Morning Violets~ Tracy and Denise~ Happy Bandaversary! I loved your post Tracy...it has been an amazing ride for you. TracyK and Janie~I too am sad to see it end. But it will be back in July! Yeah!!! Terri~OMG loved that bird and heart. What fun...and you are doing sooo great at it! Well, I think I told you all about the hummingbird that built her nest about 10 feet from Klaus our Rottie??? Well, you guessed it...dead hummingbird this morning, and an empty nest:mad::huh2:. Susanne was pissed, but I am not completely sure he killed her. If so, why didn't he eat her (he EATS EVERYTHING). So...kinda sad and pissy around here today! Have a great day! xoxoxoxoxox

If I have to wear jammies...then I am not going! Kidding! Actually, I don't usually, but I will for our trip, lol. Can't believe we are in the teens!

Hey Everyone~ Denise...happy Bandaversary! You've done so very well. Considering the band is for life, I'd say your first year is a success! So good to see you posting! Kat~ Hugs! Sending Manda some purple power!!! Well, about noon, right when it was 100 degrees, we decided to move a bit. We went out and cleaned the poop, and played water w/ Klaus our Rottie. His ear is getting eaten alive w/ the damn flies. We spray this stuff on him, but they are ruthless. His left ear is bloody and raw. Been this way since he was a baby. Doctor said he has that kind of blood that attracts 'em. I feel so bad. We put liquid bandage on, and other stuff...nothing works. It is only during Spring time, but my poor little baby! Then we decided to donate our TV, surround sound, DVD and a SHITLOAD of other stuff to a friend of mine I teach w/. She is in her late 50's, and is raising 3 kids under 4 years old (two are her DD's who is hooked on drugs, and the third baby is her 17 yr old grand daughter). She is a great lady, but literally had 3 car seats in her car. She foreclosed on her house last month and now is renting a house. So we gave her a bunch of stuff. She takes this stuff up to the swap meet and sells it. It really helps her out. The TV we gave her Susanne and I bought 3 years ago for nearly 400$...so she should be able to get some good $$$. gonna order a pizza and relax...have a great night! xoxoxooxox

Our school is putting on the play Bye Bye Birdie this week! I am going to try to go, but it is not lookin good. I get my fill (finally) on Thursday which is opening day.

I wish! I MUST check emails at least every 48 hours, as per my Walden contract. Other than checking emails (students will know I am gone), no work, no puters, only fun!!! I wonder if the site will crash w/out all the violet posts???

You can carry on a lap top. You just need to put it out on the security scan thingy. If you bring your laptop, can I pop on and check my Walden email?

Thanks Jenn~ I almost posted if any Violets knew any "fix the toe" tricks. I'll try it today. That is exactly what I need...like a sauve to draw this infection out! Yeah!!

OK, now it is official! We have a theme song! WOOHOO! We have a color (purple), a mantra (WWJD) a flower (obvious), a drink (well, Crystal Light and Margies, lol), and now a song!!!

Hey Violets~ We had a great time last night. Had a couple (male) over for drinks and appetizers (yummy spinach dip from Costco). Had a few Vodka and diet cokes, Susanne had 1 beer. Then they invited us to go out to dinner. But first we needed to stop by this gay bar, because Rob's softball team was doing a fundraiser to travel to Seattle. Anyway, there was a drag show going on. It was soooo funny. We had another drink and watched the show while Rob sold tickets! (I ran into a dear friend of mine, who just finihsed his dissertation and is in 2nd round of revisions). Then we went to dinner! At 9:30pm! Susanne and I usually eat about 5pm, sometimes earlier. But it was nice to do that...something different. (I had the chix picatte, 2/3 is in fridge now, lol) Long story long...it was a fun night! Today, we are up before 6 am, watered, and jumped on LBT. Susanne is already doing laundry and reading the paper. We weren't sure if MIL was coming today or not, so we have no real plans. Perhaps a movie later. Michelle~ I am looking forward to meeting which ever Michelle arrives! I can't believe it is sooo close! I have an infected toe from where I clipped a cuticle too close. Then, from wearing shoes for 2-3 days, now it is fully infected and KILLING ME! I may need some meds, but have been soaking it and using peroxide. Planning on wearing thongs all weekend. I need to get it fixed so I can get my pedi before our trip! OK...I am rambling! I hope everyone has a great weekend! xoxoxoxoxo

Hey All, I am here too! Just busy. S has moved in:biggrin: completely and will be fully retired from military mid May! I am meeting a group of people from here in May in Texas! Working on doctorate degree still and trucking along. Not doing so great on weight loss...but I will kick it in soon, especially next Thurs w/ a fill! xoxoxoxoox

I am so happy for our trip! I am looking forward to getting on the plane...meeting my dear violets, enjoying the company...aaahhh!

I am having a glorious day~ MANUEL IS IN IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION!!!!!!! Yesterday he called someone a "Pinche Joto" which translates for my non Spanish friends into Fu*@ing Faggot! So I HAPPILY wrote his sorry ass up for sexual harrassment!:thumbup: OH HAPPY DAY!!! I got a message that the site was down for maintenance this am...so glad it is back! xoxox

Michelle~ COWGIRL UP!!! KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES!!! Nobody should try to mess w/ a Violet! Never underestimate the power of PURPLE!! You can do it! We are behind you!!:tea::cry_smile::rolleyes2::Banane20::confused::Banane36::tt1: The middle finger one is all about your attitude, not directed to you! Let us know how it went! And, were you trying to tell me something in your post about something??? It was a bit unclear:wink:. THANKGOODNESSITISFRIDAY!!! Been a long week...didn't get home last night until 8.Susanne was sleeping by 8:30. Anyway, we have a couple coming over for drinks and appetizers tonight. MIL may come this weekend, wont know until later today. I came home and had a beer yesterday. I've noticed I am a bit cranky and short tempered. I got into it w/ a friend yesterday at this fund raiser event. We buy these tickets, and then they call out numbers and winners get to PICK these beautiful baskets (full of goodies). Well Susanne won first!!! But she is shy and told me to go up and pick one. My friend won second. She comes up and is "looking w/ me" (or so I thought)...she tells me, "hey, there is a movie one w/ passes down there." I go over to look, and then she takes the one I was really looking at (w/ wine, olives, a baggot of bread, beautiful basket). I turn around from looking at the movie one (FULL OF CANDY AND MOVIE PASSES) which I didn't want, and she was gone w/ the basket I wanted. I was pissed and didn't hide it well. I think, I should have picked first since I (well susanne) won first. THERE, NOW THAT I'VE TYPED IT...I FEEL BETTER. Of course, she was like, oh, take this one, if you want it. Then she was alll defensive cause I was obviously pissed. Which, then I had to say, "oh no, I don't give a shit...blahblahblah" I think what I was really pissed about after the whole thing was how she turned it around like I was the "bad guy" and I ended up apologizing. F%CK...getting pissed again. Going to my happy place! Have a great day! xoxooxoxox

Hey Violetas~ I have a logistics question??? I get in at like 2ish, and Judy a short bit later. Tracy is our "driver" pick up gal. My question is...where do we all meet? Is there a fountain or certain landmark in SA airport? How will we know where to go. I mean, if there is afountain say, I can ask anybody, "hey, where is the fountain?" Or are our drivers picking us up at the gate when we deplane? Just wondering, especially since I don't really know anyone. Oddly, I think I could pick all the violets out of a line-up (which is a topic for another post, lol) but in a crowded airport...maybe it will be harder. Anyone been to SAT??? Any ideas?

I don't know??? I can do either, but I am really a chill out kinda girl. I like shops, but not malls...and not clothes shopping, more artsey (sp) stuff. I can go either way. When are we getting tattoos?? KIDDING! (or am i)

Kat, stay strong! Purple Power for DD and for you!

OMG...great minds think alike. I read Laura's post and thought, " aahhh grasshopper...it will come soon!"

Jenn, what was the lemon water drink you drank. what are the details. How much, how to make, how often, etc. Thanks, my fingers are still bloated from the other day.

Morning Violets~ I did not get a fill yesterday. Long story, but I got very sick during 7th period...so much so, I spent the entire period in the potty (thank goodness Cindy was on her prep...I owe her). Anyway, I had a very important meeting afterschool, so I had to take 2 Imodium (will I ever go potty again?). I was sick, dry mouth, head spinning...cold sweats...yuck. The culprit??? Iced sugar free coffee from McD's. I was online researching how many calories were in this "sugar free" beast, cause it tasted soooo good. Too good. They have the nutritional value for the regular coffees, but not the sugar free. Anyway, I WONT be having one of those again anytime soon! I slept in a bit. Gotta run now. Terry, everything looks good on the spread sheet...thanks, I was finally able to get on there! xoxoxoxooxox

Hey Girlies~ I missed you all today. Hate LBT w/drawls...they are bad. I posted this morning and then WHAMO...the whole site pooped out! I had about 25 LBT pop up screens and I could not stop it. I ended up control/alt/delete just to get 'em to stop. Janie and Tracy~ Did you notice when Shelia was "bawling" that her entire face was dry?!? WTF...was she auditioning for something. I mean really! I hated it, felt a little bad for her too. But the drama w/ Julie...PPPAAALEEASE! OK...another Violet down! I talked to Terry today! I love it! I've chatted w/ Michelle, TracyK, and now Terry! I had to share a little secret w/ her about our trip...but it was great to just talk. Terry, I sent you the gmail email addy too! Well, Susanne is here and we are watching SVU...then heading to bed. Have a great night ladies! xoxoxoxoxo

Good Morning Violets~ Susanne left yesterday...and comes back today! She only has until the 15 of May...and we are both counting the minutes. She does take quite a bit of time off...she has a BAD case of "senioritis" and just doesn't want to be there anymore! I have my study group tonight! I posted grades for Walden last night and can focus on diss for the next 2 days. I'd like to take a few days off, but...I am going on a trip in May to Texas. Perhaps I've mentioned it to ya'll:rolleyes::tt2:. So I can't take too many days now. Susie~ I am saying prayers for your family now...but especially for you. I've beeen a caregiver to two people at the same time. All the while I was a beginning teacher AND getting my master's degree. I know what you are going through. Take some deep breaths from time to time, come to LBT, take a walk...whatever you need for YOU. ((hugs)) I am trying to figure out Terry's spreadsheet...but I need extra help, lol. Can't wait to see it though. Sorry about the move(s) Laura...what a PITA. Hopefully it will be settled soon and you'll be happy. Don't you go to Tunica this weekend? Kat~ that is wonderful about the new bandster. I hope she pops over here from time to time. Michelle~ I am sure you helping w/ the little one is a HUGE help for your friend. I am sorry that is happening. Keep us posted! Tracy ~ Tracy..good for you w/ no smokes. I had a dream night before last that I was smoking again, and trying to hide it from Susanne. I was puffing fast, not thinking about the smell. Hell, I woke up feeling guilty even (Catholic curse). I sometimes miss it...but I know I can not even have one. Tracy and Janie~ Loved the show. It is boring, and I DON'T WANT SHELIA TO WIN...I hope Ryan takes it all. Even if weirdo gets 2nd place. I get my fill today!!! I still have some restriction, but I need a fill. I am looking forward to it. I PB'd last night, but that is my fault. Have a great day! xoxoxoxoox

Posting now just to see how many posts I have posted in the past...lol!

Wouldn't it be horrible if we all get together and have no group personality. We just sit around and look at each other! YEAHFREAKINRIGHT! You girls are my PEOPLE! XOXOXO

LMAO...I am famous for flashing people!!! Sadly, I am part of the itty bitty titty committee...but I'll flash anyone!

Yeah Haydee~ That makes a huge difference w/ the towels. I (and all the violet travelers) appreciate it that mucho! Yeah, I am excited. I am gonna buy a bather the week we leave! I want to quickly lose this 70 pounds, hahahaha:lol:. Anyway, thanks for the towels sweetie!
