Hey Girls, Terry...it is ok being alone, actually I like it a bit. That doesn't sound right, but I don't mind being alone...I am alone, just not lonely. I did breakdown tonight and have a good cry. I have been holding it back for a few days, and I thought I would "hold it in" until after Wed...kinda use it if you will. But honestly, I can not believe I am finishing my doctorate and MY FREAKING PARENTS ARE DEAD AND GONE! They should be here. I can only imagine their faces, and their words for me. I feel sad for myself that I am w/o them...I know I was blessed to have them as long as I did. Just bummed a bit and could really use my mom telling my how awesome I am (hence my over inflated sense of self) and my dad telling me how proud he is of me. Great, now I am crying again. At least I have two days to get rid of the eye puffiness. I have a GREAT outfit planned. I need to pack in the morning and drag all my hair crap w/ me. I dont know if I told you but I am leaving tomorrow for a hotel room in La Verne. I don't want to deal w/ traffic or bs on Wed. You all remember when I caught on fire for my first meeting (or was that before the violets???). Anywho...going in Tuesday to spend time in library, relax, and then try to relax some more. I'll post in the morning and then wont again until after. I will text someone on Wed. Who will be near their puter to post for the violets??? OK...gotta go blow my nose and see what naughty sugar item I can shove in the pie hole! HAHA...DO YOU SEE A PATTERN?

Two BTW's! Judy...you video was awesome! That is such a big beautiful voice coming out of such a little woman! Really beautiful! Michelle...I had a dream about you and you were wayyyy skinny! I was giving you shit about how you were secretly skinny and didnt tell anyone!

Hola chicas~ Hope everyone had a nice Easter! I ended up grading papers most of the night...went to bed early and was up at 5:30 on my own (no alarm) and went to the gym! Did 30 min of cardio (which killed me since I havent done it in a while). But now...I feel great haha! I also lifted some weights, but honestly, I was sweating so much...ready to go. I feel strong when I do that cardio workout on the bike for 6 miles in 30 min. If I can do it regularly, I will increase (try to) the distance in the same time! But for now...that 30 min/6miles KICKS MY ASS! Today, I have to meet some colleagues at Costco to buy crap for the teachers at school. We are on the Sunshine committee and we need crap. Then, I will come home and grade papers and then at 3 I have a meeting w/ the Human Rights Commission for the City! Then home to finish grading. I leave tomorrow for La Verne (near LA) and want to have all my Walden crap taken care of before so I can go w/ a clear head. Getting a wee bit excited/nervous...but trying to appear "cool":cool: How is that working for me? I love you guys...have a great day! xoxoxo

Hey Girls~ Tracy...I LOVED THE PIX! Macy is a doll...and just seeing the pix from our last vacay...made me miss you all more! We did have a wee bit of fun in Gruene didn't we! Had a great day w/ the chillren! We saw Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D!! It was great! Highly recommend it to ya'll! Now, aunt Pammy is home in her PJ's watching the last few episodes of Rock of Love! AAAAHHH great day and white trash TV. Have a nice night!

HAPPY EASTER! Hope everyone got a basket full of whatever this morning that put a smile on your face! Me, I got good news that my friends son (who was in that bad accident) smiled at his dad today! That is my Easter Basket this morning! Off the mass. The kids will be here at 9:30. We are going to go spend money, go to the gravesite, and go to the movies! Have a great day!

Hey Girls~ Nice day here! Went to lunch w/ a friend. Went to library. Went to confession...but they don't do confessions on Holy Sat, so I said the rosary twice, then came home and watched 8 episodes of United States of Tara. THAT IS A GREAT SHOW! I am bummed it is over for the season. I had seen the first four, then needed to catch up. It was great to do NOTHING and watch! Jane...why are you not going to church in the am? I am even going to the 8am mass. Heather...I loved Marley and me!! I think the kids were played down because Marley sucked the life out of the couple. It wasn't about them. I laughed and cried like a baby. Like...cried really bad! LOL! Well, gonna go play scrab once then go to bed. HAPPY EASTER! HOPE THE BUNNY BRINGS YOU ALL THE GOODIES YOU DESERVE. PS...my church says Lent ends at 7pm on Thursday night, when Jesus sat for the Last Supper. You could've had the peeps @ 7:01 on Thursday...but they will be all the sweeter tomorrow! xoxoxoxo

Morning Gals~ Tracyk...way to kick ass sista!:drool::Banane20::laugh::Banane20::crying: I am glad someone is doing well! My bandiversary was on the 3rd. Came and went. I am proud of you...have fun at the Easter Egg hunt! Terry...your day sounds loverly! Kat...I LOVE rodeos! We don't have any near here...not even the gay rodeo, haha! Raise your hand if you think Pearl Jam's Ten album is one of your top 3 albums of all time:rapture: Well, Sus is getting ready to leave for a week! On tap for me is the library, then confession at 3:30...then home to chill! Tomorrow my favorite short people will be delivered at 9:30. We are going to get outfits, going to mom's grave, going to eat something...and then going to movies! Then home to study...AND GRADE PAPERS as I want them graded and returned ASAP! That is is for me and the weekend plans! Everyone have a great weekend. xooxox

Hey Girls~ UUHHH...when I had a rat in my house...I moved to a hotel for a week! It was a $1000.00 week...and well worth it. Of course, mine was a rat...not a little mouse. I had a dream about rats last night...HATE THEM. And pardon my french but, "F^%K FRIENDLY"...I want 'em dead and gone! OK...so I went to library, then to the Stations of the Cross at church...which was packed and beautiful. I went a bit early to say my rosary as well. Now we are going to a late lunch/dinner thing and to the movies! Kinda cloudy out...and a great last day together. xoxoxo

LMAO Judy...BACK AWAY FROM THE RED PEN!! Actually, I am still SWEATY...and yes she is my SWEAT HEART AND SWEETHEART. Thanks for calling me on it. :tt2::tt2::thumbup:

Morning Girls~ Happy Spring Break! Our trainer called yesterday and said his 6am cancelled...so we grabbed it! Thank goodness. I was dreading 5am...but 6 is totally doable. Our alarm was set for 5:30, and we even woke up before that on our own! Anywho...he kicked our ass. Haydee, he increased our reps to 12...and we did simultaneous bicep curls w/ 10 pounds. That was hard. So, the new info is build up your reps to 12! I am going to the local library this am! Gonna submerge myself in my dissertation and start studying. Then, I should be home about 1pm...going on a date w/ my sweatheart. She leave tomorrow for a week:frown:. Have a great day! oxxoxoxo I love you all...and I miss my dad!

Dear God (or Violets), Please give me strength to last the hour and 20 minutes! Can I get an AMEN?! AMEN!! The students are drawing maps to go with the Phantom Tollbooth...and the noise level is very high. They are very funny, especially my boys...but walk the line of inappropriate. One of my little dahlin's wanted to create a town on our crazy map called, "Nippleopolis." While I give him props for being creative...I need strength not to laugh!

Haydee, my trainer makes us do 3 reps of 10. He started us doing 3 reps of 12, but my muscles reach exhaustion at 8, so 9 and 10 are really pushing it for me. He focuses on weight...makes sure it is a "doable" weight for us. Then we try to push it. An example is when I started doing the pull down, I was at 30 lbs...now (well last week) it is 75. That was a struggle...but a good struggle. Now, w/ biceps...I am at 10 pounds and am not going bigger. He feels cardio is key...and should be done min. 2-3 x a week. He also agrees that weight training is an important part of weight loss and health. I like him, but we are not sure if we will retain him again. We paid 600 for 15 sessions for 2 of us. I think he has (and still is) giving us great skills and tips. Now it is up to us to work out for a time w/ our new knowledge. For me, i suck at eating. But when I workout, I feel great and everyone (even the trainer) says they see great changes in my body. Anyway...that is what I know...for now!

Ok...I settled on Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell, but I can tell already that it is not holding or keeping my attention as it should. I am going to Palm Desert tomorrow and I will try to pop into Barnes and Nobel or Borders for something better. Susie, yes, I've seen the pix of Adam kissing men. Who cares...he is great! I missed last night's first song, and so, at 9pm, I switched to DWTS...and guess I missed Adam. I also LOVE that little 16 year old girl...wow, that is God's talent for sure! How do I pull up last nights show??? Laura...do you know???

Michelle~ OMG...that last one made me LOL! Thanks for that! Went to dinner and relaxed a bit! Now home and chillin'! It is nearly time for me to start reading a book. It has been 8 YEARS since I could really read a pleasure book (I've managed to get a few in...but for the most part...no reading except homework stuff.). Gonna go get a new one out of the office...bbl

Hola Chicas~ Que Paso? Es muy boring ahora...lol. Mi estudiantes tiene un examin grande orita...maestra es sleepy! LOL...esta es mi spanglish!

Morning Girls~ TracyK...I'd ask where that money is going??? Is this a public school? What about the kids who don't have a dollar? TracyKS...Perhaps give it a day. It is mid week and it will settle down. I've had some serious puking (not pb'ing) sessions...and yes, after I am wiped out. Take care of it today...do some mellow broth or smoothies. Michelle...really looking forward to your visits! I have been telling anyone who will listen that two of the violets are coming! They are all looking forward to meeting you guys as well!!! I got graduation information last night in my email. The email was addressed to Dr. Pamela Lastname and I burst into tears! This is the first time the university has recognized me as Dr! Holy Crapola...this is really happening? Thank Goodness it is Wed. One more day. We are finishing our (the students) Power Point presentations on the presidents they had to research. It has been a lot of work...but it is over! Then we have math lab in the pm...so it should be a quick and fun day since we are only in our classroom for 2 periods! I sent my 4 yr. old nephew and neices a card each w/ $10 in them. He called and said, "Thank you for my card and my dollar!" SOOOO cute! Said he is going to buy some toys! Said in school they colored eggs and the Easter Bunny! I love it! I called my bro and said I want to see the kids on Easter! I will keep them until about noon, then drive them up to Yucca to their nanny! I was going to be alone on Easter studying...but caved after that phone call! OK...gotta run and put my face on! Have a great day! xoxoox

Back from the pix! Loved them! My fav was one of you in a yellow MI sweatshirt in the foreground w/ beautiful rolling hills and green everywhere in the background! And you and Bob (separately) on the ship w/ rainbows behind you against a beautiful green mountain. Love the pix of the USS Arizona, reminds me of the Queen Mary and the old days of shipping military over during WWII. Also, when we were kids and would go to Holden Beach in South Carolina every other summer, we would go on this ship (can't think of the name of it) but it makes me miss my dad! Great pix...loved 'em!

That is hysterical! I want to go...wait, I think I went to that university! Great sticker. Off to look at Judy's pix! If you don't hear back from me, I will be swimming to Hawaii! xoxo

Laura, I just found this...perhaps you want to see it???? House: Simple Explanation - TV Squad

:mad2::thumbdown::sneaky::Yawn::Yawn::Yawn::cryin::smash::confused::wink2::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy: That's all folks!!!

Hey Girls~ Slept poorly...on the couch! Had a row w/ Sus and didn't feel like making it better before bed, lol. We already made up this morning...and now we both feel stupid for wasting time; since she will be gone next week. We don't fight well...or long. Usually like 10 min and one of us caves w/ apologies. I hate conflict...and drama. We are both quick w/ apologies and conversation, and don't let things fester. Anyway...neck is sore, but all is well now! We have 3 more days! So excited! Sorry to keep going on and on about it...but spring break is HUGE if you are a teacher (or a student I'd guess...or a parent too). Anywho...I am excited! Have a great day! I made a fill apt. for April 23, and just realized as I am typing this, I need to change it today...man, I was looking at the wrong calendar and the 23 will not work! Oh well...a fill is coming soon. I am ready to join the ranks. xoxoxo

Morning Gals~ Yeah...Judy is home!! Where is our present? TracyK...yummmm love boiled eggs! I dont know what if anything I am going to do for Easter. Sus is gone and not sure what I will do. My bro is working and if I take the kids to church, then I have them all day...and I need to study. I have a ton of stuff to do on next Monday, so I may just stay in my pjs all day on Easter! Only 4 days until break! I need strength. The kids are usually CRAZY this week! Can't wait to see the pix! have a great day everyone! xoxoxo

Hey Girls~ Terry, loved the vid! AAAHHH youth right? I grew up w/ a drummer, and Sat am was his fav time to play. Actually, I grew to like it...love rock music. Had a nice relaxing day and used as much electricity as we could, lol. WOW...do we really depend on power. We both had no cells for a time because we didn't plug in. What a mess. Had our perishables in coolers, plus had my allergy meds in there too since they need the fridge. We have 4 days this week then break! Yippee-ki-ya!! Have a great night...off to play scrab BECAUSE I HAVE POWER!

yes..the site is acting up...or down???
