Me too...red wine or balsamic vinegar is my fav. I actually ordered some and some olive oil with the wine we bought at the wine tasting...that should be arriving soon! Well, I am up at 2am...STARVING! I was able to get in the mooshoo pork (w/o pancake thingy) for dinner. It is hard to chew...and I am trying to avoid a PB at all costs. Trying pretzles and diet sprite now, but I know I need more. I am watching BB now on showtime. LOVE WHO WON HOH, however I would have loved someone else more. I am waiting for my frozen blackberries to refreeze so I can put 'em back on. I like using these because they are soft and somewhat pliable...however, I had a leak earlier...and although I caught it early, it got my pj's! OK...gotta boogey...why, I don't know cause I got nuttin' to do! I got a HUGE bruise on my neck from the diaper thingy. OK...'nuf about me! xooxox

Hey girls~ Feeling better, looking bad! I sent another pic...today. Let me know if you don't want them. Jen, I don't know what I have as for you email...your just in the violets list...let me know if I need another. Tracyk...I wish I could swing by and take you out for a drinky...and all the violets too! I am thinking we need some of Jane's frozen "kick yo ass" margies she made for us in Bama! They were so good and icey...we needed a spoon! It was like a frosty!!! Keep you chin up sista! Dont let the scale validate who you are! You are loved! OK...I've had two naps today! I had yogurt and granola for breaky. Then for lunch I heated up some mooshoo pork (w/out the pancake thingy...so it was just pork and veggies) and got stuck!!!:scared2:Trust me, I am not even supposed to tie my shoes for a few days, let alone PB! SO...after a walk around the house, it went down...and I called Jenny and she brought me over a Jamba Juice. I don't know if that is a chain or what...but it was w/ banana and strawberries and choc...and it was good. I am gonna stick w/ really easy food for a bit. Maybe I'll lose a few in the process. Did I mention this morning that when they took the diaper off, I saw the early results of the lipo! It is still swollen and has fluid in it, but I do not have the chin I have had all my life! I cant believe it...very happy! Gonna shower in the morning...I need to wash the hair and some other 2000 parts too. Hope that goes well! Ok...I am ramblling! Loving BB, how bout you Tracy. I am sad Casey is leaving, but I can not STAND the way he smokes...he makes soooo much noise w/ the inhaling and exhaling...no one makes that much noise. I've been watching on Showtime too...cant wait to see who gets HOH! Ramblin' Rose....out

Home from dressing changes! OMG...I look so much better. I no longer have the maxi pads, but gauze...and it feels so much better. More airy. I was so excited to see my chin...it looks so good already (albeit, still really jacked up). So far very happy! Home to lay down...bbl

Hey girls, I sent you all the pic in the email. I tried to post it, but couldn't. It is yesterdays pic...so I look very swollen. And for some reason, it is upside down. I did take the pain meds yesterday, and may take one today. I HATE pain meds, but have enjoyed the valuim! He gave me another one while I was on the table! I was NOT put out. I had a 10 mg valium and then local. I slept on the couch and faired pretty well. I was up from 1-2 w/ frozen baggies of blackberries on my eyes. I have an appointment at 9am and can not wait to have them take off this diaper. this morning I woke up and one of the maxi pads had fallen out of the diaper. Nice! I'll be back later. xoxo

OMG...my face feels like it has been run over! The eyes and chin...and everything in between. i have a horrible pix and i'll either text it to someone (who knows how to post) or i will try to post it myself (it is on my new phone). I will take daily pix ...but for now, trust me...I LOOK LIKE SHIT! I have a big ass diaper thing strapped to my chin, w/ maxi pads in the strap for compression, my eyes look like frankenstien...and crusty blood is everywhere. i am not the pretty little violet you all know and love. BUT I WILL BE FABU soon! love you guys xoxoox

Good Morning Girls~ Holy crapola I slept like shit last night. The doc gave me 4 valium, one for last night IF I was nervous. Well, I wasn't...so I didn't take one. I dreampt (is that spelled right) ALL night about the procedure. I would wake up and not really be nervous or scared...but bothered that it was still on my mind. I swear I didn't sleep all night...but know I did cause I had MANY dreams about it. I made the mistake and watched the procedure in a 3D annimation of the procedure, so that was the movie that played in my dreams! I get to take a 10mg Valium before and actually I am looking forward to it! I am fine when I am not thinking about it...then FREAKED OUT when I do! I just want it to be over! I forgot all the personals I was gonna do as I read posts (sorry to make this all about me). Have a great day everyone...wish me luck!

Michelle, you are not alone. I didn't eat ice cream (no sugar today, but it is early still), but just PB/puked up a whole wheat casadilla. When will I learn that I have a freakin' band for a reason. I did DQ last night, AFTER I PB'd on pizza...2.5 peices, and 2 full pukes! HUUMMMM do I see a pattern here. I suck! Jen posted what she ate yesterday and I would be STARVING if that is all I ate. More power to ya sista... OK, Kelly is coming over w/ her dissertation for help! So glad I can be on this side of things and help her! Have a good night...gonna have some Hamburger Helper and a salad tonight. We'll see...we have Sherbert in the freezer! OH NO!

OMG...I LOVE IT! Last year, when I went short, sooo many people thought I looked so much younger...so did my students. You look fan-freakin-tastic honey...a new 'do...a new you! I couldn't be prouder! xooxoxox

And we know what is making Mo bigger :thumbup: I know the grass is always greener on the other side...but I'd kill for a rainy day! Well, home from gym. Vacuumed the entire house while Susanne is raking leaves! It is 115 today...she needs to come inside. Trying to stay mellow about tomorrow. Everyone have a great day!

hi girls...woke up late and was NOT going to the gym...but now I want to so i am going to quickly before i talk myself out of it. i am in such a hurry i can not cap my i's! bbl

Tracy, I am having blepharoplasty on my upper eye lids, and lipo on my double chin! Ready to get it behind me. Terry really looked great after hers, and I am excited to have my eyes alive again! GREAT TO SEE YOU POSTING! Laura, thanks...that made me smile big! xoxo

YEAH Tracy...enjoy the peace and spoil you and Robby as much as possible. Cody sounds like a lovely little child...NOT. Keep the letter fo' sho! Treat your self to new bedding to match the lavendar. Find yourself sista! Laura, I am sorry to hear the man child is growing. I told him not to...too bad he didn't listen to me.

Hey girls, Went to the gym and worked out for 40 min. I did 55 crunches and cramped SOOO BAD...I had to get a Gatorade from the counter. I've been having a foot cramp for 3 days, so I should've known it was coming. The Gatorade helps SOOO much, but...I blew it on the sugar thang already. OH well...I worked out and will for the next two days as well. I am having my eye life surgery on Wed., and LIPO on my double chin!!! I am so excited! But I won't be able to work out for a bit after, so I am glad to at least get 3 workouts under my belt before. Doing laundry! BBL... Love you all and an extra LOVE to you Jane...we are here for you!

Hey Girls~ Terry and Laura...you inspired me. We are going to the gym in the morning if it kills me. i really need to get back into the swing of things. And count calories. It really is simple: calories in = calories out...input / output! I can do it! I suck at the eating thing...but at least when I am working out...I feel better! thanks girls! Love you guys...off to go look at Kindle!

Stupid question alert: (I know you are all shocked) What is Kindle? My book recommendation is Made in the USA by Billie Lutz. That was really good. I wouldn't recommend my last two books to anyone...they were good but not great. So far the new one Calla Lily is slow...hope it picks up!

LOL Tracy, I peaked too! I hope he backdoors Ronnies ass...someone should have some follow through. I like Jeff, Casey, and Lydia (or Lydiot as bbchatter folks call her) is interesting, for now. Russ is good for drama, but I think he is a bully. Should be interesting to see when he is on the block. Well, we've gone skinny dipping, or chunky dunking as the case may be, twice already today. Now I am going to read my book, The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder, by Rebecca Wells (ala YaYa author). I just finished my other book yesterday and started this yesterday and so far I love it. I just ordered two books this morning, The Glass Castle and Bag Lady Wars. Can't wait...should get 'em Wed. Summer is great isn't it! oxoxxoxoxo

Hey girls~ Well we took Jenny out last night for her to "get out there" and get over Lexy (she was really having trouble)...and she did!!! W/ Susanne's former pitcher on her team! It was great! Actually, everyone was all over Jenny...good for her ego! Sus had a few drinks and I was DD so I had diet coke! But the owners bought Sus and I a shot called, CHOCOLATE CAKE! OMG it was soooo good, and tasted just like Choc. cake! It is made w/ Vanilla Vodka and something else...and then after the shot, you suck a lemon dipped in sugar! It was really good. It was fun and since we don't go out much...it is good for us! Met some very cool people! Jen, love the tat! Judy, glad your pot sal was a hit...sorry about your summer...bet you have an Indian Summer in store for you! Laura...how was the movie and date night? Susie...are you as tired of Kendall on AMC as I am...I swear I am FF through her. Are you watching BB w/ Tracy and I? Tracy...I CAN'T STAND Changa's laugh anymore. I want Russ and Ratboy Ronnie gone! Well, I did a fun hard quiz on FB if anyone is as bored as I am...it was tough! Off to scrabble and watch BB (from the showtime stuff) while Sus is washing her truck outside! xoxoxo

Guten Morgan Fraus~ Another day of NOTHING on tap! I can get used to this LAZY thing. Reading, napping, swimming, repeat...then we are going out to dinner w/ Julie, Suzan, and Jenny tonight, then to a club! Man...just tired myself out typing it! Laura...loved that movie. I remember you wanted to see it when we were there...have fun on your date! Jen...I want to see the new tat! Judy...you are more than welcome to come visit and enjoy summer over here. There is plenty to go around. We are having a cold front, so it is down to about 110 w/ humidity. Everyone have a good day! xoxoxoxo

Hey girlies~ The movie, The Orphan, was AWESOME! Not only did I really enjoy it, I recommend it (for those who like those kind of movies). Not cheesy, great story, shocking ending...VERY GOOD! Then we went swimming for 2 hours, then went to eat (Jenny was with us all day). Had fun! Everyone have a great weekend! xoxoxoxo

Hey girls, Have some AM appointments today, then we are going to see The Orphan later! There is something wrong w/ Esther...love that line. Got my fill Wed...things are still "open" and am hoping it kicks in...usually takes a few days to kick in. No gym yet...don't know why. It is a bitch hot here 112 today w/ 57 % humidity!!! Stef is gone this weekend so we are getting tons of pool time in! Tracy...you are doing the right thing. There is a way to be on FB...but not be seen. Susie knows and can tell you if you want to stalk FB, but not post or let anyone know. HANG TOUGH sista...we love you! OK...everyone behave! I did make that sopapilla cheescake for my friend...OMG...she LOVED it! Her husband called it ORGASMIC! haha...I am glad it was taken over there to her house. xoxoxo

Judy, thank you SO MUCH for the cute card and the Elvis magnets! When did you get 'em? I lovelovelove 'em and they look great on the fridge! Susie, we are going to have a cold front next week..supposed to be 110! BBBRRRRRR!

Tracy, you said YEAH! I agree. It will be a tough road but for tonight, and this week...enjoy the peace! Be indulgent...take care of yourself and Robbie w/ treats (not food, but movies, time at the park, zoo, etc)...know that the peace in your home will reach peace in your heart soon...enjoy the thought that Robbie doesn't have to hear you fighting anymore...be forgiving of yourself! We love you and are here! Bought a Haydee phone today and will save 60 bucks a month. I am burning a contract but that is fine w/ me...I hate ATT. bbl

LOL...changa or chonga...this chick looks like a monkey! Thanks Haydee!

Good Morning~ I am so happy...I slept from 9-7!!! I needed it, but I now have a sore throat. Oh well! Yesterday we ran around and ended up going to Borders (spent WAY too much $). Now I am excited for relaxing today...reading and chilling! I am getting my fill back today. I was supposed to last week, but I puked sooo hard the night before (like soooo not a PB) that I cancelled. I have done my best to abuse the open band for two days (i will spare you the details) and am ready for some restriction again. I have no fllight plans anytime soon. I have not worked out yet. I woke up at 4.30 yest and was ready...but didn't! I know that once I do, I'll feel better...but it wont until I take my fat ass to the gym. Michelle...hope you feel better soon. My right knee feels your pain. Judy...love you bunches and do not envy you today! Tracy...I CAN NOT STAND Natalie or Chonga (Chima...chonga is monkey in spanish)...but Ronnie Ratboy's fall is coming, and I can't wait! I love Jeff, and everyone else can go! I am watching it now, since I passed out at 9 last night! OK...bbl...xooxxoxo

Hey Girls, I dont think I posted this morning! Up at 4.30, sleep is all messy still. Sus had an appt so we went to Breaky at Billys (had that dish that Haydee and I split...still left 1/2 on the plate). Then to the appt., then to the grocery store. My friend is having knee surgery tomorrow...and I was going to make her a dish or something for her fam, this is BA...has twin 8 yr olds. Anyway...too hot and grumpy...so decided to make her the sopapilla cheesecake instead. I sent out emergency text to Laura, then called Haydee, then called Michelle. Terry was next, working down the list. Michelle saved me. Sus said, Oh is that Michelle? Tell her your being a grumpy bitch! HAHA...I totally was, but bottom line is...she doesnt go to the store w/ me anymore! She said, "I am an honorary Violet...I can call you out!" HAHA...now she feels bad, but between us, she doesn't have to...I was being a bitch. Did I mention it is 114 today w/ humidity. She says, 'don't buy this or that...too expensive!" She is still my best and fav person! Thinking about you Judy and Kat! Haydee...stay strong and forgive quickly! Laura...just got your text...I didn't want to call if the man child was sleeping. Tracy...you don't suck. Sorry about your nose things...a derm doc can give you some "heal it up quickly cream" and you'll be good as new! How are things Terry? Jen? Jane? Susie? Anyone else I forgot! xooxox
