I loathe penny machines. Takes too much brain power...and I can not spare one ounce of that! I put in 10 bucks and pushed max bet and nearly fainted when the max bet on the 'penny' machine was five dollars!! I cashed out my other 5 bucks and went to my reels where I do not have to think about how and if I won or not.

OUCH suzie!!! (love the toenail polish) BTW...macy is still fever free...ssssshhhh...I don't wanna say that too loud! We just got back from unpacking some boxes at the new place. I bring acy to have her hair cut in a few minutes then we are going to come back here and pack more stuff. I have done really good today...so far I have had a protein shake and for breakfast I had oatmeal. GO ME!

Note to self... GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND PACK!!!!!!!

wow, I just kinda ended my post without saying bye or KMA! Sorry, I was in another world... Have a great day everone!! ((((hugs))))

Good morning violets~ Judy-glad you posted & texted too! I am so glad that you are having fun! Laura-30k, that is just insane. All I ever do with 10 dollar slots is watch the people that can afford to actually play them!:eek: 30k, I know it would be life changing for me too! I guess I will just have to stick with the lottery. TracyinKS-I PM'd you last night...so I am not forgetting you:tongue: Pamela-sounds like you had fun yesterday and that you are going to have fun again today! Swing by and get me so I can go swimming too Terri-you must have TONS of that motivational reading stuff at your disposal. You have an inspirational quote for every occasion. You remind me of a fortune cookie! :biggrin2: Kat-loved your pic the other day. You look fantastic! Was it different trying to walk without the the weight on you? Seems like you would have to adjust the way you are used to walking & standing. Might be a dumb question, just wondering. You know, kinda like when you have really long hair and you cut it and feel light headed for a few days?!:biggrin: Jane-sounds like you are making a great decision about switching your dr. The pharmacy was not lying I don't think cause they have no reason to lie...ya know? If I were you I would choose a new one now and go see him for just in case you need him withing the next few months! You don't wanna get caught with you drawers down, right? (or maybe you do?):laugh::thumbup: Michelle-that is so sad about your friend and her family. I will definitely keep them in my prayers. Haydee-uh huh, I see, bail out on me!:tt2: It is OK, I hope that you do not get rained on this weekend trying to help your parents! Last time we moved it POURED so I am praying for a decent weekend!:embaressed_smile: Jen-I miss you! Well last night before macy went to bed her fever was 101 (not bad) and today she is not running any fever so far. I am bouncing back & forth on the thought of bringing her to the dr. I will just wait to see if she starts running fever again today and if she does I will just go in with her so they can look her over. If she were in pain or miserable I would have brought her before now but overall she has felt quite good for a sick child. Just when the fever gets high, she lays down & sleeps. If her cough would go awa you would never know she is sick! I am SO glad we are moving this weekend...last night (or should I say the as*crack of dawn this morning) our neighbors were outside their townhouse between 10 PM and 2 AM partying like rock stars! What woke me up was something that sounded like a sledgehammer hitting our house. Come to find out, it was the bass! AND the live 3 doors down. Good thing we weren't right next door! We called the cops eventually and I guess they showed up and said something to them cause it sure got quiet around here. UGH...even when I was a kid I wasn't that disrespectful.

Oh yes...my dsd can not WAIT to get braces cause her 'friends' have them. UGH.. Oh, and the only thing 'flowing' towards me is junk food. Guess I need to build a dam. lol Thanks for the uplifting words Kat & Terri. I know what I have to do to turn things around. I just need to DO it. I need to not let my past dictate my future. The past few days I have been pretty good and I haven't gained any more...so that is a good thing! Now if I can sart the scale in the other direction I will be doing GREAT! I need to brainwash myself about Sonic only having diet coke or iced tea....ya right! lol

I 2nd what michelle just said....Tracy you should be the spokesperson! Where can we vote? :sad_smile:

update: Macys fever is back up to 103.2 Keep sending the purple healing vibes...

:cool2: :smile:

The last thing I need right now is something blasphemous. Now if the "J" actually said JUDY I would get it. lol

I 2nd the benadryl...

LAURA- I know you said sometimes you just skim through posts, so I wanted to make sure you read this one...lol:tt2: I have a picture of all the Violets on the front porch of our cabin. I had it printed out at walmart and I am carrying it around in my purse. Macy saw the picture and pointed at Judy and asked "who is she?" I said "Judy". Macy said "she is nice, right momma?" "yes babygirl she is very nice". Then she pointed to YOU and said "what is her name momma?" I said "Laura". Macy goes "she's pretty". I said "she sure is pretty, what do you think is pretty about her?" Macy goes, "she is just beautiful, right momma?" "yes babygirl, she is beautiful". Thought you would like to hear that....

Good morning everyone- Happy Monday. I went and picked up dd yesterday. Saturday night she stayed at my sisters house and she also had my little neice spend the night. Well, my neice was sick Sat night so guess what happened....you got it....macy woke up with a fever & sore throat last night. This morning she is fever free but I am keeping her home to make sure she stays that way. Lets pray that is over this quick. Pray for me too cause I have issues... :grouphug: Have a great day everyone. BBL

Well, I am not gonna do that trip but you will be passing me on the way to Galveston so I will come & wave bye-bye to you all from the dock :redface:

whew...terri missed it too....now I don't feel bad :redface:

did I miss something? what link for what cruise?:redface:

Laura-you may not have had to work as hard as others have to lose weight but you have struggled at times to make good choices. I recall some posts from you when you had junk at work that you fought yourself off of. The band is not a miracle...you coud eat around the band if you wanted to, you have just made a good judgement call NOT to eat around the band. Do not cut yourself short. Give yourself some credit. You have had to work at it...just maybe not as hard as some folks. You said that you do not eat fast food anymore...well that is directly related to you working your tool. I am quite sure if you worked at it hard enough you could find something on that fast food menu to eat, and if not then there is the mental thing we go through having to deal with the fact that we are not allowed that stuff anymore. So whether it is mental or physical, it can still be a challenge. I just do not want you go through this thinking that you aren't doing anything cause you are....just maybe not as much as you thought you would, ya know? So in a nutshell, your band and YOU are doing a fantastic job!!

Bon Voyage Judy!!! Good morning violets~Had a great nights sleep. Macy is at moms and I slept like a log! I still woke up kind of early but that's OK. Terri-you are right, we just moved here in December but we have lived on the same property for years so our landlord would not have a problem if we left our lease early. It is relatively easy to find 2 BR houses. The hard part is finding prices that are reasonable but yet in decent neighborhoods. So it is fun to just ride around & look. I am so sorry that you are going through tough times. (((hugs))) So what does everyone have planned. We know Judy is cruising and Pammie is Vegasing...I am just gonna kick back & relax. Have a great time everyone. bbl.....

Denise-what a beautiful baby boy...what a tiny miracle! Terri-glad I could assist in shooting coffee out your nose :biggrin2: Haydee (((((((hugs))))))) Jane-(((((hugs))))) to you too! Oh Lord...((((((((((((((violets))))))))))))) we all need some hugs! There...that is better! Everyone is covered in te hugs department.:rolleyes2: Hi all violets~ DH and I drove around today looking at houses...key word in that sentence is looking. We have a 3 BR house and I am starting to look at 2 BR because his kids hardly ever come over and we are wasting money on a BR that we never use. Just doesn't make sense. Have a great night violets and I will have coffee ready in the morning for any of you that want to stop by and have a cup and visit(I wish:rolleyes:)

Good morning ya'll- TGIF Well I was just gonna do half a day today cause my mom & stepdad are coming to get macy for the weekend and we were gonna go to lunch but the girl that wors with me called in SO...I will still get to go, I will just have to go in there and put my foot down...err, or maybe just whine & cry about it until I can leave:biggrin: Pammie-have a great time this weekend at the concert! LUCKY LADY! Everyone have a fantastic time in whatever you do and please be careful! By the way, I am still being horrible in my eating and can't seem to control myself and it is really taking a mental toll on me. Pretty bad when I start thinking maybe I should have had gastric bypass....:smile:

:thumbup::confused2::smile::thumbup::crying::thumbup::tt2::biggrin::tongue2: You forgot me...but guess what :smile: (I love you anyway:biggrin::smile:)

Judy-never heaard of that dr...sorry
