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

[lisah0711]

My bags are packed . . . I'm ready to go!

Lindsay, hope Nick is feeling better today. You definately want to do the dance when you leave the office.

Rose, the Expo opens at 10 am. The buses start at 9:00 am or 9:30 am I think. It's freezing here. I am sure they will have to deice the plane this morning.

Maria, hope the Glee episode went well. DS recently informed me that I have an uncanny ability to turn any conversation into a lecture about sex. He's not that interested in girls, I have to do it before his brain shuts off! Congrats on your great weigh in, too.

Kathy, safe travels. I will call you tomorrow.

Jude, Jen, Corinna safe journey.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

I'm still here! Quick post before I head in to work...

Lisa -- Have you checked the Donald Thread? I couldn't be prouder to be following you -- you are # 2 on the BL list this week! Great Job! Glee was a little disturbing, but they finally got to the message that drinking when you're a teen leads to very bad places....

Lindsay -- I'll be hangin' later, I'm sure you are all chomping at the bit to hear the mundane details of what I can't find yet to pack...

Rose -- I hope the food comes easier to you today...remember, it's a fresh start!

Safe Travels to all the Princesses headed out and en route today!

Maria

 

[mikamah]

I'm all ready but michael is crying because i cut his toenails. Like really michaeel, you're 9. Get over it.
I know it's excitement, overtired craziness. I'm taking a deep breath and heading to the most magical place on earth.

Cooking him a good breakfast and crossing my fingers once we're out of here, he'll be just fine. I'd so rather he have his meltdowns here with me alone.

Lindsay- Hope ds is better today. Good luck and safe travels tomorrow!1

Rose- glad you're feeling positive today!! You'll be there tomorrow!! YAY!!

Lisa- hope you have a smooth flight.

See you all real soon!!!!!

I'm going to miss my computer until the race. It's only 2 days till I see you all at the expo.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Kathy! -- I hope your travel goes as smoothly as possible, it's always harder to travel with tweens! I'm sure Michael will perk up when he sees Logan, that always does it for me! Have a bunch of fun before I see you!

Maria

Good Morning Princessess!

Wow I cant believe this time is here. It really just hit me this morning.

Lisa and Kathy- I hope you have great flights today. Have fun! It looks like it will be highs in the mid 80's. Wow I didnt think it would be this warm! I'll take it though.

Maria I forgot I wanted to provide you with a definition of what gretzy means so if you feel adventurous you can use it in the future.

Gretzy= being irritable, moody, whiny etc. This just cracked me up that no one other than rose ever heard that before. I feel so foreign.

Anyway, Nick slept all night. He still has a cough and it quite moody aka gretzy. But I think he is on the mend. Thank goodness.

I am so excited to get through this last day of work. I hope it goes fast. I am going to old navy over lunch in the hopes of finding capris or shorts. I also want to stop at CVS and get a pink toenail polish and give myself a pedi tonight. Tomorrow I will take the kids to school for the morning. RUN!!! Go to the grocery store the boys have things to eat this wkend. Pick them up from school and hang with them. Then I will be off to the airport by 345p.

Rose we are expecting rain tomorrow late afternoon too. I am nervous about flying in general so hopefully it is a smooth ride. I hate turbulance.

Maria- I also wanted to say how cute chewie is. I got your picture mail and i was like why did someone just send me a pic of a cat. Then after I saw all the comments to you I realized that was from you.

Ok well I better getting working. TTYL

 

[Rose&Mike]

Ok, today is going good so far. Been to the Y. Did 2 miles on the elliptical and a 2 mile easy run. Did 2 loads of laundry. Updated the BL threads with the weight results. Painted my toenails pink--great minds think alike Lindsay! Just be careful you don't cut too short! Time to do some more packing.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Me again. Finished the laundry--did the sheets and towels. Printed my excel itinerary, and got everything ready to go in the backpacks--except a hat for Mike. I think... And I dusted my room. Still need to clean up my bathroom. At this rate I will have some time to sit around and do nothing for a few minutes before we leave tomorrow!

Anyhow, I discovered this little trick while packing--maybe I'm the last one to know this. We try to do only carryons--for many reasons. So, l put a lot of things in zip lock bags. Well, I put all my undies in one of the bags and went I went to push the air out of the bag, I discovered if you barely have the bag cracked it creates a kind of vacuum and makes everything really flat and compact. Very cool! I just opened up some room in suitcase and backpack!

Ok, time to get productive again!

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Hello Precious Princess Pals! (made all the more precious since we are few...)

Rose -- Great job on the I still need to get there! I haven't decided what color for my toes yet, my hands are going to be bright violet. I'll have to see what's in the bin, and then decide if I need a trip to CVS

Lindsay -- Thank you, I now feel like I understand gretzy and can use it in a sentence Good luck with your lunch shopping trip! I have to "shop" the summer clothes bin in my attic, I haven't been up there yet, it's a high priority for when I get home from work. Glad you enjoyed Chewie. I'm like a mom with a new baby, I'll show him to people whether they want to see him or not! So glad to hear Nick is feeling better. Poor little guy!

Hopefully Kathy, JenA and Lisa are travelling swiftly and safely, Jude is lovin' that beach, and the rest of us will remember everything we want to bring! I just thought to put snack-size ziplock bags on my list. I can't seem to find my WISH sling bag, which is a huge bummer. I may end up bringing my bag from the 2010 Half, which is mesh and pretty nice, as those bags go...

I'm pleased to say I popped out of bed this morning and did 3M. I have one more 2M tomorrow morning, and that is all she wrote!

This is my last full day at work, and it's going pretty well. I was hoping to be a bit farther along, but I have to wait on a few things...really hoping to finish a project today so I can forget about it and enjoy my trip...

Speaking of work, I'd better do a few more things

Maria

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

Only 3 more hours of work left for me. I have a few more things to do and I can leave with piece of mind.

I got a pair of black bermuda cargo style shorts at Old Navy and a pair of jean capris-which I love. I had to buy a 14 and everything else lately has been a 12. I am telling myself its just the cut of the pants. Typically this would bother me but who cares....Im going to DisneyWorld.

Rose glad your getting the stuff done with time to spare. Have fun tonight at your event.

Maria I hope you get your project done so you can rest easy.

TTYL

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Just waiting for the courier to take the package away...I am done! Well, almost, still have to show up tomorrow to meet the new project manager, but that and a few loose and I'll be out of here!

Maria

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

Glad you got finished Maria. I ended up leaving work an hour early. Just couldnt contain my excitement anymore so I had to leave.

So I am officially now on vacation!!!!!

I painted my toenails tonight a bright pink color. I clipped the boys nails, wrote instructions for dh....didnt think I had to do this but he apparently has been paying attention to the details of our everday life and now he needs instructions., I am now going to clean off my memory card for the camera. I am pretty much packed except a few odds and ends. We did online check in with air tran and have our boarding passess. I think its all coming together.

I hope the two of you are enjoying your night. Talk to you tomorrow.

 

[lisah0711]

Quick post to say that I am here. I am enjoying a glass of wine in my room and adjusting to EST. Just beat a big snowstorm in Idaho -- I hear it might be a snow day tomorrow. Can't wait to see you all soon! Will catch up more tomorrow.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Lindsay--woohoo for being on vacation!

Lisa--glad you made it safely and beat that snowstorm. I'm guessing that's where our nasty rain is coming from tomorrow.

Maria--and then there were two... Glad the project is getting wrapped up.

I am packed, my house is somewhat in order. The event went well tonight. So I just need to go in for a couple of hours tomorrow morning, and then I'm done! It looks like the really bad weather might hold off until tomorrow night--severe storm watches are out, so hopefully we will have no problems.

Talk to you tomorrow.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Good morning! Woke up way too early today. I think we are going to take our throw away sweats out of our carryons. The low is supposed to be 60, and I think we will be fine!

Lindsay--safe travels today!
Maria--have a good day!
Corinna--if you haven't left yet, have a good trip!

It's already raining. They are expecting 3-5 inches in the next 24 hours. No severe weather until tonight. It's going to be a very soggy day.

Have a great day everyone! Tomorrow I will be waking up at BW, and having breakfast at Fresh Market! Can't wait!

Rose I was thinking the same thing. I may still take my sweatshirt/jacket that I had planned on but the pants I am definitely taking out. I hope the rain doesnt affect your flight. Did you realize that our flights are not landing too far apart. If you are delayed by just a few minutes and mine is early by a few there is a good possibility we could run into each other in the ME lines. You never know....so keep your eyes open. Our flight is suppose to land at 819. Im sure we will be back on here but just incase I miss you have a safe flight. See you there tomorrow.

Well last night nick vomited all over his bed and then had diarrhea this morning. He seems ok now so hopefully that will be a one time thing. I didnt sleep all that great because of it and wish I could be more rested to start my trip but thats life.

I am going to take ryan and nick into school now so I can run, go grocery shopping, and stop at the bank. I will pick them both up by noon. Then we are having lunch at subway (hope nick is still ok). Then I will send a few hours with them and doing some dishes too. We will head off to the airport at 345p. I hope I dont become a blubbering idiot when I have to say goodbye to the boys. I am already tearing up thinking about it.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Lindsay--goodness, poor Nick. He has not had a good week. I hope you aren't too sad at the airport. Have a safe flight!

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Good Morning!

A quick post before I go to work...although I have the feeling I'm going to be the only one once I get there...

Lindsay -- I am so sorry Nick is so ill just as you are leaving. I do hope the worst has passed and tonight he will have a lovely, restful sleep -- and so will you, at your resort! Safe Travels, and when you get settled in your seat on the plane, take a deep breath and relax!

Rose -- I had already decided to take the pants out. I run in a singlet, so I'm leaving the sweatshirt jacket in. 60 is warm, but my arms will be cold standing around for an hour...I'll just shed it along the way when I'm ready. Glad the event went well, you can leave work on a good note! And sorry about the , but glad it shouldn't impact your flight. That rain will be here tomorrow, but I think I'll get out without a hitch. I'm glad my flight is early in the day, though. Please travel safe and well, and enjoy that BW breakfast tomorrow morning!

Lisa -- So glad you made it and beat the storm! I hope you have a fabulous day, enjoy the FL sunshine, and ride something whimsical for me!

I got up and did my 2M this morning, it felt like I barely started and I was done. The good thing is it got me moving, which I need to keep doing all day. I'm working this morning, I have a hair appt. at 2, and then I can start packing, once my moves along. I have to go get my dh at work at 5, then I'll settle in for the final pack, clean the rooms I feel are absolutely necessary (that would be the main bathroom, for sure), and hopefully watch some Tivo with ds. Actually, I'm glad to have plenty to do -- hopefully I won't get too antsy since my mind will be occupied...

Hi Princesses Racers! I'm still here and still at home. I honestly don't know where the time has gone, except that maybe I've been using my DIS time for books just recently.


I'll be arriving Friday night and up early cheering for the 5K on Saturday with Racey Tracy, then off to the Expo and Packet Pick-up, and finally - ta da! - 4pm WISH meet at All Star Sports Food Court!

In the meantime....I've got some packing to do.

Rose - I think it is the right call to pull most of your sweats. It will be cool for waiting around outside, but it won't be freezing our tooties off, at least! What a refreshing change!

Except that it will be less refreshing - it's not going to be PR weather for me, but it will be very enjoyable!

 

[lisah0711]

Good morning Princesses!

It's a beautiful morning in WDW! I'm off to AK then to Epcot. Maria, I'm thinking EO may not be whimsical to you but how 'bout Figment?

Then there is a trip to Target in my future as my phone is not charging properly from my laptop and I forgot my hairbrush. I'm sporting that tousled look!

Lindsay, sorry that Nick is still sick. My DS was sick lots of times when I was travelling and he and his Dad both did just fine. Relax and enjoy your time. Safe travels.

Safe travels to you, too, today, Rose. And to Corinna and Maria tomorrow.

Kathy doesn't have computer access now. Jen and Jude hope you have safely arrived.

Good luck getting it all done Maria. I feel the same way about having stuff to do. Otherwise I would be going crazy. Have a good day.

Have a good day corinna. Thanks for checking in. Have a safe trip tomorrow.

Hi Lisa!!!! Glad you are having a great time. I cant wait to be there too. That stinks about your phone and there is always 1 thing that I forget too. Last trip it was my sunglassess. Hopefully I can remember everything this time. Thanks so much for your comments about nick being sick. You always find a way to make me feel better. Have fun today.

Rose- So far nick seems better today so hopefully he will be ok. Dh commented last night to nick that at least he did it then when mommy was home. My dh cant deal with vomit. What a man...I'll tell ya.

Ok well I am now heading out to run. TTYL
