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?

Morning girls~ Judy, I will look at pix tomorrow after school! I have to finish my 13 page paper today and BA is coming over until 7 to work on it!!! I, after 4 days off, just got home from the gym!!! 30 solid min on the big E and didn't even have to stop or slow!!! Raining like cats and dogs and it is 63 degreesss!!! bBBRRRRRR! pop in later! xoxo Judy and Michell, I will be depositing the checks on Friday. I put the $ in for you (and Kat). Thank you so much! They haven't burried them yet...still fighting w/ the young kids birth father over remains. But the $$ is tucked away in an account...thank you all for being so generous! xoxoxoox Where is Laura!!

YEAH...JUDY IS BACK! Proud of you on your bandstander ways!! I am pooped and gonna play a game of scrab...and try to finish my book...92% done, but it is a big one! xoox

Hey Girls~ Judy...so glad your back, cant wait to hear all about the trip! Walking!!! OMG...is Carson walking too?? No rest for you ever again! Back is still a bit painful. I am really trying to rest it and haven't worked out since Friday. I think that is ok because I worked out Friday w/ a very hurt back...that made it so bad Friday. When I was banded, I was told that this would take about 50% of my weight loss away. Like, I wanted to lose 100 lbs and that I would probably lose 50 lbs. That is exactly what I was told. I was still happy w/ that because I didn't want the other surgery at all. I lost 30 then gained about 10 back...and I bounce around at that #. But honestly, if I didn't get the band, I'd be 30 pounds heavier (10 pound @ 3 years)...and I was smoking. My band doc flatly said he would NOT work w/ a smoker. So, I am still happy...but yes, I'd like to lose more. It is my responsibility, plain and simple. Gonna be a rainy week all week...I guess winter has arrived! Yes, we are off today. We did nothing all weekend...time to go to store etc! have a great day girls! xooxxoxo

Didn't see Janies post...Janie and I are here. :w00t::thumbup:

Hey Girls~ Sad Sad Sad...nobody is here to post! We did NOTHING all day yesterday! Literally, I am still in the pj's I put on Friday night! I made pulled pork and steamed zuccinis and we chilled! My back is tweaked this weekend trying not to "use" it too much. I am 70% done w/ Middlesex (don't know what page, but it says 70% done, lol) hoping to finish it today. Next up is Andre Agasi's autobiography, Open. Ok...off to see if more papers need to be uploaded. have a great weekend!

Damn...sorry I missed you Michelle! Bon Voyage...have a WONDERFUL TIME!!! Yesterday I worked on my paper for 4 hours (made a small dent) and my back was tweaked. I woke w/ it a bit tweaked...then worked out. Sitting for hours didn't help. Spent the afternoon on the couch, took a pain pill,and blah! Already on the couch today...plan to stay here all day too! Welcome back Judy...Adios Michelle...Where is Haydee, Laura, Jane, Heather! HELLO!!! HAPPY WEEKEND

Hey girls~ took today off to write my paper. BA is here and we are about to get started...bbl

The movie was good. I said this morning I was gonna email ya'll and forgot. It was not that big of a deal...will explain later, but it was not what I thought! Fun shopping spree Michelle~ Woohoo...2 days! Then Judy comes back the day you leave right. Where is everybody? xoxo

Hey Girls~ I'll send an email about the movie! I am tired...and sooo glad we slept in this morning! Taking tomorrow off to write my National Board Certification paper...I have a 13 page paper due next Thursday and had to grade 32 papers this week...only to have 32 more coming in on Sunday:eek:. So, I have to take the day just to get my paper done. Michelle, I love your recent postings...thank you! I bet you are getting crazy excited now! Everyone have a good day...I'll pop in from work! xoxoxo

Will there be sopapilla cheesecake on the menu?? Haha

HaHa...have I told you all that I love you lately? You make me smile!

Good morning Violets~ Michelle, that sounds devine, hair, mani, pedi! aaahhh! Enjoy every indulgent moment! When do you leave for Mex? Remind me...I am old! Stayed up until 9:30 last night and could barely get through my cardio workout. I MUST go to bed by 8:30 or my body doesn't work well the next day...but I did it. Taking tomorrow off and am HAPPY. We are going to the Secret Super Surprise movie tonight. We have no idea what it is gonna be about and had to sign a waiver swearing we wouldn't speak about it, especially to the media. My GUESS is that it is a major blockbuster type that we get to see early. I'll let you know as much as I can later. Gotta put my face on. Jane, I hope you found some generic something...that is crazy. Walmart says all generic meds are 4 buckeroos! Sorry about this! Hey Laura...we miss you! Did I tell you that we raised $12, 700 for Ciria! Judy, Michelle and Kat you kind and very generous contributions were beyond thoughtful! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! xoox

grading papers...blah! what is the press release??? Please post link for me! xooxox

Jane, even generic was that much? That is crazy!

Hey Ladies, The presentation went great!!! It was a wonderful sense of community and the recipients were so appreciative! I didn't stutter too bad. Michelle, I loved what you wrote (or pasted) about exercise. I started the eliptical at 7 min in June. Right now, I am not pushing myself too much...just doing 30 min and doing 2.2(sometimes 2.25) miles. It kills me, and is just enough for me. I do cardio and weights every other day. Today, I was so tired because Klausy was dreaming and he slept next to the closet, so he kept kicking it. I finally got up and had to move him. Then Sus had heartburn, and then Klausy wanted to go outside. LOL...we were up from 12-1 with all this. So when the alarm rang this am...I about died. But I got up and did it. I think of Michelle Obama when I am doing arms. I love it! Tomorrow is cardio again, then Thursday I am taking the day off since we have a 7pm movie on Wed. You have to go to bed by 8:30 in order to get up so early. But, I am not skipping a cardio day! Last night, we went to Billy's after the presentation. I ordered a glass of white wine. I hadn't had anything since my salad at 10:30am. OMG that hit me hard...it was fun! I couldn't eat the chili I ordered...I said it was too spicy so they took it off the bill! Today is minimum day. The kids are in the MAC lab now (w/ me) and they are taking a test for Teen Biz. Then we have a mtg this afternoon...blah! The good part is we get to go out to lunch. The bad part is we are going to Carls Jr. LOL...will I order a salad? Probably not, they have the Green Burrito in there...I am sure it will be Mex food!:thumbup::) Everyone have a good day!

Hey girls~ I don't know if I've told you but today, for the City...I (we all are) will be presenting the Community Service Awards on behalf of HRC. I nominated that lady I worked with on the Structural Racism summitt. She wont be there because she is presenting in New Orleans on Racial Equity. I have prepared and have to give a 3-4 short paragraph speech to the audience...and it is supposed to be on the news. I'll post the link if I am on the news! HOW MANY POUNDS TO THE CAMERAS ADD??? Wish me luck and send me skinny thoughts! Janie...YOU ARE AN IMPORTANT CALL...make them work for it...and feel better soon!

I love it Michelle~ Thanks. I agree...celebrate everything we do to better ourselves...because we deserve it!

Wakey Wakey Girls~ I kicked ass on the eliptical while my sweetheart slept in! Yeah me...that was tough since I got dressed to go to the gym, then laid next to her for a minute for a cuddle...lol...I could've stayed there but was good and got up! Busy day...I'll post more from work! Happy it is Monday! xoxoxo

Good Morning V's~ Off to another movie this am. First up is the grocery store...real quick run in and out. We have to be in line by 8:30. Yesterday, I give the first movie a 90%. Susanne gives it a 70. The second movie was great...then it just stopped, there was no closure and it pissed me off. LOL...I want my 2 hours back. After the morning movie, home for football and grading papers! Make it a good one girls! xoxoxo

Hey Girls~ Did 1 hour and 20 min at the gym...20 min elip, abs, arms, back, obliques, more arms,...kicked my own ass! Personal best on the elip too! Came home and dunked 3 small xmas cookies (almost gone) into the coffee! haha... Michell, OWN THAT BEACH GIRL! Pull the girls up...work that sarong (sp) and walk around like your shit IS HOT!! It is all about the attitude! Sexy comes from within!! Judy texted me from LA. Can't believe she is this close...but still so far. LA is crazy. Only 2 hours away but worlds away! Laura, I hope the boys and you feel better soon! Jane, when should I send a check...I am ready and want a puple one for sure! Friends that tweeze together stay together! We saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo last night...AMAZING!!! It was in Swedish but sooo great and easy to follow. I loved it, but think we were the only ones who hadnt read the book. I came home and downloaded it last night. The lady next to Susanne (the house was packed, completely...and the house seats 1100...it was at our high school) ate some sushi crap that had this juice shit everywhere. She got it all over her hand. So I smelled it the entire time. That plus the guy (or gal) in front of us who kept "rippin' 'em off" (passing gas) the entire night. So I smelled ginger farts all night. AND I STILL LOVED THE MOVIE! Haha...it was great. Today is "On These Shoulder We Stand" about the LGBT community in California in the 40's etc. And tonight is "White Ribbon" which I think is a German movie. We love the festival! Meet so many cool people. OK...gonna take my little baby for a walk. I love the big guy and he didn't get a walk yesterday cause we were busy! PS~ Sorry...but I am wearing shorts and a tank top for our walk. 75 today!

Janie, order me 3 pair too please...I need some cheap good ones. They are hella expensive!!

One of our little (looks around and see's Judy is gone) FUCKWADS threw a hat at me today in the hallway. Gotta love middle school!

Leave the water running a tad to prevent freezing. That is what we had to do in Reno. We see our first movie tonight, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! Then tomorrow we see, On These Shoulders We Stand. Then one Sat night, then one Sunday morning (Sus sees one Sunday night). We are looking forward to it...we love the film festival and it is so fun to see these types of movies. Did you tweeze the hair? I have tweezers in my purse, desk and home...the best light is outside, love to get 'em in the car! xoxoxo

Hey Girls~ Michelle, no not me...Laura's uncle (I love that we know who he is) bet 5k on the game. I lost 5 bucks this season on a game and am not over that yet. I finished 5 workouts in 5 days!!!! So proud of me! Did 3 days of cardio and 2 of lifting weights. Will do both tomorrow, 20 min of each. OK>..off to manipulate the minds of the future! I'll pop in from work! xoxo
