TracyK

You know...I just found out today, right now, that just letting something go (or someone) and moving on with life without giving it another thought is a form of forgiveness. I guess I do forgive after all. I could always "forgive" the little things. Major things or a BUNCH of little things that add up over time....I just walk away from it/them and go on with life. Glad to know I was doing the healthy thing! LOL

Tracy-sorry you feel crappy but congrats on the NSV...that is way cool! When I got that e-mail I LMAO cause I can relate. I just wanna smack people that say, "hot enough for ya". UH, :biggrin: yeah...

This is how I feel, maybe Terri & Haydee feel the same way.... too cute not to share this. It is long but worth it! Dear Diary: June 10th: Just moved to Texas ! Now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here. June 14th: Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper. June 30th: Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here. July 10th: The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected. July 15th: Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body). Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this. July 20th: I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The car now smells like Kibbles and $hits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again. July 25th: The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts. July 30th: Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now. $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come here? Aug. 4th: It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state. Aug. 8th: If another wise a$$ cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to strangle him... D@mn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!! Aug. 9th: Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car, I thought my a$$ was on fire. My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and a$$ . . . Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried a$$, and baked cat. Aug 10th: The weather report might as well be a d@mn recording. Hot and sunny...Hot and sunny...Hot and sunny...It's been too hot to do $hit for 2 d@mn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this d@mn state? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live in this d@mn heat. Aug.14th: Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead. Forgot to crack the window and blew the d@mn windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? 'Hot enough for you today?' My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Texas ...What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here?? Will write later to let you know how the trial goes...

Terri-SO, how does it feel being one day closer to half a century old? :lol:LOL (said with much love & respect:tongue2::biggrin:) I can't say much cause I am not THAT far behind ya! Wow, seeing you describer what you are doing on your vacation is right up my alley! Haydee-hook me up with some astros tkts! I wish it could be for one of the yankees games they are playing this weekend, but that is a pipedream! lol That game has been sold out for like...ever. How are you today? When did you say your dad go for his TT? I'll bet he is nervous! I just finished my lean cuisine lunch. It was really good. I HAVE to be good eating at work cause I threw out all the junk. Now I am starting to have the nervous "i don't have any junk around me" jitters... :teeth_smile:

Tracy-was the click you hanging up or did you say yes or no? lol

Good morning violets-sobriety day #4 is here. Haven't been eating junk but I still just feel like a cow. Maybe it is TOM doing it to me...who knows....I will just keep on keepin' on. Terri-that is MRS Dawg to you...lol you crack me up. Judy-I would have a tough time singing at a funeral. I applaud you for being able to hold your composure to do it! I would butcher the song while I sobbed....whether I knew the person or not. Pammie-your summer is almost here...I can feel your excitement all the way over here!! Michelle-congrats on your 3 days of sobriety! TracyinKS-how are things going with you? Laura-I was gonna watch that show and forgot about it...has it been good? Ocean water is yummy...I agree :teeth_smile: Jane, Haydee, Jennifer, Suzie, Kat....hiya there ladies!! (hope I did not forget anyone) Have a great dy everyone!!!

hmmmm.....its quiet!

Tracy-:tongue2: LOL Do you think that a MJC would be OK as a meal replacement? Just wondering:teeth_smile:

A little girl in macys class has lice AGAIN... this is like the 4th time in 2 months which leads me to believe she is not getting rid of them at all. YIKES....

Good morning everyone! ((((hugs for kat))))) I would have to throw myself on the mercy of the court and say I am sorry but what can I do now? I would not be able to just stew in it. Best of luck to you. I did pretty good on CTCD yesterday (considering TOM). ho hum...(that is my mood today) have a good day everyone. I will check in later...

Where is Judy? JUDY........

Nice try Kat...lol I was wondering who would figure out what MJC meant! Laura-love the pics! I would love to go to NY! Pamela-I scored 7. Should have been 8 but second guessed myself and changed one of them. Hi everyone...just sitting here watching spongebob with macy...have a great evening.

I can't see the pics until I get home :behindsofa: boo

I am doing good no CTCD as well (so far) Tracy-I will send prayers up for your parents! Terri-you can win your rewards!! I have faith in you! When I said 'sobriety' I really meant it cause I am addicted. There is really no other way to put it. :thumbup: Kat-((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) to you and hope things are going well with you and dh. Gotta get back to work real quick....bbl

Lets do CTCD today ladies....I am, who's with me?

Good morning violets~ Terri-congrats on the little unfill. I think you will be much happier now that you can make better food choices...I am. Michelle-congrats on your day yesterday of making good choices. I did the same. Here's to day 2 of sobriety.... Have a great day everyone. I will be bored at work today so I will pop in I am sure...

I hear ya sista!1 Haydee-different zip codes....that was very funny! lol Sorry I won't be able to come. Its all part of having a 4 year old (with a routine) and nobody to babysit..

Laura-once you got to "window over the bathtub" I knew it was only going to go downhill.... sorry your trip was a bummer :tongue2:

Good morning everyone...not much time to type this morning so I will make it short & sweet. Terri & Haydee-I am not going to be able to make our date this week. Weekdays are really tough for me (for now anyway) plus dh is working nights on top of that. Makes me sad :tongue2: Have a great day violets!!

Jane-woohooo you go girl! Before you know it you will not even have time for us violets anymore! Judy-you and your dd are going to have so much fun on the cruise. I know how excited you must be! Love the pic too. She looks cute in her uniform Suzie-she is a cutie pie Pammie-playing in the water with a rottie in your undies...life doesn't get any better, right?! Have a great evening everyone.

Michelle-I hear ya sister! My deal is that it was really a hard pill for me to swallow to realize that after 18 years with my job, I was not contibuting one red cent to the household and on top of that, I was paying a daycare and missing out on macys life. I had gotten as far as I was going to get with a sorry company that does not appreciate their employees. So I am using this opportunity to spend the summer with macy, regroup everything, and maybe even start over in the workforce. I am SO done with that job and am looking forward to the unknown. Everything about me has changed and my job I am qutting now is the last peice of the "morbidly obese" Tracy. Kind of scarey but WAY exciting! You are a positive kind of person, so just flip it around and tell yourself that you are ready to met a new challenge (work or whatever) head on!! Pammie-sorry you missed the tennis match :incazzato:

I like to remember back a year ago and remember what sizes I used to wear too...unbelievable isn't it? All of us have done such a fantastic job! :thumbup: Pam-sorry about the fire but hopefully it was contained before any homes were damaged, was it? Jane-we had fun. We weren't there long because we could just tell it was a lost cause. You know how sometimes you can either hear the winning or not...well, we did not hear anything so we just stayed for a little while, had some lunch and came home. We had fun though. I lost track on my work day countdown...I am not really good at it like Judy is. Lets see...I will do workdays, that will be more fun. 19

Pammie-are you awake yet? I was so sad that Big Brown did not win the triple crown. I was hoping Laura would get to see a little history! Have a great evening violets!
