hi ya'll from Pigeon Forge again. Just got thru re-arranging the trunk from all the purchases the past few days. Needed to make sure we had room for our luggage

discovered I am a Disney snob. We always wanted to check out Dollywood but never have in the past when we have visited so we decided to try it tonight. We saw one of the shows - Babes in Toyland. As I was sitting there, I kept comparing it to Disney shows and found myself slightly disappointed in the entertainment at Dollywood. We walked around the park & kept saying "This isn't like Disney" or "Disney does this better" So I guess I am an official Disney snob now.. Oh well - at least we can say we tried Dollywood. Been there - not doing it again...

For those of you not on FB...my dad had a heart attack of some kind last night. We aren't completely convinced of it, but the docs claim that he did. All of the tests that were run on him came back completely normal...no indicators of a heart attack, but they did do one or two stents anyway. There was 85% blockage in two areas...one of those areas was a previous stent that had since been covered in plaque again. They put in a new one and strongly advised that he take heed and change his diet and QUIT SMOKING! Believe me...we've tried to get him to quit many, many, many times. He quits for a bit but goes right back to it. Drives us all nuts...my brother took away all of his cigarettes and told him that he doesn't care how much he begs and pleads, he won't be getting them back from him. Now to tell everyone else that dad comes into contact with...

He's fine now...already at home! I just hope that this was the one that "takes" and makes him realize what he's doing to himself...

It's been a long two days...dealing with this via phone calls and preparing for my niece and nephew's birthday party today...I am exhausted and don't feel well. I'm going to curl up in bed and watch Twilight. Talk to y'all later!

Finished my couch to 5K workout. Had a bit more stamina this time. Didn't feel like I was going to pass out after.

PCC 2.0 is the same for me. It's about being with friends, not about the cruise. That is just a bonus.

CONGRATS! I did c25k twice (needed surgery on my foot after the first one and then took a year off so I had to start all over). It's amazing that I can barely make it 90 seconds and then a few weeks make it 20 min. I finished a couple months ago and am now doing the "Becoming a one hour runner" program. didn't think I'd make it 38 min, then 41 min, then 45 min, but I have. Still not sure how I'm going to get to 48 this week but I'm trusting the program to get me thru.

Sounds like there will be a lot of us doing the castaway cay 5k during 2.0

I hope your father takes heed of all the good advice and the rest of you stay strong and support his efforts.
All the best!

 

[Minnie Lor]

I'm so sorry that you've been thru so much Brandie. Lots of prayers and pixie dust for your dad. I hope that he can make the req'd changes.

 

[kathrna]

Lots of prayers headed your way. Rest well.

We are disney snobs, but love visiting other parks and areas as well. We always come back to Disney, but have found other great family fun elsewhere too. Hershey Park is fantastic!!


BrandiE! Best of luck to your dad, I have a smoker father too who has bladder cancer and still smokes. Can't talk any sense into them.

We do like hershey park. Funny thing is that we're about 15 min away from six flags and my kids have no idea.

Best wishes to your father,too, Don.

Home from work. I went to Sonic for the first time afterwards. It is probably the last time. I was not impressed. I just had to try it. I have been seeing the commercials for ages. I will say the onion rings were really good. Might try to work on some knitting tonight. Surprisingly, I am not as tired as I have been the past few nights.

Is anyone else hanging out tonight?

Kim

Hi Kim. Never done a Sonic. Not even sure where the closest one is. Will hang out for a bit.

Hey!! I like Sonic! I usually get the popcorn chicken and stay away from the hamburgers and I like their fries! They are sloooow though!

Hi Shelly. So when are you going to get the office managers job?

Well we are heading home tonight.
Got in some target practice this afternoon with that 308.
I'd say I need a lot more practice.

Hi Kat. I've got a great zombie game for the Wii. That would be fun practice for you but I'm afraid it's not something I would play in front of the boys. Language is a bit much during the cut scenes. But I've got Deb hooked on it. Scares her a bit though.

Hi Brandie. Sorry to hear about your dad but glad he is home. We've had to deal with this and thensome with my dad for the last three years. He's had multiple operations due to cadiovascular disease and heart failure. Luckily he gave up smoking when it first started because he listened to the doctors. I think the fear of God had something to do with it as well. Heart wise he is doing pretty good now. Still trying to get mom to quit but she won't. She smokes outside and in the cellar in the winter.

Rest up and enjoy your Twilight.

Thinking of you and your family B

 

[DVCsince02]

Did you miss me?

My DCL party went well. It's nice to catch up with old friends.

All this cruise talk for a double dip in 2011 has got my wheels turning. Chris just said let's go. Who do we have to talk to to make this an official group?

 

[disneydreamgirl]

Take Care, Brandie! I hope your dad fares well!

I got back about an hour ago from Buffalo. It was a very successful trip. I now have a nice pair of dress boots! I also was able to score some lovely Christmas decorations and added to my Christmas cardinal collection. My Nanna loved cardinals and it seemed an appropriate thing to collect as she loved Christmas as well. After she passed both my sister and I noticed more of these birds around our homes than in prior years, which was a comfort. I even found cardinal salt and pepper shakers - quite small and just so sweet. Lots of deals to be had and I was able to take care of a few Christmas gifts...best deal hands down was a turkey! Tops had turkeys on for 29 cents a pound We rarely see them under 1.99 a pound, and to pay about $6.50 for a 22+ pound bird just made my day!

There has been a lot of behind the scenes discussion on this topic today. PMs, phone calls, quotes. It's interesting.
