Shrinking Violets Part 4

[kity 2]

Morning girls!

We had a wonderful time this trip!!! The weekend was a blast...and the violets held true to themselves, their diversities, and their commonalities too! There is a bit of magic w/ this group.

On my way to the west coast...should get home @ 7pm tonight...just in time to pack for Italy.

To our violets that did not make this trip...you were missed terribly. Next year...Haydee's wedding!

WHEW! Great trip, will post more later, catching up at work but wanted to say--- I figured out why I was told to take communion (Russ remembered). They said if you've been baptised, you take communion. So that's why we did it at the Catholic wedding.

What'd you think of the space center?

[janiebug 0]

space center was interesting. I watched an IMAX film with Tom Hanks. I could have spent more time reading.

No big purchases at Mall. I think tomorrow I am just going to sleep til whenever and then leave for home. It is sad to think this weekend is over!!

Back home safe & sound... but there's no magical margarita bowl in my freezer here! Waaah.

Judy... too funny that I went back, bought that 1/2 price book, and read the entire thing by the time we began our approach to DC!

Back to reality tomorrow... starting w/the completely empty 'frig here... evidently they forgot where the grocery store is located! lol...

Night night!

Good morning ladies!

My dsd moved in with us yesterday. It was hard on her at first because after she hugged her mom goodbye she turned back to look at her and saw her mom crying before she closed the door. It made her sad. I told her she would have been more upset if her mom acted like she didn't care at all if she was leaving, right? We go back Thursday to get the rest of her stuff and I told her if she didn't want to go, she didn't have to, that her dad could just get her things. We'll see. I just do not want her to change her mind out of guilt again, ya know?

Today is the last day of June. I made my -5 for the month but i may be a little over that right now...but I am not getting on the scale to find out. My tom hasn't showed up yet and I know that I am retaining Fluid so I will just call it 216 like the ticker says and deal with it in July. Anyone up for a -5 in July challenge?

Have a great day everyone...respect the pouch!

Count me in Tracy--------having a set goal seriously helps me! If I do more wonderful, but I know I will at least strive to make that -5!!!

So glad everyone had safe trips---now Jane is still travelling??? If so BE SAFE JANE!!! And thank you again!!!

We have had so much family in, and been having such a great time with them! We got a picture the other day of all the grandkids and great grandkids, and it is so big, it is hard to make out who is who!!! Last night there was well over a dozen great grandkids at my inlaws! Kinsey has been in hog heaven with all the kids, and the freedom they have to run out at the farm. Acres of land to roam and play! They took the kids to the ditch and let them fish for crawdads---they loved it!!! They are strictly a catch and release as far as I am concerned!!!

Some family is heading home today---so things will slowly go back to normal. Was nice to gather for a good occasion for a change.

Today I am going to lunch with my lap band friend from Durango, she is moving to TX, so it is a last get together for awhile anyway! Hate to see her go in a selfish manner, but if it is best for her I am glad she is moving forward!

Well I need to make a quick couple of payments so guess I should do that and head to work. I was late yesterday---for the only time ever! There was an accident that shut down the road---some man hit a guy on a bike and they had the life flight helicopter landing on the road.....so lots of us were late I figure!

Will see you later tonight, if I get in before 11 --- these late nights are getting to me!

Morning girls

It sounds like you all had a wonderful time. I missed you and thought of you all weekend.

Next year, I will be there, I just need to have everything work for me so that I can mentally deal with it. Kev just told me we are going to Chicago for his son's navy graduation in August..... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... don't think so

anyway, been working on gtting the house back together, having my aunts memorial service here in 2 weeks and my bathroom is a mess, but i hope to be able to put the tiles up Thursday and get it finished. My new laundry room i got when i did the kitchen needs a lot to be finished and is last on the list so the door gets closed. The kitchen/deck caused a mess in 3 other rooms, but i guess they will be done.

I'm still at +10 but back on Protein Shakes, stupid lexapro made me gain all that and i can't get rid of it. I'm going to my primary tomorrow and going to get my Water pill adjusted, that is not working anymore, and going to try to get another anxiety/anti-depressant that will not make me gain weight.

Cant wait to see pictures

Jane, thank you so much for my present, I love it and used it over the weekend.....

love ya' all

Man, the first day back is like a hangover, huh? Bleh.

DS is now in the highest group at goalkeeper camp (even higher than the one they called about on Sunday night!), the "Director's Club" that works directly with the, well, director (duh). So proud of him!

This is the reply he sent me to an e-mail I'd sent him last Friday describing our relaxing, "frozen" pursuits of the day: Sounds like some VERY happy women in Alabama. Hope your bail isn't more than a few hundred bucks. He's a hoot huh? He knows his Mama... :tongue2:

Ok, back to reality... laundry, work, grocery shopping... at least I know I always have job security here w/this family!! :cursing:

Hello from Nashville. I am getting ready to leave. I am just going home. I was going to take this dinner cruise last night and it was $90! I bet that didn't include tax, then I would have to tip.....I was just being cheap. I am going to wear my biggest top home and ditch my bra in the car. I have got a burn on my back, that for some reason keeps getting worse instead of better? Now I have blisters on my back where my bra hits. Owww!! I am such a baby, but it hurts. It didn't hurt Sunday and not really yesterday until late evening. Maybe it is the driving and sitting against it. HHMMM, I think I just solved it!!!!!!!!!!!

I came into the hotel and they had cnn on and they still have coverage of Michael Jackson dying! I am really surprised that it is still on such a huge NEWS channel. Oh well I am off, next time I post should be from my home!!
