by the passing of your parents on both ends. Being without parents now for 5 years, I can tell you it is strange to be an orphan. Luckily, I have 8 siblings to share life and memories of mom and dad. I don’t know if you were close to him, but it won’t matter. There will be many times that you say to yourself, “wait till dad hears this” and then you remember. Enjoy your memories.

Regarding your Chapter 4, my apologies, I thought I sent it back to you. It is now attached. It is excellent!! Rarely do I have such a complete Chapter 4 on just the second attempt. Congratulations. There are a few changes that you will see.

I am fascinated at what you found and am eager to see how you write your findings and conclusions.

Aren’t you glad I made you cry and get this finished?????

We can begin looking at dates in February or March for your oral defense.

Bonnie

WTG Pamela!!!

I am so proud of you, for continuing and pushing yourself through the hard times you have been through!

I knew we would not be the only ones to see it!!!

You GO GIRL!! Yay You!!!!

Like I say I am just so damned proud of you---I know you are so happy, I just sit here grinning like I did something!!! LOL

XOXOXO

Kat

Woohoo Pam!!

Terry, Nursery "Crap"--didn't mean actual nursery stuff, the furniture that is still in there (guest bed, shelf, etc.) . It's guest room crap, but it's keeping me from setting up the nursery!!!

Great pic of you guys!

Off to bed

Fantastic news, Pamela!! :smile2: Here's one for now... the rest we'll reserve for when we can call you "Dr. Jazzy Bradford"!!

You rock, girl!!

:smile2:

HiYa girlies!!

Great pic Terry! You look awesome!

Laura-LOVE the wall deco. You did a fantastic job! I would crapped if Suzie would have won on Survivor! I liked the way it turned out I guess. I would have rathered Maddy or Sugar in it, but Bob is such a nice guy! And that Corinne girl is going to hell! OMG, what a nasty witch!

Pammie-I am so happy & proud of you! Your dad is surely smiling :biggrin:

Tracy-how is your mom?

Love to all my violet sistas!

So many things to do this morning, so let me get off here and get to it. Have a great day and make healthy, scale friendly choices :glare:

Morning girlies!

Terry - the jewelry looks beoooootiful.... Just love it... and you and your husband look too cute! I keep forgetting to post me and Juan's pic from our company party.

Here is me and my cachetonsito (it means chubby cheeks! He gained about 10 lbs since Thanksgiving, LOL)
