Ever feel like there is a HUGE WHITE ELEPHANT in the room and NOBODY is talking about it? I do:frown:

I like to talk about things that make me happy. Laughter, fun, and supporting each other as friends. Being there for each other no matter what. That is what is important. That is what makes us special. THAT is what makes us violets!

Hi All - Pammy sent out the flying monkeys and they found me.

I just had my feelings hurt (and NO, it wasn't the stupid election!!!...give me a little more credit than that please!) but I have to learn to swallow my stupid pride and just move on. Ever get like that? I do, and way too often.

So please forgive me for my little tantrum. I love you all.

*********

Sitting here drinking coffee in the freakin' middle of the night practically. Anyone else having trouble with this time change? I normally don't even notice it, but man I've been having trouble sleeping ever since then!

I've got the day off today and a very empty cupboard. I really should be creating a menu for the weekend and preparing my list. One problem with that is that implies that I will be cooking! Ugh, I hate to cook!! Sounds like a crock pot day, eh? Anyone want to make a suggestion of what to put in it???

I had yesterday off too...and a bare cupboard...and you would not believe the crap I ate all day! I surprised even myself. Carbs are so evil. Y'know when you don't have any groceries in the house, that's what you tend to eat...stuff out of the pantry (= carbs!) I grazed like a cow all day. Just proves once again that carbs are good for nuttin' except making me hungry in an hour.

Well, I guess I'll go refill my coffee cup and enjoy the dead quiet outside. Even Hero is sleeping!!

Good Morning Girls.

Sitting here watching the news and they are calling for snow tomorrow. Just slightly, a dusting. Yikes.

Terri, Glad to have you back. We missed you. I know what you mean about having your feelings hurt. It's happened to me and I just needed to give myself a kick in the butt and get over it. I tend to hold things in and they sit and fester. I just have to stop being a brat and realize people don't always see things my way. That's what makes us all special. Even you.

TracyKS, What did the doc have to say?????? Maybe a day with Jane and Suzie is all you need???????LOL?????? Sure you and Robby can't go with us?

Denise, Have a safe weekend and we will miss you.

Off to work for 6 hours. I'll be back around noon.

Hugs to you all.

Morning Ladies~

ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD!!:tongue2::tt2::lol:

We went to the street fair last night and I split a nacho apetizer and had 1/2 a large margie...that is impressive for me. I of course didn't mention that I did help kill a basket of chips and salsa...but those are a "freebie" right? haha!

I am soo glad it is Friday! I have a sore throat and I know it is just from getting run down. I've already made the big announcement..."I am not doing anything Sat. except homework". She will go to the commisarry (sp) (military grocery store), and get her hair cut. So I will have some serious homework time. She will be traveling an hour to the commissary! Anyhoo...this is good for me!

Everyone have a great Friday! I am just very happy and peaceful!

Morning girls...

I have the worst worst headache ever. Ugh. I should have taken today off but had too much to do...

Last night was wonderful. And so exciting to see all these famous people. We were not mingling with the A or B or even C crowd, LOL but they were within throwing distance. We didn't sit on the floor of the center but on the first row on side of the floor, which afforded us an incredible view of everyone and of the stage.

So many great acts in one show. I'll never be able to top it!

Oh, worst part of the night though...

We took tons of pics! Of us mostly cuz they didn't let cameras inside. Afterwards we were headed to a late dinner when my cousin decides she wants to hang halfway out the moon roof. Well she had the camera in her hand and for whatever reason the limo had to break hard and swerve and in a panic she let go of the camera as she held on for dear life... Nice...

We were so upset... so we drank tons of margies to soothe our pain, lol.

It was an incredible night and I felt like such a princess. I never would have wanted to go to something like this when I was bigger so I'm so thankful for the band and for your support on here that got me to where I am now. I felt so NORMAL and so pretty in my long gown. Didn't give a rat's ass about my bat wings showing!

Okay, i'm off to get my morning cup of joe so I can try to wake up from this fog I'm in.

Good Morning, Violets...

I got up at 7 to let the garage dog out.. (she sleeps on the floor by our bed at night now) and stopped to read the posts. Terry.. glad you're back. We missed you. But then when I went back to bed I had the weirdest dream about the Violets. I went to the dentist which is a long story in itself about a new dentist with cowboy boots and then I went to make another appointment and ended up at a chinese restaurant and there were Michelle, Pam, Kat and TracyK. I was so suprised to see them and we had a good visit, but then when we were leaving, it dawned on me.. (I'm a slow study), that here they were in Alpena and I didn't know they were going to be there. Michelle was heading back to Chicago and she had had her eyebrows done and cost her $2.50 They were long and curly..... eyebrows!!! Kat told me there had been posts about the meeting, but they were written cryptically. I started to walk home being really upset and then realized my car was back at the restaurant. Then I woke up. Weird, weird, weird!!!

I didn't get up again until 9:30. Ethan comes at noon for the rest of the day.

Everyone have a good one. Will check back later.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
