Welcome Suzie! Jump in we are chatty!

I had a dream about a baby. Susanne brought me this little girl, she was about 1 and her name was Sandy. I loved this little thing. She didn't speak English so I was speaking Spanish to her. She was beautiful. I thought about her all day. No I don't want one. Well, maybe, I'd take her:D

Checking in on Cut the Crap Day! So far so good. I am proud of myself. I can do this I can do this. My motivation...249 tomorrow. My TOM is due today and I think that will help push me over! Yeah us! Michelle, Don't be upset...you can do it. Just eat slow and stop when your full, even if it is a bit more than before. You'll get through this! I miss Judy and Kat! xoxoxoxoxox

Amanda! Welcome back to us!!! Glad to hear the good news!

2nd attempt at a post... Happy Cut the Crap Day! I am at 250 this am...remember how long I was at 254, so I am not complaining. I just think I will hit the floor if I ever see 24something. Perhaps cut the crap day will help! Laura~What is the word w/ Secret Santa? No pressure, just like to have my shopping done by the 1st of Dec. (goal anyway). That way, the month of Dec. I decorate, make cookies and enjoy the holiday! Of course, I won't have a cookie on Tues or Thurs (haha). Christmas is on a Tuesday this year, may have to take that day off from Cut the Crap Day! Jenn~ at the pre conference meeting w/ my doctor (seminar) he joked that doctors call the band the holiday band. Lots of people will request an unfill for the months of Nov and Dec. Then in Jan they are crying begging for a fill. I say indulge a little (not on Tues or Thurs). But then again, I've only lost 30 so wtf do I know:faint:. Have a great day! I have a meeting until 6 and Susanne is coming home for the long weekend. It has been 2 long weeks and I can't wait! oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxo

Tracy, You own it girl! I am 252 this am...my lowest since the band was 250. I am proud of my loss, could be more, could be less. Everyone's successes keep all of us motivated. I know it will happen for me too, hell, it is happening. I am exercising, no bread, rice or pasta (have had small amounts of pasta, capellini) I drink about 50 oz of water, and I've been exercising. I feel fabulous and can't complain! Own it honey, you deserve it! I bought that talipia (sp) but my study buddy is here tonight and she likes salmon. So, I am baking salmon now, artichoke hearts to top, w/ fresh dill (yum), small salad, and steamed veggies. Thanks Terry for the suggestion. Susanne and I will try the other fish this weekend! have a good afternoon! xoxoxox

Terry, I am in for a Tues/Thurs ban! That is a great idea. Then if we start freakin out, we know we only have to survive the day! Cut the Crap Days Too Tight T Days (Too Tight, as in my pants) Healthy T Days BACK AWAY FROM THE JUNK DAYS Who else is in? I am sure, most of you NEVER eat junk food, so this won't apply to you, lol! GO VOTE!!! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!

My vote is for Splash Mountain! I wanna go to Michelles class. The Ritz is too much. Does anyone foresee anyone backing out. It is time to put up or shut up, lol. I think for all of us, Beats Workin is a bit small!

Terry, Thanks. I am gonna try that tongith! Man, that made my mouth water!

Morning Violets~ Haydee and TracyKS~ I hope your feeling ok this morning. Tracy your son is too cute. Haydee have fun w/ the fam in Mex! TracyK~ are you freakin kidding me? 190...your officially, yep, you guessed it...a skinny biotch!:Banane20::Banane34::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20:Congrats honey. Jenn~ Your babies are too cute too! And yes, they look just like you, especially dd. That Cars cake looked great! Michelle~ Hang tough! When is your fill? Moved back to when? Terry~ Wish I could join you for dinner. You know what I am having trouble with is what to eat. I gotta pop over to the food thread. Prob is, I am alone most of the week. I don't wanna cook too much just for me. Last night I had some cottage cheese, then went to bed hungry. Haydee's chili sounded great, but again...too much for just me. I do have my turkey spaghetti sauce that I take a cup to lunch every day. But dinner sucks. I think I am gonna pick up some salad stuff for tonight. Well, I slept like shit. Sorry, no other word for it. I rolled over and laid (is that the right word or is is layed???) there and thought, wow, it must be time for alarm....no it was 11:30!:faint::faint::faint: The rest of the night was pretty much the same. Needless to say, I was out of the shower by 5 am. Gonna go in early so I can see what mess the sub left me. Hope everyone has a great day! Just got word that my MIL is doing Thanksgiving here (last few years we've gone out). So, German shnitzle, (lots of other things I can't pronounce or spell). Lawd, give me strength! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Sorry I got Haydee and TracyKS sick! Go see your doc early, that is my advice. I gotta go do work, and yet, I keep lurking here! Angie~ I think Wallyworld closes on Thanksgiving night to prepare for Black Friday. Ours is open 24/7 too, but that is what they do. You couldn't pay me enough to go stand in line so early. Every year on the news they show all the fights etc. Old people kickin ass for something. It is quite funny actually. Maybe I should go just to get a laugh. Back to work xoxoxox(germ free kisses of course)

Hey Angie~ Welcome back! TracyKS~ OOOOO I am sick about those tickets. I swear, I am physically sick about it...ooo, wait, maybe that is the sinus infection I'm dealing with. Either way, my heart broke a little for you (actually a lot). Well went to doc and he said it was a good thing I did. My ears are inflamed, my nose is inflamed, and he said if I waited much longer, it would've gone into the lungs. He gave me strong anitbiotics (I am really sick), allergy meds and a nasal spray. I was crying this morning...just can't stand it anymore. So, I came home and look a siesta and now I gotta do some work. Have a great day! xoxoxoxo

Terry~ ((Said w/ the most love in the world))...your officially a skinny biotch! 180 is my goal weight! Honestly, I've always said 170-180 would be great for me! Did you think I'd skip your boobs??? Here they come!:Banane20::Banane20::waytogo::Banane20::puke::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20:You rock it girl. TracyKS~ Leave DH at home and take me to Garth!! PPPLLLEEEEAASSSEEEE! I am beyond freakin jealous. I love love love Garth, and I am not even officially a country girl...just can't get enough of Garth! Haydee~ I'd love to see jlo too. I have her and Garth all over my ipod. I am glad you had fun, but yes, I am jealous jealous jealous. Jane~ Too cool. Can't wait to see your "15 min of fame"!!! I finally have an appointment w/ doctor tomorrow. I've been sick for 8 days now, and actually can't work like this anymore. I took tomorrow off and will see the doc in the am. Can't wait to be on the mend. My head is too foggy and has been for too long. Have a good night. I need to grade some papers and then hit the sheets!

Jane, That is so cool. No one would want to interview me, especially this week. But I must admit, the clothes I am wearing are too baggy, I look like a hobo (no offense to the hobos in the world). Good for you!

ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD AGAIN!!! AHHHHH! LAURA~ Glad you liked it! It made all my co workers giggle! Well, I've take tomorrow off and I am going to the doctor. I can't stand being sick anymore. It has been going on since last Tuesday and there is no change. My head is just toooo stuffy, and frankly it is too hard to work. I am jazzed to be going to doctor! I'll check in tonight. I hate hate hate it when LBT is down. I miss my girlies! xoxoxoxo:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

I started to email this to everyone, but that took too long. A couple of you may get it in an email too, but thought I'd post it here. Enjoy and have a great day! xoxoxox A WOMAN'S WEEK AT THE GYM This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine. Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, my daughter (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me.Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Belinda, who identified herself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My daughter seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress. MONDAY: Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Belinda waiting for me. She is something of a Greek goddess - with blonde hair,dancing eyes and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!! Belinda gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which she conducted her aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring! Belinda was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time she was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week-!! TUESDAY: I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Belinda made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then she put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. Belinda's rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT-!! It's a whole new life for me! WEDNESDAY: The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot! Belinda was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. Her voice is a little too perky for early in the morning, and when she scolds, she gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying. My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Belinda put me on the stair monster. Why the Hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Belinda told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. She said some other s**t, too. THURSDAY : Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late, it took me that long to tie my shoes. Belinda took me to work out with dumbbells. When she was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom!! She sent another little skinny thing to find me. Then, as punishment, she put me on the rowing machine -- which I sank. FRIDAY : I hate that Belinda more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic little cheerleader. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it. Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the darned barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director? SATURDAY : Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her made me want to smash the machine with my planner. However, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel. SUNDAY : I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my daughter (the little s**t) will choose a gift for me that is fun -- like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!

Now that made me really LOL! I think we are official BAND SNOBS! Or is that banned snobs???:help:

I don't look like a lesbian:spy::Banane20::Banane20: Always keep em guessing!

Terry~ How'd your son do on his SAT's. I know he wont know, but how does he feel about it. Kat~ Don't work too hard. You need to rest and prepare your body for surgery. Please try to post...gosh, a week w/o Judy and the possibility of you being MIA...toooo much for my brain. TracyKS~ Where the hell are you? Maybe it is just my stuffy head but is seems you've been flying under the radar. Denise~ Thanks for the info. I agree and didn't want any antibiotics again. On a good note, I had not had any for 23 months. The weird thing is I've never had any sinus stuff, so this is new to me. I am allergic to shell fish and grass, but never anything like this. Anywho, I miss my Susanne:(. Have a great night everyone! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo PS~ I know this wont apply to many Violets, but Kid Rock's new CD Rock and Roll Jesus is the best CD I've bought in a long time. Every song is great. So all my rockin Violets, you may want to check it out. Even if you don't like him, but like classic/southern rock...you might be surprised!:rockon::rockon::rockon:

Hey Violets~ What a busy day, and harder since I feel crappy. Got the fridge in and set up by 9am, cleaned up the dog poop and swept the back porch (great for the nose now) by 9:45, showered and was ready (sans "my face on" all day) by 10:15, had contractor come over and give me a bid on my garage (needs to be dry walled w/ tons of wood to be removed), then quickly drove up to Yucca Valley to see my neices soccer game. Then lunch me w/ the 3 kids (8,6,3) (i was good, hamberger no bun no cheese, small salad). Then down the hill (Yucca is about 35 min away) and the grocery story. WOW...I've been running since 7am. Thanks for the advice. I bought some Sina suda stuff, not sure which one. I think I need to ask the pharm for the good stuff. I will try to stick it out. Last time I was sick, 3 weeks ago, I needed antibiotics. Fever, body aches, totally different than now. I appreciate all the input Violets, thanks! Have a great evening everyone! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hiya Violets~ Kat~ When are you leaving? I don't know if I remember reading that. Have fun. Too bad you couldn't see Terry and Tracy and Haydee while your there. The fridge is black. The stainless steel is too hard to keep clean. We were looking for a satina finish, but couldn't find it in the french doors. I am so excited about the freezer on the bottom (drawer) and the 2 door top! Finally I can see all the top, instead of having a rotting onion in the bottom drawer that I never see. Terry~ Deep breaths. Do something special w/ you fam later this weekend. Sending your ds all the violet purple power for his SAT's. I had a combined 1290...not great, but hey, I did ok;). I went to happy hour yesterday! I had my 1 shot of Patron tequilla and then water. Had fun, it was great to "unwind". We all had so much fun. I don't usually go to those things because Susanne is just coming into town or I am going there. Sometimes we go together. Including myself, there were 3 teachers in tears yesterday...we needed a drinky-poo:beer:! I am pissed about this and need some advice. I am suffering w/ what I think is a sinus infection. Remember, at the beginning of the month I was sick. Went and got antibiotics and was better in a week (what a shitty week that was, I hate being sick). Anyway, Tuesday morn I woke up w/ some of the same symptoms. As the week has progressed it has become a bit worse. I had a flu shot on Oct 18 (hey, I work w/ kids...I HAVE to get one). So this time my "sickness" has not become the body aches etc...just in my head. My nose, ears and you should hear this sexy voice I am sporting (sound like a 70 yr old man). Anyway...my question to the violets...what should I do? Primary doc? My allergist? Over the counter? I've never had this and never ever had a reoccuring thingy. Do I need antibiotics? I know this is TMI, but yes, it is yellowish. Help! Well, I gotta go clean the fridge quick! They should be here in an hourish. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I hear you Tracy! Come on May!!!

This is a first...no posts since this morning. I'll fix that. 1 hour and 2o minutes until 1:50!!!! Thank God, Praise the Lord. I've been counting the minutes. I get my new fridge tomorrow!!! It is a Amana AFI2538AE 25 Cu. Ft. Ice and Easy French Door Refrigerator with In-Door Water and Ice FrontFill Dispenser ...well, I'll just let you take a look! Other than that work work work here for me this weekend. Susanne has drill weekend and wont be home. It is Palm Springs Pride, but I'll stay home and get some things done (lol, watch tv). What is going on w/ everyone this weekend? Terry, how is mom? Judy~ If I don't get a chance...enjoy your vacation! I swear, you have a wonderful life! You deserve the best. We can't wait to see the pix! peaceout

Yeah Michelle, That did it for me. I am pumped for the trip and now I know I can make it through the day. I've been thinking of the purple prizes for my violets moving it to May! This has been the longest freakin week! I can't believe it is finally Friday. That really bad student was placed in Special Ed/Day classes on Wednesday, and yesterday was WONDERFUL w/o him. I wish him the best, but some where else. I am supposed to weigh today, but not gonna do it. I only worked out 1x all week and had candy. So, next week! have a great day! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

LOL, Jane... I vote Ethan too! xoxxoxoxoxo
