Shrinking Violets - Part 5!

[HeatherO 7]

Happy belated birthday, Haydee.

Drive by post . . . I am busy this morning and was packing all weekend. Hardly have time to breathe, lol.

Welllll Our SS list is HALF of what it was last year, and that's with the ADDITION of Heather!! Just making sure eeeeeveryone sees it that may want to partake :thumbup:

Happy Birthday Haydee!!!! My phone vibrated at midnight to tell me it was your birthday LOL. I was going to text you, then I was like nah don't wanna wake her up.

My allergies have been so bad.. thanks Carson.. argh.

[Haydee 2]

Not belated Heather! Today is my birthday!

Hope your move goes well. Any updates on your landlady situation?

[Haydee 2]

I was up till one last night! You should have called! I was full of sugar and couldn't sleep. We got home around eleven and then I put a load of laundry in and folded some towels that had been sitting in the dryer. Then watched some TV, and then around midnight decided to cut all my dogs bangs. I don't like them when they get too long and cover their eyes...

Finally drifted off around 130 am. I didn't want to get up this morning! Chilly mornings suck! I'm so warm snuggled with my sweetie and my alarm just kept ringing and ringing...

We slept in.. Carson is our alarm clock, he is up at 5/6 or 7.. so he got up at 7 and it was 62 degrees IN THE HOUSE. I ran to get him, came back and turned the heater on. Then NORMALLY he is up again by 8:45 and we get up for work. Today he didn't wake up again at all, we were all snuggled in bed with the heater going lol. I woke up at 10 and actually had to wake Carson up to go to work..oops. Guess I need to set an alarm clock during the cold months.

Happy Birthday Haydee!!

I have used vistaprint for my business cards and thank you cards -- I haven't had any problems with them. Did you look to see if they have any save the date items already?

I'm trying to not use the heat much, but geez when it is 60 inside the house, enough is enough. The cats were even huddled under the blankets.

Happy Birthday Haydee!!!

Love the idea of save the date magnets!!

Michelle, I hope everything turns out alright with your son, that is really scary!!!

I know I said I wasn't going to complain, but my head hurts!! OWW!!!

I think I am going to take a nap!!

Quick check-in to say: I am the world's worst bandster. Period. I just can't seem to do this anymore. And it's getting bad. So bad that my clothes are starting not to fit. Each day I start out all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and "on the wagon" and "today's a new day" and by 3pm I've caved into something... today it was a vat of nachos, then chocolate. I suck. Seriously. What is wrong with me? Why can't I do this? Ugh!

Good afternoon, Violets..

I had a nice nap today. Tomorrow I get Ethan, so it will be back to normal.

Haydee.. our flute quartet used 123print.com for our business cards. We were very pleased with our cards and they were extremely inexpensive! I think Save The Date magnets are a great idea.

I'm watching a show on Discover Health about people who lost a lot of weight. The first one was a lady who lost 135# with the lapband. Looks like it's getting as much acceptance now as the RNY. That's kewl.

The Bobster mowed the backyard and put all the shrub prunings away to burn. He figured he deserved to go golfing after that.. lol It's a beautiful Fall day here... 61 degrees and bright sunshine. The colors are at their peak and leaves are falling fast. The hot tub is at 102 and I get to start using it tonight!

Off to do a little laundry before rehearsal tonight. I get Grady for 45 minutes before I have to leave him with Bob until Kris and Nathan get back from working out.

Me too Michelle...the only reason I haven't put on 100 lbs is cause of the exercise...but that is shotty and not consistent. I need my MOUTH BANDED.

I hear ya Sista!! You notice how accountable I've been on our weekly weigh ins, right?? That's cause I don't want to weigh in and see the numbers. I can go several days and eat very well, but then something snaps and the ice cream and bakery goodies call to me. I got a letter today from my band doctor saying we need to come in for a visit.. it's been over a year since we've been there. It's a wake up call for sure.

I really, really, REALLY want to be at goal for Haydee's wedding. I need to concentrate on that and keep on keeping on.

I know, it's not that encouraging, but dang it, we're all going through it. It's my head that is the problem. Am I hungry between meals?? Not really. The only time I have the stomach grumblies is when I haven't eaten anything at all. I've skipped Breakfast a couple of times and don't feel hungry at all until my stomach tells me. My band is working.. I'm at the sweet spot.. I just need to re-educate my head. And that's a big problem.

I sure wish we all lived within walking distance of each other! We'd all be at goal by now.

My cousin was induced this morning, watching her husband tweet all day... lol.

Michelle, you have to get behind me. I am the worlds worst bandster!!

Good evening, Violets..

Wooo hooooo, good news!! ZUMBA starts a week from Thursday. Kris and I are definitely going! I'm excited.

Rehearsal went well. We have a new tenor sitting next to me. I know him from Facebook so it was good to talk to him in person. He is the son in law of a very good friend of ours.

Ethan comes in the morning, so I need to get to bed at a decent hour tonight. I did get a nap in today, so should be good to go. After CSI:Miami then it's reading time then zzzzzzzzzz.

Hope everyone has a great evening! sleep well..

[Teachlady 3]

Good morning, Violets..

Ethan doesn't come until noon today, but will spend the night. Both Joe and Jen are working until 10 tonight, so I just said to let Ethan sleep over and we'd take him home when he got up and around tomorrow.

I canceled going to my rehearsal tonight cause Bob has a visit with the family for a funeral tomorrow and I'll have Ethan.

Kris called last night and said Grady must not feel well cause he didn't take his night time bottle and he fell asleep before his normal bedtime. I'll call today and see how he's doing.

Hope everyone has a good day today. I'm off to find some breakfast even though I'm not the least bit hungry.
