Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here

[TerriDoodle 6]

Heck no, Mae! You don't have to be an April '07 Bandster to be a Violet! We're glad you came out of the closet (so to speak)! Hi! :thumbup:

Tracy - Wanna meet me for a fill at Dr. Spivak's?? I think I better get one with the holidays coming up.

[Suziecat 379]

Welcome Mae. Awesome job on the weight loss.

We had the most beautiful weekend here. Other than the thick fog it was a great weekend. I spent several hours at the park yesterday with my grand-niece. She had a blast and enjoyed all of the other kids. She getting real good at waiting for her turn.

I'm still doing a lot of head thinking and am actually making some headway. A few slip ups but for the most part I'm hanging in there. My next step will to be to get all of the halloween candy out of the house. Once that is gone things will calm down.

Sure will be nice to have all of these commercials gone.................

TracyKS, It's gonna be a long week but you'll make it. Keep your chin up. You are in my prayers. And I also agree that you are a wonderful Mom. You really aren't going thru much more than any other parent. It just is harder when it is happening to you. Hang tight and Robby will be thru this before long.

Jane, Hugs to you.

Haydee, even made out to look scary , you are stlll stunning.

Trying to decide if I want to go cut the grass this afternoon. The weather is supposed to turn cold this week and I need to get it done.

Hope all is well with everyone. Hang in there and make good choices.

We just got back from lunch and I am SO READY for a nap...

Cedar-planked salmon & glass of milk

[Suziecat 379]

I can't sing it with you, I'm already home.

Pam, wait till you get home and see the scenes of Bianca on AMC.

Good Morning, Vi's~~

Yes, I know it's 3:31pm... but I've been glued to my computer working like a fiend since 7:30 this morning -- hey! that's 8 hours! a full work day!! -- and I've only just FINISHED UP THE BOOK! Yay me! Hurray!!

Of course, now I have 2 more chapters of another book to work on... but that's good when you're a freelancer!!

I can't wait for tomorrow -- I'm w/you, Suzie -- NO MORE POLITICAL COMMERCIALS!

((Janie)) I am so sorry for all you & your family are going through... I am with you in purple spirit!!!

TracyKS... You ARE a good Mom... it would've been so easy to relent, and a lot of mom's would have... but NOT YOU!! + good thoughts on the boobies!!! Yikes!

TracyK... Was the zoo ok w/the hurricane?

Kat... Travel safely!!

Pam... AMEN! oh wait, I'm already home... but maybe I can make it specific... to get out of the OFFICE & into more RELAXING areas of my house!

Judy... I enjoyed your description of working in the yard w/the leaves... I could smell that scent of burning leaves on a crisp day... the scent of Fall! (I think that's a Yankee Candle that I have, lol!)

Laura... Just do your best w/the weight issue... now more than ever you need to make good (= nutritious) choices... it'll be ok... us fat gals have been giving birth for thousands of years... :thumbup:

Terri... Again, thanks for that link... too funny... too me!

Haydee... Thanks for posting the pics... I love it when I can SEE my Vi's!!! You are gorgeous, dahlink!

Hi Jen! Hope all is ok w/you!!

[mdrai 3]

Oh 1 more thing... I noticed it after I posted...

I did *NOT* weigh on 11/1... and probably won't 'til the 15th or so...

I did great w/that "no weighing" theory until about 10/15 or so... & then it's been Katie Bar the Door and I've been eating EVERYTHING IN SIGHT -- and LOTS OF IT!! I won't even tell you what I've already eaten today -- the day that was supposed to be my "Back on the Wagon" day... ugh. I am sooooo disgusted & disappointed w/myself.

SOOOOO... am going to try, try, try to get back on that ol' rickety wagon TOMORROW and actually eat properly & exercise and be to-the-letter good 'til the 15th and then take a peek @ the scale...

Gosh I hope this works.

Ugh.

[TracyinKS 7]

I am starving............ I bought some Egg Drop Soup for lunch and then burped it back up and I just said......... OK WHAT IS THE USE???

I guess I'm a wee bit more worked up than I thought.

REALLY though, I'm ok!

I have managed to NOT eat crap so far today! I have not drank any Water yet though...........

I bought more cream cheese, more cheese, more milk, more cottage cheese, and more meat.... for my sticking to a Lower Carb plan... (Milk is not exactly low, but I LOVE it and it does have protein) I managed to NOT buy any Milk Nog, and I've not allowed ANY ice cream to pass my lips..

Thanks everyone for the continued support on Robby and now the boobs..... and Pammy.....

I WANT TO GO HOME~~~~

and now I'm HEARING you sing the Violets Song in my head! LOL

[TerriDoodle 6]

Oh, Tracy....I meant to say to please try to not worry about the mammogram. They call you back in for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that looks the eensiest bit suspicious. The chances are overwhelmingly in your favor. I went thru the same scare about 3 years ago and it was nothing. But, considering my mom had breast cancer, it was a very scary few days. Just keep breathing!! The deeper the better!! (((Hugs)))

[TerriDoodle 6]

Hey... who voted early and who has to get out there tomorrow?

Gosh, here in Houston I know it will be utter madness...not only at the polling places but just traffic in general. I'm glad I voted early! Soooooo glad!!

[kity 2]

I voted a few weeks ago! I agree, the lines will be terrible tomorrow. I usually wait and vote on election day, but not this year...it will be a zoo! Gonna go get my "do" done after school instead!

[Daisalana 33]

Our zones are small luckily, the county line road we we live on, half of us vote at the fire house on our road, other half at a church on the same road.. so shouldn't be that many people.

Russ & I are voting tomorrow. YAY!

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxhYampIl7A]YouTube - BTW I'm Voting For Mccain / Palin[/ame]

[kity 2]

Judy,

I loved the emails you sent me...OMG, too funny! Thanks, I've already sent them both off to friends and family!

[Teachlady 3]

I'll be one of those weary people standing in line. The furnace man comes at 8 tomorrow morning to clean out the furnace for the heating season, then we'll head to the polls as soon as he is done. Then we head to headquarters to make calls from noon to 4 p.m., then to Bell choir at 5, New Day Singers at 7 and the election party after 9.

Kathy is home from the hospital and is now on her way to Port Huron to meet with the nutritionist tomorrow and get weighed in to see how she did her first month. She got home Saturday and seems to be doing well, though she is mighty tired. She has to go back to the hospital every couple of days to have her blood checked.

I'm waiting to get my car from Joe so I can go to Community Chorus rehearsal at 7.

BBL....
