Shrinking Violets Part 4

[TerriDoodle 6]

WAY TO GO, TRACY!!!!! And June isn't even over yet! You might 7 or 8#!! How often on average are you going to the gym? What's your favorite thing to do there? What's your least favorite? When we get back from Colorado, Hannah and I are going to join the gym and go together, too. I am so excited to have a gym buddy! :biggrin:

I cannot even express in words how miserable the weather is here today The temps were the same up in the hill country but SO much drier that as long as you had shade, you were OK. Here, it doesn't matter -- shade or no shade, you're miserable. Get used to it, I'll be bitching like this for the next 3-4 months!

Ya'll have a good day!

Ya'll see PETA is mad about Obama killing a fly? They are so ridiculous.

Anyway just the way of things, I told ya'll my cousin from Canada is coming next weekend; well my parents are in Bahamas and like last year they decided to stay longer. So they won't be here for tomorrow (father's day) cook out, so dad just called and said we're doing the father's day cookout next weekend. I told him I'll be on my trip, but I told him since it's in Guntersville I plan on just coming back for an hour to say hi to cousin & now wish him a late father's day lol.

We never have anything special goin on, our cook outs are routine, and the one time they decide to do special stuff it's when I'm going to be with my V's!

Thank you! I go to the gym at LEAST 4 times a week. Favorite thing is treadmill & leg presses...least favorites are eliptical (cause it hurts) and crunches (cause they suck, lol). I mainly just do my 2 favs. I walk anywhere between 2.25-3.5 miles on the treadmill. Take about 40 minutes to an hour. As I go longer & lose more I will do more strength training. I am glad you & Hannah are gonna pair up and go to the gym. That'll be fun .

The heat & humidity...ugh, I hear ya sista...it SUCKS. I will be right there with ya complaining. Thank God for a/c gyms!

Just got home from work.

Way To Go Tracy. You are very impressive.

Terry, How cool to have a gym buddy. That's neat. There's a few ladies that come into work together to exercise. I'm more of a do it alone person, but I do like on fridays when hubby and I go together.

Spitting rain here. Not sure what the evening weather is going to be like. Tomorrow they are calling for, Hot, Hot, Hot. I say, Pool, Pool, Pool.

I stayed after work today and shampoo'ed the carpet. Oh Yuck that Water was black. Nasty. But now all will be exercising in a very clean facility. Yeah Me.

Chat at ya later.

Hello Vi's,

It has been forever and a day since I have been online at all, although I imagine that will change now. I am sorry I have been out of commission for so long.

I had the baby two weeks ago . . . everything went well and I was feeling better and better. I even logged in from the hospital. The Saturday I left from the hospital I was feeling a little under the weather. Since then I have been sick as a dog at home and am just starting to feel better.

I am pretty sure the problems were band related in that I had been having trouble keeping anything down without vomiting/pbing/etc. I have been on a liquid diet for most of two weeks and this is just my second day of solids. It has been rough and I have been exausted and weak (on top of having a newborn). I swear there were many days there where I just wish I would have never gotten a band . . . it was that bad.

Anyway, I am better now but I have to catch up on a gazillion pages of Vi' reading. I just wanted to check in quickly and let everyone know what was up :0). I've really missed all of you.

Heather, Thanks for checking in. We were very worried about you and the baby. Glad to hear that you are on the mend. Keep us posted when you get a chance.

We would love to see more pics when you have a minute to post them. Give Ayla a big kiss and hug for us.

Hey Heath...Glad you posted, we were worried. Feel better soon!

Terry, glad you and dd will work out together. I hated it when Sus didn't workout w/ me...and ended up not going. My new fav is she and I, side by side on two elipticals!

I only did 1/2 a mile today because our trainer came in...but that is ok...he kicked our asses! We gave Klausy a bath and a shower and I am pooped!

Have a great night everyone!

I am home. We cut our trip a little short, we got bad news while there.

Our little "Marvin", passed away yesterday. The news was just heartbreaking. Such a sweet, loving and innocent soul. I consider myself extremely lucky to have had her in my life.

Her actual name is Marilyn ---- but I ask that you remember her as Marvin in your prayers. She is pain free, and regaling the angels with her stories now---but there are lots and lots of tears being shed for her here. My niece is beside herself, she is blaming herself for Marvin being alone when she went to OK to bury her Granny. Poor thing, she had no idea of course.

They changed antibiotics multiple times, but her lungs were pretty scarred from years of asthma, and the pnuemonia just would not respond to treatment.

I was sitting there at camp crying last night and leaned over against Rick, and when I looked down --- there on the ground lay a penny, mud encrusted....but still a "penny from heaven" I have no doubt.

I am sorry you have been so sick Heather. Hope it is all much better for you and the wee one now.

They are delivering my cousins twins on Monday. They said the boy is now close to 6 pounds, and the girl about five and a half. So in order to keep her from spontaneously going into labor they will take them by c section Monday. The boy is breach in the birth canal area, if she begins to dilate seriously, he would be in jeapardy. So Blake and Macy (!) will be here in just hours now!!!

You girls have a nice Fathers Day----we are cooking out for the dads----son is doing the cooking so Rick gets a break too! I on the other hand am in charge of most of the sides! Normal tho----isn't it???

XOXOXOX
