What happened at the hotel in SA? I've heard ya'll mention it a few times but I missed that episode of drama...

How's everyone today? I was out in the field this morning, doing some training with some managers... Even though I have no kids in school I kinda love back to school time. It seems like everyone is more on a regular schedule. Like you can come into the office everyday and know what to expect. During the summer it seemed like it was something different going on every week with everyones schedules. Also the traffic gets heavier but at least it's on schedule. You know M-F how long it's gonna take you to get to work. During the summer it's so sporatic (sp?).

THREE BUSINESS DAYS to call you back?? Ugh, so unprofessional. I hate doctors who don't take their hippocratic oath seriously. I mean you did say YOU COULDN'T EAT. That sucks Laura. I wish everyone could have a doctor like my fill doctor nearby. She's banded so she knows our struggles, she responds to you ASAP and she's reasonably priced. So now you wait till Wednesday? Stay on those protein drinks...

woot woot! (had to post something to subscribe to this thread!)

You know... I love ya'll so much. What a bunch of great, caring, supportive women we have here... I'm up for four nights if enough of us are staying...

I'm okay with the fluctuation...

yep yep, not one thin dime. those babies are money vacuums!

Oh yes Jenn, I forgot to mention that I'm so happy to see you posting again! No matter what is going on in your life you know you have a little safe place with us here. No hot older men at the Neal Diamond concert last night?? HEY, how far is Ithica from where you live?

hi hi hi girls! how's everyone this morning! 309 days is gonna fly by Judy. I'm soooo excited! I slept so weird on my neck last night and today I can't move it around too much... That's not good... Terry - I'm fully committed! Can't wait to see our new baby... Tell me how much you need for the deposit and I'll sent it right on over. Or we can meet for din din sometime next week and i can hand it over :smile2: Did you check the rates on flying out there? I don't know if I should go ahead and book now or wait. So far Southwest comes in around 50 bucks cheaper but I don't know if it's worth it to drive all the way down there for 50 bucks savings... Pammy - when does school officially start for you? Around here it starts next Wednesday. Kids are not too happy their summer is over... How can you drink 4 beers? You don't have problems with carbonation?? I feel like my chest is gonna explode when I take a sip of soda... The only alcohol I drink now is coconut rum and pineapple juice :wub: Who is oreokitty? You are making me want Oreos with my coffee this morning!! Bad kitty...

okay, that was gross... why my dog decided to get up from where she was laying at all the way across the room and come and throw up on my foot, i have no clue... have a good night tracy! michelle! not dumping you!! like i said, i really liked that we were able to connect a little bit and just wanted the opportunity to the same with another one of the violets. I didn't realize we were all keeping the same roomies or else i would have never asked. It don't matter to me one way or another... has anyone ever watched this bridezilla show?? these girls on this show are C-R-A-Z-Y. no hell, no way would i walk down the aisle with one of these girls... i just want to knock some sense into these boys. okay, i'm becoming too involved with this show, i need to shut it off. raising my blood pressure, LOL...

so my hunny called and said he's bringing dinner home from his mom's house. YAY! not that i don't like cooking, it's just that i hate coming up with what to cook. Good thing the tilapia is still half frozen! So, instead of being a good girl and taking this extra time that I have to go do something productive i plopped down on the couch to catch up with the gossip pages. I'm soooo bad! I'm watching bridezilla and surfing the gossip sites at the same time. talk about ADD... judy - sorry! didn't realize ya'll had already decided...didn't mean to step on any toes! Doesn't matter who I room with, was just trying to connect with another one of ya'll... I'm sure I can just find someone else! back in a bit, my coconut just threw up on my foot...

Rhuematoid arthritis - my grandma had it. Is it genetic? Is there anything I can do to try to prevent it from happening to me?? Jenn - have fun at Neil Diamond! My mama loves him! We got her and my dad tickets to his concert. He's coming into town in November... Uh oh Judy, I stole pammy from you... I asked her to be my roomy for this one... I really enjoyed my drifting off to sleep talks with Michelle and we really learned alot about each other during those few minutes late at night. I'd like that opportunity with each one of ya'll! Hope you don't mind! Laura - aren't you glad you have insurance!! OMG those pills are expensive! So how is Russell feeling? Is he shitting rainbows or is he scared too, LOL? Ok, I'm off to make dinner now... No clue what to make. Probably tilapia and rice... I'll check back in later girls...

Oh my gosh Trace, that's exactly how we look to a baby!

Can't wait to go through this process with you!! Judy, didn't you say you knew some tips on how to sway the sex of your baby? Or was that for pre-conseption right? Cuz once the sperm gets to the egg it's already decided? I wasn't too good in biology!

Laura - Sorry I didn't call you back yesterday. I lost track of time after I got to my mom's. We were buried in memories :thumbup: Terry - that house looks awesome and it's not expensive at all! I would love to go there! TracyK - thanks again for your text! I was still here at work but buried in paperwork like always. As soon as I got it I clicked right over here... Judy/Jenn - I can't believe your summer is winding down already! That really sucks... TracyKS - hopefully everything went okay last night. You doing better today? I'm off for my coffee again... I'll be back later...

OH LAURA!!!! Oh my gosh, I'm so so so happy for you!!!!! I'm an auntie!!!!

((((((tracyks)))))) I hate those days too.... Anyway that you could agree to disagree and move on?? Fat chance, huh?? Not with our men... kat - that property looked beautiful! But unfortunately doesn't rent for less than a week in June. Me and my family always go through this same thing every year when we plan a family vacation. There is a million places we could go to but it's always so hard to decide! Anywhere there is a pool is fine with me!

hiya girlies! how is everyone today? rainy and gloomy here in houston. I think Jenn is going to a wedding and she needs a date. That's how I understood it. Well let me tell you how the vinegar is working - it hasn't touched my lips... After I went to Mary Jo last Thursday I decided that on Monday I would start the vinegar thing. I went out and bought a big bottle of it on Sunday. Late last night was when I started craving something sweet. But seriously, just the thought of having to put that nasty thing in my mouth made my craving go away. I took a cold shower instead, LOL. We'll see how I hold up this week... What I really need to do is have some in my car too. That way I won't be tempted to go through the drive thru on my way home... Happy Belated Birthday KAT!!! Sounds like you had a great time! Except for that bitchy lady. Ugh, i hate people like that. I'm gonna go get my coffee now... I cut way back on the sugar on it and hopefully will eventually just have it with milk... I'll be back!

MORNING PAMELA! How's your weekend gonna be? More skinny dipping? so jealous... Tracy - to tell you the truth, I never liked her on the show at first. I didn't like that fact that she would always make these obese people wait on surgery because they weren't mentally ready. NOW, after having it experienced it myself, I know that you must be mentally ready first before you do the surgery.

Kat - no! don't ever think that I would be angry at ya'll for telling me your honest opinion. Like I said, her prediction took me by surprise. She said that we were going to work on ME and that all she cared about was ME and that sometimes when people start working on themselves and getting to feeling like they matter a whole lot then you start making radical changes in your life. She just wanted me to be aware of that so that I'm not surprised when I start having these feeling of empowerment. I honestly truly do want to make things work with Juan, but only if he's willing to to. We both have issues and luckily she is a intimacy counselor too. She said we would bring him into our sessions later on but for now we will work on ME. One thing that I have noticed though is that since I am slowly changing my attitude, his has changed too. So that's a big plus! Suzie - yes, it scared me too. I wanted to cry. But I'm keeping an open mind and not rushing into anything... I love him with all my heart but one thing she did tell me is that I have to love myself just as much or more... Terry - her office is in the village. Kirby and Rice Blvd. She charges $120 per hour. You would like her. She reminds me of you. No bullshit. Jane - you really should try to find someone that's available now to help you. You know we're all rooting for you here but sometimes we listen better when it's one on one. Laura - I did want to hear it! I just didn't want to follow your advice, he he he. But that is one thing that I am exploring with Mary Jo. Why I continue to stay even though I've been treated like this for so long... She thinks I'm addicted to him. She just touched on that because she said we weren't going to get into Juan too much for a few more sessions... I'm going to get another book. Someone on here mentioned it before. Face the fear or something like that?? I'm going to look for it on Amazon...

Hi girls! My appointment with Mary Jo was great today. She is very very personable and makes you feel like you're talking to your best friend. She says she's got my back and that we're going to do this together all the way. I can call her at any time and can email her at any time that I feel I need to... How awesome is that? Anyhoo, first thing that I needed to share... She asked me what I binged on. I told her that it was ice cream, cake, cookies and candy. So, she said that anytime I was reaching for any of that stuff that instead of that I needed to fill a shot glass full of vinegar and hold it in my mouth for a full two minutes then spit it out. That I needed to do this religiously. EVERY SINGLE TIME. She said that after awhile that my brain will connect cake cookies and ice cream with a bad taste in my mouth and I won't want them anymore. !!!!!! I hope I hope I hope that's true. Can't hurt to try. Also another thing is that when I work out I mostly do cardio. She says that I need to do only 20 min of cardio and 40 min of weights. Three times a week. She says weights burn fat faster. So, I'm gonna start on Saturday with free weights and see what happens. She says that if I vow to do these two things religiously then by the time I see her again in 4 weeks I will be 20 lbs lighter. On another note... she almost guaranteed me that if I keep seeing her that more than likely I'll end up terminating my relationship with Juan. She asked me if I was okay with knowing that upfront. She says that once my self esteem and my self worth are where they are supposed to be that I won't tolerate the bullshit that Juan's been feeding me all these years... I didn't know what to say to that. That's not really what I was hoping to hear but she's brutally honest and she has a mouth like a sailor! LOL, I loved her! Okay, off to bed now. I've got another long weekend ahead of me. Packing packing packing...

Hi girlies! Well today is the big day, I have my appointment with Mary Jo. Ya'll will all be in there with me in spirit! I've done such a bad job with my homework though. I never even cracked the book open that she was having me read and I only wrote in my journal like three times. It's not just that I'm busy but I tend to make excuses for stuff all the time. Kat - no, we are not having a wedding this weekend. Thank goodness. They really take alot out of me. We have nothing else planned in August but we do have two planned in September. Ugh, well we started tackling my mom's house last night. There is no way that we are gonna get done anytime soon. My mom had to call in some reinforcements. One of my aunt's is coming up from Mexico for a week to help us out (she'll be here tomorrow) and another one of my aunt's is already over there today helping her sort through stuff. Thank goodness for my aunties! Terry - I always meant to ask you what you mean by that phrase below your avatar. You do what?

Tracy - we were posting at the same time. I'll look for macy's jumper tomorrow. If I find anything I'll call you and Terry both.

Kat, so glad that your son's surgery went well. And yes, sometimes it's scary when the doctor looks like Doogie Howser! Tracy - There's an Academy right by my work too! Let me know what size/style you're looking for and I'll stop by tomorrow to check. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. How does that happen to your back? I can't believe you have to miss the Astros game!! I would love to keep Macy but I don't know how she would react to staying with a stranger! Still, let me know if I can help... I'm off to throw together something for dinner. I've been at my mom's house most of the afternoon sorting through stuff. We still have a long way to go... Have a good night violets...

TRACY!! You look damn gorgeous woman! You looked beautiful before but this cut is so hot! Good for you for standing up for yourself! I hope Charles realizes pretty quickly that he's got a damn good woman and he should be PROUD that you don't kowtow to him or to any other man...
