Better today than yesterday...thanks for asking Jane!!

I am told I snore...I don't know! lol

***smoker alert for Kat*** For the time being I am a smoker so I don't know if you would want to room with me!! It is SO great to see everyone excited about going. I am definitely going to Graceland again. When I went beofre I did not bring in my camera because I did not think it was allowed. This time I am definitely bringing it in! I am like Laura-I am not going to say I am NOT going to gamble some, I am but I am only bringing limited funds for that part. The main part for me is being able to spend time with all of you and getting to know the violets better. Pam & Judy...how about a threesome? Really give Judy something to talk about! LOL You all crack me UP!:smile:

Pamela-Sounds like a great time you had! I would love to go to a film festival like that. See anyone "famous"? Denise-I just love the hairdos! You both look fabulous! Judy-have a great time in FL. Check in on us! Hi Terri-I see you down there! Kat-glad you made it home safely. What a trip about the friend you graduated with, small world, right? Good morning Violets-just sitting here having my coffee. Trying to figure out what the day holds in store for me. I have to go do the usual grocery shopping. UGH. I hope everyone has a great day!

Don't forget the Graceland is only about 20 minutes away. DH and I went on the tour on honeymoon and it really was something else. I hope there is enough interest in some of us cause i woould love to go again!

Judy-14 people!! I know how happy you must be! What a great turn out of bandsters That is great!

Michelle-is there a way you are posting the same message on both threads or are you just typng it twice? Dumb question I know but inquiry minds wanna know! lol

I like the 2nd one, hair & clothes, but they are all so good! You did a fantastic job!! Hard decision

This is just my opinion, OK? I have been thinking about this for some time and I think that for a first get together, sharing a house is a bad idea. In a perfect world I would like to think that we are all really close and on this website, we are. But the basic fact is we do not really know each other well enough to be in a house together in the "middle of nowhere". Some of you may refer to it as BFE LOL I think that after we get to know each other in person, the next trip (if there is one) could be in a house together if we all decide it is a good idea. I think for our first in person gathering, we should all be able to have the safety of our own private rooms to reetreat to. What do you all think?

Here is my thing... #1 I am PMSing big time..grrrrrr #2 dh and I had a spat this morning and we never even say a cross word to each other so that should tell you something. #3 I will go I just want a decision to be made already. This back and forth stuff sucks. #4 Michelle-If I took your post the wrong way, I apologize. (((((((breathing)))))))))) as per Judy

So by this post is it safe to assume that Jane is the one who did not vote?

Thanks Jane-my main goal is to just get to 17something first. Getting there first or last doesn't make a hill of beans to me honestly. The only competition I have is with myself...I am my own worst competition too :wink:

Good morning V's- Judy-wooohooo on the bathing suit AND the t-shirt. Isn't it great to fit into clothes that have just been in the closet gathering dust? Kat-my dad had some trouble talking after his surgery a while back and the next day he was talking just fine. Have a safe trip home! Laura-congrats on secondlife! That is so cool. Keep us posted about what happens. Terri-hope you get to go shopping today! Have a great time :wink: Michelle-and the decision is.....(drumroll) Janie-Hope the babysitting goes smoothly. I know it will probably be a little tough but kids with autism are such special people. So full of love! Pamela-isn't today the film festival thing you are going to? Have a great time! Well I had said I wasn't going to change my ticker until I lose another pound and get to 179 but it may take longer than I thought. So I may as well go ahead and change it. I am going to bring dd to the park today and run around with her. It is supposed to be around 66 today, a little cool but at least there is no rain! Everyone have a great day!

Someone please define "surprise" destination. I am the kind of gal that likes to know what the options REALLY are before I vote on anything...maybe its just me.

Good morning everyone....TGIF!! ((((hugs)))) TracyKS Pam-hope you have a better day today! You've GOT to...it is Friday after all!! Judy-post pics in the bathing suit (just warn Laura first so she won't have any dreams again) :eek: Congrats to all the violets doing so well! So amny are losing again I can't remember all the names! Terri-Do you think you will have to get an unfill or do you think maybe it is just stress? Suzie-good luck at the mexican food place...I love it too! Well I better get off of here and get dd ready for the day! Have a great one

Michelle-are people still giving you their votes on what they wanna do? Ugh...I loathe indecisiveness (sp?)

Hi Haydee :wave: Kat-glad you all made it there safe & sound! I will keep you & your family in my prayers. Pamela-I could see where you might want to start smoking again to assist in weight loss BUT it would so not be worth it. I have the task of trying to quit & not gain. Neverending battle, so do not do it. If you do, I will come to cali and kick your as@ until it really IS violet!! :girl_hug: Laura-you are doing great by eating a little junk then getting rid of the rest of it:clap2::clap2: Michelle-I can tell you are really excited about the WDW trip. Oh, I wanna go. I have never been there. I am jealous... Have a great rest of the day violets!!!

I am not supposed to be on here....but I wanted to say hi real quick :girl_hug:

These pics were taken when I got a free shirt at an Astros game at the beginning of July...of course I never thought I would be ble to wear it, but look how it fits now. It just amazes even ME!! I love my band

Thanks ladies!!! I will go post them on the b & a thread I am wearing one of my new shirts today and the sleeves are a bit shorter than I normally wear. I hope I am not self conscious about it all day. If I am i will just hang it up and never wear it again. I hate my wings.... Everyone have a great day!!

No Tracy, thats ME! lol

These are the t-shirt pics I said I was going to post last weekend. I am so happy I can wear it now!!

Just meeting the violets would make any trip worthwhile, flying or not flying, so that is my vote.

YIKES...maybe we should just have a "violets rants & raves" section, huh? Makes me think maybe somewhere with private rooms would be a good idea!! Anywhoooo.... TracyKS-thanks and I hope you get here very soon too! At the rate you are going you will be here in no time! Terri-Webster would be great! I will let you know when I am child free again! I am looking forward to it. It wll probably be not this weekend but the next. Haydee-I have not eaten bread or pasta (other than occasional chicken noodle soup) or rice since I got the band. I just never wanted to try it because I did not want my head to tell me it was OK to eat it. Weird huh? Judy-congrats on the official size 16!! I went and bought some new shirts today and some are from the misses dept and some are from the womens. It is kinda fun to be able to wander back & forth from the 2 departments & shop There was this one shirt I regret not getting. It has a square neck and kinda low cut so I would have to buy a strapless bra (is it ok to say that? lol). The shirt is gathered under the boobies, then flares out. My stomach has always stuck out further than my boobies and being able to wear a shirt like that is really exciting. May sound weird to you all but it made me feel more feminine I think I am going to go back and get it this weekend. Pamela-so sorry to hear about Maria. I will keep her family in my prayers. I had a baked potato for supper and it went down OK. I am sure the real restriction will be in a few days when TOM shows up. Everyone have a great night! By the way...loved the tip of the day today!
