[kity 2]

Hey all...too tired to type.

Tracy...I really laughed out loud on the boob one...too funny!

TracyK...On the same note, I want a "great rack"!!! Always have been a card carrying member of the itty bitty titty committee, and I really never would do it, I can dream of "girls" that POINT NORTH.

Terry...Magnolias????!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS MY FAVORITE BESTEST MOVIE!!! I had some good cries last week, should've watched that too.

Kat...You never cease to amaze me. I think your a remarkable woman; your in my thoughts and prayers.

Judy...You simply "rock". I was thinking about you today. This going back to school time of year. Ever miss teaching? The kids? I am pooped but I do love it. Plus we get football and cooler temps so I like this time of year.

Jen, Haydee and everyone else...sweet dreams!

Hey guys, I'll post more tomorrow at work..

Concert was awesome! DH decided to be the drinker, so I had 8 bottles of Water, so someone could drive us back to the hotel.

Well, I ask my DH not to get 'drunk' ever again, because everytime he drinks.. it's not like a physical abusive, but he becomes.. the BIGGEST ASSHOLE I ever knew. He does it like once every other year, just to remind me I guess. I don't get it.. I'm a happy drunk. So anyway, it's been about 2 years, so he said 'can I get drunk drunk?' and I said 'sure, but don't be mean!' he said "i have no reason to be mean" and i said.. you never did before.. but whatever. So he does, he gets TRASHED and turns into major asshole.

He kept being dirty, and I'm sober and tired, so I just kept sayin 'lets just go to sleep', then he'd go 'why don't you love me? YOU HATE ME!' then he'd start yelling and getting crazy.. oh man. And we couldn't smoke in the hotel room.. feeeeeh. I spent 5 hours crying and going downstairs for cigarettes, and trying to control him, having stupid fights, and me trying to just not speak so he would go to sleep and not keep sayin stupid stuff.. but he never shut up.

So this is the short version of it, but I had a MISERABLE time after the concert. And now I know, even though there's nothing to fight about, if he's trashed, it's a NIGHTMARE. He is NEVER allowed to get drunk again. That's that!!!

Of course this morning he's all happy and lovey and nothing happened. But I've said some things throughout the day about how horrible he was and how he's not allowed to get drunk again.. ever. On drive home, there was a major wreck on the interstate, so we used the GPS system to route a new way (we didn't move for 30 minutes, so everyone on the interstate was reversing.. was kind of scary).. we ended up going right by my band doctor's office. We almost stopped to ask for my fill now while I'm in town.. but since they were weird about me coming 3 days early last time, decided to keep going. Our bowling league started tonight, we just got back a few minutes ago.. I'm pooped from last night and all the driving today.. scale says 287lb today

4lb since Aug 6 I think? Not worth jumping up and down about, but I will take it until I get to my sweet spot.

....I am thinking when I go next week to get my Drivers License renewed, I may go braless---let the weight of them pull all the wrinkles out of my face for the close up picture!!! Then again, I'd hate to embarass myself by tripping on one and falling!

Tie them in a knot and you won't trip but will still have the weight to pull the wrinkles out.

[Ms Jen 1]

[quote name=TracyK - I'll take a brow lift and an eye job! Seriously... I am gonna do that next summer. Ya'll wait and see! Hey, maybe we can all get our surgeries done at the same hospital! We've been wanting a get-together! [/quote]

There isn't a hospital in the world that could handle the all the 'Violet's charming wit'.

[TracyK 3]

I think it would be a riot to have all of us in the same hospital wing. The nurses would ask for huge raises or quit...LOL

I hope that everyone has a great day!! (206.5 this morning)

[TracyK 3]

I wish i could post at work but the IT ogres are watching me....jerks!

[Teachlady 3]

Good Morning, Violets!!

Here's my last post before we head to the airport. Hope everyone has a great week. I'll be thinking about you all.. course the Bracelet brings each of you closer to me.. Thank you, Terry!!

Pam.. I DO miss the kids, but not the routine, the drive and the administration if ya get what I mean.

Terry.. this is our 3rd cruise.. our 4th will be in November. We just LOVE cruising and never in my life did I think I'd ever be able to do it and here we are!!

TracyK.. all of us demure Violets in the same hospital wing??? I can see us all now.. typing away on our laptops comparing notes when we are just rooms apart.. lol VIOLETS rule!!!

Well, I've got to pry my fingers from the keyboard and finish the last of the packing and snuggle up with our Yorkies before we leave.

I'll try and connect on board ship, but it's always slow and expensive.. but we'll see!!!

TTFN... catch you all on the 10th!!

And remember.... Patience, Trust and WWJD???!!!

(((Laura))) Oh, man....do I sympathize with you!! My EX-husband was just like that....except on a much regular basis!!! He never would admit what a factor his drinking had on the demise of our marriage...only said that if I didn't behave the way I did, he wouldn't HAVE to drink!! LOL My poor kids have really been catching the brunt of his drinking the last year or so and I am now 'talking to my lawyers'. This is gonna stop one way or the other. Such a shame that he is such a nice guy during the day....and such an asshole at night. Anyway, I feel for ya, honey. You are smart to define your boundaries now. Be strong. I am sorry your trip turned into such a nightmare. Yuck.

I picked up this card at my doctor's office yesterday. I found it interesting to note how very slight the difference is between the different stoma sizes. No wonder the sweet spot is so elusive!!

Morning Violets~

I am in the Yellow zone:faint:. I am having my fill tomorrow at the hospital. A bit nervous because the doctor was "concerned". Oh well, I'll let you know. I need to get into the green zone.

Congrats on you shrinking violets!

Have a great day! Judy, I know your gone, but have a great time!!! Christy, good to see you! Sara...where are you?

xoxox

[TracyinKS 7]

GOOD MORNING!

Laura: Totally know what you mean about jeckyl and hyde syndrome!!!!!!!! Glad that the scale dropped for you though!

Judy: If your still around............ HAVE A GREAT TRIP!

Christy: Glad to see you post!!!!!!!!!

Denise: How was last night, any dd news?

Terry: How is the unfill working for you?

TracyK: WELL ............. are we getting nipped and tucked??????

Pam: How is your eating going???? When is your next fill? Is your closet full yet?

My scale dropped this morning! I really hope this restriction stays put, because I'm not hungry hardly at all.......... but I CAN eat.

Also... kind of an NSV........ weird but ... OK so the last couple times I lost a bunch of weight 70-80lbs my belly gets this weird dent in it.... imagine looking down at your belly and seeing a lopsided bulge, almost like you lost half the fat out of the front..... so this morning I noticed the same damn dent appearing........ so it IS an NSV because it means that I am losing belly fat... I had remembered when I no longer noticed the dent (on the way UP the scale) also historically 224 is where I plateau......... one of those body "memory" points I guess.... so getting past it into the teens will be a BIG Scale Victory.

I am wearing a fitted stretch size 16w blouse and stretch 14/16 pants today........ Yeah me!

Good Thursday morning, Violets,

Today's my traffic court day @ 1pm. Have butterflies in my tummy (what's the cal/pro/carb breakdown on butterflies??). Was tossing & turning all night, thinking what/how I was going to say, whether I should just pay the stupid thing & be done w/it, etc... but I really feel it is my civic duty to point out the ill-use of our tax dollars & police man-power to have had him lying in wait at the foot of a small neighborhood hill when right around the corner are 2 of the deadliest intersections in the county, where if a police car was seen along that stretch of road, it might slow the crazy drivers down & actually save a life! It makes me so mad when I get thinking about it! I have burned into my memory the sight of a motorcycle v. car crash that I came upon before the emergency vehicles arrived (other motorists had already stopped to help)... w/the cyclist laying 30' from his bike (which I couldn't even recognize as it was just a twisted hunk of metal) in a pool of blood, not moving... didn't know at the time he was already dead... I was so shaken I started sobbing & had to pull over to calm down before I could continue driving the little way to the house... I kept praying over & over & over for him... I wouldn't drive that route for a month because the blood stains were still on the pavement & to make the turn you had to drive over it & it upset me too much... (& this is just 1 example of horrific accidents on this stretch of road). THIS is why I get so upset about it...

Sorry to go on like that... what a downer... I'm just all jumbled up inside... wish me luck!

Make it a great day & everyone drive SAFELY!

TracyKS - is that why that strange dent is there? I had that shortly after surgery and is just starting to go away

Michelle - honelstly honey, they don't care in traffic court. Plea not guilty they will slap you on the hand, give you a fine and move on. they just want your money. (that is how it works here)

CALL YOUR LOCAL LEGISLATOR!!!! Find out what you need to do to get something done about that spot and the right way to fight that fight, but traffic court is not it. I promise you that. I use to be there on a monthly basis.

anyway, not weighing myself until tuesday, i only ate a small plate (child size) but dad came to work last night and cooked me and my step mom steak, mashed potatoes and summer squash. YUMMY

Kat I'm cracking up.. let them go to pull out the wrinkles...

[TracyinKS 7]

Good luck Michelle

Jennifur: YOU HAVE IT TOO??? weird

Good morning everyone!! Just a quick check in to let ya'll know I'm alive and not buried under paint chips....

I logged my weight today. 2 pounds down from Aug. 11th. I'm in the slllloooowwww lane. I'm going to New York in the middle of November and I wanted to be at least -60 lbs. I don't think that's gonna happen.

Been doing real bad with my Breakfast these past few days. I am not eating or drinking anything until like 1 pm. I'm sure that's real bad... I'm having to scarf down tuna packets just to make sure I get my Protein in.

Gotta go, I've got a meeting at nine. Love you all!! No time for personals but I promise I'll get one tonight and catch up with all of ya'll...
