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

Good morning, Violets..

Well, I weighed in this morning and I lost 2# This is a major accomplishment. I usually gain 5-7# on a cruise. Now to try and keep up the pace. Off to babysit Grady. Kris should be on her flight to Hawaii right about now. They have dial up at their house, so don't know if I can get online or not. I'll be running after two little boys and that will be the priority for the week.

Everyone have a great day. Will check in tonight if I can't make it in sometime today.

YAY judy! That is so awesome! You are so good and you should be proud of your willpower. You're gonna be skinny minny when you come down to texas. make sure you pack your bikini, LOL!!

I bet michelle is having a blast in the sun right now! Hopefully she's drinking some margaritas for meeeee!!!

The day just flew by yesterday... The rest of the week might too... So busy at work...

pop back in later!

Good afternoon, Violets..

Grady is sleeping and Ethan is watching TV so I thought I'd try and get on here. The Bobster weighed in this morning and he gained 8# on the cruise. Now I REALLY feel good about how I did. He's trying to get back to the bandster rules after seeing what happened in just a week. I am still really motivated so we'll see how it goes.

Grady is walking like a champ. He was sick to his stomach when I got here and threw up once more, but now is sleeping and seems to be better. I fell asleep on the couch for a little bit and awoke to hear Ethan yelling for me. He wanted me to see that he had gone to the potty all by himself and pooed! Now that is another major accomplishment!! Grady's other Gramma should be here in another hour or so and then Ethan and I will come home and he'll stay with me until his daddy gets off of work. Then I have rehearsal tonight at 7-9. We repeat the day again tomorrow. I'm guessing Ethan will stay with us again tonight unless Joe wants to bring him to my house early. We'll see.

Hope everyone is having a great day. It's snowing here.. great big fluffy flakes. Just beautiful, though I would prefer to be in Cabo or Puerto Vallarta.

Hello!!

Sort of a lazy day here, going in to work late.

I had another bagel for breakfast.

GREAT GOING JUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My gosh I would probably be gorging myself on a cruise!!

Okay off for some errands and then to work!!

Good evening, Violets..

I've been working on downloading my photos for an hour. Had to resize them all first so they would download faster on Webshots. 338 photos.. yikes!! Now I have to label them all. That will take some time too. Be patient.. I'll send a link when I'm done.

Going to pick Ethan up at 7:15 a.m. and then head out to take care of Grady. Kris called and she made it safely to Hawaii. Temp there is 79. They are going snorkeling, sunbathing and shopping tomorrow. Must be nice!!!

Everyone have a good evening. Sleep well.

DONE!!

Judy I can't wait, I will probably look at them tomorrow night.

bagel

1/2 ital sub (no saucy stuff)

southwest grilled chic salad (McDonalds)

cousin willies light popcorn

I just checked airline prices for Haydees wedding and it was $198 (plus taxes), (plus baggage fee). Really a great price. I checked a couple of places and for me expedia gave the best price. I swear it is just a crap shoot.

p.s. I am not eating my popcorn

Good morning, Violets..

Gramma is dragging this morning, but I'm up early to pick up Ethan and head to Grady's in a little bit.

Great job on the eating, Jane!!!! How's the water intake?

I'm still staying firm on the no sweets. Had a yogurt last night for a snack before bed. Ate a few bites of yogurt for breakfast, a lean cuisine for lunch and 3 chicken drumsticks and a biscuit for supper. Afternoon snack of blueberries and cream. Plus my 8 glasses of water.

Everyone have a great day!!

Morning girls~

xoxoxoox

Where is Laura!!

good morning! judy, i started looking at your pics and will finish tonight when i get home from work.

so sad about another earthquake in haiti. poor people!

i am so super busy today! i'll be back!

Good morning!!

It is SUPER foggy here, still!! Can only imagine what it was like earlier!

Water intake is always good, it is a rare day I don't drink my fill.

I saw yesterday Pamela there was a tornado warning in L.A., they said that never happens!!

Here I go to work........................................

Oh wait, another earthquake???

Congrats on the loss Judy!! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

I went to Tunica (for work actually!!) Sunday-Monday.

Russ & Carson stayed home, and he can't work with Carson at work, so they were at home Monday.

My mom was trying to get me to go away (on the phone with someone), was bein snotty all of a sudden... figured it had to do with my sis...

So a few minutes later, dad calls her and she goes 'oh thank god' and hugs me.. and I'm like what??? So she goes "your husband and son are ok!!". Heh what?! So it ends up a plane crashed in a neighborhood on County Line (the road mine and parent's neighborhood is on). She didn't know which one, and Russ wasn't answering his phone. Ends up it crashed in between our neighborhood and the one next to us, about 3 blocks from my house. UGH!!! I am always terrified of the planes flying overhead, I think I've told ya'll that before.. they're SO LOUD. They all tell me I'm crazy, but there ya go, plane crashed right by us. Time to move!!!!!!!!!!
