Phew! Now I can exhale about Kat!!

TracyKS... ?????

[Suziecat 379]

I was in the grocery store picking out Soups when my cell phone beeped me with a message. That was wonderful news about Kat. I'm so happy for her and Rick.

TracyinKS, what's going on? I know at the moment that the chocolate frosty seems like it will take care of everything but it win't so just put it down becaus e I guarantee you that after you eat it you will hate yourself for it. Get some gum or lifesavers.

I can hardly wait till tomorow evening. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to wear. I will be bringing my camera also. This is going to be so much fun.

I have to work in the morning than we are going to close the pool. I'm so sad but the Water temp is 68 degrees. Here's for an early warm spring.

Pam, that sounds so lovely. Can't wait to see the pics. I miss the sounds and the smell of the ocean. I don't miss the sand in my food though. Have a great time.

Tracy, Hope Macy gets to feeling better soon.

Have a great evening.

Thank goodness Kat's alright. Such good news!! I feel like I can breathe again!

Tracy - What's an IEP? I trust it's not something/someone you want to do often. I wanted a shake in the worst way yesterday, but the only thing that stopped me was the electric was out at the Dairy Queen. HA! The next stop I made, JIB, the line was 8 cars long!! I decided God was trying to tell me something. So I went home and had 2 glasses of wine instead. :thumbdown:

Other Tracy - I'm fine except that I'm back at work now. Yuck. Glad you like the jewelry! I've got to start selling some of this stuff! It's piling up!! lol

Pam - You're going to be a wonderful officiator! I wish I was there, too. Good thing we're not....we'd be making faces at you in the back row. :thumbup:

Laura - glad you're better too. Jeez!

[Teachlady 3]

Hey Violets..

Just in from the pool. I think I can squeeze out one more day before we close it up. It felt so good to get in there and do my exercises.

Just an hour til I have to be at our concert. I'm heating up my tilapia right now.

I'll check back when the concert is done and I've unwound a bit. Everyone have a great evening!!

[TracyK 3]

Tracy and I must have been sisters or something in a former life...i swear! My gosh those things (frosties) are my weakness! Whats up Tracy? What happened?

Terry-you made me lol when I read your post cause I did the same thing yesterday but DQ, Wendys and Sonic were all out of sinful treats. SO, I did not get one. I figured it was God telling me something too. I did not go down without a fight though! LMAO

An IEP is an Individualized Educational Plan. The individualize and personalize a students education. Meetings are called to involved the parents, and keep them in the "know" about programs etc. their child will get.

Been a model bandster today and I am starving. Going out to dinner...but cause I just had a fill, gonna 'do' something soft and mushy. He wants his patients on liquids for a week, then mushy for a week, then soft for a week...yeah freakin right. I do mushy/soft for a week...then slowly go (or try) regular. Did I mention the new nutritionist is oooo about 5'11, 100 pounds and looks like she just left "America's Next Top Model" show. My gawd...I mean really...she turned sideways and damn near disappeared. She was all pissy w/ me for not taking Vitamins and made me go get 9 vials of blood drawn yesterday (did I tell ya'll this?). Anyhoo...skinny biotch, lol!

OK...gotta boogie!

Today is Hubby's birthday. He wants meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I already have it made, I just need to put it in the oven.

I'm so happy about Kat.

Everyone have a great evening.

Hi! Just got home from work and dinner at parents. I am going to pack and make some blonde brownies. These are sooo good. If you were coming to Kansas City I would make you some!!! My parents also gave me a bb tape from the last show, so I will be able to see it.

Glad Kat is okay and thank you Judy for texting!!! I hope Laura is still on the mend, Michelle has got her gyaig and so does Judy!! I will hopefully be joining soon.

By the way Suzie ketchup or gravy on the meatloaf? I LOVE meatloaf with ketchup!!!!!!!!! YUMMMMMMMM

[mdrai 3]

Good night, my lovelies! :thumbup:

[GR8 1]

Laura - How are you doing?

TracyinKS - glad to hear I am not th eonly one that eat's (or can eat)Large Frosty's.

TacyK - I hope Macy gets to feeling better soon! What a great DH.

I am okay - I really need to change up my eating and get back to losing again. My cousin had Gastic Bypass last week - and that has me feeling guilty that I have gained 23lbs from my lowest point (even though only 24 hours there) and I need to EXERCISE.

Judy - thanks for keeping us updated!

Kat - So happy to hear you are feeling much better.

Kity - 9 vials - wowser that is a lot! Hope they come back all in the norm.

Suziecat - My DH loves meatloaf also -- we made some last weekend - on the grill. mmgood.

We got a new puppy about 3 weeks ago (9 mo old corgi - named Peyton) SHE has more energy than the law should allow. The kicker -- she just started her first heat. Did you know the messy part lasts 16 days -- I am so tired form all the extra work. Wheew. She is adorable and te best personality. HAPPY all the time. AND getting along fine with our 7yr old German Shephard - Heidi.

Beware -FOOD PORN:

I went and saw Paula Deen saturday. She brought Mike - her husband and she is SO FUNNY and entertaining. They also had expo of 100 vendors.

HERE IS WHAT I DISCOVERD THAT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD:

1. Tastefully Simple's Absolutely Almond Pound Cake - a simple mix, add butter and Water.< /p>

Very moist and wonderful flavor - best I ever have had.

2. West Virginia fruit & berry - Cherry Butter- absolutly heavenly on toast!

3. River City Bean Co. - Richmond Va - has these Keylime flavored chocolate candies with coffee infused in. They come in a small tin - great pick me up!

(those above I bought - I was weak!)

Also good was:

Gracie's Garden Franklin VA -- had lots of uniquie jelly's - such as Garlic Basil Jelly You could take and toss on Pasta - be good - or poor over cream cheese - serve on crackers or bread.< /p>

Have a good evening everyone! :thumbup:

Tonight it was gravy. Gravy on the meatloaf, gravy on the mashed potatoes, gravy on the biscuits, green Beans, apple pie and vanilla ice cream. And it all was wonderful. Than we took doggie for a walk.

Normally we have ketchup but with it being hubby's b-day I got the gravy. I like ketchup when I make meatloaf sandwiches. Yummy.

Gina, Peyton is so cute, love those ears.

[TerriDoodle 6]

Gina -- I LOVE Corgies!!! They are soooooo sweet! We had one that lived across the street from us. They had an Iron gate across their driveway so he was outside quite a bit....and when we would walk our dog he would RUN to the fence and hop and jump 'til we came over to him. Just the cutest dog ever! I can't wait 'til we get another dog. We had to put ours down right before my LB surgery and i sure do miss her. Congrats on your new baby!

[TerriDoodle 6]

kat - thinking of you!!!

Evening, Violets..

Well, another concert done. We got a standing ovation so we must have done something right!! I had a couple of NSV's and then a real downer. Several people told me how nice I looked tonight.. actually heard the word pretty! :thumbup:

BUT.. two of the girls forgot to bring white tee shirts to wear under the black tops so I told Bob to bring two of mine. One was a medium and one was a 2X from my former life. Well, the lady who wore the 2X one thanked me for bringing the shirt to her and said it was a good thing we were about the same size so it would fit her. arghhhhhhhhhhhhh I haven't worn a 2X in a long time! In those particular tees I wear a medium!!! OH well, can't have all NSV's all the time!!

I'm off to go watch some TV with the Bobster and then head to bed. Everyone have a good night. sleep well. We got Kat feeling better... now we really need to work on Laura!!!

[Daisalana 33]

Tastefully Simple is awesome, a friend from another forum introduced me to them 2 years ago..I was looking for a good beer bread mix (to make to take to in-laws for xmas).. she told me to try theirs, I ordered it, and it was amazing. I bought several boxes, I make it for every holiday..in fact I still have a couple boxes. You just mix in a bottle of beer, and optionally add butter to the top. voila! This year I also ordered a couple of their pumpkin bread mixes, but I haven't tried them yet.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Another day of working from bed, and taking meds. The pain is extremely slow and going away, but I am noticing more and more progress. I can do more with mild pain instead of the excruciating pain..still can't bend or reach though.

I am going to try to only take muscle relaxers tomorrow instead of them & pain meds.

I am also reading one of the books Russell brought home for me "The Glass Castle".. very sad, very good.. I am 3/4 through, going to try to finish before passing out... I recommend this book though!

So glad you're healing well Kat!!

Oh and for what it's worth, Judy I don't know how ANYONE could think you wear a 2x. You look like a size small quite frankly, you're very petite!!
