Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here

[TracyK 3]

Good morning ladies-

I am cramping so bad :thumbup:. Still have not seen tom though. My cycle has been so screwy lately. Maybe the weight gain then the losing is throwing my body out of whack.

I can not wait to hear about the concert Pamela went to. I'll bet it was so much fun!

TracyinKS-how is the unfill so far?

Terry-did you make an appt to get a fill before the holidays?

Michelle-a closet alcoholic? :w00t:

Have a fantastic day everyone :smile2:

I will be moving around as little as possible. Maybe a heating pad will help.

[mdrai 3]

No closet required! :thumbup:

Nahhh... Only if a couple drinks a month qualifies! But @ 100 each, I figured it was better than the bag of Almond Joys in the freezer!! Hey -- they're 100-calorie packs! :smile2:

It's not a proud day for me!! I have never, ever been so depressed over an election in my adult life. You can mark my words and take note....we will ALL be worse off 4 years from now as we are today. I know it as sure as I know the sun will rise tomorrow.

I'm gonna 'check out' for awhile and let you all Celebrate ....... I just can't take it.

I feel the same way....as TracyinKS said, I was also moved to tears by Obama's acceptance speech - but not in a good way. I have never disliked a president as much as I dislike this man....I know it's silly, but I'm reading the "Left Behind" series and I see a scary resemblance to Obama and the anti-christ in this book....scary. I think the next 4 yrs will be worse than they have in a long time....I hope that I'm wrong.

[adorable 1]

Oh heck, in trying to catch up on posts I didn't realize you were all through talking about the election....DO NOT READ MY LAST POST!!! LOL

I went for a fil the other day and I was at 3.6, he filled me to 4.0. NEVER AGAIN!!! I was so tight I couldn't even hardly swallow my own saliva. 2 days later I was back in his office for an unfill (thankfully he doesn't charge for these), and he put me back to 3.6 and told me that he wants me there....lol that was horrible!!!!

TracyinKS, you'll be fine with your unfill...just put a picture of yourself heavier on your fridge and in your car! :thumbs_up:

Good morning, Violets..

It rained really hard last night so no leave burning today unless we want to smoke out the neighborhood. DD Kris will be here this morning and Ethan arrives at noon. Other than that, nothing is planned special for today. Guess I'll do some laundry and a little cleaning.

PamELA...can't wait to hear what you thought of the concert. What a lucky lady to be able to go. We never get anything like that around here. Maybe Englebert Humperdink at the Casino... big whoop.

The Bobster is on his way to church for the day so it's pretty quiet here. I didn't even get up til 9. Guess I'll go find something for Breakfast and then start laundry. I can hardly contain my excitement..

Everyone have a great day!! BBL...

[Haydee 2]

laundry - ugh, hate that word. my pile is still growing, we decided to go to my mom's for dinner so no chores for me! My weekend is shot to heck though because now I'll be stuck at home!

Pammy - how was the concert? Did Britney and Justin re-unite on stage?? I heard there was gonna be a special surprise!

TracyK - did you get my emailed pic? Too cute! Hope your tummy feels better. Try drinking chamomile tea, that always helps me.

Michelle - love Mike's hard lemonade! Anything fruity is my downfall... And since those drinks are usually sweet I never realize how much I've drunk until it's waaaayyy too late. Good thing I only drink a few times a year or I'd seriously have a problem, LOL

TracyKS - did you win the shoes? So since you're buying shoes I'm assuming Robby is doing wrestling?

Laura - I meant to ask how the baby name search is going? My cousin just had his first and there were three couples that are pregnant within my extended family and they were all fighting for the same name. They were all trying to beat each other to the delivery room. Like I said though, my cousin and his wife ended up being induced and so he got the name. Emma. It's a really popular name right now but it's also my deceased grandmother's name so everyone wanted it. Seriously there were huge fights about it!

Anyhoo, I'm off to grab my coffee... Be back later girlies...

I have just a minute to stop and say HI. I worked 6-9am and am on my way back to the other store to work at 10am. Just enough time to get me a bowl of oatmeal and go potty, maybe kiss the hubby on my way out.

I will be stopping by later to chat, but hubby and I are going out of town for the night. We should be back fairly early tomorrow.

Looking forward to hearing from Kat and from Pam.

[TracyK 3]

Haydee-no e-mail either :thumbs_up:

[Teachlady 3]

When will Kat be back??? Seems like she's been gone forevah!!

[Daisalana 33]

I had a dream about my V's last night! We were off on an adventure. I remember a dirty lake (with turtles & snakes--lots & visible) and I refused to get in, but I watched. Pam had this long gorgeous thick hair, that's really all that stuck out to me besides the turtles & snakes. I kept thinking.. I WANT HAIR LIKE THAT!!! LOL

Haydee- We kind of settle on names, just so we have something to call it. For a month now we've called it "Izzy-Carson". So I guess right now Isabelle & Carson are the front runners. It changes every month though, last month it was "Lily-Blake". I can't wait to find out the sex. I can't wait to feel it move!! Some people feel their baby move 3 weeks ago! I'm 16 weeks and 2 days.. and still don't feel nothin'.

My nose has been stuffy,itchy, and sneezy for a month now, it is so bad in the morning. I can't take benadryl at work, the few times I did it, I was sorry and ended up having to take naps.

Tracy maybe you are pregnant! har har har :thumbs_up:

Oh and last time I weighed myself (about 2 weeks ago) I was at 229lb.. gyno weighed me at 234lb Tuesday, with my big shoes on.. anyway, last night I weighed on my trusty scales and I was 229lb still. WHEW. That means I haven't gained in about 2 weeks.. THANK GOODNESS

Emma is my neice's name too! It is really popular! My neice's name is Emma Grace :thumbs_up:

Laura, if it helps you, I didn't feel Max move until I was over 20 weeks. ((at least not something that I KNEW was him...there were times I questioned...but the time I knew without a doubt it was him, I was like 22 weeks along)). Don't stress it. Baby is fine :frown: I know it sux...but trust me, when that little one does get going good.....it won't stop sometimes! LOL :cool2:

About the name thing...We wanted to name our baby Maxwell ("Max" for short) because it's different, without being weird different. That name for a boy was picked out when we first met! (Robert had loved the name and I liked it too) So for 6 years before I got pregnant we had that name picked out. Well, guess what. Now Max is becomming so popular (no thanks to Christina Agulara [sp??] and J-Lo)...it kinda defeats the purpose of us wanting that name...but we'd always referred to future kids as Lydia or Autumn and Max...so we kept it. He has a double middle name because we wanted to honor our fathers....so his name is Maxwell Allen-Lee. Lots of people don't like it, but we don't care!

Good luck, and whatever you end up choosing, it'll be perfect for your little one :w00t:

Hope you're doing well :tt2:

Why would people not like it? I like Maxwell. It's a nice strong name...

Yep, I have two workers with daughters named Emma. It's ubber popular...

I never liked my name growing up. I hated it actually. No one ever said it right and no one, not even family, spells it right. But now I have embraced it. It's a unique name and I like the way it sounds when people say it...

TracyK - for whatever reason it's not meant for you to see that plaque! Boo... Actually i'm just gonna post the pic here!

you're staying at your sister's right? HAVE FUN!

[kity 2]

WOOHOO~

Well, I am glad ya'll heard about the surprise...I had NO IDEA! The concert was great! She started at 9:50pm (WAY PAST BEDTIME) but once she came on...she rocked it! Some songs were a bit loud. Outside concerts can be hit or miss w/ sound. But she can really sing!!! The "show" was great! Brittney Spears (whom I don't really like at all...but it was great to see her and she looked faboo) came on and joined Madonna for Human Nature (she sang "express yourself...don't repress yourself" for the Madonna fans...LOVE THAT SONG) and then towards the end of the show, Justin Timberlake (MY BOYFRIEND...I HAVE POSTERS OF HIM IN MY CABINENT AT WORK...AND I LLLOOOOVVVVEEE HIM) came on to sing 4 Minutes!!! THAT WAS A HUGE HIGHLIGHT!

Then we rushed the crowds out...and got out quickly...took us only 1:40 min to get home which for those of you who do not know...is great time!

All and All...it really was a life long dream! I've been a huge Madonna fan since I was 16 (when I was a virgin walking around singing "Like a Virgin"). At one point, I was thinking..."I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL THE VIOLETS!"

Gonna go pop around, check emails, etc.

BBL

xoxoxoxo

PS...so glad I took the day off!

[TracyK 3]

Haydee-that is just too cute! I wish I had it for my kitchen! lol

Laura-BITE YOUR TONGUE! (even though I would secretly LOVE being pregnant again, but that is impossible...at least for dh it is) lol
