I checked out the site for Colorado and it said that there were no rooms in June 2009. Back from my meeting tonight and I am looking into the energy sector for some stock ideas, anybody having a company to contribute is greatly appreciated!! Where do you work again Terry?

My sunroof on my car broke today, I just hope it doesn't rain tomorrow otherwise I will get wet. If I can just get it closed I will be happy.

Busy day tomorrow starts with a 8:00 a.m. meeting. Then hopefully get my car fixed then work.

Hey V's~

Are we sure the dates work for everyone? Raise your hand if it late June works for everyone. Raise your hand higher if it doesn't. I just am not sure if we've heard from everyone about it.

The dates work for me....at this point I don't have a lot on the calendar for next summer, so I can put it there, and work around it!!

I am not sure about how far it is from Colorado Springs, but there is a place we went gambling up in the mountains, called Blackhawk. They have busses that run from the city up, you buy a ticket for the bus, and it includes a book of coupons for extra coins (like buy a roll of $10 and get $2 free) And a free hot dog at another casino, a free tshirt here, or a free pull there---and then you can ride back. It is really nice if you plan on having anything to drink, you are not driving in the winding mountain roads. We only went to Blackhawk once, but used to go to Central City all the time from Denver. For the life of me I can not remember the name of the other half of Central City---it seems the town is split in half due to county lines, so even some casinos are built in 1 building but are in 2 towns and counties. We always had fun up there! They are mostly large chain casinos.

You are having a run of bad luck with things Jane!!! But at least it is things breaking for you, as opposed to Suzannes run of breaking toes, and bones!!! You girls better get together and get over it all!!

We took Kinsey to the fair, and to the carnival, once again Granny rode all the kiddie rides. Was lots of fun, way more people out there today though which sucked!! The other day there were no lines, and Connor got to ride a lot more than Kinsey did in the allotted time.

Now I am just wasting time sitting in here, hoping she will drop off to sleep so I can go to bed. I remember being a kid at my Grandma's and hating going to bed in a quiet house. I learned to go to bed early, so I could relax and go to sleep before she and Grandpa shut everything down, then it was too dark, and too quiet, yet too many wierd noises!!! Kinsey just come in for another hug and kiss!! We have had several and several books, finally I turned the TV on in her room, and hoping she goes to sleep, 4 AM is going to come very early!!

I ate a hamburger patty with tons of green chile tonight!!! I ate about half. No bun, nothing but HOT green chile and hamburger with a little cheese. For lunch I had the salad that upset my stomach! Midday Kinsey and I had SF popsicles. I also had a handful of almonds. For Breakfast I ate a small bowl of Basic 4 Cereal. I drank lots of Water today, would not even hazzard a guess!! 7-8 bottles, then water at lunch.....exercise again consisted of lots of walking and climbing in and out of rides!! Was lots of fun though. Now tho my green chile is giving me serious heart burn!!!

All in all a pretty good day, no real cheating, normal, mostly healthy foods.

My allergies are killing me! I want to scratch my eyes out.....

So.....we have not heard from the Tracy's, Jenn, or Denise, and while we have heard from some of the others, we have not heard if those dates will work......

Y'all throw ideas and all around tomorrow and I will read all about them when I come home!!! Unless someone wants to drive to Albq. for me and let me sleep in!!! LOL

See ya when I get back!

Crap....

I woke up at 4:30 to go potty and got back in bed and my mind started racing like crazy. Just one thought after another and the next thing you know I had laid there for 45 minutes. No sense in fighting it so I got out of bed and here I am. Great, and I have a long day ahead of me. Just hope I don't fall asleep at work this afternoon.

Just a thought, do the places that Michelle found in Maryland have other sites? Those would fit the bill for what we are looking for, just seems like they are in a different area. Haven't had time to look at Suzies or Kats idea, they sound really nice too!!

Off for a busy day!! See you tonight!!

Morning Violets~

Yes, I think Michelle...those are the dates! Can I get a witness?

Well, I slept like crapola last night! First, it took forever to fall to sleep (had to go to bed early, I'll tell you why next). Then I felt something was crawling on me. I sleep in panties only and was not covered so the ceiling fan can blow on me (aahhh) and so something was "walking on my side". Well, in my sleep I flicked it off. It was small, perhaps the size of an ant. Then at 4:30 (too weird Susie...me too up at 4:30) I felt the little F$%^#r walking on my neck. I KNEW IT WAS REAL, as apposed to the first thing...thought I dreampt (is that spelled right) it. Anyhoo...I basically smoshed that in my fingers and flung it to the floor. Then I had the heaby-jeabies and laid there. My hair kept tickling my back and I was freakin out the whole time. So up and to the shower I went!

My alarm was set for 5:15 anyway. Today...brace yourself...I know you will be jealous...I have 3 doctor appointments! I have my primary checkup, then a pap, then a mammo! OOOOO will the fun ever end. I like to get the pap and mammo always in August. Those are appointments you want to have early in the morning, not after working all day. It just worked out this way w/ all the appointments. Good news is by noon, it will all be behind me!

Susanne toes are doing sooo much better than last time. In Feb (you may remember) she had ingrown toenails removed on both inside and outside on her 2 big toes. The first time was done w/ a PA from the Army...dumbass didn't do it right. She did not heal for nearly 2 months, couldn't wear boots w/ her uniform, had horrible toe growth...it was bad. Well yesterday she went to a REAL doctor (my podiatrist) and he had to redo it. Even he said, "The guy that did this sucked...he didn't even remove the ingrown toe nail." So she has to recoop from this, then will head to Phoenix. Poor baby...

Have a great day! I'll check in later before my inevitable nap this afternoon!

Last weekend in June works for me also.

Ok, so there are two problems to consider regarding taking a cruise:

1) The vast majority of them sail from Florida....which would be a day-long trip for a few of you.

2) Yes, you can get cruises from Galveston or New Orleans, but there are only a few choices. Out of Galveston there are two around our dates: one is a 5 day ($659) and the other is a 7 day ($979). There is a 4 day out of New Orleans ($479) but it departs June 18.

So in order to maximize our options, you have to depart from Florida...Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, etc. If we do that, then that adds a lot of travel time for some people.

So if we move back to the 'middle' of the country again...that's where Texas lies! Which makes sense for all the same reasons it did in May.

And again, in order for it to work for everyone, think of areas that are in the middle of the country and around MAJOR hubs.

Is there anything we can get to through Chicago?? I'm clueless about the north. Judy? Any ideas?

I'm open to anything at all.... I'm just throwing these thoughts out there.

[TracyK 3]

So.....we have not heard from the Tracy's, Jenn, or Denise, and while we have heard from some of the others, we have not heard if those dates will work......

Which Tracys? I have already said Aye....remember? There ya go skipping posts! :tt2: Shame on you! I was one of the ones getting people to say yes or no. Who knows, maybe in the process I did not make myself clear about me...LOL Nothing new. I lose it more and more every year! :der:

The other Tracy has a full plate right now...poor thing. This is what makes me wish we all ived closer together so we could run over and give group hugs when needed

I need to throw on some clothes so macy and I can go for our morning walk. Supposed to rain some later so I better get in our walking now. Hopefully we will still be able to go this afternoon.

BB viewers-lets keep our fingers crossed that Libra gets voted out of the house!!!

bbl violets!

Good morning.. I'll be brief...

Robby and I stayed at my sisters last night..... and NSV! HUGE NSV!

I fit into a pair of her jeans!!!!!!!! NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE have I been able to wear her clothes! I started whooping and hollering for her to grab the camera.. I started singing.. "I'm wearing my sisters JEANS! ohya ohya" she's like.. I CANT EVEN WEAR THOSE!!!!!!! (because of her tight gut syndrome) So then I tried on a pair of my 17 yr old neices jeans and they fit too!!!!!!!!!!!! I was on cloud nine!

and right now I'm wearing a complete sister outfit to work (since I didn't have clothes with me)

I'm toying with the idea of cutting my hair tonight... (this was the source of a major fight 2 weeks ago) SERIOUSLY he was fit throwing mad at the simple talk of me cutting my hair to my shoulders.. and he has since NOT SHAVED... even starting a new job.. he did not shave! HE LOOKS hideous...... don't get me started.. but I cancelled our January cruise yesterday. He found me at the daycare yesterday and blocked me in begging me to come home last night.. (reminded me of shrek) he layed on the guilt last night and this morning he already called me at work..... but instead of saying he was sorry or that he realized what an ass he has been he continues to try and make me feel guilty..... (he wants me submissive and a crying heap) So my resolve to NOT CRY is still in tact. He is a good man, but he has been acting like a class A ass since March, and I've reached my breaking point.

[Suziecat 379]

Ok, quick question. Is Colorado Springs where the Air Force Academy is at????????

See where I'm going with this?????
