Morning gals

Denise, - how nice

Pam - glad you are feeling better

long day yesterday, I did get a pr of boy shorts bathing suits from jcpenney, they were $38 marked down to $24 and I had $10 off. I was not overly thrilled with tops but i found some at Walmart and target so i'll go there, that is the easiest part. The other hard part is tht i'm bloated, due for my visit this week so shopping might be a little difficult. LOL

No pizza shop until next saturday... YIPEE

I didn't go to church today, slept sort of late. Slept better last night than a long time, I kept waking up, I kept spitting up, but I would go right back to sleep. Isn't that a lovely fact to know!! Is that called TMI?

I went to SteinMart last night in search of the elusive shoes, didn't find the shoes, but got a cute top. It is a 3x, I get sort of down when I need a bigger size, but it was so cute I didn't mind.

Well I am off to take shower! Have a great day, it is sunny here and I think it is supposed to be almost warm. But I am going to be inside, so don't really care!

Wow.. sure quiet today. Where is everybody???

Pam- Noo I wasn't at the track, I watch it with my mom every year. BUT we decided we're gonna go next year!! I think we may have a triple crown this year, Big Brown was smokin'!! I was sad about them killing Eight Belles on the track, but it ends up that's what they ALWAYS do if they get injured during the race.. kill them on the spot. They didn't do Barbaro because he was so famous (he would have won the triple crown too I think).. but eventually did have to euthanize him. It really was a buzz kill about Belles, I am glad I wasn't there, I'd probably have bawled, they do it right there in front of everyone!!!

Me & mom bet on the horses on a website, I bet on Brown to win, and won $50. Wee. Hehe. Ok I don't normally have time on weekends to get on here, this weekend is no exception, dinner is burning in the oven as I type this!

Just got home from seeing Jersey Boys, was it ever great!!! If you get a chance to see it do!! I really wasn't looking that forward to it, we have season tickets to the Broadway Series here, and even though I had heard a lot of good things about it, didn't really want to go. Almost canceled going this morning. I am sure glad I went!

I hope the reason everyone is so quiet is because they are having too much fun!!!

TracyK what is going on with your cyst? Is it all better?? I hope so!!

Have a good one!!

Hi Violets-

what a fun relaxing weekend I had! I sure needed that. I went and did some shopping for our trip. Me & Jenn will probably end up wearing the same Walmart clothes & look like twins! lol

Palais Royal also had a great sale this weekend. So I am set for our trip. I hope the stuff I didn't try on fits. I tried on bathing suits....what a joke. I won't elaborate on that one other than to say I will never like the way I look in one but at least I own one. I never did until last year. So, that in itself is an accomplishment I suppose. I will probably still weear a shirt or some shorts over it when we go. I guess I will always have a complex.

Jane-I am doing good so far. I have about another week of antibiotics left but I still feel a little knot there. The question is will it flare up again after the antibiotics are gone....we'll see!

I need to go get some pre-work week stuff done. Have a great night violets.

I Loved, loved, loved (!!!!!!) talking to Pamela!!! I read her message of distress, and was getting ready to post an answer, and I thought---what the heck and just called!! I am so anxious for this trip!!!!

I met my bandster friend Sofi in the mall today, and we shopped, found me a new Fossil purse I am seriously thinking of going back and buying!!! LOL

Other than that, I bought some sunglasses, and Mother's Day cards......big spender that I am!

I too had bet on the race with my DH-----he won. I had bet on Eight Belles, I kept telling him she was gonna go out there and show those boys how it was done. Poor baby, died trying. I cried. I cannot imagine putting mine down while they scream in pain, that was what was the saddest, is that was a painful injury. I just hope she had enough adrenalin still running through her, that she did not feel it as strongly. Compound fractures, would have been serious pain. Tragic end, spoiled the win, I am sure to a point for Big Brown------but man did he smoke that race or what???!!! He can make this a triple crown if he runs like that again, and from a 20 pole!!!!!!

We were actually going to go to the races here today--we have live horse racing combined with our casino. But yesterday left me feeling kinda raw about watching them pound the track so hard----so I opted to shop with Sofi. Rick stayed home and played motorcycles with the boys!!! LOL

Contest is over, so I am losing weight!!! Go figure! I have lost a pound and a half---will change my ticker when I remember to--3rd day now, so I am claiming it!

It must have been a busy weekend for everyone, it was quiet in here---everyone out shopping for our vacation!!! Wooo Hoooo

Catch y'all later!

That is too funny

I got a couple of halter tops at Target. Didn' get much else, i'm so bloated and have horrible cramps which means that this is going to be a great week

I started eating solids on friday but I don't think I'm ready, I took kids to applebees toniht and got an order of boneless wings... ate 4.... 2 hrs later ate 2 more - i think i am back to liquids, glad that I don't have to work again until Saturday

Well have a great night everyone, going to put ds to bed.

Well.. I am officially going back to my Atkins LC roots tomorrow..... induction levels of carbs....... so what did I eat today...... Dairy Queen icecream cake and cheese dip w/chips and popcorn with butter....... I started with two eggs over easy this morning and went down the crapper after that.........

Denise: I LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE PICS!!!!!!

I did work out in the yard today........ OK.. time to go.. I'll check in tomorrow

[Kat817 19]

Personally, I have had trouble eating all day----everything is moving sooooo slow, I feel like I had a serious PB.....and I didn't. Think the salad was just too hard to digest, and irritated me. So I am drinking mostly today, just taking it easy.

I don't have much restriction, but eating 2 eggs for me in the morning, would be a total impossibility!!! By evening that would not be an issue though!!

Well, I am off to see what Rick's plan is next......

Major Beautiful Weekend here.

Spent most of my weekend outside. Got my Tomato plants planted yesterday. Keeping my fingers crossed. It's been years since I've tried them. We were supposed to have put the new fence up this weekend but the materials were never delivered. I called to pool people and they said that ce there has been so much rain here the last couple of weeks , they're not sure if they will be out this week to put the pool in. Said they would have to come out and check the ground. We just won't be able to fill it up till the fence is put up. Patience.........

Denise, Those are some of the most beautiful pictures. I have never seen anything like them. Can't wait to see the baby.

Doctor's office called Friday morning and told hubby since he was over 50 that he needed to come in for some test. Looks like a colonoscpy, blood work and a prostate screening. Ten minutes later they called back and said that since I'm turning 50 next month that I need to come in for some test. It's hell getting old. lol, lol.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Hope the week is a good one for all.

Susie, was he trying to drum up business? Maybe he has a new addition to his house he needs help with funding so he had his nurses google all patients turning a certain age!! Too funny!! I am counting down the days before my health insurance goes up $60 because I turn 45. I don't think of that as being a new age group.

Have any of you heard of this site. It looks kinda neat.

All Things food and Diet - fatsecret

[kity 2]

Hey Violets~

Just checking in. That looks like a cool site Suzie, I saved it as a fav.

Well, no PB today!:wink2: I had:

breakfast:

1/4 cottage cheese, 1/2 avocado,

lunch:

1/2 c. egg sal 8 crackers,

snack:

strawberries, 40 cal of whip cream

dinner:

1/2 c. refried Beans, steamed calliflower

snack:

Low Carb ice cream pop

Still is a lot of food when I type it out, but actually...it doesn't feel like it. I do get hungry...cant help it. Like after the strawberries, I really felt full. Then as soon as I drink, I don't. Still trying to figure this fill out. Hell, it has only been 3 days.

I'll probably have a sugar free hot coco before bed.

Anyway, we had a great day. Went to an RV show...walked arou nd and went into some AMAZING RV's. Some of these puppies are 6-800K...and beautiful! We just enjoyed the beautiful day. Then we came home and relaxed!

Another busy week here. Really loved chatting w/ Kat, and am soooo ready to hook up w/ the Violets! This is gonna be sooo fun.

Have a fun night, and morning!
