Good morning girls~ We had a great night last night. It was a Pro Bull Riding event...and it was a blast! Today, I have Walden work and church! Making bbq chix tonight! I am starving now, that is why I am thinking about it! Everyone have a great Sunday! Tonight is a REAL school night! Gotta decide what I am wearing tomorrow??? xoxo

Good Morning~ It is beautiful here! We've opened up the windows and are enjoying the cool morning and the waterfall! We are going to a rodeo tonight!! I love rodeos and it is a Pro Bull Riding rodeo!!!! It is in Ontario, which is 1.5 hours away...but we are looking forward to it! Everyone have a great day. Hey, does anyone watch Mad Men?? OMG, loving it!!! xoxoxox

Judy, So glad you are back to business!!! That is wonderful news! I talked at length w/ doc about the sleeve. It is the same as the band, and has the overall same success rate. I am TIRED of the 40 year old battle w/ this. I know it is not going to be "easy" but I am ready to start this. xoxoxo

Judy, you can ask for anti naseau (sp) meds. Sending you prayers and love Judy...waiting for update! Quick check in. Went from 1.2 in band to 2.0...and I am HAPPYHAPPYHAPPY!!! I am SERIOUSLY considering bypass surgery, and had a very long talk w/ the doc. He said there are new studies showing that nearly 50% of lapband pts fail (or the band fails the pt)..either way! May do it near Thanksgiving. I have about 5 or 6 friends who had it and they all say they are so happy they did it...and they'd do it again in a a sec. gotta boogey...love you all. please text me if anyone hears from Judy...will be away from puter today, and have a mammo at 3:30! oxoxox

Judy...so sorry to hear this. Hang in there...sending you tons of purple power and love!!! xoxoxoxo

good point...should we buy in advance? online or phone? I already arranged for my sub (well, with the sub and not with my school).

Hi Girls~ SOOO EXCITED! Been too freakin' busy to think straight, but I glad ya'll are on it! Haydee, so excited to hear Sophia is kicking up a storm...little soccer player perhaps (wearing pink cleats, of course). I NEVER ride many rides, really just a few Michelle listed. LOVE PIRATES...and would LOVE to eat in that resturaunt if you want. We need to make a reservation so let me know if you want. We tried to make a reservation at 11am last year (we were there in Oct for Gay Days), and the first opening was at 8pm! It will be fun. Just hope and pray that Susanne can go w/ us (she really needs to drive...hate LA traffic and don't like to drive in it). I need a van for all of us too! CAN'T WAIT! We are going to a bull riding rodeo Sat night!!! Love rodeos and haven't been to one in years! Can't wait! Judy, loved the Grady rocking out vid on fb. Good to see Kris, feel like I know her. The little man has some good rhythm!! Jane, glad the iron thing is almost over. Do you read when you are there? I am reading Such a Pretty Face which is great...WHEN I get in reading time. I'll go a week or two before I touch it. Oh yeah...getting a fill tomorrow!!! I hope he is aggressive! I really need a muzzle on my mouth. My friends and I are gonna start WW on Monday AGAIN! Hopefully, I can lose that last 75 lbs before ya'll get here...haha!!! OK...off to watch BB. It is funny cause I LOVE IT IN JULY, and by the time school starts, I get waylaid w/ all my crap, I lose interest! Love you girlies...can't wait to see you...can't wait to feel Sophia and Izzy kick up a storm at Disney! xoxoxoxoxo

Morning ladies~ 7th and 11th grade!!!! WTH??? When did that happen? I thought they were little guys. Well, I guess I've known you for a long time now. I always trip out on how old my friends kids are getting. I met my friends twins when they were 1.5 yrs old...now they are 9 in the 4th grade! Tell 'em congrats and have a great year! The kids come Monday! Whether we are ready or not...they come. I met about 6 yesterday of my new 6th graders. They are so cute when they are wide eyed and nervous. It is when that wears off that it changes!

Haydee, hope the cake was good...sounded perfect! Judy, hope you get some pool time today! It is 93 degrees NOW, which is our LOW! Today's high is 117!!! Wowser! Well, gotta run and put my face on! oxoxxo

Morning girls~ Jane, I hope you get to rest up soon! At least you can rest here! Off to work!

Just got home from buying a ton of back to school clothes. I had to get rid of 2 bags of clothes and 3 bras just to have enough room in the closet and be able to "sneak" 'em in so Susanne doesn't find 'em...wish me luck.

Morning girls~ Got home yesterday and Inge, Susanne's mom was released Sat. She is home w/ her bff's and Susanne. Susanne will be home in the next couple of days!! Thanks for your prayers...she did AMAZING...and was even released a day early! I've gotta run some errands today,and am skipping church again! I have too much to do today and it is easy to make an excuse:tt2:. hope all is well w/ everyone! xoxoox

Your post made ME excited for back to school! I do like this time of year, well, love/hate it...but Fall is fun, holidays coming, football, cooler weather, new school year, yeah!!! Plus this year is a violets trip too!

Hey girls~ I will be going to Phoenix in a few hours! Gotta do a bit of this and that first. Everyone have a great day! BLT pasta sal sounds DELISH!!! I got Haydee's flight info...YEAH!!! Text or call me if something big happens!

Hi Girls~ Michelle, YEAH!!! Congrats on the job well done..and on the kick ass fill. I get one next week, i've put on 10 pounds this summer!!! When I work out, I have a huge appetite. Plus, eating shitty food...a good fill will serve me well. What are some good protein shake ideas? I haven't had one in years, and really need to pick up some unjury next week. WHAT ARE YOUR (YOU ALL) SHAKE SECRETS???? I like 'em in the morning, and like that w/ the Unjury, I am starting the day w/ 20 g. of protein. Judy, so glad to hear you are "on the mend" and mending well!!! I am ready to go back to work, just not ready for the alarm clock..that is what is killing me the most. Well today is day 3 of 3...and I am ready to not do this anymore. It is hard to sit and listen all day, especially when teachers are so used to talking! Purple power thoughts and prayers for Susanne's mom tomorrow! Surgery is at 1pm (our time). OK...have a wonderful day! xoxoxox

worked out and it cut into my puter time! love you guys...pop in later! yeah michelle!

Hey girls~ OMG when the alarm went off...I laid there and thought WTF is that??? haha...I am soooo tired and have to sit in a boring ass training. I will try to pick a better attitude and say TODAY I AM GOING TO LEARN A GREAT DEAL OF GREAT STUFF, HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY SEEING MY FRIENDS (ABOUT 6 PEEPS FROM WORK), AND HAVE ALL THE ENERGY AND PEACE I CAN FIND. Did that work? I'll let you know! I'll be home after 5...everyone have a great day! xoxoxoox

Hey Girls~ We had a great time in Vegas!!! The show was AMAZING and her talent is off the charts. The "extra" she puts on in the world is just for show...she has an amazing raw talent! Great evening!! We came home yesterday and gelled...and vegged...and I took a nap until 6:45pm! uggg, needless to say I didn't sleep well last night. I stayed up and watched my first Netflix vid...Mad Men season 1. Anyone watch that show...love it and now can't wait until the next one comes! Skipping church today (first one all summer) and hanging out. We have a friend coming over to sew the curtains etc. My biggest accomplishment today will be a shower! Judy, bend bend bend!!! And enjoy the pool! OUrs has been too cool lately. If the night temp goes into the 70's the pool is too cool. I need a few days of 114. Michelle, I'd kill for a rainy day! I had a dream last night about a rainy day....i wish! Laura, hope you had fun w/ Kathy. Can't wait to see pix!! Janie, when do you start the iron? Are you near the office/hosp. or is it far away? Good luck with that. Haydee, enjoy all the spoiling from your mom. I actually felt a pang of jealousy when I read that. This is an amazing time for you and your family...and send over some of mom's cooking! I am officially back to work tomorrow. I have 3 days of training sitting there listening...which is not easy after being off all summer! OK...off to check Walden! have a great sunday!

Morning Girls~ We've got a busy day today. Got a long list of crap to do before we leave the house at 1:30 today. Susanne has an interview at my school for a security position. She is already employed by our district but as a roving sub, and this would be to work at my site. Cross you fingers. Then right after, we are hitting to road to Vegas!!! LADY GAGA HERE WE COME!!! Can't wait!!! Michelle, your party sounds fun. Not to "attend" but would be fun to be a fly on the wall...haha. Who cleans up the aftermath? Laura, it is pretty funny you didn't know what time your company opens. The "evil" was a hit...but I only had a tiny piece (cut one of those batches into 24 pieces). BUT OMG, EVERYONE LOVED THEM!!! Judy, you hanging in there? I hope the "blues" lift for you soon! Jane, so what happened at 8:40??? Haydee, did you see my email yesterday...about postponing? I wasn't sure from your post. OK..off to look "busy". I need to go get my shot, pick up the mail, pick up a framed pic from Micheals. What do you all think of Steven Slater? I LOVE HIM!!! XOXOXOXO

ummm, don't delete it! I could read it easily! I love hearing from you...we all do!!! LOL jane, what happened at 8:40. I am sure the purple power didn't let you down...or did it!

Hey V's~ Home from the gym. I hadn't gone in 2 weeks today...felt good but almost killed me the last 10 min on the eliptical. Just kept thinking "8 songs...8 songs"! But I did it!!! I am going to send you an email on something...so I'll do that next! Today is this and that...but not really sure yet. I have to get the TB test read after 9:30am. Judy, glad they made it there safely! Michelle, actually I don't mind back to school time. I like the Fall: football, cooler weather, upcoming holidays, and the student behavior is best. It is that damn APRIL month that kills me. I am done, kids are done, and they are nasty rotten little people. haha...REALLY HOPING FOR YEAR ROUND!!! Laura, omg, I LOVE the vids of C. He is sooo big now, and I would love to play w/ him for a bit. He is smart and too cute! Haydee, what is up chica!!! How is preggos??? WE need an update! Jane, did you get the days off for next month?? Just tell 'em...I am not asking you, I am telling you that I won't be here! haha, in a perfect world right! OK...off to write ya'll an email. xooxox

WOOHOO!!! I am jeallllyyyy!!! Take pix, can't wait to see! Home from school, the room is ready, well...still need organization and planning, but most posters are up and the desks are ready. aaahhhh I am exhausted, and need to now grade papers.....uuugggggg oxoxxo

One will be given away, and one will be for a pot luck.
