103 days until the Violet's Palm Desert Get-Away!!

Didn't Will Ferrell play the electric piano in that skit?? Or am I thinking of something else? I just finished my 3rd rehearsal of the day. I'm singing Halleujah with guitar and flute backup. It's my favorite song to sing right now and I'm soooooooo enjoying it! I couldn't believe my luck when I was asked to sing it for the concert. Ethan was here until 7:00 tonight.. long day for the little guy, but we had fun.. He will be here again tomorrow and I will get to go in the pool with him. I have WW weigh in in the morning and then a church ladies luncheon at 11:30 and then the rest of my day is clear except for babysitting Ethan and then Grady comes at 4 so I'll have both of them. Gramma overload!!! Off to Walmart to get a few things and then settle in for the night with tv and reading. I started a new book.. I'm really enjoying it.. House Rules by Jodi Picoult.

Good afternoon, Violets.. Just finished my first practice and now off to the second of the evening. The third one is at 8 p.m. Sometime in here I have to figure out some supper. Ethan is here till 6:30, and I am done at 6:15 so hopefully will be here when he leaves. It turned out to be a beautiful day and Grampa and Ethan spent some time in the pool. I plan on doing that tomorrow. I planted a couple of Chinese money plants the other day and today planted one of the Ostrich ferns. When I turned my back and was planting wildflower seeds in a couple of pots, Ethan proceeded to dig up those things I had just planted.. arghhhhhhhhhh We talked about not shoveling in Gramma's flower garden. I have to get that boy busy with mulching instead of digging!! Off I go to the next rehearsal. The fun never ends!!

Good morning, Violets.. Looks like it might be a nicer day today. It sure was rainy, dreary and very stormy yesterday. I have some ferns to plant and hope to get them in the ground today if the rains hold off. Ethan arrives in a little bit and will be here until 6:30 tonight. Longgggggggg day, but hopefully we can get in the pool for a while this afternoon. Off to update the countdown. I have to have extra time in my day for that task now.. Everyone make it a good one!!!

Keep it rolling, Janie.. Take my share of the jackpot and buy another ticket!

Good afternoon, Violets.. Still a dreary day here. Very cloudy, misty and chilly. Not a day to do anything outside. I only got to see the last part of Glee last night, but it was sooooooo good. Loved the interaction with Sue and Will and who she voted for in Regionals. Off to fix a sandwich for lunch and then practice some for a concert on Sunday.

Good morning, Violets.. Can't post much here, I have upteen countdowns to manage.. whew!:tongue2: Rainy, dreary day here today. Glad I got things done in the yard yesterday. Bob got the backyard lawn mowed at 9:30 last night. It's supposed to rain the rest of the week and the grass needed to be mowed, so he couldn't wait. Guess I'll be working inside today. Off to my hospital shift, then practicing flute for a while before choir tonight. Everyone have a great day!!

Haydee.. Heather...and any others... PamELa started a new thread for us. Shrinking Violets...part 6 Who knew she was such a techie! Join us there!!!

Me too!! Got Kris's kitchen cleaned up, two loads of laundry done for her and planted the rest of the veggie garden and weeded most of it. Whew.. I'm tired!! Came home and finished the mulch edging around the pool and planted all the things I grew from seed except the tomato plants. Just have some ferns I got from ebay to plant now. Off to a rehearsal at 4. Will be back later.

Good morning, Violets.. Off to Kris's for the day. Took me awhile to get all the countdowns done!! Everyone have a great day!! And yes, Janie.. I have to go for an unfill just before surgery.

Wooo hooooo!! A Valentine Violet!!! Thanks for the text, PamELa.. I couldn't respond cause I was driving. According to the scale there, Bob lost 6# and I lost 7#. I was disappointed it wasn't the 10# WW says, but I'll take whatever. I'm going to weigh in at WW on Friday. Long day and I'm one pooped puppy. Everyone have a great night. Sleep well.

I'm at 3.7 in a 4 cc and I have a horrible time with anesthesia. Best I get it unfilled. I know my friend Kathy had hers unfilled before her hip replacement and we have the same doctor.

107 days until the Violet's Palm Desert Get-Away!! :thumbup:

211 days till the newest little Violet arrives!!

Good morning, Violets.. We're off to Port Huron 4 hours away for our fill appointment. I need to talk to my doc. about the unfill before surgery for me. Sure hope I can get back to get it filled up soon after surgery. I'm not looking forward to being without my band for very long. Everyone have a great day. Will check in tonight when we get back. Laura.... where the heck are ya??

Good evening, Violets.. Had a very nice day today. Church went well, the choir was awesome. I played flute while they sang a piece called Celtic Laud. My Godson who graduated today sang the Leonard Cohen Hallelujah ... the song from Shrek. He did a great job and I'm singing it next Sunday at a concert. We came home, cleaned a bit, took our adopted son out for his 44th birthday lunch and then we came home and I napped for almost 3 hours! When I got up we went to Walmart and Home Depot. I got the last plants for our new area in the back yard. Then we took a trip and checked out the places that are also on the garden walk. I must admit I'm relieved to know our gardens look as good or better than the ones we saw. whew!! I just hope there will be things in bloom in July. My blue irises are all blooming now and are gorgeous as are the lupines. I need to take some pictures soon before those blooms are gone. Tomorrow we leave at 8:30 for the 8 hour round trip to the fill doctor. I'm so glad that I'll be going down with a loss this time. I don't need a fill, but Bob does. He started out after his last fill doing really well, but he's started to slip into bad habits again. I'm taking a Water pill tonight and wearing really light clothes tomorrow.. hope it works!! Janie.. so sorry you didn't get all the birthday wishes you deserved today... Mae.. congrats on the lifetime membership and being below goal!!!! You're an inspiration!! Everyone have a good evening. sleep well!
