Good Morning Girls~ Judy that is cool about the church and the tree. Take pictures of the tree! My bff from college is coming today for a few days! Really looking forward to it! I am reading a great book, Middlesex. Not saying I suggest it, but I am really enjoying the story. It is NOT my usual genre, but I am using the text-talk feature and have enjoyed listening it it! Sus is at the gym and I took the day off. aaaahhhhhh! Have a great day!

Morning Girls~ Judy we've got celebrities here! Perhaps your friends want to come out here on Sat. We can go to Bing Crosby's resturaunt, see Bob Hope's house...we could even do a celebrity tour. I know Lindsey Lohan won't be here...but it would be FANTASTIC to have lunch w/ you!!! I can't wait to meet the Bobster...and for you to meet Susanne. Then when we meet in Texas we will all be old friends. Well we had a wonderful Christmas! So great w/ fun, food, relaxing and Klausy. He is the best present I got!!! Been working on his training outside, then him coming in and "watching tv". He is beyond sweet...and doesn't miss the kittys at all! Went to the gym again this am...and exceeded my personal best! I LOVE that. Just went farther in the same 30 min. My skin looks great, I am sleeping like a rock...and I feel ready. Now, I came home and dipped cookies into my coffee...but once the cookies are gone, I'll be back in the game. Out of the last 10 days, I've worked out 8!!! Pretty impressed w/ myself...and need to keep it up. I was up at 5:30 this morning heading to the gym!!! Well, we snuggled in the flannel sheets for about 20 min...then I went!! Today MIL is leaving, Sus has an appointment but we will go to Billy Reeds for lunch before MIL leaves! Then home to CHILLAX...then my bff from college comes tomorrow afternoon for a couple days of margies and massages! Have a wonderful day everyone! xooxoxox

Judy, How long are you in LA for??? I am only 2 hours away...would LOVE to see you. I am working that week, but if you can get out here...let me know! OMG...just got REALLY excited thinking about you coming here. Could this really work?? woohoo...now I won't be able to sleep tonight! I just started a new book, Middlesex. It is really good so far, and made Oprah's booklist. My step mom read it and thought I'd like it. I am using the text talk feature. It is mechanical, but the book is kinda not my genre...not enough dialogue, but listening to it and reading it at the same time is great!

Merry Christmas Violets~ We had a wonderful Christmas Eve! We had a traditional German dinner (schnitzle and warm potato salad w/ vinegar and oil)mmmmmmmmmm. Then we did presents!!! I got a 100 gift card, perfume, a purple mouse for my new puter!!! I also got my ipod (but got it before). We didn't make it to mass. Sooo tired. We MIGHT go to 10am...depends. Slept in! The gym opens up at 8 today...woke up at 7:30 and got ready...going now! I took yesterday off, don't want to start that again! Wishing all my girlies an amazing holiday w/ family, fun, friends, food and all the fabulous-ness of the season! xooxxoxoxo

Guten Morgan Violets~ I am blessed to have such an amazing group of women to call as my dearest friends! I wish Santa is very nice to you and that you all find the peace and joy this holiday season offers! Eat the cookies, drink the egg nog (or margie), hug the fam damily, laugh out loud and cherish all you have! We will be going to take mom flowers, then home to eat, do presents, eat, etc. Then midnight mass (which we will be there about 11pm). Then we come home, have an egg nog and a nip of Jack Daniels (not sure about the rest of them...but I am having a nip), then sleeping in...watching TV and staying in our pjs allllll day tomorrow!!! AAHHHH!!! PS...Klausy watched The Hangover w/ us last night. He thought it was very good!

Hey Girls~ Woke up and went to the gym, but forgot my iPod:mad:...only did a PAINFUL 20 min on the eliptical because the music in the gym SUCKS! I did the ass machine though...did 60 @ 90 lbs. I'll be very sore tomorrow!! MIL comes later. Sus is grumpy, cleaning, has an apt., so I am just trying to stay the hell out of her way! Jane, we had tons of rain last week...but I don't think that is what your getting now. I think that is what dumped on Michelle last week. Haydee, your funny. I had a visual of you complaining about the jeans and eating a sugar cookie. Michelle too. I came home from the gym and dunked 3 cookies into my coffee!!! WTF? Judy, how excited...new key and new office! Take some pix! How far is this away from home? OK...off to look busy. Key word: LOOK! xooxxoxoxo

I LOVE the pic too Judy...beautiful! Off to shower! then to the movies!

LOL...try that again!

Hey girlies~ Had a fun day! The sopapilla cheesecake squares were a hit!!! OMG, they were gone sooo fast. I made 3 big ones, each one cut into 24 which = 72 squares. They were gone so fast, and people were pissed that some took too many pieces. My friend said, OMG...these are HEAVEN...I said, that is funny, we call 'em EVIL! My friends all yelled out, "OMG...Pam brought the EVIL!!" when I walked in! I gave huge props to my violets and Terry!!! Then Jenny, Sus and I went to the mall to buy Annette some bling. Jenny picked a beautiful necklace, and I ended up buying Susanne 1 karat diamond earrings!!! They are princess cut, and spectacular!!! More than I planned on spending, but she is worth it, loves them...and now I don't have to see her old ones that her ex gave her!!! Then we came home and Klausy came in and watched TV for a couple of hours w/ us! I am going to try to post some pix! Wish me luck! xoxoxo

Hey Girls~ Home from the gym and went to the grocery store while I was all sweaty...looked like a hot mess! I am making 3 big sopapilla cheesecakes to take to the cookie exchange. Going to cool them really good then cut into "cookie sizes". Thanks Janie and Judy for your receipe suggestions...but went w/ this because my friend begged me! She is a huge fan of the SC!! Judy, I wish I could join a chior! I love to sing and think it is a great outlet. I have that on my bucket list (sooner rather than later) for sure. Too busy now...but you know I likes the busy! Going to the cookie exchange later. Should be fun to hang w/ the girls! Klausy update: He came in and watched TV in his "place" for an entire 1/2 of a football game (about an hour and half). He relaxed and we had a great time. Going to "watch tv" later w/ him as well! Tomorrow, we will work on formal training again...he is such a lover. Wanted to change his "place" to sit on our leather couch ON Susanne's lap. We had to change his mind quickly! I'll take pix later of the beast watching TV! Have an amazing day ladies! I love you all! Viva La Violetas!

Hey Girls~ Day 2 of training went much better; well at least there was no blood shed, but the day is early. Susanne and I are not on the same page. She thinks he is too big for the house, and while I agree I paid a shit load of $ to do this training. $650 to be exact. So hopefully we can come to an understanding. aarrgggg!

Hey Girls~ I am typing my first official post from my new puter!!! It is sooo pretty (purple of course) and I am still figuring it all out. I will use my "old" Vista one until the end of the term which is next Sunday. Then I can start my new term on this one. Plus, it is a tax write off for Walden! The Easy Transfer is a pain in the ass...ain't nuttin easy about it. But for now, I am getting set up. On the phone now to get my itunes transferred over, and will work on pix later. As soon as this is done, I am gonna work w/ Klausy for a bit! Wish me luck, haha, just kidding! xoxo Have a great day!

Judy, I LOVE THE GRADY MEETS SANTA PIC! OMG that was too funny! Had a wonderful night. Went to dinner, then went to the Living Desert to see Wild Lights! We walked around, had hot coco and it was beautiful! My step mom got us gift certificates to Billy Reeds, fav place and the movies! And, she gave me my great grandmother's wedding ring. My great grandpa gave it to her in 1894, and it has been earmarked for me since I was born. She said she felt ready to give it to my. It was her wedding ring for 35 years, and is feeling ready to accept that she is a widdow, and she doesn't want to wear her wedding ring. She is wearing two others that dad gave her. I am BEYOND honored and surprised. While I've known I was going to get it, I didn't expect it for many many years to come. I am going to put it in my safety deposit box and give it to either my nephew or give it to his daughter one day. I miss my dad! Love you guys!

Actually Michelle, you have painted a great pic ofyour day. We've been outside all day w/ Klausy wearing shorts and tank tops. OMG, Klausy was exhausted and bit the trainer, and scratched him...and I cried! Scared the shit out of me. But they made up and all was great. He was worked very hard, and came in and was exhausted and the guy (Kenyon is his name) said it was really his fault cause I didn't watch Klausy's body language. To stop the attack, he choked Klausy...f^%k I am still shaking...but it is ok now. Day one down. Now we have to work w/ Klausy w/ his collar etc. It is a wireless remote collar. wowser. Need a shower and step mom will be here at 2! bbl

Morning girls~ We saw Avitar last night...OMG, that was an amazing beautiful movie. I recommend it to everyone, and suggest you upgrade and see it in 3D. I can't believe how great it was...a visual treat for my eyes and brain. Going to be 76 today. Starting Klausy training. Then step mom is down to see us. We are hanging this afternoon and then grabbing a bite. All our gifts are bought. I only need 3 gift cards for the kids, then done...their gift card cards are already bought! Am having a wonderful holiday season...much love to all my girlies! Haydee, I got the Save the Date...and I saved it! Beautiful card!!! xoxoxoox

Polar Express Round 2...maybe I'll get through the whole movie this time w/o a heartattack from some rude child wearing a piece of crap shirt! HOHOHO!

I just confiscated a Tshirt from an 8th grade boy that reads...and I quote: Sorry Mamma, I only Fu** Latinas. OneEightSeven REALLY??? The F word was completely spelled out. REALLY?? 187 IS THE PENAL CODE FOR MURDER. Lawd, give me strength to make it through the day.

Judy, yes today is the last day! We are watching Polar Express and the kids are enjoying their treats "Santa" brought to my house for them. I got them each a Santa bucket (about 3" tall and 6" round) and filled it w/ candy, card games, etc. I also got everyone candy canes, Santa straws and Christmas pencils!!! For many of my kids, they will "regift" this stuff for their little bros and sisters. They are cute like that. I made out like a bandit too!!! I got earrings, necklaces (really cute nice set) Coach sunglasses (good fake ones), candy, popcorns, chocolates, and a couple of bears!! Never made out this good before! BBL

Good morning girlies~ 77 today!!aaaahhh. Just got home from the gym, and Sus slept in (she is still sleeping). I did 30 min on the eliptical and yes, it damn near killed me. The bottom of my feet cramps up, I even had to stop at 10 min and try to stretch more. Then I got on and did speed intervals! Anyone know of the group The Gossip? Lead singer is Beth Ditto. Anyway...they helped the work out today. Just got news yesterday that my bff from college (18 yrs old in the dorms) Sarita is coming after xmas. She lives in Vegas and we've seen each other here and there. She has 3 kids and her hubby is also working on doctorate degree. Anywho, she texted me and asked for a get away!!! So excited. We already have massages booked for the 29th (not doing taking of the Waters this time). She just to chillax, have some cocktails and not be "mom" for a couple of days. Her kids are too cute, and hubby is a doll...but dad just went to Florida for 2 weeks...mom's turn! Other than that, we are watching Polar Express today. I'll pop in from work! xooxxooxox

I don't know whose cat it was???Feel terrible, but he can't help it! He didn't go get it...it came over here. Susanne had to make him drop it and take it away...he was not happy when she threw it over the fence. Poor kitty...poor Klausy....poor Susanne. Sadsadsad!

Judy and Laura~ I love that book and sent you both the same one! When I read it I thought of you both! Hope you like it!! xoxo

Klausy killed a HUGE cat and brought it to Susanne and I....what a nice gift, eh?

Good Morning Violets~ We worked out this am...wow, while it was PAINFUL during...I feel AMAZING! Did 20 min on eliptical, 70 crunches, 20 obliques, back and thighs! I missed the gym...just hate the time. But all is good. It felt great to go w/ Susanne!! 2 more days!!! I go to the library 2x today!!! Tomorrow, after a wonderful observation Monday morning, the kids have earned a movie!! Tonight, I need to come home after detention and assemble 51 Christmas buckets. I got candy, pencils, Santa straws, etc., in these little xmas buckets! Love you guys...pop in later!

Thanks Judy...that sounds good too! Maybe even easier than Janies! Decisions decisions. We went to 29 Palms for shopping...just got home and am pooped out! xoxoxo

You know what...I think it is! That is how I got the print cause remember I went w/ Haydee to CVS to get the pix. Email or text her cause it should be in her files. BUT I am going to look later too. We are going to 29 Palms PX after school to do some shopping, so I won't be home until late...but will look when I get home! xoxo Love the visual especially w/ the "surprise me waiter" drinks. Are you at work today? I was not so subtly reminded on Sat that I am no longer in my 20s!!! Enjoy your youth! xoox
