Shrinking Violets - Part 5!

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."

Poor Pamela :w00t:

She paid $50 for a VIRUS!!

FYI anyone who was in that conversation, if you go to download AdAware, make sure you DO NOT "buy" Ad-Ware Pro. Not the same thing. AdAware is FREE.

LOVE Skinny cow///the truffle bars...yummo...and the little cups...OMG...very good..glad everybody got home safe and sound...want to see more pictures of the bride!!!!.

Good morn, Vi's,

Another busy day in paradise... my remaining cat, Chai (yes, like the tea, because she is so relaxing like the tea), has to have her left canine tooth (or is it a "feline tooth" in a cat?, lol) removed this morning. It's been something we've been putting off pretty much all year w/all the other things going on. Her gum is hard & swollen around it, but it doesn't hurt/bother her. Odd. So out it comes. The vet arrives @ 9am. I can't feed her this morn because of the anesthesia... she's going crazy meowing and circling me like if I don't feed her soon, I might be b'fast!

Everyone make it a good day!

Good morning,Violets..

I got a good night's sleep last night. I downloaded a couple of short Stephen King books onto the Kindle and read for a bit, watched my Golden Girls and then zonked out till 8:30 this morning. Bob has already left for work. He'll be back later this afternoon so we can get the pool heater going. The backyard looks beautiful right now.. so green and pretty with the flowering crab trees in full bloom. I have all the mini-trees sprouting in the flower beds in the front yard again so that is my job today.. to pick out every one of them. That will keep my mind off of the meeting tonight. I have choir rehearsal at 5:30 and the meeting at 7. My future with the church will be decided along with the Pastor's.

Off to get some breakfast and balance the checkbook. Everyone have a great day!!

I'll be thinking about you, Judy! At least one way or the other, by tonight you'll have a final answer as to what you're doing, right? I know you're ready for that peace of mind.

My poor cat! So funny! She keeps laying on her placemat and meowing as if to say, "Hey lady! Down here! Forget something? food. NOW." Now she's followed me into the office and is laying on my left arm nudging me. I'm going to keep her here in the office w/me so that when the vet arrives, I know where she is/can contain her. Somehow she knows the sound of the vet's RV and always tries to run away and hide!

That + cleaning the house/getting the guest room ready + grocery shopping + making a nice dinner before the concert + the concert + mom spending the night + a little work thrown in for good measure... my day!

I'm having these weird shooting pains in my head. I took some Tylenol. I'm thinking they're barometric pressure/allergy related. I hope!

If it's not one thing, it's 10 others!

Checkbooks balanced to the penny...wooo hooooo!! Breakfast and pulling seedlings out. I posted it on Facebook and my friend posted a youtube video of "the Lumberjack Song"... what a hoot!!!

Good morning!

I am having an issue with getting paid on my taxing district job and it is driving me nuts. At this point I am ready to just drop it. I really am the kind of person that picks my battles, and really this is not one I want to pick, in the scheme of things it is not that much money, and it is making me feel very uncomfortable. It is not worth it.

I had a really slow day yesterday. Today is really busy.

You know my question that I asked earlier in an email was not answered about where.

Okay off to shower and work!!

Janie, I am gonna post on FB...sorry, that is just the best for me.

Judy, I haven't balanced a checkbook for 20 years. $ comes in...goes out...and usually there is something extra. I hardly write any checks except for the gardener, pool guy and the HOA.

BTW, I put it on FB but didn't post it here, that I am the new Vice President of the Home Owners Ass. where I live!!! That is just funny. Knowing me, like I know me, it is just too suburbia.

already pissed off at coworkers...this happens every year. We are moving next week and now there is all these problems and issues. It is getting ugly already.

Pamela, you don't need to be sorry on my account, Michelle is the one with no access to facebook.

Good afternoon, Violets..

Got all the little seedlings plucked and the flower beds look so much cleaner. Now to get busy on the mulch for them. Bob went to check the water in the pool to make sure it's safe to turn the heater on. I would love to be in it on Friday.

I am getting some positive vibes for the meeting tonight. Got my fingers crossed and hoping for a positive outcome. The people we talked to last night were all ready to fire him on the spot. Guess we made our concerns known to the right people this time. We shall see. Off to shower and get ready for choir.

Good luck tonight Judy. Can't wait to hear the outscome. I have to pack up my desk and stuff tomorrow...ugggg!

Day two of WW is in full swing. I did well yesterday, and great so far today ( I did manage to eat a few sweet tarts, but nothing to kill me). gotta loose that 7 I lost then found again in TX.

xooxox

Off to choir and then the meeting. I have been eating very well since I got back from Texas. Today I've had one string cheese, a WW lunch (4 pts) and that's it. Don't know when we will eat supper. I probably will take some almonds with me to choir.

I didn't weigh when I got back Monday. Didn't want to burst my bubble. I'm going to stay on track and will weigh in at the meeting on Saturday. Hoping not to have gained too much.

Will check back after Modern Family tonight.

Lost another 2lbs this week at WW. Wow, so far 3 3/4lbs in 2 weeks. So I go to WW with a band, I think they don't understand that we still have to have help with our eating.

Good evening, Violets..

Well, we met for 90 minutes. As one of my choir members said when he left.. "he didn't say a damn thing". There is a special meeting with the pastor and then the decision will be made on how to proceed. My decision is easy. June 20th I am done if he stays. I won't go into all the gory details, but suffice it to say I have a major headache and was so glad I was able to be home to see Modern Family and be able to laugh a little.

Everyone have a good evening. Sleep well.

Judy, sometimes meetings can just suck the life out of you instead of doing the intended!! Sorry!!

But, I bet you will never sing Ave Maria the same!!!

Sleep good!!!!!!!!!
