[eeyore45]

Look how close to 5,000 I am!!

So here at the convention, bunches of strangers gathering, with the common thread of listening to a radio station....

I made conversation with the lady next to me before the walk, we walked together, then talked.. I mentioned my ds who is hard of hearing... her brother is deaf... when we sit for dinner, we often find a common thread amongst us... I'm always in awe of how God works in my life.

Last night a big problem. DS doesnt have $400 necessary to pay the rent (he's been working 20 -30 hours often at night till 3 or 4 am) and with the Winter break, no work, he thought he had it covered... but no.. well I came here, and our bank account was depleted (books for those kids, heat, gas, phone... *sigh) dh was so stressed, it was zapping my fun!! Yes, I felt guilty, but what can you do?? Give it to God of course!!

God answered our prayers - the mail came today (dh missed the train, and was not happy, he was so stressed, Bless his heart!!) He called, my paycheck came in the mail - "OPEN IT, and put it in the bank!!" he opens it... (usually I work 3 days, and yes I took off work, so I knew it was only around $200... nope... I GOT A BONUS!! $400 paycheck baby!!

can I get an AMEN!! PTL!!

[mousehouselover]

I am stuck right here in my fat pants

I know it'n not very funny, but this sounds like a TF tag to me!

country.Just because it looks like chocolate and smells like chocolate, if it's written in chinese, it tastes NOTHING like chocolate

I have one that's worse but I don't want to gross anyone out.

Too bad I am still scrapbooking 2005

I'm with Pixie and still scrapping the 90's. All my kiddos are more than a decade old.

Well I am off to work out and then supervise 14 kids at my DDs birthday party.She is 8 years old today!

Happy Birthday! and sanity to the busy Mama

After reading my first sentence above, did you think the tooth fairy left money twice on the same kid? Like, her DH didnt think she remembered and did it himself? THAT would be sooooo likely. Either that or having the Tooth Fairy plumb-forget her duties (much more likely). Or there was the time the Tooth Fairy gave the $20 in her wallet instead of the $5 because it was too dark and she's dingy. Happy kid, though!

DD#2 put DH on the spot about why she still had her tooth under her pillow and the only thing he could think to tell her was that the tooth fairy sent the money via paypal.......

I also have a bracelet with a hanging charm on it on a clasp that I move as I use my daily points. Hard to describe, but WW used to sell them, if I think of it I will post a pic later. They are basically just beads, so I made some prettier versions myself. I think it helps to constantly remind me of my goals to feel it on all day.

That sounds kind of neat, I'll have to play around with the idea a bit. Maybe I can find Minnie charms for them.

I GOT IN THEM!!!

WOOO HOOOOTY DisAmy!

DizneyDawn - your children are BEAUTIFUL! I have a 13 year old DD too!

I second that! I didn't think she was 13 when I first opened the page. There's also a 13 yr old here too. I think there's 4 or 5 of us with 13 yo DDs.

Oh yes...13. We were at Downtown Disney 4 days before her B-day in Aug. and some college guys asked her if she was going to Pleasure Island. They did not realise I was with her...I came up from behind...overheard them and explained in my nicest Princess voice..."If you think you are taking a 12 year old out clubbin...the only pleasure you will ever get is drinking through a straw for the rest of your life."


You are so right about not being pleased with what you have for a body type. Carsyn went from an A to a C Bra this summer and when Miss. Victoria Secret measured her and came out all triumphant, sharing glorious news of my 13 year old DD bust dimensions ...I wanted to choke her with an XS thong!

Boy situation nicely handled. DH agreed with your remarks too. I was about the Miss VS thing. I'm sure the XS thong would fit quite nicely around her little neck too.


Sandy~ WOOOO HOOOTY on losing a size! Make sure you get a wish clippie for your siggie. Thanks for the song lyrics. "That sounds about right."-Walt

Harley~ 400 posts WOOO HOOOOTY!!!!

Stacy~ I got a new car in Nov, we got a CD player too and I love it. I feel like I'm finally caught up to the times.

About the PEEPs meet and 5K~ I am still planning on being there. I'll be solo though so a roommate is fine by me. For anyone who's concerned about being able to do it, set the speed on your TM for 3mph. To finish in 1 hr, you have to walk just a bit faster than that. We have 49 weeks until the 5K, we can do this! If you go that speed for 5 mins and add 5 mins every week, you'll be at 60 mins by the end of April.

I've been pretty good today. I slipped up and had a piece of coffee cake at Dream Dinners this morning when I was making my meals..... But I only had 1 pt of breakfast and then i had a bowl of 0pt soup with 3 pts of wheat crackers and a 2 pt WW ice cream sandwich. It's dinner time and I still have about 10 pts left. I'm also almost finished with my 2nd liter of water. Yay me! I usually slack off with the water on the weekends.

I may have a new walking buddy. One of my dogs is looking a bit round these days. We've cut back her food but her love handles aren't going anywhere. I didn't think she was lacking for exercise, after all there's several other dogs to play with. When it's warm enough for us to be outside, I'll have to load her into the car and head for the trails here in town. (I'm not brave like Sandy, it has to be at least 50 degrees for me to be outside.)

GUESS WHAT??? Here's a hint: I have managed to weasel a DisneyLand trip in for 20 days from now!!!!!! YAY!!!! It's a weekender, Feb 23-27th...

It'll be Riley's 7th birthday and my sister in California just had a baby at Christmas time and she INSISTS we stay in her brand new house in Riverside! No problem there!!!! So, I want to make 3 ADR's for DisneyLand and California Adventure. Do people do that? I've never ADR'd California but I really want to take my family to that Blue Bayou inside POC. Do they have LTT there? I gotta do some homework!

Oh, and we're driving! Send me all your post-surgery leftover pain meds ASAP so I will be pleasant for the drive. OR, we'll drag out the DVD players and Duct Tape. That is a boring drive through Nevada, just endless miles of Yucca and sagebrush .




I gotta do a ticker! Here's My rough draft:

20 days till Family Fun Road Trip with Duct Tape and Percocet:

 

[lexmelinda]

20 days till Family Fun Road Trip with Duct Tape and Percocet:

YYYAAAAYYYYY!!!!!
How far is the drive??? PM Disneyland_Mama....she lives 15 min. from Disneyland and goes once a week. She can be Tour Guide Tracy for your DL trip!

 

[mousehouselover]

UTM~ WTG on the trip!!!!! I'd love to go with you. Happy planning!

I know a few peeps asked about the soup recipe since I asked about the pts for it. Here it is:

Garden Vegetable Soup

Makes 4 servings/about 1 cup each

Ingredients

2/3 cup sliced carrot
1/2 cup diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable)
1-1/2 cups diced green cabbage
1/2 cup green beans
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup diced zucchini

1. In large saucepan, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, sauté carrot, onion, and garlic over low heat until softened; about 5 minutes.

2. Add broth, cabbage, beans, tomato paste, basil, oregano and salt; bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until beans are tender.

3. Stir in zucchini and heat 3 - 4 minutes. Serve hot.

POINTS: 0

DH makes it in the crock pot and it's really easy. We have a double recipe which seems to last the 2 of us about 3 days. We have about 2 cups whenever we have it for a meal. It's really filling so we don't feel like we need to eat much else. Oh, we also put in stewed tomatos instead of the paste. I like chunky tomatos better. The really good ones have the onions and basil already in them. Yum!

 

[pigget74]

I will put a list together of who is going to the meet in Jan. Just pm me and let me know the following--which race you are doing, are you a cheerleader, do you need a roomate. Also let me know which days you are going. I love to organize stuff. Sorry if someone is already compiling a list.


UM that is awesome--I have some leftovers form my terrible bout with mirgraines--good pain stuff Seriously I hope that you guys have a great time and I am already anticipating a great trip report.

Harley WOOOOO HOOOTY

 

[lexmelinda]

WOO HOOTY, HARLEY!!!​

Gotta go back and catch up...feel like I've missed some things.

SANDY....Love Wicked!!! DD bought the soundtrack on CD in SC this summer and we listened to it all the way home. (When we were reading the words you posted, she ran upstairs to get it and realized her hermit crab was dead. Lots of screaming/crying, mascara running. The drama that is .......13!?! Calgon, take me away!)

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return

SO TRUE!!!

 

[the Fidge]

Percocet???UTAH YOU HAVE TO GET THAT FROM A DOCTOR!!!...hint hint nudge nudge...simply sublte

 

[the Fidge]

SANDY: Woo Hooty for the 400 dollars very great news!!! Have fun !!!! Miss ya!!!

Hi - I wanted to say hi after a crazy, busy work week! I have just gotten Bee to help me figure out how and what to do to link pics. I actually had a good eating week. Will hope to be better in touch next!

Dawn- Very nice job in posting the pictures. You learn well!!

GUESS WHAT??? Here's a hint: I have managed to weasel a DisneyLand trip in for 20 days from now!!!!!! YAY!!!! It's a weekender, Feb 23-27th...

Wooo Hooooty!!

 

[UtahMama]

I'm waiting for TwinkieMama to text me back. I am restraining myself from calling her every 5 minutes to ask what she's doing or what ride she's on!!!!

We went to a Disney crap outlet (not the Disney store). It's set up as a temporary store that sells Disney Land and WDW park stuff. There's lots of 50th year celebration stuff for cheap. I got a lime and pink Minnie Mouse shirt that's pretty cute. Norah got her standard Pink Princess shirts and 2 hoodies. The boys all got a couple shirts too. We dont have a Disney Store so it was the best we could do.

I've been on the DisneyLand threads planning. I've been there literally 100 or so times, but only twice in the last 10 years. Very exciting. Splash Mtn. closed, though.

DisneyLandMama!!!!! Are you going the last weekend in feb. too?

 

[monymony3471]

can I get a WOOO HOOTY on my 400th post!!!

Congratulations! Well done. Here's to many more!

 

[aries1980]

Checkin all to you peeps.... I promise i will be on more soon. Things have been a little crazy here with my side job and scrapping and other things.

 

[eeyore45]

In case anyone has forgotten.. I am in Chicago... and since I learned so much from my Texas relatives about football, and since Ditka was a coach of the Cowboys, and dear Landry was sacked from the Cowboys, and whereas Ditka became head coach of said Bears... there fore...

Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory;
Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.
We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation.
Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you're wearing the crown.
You're the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, bear down

GO BEARS

Peeps! I'm so glad to be back reading. My computer was giving me serious issues tonight and I had to restart it 3 times! Now I have even more reason (aka excuse) to buy that laptop .

I forgot to mention earlier that I made the muffins yesterday. I love them! I'm just scared to eat too many at once but I had 4 yesterday and drank a ton of water and nothing happened so I think I'm ok. Not that I'll eat 4 everyday. I only had one this afternoon. Hi my name is Shannon and I'm addicted to muffins.

I was pretty good foodwise today. I had a WW smoothie for breakfast, lunch/dinner was out at Sweet Tomatoes (also called SoupPlantation in other areas) and I sacrificed some of my favorite bad for you dishes for more of the healthier stuff, counted all my points and I have 3 left over still. I'm hungry so I think I'm going to make an english muffin. Not the best to eat so close to bed but I fell asleep studying earlier so I don't think I'm going to bed anytime soon. Ok, I'm officially rambling.

UMama - for your disneyland trip. I haven't made it out there yet. So what's the situation with the you know what that you told us yesterday? Have it checked out? We're just concerned.

Some of you have left me really nice messages or comments on my myspace page - thanks! I appreciate it .

I might be back on later if I can't sleep if not, nighty night!

*Shannon

 

[aldisneygrl]

Stacey - Congrats on the new car! What kind is it? Where in AL did he come to get it? How close are you to AL? Congrats on the loan forgiveness. At least something good came out of that awful tragedy.

Eeyore - Congrats on your extra money! Isn't it wonderful when God shows us that he is in control and watching over us. I just love you. You have so many words of wisdom and are so encouraging to me.

UM - As everyone has said, Go Get that Checked! I have a funny Tooth Fairy story from last weekend. DD finally lost one of her teeth last Saturday morning. She needed to loose it because it had a cavity in it. The dentist didn't remove it because he said she would lose it soon. Well, she put it in a cup on her dresser. That way the TF could find it easily. Well, we woke up Sun. morning to a big crash and floods of tears. I rolled over and asked DH "Did you put TF money upstairs last night?" He looked at me and said no, well I didn't either. I told him that maybe she just fell out of the bed. I went upstairs and DD was very upset because the TF didn't come. I told her that maybe the TF was very busy and ran out of time. She said no it was because her brother was up late and she wouldn't come while he was awake. I thought that was funny, but I didn't dare laugh.

DS woke up not feeling very good, so he and DH stayed home during bible class while DD and I went. I wrote out a note with my left hand (I'm right handed) and said that I was sorry I couldn't come last night because I was so busy. I saw that you and your family were gone to church, so I decided to come by and leave your money along with a bonus! Love, The Tooth Fairy.

I told DH to sprinkle some silver glitter on the note for added effect. Well, when we got home from church, she said that Daddy got on to her for making a mess. She said it wasn't her that made it but the TF! DH had sprinkled the glitter all the way up the stairs to her room. We have restored her faith in the TF once again. It probably won't be for much longer, but I couldn't live with her finding out the truth because I forgot!

This is also the child that knocked out her tooth at 10 months while pulling up on my kitchen table with me and my DMIL sitting there! She swallowed it, and we found it two days later in her poop. I got it out and cleaned it up and it is in her baby book. She is so proud of that tooth. She tells everyone she can about that story.

And congrats on the last minute DL trip! Is that in addition to yours and spongies trip?


I am still on the fence about the Fun Run. I would like to come, and would probably be on my own, so I would be in the market for a roomie.


I am having a problem with my PMs today. It says that I have 1 unread, but there aren't any "bold" ones in my inbox. Is there somewhere else it could be? If someone could help me that would be great?

Before I catch up for today:

CONFESSION TIME

I ate 4 bites of king cake with 2 bites of real ice cream. Then I came home and ate about 4 pieces of homemade candy that I made for the Super Bowl party at church. We had to attend a party tonight. Hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, potato salad, rotel and chips. I ate my burger with no bun, one tiny spoon of beans, two small spoons of potatoes, and 3 chips with rotel. I drank water. I am so ashamed. And tomorrow I already planned to cheat at the party. So I am drinking large quantities of water and metamucil!

I went grocery shopping today. And I have come to the conclusion that dieting is expensive! Have you noticed how much cheaper Little Debbie Snacks are compared to say, Weight Watchers snacks!

Thanks to everyone who PM'ed me your Myspaces! I loved seeing everyone's and now I have some friends over the age of 16!

Okay, now I will try to catch up!
