Before I go....on the pop tart topic. I love them...but only chocolate frosted!!!! YUMMY!!!! I never buy them because I can't resist!!

When I was a kid, it was frosted (sorry health nuts) strawberry, and a glass of chocolate milk!

Sorry I missed chat last night but I went to workout and then DH jumped on the computer and logged into chat.

And we were ready to call 911!

(but we figured if Aaron was there you must be OK)

However I am afraid I am going to be sick the first few days. I have noticed that when my body gets adjusted to the WW way of eating not only can I not eat nearly as much without feeling sick but if I overinduldge (especially in higher fat foods) I pay a serious price for the next 24 hours or so.

I think you need to visit some buffets on the 5, 6, 7, and 8 of December!

[Jhalkias]

Never thought about that!!! I still don't have a tag either!

Don't worry about that Brandi, it only took me about five years to get one, and then I didn't even know I had it!

Well, right now your self-control is probably based on the fact that you have dial up! How long is it taking for that one song? I don't know if you can burn through that money that fast on dial up - if you had a video iPod and it was a movie, your kids might be grown before you had it!

But once you get broadband - LOOK OUT!

I blew through $50 on ALLOFMP3 in no time ..... but I did get a bunch of great songs!

 

[elaineteresa]

Love the Blue's Clues cake Lisa!

I need to decide on Allie's birthday theme soon. Here birthday is so soon after Christmas that if I don't think about it in advance I never had enough time. I am thinking about doing a Mickey theme for her (I did Mickey for DS's 1st birthday) or maybe Little Mermaid.

I have this problem too because the kids are born on the 10th of January. It means it all has to be done before the holidays. I usually have their party later in the month. I just can't face it right after New Year's and then the next weekend is MLK 3 day weekend. We usually go to WDW in Jan. as well.

Maybe one more year and they will have those nice quiet parties with only 4 or 5 friends - right?

Jaea decided on a penguin theme for their joint ice skating birthday party. They just watched March of the Penguins and she thinks penguins are wintery.

Brack,

Is that the site that sells for like 10 cents a song? I have heard it is hosted in Russia, and the Music industry is trying to shut it down for piracy .

What are you going to do? Hand the server a menu that has been personalized at the first dinner?

I actually think the food will be the least interesting part of the cruise. Am I wrong? I would rather have time to do everything else. See, first time cruiser.

Happy afternoon!
(Had to try for the mini and had nothing to say!)

Way to sneak in a there.

 

[elaineteresa]

Not a spreadsheet but more of a mental list...go ahead test me...I know them all!

I have also reviewed them pretty carefully so I could pick which menu to skip so that we could make Palo reservations. I was happy to discover that not that much of the food choices really interested me. I like ethnic food and most of the menus are continental. This shouldn't really elate me but I was thinking of all those calories I was going to save. LOL.

I love looking at menus and recipes too - they are fun. A foodies' spreadsheet.

 

[elaineteresa]

I ran across a picture of the cake I made when DS turned 2. You guys wll probably consider this crafty too, right?

Becka looks pretty accomplished at whatever she does - love that bulletin board too.

Revoke her anti-craft privileges.

 

[elaineteresa]

I checked my hot stone massage and originally I had 2:00 - 3:30 and now it is 2:00 - 3:15. It is supposed to be a 75 minute massage so it looks like that will be cut into now.

I was confused by this also but I assumed the extra time was for dressing/undressing and checking into the spa or whatever you do.

[elaineteresa]

Does anyone know what Kelli is doing tonite?

 

[elaineteresa]

I have had those too. I like any of them that are chocolatey...but the chocolate with chocolate icing are the best!

I can't eat them anymore - they are just so sugary. I only like the cinnamon icing ones.

 

[elaineteresa]

Your Dh energetic? I never would have guessed.

Now Caroline - at least you don't have to live with him. LOL.

Meeting your hubby and Carla's hubby might be the most interesting part of the cruise. Will they join in the wine tasting?

 

[Jhalkias]

Well,

Hate to leave you on your own Elaine, but I am off to bed. I went to a HS Football playoff game tonight, and it was very exciting, and very cold. Our HS team came from behind after giving up 21 unanswered points to win. The other team had a chance to score and tie with 11 seconds left, on fourth down from the 12, but could not do it! We won, 28-21 by the skin of our teeth!

Good night!

Hi there everyone. Just dropping in to say hello! I had another busy week, with late shifts. (Heavy SIgh!) And now I am behind again! Yikes!!!


Hey Brack! Are you bringing all of that music along for the cruise? I can't get my Pocket Tunes to work on my cell phone. RATS!!! Maybe by cruise time I can get it straightened out. The Ipod thing is starting to look real good. DGS says that the Ipod can store all of my 220 some odd CD's. WOW!

 

[DrHug]

Becka, That cake looked mighty good to me. Yummy.

 

[elaineteresa]

Becka, I love that you used the huge T-square, lol.

Pj

you can tell Becka is a math girl - very precise. This will be a cute family picture for Nathan to save. You should add it to his poster.

so where are the cabin door pics?

 

[DrHug]

I have my old LogiTech keyboard hooked up to my laptop and it works GREAT!!!! Wow. I am much faster than with the laptop keyboard. Now why didn't I think of this sooner? DUH????
