I think it is nerves, stress, and PMS, but my stomach feels all out of whack. Hoping when I see the castle in the morning, all will suddenly melt away.
for about 12 hours! My last BIG post before leaving. You know my tendency to ramble, so hang on!
Last load of laundry is in the dryer - not to take, just b/c I can't stand to leave dirty clothes. Downstairs needs a bit more decluttering, DH will vacuum later. Going to try to hit the floors with a mop, we'll see. Car is loaded except for all the last minute stuff. Gotta finish getting the trash up. DH went to bed at 4, so he'll sleep most of the day. After I finish my coffee, I'll run the dishwasher.
I have officially STOPPED worrying about weight loss for the moment. PMS has me all messed up, I have CRAZY water retention, but I need to take it easy on the water today so we don't have to stop every 5 minutes for me to potty tonight. I already posted my eating plan for WDW, so I won't go back over that. I've told DH to help me as we are having meals to keep on track, not so much for the weight loss/gain factor, but I don't want to miserable and sick from throwing stuff in my body that it is not used to anymore.
I hope I can hit the fitness center at the CR a couple of times, and I definitely want to run to the MK and back twice a couple of times, for a 3 mile run. I just think that would be the most magical thing, to run towards the castle at daybreak. Hopefully I can handle the humidity, and WAKE UP to do it, we'll just have to see. I don't really want to set an alarm and wake everyone up at 5! BUT, this is Disney, and I don't want to stress over ANYTHING while I am there. I'll take it as it comes. That may sound lax, but...
Class was soooo boring last night. I couldn't get WDW off my mind.Not sure how I'll make it through today. Gotta focus on that final, though!
I've been a little teary this morning thinking about Daddy, and Father's Day. I hate leaving my mom, but one of my brothers lives 2 houses down from her, so he'll be there, and then she's going to spend part of the week with her sister, so that will be nice! I'm going to try not to focus on that tomorrow, but WDW always makes me emotional anyway.
I stayed away from the computer last night so we could get stuff done. I have written on my last minute list to come say goodbye before we leave tonight, so I hope I make it on for a second this evening. I hope to check in a few times while we are there. But if not......
Have a great week everyone! Hug the special men in your life tomorrow! Just think, with me gone, you'll have soooo many fewer pages to read this week!!! Thanks for all the well wishes!

ONLY 4 MORE DAYS UNTIL SUMMER VACATION
Had a great end of the year party. I spent yesterday printing out notes people had sent me about my friend who is retiring. I put them into a notebook and he loved it. I know he will cry when he reads them. they are all so touching.
What a sweet idea!We are off to baseball practice and game this morning and after I hope to get the lawn cut, and visit my brother for a swim. Tonight we have a cookout and campout at a local park with the cub scouts. Should be fun but I'm hoping I don't get too cranky in the heat.
Have a happy, healthy weekend everyone!!
Yep, let it go. She probably didn't realize that it was upsetting you.Or next time be humorous about it and say something like "well, I'm sure it won't keep me awake or anything."
I love it!
I am suuuper excited!!! I FINALLY lost 2 pounds. I have had the same weight for the past 2 weeks and finally finally finally I lost 2 POUNDS!!!
I think I am finally caught up.
We had a massive wicked storm yesterday afternoon and our electricity went out. It went out at 3:30 p.m. and didn't come back on until 4:10 a.m. 12+ hours to try to entertain 3 kids and a dog. It was a LONG day! My iPod touch died around hour 3 and my phone died around hour 5... oh my goodness... what did I do before all this technology?
I need to PM my weight... couldn't do it yesterday!
That's a while for kids to be without power! Thank goodness you have it back!
QOTD1 ~ Saturday ~
What is for dinner tonight?
I have no idea. I actually think we are going to a graduation party. I don't have to go, but I should. My parents are.
QOTD2 ~
Do you like living where you live? Why? (only give out as much information as you are comfortable giving out)
We live in a city called bethlehem. Its been named the "christmas city" its very pretty here during the holidays. I grew up in a neighboring city (allentown) my whole life but crime is slowly taking it over so we decided to move to bethlehem once we got pregnant with our 2nd son. It is a very nice city. We really enjoy living here. We are only 45 minutes outside of philadelphia and 2 hours from NYC, and 2-3 hours from the jersey shore. It makes it easy to have day trip vacations. We also love the 4 seasons. Our summers get hot our winters get cold and our fall and spring are a little in between. So its nice! We also enjoy being huge philly sports fans. GO EAGLES and PHILLIES
CC--I will post the veggie lasagna recipe on the recipe thread. I got it online, and it said no copying, but honestly I changed it so much I think it's probably ok.
I'll leave the decision up to you.
I am down .8 this week. I'm good with that. I think I have some major hormone readjustments going on.
We ran 9 miles at a 1:43:34 time!:goodvibes I was really happy. We walked at the beginning and the end for a total of 12.2 miles. I don't think we'll get swept at W&D in October!
to both! Good luck at the W&D!
swimsuits, girls' clothes, my clothes, shoes, toiletries, disney box, are packed! Class stuff is DONE!!!!!!!!!! deep thoughts by Taryn rambling!
Dona- Glad you liked toy story3. Now tell me, will I cry more than I cried at UP???? We are going to see it on our last day of school which is thursday too.

), but I did get a Champion brand fitness pair. They felt WONDERFUL! No blisters, which is perfect in my book.
). I got out of bed, filled my water bottle, and spent 50 minutes on the Wii Fit. I made my parents breakfast. It was mainly for my father in honor of Father's Day. It was more points than my usual breakfast, but still ok. Dinner is tacos made with ground turkey breast, so very low in points. I am planning out my days from now on the Taryn way. I have been busy doing that this morning and will be working on my schedule for the week throughout the day. I have planned to spend some time today searching for teaching positions. I am going to write in my new planner when the applications, etc. are due. Well, it's time for me to clean out my purse. I have no idea how, but I need to do that weekly.
Hope everything is ok and that your week goes along smoothly.
I too was sobbing during UP. It was such a wonderful love story. If we were closer I'd meet you for TS3 so you wouldn't be the only one crying. My sister might come with us, and she'll be crying too, so I won't be alone.-I cried through the entire UP movie. I loved it, but goodness. From the time I saw the trailer for TS3, I knew it was going to be a tear jerker. I think I cried during the trailer--since Andy and DS are about the same age. Maybe I'll wait for the dvd, so I can cry in the comfort of my home.
He is so precious.
Have fun at the recital. Hope all goes well, and that it's in an air conditioned venue.
Happy Anniversary!!!
Your home is lovely.
We've redone he landscaping so it looks better, and the yard has a little more grass grown in... hopes are to tearup the yard this fall and redo it, I just hope it's not as wet as this past as we will have a mud pit lol
Saturday was hotdog, salad and chips with water to drink. Oh, and 2 bites of michael's cheeseburger. Tonight I have chicken to grill and corn on the cob, and maybe a salad if I find the motivation in the heat.
I love where I live. I have a small bungalow in Danvers, MA, a town 20 miles north of boston, 5 miles from the beaches, 2 miles from where I grew up. I love having the 4 seasons. My neighborhood is pretty quite, but we have a 2 malls close by and about 1/4 mile to the center of town. I am blessed with some very nice neighbors, and the school michael goes to has a really nice community, we're 2 blocks to the park where he plays baseball, and starting this weekend we have a big family festival with different activities going up until the fourth of july with an awesome fireworks display on the 3rd at our park. I feel very lucky to have moved into this neighborhood.
I don't know why Lisa, but i picture you sitting out on your front porch with a pina colada enjoying that gorgeous view.
Soooo funny. He definitely looks better in the hat, which i guess he knows cuz you hardly ever see him without it.I first saw him at our local fair in 1999. I was dating a guy at the time that liked country music and his parents employer was looking for volunteers to help seat people at the concert. I volunteered and I can remember being annoyed ahead of time because I really didnt want to stay at the concert. Well let me tell ya, a few minutes into it and I was a huge fan. I think I even ended up rushing the stage with all the other girls too!
Whoo hoo, that is awesome, and definitely you will not be swept. In my head I feel like I should be able to do a long run at 12 min miles in order not to be swept at the princess. You will rock the wine and dine!!!We ran 9 miles at a 1:43:34 time!
Nice work staying on plan!!!
So funny. It's nice not to have to worry about girls for a while.DS 11 had a girl follow him around the skate plaza making the "call me" sign in December. Like the practical man that he is he asked "how can I call her when I don't even know her name? Or her number? And what would we talk about?"
Whoo hoo!!! Congrats!!!I am suuuper excited!!! I FINALLY lost 2 pounds. I have had the same weight for the past 2 weeks and finally finally finally I lost 2 POUNDS!!!
It felt great to hit the shower. We had fun, Michael has had some issues with a boy in school with some bullying, and they had a little tif last night, and Michael got so upset. In school, the boys had met with the teacher and social worker together and the outcome was that they do not need to be friends, but they need to be respectful of each other, and school has been going fine, but last night Michael got so frustrated with the other boy, so we are going to meet with the boy and his mom to try and work things out so they can get along. I hate to see him so upset and frustrated, and I know where they live close by they are going to be together at things, and they need to deal with it without getting upset. So we're going to go by there and talk to them after lunch. Wish me luck.
Yay!
We live in beautiful Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It is a great place to raise a family. We have a wonderful quality of life and live, work and go to school in a 5 mile triangle. We have a lot of freedom, too, thanks to being self-employed. The springs are long and wet but most of the time we are happy to be here.
This is the view from the front of my house:
and a shot of our backyard:
But being a snowbird and spending part of the winter at WDW would be fabulous!
Off to Star Wars in Concert!
Ann, glad that you came through the thunderstorms okay!
Happy saturday everyone. We had a great time today at our kids races. It is in a local parkway and put together by a local road runners group. The kids have so much fun and they make us so proud!
We also had lunch at a pizza shop. Only one slice with me with onions on top. So far so good today. I usually buy a huge jug of water every 2 wks and it has run out. I really need to get to the store today and replenish because I have been struggling to get the water in the past 2 days. Tap water just isnt as tasty.
Not sure what our plans are for the evening. We are trying to do something instead of just being at home but are having a hard time coming up with ideas.
QOTD- dinner??? not quite sure, depends on our plans for the night.
We live in a city called bethlehem. Its been named the "christmas city" its very pretty here during the holidays.

I am finally caught up--I was 11 pages behind!
Kathy--I loved reading your race report. Congratulations!
Happy belated b-days to all those celebrating.
CC--I will post the veggie lasagna recipe on the recipe thread. I got it online, and it said no copying, but honestly I changed it so much I think it's probably ok.
Lisa--wow, what views!
Taryn--have a wonderful trip.
I am down .8 this week. I'm good with that. I think I have some major hormone readjustments going on.
QOTD--dinner is going to be beer and probably a hummus platter after the game. It's going to be way too hot to eat during the baseball game tonight.
I like where we live ok--a major city in KY. We're not from here, but I haven't lived where I'm from (PA) since I was 18. We came here for dh's job after he got out of the Navy and just stayed. We stayed because our neighbors were like a surrogate family to ds. We both really like our jobs now and we're able to travel a bunch so it makes it worth staying. We have 3 Disney trips for this year and a couple of other things in the works.
We ran 9 miles at a 1:43:34 time!
Hope everyone is having a great day.
Lisa--I can't wait to hear about World Of Color. We're still waiting on ROFR on our add-on, but if it doesn't go through I am seriously considering DL for Christmas instead of WDW. We used to live in San Diego and I've always loved DL. WOC just looks amazing!
Final wasn't that hard, but it was hard to concentrate. I finally just quit trying and turned it in, I was saying the same things over and over. I think I did well enough - we turned in 4 things, one a major portfolio and one a final today, and he has to have grades in by Tuesday. There are 25 of us in class, and he just finished his another class for the semester yesterday, so I don't think he'll be reading too closely.
I don't feel all that great.
DH is asleep, but I can tell he was up for part of the day. Going to do the stuff I need to before I wake him up, then we'll grab some pizzas, go to mom's and eat with her and the girls, then
Hope I can check in sometime during the week, but if I don't - have a great week. Going to shut down the computer now, so I can get stuff done!
BYE!!!!!

QOTD1 ~ Saturday ~
What is for dinner tonight?
We had hebrew national hotdogs and macaroni and cheese. I know a winning combo, but we had "slop night" which is just whatever is left over from the week lol
QOTD2 ~
Do you like living where you live? Why? (only give out as much information as you are comfortable giving out)
I do like we live. We are about 45 to 1hour from a major city if we want a get away, and we get all 4 seasons lol. we just recently moved, same town different location, so I may be a little biased, but I figure same town not a lots going to change lol... and just to brag a little, def nothing like PP had, but it's home and that's what's most important
We've redone he landscaping so it looks better, and the yard has a little more grass grown in... hopes are to tearup the yard this fall and redo it, I just hope it's not as wet as this past as we will have a mud pit lol
Hi everyone! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.
I haven't had a chance to catch up on the last few pages, but I will soon. I took a little break from the computer to "celebrate" my 15th wedding anniversary, which was on Thursday. We had a nice dinner last night, and while I didn't go completely crazy, I didn't eat as well as I had been the rest of the week. So it was back on track starting this morning. I am happy to say I just got back from my nice, hilly walk. I bought some new walking shoes today. Didn't get the Shape-ups like I thought I was going to (they didn't have them to fit my monster-size feet
Well, I am off to eat some dinner. Hope you all have a wonderful evening.
Ok, I know this is late but this is our Onslow. I was going to post it earlier, but thursday we had a thunder storm and a power outage, and yesterday was too busy to post. This pic is from the the first day we brought him home back in Nov.
This is my work weekend, so I'll have to catch up tomorrow. Gotta go get ready for work in the morning. Hope everybody is having a great weekend.
Hi Onslow! What a cutie!Good Morning!
I got some much needed rest this morning and am looking forward to a good day. I slept in until 7:10. (That's late for me.
Be back later. Have a wonderful, on plan Sunday!
