Ian is getting expanders and braces put on on 2/26. Today he goes to get his spacers.

Today I woke up with NO VOICE I'm sure DH is thrilled

Hope everyone has a great day

Expanders/Braces - OUCH!!! (both on the pocket and Ian's mouth!!) - how old is he? I am sure both of mine will need them, but nothing happening there yet... Braces have totally changed these days though - not the old fashioned silver-metal ones...

Man Sandy we are the sorriest bunch aren't we We all really need this cruise!!!!!!!

I am with you guys there - we really need to be on that boat NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mandy - thanks for the pics - they did brighten my day a little!!!! I think the real thing would be much better!

So, tell me about this photobucket - I just have to go to the site, up load the pics, then what? Copy and paste in the post, or is there a link or what? This way I can send a few pics ONE of these days!

Thanks Mandy-
Those made me smile

Thanks Sandy, the photo at Castaway Cay with my feet in, always makes me giggle

I was showing Brennan the birthday wishes posted, and he said they were great and thanks.

It's our pleasure, I hope he had a great birthday

The flu, strep and a stomach virus are still running rampant around here. Keegan and I have felt queasy since last night and I hope we aren't getting the stomach bug. We've all had flu shots, but with so many flu strains, a lot of people I know that had the shots have still gotten it. I am hoping to avoid it. The next 2 weeks we'll be in lots of crowds with wrestling championships coming up and I'm going to be making sure we wash our hands a ton and use hand sanitizer frequently.

Oh no Danielle, this flu is really doing the rounds, I hope you don't get it - take care

Nothing fun and exciting here - working today! I did get up at the crack and do my DVD though!! Plugging away on that - but, other than that - NOTHING!!! Sorry!! No brightness here!!!

I had hoped to have done my DVD a couple of times this week, but yesterday I was running around after the girls, and today Paul is in the way, oops I mean poorly so I haven't had a chance to do it yet

But you will be proud of me Laurie, I haven't eaten any chocolate, cookies, sweets or chips. I've been eating WW soup and WW Lasagne with brown bread. I'm hoping to have a couple of really good weeks, and all being well I may have lost a pound or two by the end of the week

Keep up the good work

Yes, it's really easy, well it must be, cos I figured it out by myself, and I'm not computer savvy

So register on photobucket, download your photos onto your computer, then on photobucket you will see 3 browse boxes. Above the browse boxes is an option for image size - I have mine set on 640x480 (then your photos don't appear too big). Next click on browse, and it will open a window to find your photos. Find your photo and click open, when you have opened the photos you want, click upload and in a few minutes your photos should be there

Click into the photo you want to view, and by your photo there will be 4 Urls (or addresses), right click on the bottom IMG code to copy the code and then paste it in your thread

I hope that's easy enough for you and I look forward to seeing your photos

Mandy - You go girl!!! I am sure you are doing great! I have to tell you, my weakness is not sweets, it is crunchy/salty things -pretzels, chips/FRENCH FRIES!!!!

It could be that you downloaded them at that size, check that yours is at 640x480

Your piccies look great, I hope I get to see them bigger

Here's another - this is from the Pirate and Princess Party - I am thinking they are coming out small because it isn't the original file, I downloaded to my computer here at work, but I think I did it from snapfish or something.. I will try more when I get home.. OR maybe I can get one of the wedding pics to work..

I am playing around w/this like I have NOTHING to do here at work! LOL

 

[DVCLaurie05]

WOO HOO - I did something!!! Sorry it's a repeat pic - Now I am playing around w/the site!

Thanks girls, I worked hard to lose weight before that trip, as we had 10 days in WDW before the Cruise. I'll be very happy if I lose that much again
