Have a great trip Danielle. For some reason I thought you were leaving today.

 

[mandymouse]

WOO HOO! I should be here for sailaway!!!!

The author's breakfast was good!! The kids did a great job reading their stories and poems! I'll will post a few pics later!

Gotta run - off to work EARLY today!

Laurie

Have a good day at work Laurie I'm pleased that the 'author's breakfast' went well, and I look forward to seeing some piccies

Good morning ladies-

I was in bed last night at "gasp" 8 pm. I watched part of Bleak House and then called it a night. Not too much going on today, laundry, dishes, work.

Mandy hope you have fun w/ your mom.

Hi to everyone else, now I'm off to work.....

Hey Sandy, town with my mum was very uneventful I'm home now, and I've done my exercises again (which are a killer again - oh well, no pain, no gain )

My mum loved Bleak House, I think I bought the DVD for her for Christmas. She loves all the old period programmes

Have a good day at work

Good Morning everyone,

In one hour I can download our boading passes for tomorrow! I managed to get most of our stuff packed up last night after Brennan went to sleep.

We've been super busy with baseball each night and the kids playing with friends and swimming during the day. Tonight Keegan has a game so we probably won't get home until almost 9 again. At least the weather was not as humid and hot yesterday.

Sounds like everyone's doing well. Have a great day,
Danielle

Hi Danielle, does Brennan know you're going on a trip yet ? (I know he won't know where to yet). OMG, he is going to be so shocked when he finds out

Will you be back on here before you go ? If not, have a fantastic time and I look forward to hearing all about it when you get back

Thanks!

No, I have a long 24 hours ahead! This week has flown by but today each minute seems to be dragging! I have caught up with all my work so that's a relief. My only big thing to do this morning is to run to Kohls to see if I can find some strappy extra support for under my strappy tops. I had some specifically for these tops and put them somewhere out of the way I thought I'd remember and can't find them. Luckily Derek's on night work and can stay with the boys. I hate going to the undergarment section of stores with them. Brennan usually announces I'd look good in something crazy and Keegan just laughs at everything.

Morning Ladies,

Mandy,What else do you have planned for the rest of your day?

Laurie, Sorry you are at work today...try not to anwser that phone so eagerly....

Sandy, Bed at 8 ..wow..you thrill seeker..just kidding. Tomorrow i want to pay off the disney balance with you...woohoo..i am just waiting for a check to clear. I can't wait to pay disney and universal and be done worrying about it.

Danielle, I am so jealous...i wish we were heading off now instead of waiting a long 2 months...have fun.

Well i am off to the post office and town hall..ugh..my least favorite place then nicole gets out today at 11:30. I will check in later.

No, Brennan doesn't have a clue we are going. I can't wait to see his face. I wrote him a letter from "Mickey" he's going to get about 10 minutes from the airport. I have the suitcases packed in my closet and Derek will stuff them in the van tonight after baseball. Keegan's bags are still back there until after the game tonight.

I'll try and check in later this evening. I thought I was all caught up with work and just got some small assignments from my boss so I better run and get them done.

Morning Michele. I've got a quiet afternoon/evening ahead of me. Becky and her friend will be home soon, so after a quick snack, they'll be off to Youth Club, then after that, Kerry will be due home

The highlight of my evening will be watching Heroes, hopefully chatting with you all tonight while watching the Disney Wonder set sail

I hope the post office and town hall aren't too busy when you get there, and that you have a nice afternoon

Hi All!

At work - and NOT happy! Boss has been here since 9:30 - and NOT in a good mood! So, it's going to be a LONG LONG DAY!!!!

So, here is my lame attempt at catch up - forgive me in advance for anything or anyone that I've missed!!

Mandy - look at you w/the exercise!! WTG!!!! I am anxious to hear about your weigh in tomorrow!!! It should be a good one for you! I was looking into this 'fruit detox' diet - supposedly you can lose up to 10 pounds in 3 days! LOL

Sandy - I went to bed pretty early last night too!! I wanted to watch celebrity circus - I think it is on NBC - but, I fell asleep before that even came on! We are going to have to save our energy for the cruise! LOL

Michele - Eager on the phone - ME?? LOL Today is a bad day to be eager w/him!! I see you've added some new tickers - very nice! And your plants outside look great! My house is not fancy w/landscaping - I usually kill everything!!

Jen - I hope all is going well in Boston! Be sure to write when you can!!!!

Pam - I am the 'fun mom' too! All of the kids want to come to MY house and play - because I am such a blast! LOL You had to hear some of the stories/poems from the Author's breakfast - some of the boys wrote about the talent show and the trip - saying how much fun they had - I am famous in that class! LOL

Alright- enough from me for now!! Gotta get something done while he is here! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ugghh ! I hope your boss leaves soon Laurie, so you can get some peace at work

I'm not holding out for a weight loss tomorrow, to be honest I think I've reached as far as I can go, without starving myself. If I can now maintain my loss, but start toning up, then I'll be very happy

Wow, the 'fruit detox' sounds interesting - Good Luck if you start it, it's probably the kind of diet I could do for a short time, as I love fruit

Catch you later

I would love to see a piccie too

 

[xoxheather420oxo]

Well I bought the dress and it had a zipper back and I wanted a courset and it had straps I wanted changed as well so they pretty much took the dress and custmized it for me the back is georgeous, I do have some pics now but i am not happy with how the dress looks on me in them lol....

 

[mandymouse]

My friend Kaylee went to see JBJ last night and she's posted a couple of pics on the UK Community, here's the link http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1854399

The boss always has a hard time when my mother is away - so, it's expected, all has been so-so for the last week - but, today, he's on a downward spiral!!!!!

I will keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow!! You could surprise yourself!! How much have you lost?? Maintain and tone - that's a good thing.. SOMEDAY maybe I'll reach that goal! LOL

Well, the fruit detox is basically:

Day 1 - protein shakes every two hours till dinner. Dinner is 6 cups of salad w/a 6oz of lean protein.

Day 2 and 3 - fruit, fruit, fruit all day - dinner again, 6 cups of salad w/a protein shake..

The salad has to be raw veggies w/NO dressing. you can squeeze lemon or lime on it... not sure if that would be good for me! I MIGHT try this one... The article is in First magazine - oh, and the kicker for me is, if you decide to go beyond 3 days (not sure if I could) - but, you can snack on.......................... Get this one: Swedish Fish or Jelly Belly Jelly beans - SEE Michele - my fish are OK! LOL

My friend Kaylee went to see JBJ last night and she's posted a couple of pics on the UK Community, here's the link http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1854399

I saw the pics... OMG - LOVE him - looks like she had great seats!

Altogether I have lost 15 lbs, I would love to lose another 3 lbs, but I really can't see it happening - not that I'm disappointed, I think you all have kept me motivated as I haven't been this weight in about 5 years now - so thanks everyone

Mmm, the fruit detox sounds nice and do-able, are you going to give it a go ? Good Luck if you do

Glad you like the pics, I thought of you and Michele as soon as I saw them

Hi All

I have been lurking around and am now trying to recognize everyone.

A little about us Me Mary Ellen DH Jay, DS Kevin 8 ,DD Kayleigh 11.
We will be driving down from New York to WDW Aug 16 Plan to arrive Aug 18 to SSr for 3 days Then on to Embassy Suites for 3 days Then The Cruise and Drive back over 3 days visiting with friends and relatives on the way.

So Far I have learned That Heather is getting MARRIED!!! On the boat or on Castaway Cay?

Mandy you are the ring leader and doing a great job at losing weight. We all had a stomach virus here last week and I lost 5 pounds and now I am determined to keep it off!!!

A few of you have kids around the same age as my 2 so they will be seeing each other at the Lab. My son is very outgoing and is everybodies best friend
so he should do well making friends. My daughter is a little socially immature
and awkward around boys, so maybe some of your daughters can help her out.Pam I see your DDAlana is 11 also.

I will try to find out more about all of you but 200 pages is a lot to read so I will just pick it up as I go along

See you all soon.
Is there a meet planned for the first day? if so let me know
Thanks Mary Ellen
