Shrinking Violets - Part 5!



Recommended Posts

Yeahhh, Michelle's back. It sounds like you had a wonderful time. I must admit, I am still jealous :0)

Laura, You should put in an incident report as soon as you possibly can. I am sure they have cameras, but it is not to their benefit to provide the film showing your fall so it may not be easily obtained. Also, I am not sure how long they would keep a recording . . . is it a week, a month, a few days??? What caused the fall initially . . . was it wet or did you trip over something?

Haydee, I am with you. Wedding is for glamour and not meant to be the same as every other day. I love the idea of straightening it and putting in big curls :0)

One more thing, when I looked on Amazon for cell phones, I found some accessory packs for .01 but didn't see any actual phones . . . am I missing something? Is there a link I could use?

Suzy.. guess I don't understand.. If you already had AT&T, it would just be an upgrade. My contract was about up so I could pick out a new phone and then just have the numbers transferred. The entire fee I paid was $.01 for the phone. No activation fee, no transfer fee, no nuthin. Glad you like your phone. I really am getting used to mine. Have a good time at Curves today!!

Just finished a slice of 10 grain bread with Peanut Butter and grape jelly. Comfort food for me. I'm sharing some grapes with Ethan right now.

I had a piece of homemade chocolate cream pie at rehearsal last night. It was a reward for having a great concert and I enjoyed every bite!

Laura.. glad you're going to have a doc take a look at the knee. You might have some Fluid buildup that could be drained.

Haydee.. it's 1 p.m. right now and the temp is 46!! Brrrrrrrr. I have plants to plant, but no time until tomorrow to do it. Then it's going to be a marathon garden day. Not many good days left before winter. I won some ferns on ebay and am hoping those will be here tomorrow so I can plant everything at once.

Of to do laundry. BBL...

DL/DW always makes me feel weird (good weird, can't explain it) when I go there.. no matter what my age.

I know exactly what you mean! It's that long-ago childhood "Christmas Eve" + your birthday excitement feeling all rolled into one! It's so rare to experience that feeling as an adult -- that's one of the reasons I love to go... or think about it... or plan it... or help OTHERS plan it (hint, hint)! :) Even DH was actually SKIPPING a couple times -- even tho he denies it!

Take care of yourself!!

Exactly!! That's a great way to explain it--I've tried explaining it to Russ before--he's never been there. He gives me a weird look, but I tell him it makes me feel like a really excited happy kid just by walking in the gate.

Heather, it's a handicap slope (blue) leading into the store, and it's merged into the sidewalk. So I was walking the sidewalk, stepped onto the slope--which silly me assumed it would be textured or something--and it wasn't, so my legs went sliding right out from under me, I actually did a sideways tumble down the ramp after I fell on my knee (from bouncing!).

By time we left the store they had put a non-slip mat out there.

The legal place I talked to left me a voicemail, said they're sending me a contract. No idea what it's about or..whatever.. she said I fill it out and they handle it from there. This is completely out of my realm, any idea what those are about? Are they scams? lol

Went to lunch with an old high school friend who is now a musician, he has a new CD coming out of hymns; they he wrote. I said I couldn't wait to hear it, so he gave me 2 CD samplers with 2 songs on it each. Oh...my...goodness. They are so beautiful, 2 of them made me get teary-eyed. I can't wait till it's available on Itunes (the whole album).

Crying baby.....

Just quickupdate with babe in arms, talked to legal place, she said the case manager says there's grounds for a suit and I fill out the contract, they go back and forth with gas station's insurance.. nothing out of pocket to me, they get paid out of the settlement.

I told her how I didn't file anything, etc.. she said that's not a problem.

This is new to me. Last time I sued was the guy who busted up my car in ABQ and I still haven't been paid by that :/

Good morning Violets~

I lifted weights today...so I am 4 for 4 this week...all systems go for a 5 day workout week (provided I get my butt in there tomorrow)!!! YEAH ME!

Had a great dinner last night. Made pork loin (in electric skillet), w/ mushrooms and gravy, spetzla (german noodles), and steamed zuccini! It was so good...I had a little of each and a ton of zuccs. Tonight we are going to a fundraiser for the school at (wait for it...) DENNY'S! I am sure I will get the nachos, cause they are the best and I live for them (plus they are way band friendly as they slide right through). I'll have a salad for lunch, which I have one everyday, and save room for the nachos.

Going to my primary after school for a check up...then DENNY'S then home to get ready to go to DISNEYLAND! (don't laugh Michelle:lol::):lol:) I expect Mickey to be wearing a rainbow feather boa or I will be disappointed!

Pop in later from work!

"I expect Mickey to be wearing a rainbow feather boa or I will be disappointed!" -- He IS fabulous, so maybe he will!

Just got back from aqua ai chi... love it! So relaxing and zen... helps my mind clear and re-focus.

Off to shower... then I get to go to the Middle School 6th grade lunch period (save me!) to help DD survey the kids for her Sci Fair project (ugh, I hate these!) about how many hours of sleep they get. I want to procrastinate it away 'til tomorrow... but in my fresh zen state, will embrace today and get it done. "Oommmmmmm"

(tee hee!).

Good morning! Yes, it will be a great October for all of us!

I plan on Water water water everyday, staying away from carbonated beverages and treadmill at least 5 days a week. I need to be pumped!!

I wish I was going to Disney!!! So much fun!!

Laura - I hope you get something, anything. Every little thing helps. Have you decided what you're gonna do? Fix your band or convert to sleeve?

Jane - ((((hugs)))) You at least had a good attitude yesterday. That's always something?? Ha ha ha... Jane, I would have been so pissed I would have come on here cussing and screaming. Three clients is NOT ok. Do you ever watch Tabitha's Salon takeover? She needs to do that to Charlie's place...

Judy - Thanks so much for posting the link. All this time I thought it was only with ATT so I never bothered to look. When I clicked on the link I saw that it works with all carriers. You can just upgrade your current phone and you're done!

Heather - yes, thank you. I'm trying to convince Juan to think like that. Men are so hard headed sometimes. He about freaked when I told him that I was getting fake eyelashes. He thinks I'm gonna look like a muppet or something...

Michelle - aaahhh, I wish I had your zen... I have a pile of crap that I really need to get to and I'm just avoiding it... I've been checking my email, checking in here, and fixing to go to a wedding site to look for invites when I really need to get to work... send me some "get it doneness"... ha ha ha

I'm starving today for some reason. I ate pretty early last night so that might be why. I'm ready for lunch and it's barely 11am!

I have found the answer...I KNOW it is the wrong answer tho!

I am sick---cannot eat or drink much of anything. I went to the Dr. yesterday he gave me the Zofran that dissolves on your tongue for the nausea. Is helping some. Is supposed to help enough for the meds he give me for the other issue. Not helping at all, I think the Immodium OTC stuff works as well.

Anyway, without eating, I am losing weight, can you imagine??? LOL

I am going to try to work today, the OM was pissy about me being off yesterday---told Rick makes me want to go in and breath on her!

Otherwise, all is about the same here, Rick is still working, waiting on the other job, the guy he knows that is there that he used to work with--he saw him when he went in for his interview said it was 2 months before they actually hired him from the original interest. Which is fine. If his current work runs him off he gets some severence, and if he can get on soon after it will all work out, I am turning it over, I cannot stress over it, especially since it does nothing to the outcome whatsoever!

Enjoy Disneyland Pamela! I hope Mickey does not let you down.

Guess I will go get ready for work.....fun.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
