Here you go, my Sweet Violets! Another new home for our daily musings....

"Thus nature has no love for solitude, and always leans, as it were, on some support; and the sweetest support is found in the most intimate friendship."

- Cicero

I'd recognize that eye anywhere! Hi Tracy! Sounds like you're in the game... kutgw!

Snoring? Moi? (oh yeah, you roomed w/me... he he he...)

It's Monday! Back to work! Bleh. The rush is really on now... can you believe that I'm just finishing up some chapters that they're trying to have published by the end of the year? Wowza! & tomorrow I'm getting final proofs that I need to try to turn around in 1 day! Let the fun begin!

I'm try try trying to eat properly & move a bit today, too. Just today. Cross your fingers!

Smooches!

Good Morning Girls~

Blew off working out AGAIN to go have breaky w/ Melissa. We are in this training ALL WEEK and don't have to be there until 8:30. Tomorrow I WILL GO TO THE GYM. LOL...not sure who I am telling that to, but I am going! Get my fill Wed. afternoon...that will be good. I have now mastered the "no drinking during food" finally...and that is helping w/ intake. Never really was a good bandster...but the challenge is for life.

I am LOVIN' the kindle...it is already in my purse. I bought two more books already since I am "this close" to finishing The Help. I loved this book, just don't have the time to read...it was sooo great yesterday; it was cloudy but mild, had the doors and windows open, laid on the couch under a blanket, listening to xmas music, and reading...then I stretched out and took a little nappy poo! Sheer heaven! Susanne was gone painting Jenny's new house until 3pm. I LOVED yesterday.

OK, have a great day everyone! Check in after the meeting...uggg!

OH yeah...our mountains (Michelle and Haydee know my beautiful mountain) is snow capped!! I LOVE IT!

Sounds heavenly, Pam! (The mountain and your day yesterday!)

Chapters are done & returned. Phew!

Well, during my nice leisurely breakfast, I got called to work because my sub didn't show...damn budget cuts. We used to have 2 extra subs, but ain't no mo' money.

sigh...bbl

I am going for a fill next Monday. I need like .3cc. I am at a good spot, but with a sip of water I can 'clear it out'. I just barely need more.

Anyway, I'm not gaining weight, I'm still at 266.. I'll take it, considering how my T'day went!!

Good afternoon, Violets..

We are back home and I already have one load of clothes in the laundry. Ethan comes soon and Grady will be here for an hour tonight. We are back to normal. The Bobster is brushing Jetta. We couldn't believe the amount of hair on the floor when we got home.

I got a lot of Christmas shopping done yesterday and will do a bit more this week. I haven't even thought about putting up the tree yet. Maybe this week. I'm worried about Grady being drawn to it like a magnet!

We saw snow on the way home today. None here, but a bunch about 10 miles out. I know we can't dodge the bullet for much longer, but it's been a nice November. Can you believe tomorrow is December????

New month, new resolve.. yada, yada, yada.. I've been saying that for a year now. We'll see how this month goes. I guess I'm too comfortable where I am. Goal seems like an impossibility, but I have to get my head back in the game. I bet we all make some New Year's resolutions and I bet they will all sound similiar. The good part is we are here to support each other and the better part is our friendship isn't based on how much we weigh. We're all beautiful Violets and I couldn't be more proud of each and every one of us!!

Off to be a Gramma again. Everyone have a great day!!

Aaaaahhhhh, it feels good to be home again. I missed all my Violets! I hope everyones Thanksgiving was awesome!

We had a great time at both houses. I didn't eat that much because my fill is awesome. At both houses I nibbled on the turkey spine. Lots of little bits of meat there. Had some mashed potatoes and some green bean casserole. OH but the kicker was that I couldn't fit in any pie so I took a big piece of coconut cream pie home with me. And while I was running around doing laundry and packing for our trip I managed to eat a giant slice of coconut cream pie and a half a giant slice of pumpkin cheesecake. Left the crust on both if that's any consolation, LOL. We left for Mexico bright and early Friday morning and had an awesome three days at my granparents house. I am so blessed...

I'm off to catch up with your posts!

Anyone else "Cyber Monday" shopping w/me??

Cha-ching!

Anyone else "Cyber Monday" shopping w/me??

Cha-ching!

I'm right there with ya, roomie!!

What did ya'll buy??

Such a deal.. I got an $88 robe for Bob for $25.00 and 3 pair of pants for son Joe. Also got some deshedding stuff for Jetta. We combed enough hair out of her today to make a coat.

Grady just left and he was so cute while he was here. No Ethan tomorrow so we'll get our Christmas decorations out. We have Grady for an hour while his mom gets her hair cut and then we'll get the outside lights done when he goes home.

Going to watch some tv and read some on the Kindle on here.

Everyone have a good evening. Sleep well.

Did you buy the Kindle for the PC? or is this an additional feature.

lovin mine!

Nope, it's a free download. I just finished I, Alex Cross on the puter. Now on to see what else I downloaded on the Kindle so I can start it in here while I watch tv. Only problem is, when I read on the puter, then go to the Kindle it does not sync the pages. I have to remember where I was in here and then find it on the Kindle. A small price to pay for being able to have one Kindle work for two people at the same time.

GOOD EVE V's!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting ready to head to bed!

I managed to do pretty good today.... haven't had my head in the game for a year or more....... but HERE WE ARE!!!!!!!

Testing out my new pic...we took a bunch for our xmas cards...
