Hi Violets! Kat I think we are going to have to send out the flying monkies to find Terri..... Ugh, what a long day at work. I guess I am just anxious for the week to end so the REAL work can start. Michelle-congrats on the jeans!!! woohooo!! Still no word @ work about our bonuses. I am starting to get antsy. Have a great evening everyone!

When I count sheep they always turn into veal parmesian, so that doesn't work for me! Denise-what a beautiful dd you have. She is glowing! Judy-since the bobster doesn't post, you shoud have his ticker on here too! How much has he lost? TOM is killing me this month. I bit a few peoples heads off yesterday...I am cramping, severly I might add, bloated and craving chocolate. Poor me! I love Christmas but this year I am just ready to have the whole thing over with. Yesterday I talked to one of my best (skinny) friends on the phone. We have not seen each other since April. The first thing she says is "what size are you, you aren't smaller than me are you?" I told her no, not yet and I would tell her what size I wear when I am giving her my old clothes...lol. Like that will really happen! My goal weight is probably still 30 pounds higher than what she weighs. I will get to see her next month at her daughters wedding. I can't wait! Today is dd party at school so I get to remove those cookies out of my house today I ave them in a tin and they have not been a problem since I put them in there. The problem was the 'fresh out of the oven' cookies. My boss is not going to be there today and I have no books to read and that equals a LONG day, especially since I can not get on LBT Everyone have a super duper day! Remember today is CTCD!!!

hmmmm, not even a full page of posts to read when I got home. Everyone must be busy today! Busy typical Monday at work. Laura-did you like the ending of Survivor? Hope you had fun on your trip! Everyone have a peaceful, relaxing evening!

Good morning Violets- I woke up this morning not feeling up to par. I just swallowed 2 Immodium AD (I think you all get the picture now). I am so scared to drive to work and have to turn around with one of those "gotta GO right now" cramps! I hope the Immodium works quickly! Pamela-What a nice thing to do for your friend that is down on her luck. You are truly a special person! Judy-you and dh please be careful! I told dh to pack the scales. Now I will not be able to weigh until the 27th. I was still at 185 when he packed them up so we'll see what happens. Considering TOM is here, I will not really miss anything by not weighing. I usually stay the same weight during THAT week anyway. OMG...I really hope we get our bonuses this year in the form of cash instead of the jelly-of-the-month club like Clark Griswold With the move and Christmas, we could really use the $$$. oh well, let me get up and get ready for work and dd ready for school. Have a great day everyone! Excuse any spelling errors....

Michelle-it does that to me too when I edit, so I just leave it alone

Judy-love the pics! (and those sexy socks are just too cute!) PS...you do not even have to lose a total of 100 pounds...right?

Tracy-poor thing! I can not even imagine having to deal with a group!! One is enough for me! I feel for you! Pamela-The internet is supposed to be hooked up the same day we move....thank GOD! SnowViolets-more power to you for having to deal with the snow, much less drive in it! I will send WARM thoughts your way Judy-great NSV! That is so awesome! In my rambling of sh*t I have to do...I forgot these things #1 Shop for Christmas #2. Wrap the stuff. #3. Bake cookies for dd school party and for my family party. Well, on the up side of it, at least I do not have to drive on icy roads, so life isn't THAT bad! I went to wal-mart yesterday:eek:. That place was a ZOO. Thank goodness for shopping carts. I was able to corral Macy in that instead of chasing her around the store. TOM showed up today...I am having to beat myself off of the cookies I am baking.:nervous Hope everyone is having a great one. Judy-hope you made it to and from church OK!

Good morning everyone! Pamela-glad you & suzanne are having a good weekend. I wanna go see that movie too! Kat-poor Kinsey. Some kids are just so mean. Sounded to me like she gets it from her mom! I am glad that you told santa what happened. He made it all better!! Jenn-hope you have a better day today Judy-you sure did get a bargain on the air fare!! Don'tcha just love a good bargain! Denise-what a nice picture. You look SO happy! Hope you had great time. This next week and a half is gonna be busy busy busy! Between work, the holiday, moving, parties....whew! Makes me tired just thinking about it. I'll break it down. The 21st we get dsd and dss to open gifts and the the next day (the 22nd) we go to moms to have the party there with my family, then the 23rd we pack more...the 24th we get the keys to start the moving process AND mom & stepdad are coming here so they can give dd her "special gift" (a 5' X 5' dora tent) and to also pour the magic reindeer food on the lawn for them to eat while santa is here. The 25th, open gifts from Santa, then frantically take down the tree and decorations to pack move. Then the 26th, the actual big move, the cable people coming over, cleaning the old house, setting up the new one...then here is the funny part...get ready to go to WORK the next day! LOL Oh...and try to convince Macy the we should put her new Dora tent in the new house instead of the one we are in now (that outta be a joke)....cause when her maw maw & pop are here, she gets her way...I hear things like aww Tracy, it can not hurt a thing to let her do this or that, you know, typical grandparent talk!! Wow am I a chatty one this morning or what? Now that I have bored you all enough...I will get off here and have some more liquid caffeine! ((((((((hugs))))))))

Posted it twice.....sorry!!!!!!! :huggie:

Good morning Violets. Laura-such a pretty picture!! Love the flowers....and just look how much different you look now versus the wedding pic!! Amazing! Judy-glad to hear the fudge torture is over! Thank you all so much for the cards! Makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside knowing I have made such special friends here! Terri-what a beautiful necklace that you made for Jenn. Such talent! Pamela-I hope you enjoy your weekend with Suzanne! I know you will Hope she is feeling all better. Panda-glad to see you peek in and check in with us! I wonder what is up with Lunasa....hmmmm. It is supposed to rain the first half of today. I am trying to decide if I am going to fight the crowd at the mall to brig Macy to see Santa. She has already seen a couple here & there cause Lord knows they are everywhere!! Everyone have a great weekend! Be careful on the slippery roads!

Jenn-one more thing...If the above post doesn't work, I can always come get you and drag your ass to Texas and whip you into shape!! Between me, Terri and Haydee, I am sure it would work!!! :boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing:

Hey...one more thing...since being banded I burp & belch like I have never done before! It is kinda gross actually but I was just wondering if any of you have the same thing going on.... DH is like UGH....but in my case, I just can't help it!

Wow it was alot quieter than normal in here today! Normally I have to catch up on 3 pages of posts! Have FUN tomorrow pamela...happy early Friday! I sure miss Terri & Jennifur! I hope they are OK. Starting about midweek coming up I am going to be a busy individual. The holidays are normally hustle & bustle anyway but with moving on the list now...OMG!! Oh...today my dh called me from walmart and told me that an eleven dollar purchase was declined on our debit card!! I flipped! I go onto the bank website and saw all of that -RED and almost passed out. :faint:The deposit that we made on Monday was nowhere to be found. The check we wrote for my husbands down payment for his truck got returned....there were 6 other transactions that the bank was charging us 32.50 each for NSF....I almost cried! DH went straight to the bank and to make a long scarey short, the teller that took our deposit on Monday left out a zero in our account number. So, they put all our money in, erased the NSF fees and even called Landmark Chevrolet to let them know that the check was sent back to them and it was the banks error and to just re-run the check.....alls well that ends well, thank GOD!!! OK, I need to get off my princess' rear end and help pack pics and stuff! Take care everyone!!

Terri-great to see you still have your sense of humor....love it!! :eek: Question for all violets.... We ahave all had NSVs and SV right? here is the question. What was your favorite NSV you have had? My answer...my fav NSV is a tie. First was putting on my first ever pair of 12/14 pants. The other was how proud my ob/gyn was of me. I could hear him down the hall from my room telling people about it What are your favs? The needle stick today did not hurt at all thank goodness. Kat-Our house is one whole street over from where we are now LOL At least it won't be any trouble driving back & forth during the moving process. I hope everyone has a great evening!

Good morning Violets- Slow getting motivated this morning. DD had her pics taken at school and they came in yesterday and of course I could not choose so I bought them all. I will post one of them later. They brought costumes to the school and dressed them up for the pics. Cute cute cute! I was gonna say something else but dh interrupted me posting and now I can not remember what I was gonna say MEN! Have a great day everyone!

Hello violets- Michelle-congrats on the SV!!! Laura-yay you for the 14 shirts! That is awesome! Kat-the taco talk made me crave tacos...do you deliver Terri-sorry to hear that you are having a crappy time. We are here for you sista! Pamela-where are you? Jenn????? why so quiet? Tracy, Suzie, Judy and all my other midwest & northern violets...stay cozy in that frighteningly cold weather! Well, the moving date is set for the day after Christmas! So, that mean the night of christmas, the tree has to come down. I hate that part cause I love to sit and stare at the tree. A childhood habit I never outgrew and never plan on outgrowing! So much to pack, but at least I will have the time since I am off for the holidays. I am looking for ward to it though! I go to the dr tomorrow to get blood drawn to check to see if my cholesterol pills he gave m are doing what they should...wish me luck cause i hate needles with a passion. Well, time to wind things down and get ready to watch the biggest loser. Have great night everyone!

Good morning Violet sistas! Judy-I got your card & pic yesterday! Loved it! Thank you so much! I think we do have all the warm weather down here. It is going to be 81 today. Sure makes it hard to get into the holiday spirit. But, it is supposed to get cooler by this weekend. I have not tried any jeans yet that are completely without elastic, so I have no idea what "regular" size jeans I wear. The ones I wear have elastic just in the back and i wear a 12-14. I am guessing a 16 without elastic. I need to try some on but I am scared I am going to lose my good feeling of being 12-14....lol I seriously need to get my wedding ring resized because it is about to fall off. It is a 7 now and I have never worn smaller than a 7 ring until now! Kinda anxious to see what size it will be! We found a house to lease until we buy one. We are moving right after Christmas. We have moved so much I feel like we are in the witness protection program But, we are seasoned movers. It is just the thought of doing it again that sux but it will be worth it. We live in a new trailer right now and I am just so excited that we will be back in a house. I need to get ready for work...take care everyone.

Kat-alls well that ends well. Glad you are all OK!! Happy monday everyone! Have a great day!

Tracy-sounds like it was a hoot! What fun! Janie-congrats on the 239...way cool! Go girl! Michelle-I did get to read a little bit. Laura-I always thought is was strange how people act when hey are 3 sheets to the wind. As far as me, it depends on what I drink as to how I act....therefore, no tequila shots for me. In a mixed drink, fine, shots, no way!! That will give me skeletons in my closet, and the closet is at maximum capacity. LOL Pamela-yes..we want to see a pic of the new couch! We (the family) went driving around looking at christmas lights last night. Some people must spend a pretty penny decorating their yards!! Have a great night everyone!!

OK, as soon as I submit my post, dss woke up too. Guess I just THOUGHT I was gonna read my book. Sounded good anyway

Good morning violets! Hopefully it is going to be a relatively quiet day today. My dsd and dss are going home today sometime and I just have the house to clean and the regular Sunday ritual of gtting ready for a new work week. I did OK concerning the cookies...I had 3 (big ones) then wanted to kick myself in the rear end but oh well, whats done is done. I did nt eat them all at once, it was just ne of those munch on them throughout the day things. I proved to myself why I do not even keep that stuff in the house on a regular basis. Kat-as soon as Rick is safely home let us know so we can stop worrying with you. Judy-I have heard that Vicks anywhere on the bod works. I hope it works well for you! Janie-I love anything decorated with shrinkwrap...it is so pretty! Well, I am gonna start reading some of my new book before the other 2 kids wake up. Since the tie change, my quiet mornings have disappeared. Macy just can not seem to adjust. Have a great day violets!

Terri-I too could not see the fat old lady you were referring to...and like laura said, lose 30 more from where? you look fantabulous! Pamela-sounds like you had a great time!! Jane-luckily dd is not sick...she is just an early bird. The bad part right now is that it is 5:20 PM and she has ot had a nap yet so she is being a little CRANKY!! She will pass smooth out in a couple of hours Well, I did my cards now I have to get stamps & mail them! Everyone have a great evening!
