Shrinking Violets Part 4

[Kat817 19]

Hey girls, we are home from dinner. We have miss Kinsey spending the night, so this will be short!! I miss her so much, but right now she is on the porch blowing bubbles. We played a game of war (with cards) and I swear to you, in one round I was down to 11 cards!! It was hilarious! She was dancing the little jig, and giggling, she was so happy to be winning big!!

Well we thought the deer and Rick both lived through it, we were wrong, he found her in the median this morning, she had a broken neck we figure. If you saw his leg, you'd know why---but if one of them lived to tell about it, I am more than thankful it went the way it did. He is still kinda freaked out about it, we all are. I know he has contemplated it happening, we live in a rural area, and spend HUGE amounts of time on the bikes---but to know you CAN and DO react in a wise manner is cool. Rather than freaking out and screaming and freezing, which is what I likely would have done!

OK----off to run a bubble bath.

Tomorrow I am going to go get my hair cut. Not as short as Michelles----but several inches----thinking 6-8 are GONE!!!

I am off work until the 21st!! YAY!!!

See ya later probably!

Oh yeah!! I made 3 pounds towards the 5 as of this morning--------of course that was before my massive dinner, so we'll see what tomorrow says. LOL

Morning gals

just wanted to check in before i vanish for the day. I'm showered and drinking my coffee before i have to finish getting things together and leave for the cemetary.

I'm ticked because the pool is a little cloudy, we have had so much rain it was a mess from my ph being off, i got it clean except a few leaves i missed and almost clear but still a little cloudy, it is always perfect so it doesn't make me happy the day of a party.

have a great weekend everyone

oh i saw someone... an arch enemy to be honest.... who has thrown in my face recently she is smaller than me.. well, i didn't even know it was her and i knew when i saw her she had full rny - she lost 150lbs in 6 months and the skin on her face and neck alone made her look like she was 75years old.... and said she is super hot.... with all the skin and the hips and ass she had, can't be less than 25-30lbs less than me... and i'll take that anyday, expecially since i was out last week and was complimented and told i didn't look a day over 30.

ok that is my good moment of the day...

oh that and i'm down the 5 from june and maybe if i can go to the bathroom, i can get working on the -5 for july

[TracyK 3]

Jenn-a good compliment goes a long way, right? wooohooo!

Kat-way to go!! You will make the -5 this month. I am still working on it! But I have faith!

Have a great day everyone. Say a prayer that my dsd makes it thru the day with her grandma unscathed....(with no guilt trips)

Respect the pouch!

[Kat817 19]

I logged on, and had forgot to weigh-------so I read Tracy's post--went to the scale and I can claim the -3!!! YAY!!!

But tonight we are going to the Chuckwagon thing. But usually with me, I hang on a weight for a couple days or even a couple of weeks, and then a pound or 2 will drop off, then I hang there and on and on again.

Hope things go well for your dsd Tracy----I predict soon it will not be an issue. She will be around you enough to develop a "Tracy Backbone"!!!!! LOL

We have several large Maple trees around us. When Rick took out the big ladder to service our cooler this year, he used it and climbed up into the big tree in the yard, and hung a new swing for the kids. Now that Kinsey can swing herself----she is out there day and night, she loves it. It swings such a long distance, and her weight is not enough to make it go real high, but with the long swing back and forth she thinks she is going great guns!!

We had a swing in it before that was made from a tire, but cut to look like a horse, and you straddled it to swing. BUT she could not pump to go on it, and she NEVER used it. So he put a regular swing up there, and give the horse to our son, for our grandson--she was not thrilled over that! Too bad!!! She was so used to being here every day---she is now wandering around to see what all has changed.

Hey Jane, can you fitme in today for a haircut?? Lori who does mine, is not sure she is going to be able to do mine today. She called me from the Urgent care, they are thinking her DD may be having an appendicitis attack. If so she will go home with the grandkids, and I will be shaggy for longer. She said if they send her DD home, then by my appt time the kids Dad will be there. So just playing wait and see right now. Hope she is well for her sake, not just my hairs!!

Good Luck on your memorial thing today Jenn--sorry about the pool----it is always something it seems like. But it will be fine, they know it has been raining! You are just lucky to HAVE a pool!!!

Next weekend is our Fire and Ice Rally. I think we will leave and go down on Thursday, and spend a little time exploring the ice caves----which is a big freak out for me--the caves are! Gonna be brave!

So Suzanne, is this new job offer something you would enjoy? More $$$?? You always seem to talk about your hospital volunteer time like you really enjoy it. Keep us in the loop!

From the looks of the map on the news, Terry is waking up to fresh COOL air! Mornings in the mountains are so crisp I love it! Our rally on the other hand is desert! But it is a fun rally, it is geared to the family---it is nothing to see generations of a family walking around. The local high school cheerleaders there have a play area for the kids, they have a dozen or so bouncers--the giant air up things kids jump in, and they have a fountain the kids are allowed to play in. Where the last rally we went to was really heavily attended by biker gangs----this one is a family affair!

Guess it is pancake time......my 3 pounds may seriously not last. But this is rare time with the Kinsey girl, so pancakes it is!

Have a great day everyone---will check in when I can!

Company picnic at 11........

I went and worked out his morning and remembered that it was my turn to take my nephew to his support group meeting. So I went home and got him and drove him all the way out there to find out that they decided to change the time to later. Oh great. So home we go.

Sister and her hubby packed up to go spend the night at a friends farm. They can shoot the guns and ride the atv's. They took my nephew with them so that he can be kept busy and have a good time. My hubby left to go visit his twin about an hour drive from here. Yes, I have the house all to myself. I finish cleaning and I'm running the sweeper when my other nephew calls and wants to know if he can bring the girlfriend and her son and Abby over to go swimming. CRAP. I called hubby and asked if he could turn around and come and get me. LOL. So much for a nice peacefull day to myself.

The job is in the department that we volunteer in. I already do quite a bit of the work anyway. Now I would just get paid for it. I still have to talk to the supervisor to find out if she is still interested in me and how they go about hiring. It is definately more money than I am making now, alot more. The problem would be in the hours. It would weekends and evenings. I told hubby I didn't think that would be a big problem since we are here all weekend. We travel during the week and I don't mind evenings because all the big wigs are gone home by then. The job I have now is less than minimum wage and is a no brainer, this new one is twice what I make now but a lot more work. Physically and mentally. But the paycheck would be nice. So we just need to wait and see what happens.

Trying to decide if I want to go swimming with them or stay in where it's cool and quiet. Wish me luck.

hi gals

just a check in... everyone is gone and has been a very very long day

i didn't eat much but i'm super stuffed and man i wish i could go to the bathroom.

i offered to sit for a friends kid but he is bored out of his mind, i'm exhausted and he is here until midnight. i'm going to have to take a little nap, 20 mins or so

i'm trying so hard to stay strong, but i think i might crash today. i'm tired and just mentally exhausted

Kat, just got home but my 12:30 cancelled today, so you could have had that spot!!

Hugs to everyone!!!

Ohh I kept forgetting to update ya'll on my dad in WSOP. :frown:

He was knocked out 3rd day so he came home yesterday. He said he's not upset, he played well, just got unlucky. First 2 days he was above average in chips, and on day 3 he just had some bad beats.

He said he played next to Jean Robert (from Survivor) at one table, and me & my dad watch Survivor together so apparently dad was funny and asking him all kinds of secret questions about Survivor lol. I bet he loved that. Normally my dad doesn't mess with the 'celebrities'; but he couldn't resist talking to the survivor kid.

Russ and I about to go to Publix to get groceries, Carson is staying at my parent's tonight. I'm gaining weight. I am going to tell my doc (fill scheduled July 20) that I think somethin is wrong and he needs to quit blowing me off, if he doesn't want to at least do a fluero, I will be going to another doc for a 2nd opinion. Hopefully that will get the ball rolling.

[TracyK 3]

Home from my moms -1 child. Macy stayed there...what a shocker, huh? lol

Things went fantastic with dsd. She is home now and is all smiles. Looks like we made it through the hardest part unscathed. YAY!

Have a great evening everyone!

Good Morning, Violets..

I'm up early to get ready for the early church service. I'm lay reader today plus I'm playing flute and singing a solo. It's call the "Judy show". We have a wedding outdoors at noon. It's 49 degrees right now.. mighty chilly for mid-July. But at least the church won't be hot and stuffy. We don't have a/c in the church and it can get downright uncomfortable during the summer months, but not this year so far.

I got my pool time in yesterday. I hope to get some in today, but Kris invited us out for the afternoon. We'll have to see how pooped we are after all the activities today.

PamELa should be arriving home today. Hope Michelle and Terry are having fun on their get aways.

Off to get prettied up... seems to take longer every time now. :frown::tt2:

Everyone have a great day!! Be good to yourselves.

Good Morning Girliez-

We've had a perfect few days in Steamboat Springs. Yesterday the sky was filled with hot air balloons, the kids went rock climbing and had a blast, and in the afternoon we went to an awesome art festival. I got a henna tattoo around my ankle and I'm liking it!

Today we're reluctantly leaving here and then heading for Rocky Mountain National Park & then Estes Park -- should be a nice road trip.

The weather has been perfect -- No air conditioning required! Hard to believe, eh, Haydee and Tracy? I'm sure gonna miss Colorado. Really hoping I can come back with Richard in late September to see the leaves changing and maybe drive to Moab, Utah, too. I keep hearing such nice things about it.

TTYL!

Morning gals

Tracy glad you guys made it through the weekend and all is weel.

Terry - sounds perfect

I'm really sick to death about my life change the last 10days, i don't know how to take any of it. I am hurting so badly and don't know what or how to move on. The party is over and I don't have anything major to distract me and in the last 12 hrs, that is not good, i have not slept more than an hour at a time in the last 10days and i am up thinking, which is not good.

i don't know what to do with myself - and how worthless i feel, but i wont bore you with that.

anyway, have a graduation party today, going to try to get my shit together so i can function.

hope you all have good day

[TracyK 3]

Jenn- :frown: I wish there were something I could say to get you out of that dark place you are in. I wish I could just snap my fingers and make it better. Just know I am here if you ever wanna unload!

[Jennifur 0]

thanks

i wish i could snap out of where i am too, it is not a fun place
