Judy, I saw this on Facebook, then ran over to Alpenanow.com to read...OMG! I can't believe this. See what happens when you relax for one day!?! I like his independence...you have tons of angels watching him!xoox

Hey girlies~ 1.5 hours to go...Always so hard on Friday afternoon!

Haydee, The fires are about 3 hours away. It is sad though...I hate fires! So much destruction Judy, enjoy your day! You don't get 'em often. You are almost as busy as I am! Perhaps more!

Terry, great pix! Pee'ing your pants from fear or excitment? I love CO and know you will have a fun time. Just making sure, but this is not taking place of 'bama right? Maybe I missed something...haha prolly did!

Morning Girls! Could not work out again...I am just pooped. Prolly not gonna even do my "do" this am...just put a headband on and go! TGIF eh? Meeting w/ the trainer tomorrow and Sus has a game this weekend. Other than that, I want to go see Star Trek and hang out, perhaps finish my book. What are you all doing this weekend? xoxoxo

WTF??? A. GET AWAY FROM THE WINDOW B. TELL THAT SHIT TO STOP BEFORE I GET THERE C. THERE IS A PIC OF A SPEED FREAK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FIRST PIC...W/ A MESSED UP FACE...LOL, I USED TO HAVE HER PIC ON MY FILING CABINET. D. GET AWAY FROM THE WINDOW! Judy, enjoy your alone time. It is fun every now and then! I got a fill today! I was at 1cc and now I am at 1.6, which is where I was last Aug. I am happy w/ baby steps cause I don't want to get sick in Italy. Ya'll remember that last morning in Texas...I pb'd and puked 9 TIMES! Rough trip home. puree'd some chic (very small)and smashed up an avocado and that was dinner. Ya'll have a good night.

Jane, Take a water pill ( I have px but they have good ones OTC), pound about 2 bottles of water, prepare to peeeeeeeee (like on a day off), take a potassium vitamin, and they water weight goes...and goes fast!

Ha Kat~ what a mean person. I hate mean people. Your SIL is superficial and has no idea of what REAL FRIENDS we all are. We dont give a hoot what size we are...as long as you share the tequilla, it is ALL good w/ us!:thumbsup: I AM GLAD YOU ARE GOING...AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!

Hi Ladies~ Terry, I LOVE Colorado! I went to Vail in my youth for 2 weeks with my friend to stay at their "extra place". We were 17 (she was 18) and we were WITHOUT parents! Met really cute boys from Stanford and we had funfunfun, but that is a story for another time. AAAHHHH youth! Busy day here. Work, then going to the school play, then getting a fill! Coming home to the gardener hopefully finishing his job. Everyone have a great day! xxooxox

Hey Girls~ I've been way deep into my book...sooo lovin' it! Susanne got her hair done and I've got a new girlfriend! She went dark and looks great! I'll take some pix soon! Rob and Charles came by to discuss the party! The gardeners were here trimming my trees (only half done and took 4 hours). Anywho...we planned and talked about the party! I gave them a check for $750 and the rest is up to them. Catered, open bar...woohoo! Michelle and Haydee...hope you are ready to par-tay! Well, off to relax. It is after 8 and the gardeners just left, and Susanne just got home. Have a great night! xoxooxox

HAHA Heather! You kinda read my mind. But I am going to make her earn her A, just like I do everyone else. Usually, in the beginning, I have to issue B's and C's, with tons of feedback. I usually find that by the 3rd or 4th week, they get their s&^t together and earn their A's. I am fair...but I am not holding her hand anymore. Thank goodness I am only teaching these 8 weeks, then taking time off during the summer. Normally I teach the 16 weeks, but in 9 weeks she becomes someone else's problem.

CAN I COMPLAIN??? There is a student in my online class that is buggin' the beejeebers out of me! Calss started MONDAY and I've had 3 phone conversations with her, as well as 10,000 emails (not really but you get it). I AM TRYING TO BE SUPPORTIVE BUT REALLY...SHE IS A FREAKIN' IDIOT! Last night, as American Idol is starting, she calls me and I have to go through the process of setting up folders on her desk top to house and organize the information for her. She whines and complains...then cuts me off. Then she asked about a rubric and I explained WHERE IT IS, and that she needs two citations/references minimum for an A on her discussion post. Then I get an email now that says, "it says students MAY use citations" she continues, "I don't want to be picky but..." AAAAAAHHHHHH ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??? I can not explain my blood pressure on this one. I wrote back, "just do what I instructed you to do last night!" I CAN NOT SPEAK. I had a 30 min convo w/ her on sat to help her NAVIGATE through the classroom. Mind you, class started Monday!!! Her name is MB...but right now MF is more like it! sorry for the rant...i am smokin' pisssssed now!

Good Morning Violetas~ I went to the gym again! And did 30 min of cardio! I woke up at 4 and pee'd...then went back to sleep thinking about going to work out. Then when the alarm went off, I woke up and reset it for 5:15 and got back in bed. I could not go back to sleep so at 4:40 I was up getting dressed!!! Yeah Me ( I need a star for that story)! Judy...glad you are feeling better! Yesterday I was pooped out and watched 2 episodes of Daisy of Love...just could not move! Sometimes our body needs extra rest, especially you since you are always on the go. Tracy...work through the pain sista! Also, change things up. Don't do the same exercises as yesterday! Michelle...I hope between your TV appearances and speaking engagements you wont forget the little people who knew you when! Spending 500 bucks today to have my freakin' trees trimmed!:cool2::laugh::scared2: And that is a bargin considering how much others charge. Have a lovely day! I'll pop in from work since the kids are finishing their state tests today!!! YEAH!

Good to see you Terry! Glad you had fun w/ the girls. They can be fun...sometimes. We are relaxing, watching Twilight Zone (original episodes). Kids love 'em...and they are pretty tame for today's standards!

Jason is evil...but you will grow to love him! Good for you sista! Exercise (and sex) will help w/ the cramps too:w00t:

Morning Girlies~ HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO! Yeah...Haydee! Glad you can stay until Monday! Tracy...you look great and I love the one w/ dh! You are an amazing beautiful woman, and now that you are working on your fitness level, you will feel great again soon! Michelle...hang in there. We appreciate it! Yesterday, I walked into a LAUNDRY BASKET FULL OF CANDY!!:thumbdown::w00t: M & M's, Twix, Snickers, etc! They are planning more EVIL today! I know the Sunshine Committee is putting out a NACHO BAR...w/ chili, cheese, guac, etc! Plus we are having a salsa competition too! Perhaps there is a margie in my future??? Went to the gym again. Sus can't this week because she is working soooo early! But I did! 150 crunches, 60 obliques, 15 back crunches, inner and outer thighs, 25 ass thingys, 60 chest!!! I NEED A STAR JANIE! Have a great day!

Hiya Girls~ Haydee...pick a later flight Sunday...as late as possible. I am sure MIchelle, Susanne and I will find something to do. Do you guys want to take the celebrity tour? We get on an air conditioned bus and they drive us to all the famous people's houses? Just a thought...I've never done it, but it would ve fun to take some pictures of the famous houses. If not we can drink, shop and eat until the party. Sure is quiet here. I guess Tracy really found some trouble...trouble sounds good right about now:wink:

20 Tips for a better ride! by Jon Gordon 1. Take a 10-30 minute “Thank you” walk every day. While you walk practice gratitude. It is the ultimate anti-depressant. 2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to. 3. Buy a TIVO, tape your late night shows and get more sleep—it’s the ultimate energizer. 4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement: My purpose is to___________ today. 5. Live with the 3 E's. Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy. 6. Read more books. 7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, qigong and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives. 8. Do the “one thing” you have always wanted to do. 9. Dream more while you are awake. 10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less foods that are manufactured in plants. 11. Mentor someone and be mentored by someone. 12. Engage in daily random acts of kindness. 13. Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing positive energy into your life. 14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control.. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. 15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. 16. Eat Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card. 17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away. 18. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished____________. 19. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed. 20. Enjoy the ride. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy it.

Hi Girlies~ The fat train has left the station!! I worked out this morning...through the back pain. I only did 30 min (a bit over 5 miles) on the bike...but since I haven't worked out in 2 weeks, I am pretty proud. My back is ok...but I am being very gingerly w/ it. Sat there was NO PAIN!! Since I defended...I think I've put on 10 pounds! In 2 weeks?! I am going to do good w/ eating this week too. I get a small fill on Thursday. We are having lasagne tonight, but if I make a salad and have a small piece...I should be ok! I have this big meeting today for a Structural Racism Townhall meeting I am organizing! It is a duty of the Human Rights Commission that was basically "dumped" on my lap. But the last guy completely dropped the ball, so I want to do it and do it VERY WELL. I'll be working closely w/ the mayor...it is my turn to shine! Tracy...enjoy your TROUBLE! Jane...I love the star thing...but then you need to reward yourself w/ something (not food) for each increment of stars gathered. Laura...LOVE THE ONSIE! Very cute! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

If it weren't for the violets, I wouldn't even know there was a horse race yesterday. For some reason, I have compeltely missed the news or anything that tells about the race. HAHA...seriously. I know it has been on the news, I just haven't seen the news since Friday am before work. Been reading my book...American Wife. REALLY GOOD! XXOxoox

Morning girls~ Yesterday we LAZZZED around...ended up watching Mask (circa 1985). We showered and brushed out teeth at 4:00pm. Went to Costco...woohoo! We bought a book and DVD on Italy!!! She has been earmarking pages and reading like crazy! We then went to Stef's house and helped her finish her closet clean out. She started this project a week ago and had just gone crazy...moving crap on and off the bed everyday. She has trouble throwing crap out. She was crying when I called and asked if she wanted to go to Costco...so I said we are going to help. She tried to get out of it...saying I'll finish tomorrow, wanna watch a movie! But we did...and I made her throw out tons of crap. She could stand to do another purge...but for now, her closet is clean, you can walk into it, and her head is clear. I am sure she slept good last night! Today is chill, Walden (a new term starts tomorrow, so I need to read student posts and welcome them), a few groceries, and then a game later! Have a great day! xooxxoox

I'll chip in on the car...I'll need a ride anyhow! Getting closer!

Morning Girls~ My back is sore but better. I mean it is NOTHING like it was. Still not sure the cause, because what I am feeling is not normal back pain. Oh well. We have a relaxed weekend on tap so I will see how it goes! Kat, the other night Laura and I had a REAL CONVERSATION on Facebook. It was great to talk to her...and then get a quick response, lol! Judy, have fun! Tracy, how are you feeling today? Sore? I am glad you and dh are starting together. Where the hell is Haydee?? Did I miss a post? Michelle, hang tough sista. You are working a ton too...so, take care of yourself. CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AND HAYDEE THIS MONTH! Have a great weekend everyone! xooxox

2 margies...back feels better...hope it holds true for tomorrow! have a great night! good to see you Jen!

Susie, right after my last post, I picked up March 2009 Oprah mag and read this article. I found it for you and everyone...very interesting since we are talking about weight and numbers on a scale. The Truth About Body-Fat Percentage and Weight Control - Oprah.com
