[mdrai 3]

Judy... the game wasn't broadcast here! I even had my camera ready to take a pic of the screen w/you guys on it!! Wah. Hope your team won!

Heather... Where will you be travelling? When we travelled on planes w/babes, kindly fellow passengers would play w/them & help keep them entertained...

Everyone have a safe evening... see you next year!

Terrible game... they've lost 9 in a row now. We had a good time though. Great seats and great family get together. We're in a hotel now watching the New Year come in on the tv and then heading to bed. Shopping tomorrow and then home.

Happy New Years, my lovely Violets!!!

Hi everyone

Wanted to stop in and wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thank you for the cards and holiday wishes. Things have been so crazy I didn't get cards out for the first time in 20 years.

I went back to work a couple weeks ago so going to start the new year off right

God bless

Jennifer

Happy 2010, my true Violets!

Chai and I are snuggled up on the couch, enjoying the Tournament of Roses parade... the floats are always just amazing!

I managed to lose 5 of my holiday lbs by the end of the year... now on to the new year! Positive thoughts and actions will lead to success!

Here's to a positive-attitude 2010 for each of us!

Happy New Year!

KC and the Sunshine was FANTASTIC! We had a fun fun night. The dinner was shrimp cocktail (appetiser), salad, filet minjon(not spelled right) that you could cut w/ a butter knife, lobster, and a KICK ASS cheesecake drizzled in liquid fudge choc..omg that was good.

KC was wonderful...he is 58 and is quite an entertainer. It was a really great show.

Wishing everyone a healthy New Year w/ peace and love in your life!

Good to see you Jen...Happy New Year!

xoxoxo

Think we are going to see Nine today...maybe! I wouldn't mind couch surfing all day!

Hello!!

Great for you Michelle!!!!!!!!!!

You girls have great determination!!!!

Maybe going to the casino tonight? I am trying to decide if that is what I want to spend my money on. Plus it is really COLD here!!

by the way Michelle, I like your new avatar!

[kity 2]

Michelle, how did you lose the 5? Could it be that you followed the rules, ate less and moved more? Say it ain't so!! One rule I have been following is no drinking. Now, I just need to remember not to order the diet coke or ice tea. Good for you...but seriously, whatcha do in the last few days?

[mdrai 3]

Thank you! It's just been eating properly so far... funny that when I'm not consuming sugary holiday goodies the weight drops, huh? But I still need to add in the moving part. Pam, I think that you & I together make a whole bandster: I've got the eating down & you've got the exercising! :biggrin:

I chose that avatar to remind me that I'll be going to Mexico in 2 weeks so I HAVE to keep on the wagon! Plus, it's just nice to look @ in this cold, snowy winter.

Would folks like to share NY's resolutions?

I'll start... even tho it's a biggie... & I'll need ya'lls help:

ONEDERLAND by Haydee's wedding; GOAL by the end of the year!

Plus living as balanced, positive a life as possible...

...Is it 2011 yet? :tongue2:

[mdrai 3]

Janie! Go have some fun @ the casino!

I don't make new years resolutions, I never stick to them and just get mad.

Okay this year I will make my New Years resolution not to drink with meals. Even though I drink black coffee and Water, I know that is the most powerful rule to follow!! I have always been a big drinker, never liked soda or anything caloric, don't like sugar added to my drinks, so that is good. I just need to stop drinking with my meals!

Charlie hasn't called me back about going tonight. It is so weird because normally I wouldn't do anything much on Friday night because I had to work Saturday, but I AM OFF TOMORROW!

I am piddling and putzing today, I am not going to sweep though, somebody told me it is unlucky to sweep on New Years Day, you sweep all your luck away for the year.

Charlie just called and I think we are going to the casino on Sunday, which is fine with me. We are taking his neighbor whose husband died year and a half ago, she is my age, and we have fun when we go out.

Okay I am really rambling, maybe that should be my New Years Resolution, no more rambling?!?!?!?!?

Hey girls~

Woke up this am feeling great! Took Klausy for a walk, took down xmas stuff, cleaned up (me, cleaned...I know!), then took a nap! OMG...someone bring me food. I am TIRED, CRANKY...and there is NOTHING to eat. I was gonna shop and make us something good...but I now don't wanna. Don't wanna shop, and sure as hell don't wanna cook!

Watching Half Ton Mom (need to eat a salad). We watched Lock up all day...good New Years wholesome show!

OK...off to bug her about going to get food somewhere!

[kity 2]

pizza and salad on its way...i know I suck...but I am hungry, cranky and tired! Have a great night...I'll be at the gym early

[Teachlady 3]

Good evening, Violets.

We are finally home and had a great trip. Pistons sucked, but the rest of the time was great. Kris and I shopped Great Lakes Crossings mall for 3 hours. I got some new knives and Soup spoons, some Moonlight Path stuff and some slacks for Ethan.

I have eaten extremely well for a week now. Bob bought cream puffs for last night's snacking and I ate zero. We usually go to Rocky Mountain chocolate Factory at the mall and get some chocolate and cookies.. but I got... zero. We went to Joe's Crab Shack and I split a meal with Bob and for dessert... zero. For Breakfast this morning I had some scrambled egg, 1/2 a sausage and some yogurt. As for pastries... zero. Are you seeing a pattern here? I am really, really trying to eat the bandster way. Michelle, I am with you. Goal this year for sure, and hopefully for me by Haydee's wedding date.

Going to check messages and then read some more on the Kindle. I finished the Patrick Swayze book. It was a very quick read and very interesting too.

Everyone have a great evening. sleep well.

I leave for Mexico in 6 days!!!!!

Oh my gosh!!! I just got done watching My Sisters Keeper! I seriously haven't cried this much in a long time. Can't even call anybody because I am still such a mess!!

Judy good going on the eating!!! That is great!!

Well off for some more piddling and more blowing my nose I am sure!!!
