Celebrating Comfort and Joy ~ Early December 2012 *UPDATED 11/25*(LifeUpdate 11/28)

Hey there! Subbing in!!
Congrats on getting your ARDs!! I was going to say that 1900 PF dinner was good when we had it last trip, but I probably wouldn't have paid OOP. An $80+ meal!!

Your DD is super cute!!! I can't wait to see her outfits! And now you've got me thinking that we'll need semi-matching shirts for in front of the castle, too!

I hope you feel better! Allergies are no fun! Also, how's the weight loss going? If you want some advice/help I would be happy to help! My husband and I did a program and I lost 8 pounds in 24 days (down to a size 4 ) and my DH lost 21 pounds!! Men... Send me a message!

Sorry I disappeared for a little while, I am still occansionally getting the dizzy spells just not as bad. I had to get ready for our yard sale where I made a whole $12 lol my sister made a lot tho she also had a ton to sell. Then it was Father's Day weekend too and I was busy getting together with both sides of the family. I also had my tooth filling fall out while brushing my teeth on Friday and have an appointment to get it fixed tomorrow.

BDL ~ Those pics are awesome! If she is still into monkeys in December we will have to find them.

Amandaluvsgoofy ~ Welcome!!!! Excited to have another new reader!!

Thanks about the ADRs we are planning on next trip doing 1900 Park Fare since it didnt make the cut this year plus it gives me time to get her into the princesses.

Thank you! I am hoping to do a reversible dress and then different color but same Mickey head snowflake shirts for in front of the castle.

I am feeling better thank you! The plan for the weight loss is going well! I have only been drinking one 12 oz soda a day which is HUGE for me. I mainly drink water now. I haven't really lost weight yet but I am improving my eating habits which I know will keep me from putting it back on later when I do lose some! I am doing a weekly eating challenge this week and next before starting the diet portions next and I have been way more active but I have not started exercising because of the dizzy spells but I hope to really start that in a week or two.

debrapagliasotti ~ Welcome!!! Another reader woohooo!!! Thanks!

Bummer about the garage sale & the dizzy spells.....but BOOOOOOOO on the dental issues!!!! I'm not a fan of the dentists!!!! Hope things go well for you tomorrow!!

I need to do what you're doing.....give up the soda. I live on it. I could go all day without eating. I'm gonna try and just have my pepsi to start my day (caffeine) and then switch to water. Just doing that would probably help me immensely (weight & tummy issues).

Continued good luck......weight loss is not an easy thing (and gets harder the older you get....blah)

Wishing you success with weight loss. I still have the pounds I put on from having my DD. It's time to get them off. I think my diet is mostly okay, but I just need to exercise more. It's just hard after work and taking care of DD. After that, I just want to curl on the couch. Got to get moving!

Just letting you know you aren't alone!

I am not a fan of the dentist either, it actually took me a while to find one I that works well for me. She knows that I am afraid of needles so I bring my iPod but in my headphones close my eyes and she knows to tap me if she needs my attention but rarely does. I actually have a lot of work left to get done on my chart and I am going to try to get it done starting in September. Thanks for the dentist well wishes made me smile before I went.

I actually do my soda at dinner but I think I am going to change it to lunch as I think it is keeping me awake at night. I have actually found that the water itself works better for me than caffine did.

Thanks for the weight loss well wishes. The food Challenge I am doing today is Thristy Thrusday so you are supposed to drink nothing but water all day.

Thanks for the weight loss well wishes. I have a hard time getting up and exercising even with being a stay at home mom after I am done doing everything in the house and when DH gets home I want to spend time on the couch with him and not exercise. I really need to exercise during naptime but something always comes up. I will get moving tho.

Thanks it always helps to know you are not alone in anything!

Awesome pins!! I love the Anniversary one and Mother's day!

I can kick myself for not getting a 40th anniversary pin when I was at DTD last summer. Wah. I did get a 40th anniversary ears hat though.

We are going to blink and be buying 50th anniversary stuff!

Thank you! I love the memories associated with them.

I saw those ears and I liked them but I just didn't know. I know this is gonna sund crazy but I still don't have the classic ears of any kind, something I intend on fixing this trip.

Funny story, I really wanted one of the Disney Dooney bags and DH was going to get me the 40th anniversary one and I told him to wait because they would probably do a 50th one and I would rather have that one.

I hear you about the D&B...but have you seen the NEW designs coming out next month that are WDW related? SO CUTE!!!

You need to get ears. It is a must. I am not even sure if I can talk to a supposed Disney park lover who doesn't own EARS!?!?!

Yes, I have seen them and they are awesome!!

I have ears just not classic one, I have the headband Minnie bridal ones and Mickey Sorcerer ones from Fantasmic!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Nice pins!! I'm impressed they're still on the cards!! Most of mine are in a big pin holder......but I'm thinking, all that money tied up in these pins....I really should display them. So I'm gonna start doing window boxes of them. I probably have 100 pins at this point. (not sure of the count) Why hide them??

Thanks! The ones on the cards with exception to the 2011 Stitch one are pins that I plan on keeping.

I love the idea of displaying them!

Sharing time

This has nothing to do with my pre-trip report or Disney but I want to share two photos of DD. One is from today, we went to get her haircut and its just sooo cute!

The other is part of the reason we call her a Tower of Terror.

Hope you guys enjoy!

 

[Leshaface]

I'm SO glad that you got the Le Cellier ressie! Is there any way to make your Tusker House ADR a little earlier. It looks like you only have four hours in between meals...you need to be hungry for Le Cellier!

Love all the pins! I want to get started on collecting them, but am worried i'll become so obsessed with it, that i'll spend thousands of dollars

 

[blessedmom4]

Annabelle is simply too adorable, I love both pics and her hair is so cute. LOVE your pins, just love my Disney pins.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Annabelle is adorable!!! Was that her diaper in her hand?? We have 2 of them that do that........ugh!!

Thanks! No, we are not early risers but I was already considering moving it to another day.

Thanks. Hahaha I am scared if I was trading I would spend a ton!

Thank you, Judy!!!!

Thank you!!! Yes and shorts in her other hand. Thankfully we have caught her every time before she made a mess in her crib. I'm sorry, that has to be rough.
