The Shack: i'm number 299 on the list! I probably won't see it till Christmas!

Water for elephants: It must be a good book. The hold list is super long. I'm number 63 in line to get it!

Thanks girls! I'll look for these at the library tomorrow...

i need a nap too... just found out i'm leaving sunday night for my trip... i'm going to the library tomorrow to get some books. I'm reading a good book right now but it's a long epic tale and sometimes I switch over to a light book for awhile to clear my head a little. Any suggestions??? Good chick lit or just a good book that's not too heavy on the brain??

yah, that's so weird how two people that weigh the same can look totally different... I have a hot friend who weighs about 15lbs more than me but she looks soooo much better than me. She's very curvaseous and has a flat belly so that helps, LOL. Got my secret santa! Thank you Laura! One thing though, my email address is wrong on that spreadsheet that she attached. So girls, please use my haydee99 email adress. I don't ever check my other one anymore. The only reason I checked today was because Laura had said she had sent out the list and when I checked my gmail account it wasn't there.... That yogurt made my tummy hurt seriously...

people are just so frustrated and they've felt so hopeless for so long that now that they see a glimmer of a possibility of change and their emotions get the best of them... I hope that passion that everyone has this election gets directed towards making positive changes. Be it a democrat or a republican in the white house...

can't wait until we're in single digits!

Morning girls. How is everyone today?? Busy day yesterday. Today more of the same... Boss is back from out of town and my desk looks like a landfill... kill me now... I hate that I'm complaining about such petty stuff with everyone having so much more life altering stuff going on. I always need to keep that in mind. That however bad I think my day is going that it's nothing compared to what others are going through... TracyKS - I'm so sorry about what your mom went through. I can't even imagine. I'm praying that the shots helped... Judy - There's not alot of parents like you out there... Me and Juan were talking yesterday about how fortunate we were to have parents that support us and that stand by us through whatever we might be going through and we realized that not everyone has these type of parents. Your family is extremely blessed to have you and Bob in their lives... Pammy - you so lucky... you should kiss Susanne's feet every night... Oh how I wish I could come home to a cooked dinner, a clean house, laundry done! Are we jealous girls??? My band is really weird. Seriously. I had already scheduled another fill because generally I can eat eggs, bread, whatever for Breakfast but today I'm having trouble with my yogurt. Every bite is just sitting in my chest. Ugh. I don't know what to do...

((((((Judy))))))

Oh how I wish!!! I'm leaving on vacation next week and have to plow through this pile of work or else I totally would... Thanks for the potato suggestion. Never thought of that! I'll go home tonight and stick some in there.... I re-thought my position on the coffee. I'll got one cup, no sugar, and then i'll get started on my water... LOL... It smelled too good to pass up!

Suzie - I have resolved that today I am going to stick to CTCD! I am also promising myself that I will get ONE GALLON of water in. There. It's written down. I need to start now. I'm skipping my coffee today...

I got here so late this morning. Don't really want to be here... Ugh. How's everyone? Last night I made a pot of chicken stew but it was so salty! I don't want to waste it! It was a huge pot of it so I could freeze it and have leftovers. Now what? Does anyone know what I can do to save it?

Terry - I think you asked for a link to our wedding site? Here it is: www.oaktreemanor.net It's a bed and breakfast. Would be a great site to host a Violets reunion if ya'll are ever up to coming to Houston!

((((Michelle))))) Wishing for you some enlightement! I think we all go through this. I usually get depressed about once a month. Just know that you are an awesome mom and that if you do nothing else ever that will be completely enough...

You are my kind of travel companion!! Never too early to be prepared...

YAY YAY YAY!!! The only bad thing about deciding so far in advance is the wait! I want to already be discussing what we need to bring, where we are meeting, etc... etc... LOL!

ohhh TracyK - Macy looks soooo adorable. Poor mama, her little chick leaves the nest. Ever thought about having another baby?? Terry - so it starts! Barely the first day of school and already one Hector. Brace yourself!! Congrats on the jewelry sales! Yes, I can be at Red Onion at 6 on Thursday. ((((Jane)))) - Hope your day is not too stressful. I'll keep you in my prayers... ((((Suzie)))) - I hope it never happens to me but if I ever do happen to be in your predicament with my two sisters I hope I have half the strenght you have! I'm gonna have a lllllooooonnngg week this week. I'm transitioning from my current position at my job to another position. I have to get everything switched over to the new accountant before I go on vacation next week... I'm gonna be the new auditor here. They finally took heed to my grumblings about being unhappy. If I'm happy with this new position I might reconsider me moving to the other job in November. We'll see how it goes.... Next week i'm gone ya'll. I'm going to go to Mexico with Juan's mom. I'm going to go visit the city where they are from. I've never been and it's one of the most beautiful places in Mexico, San Miguel de Allende. Can't wait! The only downside... we're traveling by bus Yuck. She takes lots of supplies and materials to the less fortunate down there and it would cost too much to take everything on the plane with us. So we are boxing stuff up and taking it with us on the bus. A 16 hr ride... :eek: I'm gonna go stir crazy...

Terry - you booking your flight now or waiting??

Never tried it with my food. It might have the same affect on me if it sits in my pouch. I just notice it when I drink before dinner then sit down to eat. Just got up from my nap... Ugh, I feel so lazy now... I'm gonna start dinner and then wander outside to pick weeds out of my flower bed...

I need a nap too!! I haven't actually done anything to merit one though! Thursday sounds good to me Terry! Let's meet somewhere on 290? Maybe Red Onion? I heard that Fingers was liquidating... I need to stay away though. I need stuff but have money to spend. If I go I will spend money I don't have, LOL... I better go get a chicken out of the freezer. I need to start thinking about what to make for dinner already...

Yay Kat!! I'm so glad you got your goal but I wish that it was under better circumstances... Try warm stuff like Suzie said... Also.....I keep forgetting to ask ya'll but have ya'll ever noticed that your band gets considerably looser with alcohol? I had noticed it and when I asked my sister she said she had noticed it too but didn't want to say anything to me about it. Not saying that's a good thing but just an observation. If I drink two martinis it's like if my band isn't even there. Have no clue why... TracyK - everything ok? Thinking about you today. You're in my prayers... It's sooooo hot here today. We've been avoiding going outside day. I think we're gonna wait until late late late today to go outside and work on the yard. My shades aren't even open. I feel like i'm hibernating, LOL... Terry - what say you about meeting up? How's next week looking for you??

Yes over here too. I had already said I wanted to stay an extra day...

Yes Laura, don't be like my cousin. She found out she was two weeks pregnant and she started wearing maternity clothes ASAP. She started "eating for two" immediately and everytime we have a family function she sits on her ass and doesn't contribute because "she's pregnant". So anyway, she's only four months pregnant and she's gained like 50 lbs because she's "eating for two". I don't want to know how much she's gonna weight at her nine month mark...

ugh, that sucks! I don't know why I missed this particular piece of drama.... off having my own drama i presume... I've always LOVED San Antonio though. Always good experiences and good memories...

Ugh, my bank treats my like crap on a regular basis and I'm just too lazy to move accounts. I've got everything in my life set up on auto-draft so I just think it would be a pain to find another bank that will treat me right. Story of my life girls, LOL...
