a princess and a pirate will enjoy disney to celebrate their 5 year anniversary:)

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

thanks so much i love New york & Co!! you should check it out for sure!! also thanks for all of your suggestion-- too bad i did not have a successful shopping trip last night I went to AE for the dresses-- and they did not have the ones i wanted and the ones they did have they did not have in my size, and the shirt from NY & CO they did not have it in the store-- but i will just order that one online. I am going to try another American Eagle today to see if i can find those dresses. I did also find one i liked at NY & Co yesterday-- but it was black and white-- and i wanted one with a little color-- but its a back up plan dress-- i am so picky when it comes to clothes shopping!! I also want to find a jean skirt-- that i can wear with a cute tank top-- but it looks like this is also like finding a needle in a haystack!! LOL sorry is so tough sometimes!!! All i want is cute disney clothes LOL but i keep striking out-- lol oh well lets hope i have luck later today- we are supposed to get a pretty bad storm in the pittsburgh area today- so its a good shopping day-- since its overcast and will be rainy!!

Ugh doesn't that always happen. When you're looking for something you can never find it but when you're not they're all over the place!! Well I hope you find what you're looking for!! I love Kohls, it's where I get most of my stuff, they have such cute things!! Maybe you could look there for some cute stuff, I'm thinkin of hitting it up for a few more pairs of shorts, they should have some sales not cause it's the middle of summer and it's time for fall clothes!! (Can you sense the sarcasm there?) It's overcast and rainy here too so definitely a good shopping day! Good luck shopping!!

on sept 17th i think we are going to start out with a small breakfast at the resort-- and head down to downtown disney-- for some shopping. I think i want to try either Wolfgangs pucks express for lunch--- or earls-- I love earks-- but never had wolfgangs before. After spending some time at DTD-- i think we will go back and get ready for our anniversary dinner at Narcoossee's Our actually anniversary is Sept 18th-- but we are also traveling with my mom and her friends-- and we are all going to Le Cellier the next day-- DH wanted to eat at Le Cellier for our anniversary-- but we wanted to go someplace fancy and alone also so thats why Narcoossees will be on the 17th. Does anyone know if they will do anything special for us being that its our anniversary celebration?? I have heard different things like free campagne-- micky confetti on the table-- I let disney dinning know that it will be our anniversary-- so we will see i guess-- Also i still want to order this cake-- but might wait to have it delivered to Le Cellier the next day-- for our actual anniversary-- or maybe not a cake at all? I am having a alot of trouble on this decision-- do not want to waste the cake-- but would love to have one!! Anyone know if i can get a really small one? And what the best place to order this from? Come on lurkers i know someone can help me out lol

we have our dinner ressie at 6 so we will either hang out at grand floridan for awhile after dinner and watch wishes from the beach-- or we will hop back to magic kingdom and watch the fireworks from the park, I guess depending on how long dinner takes--

well i am going back out of my shopping quest WISH ME LUCK!!! up next some ideas for the binders that i want to make for my trip

Sorry can't help you with the cake thing, I've never ordered one before but you should ask on the restaurant board, they may be able to help you a little better or at least direct you to the correct website. You could have the cake delievered to LeCellier and then you'd have your mom and her friends help you eat it so it wouldn't go to waste! I would get a cake, hey why not it is you anniversary! You'll probably get confetti on your table but I'm not sure what else, these Disney people can surprise you!! I think I read on someone's TR that they got free champagne on their anniversary, so that's a possibility!! Don't worry too much about it, it'll be a surprise and hey if nothing else you're celebrating your anniversary together and you're at Disney!!

the veggie pizza is really good also and is only 6 points!! I would also recommend the gourmet mushroom also mmm!!! they are so soo good!!!

HI!! Still loving everything in your PTR!! I also love all your healthy meals ideas!! I need to tighten up...I'm going to MNSSHP as Tinkerbell and her dress is not very flattering unless you are in peak physical condition. I've been eating healthier but need the exercise to tighten things post baby...and well...knowing me, I'll probably just get one of those uber sexy spandex body flattening control outfits. Do you know what I'm talking about? They're hot!!

[deslynnpatterson]

This is going to sound so funny and i can't believe i am posting this-- but oh well LOL!!! One of the first stuffed animals Josh got me I take on all my disney trips with me LOL!!!! It starting on our honeymoon-- and I take " beddy" LOL thats what i call her, with me on all our disney trips-- well last year i came back to the resort to a picture of this:

LOL and mousekeeping put the TV on in our rooms too like beddy was watching TV-- it was soo cute i had to take a picture of it!! I told my DH that mousekeeping probably though a kid was staying in our room LOL!! It was too cute!!!


also i wanted to post a little comparsion with my weight loss-- the first pic is from the resort room-- you can actually see the weather channel on the pic on the TV First pic was last sept--- with hair curley

Second picture was from Jan so 4 in a half months later-- me with straight hair-- I don't have a full body comparsion yet-- but i guess you can tell in the face??

please ignore the funny look on my face i dunno what the heck i am doing LOL!!!!

and now i am prob 20-25 pounds thinner than the first picture-- i really need to get my new digital camera hooked up and out of the box LOL!! and a full body shot thats recent-- this is all from weight watchers-- and those of you just joining my PTR i try to post healthy meal ideas daily-- on some of the things that i eat Just wanted to Post this real quick-- up next-- updates on my shopping trip from this past weekend

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

OMG, you look great!! Congrats to you for being so determined and losing that weight!!

 

[deslynnpatterson]

so ... i was not impressed with too much this weekend in the aspect of shopping but that could do also with i had a lot going on i was rushed. I tryed NY &CO and AE, with no luck-- I think this weekend I am going to try forever 21..... and see what they have However, I did go to TJMAX-- and i scooped up on a adorable pair of pjs--- for $9.99 They are perfect for disney they are a tank top with little shorty bottoms that is like a babydoll top and has colorful stripes I would take a pic but i am still figuring out my new camera hopefully i will be able to scoop up on some other things this weekend

so for the healty meal idea for the day: How about a healthy option to grilled cheese? To make mine i take 2 slice on light wheat bread, 2 slices of 2% cheese, and spray butter-- I put the grilled cheese together and put spray butter on each tops of the bread and put in a pan-- this is a delcious 3 point grilled cheese.. and i have this with a cup on tomato soup which is 2-3 points depending on the brand-- its delicious!! and satisfies the grilled cheese craving

hmm-- now i have to go back and figure out what day i left off on-- I think next up is Sept 18th our anniversary and Le Cellier but let me double check on that before i continue

 

[deslynnpatterson]

OMG, you look great!! Congrats to you for being so determined and losing that weight!!

aww thanks so much its hard to tell with just a face picture-- but you can kinda get the idea-- its a everyday work in process and has become a lifestyle change-- i even have the hubby eating healthy-- and his clothes keep getting bigger on him too

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Haha, hey you guys are getting healthy and that's great!! You know how to eat right now and that will help you out in the long run!! Now could you come to my house and make all of that food to me!! I need someone to tell me to put down that junk!!

Congrats on the weight loss . I lost 43lbs from September to April and kinda fell off my diet. I gained 8 lbs back, but I started again last Tuesday and so far I have lost 3 lbs. I want to lose another 30lbs. I want to be at least 15 lbs lighter before we head to Disney in September.

 

[princess_momma]

wow congrats on your weight loss also!! 43 pounds!! thats such a acomplishment!!! What do you do to losee weight? do you do weight watchers? or just count calories? I am also curious what diet other people find success on I am also trying to losee about 15 more before disney in sept also! We can help encourage each other keep up the good work!!

 

[deslynnpatterson]

our flight time have changed once again!!! I want to scream!!! UGH!! When i booked the flight in April it was supposed to leave at 4:00pm and get us to disney around 6:15-- now all the sudden it changed to leaving at 5:49 arriving to orlando 8:06-- now i check today and our flight doesnt leave Pittsburgh till 6:06pm and we don't get to orlando till 8:19pm now!! come on already!! why are you trying to keep me away from the world?? I am going to try to talk to the DH tonight to see if he can get out of work realy early that day-- and we can take the 11:35am flight-- because the email that i received from airtran said if this flight time does not work contact us!! So as long as it works for him, my mom, and her best friend-- then we might be changing-- man do i hope this works out!!! you just gotta love airlines!!! oh well but at least i am getting there right?
