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

OMG...I would be so scared. I live 4 houses away from the runway...and about 6 years ago, a plane crashed literally about 75 yards (if not less) from my house. They tried to use the main street behind my house to land. It made the most horrible noise (my mom told me).

Glad to see you posting!!!

Is the manchild walking?

Not yet! Crawling and pulling up on stuff.. he goes nuts in his walker though.. boy.

Great pictures Judy...making me very nostalgic...I need a cruise bad...I need a job, so I can go on vacation...

Getting some freezing rain/drizzle right now..I am so ready for spring!

Went on a cattle call interview this AM...then another interview for computer tech company.,..crossing fingers....pay wasn't much, but at this point, I don't even care anymore...

I was down 3 lbs last week after a few weeks of gains...so still about 9 lbs. to goal. I would like to do it by my bandiversary date of 2-28-07.

Just having leftover jambalaya tonight....:biggrin:

Hola friends from Isla Mujeres!

I am sitting in the check-in area @ the hotel for a quick "HI' to you all before we head out to dinner. We are having a wonderfully relaxing time here... I have read 2 books (Half-Broke Horses, by the gal who wrote The Glass Castle, recommend it but not as good as GC, and Her Fearful Symmetry, by the gal who wrote the Time Traveller's Wife... a mystery/ghost story, good, too!)

We rented a golf cart yesterday & drove all over the island -- ds even drove for a bit, he loved it! -- and the kids swam w/the dolphins, so cool!

We spent one day lazing by the pool in the gorgeous, lush, tropical courtyard, and today we were @ the beach all day... clear, turqouis water that you can walk out for ages into...

I've had at least 1 margarita &/or strawberry dacquiri for each of you so far! lol! One night we were @ dinner & I ordered a bottle of water & they were out! So... I got the 2 for 1 'ritas, instead! What else was I to do? he he he.

Gotta dash... time to walk into town in search of dinner... dd says she's tired of Mexican food -- ha ha -- so we'll try something else...

Miss you all!

I feel refreshed, renewed, recharged... ready to tackle 2010!

Michelle~

Your trip sound WONDERFUL! AAAHHH A TROPICAL VACAY!!! Enjoy every minute, every margie, every sunset!!! It is POURING RAIN HERE...I know I don't get to complain about the weather much.

Off to look at Judy's pix before I write up the minutes from our meeting today!

Good evening.

I was a bad girl today.

2-100 calorie eng muff.

handful or two of chips

healthy choice meal

2-milky ways

4-large tootsie rolls (I mean the real big ones)

seems to me I had something that was good for me also, but can't remember.

Laura, glad to see you again also, I missed you. I don't like it when my violets don't post!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay off to do some stuff around here and then go to bed.

Hey Judy, I just tried to click on your link and it says it is an error? Can you resend them? Thanks, I really do like looking at your pics!!!

Hey Girls~

Well I didn't swim to the gym this am...It has POURED all night. I like listening to it since we really don't hear it a lot. Klausy stayed w/ us all night..I love having the 3 of us in the bedroom...I thank God for my little family everyday!

Today is my mom's birthday!!! Happy Birthday mom...miss you!

I set out to finish this f&^*ing paper but didn't...uggg! Gotta work on it later!

Ok...pop in from work...

Jane, today is another day!

Last night I had BA over for dinner. I made pulled pork (all day in the crocker) German noodles, gravy/mushrooms, steamed zuccinni and salads. I only ate the meat, zuccinis and salad...but was STARVING 2 hours later????? The small cup of low cal ice cream worked....I just can't win!!

Judy, LOVED THE PIX...looks like you had a whirl wind trip to LA too. Glad you got to see some sights! You saw more than I have lol. The cruise looked WONDERFUL! xoox

Good morning!!

The beginning of this week was awful -- Target told me that since I was seasonal, my last day would be next Friday. Was very upset and spent most of Monday in bed. Over the weekend, I had decided to quit Curves because the lady wanted us to do all kinds of stuff on our own time, so was reconsidering that.....

Then, on Tuesday on a chance and a prayer, I went to the H&R Block office in my little town to see if they needed help and they said YES!! It's only until April 17th, but she says the next two weeks are the busiest and I can work as much as I want. I have been so bored with not using my brain, so it is good. I will be making more $$ than the state says I can, so they will reduce my unemployment those weeks, but the total will not be less and could very well be more.

The recruiters say that things are picking up in the permanent job market too!!

What a difference a day makes!!

Good morning!!

Guess what? I am running late!!!!!!!

Surprise surprise!!!

See ya tonight!!!!!!!

Susie~ Congrats!!! That is awesome news...2010 is looking up. Funny how doors close and windows open all the time.

Good evening, Violets.. What a bummer the last 24 hours has been. We went out to dinner after choir and Bob and I shared nachos. We got home and my head was pounding and I felt sick from it. Went to bed at 9:30 and by 11 I was in the bathroom trying to vomit. I haven't done that since getting the band and had forgotten how vile it is.. yuck. After getting rid of everything from both ends... sorry tmi... I went to bed and stayed there until 7 p.m. tonight. I haven't had a thing to eat in 24 hours, and just a little juice. I'm not hungry and have a little fever. Grady was sick Tuesday so I guess that's where I got it. Ethan is sick too. Not fun!!!

Grady is coming over tomorrow morning for the day and then Bob and I have a wedding in the afternoon. Then we'll go back to Grady's house and stay there until Saturday afternoon. The other grandparents will take over until Sunday afternoon and then I'll be there with Grady and Ethan until Tuesday afternoon. Kris and Nathan are loving Hawaii. They are going whale watching right now. Can't wait to see all their pictures and videos.

Off to try and do some laundry.... and have some hot chocolate.

Everyone sleep well. I certainly hope I can after sleeping 24 hours straight..

Hey Girls~

Judy...that is terrible...so sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better. That sucks that nachos were the reason (or were they)...they are my bestest friend!

Long tedious day here. Came home and picked up a rotisseri (sp) chicken from the store. We were both hungry so we had dinner at 3:30pm. Dishes (what little there were) are done, coffee is made for the morning, and the 3 of us are in the den, under blankets watching the soaps!!! We even danced together to this wonderful slow song that was on the radio...havent done that in a long time!

Laura, OMG, I LOVED the vid of Carson...he is quite a little speed demon and your poor dog, lol!!! I loved it!

Ok girls, gonna enjoy my evenign SANS work w/ my sweetheart! xoxoox
