My jeans are getting tighter Trouble is I can't give up chocolate

My jeans are beyond tight. It's scary! My trouble is I can't give up food!

It's the salty snacks for me. Well, the Easter chocolate didn't help, either.

I got smart this year and didn't buy any chocolates! I'm starting my diet tomorrow for the umpteenth time in 3 months.

Okay Jo, I came, I saw....I thought "bloody hell this is a long one!!!" As promised over on Jenny's PTR I'll read all the way through but it may take me a few days Looks like a few more kindred spirits

Hi there! So is Jo pimping out our thread all over or what?

Hey all I called Disney Dining today and was able to get all of my ADR numbers. The CM was very friendly and I even got a "Have a Magical Day

Good Luck! There is no better day to start, like tomorrow.

She totally does! Jo, yet another M O.

I need help. I am so not creative so I need ideas for the LGMHPC's..Can you all post a pic of what you have done with yours

Thanks Jen. My new mantra: "Back away from the cookie jar!"

Honestly Janet all I did was buy some clear address labels and printed my DIS name on them (using Disney font, of course ) and then laminated them, punched a hole in the top and tied them with lime green ribbon. Quick, easy, and highly fashionable!

Ok, so I hit Target this afternoon and was quickly sucked into the $3 tank top section, only to be seduced by the $5 scooters! I got Mads a few tanks and scooters and tore myself from the kid clothing section.

I came home and went through Evan's drawers and boxed all the 3T stuff. Dneph "R" is home from Iraq for a few weeks and "J" and Baby "R" are now living in CA - so now I have someone to hand down clothes too!

I've been waiting for Disney Store to have the $4.99 tee shirt sale, but haven't heard anything, so I went online and they had quite a few. I ended up getting Maddie 1 Tink, 2 Giselle, 1 Princess, 1 Fairies tee and for Evan a Buzz tee all for $5 each and a $10 McQueen button down, with $5 shipping - KACHOWWWW!!! I scored baby!

Ladies, allow me to introduce you to V's New Diet Plan...

This isn't as off-topic as it sounds, as we'll be donning abthing suits in 4+ months...

The New and Improved V Diet consists of two things:
1. Spanx
2. A new view. For me, I've decided that I like food more than I do skinny jeans AND I like how I look in clothes a lot better with this extra 5ish pounds. I'm almost hour-glass shaped instead of pear shaped!

Of course, this could all be out the window when I first try a bathing suit. Fortunately, I just found this:

J. Crew baybeee!!!!!

Sorry - I managed to laminate a couple with my name on them 2+ years ago and that's it.

Know what I did this weekend? Bought $50 worth of party crap for Leo's Bday shindig and forgot to use my $10 off coupon. Then, I stocked up on Claritin and forgot to use the $2 off coupons I've been saving.

Ditto. Did the same darn thing. Purely a fashion statement, as it is repeated, and repeated.

In for $3 tanks, out with $100 of stuff, you never knew you needed. Am I right?

And it's in the green family. Nice.

Ouch! Will the store you shopped at let you get credit for the coupons after the fact? I know some are good about stuff like that.

Yeah, well if it was only 5 ish pounds, I'd be onboard!

Very cute! I confess I bought a new swimsuit that consists of board shorts and a halter styled bathing suit top. Yup, it's green, too!

OK, what in tarnation heack is a "scooter"??

Same thing as a skort - but for some reason they call them "scooters" when referring to little girls clothing - don't ask why.

OMG! I do the same exact thing - ALL THE TIME! I usually return with the coupon and they'll adjust my receipt - try it!

I walked out of there with a new bookcase, too. Darn you, Target!

Hi, your DD's are beautiful!

Fortunately, I just found this:

J. Crew baybeee!!!!!

That's cute!

Thanks, I had no idea either.

I walked out of there with a new bookcase, too. Darn you, Target!

I normally can't walk out without spending $80, but because I have a $10 off $50 coupon, the last two times I went my total came to right over $40.

 

[PrincessV]

Will the store you shopped at let you get credit for the coupons after the fact? I know some are good about stuff like that.

Sadly no - I tried.

Yeah, well if it was only 5 ish pounds, I'd be onboard!

Yeah well, the emphasis is on the "ish." Fuzzy Disney Dieting??

I believe Target has a $70 threshold - you can't get out the doors for anhything less. I managed toe scape with a $40 total, BUT I need to return an item... which will no doubt lead to another expenditure of $40 and I'll be at the $70 threshold in the end!

 

[Disneyolic]

A question for anybody who has flown JetBlue before, can you select your seats ahead of time or are they assigned when you check in?

Yes, you choose your seats ahead of time, at time of booking. However, starting (I believe) April 1st they are having a new charge policy where there will be extra room in the seats in the front of the plane and will cost approximately $10 more than those in the back. When we flew it did not cost extra but we did choose to have the extra leg room and it has the most leg room than any other airline we have flown (USAir, NorthWest, Delta, American).

Thanks DM. I'll probably be booking the flights sometime next week. Not sure we will pay for the extra leg room though as the flights are not to terribly long.

Hi, your DD's are beautiful!

Thank you so much At this present moment in time the youngest is in danger of being sold to the gypsies, she may look like an angel but as the song goes "she's the devil in disguise"

 

[DisneyJo]

She totally does! Jo, yet another M O.

M O?????

I soaked mine so the MH came off then stuck two together and laminated, I also was given some lovely ones from T

only to be seduced by the $5 scooters! I got Mads a few tanks and scooters and tore myself from the kid clothing section.

I thought scooters had 2 wheels and you rode them

2. A new view. For me, I've decided that I like food more than I do skinny jeans AND I like how I look in clothes a lot better with this extra 5ish pounds. I'm almost hour-glass shaped instead of pear shaped!

Great attitude And I haven't seen any swimsuits with skirts over here!

We went last weekend and left with $100 receipt in hand! They really know how to get you over there!!!

So on the planning front...I have almost narrowed down our dates. Turns out the time share our friend's parent's have in Orlando can be gotten for no less than a week at a time so it looks like I am going straight to Disney and then staying longer after Disney than we planned. I just wanna start pricing airfare!!

I found a Disney outlet store in Atlantic City this weekend, I never knew was there- and we spent about $30 and got 3 shirts!!!

 

[puggymom]

Hi Fockers, sorry I have been MIA, life just got crazy.

Yes, Target does have the threshold, except mine seems to $100

I ahve been looking at new swimsuits, but they are just so darn expensive!

OK, I have a great way to earn vacay $$$. Sell your old gold jewelry, you know those items from ex boyfriends/ hubands, etc. that you don't wear, or that pair of earrings where you lost one. I sold just a handful of old sutff and got over $200. Murph sold a bunch of old charms she hadn't worn in over 20 years from a couple of charm bracelets she had and got $1700

Are you kidding me? Who? What? Where? When? How????

 

[puggymom]

Gold prices are at a high right now, just go to any reputable jeweler

Wow - go Murph! (And Mo!)
