Shrinking Violets - Part 5!

Hey Girls~

A day of pjs, no brainer tv, and getting some (not all) grading done helped. I slept tons...which is what I needed! I worked out this morning, did 33 min on eliptical. OMG I was dying!!! The usual 30 kicked my ass...but went more. I hate that damn machine...but LOVE how good I feel after that workout.

Going to the mall today to buy an outfit for the weddings! Then, going to the Veteran's Day parade...then dinner after the parade w/ friends!

Have a great day. Kiss a vet today. Well, maybe just high five one...I'll do the kissing!

Jane, no you can't get a pap when you are on TOM. I one time was on the table, started the exam, and the doc said, oooo you just started your period. NICE HUH???

Make it a great day!

Judy, Can I see the letter you drafted? I want to count the bad words. :tongue_smilie:

ohhh Jane, i'm glad you didn't start. That would have sucked...

what a gorgeous day it is here today. I wish i was outside! perfect day for taking a walk through the woods. might go do that this weekend...

Laura - that sounds fantastic, meeting up with friends once a week. Wish I was closer so we could do the same with ya'll!

Pamela - wait, did i miss something? are you out sick? is it the flu? hope you get to feeling better!!

Janey - I'll pray to God for you! I don't usually pray for something specific, what I will pray for is that your quality of life doesn't diminish but instead improve.

Michelle - I'm glad you were able to get that extra little job. Yay for you... or is it?? he he he... It's money, right?

More and more work on the agenda for today. I'll be so glad to be done with this tomorrow morning when we meet with the bank. Then i'll be able to breathe and do some fun wedding stuff!

I know, I wish we could get together regularly :tongue_smilie:

Hey Judy, we can't decide where to go for lunch, was wondering if you can ask your retreat guy if God could tell him where we need to go???

ah ha ha ha ha... cute cute... What did he say Laura?

Good afternoon, Violets..

Got my puter back!!! We have to order a hard drive next month. arghhhh Dell uses a cheapo one in this model, I guess.

We worked in the backyard and garage all day today and then I took a 45 minute bike ride. Off to choir rehearsal in a few minutes. I got the draft done for the report to the Board about the retreat. It ain't pretty!! But no, PamELa.. I didn't use any profanities. But I sure was thinking them!

And today at church, my friend said that the pastor didn't say one word about the retreat.. not even a good morning to the staff. He is so totally clueless. I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is. But I know this is the beginning of the end. If he stays, I go.

Off to direct the choir and then out to dinner with them. At least there are still some bright spots about church.

Everyone have a great evening. Glee and Modern Family tonight!!

Oh, and Laura.. God put me on hold, so I couldn't get an answer for ya..

I couldn't get onto the site earlier... odd...

Anyhoo... a very nice, quiet day between work storms... met a friend for coffee this a.m.... then putzed around here @ home... then picked up DS @ school & took him to DD's after-school jazz band rehearsal so he could help out... so during that hour or so I went to Sbux, sipped a latte, sat in a comfy chair, knit, and people watched -- what a relaxing treat! DH returns from FL tonight...

(Why do I think Pammie's going to do more than simply "kiss" a vet? :biggrin: Hi Susanne!!)

Enjoy your eves...

Good evening, Violets..

Got a lot done today and choir went very well. We are redoing a Christmas Cantata this year. Only problem is, we don't have any kids to do the tableau we usually do.. Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Kings, Wisemen, Angels. We can't do any of that because we don't have any kids anymore. So sad.. We'll just have to figure out some different way to portray the Christmas message.

Had supper with several choir members. Discussion revolved around the letter I wrote and to which the other staff added their thoughts. Things are going to start happening pretty soon.

Glee was so awesome tonight. I didn't get to see all of it.. just the last half hour, but it was just fantastic. I LOVE the song Defying Gravity and they did it so well. And the story line about the developmentally disabled people was touching. LOVE that show!! No Modern Family because of the CMA's.

Watching CSI:NY and then heading to Walmart to use my coupons from Ebay.

Ethan arrives at 8 tomorrow morning and I have Zumba in the evening. Going to take my Tylenol and put on my brace and have fun!!!

Everyone have a good evening.. sleep well!

Janie.. you ok?????

Teachlady · November 12, 2009

Good morning, Violets..

Ethan has arrived and my day is planned. Going to work out in the backyard and suck up the renegade leaves. (well, I'm not, the mulcher vacuum is) Then Zumba tonight. In between will be laundry and working on the document to present to the church board. happy, happy, joy, joy.

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

Good morning!!

I am fine, just really tired!! I got this new bi-pap machine and it has an alarm on it. It goes off about every 15 or 20 minutes!! That is the problem in a nutshell. It also has to do with a new mask etc.....

I ALMOST turned my heat on last night!! It is cold in here!!! It is 36 outside, but remeber I live on the third floor and everyone else heat makes me warm!!

I hope all is doing well!!!! Judy be nice to your knee!!

Hello everyone . . . it is a beautiful fall day here. I hope we are going to have a mild winter.

OK , , , I must admit, my first fill didn't hardly do squat. I can pb on mini-wheats in the morning but can eat a horse with plenty of bread and rice on the side for dinner. I am definitely going in for fill #2 at the end of this month. I am completely healed and healthy again, but started to be an oinker at dinner time so I need to work on that.

I also realized that making the dishes my dh loves and I hate helps with dieting. Last night I made something called kuru fasulye which is lamb seared in olive oil to brown it and then slow cooked in navy Beans with lots of onion, Tomato, garlic, peppers and some tomato and pepper paste thrown in with salad and rice pilaf on the side.

While it sounds pretty good, I abhor any white beans like navy, butter, etc. My dh detests beans that are brown like navy, black beans, pinto, etc. He won't touch chili. The only place where we meet in the middle is chickpeas and greenbeans. What a fine couple we make, lol.
