Hey Gang~ My ears finally popped...what an amazing difference that made! I worked and finished diss edits this morning. I told chair I'd have it done by Mon. but the cold derailed me. Crossing fingers and toes that this is it...or close to it. I WANT THIS TO BE OVER SO BAD...as I am sure you all do now! I love love love babies! And I was going to earn a Ph.D. in human sexuality, so I am not in the least intimidated by all the hooha talk, gross or not! One of the best days of my life was watching my nephew enter the world. I saw it all!!! I actually held on to the doctor w/ my right arm. My brother, who was banned from the feet (and was video tapping from the head perspective) tapped the birth and all you hear in the room was me...saying very loudly..."OH MY GOD...OH MY GOD...OH MY GOD!" That was my big contribution. I got to put his first diaper on...his little butt was sooo tiny. I loved every minute of it. OK...just showered and going to make some hot tea. Kat, I think you are dead right w/ the ENT. I see my reg. doc on the 23rd. I'll get a reccomendation then. I am soooo scared of getting sick again! Where the hell is TracyKS? oxxoxo

LOL, yes he ate the rest of it. I PB in the sink w/ the disposal.

Laura, I love that Lean Cuisine angle hair dish. I suggest you cut it up into small pieces. Long story short...my dog also loves that dish...cause I would PB the heck out of that and he would get to finish it:wink:

Hey Gang~ I am sick still...and think it is getting worse. This is the 4th sinus infection I've had this year...and I am beyond pissed now. I coughed all night and called in for a sub at 1am! The worse part is that yesterday I had meetings all day...and the same tomorrow. My new special kids starts today...and to have a sub for the first 2 days is not good. I dreampt (did I spell that right) about him all night. If I felt even 10% better, I'd be at work today. My head is still soooo stuffy...I just want to lay down. Kat~ We love you! That is all I can say! You are the greatest. Judy~ Glad to hear some of the dust is settling...for now. Jane~WTG on the blood work! I hate Jessica Simpson! There I said it! Watching her now...she sucks! xoxooxox

OMG...what the hell is going on??? Greatful for: hot tea, 3 hours of diss work behind me, and sub plans ready for me IF I wake up sick again. I am all kinds of confused. Judy is talking like a trucker, Susie is in La La Land, and Laura is eating Cream of Wheat instead of ice cream??? WTF is going on in here? xooxoxox

Today's Thread...sponsored by BIRTH CONTROL. WHATEVER the method! Rubber, pills, IUD's, shots, Catholic, pull out or just "get the hell off of me!" I like other people's babies!

Hey Girls~ Kat...I can feel your fear through your words...you hang tough and know there is tons of purple prayers heading your way! Judy...I am thinking about you and wishing the best outcome for Ethan and Joe. Purple prayers heading your way as well. I am in meetings all day...have a "good" day. Seems stupid to say when we have two sistahs w/ too much on their plate! We love you!

I am grateful for feeling a bit better, having finished grading 27 grad papers. I am grateful for TracyK and her texting me today about Kat. I am pooped!

Judy and Kat~ Much love and prayers for you and your family. I am freakin' sick again! I have a sinus infection...which turns into a kick yo ass head cold. It is raining and I have that City meeting today...my first one, and now I feel like shit! OH well...these are small probs. I have been busy working on diss and grading 27 grad papers...and discussion posts. We have today off and next Monday for Presidents holiday. Sadly I am too busy to enjoy plus it is raining. Oh well...at least it is a day off! Have a good one!

Hey V's~ I am thankful for my beautiful partner and that today is our 4 year anniversary and that God was very generous when sending her to me.

Hey V's~ I was up at 6 and at the gym at 6:30. Worked for an hour...then home to shower and get ready. MIL came a couple hours later. She brought her dear friends and we went to eat, now home to relax. It is raining on and off today...really cool because it is 60 degrees and a nice day! I just got off the phone w/ my diss chair and got the best news. I won't bore you w/ the details...you all have been great...but lets just say, my life just got a lot easier!!! I got news last week that threw me for a loop and I called a statistician to help. Well, he ran some tests and ended up calling her and got me out of a world of shit! HAHA...I am so happy. I have a ton of work to do...but at least I GET THIS WORK, where as before, I thought she was speaking another language. YEAH! Kat...how are things on the homefront today! I thought about you this morning and sent you much love, peace and strength to get through this all. xoxooxox

Kat, I am so glad to hear from you. I was way off, but glad to hear that Kinsey is taking it like a trouper! She sounds like a very cool kid. We went to the bowling alley and had drinks and bowling after school! It was super fun. I am not very good, but Susanne met us after work and she is really good. I had 4 or 5 "skinny black biotches" or vodka and diet w/ a lime wedge. They are good and went down like 'butta'! It felt good to unwind. At work, I am getting this AMAZING CHALLENGING STUDENT. He is famous at school, and is moving from his Emotional Disabled class, to my English Language Development class. I was bawling last night...I've been having an amazing year and now my entire dynamic is gonna change. I will never be able to convey how this will change my year. His former teacher he spat at, punched her in the breast, threw shit...the list goes on. I am really trying to "smile and accept the challenge", but honestly, I am mourning the loss of my year as I knew it. Again, word will not get my message across here. But I will say...at 4:30 this am...I was driving to the gym thinking about cocktails afterschool...after crying myself to sleep! Have a great night! oxoxxoxo

OMG the last hour on Friday KILLS ME. I feel the seconds ticking.

Laura, Susanne is HOOKED on Prison Break. She owns every season and never missed an episode. I watch it from time to time, know what is going on etc., but I am too busy to watch that and Damages (another GREAT show). I barely have time to watch All My Children and Rock of Love, lol!

Michelle, I'd say he redeemed himself. I am a sucker for flowers:tt1:. Kat, I sent you a pm! xo I need a drink. I have some serious stuff going on now, and I was thinking of a cocktail as I drove to the gym this am. Speaking of the gym, I can still barely lift my arms, although it is getting better. He kicked our butts today. Sus had to work at 7, so we had to leave about 5:45 today. That is ok, I had to pick up 30 donuts from the shop next door to the gym for the kids. Anyway, after our workout, he made us RUN!!! Yes, I actually ran for 1/8 of a mile. I was panting like dog. But, hey...I RAN! I'll work up to a 1/4 of a mile...slowly. OK... some major changes going on w/ work. I'll c'plain more later. Kat...sending you so much love sista. oxxoxoox

Kat~ Sending love, prayers and purple power so that she responds well to the meds! OMG honey...let us know if we can do anything for you. xoox

LOL, make brownies and put EXLAX in them!!! I can be a bitch too:wink:. Dont mess w/ an Italian woman...we are mean. I once watched my mom burn ALL of her boyfriends clothes and belongings (long before Waiting to Exhale) because he pissed her off. I miss my mom! Haydee...damn damn damn...those were very cool tweezers...THEY HAVE A LIGHT IN THEM. Oh well, if they come back, you will get them. I used my telephone book for your addy, and didn't refer to my Violet Sistah list on my puter. That is the one I keep updated. Just did Tracy's yesterday. OH well, good intentions. xoox

Happy Happy Birthday Baby! xoox Haydee, no tweezers yet??? OMG, I mailed a while back. To your PO Box. :bananalama::mad2: We went to the gym today!!!! After 4 days off (Sun-Wed) it was HELL waking up at 4:30...but we did it, and I feel soooo much better. I feel clear if that makes any sense. Meet the trainer tomorrow! OK...have a great day everyone! oxoxoxxo

Hey Girls, Field trip was good. It was a jazz story telling show. The kids were great. I wish I could fund a field trip to LA's Museum of Tolerance. I want to take them so bad...but it is expensive. OH well. Laura, welcome back. I have to go back and look at Carson's pix. Michelle, enjoy your special time. Judy, you rock! Are you ready for summer? Kat, how are the hives? I hope things settle a bit now that Manda is on the mend. TracyK, I too can't wait for BB. Glad you are getting all settled in the new place. TracyKS, how is Robbie doing? How are things w/ you sista? Mom ok? Jennifer, I am glad you are feeling happy these days. Enjoy it! Terry, can't wait to sit and bullshit w/ you. Someone asked about the jewlery? You still getting time to make it? Susie, where have you been? Did I miss a post or two...you seem quiet lately! Janie, got any cool plays on the horizon? I love plays...wish we had some around here. Heather, thanks for the post w/ info. My g-pa is from Denison Ohio...always meet cool people from Ohio! OK ladies...I know I am on the wrong thread..but I am jazzed about the trip! Watching the United States of Tara...my new fav show...and Sus is out for a bit! Gonna watch tv and play scrabble. Should be doing work...but can't seem to get my head around it!

Heather, where in the country do you live? What are you studying for? Violets want to know! Laura, where the hell are you?

Hey Girls, We have a busy day here...going on a field trip! The kids are going to see a performance about 30 min away. I know you all wish you could trade places w/ me and ride on a yellow school bus w/ 67 screaming middle school kids! Anyone? Anyone? I am in the paper today announcing being seated on the Human Rights Commission. Kinda cool cause I've already had a few people call to say congrats! I love that the appointment happened on Jan 21, mom's birthday! I like to think she had something to do w/ it. We have not worked out this week. I am NOT supposed to sweat w/ the new tat...but I have to tomorrow. Starting to feel slothy...and after going 5 days last week, I don't want to lose momentum. We meet w/ trainer again at 5am on Friday! Just can't wear the sports bra yet, so will have to make due w/ reg one. OK...have a great day! I'll pop in later when we get back from trip! xoxoox

Hey Chickies~ BLAH BLAH BLAH! My chair changed my diss statistical approach and i don't know my ass from my elbow now. Been crying and have not worked out this week yet! F%^K!!! I am pissed and now, crazy with uncertanty. I WANT THIS DONE SO BAD. Then last night I open a letter and my registration check ($1500) was returned cause I have a fine due at the library!!! NOW MY REGISTRATION IS LATE...and I got a late charge! F^%K! I am tired, cranky...and need Dairy Queen and I Love Lucy! Kat, sorry to go on and on when you have real probs. How is Manda today? Haydee and Michelle, yeah girls! Heather and Jen, I sent you the pic of the tattoo. Judy, loved the pix...you are super skinny and look BEAUTIFUL! TracyK and KS~ Sorry you are oozy (at both ends, sorry could not resist). Love you both...healing power to you. TracyKS~I had rectal bleeding once from too much iboprofen (sp). Do you take Advil? I went to ER and they did all these tests. Turns out I had gastrointestinal bleeding. Terry~ how you doing??? Laura~How the hell was Tunica? Where the hell are you? OK...I freaking wanna jump back in bed...but NNNOOOOO I can't cause I gotta work and then sit at the computer later and "look" like I know what I am doing! xoxo

OMG Kat!!! Purple Power and Prayers to you and Manda. I can not believe how bad it got! Take a deep breath honey. I would be so freaking mad too...I remember the incompetency of the medical industry all to well. One stupid ass nurse once asked my Grandpa, "Are you sure you have to have a BM...I am going on break!" I wanted to slap that bitch down. Hang in there! Keep us posted! xoxoxoxoxoox

Haydee, you are still going to 'Bama in June too right? Just chekcing! Did you get the tweezers I sent? Heather, I pm'd you my email. :w00t: Jen, I will send it to you tonight...don't know what happened, I have you on my Violets list! I will send it to you and Heather! OK...bbl

Morning Girls~ Tracy...WELCOME HOME! I am sure you feel better just getting that behind you. Hope the eye doc helps...what are they gonna do for your neck? Michelle...Good luck today! Judy...I agree, Jennifer Hudson sounded and looked amazing. She sure slimmed down in the last couple months. Stress does that for ya'. Kat...thanks for the thing on Kurt. That was great! Well, today, I've got the runs from all the shit I ate yesterday! The best thing is that today, I am bringing ALL THE LEFTOVERS to school. I bet it won't last the morning! We've got crissount (sp) sandwhiches, turkey tortilla wraps, cream puffs, tortilla chips, etc...OH MY...no wonder I have the runs! Have a great day, I'll pop in later!
