Beth's Journal-Bring It!

[Tera]

Hey Beth -

Sorry to hear about Katie and her allergies. I've been eating cherries like crazy. I hope she feels better soon.

Don't worry about being off program, we've all been there. You just have to re-focuse yourself and get right back on it. I hope your able to get to the Y and get you exercise in. I know how it can throw your whole program when you don't get your workouts in.

Katie is doing much better tonight. She just would not sleep. There are definate downsides to the long days of summer.

Well, I did all the shopping and cleaned the bathroom. Won invited people over for Saturday. Thanks Won. The house is a pit.

Katie is going to my parents for the rest of the week. Thsy will return her Saturday morning. I should be able to get things together for Saturday. We may even go to a movie one night. Shocking.

I managed to stya OP, but I did have a bowl of SBD cereal in addition to what I had planned. Still better than the weekend.

Not sure about plans for tomorrow. I am playing it by ear. I am meeting my parents in Ann Arbor at 1130. We'll do lunch. Beyond that, cleaning.

Found out that they switched our neighborhood to PM kindergarten this year. Ugh. We did get the teacher we anted though. The PM session does mean that Katie will miss 7 schooldays for the WDW trip. I am not too worried. She is reading, can count to 100, and is doing really well with addition and starting subtraction.

Ok, I am desperate for sleep.

Later,
Beth

Good morning Beth,

I hope Katie is feeling better today. Is she excited to be spending time with Grandma and Grandpa?

I hope you had a chance to get some peaceful rest last night.

Have a great day, Beth!

Oh my goodness! Girl I don't know how you handle all the drama in your life. You are my hero. I'm glad Katie is feeling better! Poor baby!

I hope you get a quite and restful sleep.

Beth, I'm so glad Katie is feeling better after the "cherry incident." Maybe you should make up 3x5 cards with all the foods she shouldn't eat and make Won keep one in his wallet, give one out to camp counselors, etc.

You should be getting some quality cleaning time in while Katie is getting some quality grandparent attention the next couple days. Make time for naps and for time to just sit and read and for whatever other guilty pleasures you don't normally have time for.

Best wishes for getting everything ready for Saturday. DH knows that if HE invites people over without asking me first, HE will be the one doing the cleaning! Give Won a list of chores and errands, girlfriend!!

I hope you have a day with no drama, just peace and quiet and calmness.

Oh my, Beth--what you go through!!! I'm glad your sweetie is feeling better AND I'm glad you're going to have a couple of days to yourself. I know that cleaning isn't necessarily a treat, but sometimes it's just nice to do things quietly, in your own time, you know what I mean? I'm with Doreen, though. Naps are a good thing!

Take care,
Erin

Geez Beth! Hope you got that sleep caught up. Sounds like maybe Friday night might be a good night for wine and dinner and candlelight!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Beth!

How are you doing today? I hope today is a wonderful day for you! I meant to ask you... are you done planning your WDW vacation and what did you decide to do about the hotel?

Take care!

Hi Everyone,

Won and I went to Rainforest Cafe for dinner last night, and then went to see War of the World. I had the buffalo chicken salad, not strict lc, but better than pasta and the volcano dessert. The movie was OK. I never jumped out of my seat. It was more a tension throughout it. I also had a good night's sleep, but I'm planning a nap. No exercise because I have a HUGE blister on the ball of my foot. I shouldn't hav worn my heels last night. I've clened the kitchen and bathroom this morning. Working on laundry. I am taking Pez for his obedience class tonight. Orkin is coming tomorrow.

Tracy, the group rate ws extended to include POFQ,so that i where we'll be. Of course, if Swan/Dolphin continue $99 for nurses, I'm there.

I am just sick about what happened in London. My cousin is there right now on vacation. I found out shee is ok.

Need to get some lunch, then back to work.
Beth

Hey Beth - I'm glad you and Won got to go out and enjoy yourself. Me and my DH went out last night too. We went to see Bewitched, but I know DH wanted to see War of the Worlds. I haven't heard many good things about it.

Sounds like you still made good choices, even it wasn't completely low cal.

I hope your blister feels better soon

 

[DoeWDW]

OUCH! Blisters are so painful. I hope it's feeling better soon. What we women do in the name of beauty amazes me. I AM glad that you and Won had a nice date night. Couple time is so important.

So how did Pez do at obediance class?? I bet all the puppers were so cute!

Best wishes for a calm and peaceful day!

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Beth! How is your blister? You have my sympathies -- my feet are a bloody mess from walking about 40 blocks in NY on Wednesday in "cute shoes". Geez, the things we do!

So, how are you faring without Katie? You'll see her tomorrow, right? I hope you have a wonderful day and a fabulous weekend. Don't work too hard!

 

[lulu201]

Good morning, Beth. Sounds like you and Won had a nice night out. I totally agree about War of the Worlds--tension throughout. I was tuckered out by the time the movie was over from just being on the edge of my seat for that long!

Have a good weekend and take care of that blister.

Love,
Erin

Hi All,

Sorry I have been MIA. Thursday passed in bit of a blur. I did take Pez to his obedience class, and it was a ton of fun. The instructor is completely into it, and very nice, but she talks in a baby voice. Think Katie Holmes without being cute, and drives me crazy. It is one thing to do the voice to the dogs, but to the adult owners? Oh well, if she can help train Pez, I'll deal with it.

Yesterday, Orkin stood me up. I hung around for 4 hours, and they didn't show. I called, and the only person in the office was a receptionist. Gee, I'm really sorry about that. Monday the manager is supposed to call me. I am very angry about this. This is the 2nd time I have been stood up. Once, ok, it was a mistake. Twice, that is crappy customer service.

Won and I took advantage of being child free. We went to dinner and another movie. Before this week, the last movie I saw was Harry Potter POA. We saw Fantastic Four. We enjoyed it. It really has the feel of the book. You can totally tell they are setting up for a series of films. They had a ton of background info. All in all, a B.

Katie comes home ths afternoon, and we have friends coming over for dinner. John and Liza are heading to WDW in November, and they want info. Everyone knows I am Disney obsessed, but I think they ar in for a shock. I have made index cards with reccomended counter service restaurants in each park. Summary of all the Clubs of PI, and Boardwalk restuarant/club. I also did a mini-FAQ on their resort. It should be amusing to see their reaction.

Ok, I need to go make dessert for tonight.
Take care,
Beth

Won and I went out to dinner and another movie last night.

Hi Beth!

What a nice thing to do for your friends! I bet they will be surprised and very thankful for all of the great information!

Have a great day today!

 

[R_Judy]

Aha - I knew you two would find some quality time together! And a movie to boot!! Very cool. Can't wait to hear your dinner party story tomorrow.

 

[DoeWDW]

Sounds like you and Won have really been enjoying your time together!

Your dinner party sounds like fun! Everyone in my life knows I'm Disney-obsessed too! I usually make a list of rides at each park that their child / children will enjoy and the ones that may be too intense. Isn't it fun to give them some extra information and know that they will enjoy their trip more because they have a clue! It is very sweet of you to help them with their trip AND make them dinner!

Enjoy your day and I'm sure you'll enjoy welcoming Katie home!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

sounds like you are having a great night!! hope you enjoy the disney talk!!

 

[R_Judy]

Oh Beth ................ where are you??????

 

[DoeWDW]

Dear Beth, I hope all is well.
