Biggest Loser Princess and Tinker Bell 2011 and 2012 -- OLD please see NEW thread

[Worfiedoodles]

Good Afternoon, Pretty Princesses!

Rose -- So sorry about the jeans, that is just wrong. I'm still debating getting a new pair this weekend...I am so jealous of your weather! If it were 70 here I would totally be running outside on my favorite path by the ocean I am so glad you had a great weekend, you certainly deserved it!

Lisa -- The Mountain Berry package is blue! I think I also saw Margarita flavor on a website, I think I would try that at home, rather than on a course, just to be safe it's not scary Chewie is a bit more active than Worf ever was, or at least that I can remember He loves to pick up things and carry them around in his mouth, our other kitties never did that. My ds learned the hard way. He has a habit of leaving his clothes all over his bedroom floor. He was a bit embarrassed when Chewie brought a pair of his underwear to mom

Kathy -- Your outfit is too cute, and I love the shirts! You guys are so creative! I found a $10 off coupon for JCPenney, so I guess I'm good to go Now all I have to do is remember to bring a snack so I avoid Auntie Anne's! My ds will definitely be getting pretzel bites, my goal is to have one (or none!) of his and call it a day.

Lindsay -- I'm glad you were able to get it all off your chest. Sometimes it's so hard to do everything we want/need to do; we could all use a little I am very happy to be in the middle of the pack for the race, too! It took me three races to move out of the last corral, I honestly felt like I had a major accomplishment before I even started in January...

Jude -- It sounds like you have a great trip planned! I can't wait to meet you and everyone else who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet!

Jen -- Ok, I am officially jealous of everyone leaving before Friday morning! I'm on the 2nd JetBlue flight out of Boston, so at least I should be at the Expo for most of the afternoon. I'll be wearing a WISH sling bag on my back, so please say "Hi" if you see me!

Corinna -- Is mom still visiting? Hope things are going well. I wouldn't be surprised to find out you threw in another Half

So, I went to my WI last night at WW and I was down. .6, for a total of 9.4 in 4 weeks. I have a goal of losing 10 lbs before I get on the plane next Friday, and I am totally focused now! You would think that would have translated into me getting up and running this morning, but I just felt like I couldn't do it. I ran 3M yesterday morning and then had yoga, and I was just beat. I think I did get really restorative sleep, so hopefully I'll be able to bounce up tomorrow morning and run 3M.

The only wrinkle is I am having a really long day today (here's my mini vent, ala Lindsay). I have to go directly from work to a meeting at DS's school so I can learn about 8th grade curriculum and their choices (fine arts and modern foreign language -- they all have to take Latin), at 6pm. That should last until 7pm, at which point we have to sprint into the suburbs to our church, where our District Superintendent is introducing our new pastor at 8pm. I have to be at this meeting, since I'm the chairperson for the personnel committee. It is slightly awkward since this church has not had a new pastor in 15 years, and in that time people have forgotten that they don't get to choose their new pastor, the Bishop makes an appointment and basically you have to live with it. Add to that the fact that this introduction is strictly confidential, it's just me and the rest of the committee. I have to hope that none of these people will leak it to the rest of the congregation. I think the odds aren't good By the time I get home for dinner, it's going to be 9:30 or 10pm. I have a lovely piece of salmon and rice waiting for me, I just have to tough it out. I packed a ton of veggies and fruit today, so hopefully I can grab a little something while we're driving to the church meeting to tide me over. And I have to hope that eating that late, I can drag myself up in the morning for my workout.

Anyway, I guess I'd better eat my lunch and get back to work...

: But it could have been worse if it was all happening next week when you are gone -- mommy guilt, it's the pits. Remember a few more days and you will be a Princess!

Yes at least its all happening now. Hopefully we will be in the free and clear next week. Mommy guilt is setting in but my boys dont seemed bothered by me leaving at all. Maybe its because I keep telling them I am going to bring them home a really cool surprise.

I did the elliptical last night and stopped when my foot started getting tender. I then came home and iced it. I can feel it this morning, but no pain. On the way to the Y, I almost turned around and went to the park. The weather is so nice! I couldn't believe how many people were on the treadmills. You would have had to chain me to the treadmill yesterday. Thursday it's supposed to be 70. I am meeting Mike at the park after work no matter what. Even if we have to slow down our pace to almost walking, I don't care. Mentally I need a run outside. I have the inserts in, but they are so hard, I'm wondering if they are aggravating my heel. On the other hand, they are keeping my arch from collapsing, which causes plantar flare up. Who knows???? I think I might need to go to the Good Foot Store.

I hope everyone is having a great week! Only 8 more nights sleeping in my bed!

Rose I can only imagine how you feel being forced to slow down and having this wonderful weather. I hope you at least are able to do a walk or slow job today outside. Wow 70! Im jealous. It is 45 here today and I was thrilled. Only 8 more nights!!!!!

Uggh! I finally bought a pair of skinny jeans. I had to order the size I needed. Ok, fine. I washed them once and something funky happened to them and I need to take them back! And I know they won't have my size again! And I paid $70 for them! I have NEVER paid that much for jeans. So frustrating! I guess it's back to Kohl's for cheapy jeans.

That is so frustrating. You would think for spending that much money on jeans they would be of top quality. I hope your pizza and brownies come out yummy!

So, I went to my WI last night at WW and I was down. .6, for a total of 9.4 in 4 weeks. I have a goal of losing 10 lbs before I get on the plane next Friday, and I am totally focused now! You would think that would have translated into me getting up and running this morning, but I just felt like I couldn't do it. I ran 3M yesterday morning and then had yoga, and I was just beat. I think I did get really restorative sleep, so hopefully I'll be able to bounce up tomorrow morning and run 3M.

Thats so awesome Maria. I bet you will hit your goal before next week. Sorry you are not leaving until friday....if it makes you feel any better we wont land in orlando until 819pm so really Fri is our first day.

Ok can we say holy long day. Gosh I was tired just reading about it. I hope it goes well for you, at least it will make your day go quickly.

Well I am home with Ryan today. His temp is still up. This am it hit 103. It goes down with motrin but is back up again once it wears off. I had him checked this morning to rule out strep since he was complaining of headache and sorethroat but it was negative. So its viral and we just have to let it ride its course. I am working from home but took a break to catch up with you ladies.

I am scheduling a bunch of stuff for myself between now and next wed at work so my days go fast. I am so anxious to get to disney I just cant take it anymore. So I thought if I keep myself busy it will go faster. I am such a nut.

I am also completely obsessed with checking the weather channel. So far for next friday in disney world it shows 77 and sunny.

 

[mikamah]

Just wanted to say hi to my princess friends!!

Only have a minute, so I'll catch up later, but I missed catching up this morning. I know it's smart of me to chose to run/walk, and limit my dis time, but I miss you.

We've having my sister and bil for dinner, and they michael and I go to scouts for a pinewood derby build night, and then I'll bring him home and go to the scout leader meeting and my sister will stay and watch him.

Hugs to all. Some busy, stressful stuff going on. Hang in there princesses. We'll all be escaping to magical princess land soon.

 

[lisah0711]

Rose, I'm sure you'll look great no matter what kind of jeans you get, Rose!

And besides the weather is showing some warmer temperatures for the end of next week and wind! Hope it's a tail wind for the leg back!

Maria, you'll be at 10 pounds down before you head out for sure! Your long day should almost be over now.

Watch out for those little kitty gifts -- the only time my kitty brought me something it was a mouse!

I'll look for the berry Clif Bloks -- it's pretty hard to beat the black cherry, though. The margarita doesn't sound that appealing to me.

Does anyone know whether it is regular Powerade or Powerade Zero for the sports drink? I think I remember that it is lemon/lime flavor. I'm trying some lemon/lime Powerade Zero right now and I'm thinking that I would not be wanting it on race day -- tastes like icky kool-aid to me.

Lindsay, hope that Ryan is feeling better soon. Bless his heart!

Kathy, I was just admiring your pictures again and thinking that your face looks so thin! Can't wait to hear when you hit ONE-derland!

Well about this time next week I should be checking in at AKL!

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

Well about this time next week I should be checking in at AKL!

This reminded me. I thought it would be fun to do a QOTD-what will you be doing this time next week? through the weekend. Play along if you want....if not I will answer my own questions and you can all be amused.

QOTD What will you be doing on Wednesday 2/23/11?

I will be finishing up any loose ends at work. I have a busy day planned so hopefully it goes fast. Then I will come home and spend some cuddle time with my boys and dream of all the fun times that will be had in the days to come.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Ok, QOTD--I will be working a Bowl for kids sake event next wednesday with Mike. We have a lot of work events the weekend that I am gone, so I volunteered to come in on Wednesday night. Boy, I need to get organized this weekend or I will be having some major last minute panic getting ready to go!

DS called me a million times today with questions for his background check. I think he's done, so that's good! I made g-f brownines--they are fabulous!!! Yum! The pizza dough was ok. Finding the ingredients was stressful. I was almost in tears a couple of times in the Kroger. I finally called Mike and had him google some stuff to see if it's g-f. I won't say the pizza dough was my favorite, but it was edible. And I don't feel like I have a lump of undigested dough in my stomach--what more can you ask for.

So here's my excitement for the day. My sister texted me that she has to be in Argentina (for work) on the 27th. Yes, the 27th of February. She's going to call tomorrow, but I'm guessing she is baling, but I could be wrong. I'm sure she still doesn't have plane tickets. Anywho, if that's the case, Mike and I would love to meet you all for the expo and we're really looking forward to Saturday.

I did strength today, and have iced my foot twice this evening. Definitely meeting Mike to run after work! Woohoo! If my foot is really sore, then that's it until the race.

I hope everyone is doing great. I am taking my g-f brownies to work tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes!

 

[mikamah]

Good evening princesses!!!

Had a 2 hour scout leader meeting tonight to plan the big banquet I'll miss cuz we'll be in disney, and the pinewood derby. So I just sent an email to the other leader with all the info about the banquet and their needs and it's in her court now. She's the official leader but as just the assistant, maybe I'm a little too anal or too much of a planner, but I seem to be the only one trying to plan and keep the others informed. Oh well, I'm not stressing about it tonight because tomorrow is our last den meeting before disney!!!!!!

Love the qotd, lindsay!! Next week at this time, I hope we'll be heading back to ASMo on the bus from Mk. Either that, or relaxing around the pool with a frozen drink. Figure I should celebrate that night, and the go alcohol free til my celebratory margarita sunday afternoon!!!

Lindsay- I'm not worried about the fla weather yet, but next wed is on our 7 day forcast, and it looks sunny and 36 so far!!!!! SOoooooooo hope it doesn't change to any snow. I'll truly believe it by the weekend. Sorry poor
Ryan is sick. It's so stressful with work and everything, but I'll bet you'd prefer he be sick when you're home, and next week, you should be able to rest assured he's healthy with Dad while you're with us!!!!

Rose- So glad you had a nice weekend with ds, and your last post sounds so happy and positive. You're doing a great job beating the sadness, or faking it well. Hope you're feeling better. It sounds like you're good with the sister bailing, and I'm so glad Mike is coming with you where all the sisters ended up not going. That will be great to meet you at the expo and the dismeet. Good luck with your run tomorrow. I think that's a great plan to take some time off to rest the foot before the race. I know they say to take a full 3 days off, and I know that's hard for you, but give it a try.

Lisa-Thanks for the compliment. I do feel like I can see a difference this past week too. A couple people at work have complimented me and noticed my weight loss too. Too bad about the sparkle skirt, but glad to hear you have a plan to wear it in the future. I don't like shorts either. I definitely share the same body image issues you do, but as time goes on, slowly we're coming around.

Maria- Yay, you'll see that 10 pounds gone by next friday!!! Hope your long day ended a long time ago and you're comfy at home.

Jude- 2 days til you're on vacation!!!! Whoo hoo!! Hope your foot starts feeling better with the gel inserts. Safe travels if we don't see you again before friday. I know those final days before the trip can be hectic. See you soon in wdw!!!!

Jen- hope your conference isn't too painful, and you have plenty of time to dis. You're next after Jude to leave on tuesday!! I forget, are you guys staying at Pop?

Corinna- Hello there!! I'm going to go back and read your posts of tips for the race tonight. I can't believe we're going to be there so soon.

I am so excited. I know I have another week to go, but I'm just feeling a little crazed. I'm bringing my outfit to work tomorrow, and will model it for the girls in the afternoon, after all the patients have been sedated.
My boss is a stickler for keeping the personal talk away from the admitting side of the unit where the patients can hear us, so I'll wait til she's gone home. Also, the girl who runs ds's after school program is a disney fanatic also, and she wants to see it, so I'll wear it to school to pick him up. Of course I'll run that by michael in the am first.

I am supposed to work next tuesday and we leave wed, but I put my name up to get the day off. I'll know on friday if I get if off, and then officially will be on vacation. I'm thinking they'll want to give me the day off since I'm probably a bit out of my mind lately.

Sweet dreams princesses.

 

[jbm02]

Hi everyone! We leave tomorrow!!! Yay!!

But I have so much to jam-pack in before we leave! I am going out for a quick run (no more than 3) after getting everyone off to school/work. Then I have a hearing this morning, back to the office to tie up any loose ends and leave by 3PM so I can get the kids to an orthodontist appointment. Tonight is packing up everything (hmmm, I've been asking the kids for 2 weeks to try on their summer clothes from last year - what's the chance that both will only have 1 - 2 pair of shorts that still fit??!) ...tomorrow is my last 2 hour run. I am not going to concentrate on any miles, just go for 2 miles straight through. I won't make 13 but it should be good. (please, please let my new gel-inserts work!!!) Then I'll be running around, doing last minute errands, etc til everyone gets home from work and school. As soon as DD steps off the bus - we're off!!!

Before I forget - what time is everyone meeting on Saturday?? Lisa, I emailed you my cell number and I have your cell number. Jen and I will be together so if we're missing, we're lost together...

I'll try to pop in before leaving tomorrow!!

 

[jbm02]

Forgot to answer:

[COLOR="RedQOTD What will you be doing on Wednesday 2/23/11?[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Walking the beach on Daytona Beach and being oh-so-glad to have escaped the upstate NY winter!! ....can't wait to be able to run outside again, too!

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

So here's my excitement for the day. My sister texted me that she has to be in Argentina (for work) on the 27th. Yes, the 27th of February. She's going to call tomorrow, but I'm guessing she is baling, but I could be wrong. I'm sure she still doesn't have plane tickets. Anywho, if that's the case, Mike and I would love to meet you all for the expo and we're really looking forward to Saturday.

Well at least mike decided to come now so Im sure it is easier for you to deal with her uncertainty. I on the other hand would be so excited to meet you both at the expo along with kathy and lisa.

Glad Toms stuff is coming together. I hope your run went well and that your brownies are a big hit today at work.

I am so excited. I know I have another week to go, but I'm just feeling a little crazed. I'm bringing my outfit to work tomorrow, and will model it for the girls in the afternoon, after all the patients have been sedated.

I know I feel a bit crazed too Kathy. I just feel like I want to run around screaming that I am going to disney soon. Im holding it in dont worry. I was cracking up at your work story. 1. because now we all know what happens when you get sedated in a hospital....you have nurses dancing around in sparkly skirts. and 2. I find it hilarious that instead of trying to have personal talk elsewhere you just wait until the boss goes home. You are too funny.

I hope you get the day off!!!!!

Hi everyone! We leave tomorrow!!! Yay!!

Jude that is so exciting. I bet being on the beach in the sunny weather is going to be amazing. Good luck on your last runs and I hope the inserts work and that your foot feels better. Have a safe trip!!!


Well Ryan slept all night without any medicine. He is not up yet but I am really hoping the fever is done. I am home with him until 9 and than mike is coming home for the rest of the day. so unfortunately I have to go to work. I want to get outside and run so bad today but I wont be home until its dark, it is going to be a high of 55 today. Our TM is acting up again and when mike was using it on monday is began to smell like rubber was burning and then was smoking. So needless to say we havent used it since.

Well have a great day Princessess!

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

2/17/11QOTD-What are your plans for next Thursday 2/25/11.

I have off. I plan to take Ry to Kindergarten and Nick to daycare for the morning. I will then go to the grocery store so my dh and boys have food in the house, then I will do my 30 min run. By then I will have to P/U the boys. I plan on hanging out with them until I need to go to the airport. dh is leaving work early to take me. Our flight leaves at 550p and arrives at MCO at 819p. We are using ME but picking up our bags ourselves since its later. We will hop on a bus to CBR!!!! Once we check in we will go to the room and unload and than most likely get a bite to eat at the foodcourt. We are planning on getting to bed at a decent time to prepare for the days ahead.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Good morning!

Kathy--that cracked me up too, what the nurses are doing when we're sedated.

Jude--safe travels!

Lindsay--have a great day!

Hello to Lisa, Maria, Corinna, and Jen!

I got up early this morning and put together soup to take to work. I had to taste the g-f brownies again to make sure they are edible. Did I tell you they have a can of black beans in them? They are delicious!

High of 74 today!!!!! Though it will be pretty windy. This is why I put up with the nasty temps in the summer. I love it when we get some early spring days.

So fingers crossed that my foot cooperates today. I will be smiling all day, just because we are running outside.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[mikamah]

!Before I forget - what time is everyone meeting on Saturday?? Lisa, I emailed you my cell number and I have your cell number. Jen and I will be together so if we're missing, we're lost together...

The assp dis meet is at 4:00 with a group pic being taken at 4:30 was the original plan. I hope to get there for 4.
Good luck with your run. Hope the inserts help.

I just feel like I want to run around screaming that I am going to disney soon. Im holding it in dont worry.:laughing

I hope you get the day off!!!!!

Phew, I'm glad I'm not alone. I figure my charge nurse will give me next tuesday off so she doesn't have to listen to me. And just so you know, several of the girls I work with asked me to bring in my outfit and show them.

Well Ryan slept all night without any medicine. He is not up yet but I am really hoping the fever is done. I am home with him until 9 and than mike is coming home for the rest of the day. so unfortunately I have to go to work. I want to get outside and run so bad today but I wont be home until its dark, it is going to be a high of 55 today. Our TM is acting up again and when mike was using it on monday is began to smell like rubber was burning and then was smoking. So needless to say we havent used it since.

Hope Ryan's better this morning. Bummer on the treadmill, and not being able to get out today to run. It already feels so warm today, but next week we'll be toasty!!!!

2/17/11QOTD-What are your plans for next Thursday 2/25/11.

Next thursday, which is actually the 24th, I think we're going to AK. It's not set in stone, so I'll do whatever the kids and sil want to do. We aren't doing the dining plan, so don't have any ressie for that day. We don't have park hoppers either, so if we did ak, maybe dtd afterwards. I honestly don't care what we do, I'll just be so happy to be there!!!! My sil said she wants to take it easy, and I know I should take it easy, but that's hard for me once I get there, but I'm going to follow her lead.

It's so nice to come here and chat with you all about this since really noone else fully understands me and the level of my obsession. You princesses are the best.

wow, black beans. I love them, and bet they somehow give the brownies a great consistency. Good luck with your run, and enjoy that beautiful temperature!!

Good morning Princesses!

This reminded me. I thought it would be fun to do a QOTD-what will you be doing this time next week? through the weekend. Play along if you want....if not I will answer my own questions and you can all be amused.

QOTD What will you be doing on Wednesday 2/23/11?

Good idea, Lindsay, on the QOTD. Wednesday is my travel day. My flight leaves Spokane at 6:40 am and lands in Orlando at 5:00 pm (but it's really only 2 pm my time). I'll get to sit in the exit row and watch my movies on the DVR! I'll be tired from being on the plane for 7 1/2 hours so will have something to eat and go to bed early.

So here's my excitement for the day. My sister texted me that she has to be in Argentina (for work) on the 27th. Yes, the 27th of February. She's going to call tomorrow, but I'm guessing she is baling, but I could be wrong. I'm sure she still doesn't have plane tickets. Anywho, if that's the case, Mike and I would love to meet you all for the expo and we're really looking forward to Saturday.

Wowza, Rose! Sisters, gotta love 'em! We would love to see you and Mike at the Expo. We should probably think of where we are going to meet. Anyone have any ideas? I might wear my WISH shirt which would make me easy to spot!

I am so excited. I know I have another week to go, but I'm just feeling a little crazed. I'm bringing my outfit to work tomorrow, and will model it for the girls in the afternoon, after all the patients have been sedated.

Yes, you want to be careful with that sparkle skirt and Michael -- parents are embarrassing enough as it is without accessories!

Hi everyone! We leave tomorrow!!! Yay!!

Jude, you're leaving today! Whatever doesn't get done at home can get done in Daytona! Safe travels! And think of us while you are sitting on the beach sipping something cool!

Well Ryan slept all night without any medicine. He is not up yet but I am really hoping the fever is done. I am home with him until 9 and than mike is coming home for the rest of the day. so unfortunately I have to go to work. I want to get outside and run so bad today but I wont be home until its dark, it is going to be a high of 55 today. Our TM is acting up again and when mike was using it on monday is began to smell like rubber was burning and then was smoking. So needless to say we havent used it since.

Glad that Ryan is feeling better, Lindsay. Ah, the resiliency of youth! This may be one of those days when you say "Yay, I get to go to work today!" Smoking TM doesn't sound good.

2/17/11QOTD-What are your plans for next Thursday 2/25/11.

This is my solo day. I'm going to Animal Kingdom in the morning. I'm thinking fish and chips and Welsh Dragon at Rose & Crown CS for a late lunch and then I want to see MSEP at MK at 7 pm. I used to work MSEP when I worked at DL so I would like to see it at WDW because who knows when that might happen again.

Okay Princesses this is what I have for meets:

Fri 2/25 Meet at Expo at 10 am

Fri 2/25 Princess Thread meet somewhere in DTD -- this is the one from the Princess thread on the Events side of the WISH board. I'll see if I can find the link. I don't know much about it because I will be having dinner with Kathy to help celebrate her birthday that day!

Sat 2/26 The WISH meet that Corinna is organizing at All Star Sports at 4 pm http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=39563046&postcount=1

Sun 2/27 Before race? Are we trying to meet up before we go to our corrals? If so, where? I'm fuzzy on this one!

After race in the Family Reunion Tent T-Z.

Later Jellyrolls? Don't know much about that one. I won't be able to make it because I have ME at 5 am on Monday.

I am so ready to be there! Have a great day Princesses!

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

High of 74 today!!!!! Though it will be pretty windy. This is why I put up with the nasty temps in the summer. I love it when we get some early spring days.

So fingers crossed that my foot cooperates today. I will be smiling all day, just because we are running outside.

Have a great day everyone!

I will be smiling for you today Rose!!! I am still figuring a way to get in a run outside today. I planned on staying later at work but I might have to think of an excuse why I might need to leave early. Black beans in the brownies....now that is one thing I would have never thought of. Glad they taste so good!!!!

It's so nice to come here and chat with you all about this since really noone else fully understands me and the level of my obsession. You princesses are the best.

oops I got ahead of myself. 2/24/11 is thursday. Your day sounds fun and I know what you mean about needing to take it easy but mentally it is hard. I know I am going to regret my plans the days prior while I am running my race. I dont get to disney often and my aunt has never been there so that is my excuse.

I agree no one else really wants to hear about my trip anymore. Even my mom who is going doesnt seem as excited. I told her last night she was annoying me that she doesnt sound more excited and she said what do you want me to do scream and cheer over the phone as you talk about. I replied with "YES"!!!!

Good idea, Lindsay, on the QOTD. Wednesday is my travel day. My flight leaves Spokane at 6:40 am and lands in Orlando at 5:00 pm (but it's really only 2 pm my time). I'll get to sit in the exit row and watch my movies on the DVR! I'll be tired from being on the plane for 7 1/2 hours so will have something to eat and go to bed early.

Wow, that is a long flight Lisa. Im glad you are arriving a number of days before the race to let your body adjust to the time change.

Wowza, Rose! Sisters, gotta love 'em! We would love to see you and Mike at the Expo. We should probably think of where we are going to meet. Anyone have any ideas? I might wear my WISH shirt which would make me easy to spot!

I dont know anything about WWS but I plan to get the bus from CBR at 930. So should we at least plan on 10am somewhere? Rose maybe since you have done races here previously you would have a good spot in mind. I also will PM you guys my cell# so if I am not there you can call me because most likely I would be wandering around lost.

This is my solo day. I'm going to Animal Kingdom in the morning. I'm thinking fish and chips and Welsh Dragon at Rose & Crown CS for a late lunch and then I want to see MSEP at MK at 7 pm. I used to work MSEP when I worked at DL so I would like to see it at WDW because who knows when that might happen again.

We rearranged plans to be at MK on sat at 7 to see this. I said the same thing...would hate to miss it because who knows how long it will be there.

Okay Princesses this is what I have for meets:

Fri 2/25 Meet at Expo at 10 am
I will be there!

Fri 2/25 Princess Thread meet somewhere in DTD -- this is the one from the Princess thread on the Events side of the WISH board. I'll see if I can find the link. I don't know much about it because I will be having dinner with Kathy to help celebrate her birthday that day!

I didnt really participate much on this thread

Sat 2/26 The WISH meet that Corinna is organizing at All Star Sports at 4 pm http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=39563046&postcount=1

Just not enough time in the day for me on this one. I am hoping to meet corinna and maria after the race!

Sun 2/27 Before race? Are we trying to meet up before we go to our corrals? If so, where? I'm fuzzy on this one!

I would be up for this if it works out. I think we mentioned about meeting at the T-Z tent? What time is everyone planning on getting the bus to the race?

After race in the Family Reunion Tent T-Z.
I will stop here I just dont know how long I will stay.

Later Jellyrolls? Don't know much about that one. I won't be able to make it because I have ME at 5 am on Monday.

This sounds like so much fun but I already had plans for MK and dinner at ohana's

Not sure if you wanted a direct response to all of the above but Im a bit chatty today. Thanks for summing it all up for us Lisa. I seriously can not wait!!!!!

Good Morning, Precious Princess Pals!

Lindsay -- Looking forward to answering your QOTD, how fun!

Lisa -- Great list of Meets. I'm looking forward to making what I can...my flight doesn't land until 10:40 Friday, so I don't know if you guys will still be at the Expo by the time I make it there. I'll have my WISH lime green sling bag on my back, so point and laugh if you see me!

Kathy -- I told my dh I'd probably only get to spend 4-5 hours in Epcot Sunday (depending on how long it takes me to recover from the race and when I go to JellyRolls), and he told me that sounds like way more than enough time... He really doesn't like WDW...It is sweet of him to pretend to pay attention when I tell him my Monday/Tuesday Park plans, but the truth is, I don't have any "live" people around me who would care...

Rose-- Refresh my memory, what is Spring? We don't get much of one here anyway, but the idea of having it in February is just more than I can wrap my mind around Enjoy your gorgeous day! Sorry about your sister, but it sounds like you are poised to have a fabulous time, anyway.

Jude -- Safe travels

2/17/11QOTD-What are your plans for next Thursday 2/25/11.

Next Thursday I will run 2M before work, then I have a meeting that should take most of my morning. I'm leaving at noon, and spending the afternoon with ds and Chewie, and doing my final packing. After dinner I'll go over all the final things dh has to remember (ds has an orthodontist appt. Friday morning, pick me up at the airport, etc.). Then I plan to enjoy The Big Bang Theory, read a little, and get to bed early!

What will you be doing on Wednesday 2/23/11?

Wednesday is a regular work day for me. I will run 3M before work (I'm on taper, my normal Wed. run is 4!), and then head in to finish up whatever I can so I can minimize what I come back to. At this point I will be incapable of paying much attention at work. After work I will be continuing (I put a load in the washer every morning before I go to work), and making sure any last minute errands have been run (library, CVS, etc.). Then I'll settle in to watch The Middle and Modern Family, before a little reading and a good night's rest

Ok, so I survived yesterday ok, but it was a long one. The presentation at ds's school was actually good, they have a choice of modern foreign language -- Spanish, French, Italian, German or Chinese. They have to stick with it for 4 yrs, so they'd better choose well If they are not in band/orchestra or chorus, they are automatically in Theater. This will be popular with my ds, who is in the Improv Club and loves it!

The meeting at church was fine -- I like the new pastor, but there are some people who are going to have issues with her. Theological issues -- which I think is not necessarily awful, it's good to hear different points of view and be able to think your way to your own opinion -- or at least that's my opinion...I didn't get home until 10pm, and by that time the ability to eat a full meal was beyond me. I had some popchips and a couple of Godiva squares, and called it a day. All within my points for the day, by the way!

To my surprise, after going to be at 11pm, I actually did wake up at 5! I got up and did 3M on the TM, and here I am...guess I'll have to get to my work soon

I had my usual breakfast, and I'm having the salmon and rice for lunch. I'm having mac and cheese (a WW recipe) for dinner, and then I'll finish up with a serving of bbq popchips and a WW dark chocolate/raspberry ice cream treat while I watch The Big Bang Theory (it's a habit, but not a really bad one...). OP all day in my quest for that loss!

Next thursday, which is actually the 24th,

Ya know people on vacation don't care what date it is! Didn't even notice!

Not sure if you wanted a direct response to all of the above but Im a bit chatty today. Thanks for summing it all up for us Lisa. I seriously can not wait!!!!!

Well, of course, I wanted a response to everything! Why oh why do we have to work for a living?

Lisa -- Great list of Meets. I'm looking forward to making what I can...my flight doesn't land until 10:40 Friday, so I don't know if you guys will still be at the Expo by the time I make it there. I'll have my WISH lime green sling bag on my back, so point and laugh if you see me!

We'll keep in touch by text! And I bet Chewie would be fascinated to hear all your plans, even if the other guys in your house are not.

If you can stream music at the office you should check out www.d-cot.com Just finished listening to Magic Kingdom Entrance Loop -- now I have that happy, just walking in the gates feeling!

Have a great day Princesses!

You are so in control of your eating you will definitely hit your goal. Have a great day.

I tried this and can you believe the my network blocks the site. I guess they now if I listen to this music at work I definitely would not be getting anything done.

 

[Rose&Mike]

I need to go back and do replies, but I'm sitting here with ice on my foot waiting for Mike to come back with some decaf coffee. I think I accidentally got some gluten yesterday. Last night after dinner my stomach felt off and I have spent today with a big lump again that you can see. The good thing (I guess) is that I have barely eaten today. I just am not sure what I ate yesterday that made me sick. Mike thinks it might be the g-f flour--a lot of people on one of the websites said that this brand is terrible about cross-contamination. Or I guess it could have been the cornmeal. I don't know, but I wonder how I walked around like this for so long. I guess I had forgotten what it felt like to feel good.

My sister is definitely not coming. What a year!

Ok, Mike is back. I'm going to drink my coffee, get a shower and then I'll be back later to catch up.
