Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here

[Teachlady 3]

Good Morning, Violets..

Chilly here today. It's 35 and I have a new spring outfit to wear to church... arghhhhhh Oh well, I'll just grit my teeth and hope I stay warm cause I'm not giving up the outfit. Just got it yesterday in the mail form Silhouettes and it's so pretty. It's a linen skirt with a matching crochet jacket. I be stylin' today!

We're going out for lunch after church and then Ethan is coming over so I can watch him while the Bobster, DD, DS and DSIL can go golfing. I wanted to go to a musical program at the library, but I'll take Ethan any chance I can get.

I didn't weigh this morning cause I know I've made some bad choices this week. I'll just wait til we go to the docs on the 12th of May. I don't think I'll be getting another fill cause I have good restriction with this one. I just need to keep making wise choices my priority along with exercise.

I got a trikke a couple of years ago and have not been able to use it. I'm going to take it out this week and give it a whirl. Someone on the before and after thread has a picture of her riding hers and I messaged her for tips. She really loves hers so I hope to get the same joy out of mine now that I'm 63# lighter than the last time I tried it.

Anybody get one of those ab rockets??? I got one off ebay and should have it his week. DS is taking my ab lounger. It just takes up too much space in my small house. The ab rocket is much more compact.

Time to get dressed and fix my hair and make up for church. Everyone have a relaxing morning and a great day. Make wise choices (I am trying!!!!) and drink, drink, drink!!

Good morning Violets!

Not too much on the agenda today. Need to return some pants for dd and get her a smaller ones. Other than that....that is it.

Judy-I will try to send some of our warm weather in your direction, k?

Have a great day violets!!

Pam & Jane-ready for the finale? I am but I am sad to see it end.

Morning gals

well, here is a huge accomplishment, I worked last night and still weigh the same as yesterday and feel a little swollen. I will confess, I did go have a couple drinks with my freind from work, OMG what fun we had, but I was already swollen when I left work, so when I got home, I drank my warm lemon Water, which I had to pee forever in the middle of the night but seemed to do the trick. I feel puffy but look normal so I think I got it figured out.

I came home to 2 more work emails, this job is going to be fantastic but take lots of time. I'm just so happy

Any

Happy Bandiversary Denise & Tracy

Denise, so nice to hear from you, how are the girls and the house?

Pama- Oh... Poor baby, his ears sound so sore

Judy - it is chilly here this mornng too, I guess summer is gone lol

Good Morning,

I won't go into all the details of what I have been thru in the last few days. I'll spare you the details. Just take my word for it that it's been a ride. One good thing is I still have my im hair intact.

Friday my neighbor and I went over to church for their annual flowersale and I got my plants. They are still sitting in the garage. Waiting for the chillo get out of here before I bring them out. Is the warm weather ever going to get here and stay?

Should be getting our fencing material this week. We have the kids from the youth group at church coming this Saturday to help dig post holes.

Am I the only one not going on the trip? Hate to think I won't have anyone to chat with while you guys are having so much fun. You guys are so lucky. I wish you the best time.

Everyone have a great day.

Just real quick... the birdie is what I made yesterday (FUN!!) and the heart was my metalsmithing 'homework' from last weekend.

Suzie - Sorry you're having a rough time. I can't imagine all you're going thru. There's a special place in Heaven for you...don't forget that! XOXO

[janiebug 0]

Suzie, big hug!!

Tracy, that is amazing your picture and story!! I am glad you sent a link cause I have trouble finding that. I printed out the year thing and what you said. I need to learn from you, you have done great and have a great gift of words. No wonder you were picked for Las Vegas!!

Tracy and Pam, I almost forgot about that!!! I just really hope that Adam doesn't win!!

Well I feel better, my fever broke last night, don't know what it was, odd. I still have really bad reflux, I have moved to the couch the past two nights. I think I will call my regular Dr. tomorrow.

My neices kids birthday party is today, we are going to this park that has a carousel. It should be fun. If this was after Gruene, I could post a picture, but since Judy (THank you) hasn't showed me yet...

Okay have a great day everyone!!

Jane

Morning Violets~

Tracy and Denise~ Happy Bandaversary! I loved your post Tracy...it has been an amazing ride for you.

TracyK and Janie~I too am sad to see it end. But it will be back in July! Yeah!!!

Terri~OMG loved that bird and heart. What fun...and you are doing sooo great at it!

Well, I think I told you all about the hummingbird that built her nest about 10 feet from Klaus our Rottie??? Well, you guessed it...dead hummingbird this morning, and an empty nest:mad::huh2:. Susanne was pissed, but I am not completely sure he killed her. If so, why didn't he eat her (he EATS EVERYTHING). So...kinda sad and pissy around here today!

Have a great day!

Terry... How creative! How artistic! How cool! You have such talent!!

Janie... Glad you're feeling better!

Pam... Sorry to read about the birdie...

Hi Jenn! Hi Tracy! Hi Tracy! Hi Judy! Hi Kat!

Where are you, Haydee?

Laura's probably winning big @ the casino right now...

Just got home from 5 hrs back & forth + the game for soccer... phew! That's a lot!

Gonna go crash for a bit. TTYL.

[Kat817 19]

Terry---your jewerly is beautiful, I love the design on the birds wing.....you do wonderful work!

Pamela---rather than the vets, try going to a feed store for some fly repellant, and if you cannot get it FOR him----try fly traps around him. We use spray, and also powder for the cows. This sounds so gross--but when they get to the ear, like they are now, the ear tissue itself allows the powder to adhere....

Ya know he may be a hummingbird killer, but you DO have to treat him humanely anyway!!! (j/k) We have a tube----you can buy themin different sizes, we use across the fence gate between the field and the barn--it is filled with fly powder, you hang it low, so they bump it, and self medicate as they walk under it to get back and forth. Might look and see if you could do something similar with fly powder in a tube sock or something across the door of his dog house, then his ear would receive a bit each time he went back and forth.....

I have stuffed jalapenos cooking, and they smell sooooo good!!!! I better go check them.

BBL~~

Good early evening, Violets..

turned out to be kind of a lazy day here today. After church we went to see our boat. DSIL's dad did the gutting and redoing of it and it looks awesome!! I bought it for $2,600 on ebay and he said someone offered him $4,000 for it. Way kewl. I told him we'd sell it, I'd get another on ebay and he could redo that one! He was not impressed. He is newly retired and his wife thanked us for getting him out of the house!! Now we have to get a hitch for my car so we can haul the boat to the lakes around here and get some fishing in!! I can't imagine when the boat would have been done if we had been doing all the work. Just no time, not to mention we wouldn't know what we were doing! I was totally thrilled with the result considering he is not a professional at boat restoration.

Ethan didn't come over today. DS didn't go golfing so DD and I went shopping while the Bobster and DSIL shot 9 holes. It was fun trying on clothes and shoes, but I didn't buy anything for me... just some shirts for the Bobster. I have plenty of clothes and need to purge another closet soon. We're having a garage sale the week before Kris and I go cruising. It'll give us a little extra spending money.

When Kris and I got home from shopping, I decided to have a few kettle chips. They went down smooth, but then BAM, they were stuck and I pb'd 5 times. Note to self. Do NOT eat kettle chips no matter how crunchy and yummy they are. Kris just shakes her head when I head to the bathroom now.

I made spinach pie yesterday so we'll have the leftovers for supper tonight. That will go down smoothly.

Going to do a few loads of laundry before settling in for the night. BBL...

Terry.. the jewelry is gorgeous!! You do great work.

Pam....How the heck can a Rottie kill a hummingbird without it ending up being unrecognizable???? I might not want to know the answer to that one.. :laugh:

Suzie....Hugs to you and hope things get better soon.

Tracy...hope your parents had a great time on the cruise. I really think we Violets should plan a cruise together for our next trip. (after we see how well we do on this trip!)

[Suziecat 379]

Hmmmm, I never have problems with kettle chips, BUT, that is a problem right there. Just need to stay away from them all together.

It turned out to be a gorgeous day here. Spring day and it's beautiful. Went and took lunch to my sis in the hospital and watched tv till she fell asleep. Came home and took the neighborhood kids to the park and walked doggie. We had such a good time. I decided to take them to Sheridan's for some frozen yogurt. Yummmy.

Hope you all have had a good day.

It is really cold here and rainy, so Suzie here is hoping we get your weather tomorrow!! Off to Walmart, I am on a serious shoe hunt, and saw somebody today with shoes on like I want, I asked where she got them, she said Wal Mart!! I don't think I have ever been to see their shoes. I actually don't like going to Walmart, too crowded and too many people slapping and hollering at their kids around. I go there occasionally, but it is generally too much for me to handle.

TracyK why is there a + sign after your name?

Have a good night!!

[TracyK 3]

Have a great evening violets!!

[Kat817 19]

Suzanne----girl you never cease to amaze me! You have so much going on, yet you find time and energy to take neighborhood kids to the park! You are very special!!! I so wish you were going to TX with us. I know your plate is heaping and overflowing right now-----and flying is an issue....but I really wish you could be there!!!

Jane, Tracy gets a + because she is on your friends list.....I am lazy and have not sent invites out!!! LOL

It is beautiful here, although a chill in the air. Rick and our son and Gary went riding, I thought about hitting the barn, and chose instead to just stay home, and try to get our house back in order, and ready for the week ahead. Kinsey is back tomorrow, and will be here late, Manda has a training program, if she can handle it---it will require sitting, and she is having problems sitting....so who knows! Then Tuesday she goes to Albq. to the cardio. Hoping to get some answers. Anyway, it is looking like a busy week, so I wanted to get laundry done etc. With the yard sale nothing got done, just messed up over the last couple of days! It is all back to order now, just finishing up laundry, and prepping to grill some chicken.< /strong>

Will check in later, off to fold some sheets.....will the fun never end????
