I can't believe it...I am the only one reading this thread???? Amazing. Must be because everyone is on the travel thread. I LOVE YOU TERRY!!! Guess where I wanna go!

I am COMPLETELY IN for Terry's idea. The Green place and the Alamo. You laid it out beautifully...and I am totally sold. Green is my vote (I don't have time to spell green correctly)

Violets~ Chime in on travel thread please!!!

I could go for either one...but am leaning towards TX. However, where is Michelle, Judy, Laura, etc on this? Branson sounds great too. Never been to either. Hey, how far is TX from Graceland??? KIDDING:lol:

My 2 cents: I like TX or Tracy's thing. Tracy's thing has the indoor pool for michelle's areobics class. Is that doable for Jenn? I like how we are starting to narrow this down. Tracy's thing has relaxing things as well as activities! Ideas, opinion, suggestions????

Dumb question alert? Did I read wrong or do we have to have an RV? :pray2:

LOL, Laura... I was wondering about Miss Temptress. The show was great last night, it is always good to get back into it. I like the little African American girl w/ the special need daughter. She was a doll and had some serious pipes. Star Trek chick was out to lunch! Michelle, we know your busy...time to pop in and say hi to your sistas.

How about the largest Ball of Twine! If we take our picture under it...we will all look SOOO small. LOL I like the place Terry suggested, except the rooms look a bit romantic. INCERT JOKES HERE.:eek:

Now we are thinking. Could we start a dialogue w/ brainstorming suggestions? How far is Graceland from Jenn? Atlantic City, Vegas, Tahoe (this from someone who doesn't gamble)... Anywhere. I like the hotel idea too, plus the fact that we can fly in and just be there. Chicago? DC? Col.? Phoenix is not too expensive (Susanne owns a home there and my MIL lives there) Graceland? Memphis? Florida? Texas? Anyone????

Morning V's~ Susie, I write every cal. down. For 1/2 c. cottage cheese I write 100B or 100S for the snack packs, etc. I was writing the food down but what I really want is the cal count so I changed. I write on a calendar, that way I can see past and it lends itself to neatly keep records. PURPLE POWER Jenn! Let us know how it goes! Kinda crazy day here for me. It is minimum day. We are all gooing out to lunch, then we have meetings and Jackie made homemade (close your eyes everyone) choc. choc. chip Cookies w/ Peanut Butter AND homemade salsa. I think I am going to bring some of my chips cause they are reduced fat....I am ALL over that salsa. Then we are going to the store quickly to buy appetizers for a baby shower from 3-5...then, you guessed it...JAZZERCISE! The nice part will be coming home to Susanne tonight! She is coming in early for the long weekend! Have a great day! xoxoxoxo:lol: ooo new smilies. Hey, that mean guy is gone???

I suggested the name. We were banded in April so we wanted to go w/ a spring theme. Now we are violet strong!

Susie, I LOL'd on "have a good weekend!" Talk about Freudian slip! I'll say a prayer for the family. That is terribly sad. I am home from dance class. I swear, the last 2 days, I am working my butt off and getting a good sweat, but I can't seem to give it my 100%. I am so glad tomorrow is day 3 of the period and starts to ease up a bit! Man...this one was a doozey (sp).When they were going push ups...I just laid there. Welcome back Gina! I am w/ you...living around 249-252 for ever. Haven't weighed in a few days cause of TOM...praying for a wooshhh. I am still floored by that student w/ the periods. I pray for strength. My poor students have been working their butts off the last 2 days, Ms. K is NOT in a good mood! Jenn~ OOOO honey....sending you bunches of PURPLE POWER for your interview tomorrow!! Keep us posted on how it went. Wear something that makes you feel confident and assertive. If you FEEL good, it will come across. And good for you winning against dbf! Wonder how the movie was for Kat! I LOVE going to the movies, especially when everyone else is working. TracyK and Jane~ I LOVELOVELOVE American Idol! So glad it is coming back. Have you all watched Dance Wars? I know it is cheesy, but at the same time, I love the singing and dancing. Tracy...almost time for BB! Too much TV, so little time! TTFN xoxoxoxoxo

Susie, I am in! Central is great, but I can fly to east coast too! Whatever, but we need direction. How close are you to Graceland? Are we out on Tunica? The cost is about 250 per person, but that is still doable. And wont we pay that or close to it ANYWHERE? Hey, look at that mean new smilie down there:mad2: he's ugly! :doh:funny

Laura, I'll help if I can. I am not not not too good...just school Spanish etc. Haydee might be a better resource. But between the 2 of us we probably can help a lot. Plus the Cindy is a Spanish teacher! Your covered!

Susie~ Lookin' good honey. I am feakin pissed to the max. I asked the kids to write a 2 paragraph Quick Write on the science movie. I had one student put a whole bunch of words on the page. I looked at it, then at him and he could tell I was not happy. This is what he said to me: "Well, it is done, I just didn't have enough time to go back put all the period in." This with a straight face! O' Dios Mio...HELP!

roflmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always wanted to go to Texas. Am I tooo left for Texas? Gay, liberal Demo???

I FOUND MY PEOPLE!!! I've miss you all! Kat~ I am in "talks" w/ the doc about it. Especially w/ the bad pap, etc. Will know more next month. Glad the violets are back up and running. I pm'd Laura and asked, "where the hell are the violets"! OK...gotta work, lol

Terry~You know me very well! LOL! I had an abnormal pap last Aug, and I'll go back in Feb for a "redo". He gave me a chart to track my TOM's and I will bring this to show him. I can''t keep my eyes open...wish I didn't take that damn pill last night. OH well...gotta carry on. Have a great day!

Hey V's~ I am in a complete fog. I had such bad cramps last night. I ended up taking a muscle relaxer w/ hot coco and went to bed early. But I can't seem to open the old eyes up today. Those pills last a long time I guess. My TOM is soooo hard these days. Besides being 2x a month, they kick my butt. From my waist to my knees...oooouuucccchhhhh! Any Golfers out there? The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic started yesterday. Tons of celebs are here...blah blah blah...which means traffic sucks. Off for some am scrabble!!! Have a great day everyone! xoxoxoxoxoxox

Laura, Can we still go and get a block of rooms at a discounted rate? How much are the rooms anyway? Just cause they are not free, doesn't mean this is a wash, right? I mean, we were gonna drop some $ on the other thingy too, plus airfare. Anyone wanna come to Palm Springs? Just kidding, or am I:cool:?

Hey Jenn! What is up girl? Well, I am back from dance class. I have really bad cramps today...and boy, can I feel it. I worked out hard and I feel better...but totally pooped. TOM has me whipped out this month. Came home and had baked salmon w/ fresh pico do gallo (OMG so good) and steamed broc w/ 1/4 c/ of skim cheddar! Pretty good huh? Acutally the salmon was the bomb! Need to make it again soon. Ok, gonna grade a few papers then watch some TV and hit the hay early! Have a great night! xoxoxoxoxoxooxoxox

LMAO...I think my dance card is full! Yeah, have your parents go too!

Hey Violets~ Just popping in to say hi! I hope everyone is having a great day! I have BAD cramps and am looking forward to working out later. Exercise will make me feel SOOOO much better. I remember the days when I said, "a pain pill makes me feel so much better" lol. 1 bottle of Water down! Starting to work on #2. I was craving something sweet after lunch. My family is from the south and we used to say, "we need something to cut the grease". Anyway, I popped in a sf piece of gum and that really helped. Haydee, you will LOVELOVELOVE Juno! I need to see Atonement, but will probably wait until DVD now. Well, that is all for me. Talk to everyone later! xoxoxo
