Good Morning girlies~ I have these meetings for the next two days and don't have to be in until 8:30, but got up at 4:30 anyway and worked out! I love it! Tomorrow is weight lifting, then back to cardio tomorrow! Judy, glad to hear the Bobster is home! I bet you slept a bit better last night. What else is going on girls? I wont be near the puter today...text me if something big happens! Have a great day everyone! xoxoxoox

A friend of mine took this last night (I cropped her out) and I love this of me. You can really see my "work" I had this summer on the chin and eyes. Hope it loads, but I think I got it right for the avitar!

Hi Girls~ We had a nice evening, came home a bit early, but met a wonderful couple, had a nice dinner and enjoyed the evening. Susanne won some tickets for a drawing for a Camaro...so at 9 we left the club and went to the casino for the drawing (you had to be present to win). Sadly, we are not driving a new Camaro this morning. But after we wanted to go home. We got our tickets for the Micheal Jackson movie (ya'll know he died, right?) Susanne, being European, LOVED him. I loved him too, but she was a HUGE fan since the beginning. I am really excited about the movie. Tickets go on sale this am and the movie is only going to run for 2 weeks! www.thisisit-movie.com if anyone wants tickets (just put in your zip code). I DO NOT have papers to grade today...thank goodness. While I like the new class and the content I am teaching, it is twice as much work w/ papers EVERY weekend (this Sunday is the only Sunday in the whole 8 weeks w/o papers). Soooo, we are running out to the Nike outlet and buying a couple of tennis shoes. Then we are heading out to the commissary, which is about 50 min. at March Air Force base. We need to do some major grocery shopping and stock up on meat, dog food,etc. We do this about every couple months for the staples. The deodorant (Secret) alone is two dollars cheaper, so it is worth our trip. Then it is home to cook and watch football! Jenn, you are right...I am crazy about getting Nationally Board certified, but am doing it w/ friends, which will make the pain a bit less...and it will be over soon. IT IS A TON OF WORK...which makes me crazy thinking about it. I was going to do it last year, but needed to finish the other big thing I was doing first:cool:. Hope Michelle and Mickey are having fun! Laura, how is the knee? xooxox

Hey Girls~ Judy, glad you have finished the concert! Now some down time? Knowing you I doubt it. Larua, can't believe it...ice and rest! Jane, spoil yourself w/ something (not sweets) to make you feel better. Sorry you are having a shitty week. You are so sweet and funny and I hate that you are having a hard time! Haydee, LOVE THE SHOES. You are going to be sooo pretty all in white...CAN'T WAIT! We had a communal garage sale this am at friend Barb's house. We made $120, spent the am w/ friends...and had a nice time. We are taking our $$ to Disneyland next weekend for GAY DAYS!!! Oh yeah...I registered yesterday to get NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED!! This is a big deal...more classes, more work...what an idiot I am, lol! Best part is it is all OVER by March 31! Glutton for punishment! Off to rest. We are going out tonight. The gal from the movie might go out w/ us. We had a wonderful night last night!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

diet coke, cup of ketchup and minced onion? THATS IT?

LOL Haydee, thanks for the link fix. You are right...I am so shy in person...can't get me to talk. :scared2: I am off Mon and Tues for meetings so off to make plans!!! bbl

Judy, Sorry you had to close the pool already, seems like you didn't get in it much this year. If you are missing summer, come on over...gonna be 105 today, but we are expecting a cool front to move in next week and finally will see 99!!! Broke another damn tooth this morning on my chewable vitamin...thought the pill was old and all crunchy! LOL, it was an old crown I was crunching on. NOt a cosmetic prob., but still a PITA because the doc is in Rancho Mirage. bbl

Hey Girls~ TGIF eh? I am working for the City tonight at a movie event we are putting on. www.formywife.com if you wanna peek! Tomorrow we are doing anniversary dinner/drinks w/ Jenny and Annette. It has been 2 months and we are returning to where they met! BBL

HAVE FUN!! XOOXOX Can't wait to see pix! We will miss you!

LOL...I just popped on the pjtp thread during prep. WTF?? I am reminded why I only check in w/ ya'll...can't stand that. Too funny though, even though I didn't really get it. Oh well. I like it right here just fine. I guess everyone was mean to Susan (I liked her when I used to roam about) and then Alex kicked a bunch of people off. OK...back to real like, and the violets. I swear, some people have TOO much time on their hands.

Laura and Haydee, I am not a mom...but I am a daughter that dealt w/ the same type of crap (instead of drugs, it was irresponsibility and not helping, when I was busting my ass to help w/ her and grandpa). They "get mad" at you because they can. They KNOW you are right, and know that they can get angry w/ you because you will still be there for them. In part, it is their way of being mad w/ the ones they are dealing with. You should not back down, nor should you cause them more headaches (and heartaches...I can't imagine). But stand your ground, speak your mind, and be there for them when they vent. When they get mad at you for your opinion, then let them...but they will get over it. By saying nothing, you are enabling the enabler...and the cycle continues. Tread lightly, be supportive, but don't not say it...whether they know/like it enough, they need to hear it. I don't envy you ladies, especially your moms and can't imagine what Laura's mom is going through. Terry is a better resource for this...but I do know, she stood her ground when she needed to. Right/wrong or indifferent, it is what her DS needed. That is my 2cents...observation went well. Off to make plans for MOnday and Tuesday since I am at meetings!

Thanks, will peek later, lol...as if I have time.

I wanna see the thread! Where is it? As if I have time to read drama...just wanna take a peek!

Hey Girls~ Kat, that sucks about the moderating. I hope you continue to see us, but if you don't we will find you on FB. I hated my brief moderating experience...too much drama. Skipped the workout today! Kinda planned it, but thought I might go. I've been up since 4:30, just relaxing. I am having the formal observation today, didn't want to feel rushed. Michelle, have funfunfun! How long are you gone? Just the weekend? Enjoy your mani/pedi/wax...I NEED all of the above! Going to the dentist, then need to see the chiro. My back still hurts and need to get over this. Then, going into the garage to get crap for the sale. Have a great day... Jane, hope your headache is better!

Man Michelle...that sounds LOVERLY! I am so there! We'd love to see you again! Judy, I thought you'd like it. It is really funny, but such a good story line as well. Jane Lynch is too funny. You can watch the first 3 episodes online at www.fox.com I had to watch the first one that way, but I lovelovelove that show. Michelle, are your kids Glee kids??? I would imagine they'd love it too. It is not corny like HSM, but extends to everyone! OK...wont make it tonight, need to rely on the DVR for Glee. I am going to dentist tomorrow for cleaning, then coming home and getting crapola ready for the yard sale Sat. We are going to a friends house Sat. am, and I am glad to just haul our crap there...then sell, then leave! WooHoo!!! Janie, feel better! xooxox

I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN...I KNOW YOU CAN! Is that good cheerleading? I feel your pain. I have read 2 pages of my great book since I've been back to work. I got a gift certificate for my graduation...for the Spa!!! Come redeem it w/ me!

Good Morning V's~ Went to the gym but I tweaked my back moving a table on Monday (after the new carpet) and so I only did 23 min (which hurt the whole time). I came home yesterday and laid on couch w/ my electric stim machine on back, but need it more! Oh well. What I liked about the weekly cleaning, it freed me up time. I'd rather spend my "extra" time w/ Susanne, or on Facebook or whatever. Now she does most of the cleaning, but I do help often. Well, not really help, but I cook:thumbup: and that is contributing! My defense, I have two jobs and am tired! Or lazy, however you spin it! Off for another day at work. I'll pop in. Laura...what is happening w/ the letter? Miss you guys! xooxoxox

Paula was good, but a bit airy for me. Kara says, "you know sweetie, that was not good," she is nice but doesn't skirt around the issue. I hope Ellen is good, love love love her. She will not be doing the preshow auditions but will join them when the regular season starts.

Haydee, I am watching and taping Glee (OMG, soooo good), Survivor, American Idol (when it is on), Army Wives, (Weeds, US of Tara, Big Love on HBO and ShoTime when they are on) but we are trying The Good Wife, Flashforward and I caught Accidently on Purpose last night (cute sitcom). Lots of new stuff, can't keep up. I LOVE DWTS, but 3 nights is too much and Susanne does not like it. I'll watch it on Access Hollywood and catch it when I can, but can not committ to it. We also tape and watch AMC and Young and the Restless EVERYDAY! We tend to watch those daily, and save the others for Sunday or Sat evening. That sounds like a lot considering I go to bed by 8:30ish every night (so I can wake by 4:30 for the gym):bored:

Oh yeah...getting flu shot next week at doctor's office. But Walgreens have them here daily. Get one this year fo' sho'...that is my 2 cents!

Hey Chicas~ WEnt to the gym and did weights today! I did shoulders, biceps, triceps, bench presses, pull downs and only 10 on my back. My back is hurting from yesterday's moving crap around in my classroom. Tomorrow is cardio again, then Thursday will either be weights or a day off. So glad Jenny joined the gym too, it is fun w/ my two bff's! Judy, enjoy grandma duty. That sounds like a lot of work, but I am sure you will make it fun! Michelle, how fun...a countdown. Gay days at Disney is funny...just the concept. We are excited to go w/ friends and to have a hotel room! Janie, glad you worked it out. You crack me up! Haydee, I second what Michelle says about a weekly. I know you still have SOME little stuff but just to have the bathrooms, moppping, dusting and vaccuuming done weekly is worth it. Less stress for you both. Have a great day! xoxoxox

Janie, no, never had one pop off. Thank God I caught it and didn't swallow it. They are $1000 each! I've had this for about 6-7 years and it just popped off. No big deal. OK...gotta go download papers!

Yeah Janie, Home from dentist, he popped that veneer on and did a filling (was supposed to go in Thursday for filling and cleaning, now I only have cleaning on Thursday). Had a great day. I am heating up leftovers, and finishing grading papers!!! Haydee, my one PITA student (two actually, but one REALLLLLY gets my goat), is late, sloppy, turning in crap (6 days late that I had to ask for), just wasting my time and then making me spend more time on her than I should have to. Then after all this work last, she is late AGAIN w/ her paper that was due yesterday. I got this bullshit email this morning saying she was going to be late again because of blahblahblah...and it took EVERYTHING in my power not to respond with "whatevs"...uuuuggg! Pisses me off when they waste their money and my time. OK...Off to start heating (sooo glad dinner is done). Have a nice night! xoxoxo Did anyone see my pix? I know Judy made a comment on fb but not sure if the other girls did.

Haydee, ever consider a cleaning lady? Think about it, I spent $200 bucks a month (50 a week) and it freed me up so much. Having bed linens changed, she ironed (2$ a item), mop, vaccum, dusting, showers and bathrooms. It was worth it to me for my time. Now that Susanne is working a lot, we are considering it again (but she will not be happy). Perhaps something for you guys to think about, and maybe you can get someone for a better price. Ain't no shame in that game sista if you work full time, exercise and want to enjoy quality time w/ your man.

Sounds like a great trip for us sometime...I've never been but it is on my bucket list too. OMG, we got new carpet over the weekend and I walked in and my class was tossed! Everyone's was. It was free and left over from the new school, but man, 3 weeks into the year??? So, first period, we did NOTHING except put everything back. I've got GREAT kids...they hooked up puters, put tables back, moved books, anything I told them too. Got one now wipping everything down. I am LOVING THIS YEAR...no sign of any Manuels yet. My grad students are workin' my last nerve...one in particular is making me work extra. bbl
