2008, 24th/28th Aug - *Double Dipping with the Bahama Mamas*

[DVCLaurie05]

So - I went to WW.. and lost a BIG 1.2 - I am happy, but not happy, ya know! I was hoping for something better, especially w/all the effort I have put in this past week! So, I am down (since January) 12.8 - which seems like NOTHING I might add - and a BIG 23.8 since LAST January!! I wanted to go w/the this January total, but being I was still in the computer, they had my old total - which was quite the rude awakening when I got on the scale this Jan and she said - OH you gained a bit - UH YEAH - like 20 pounds... UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Anyway, I will keep plugging away .. I am going to hop on the treadmill this morning, it wasn't in my original plan for the morning, but - while I was at WW, my cousin (the one that lives across the street), she called to see if I can take the little one, he goes to kindergarten in the afternoon - because she has to take the middle one (the one that slept here the other night) for a chest x-ray .. UGH!! Hopefully he is ok - and hopefully whatever it might be doesn't spread this way!! SOOOOOOOOOOO - MY day to myself, has been stolen from me!! I had the kids home on Monday, worked Tues/Weds, DH is off tomorrow, so this way my day to do nothing ALONE, and that's been stomped on!!!!

Enough of my venting - have to get ready for my little buddy - I don't mind watching him - he is good, but wants to play in the basement on the PS2, and won't stay down there alone, so, at least that'll drag me down to the treadmill!

Mandy - that is SOOOOOOOOOOO cool!! Did you mail in a postcard or something for the sweepstakes?

We actually were 'awarded' dream fastpasses for AK when we were there in November. Nothing fabulous - but, better than nothing!!

Yes, I sent a postcard a couple of weeks ago. I used to send a postcard every week, but started to forget to write it. I probably send one once a month now.

We've never won anything in the Parks, how cool to win the dream fastpasses, that would make my day at any park

She's 6 minutes late...I sure hope she shows up. I'm trying hard not to sit by the windows waiting.

I hope your meeting goes well Danielle

Laurie, at least the scales are going in the right direction, hopefully you will have a bigger loss next week - keep up the good work, you're doing so well

Have fun with little visitor and I hope his brother is OK too

Do you have the address to send it? Maybe I'll try it too!! Do you send a blank type post card or what?

I have to tell you - I was thinking the dream fastpass would be something wonderful - a 'magical' kinda thing - right, we were walking up the ramp for some ride in dino-land - that roller coaster thing - (HATE it - and so does DH, so he didn't go) - anyway, we go up and there is a guy w/a bag - and hands them to us - that was it, and he handing it to most of the people on that line, so, it didn't seem so 'special' ya know - sometimes you read on allearsnet about the magical encounters w/the dream team - ours was not that way, and being DH didn't go on, he didn't get one - but, I asked the guy if I could get one for him, being he doesn't do well w/motion, and he said, ask when you get off the ride, there is someone at the exit also - SO - then, the ride breaks down - LOL But, we were able to get him one anyway....

Well, my little buddy is here - I am going to go on the treadmill - thanks for the encouragement - I definately can use it!!!

Be sure to post the pic of the FE when you get it!! I think I have a pic of the boys w/the dream passes, I'll see if I can find and post!!

Good Morning everyone!!!!
Welcome home Michele, I am sorry whale watching wasn't an awesome experience but girl I could have told you that last week BEFORE you actually went JK.

Danielle see I told you your life is exciting!! Secret agents and pledging your allegiance in your kitchen!!! Seriously, I hope it all goes well. I have a friend that just got a job at Lockheed Martin and getting her security clearance has been a pain.

Mandy- I love your new lanyard and pins. What an unexpected surprise!!!

Laurie- hey a loss is a loss. Keep it up you are doing GREAT!!!!!

 

[suzannef]

Sandy I can't believe you still don't have hot water. You seem to be taking it much better than I would

 

[DVCLaurie05]

Found it!!! WOO HOOO!

 

[nikkyluvsmickey]

Congrats mandy, I never win anything.
Laurie, I will take any lose that comes my way girl. It's definately better than a gain. Keep it up. soon i will be throwing things at you.
Thanks for the welcome back suzanne.
Sandy, I hope you get hot water today.

Hey Laurie, you can find out about it here http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/disneyparks/en_US/index?name=YOMD2GiveAwayLandingPage

Yes, I'll post a photo for you

Sandy I can't believe you still don't have hot water. You seem to be taking it much better than I would

I agree Suzanne, I'd be staying in a hotel until the insurance had it all sorted out, and I'd be doing a lot of yelling

Found it!!! WOO HOOO!

Great photo

Thanks - I am going to send it my entries!! I hope I win something! I'd be happy w/anything!! Do you do the postcard? It said you can put it on a piece of paper or postcard - so, would you put it on the paper and put it in an envelope - I would feel much better about that - not sure if I want all of my info out on a postcard, ya know?

 

[DVCLaurie05]

Laurie- hey a loss is a loss. Keep it up you are doing GREAT!!!!!

Thanks!! I guess I'll take what I can get, but it is so frustrating that I really worked hard this week, and to only lose a pound.. Hey does anyone watch the biggest loser? Those people lost a TON of weight this week... one guy lost 16 pounds, I can't do that in 2 months, let alone a week!!! UGH

SO - Suzanne - did you get to watch Tuesday night's Idol yet?? Any opinions on the girls last night?

Laurie - I just put my details on the back of a postcard - Good Luck, I hope you win something (if it's a Cruise will you take me ? )

OF COURSE!!! I wish I'd win a cruise - when we did that house party thing, you could actually win a cruise - and one of the girls on that board actually won one of them! So, it's nice to see that someone actually wins - ya know?

LOL - welcome to my world Michele

Sorry no pics of the Fish Extender tonight, Paul left it at work, so I'll post one tomorrow

 

[nikkyluvsmickey]

Nicole can be so vicious when she is mad. Sarah was being extremly annoying to her that day but i still don't like the mean comments.

 

[mandymouse]
