DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[Lease]

What a wonderful thread Part of the reason, not that I needed much of a reason to go to Disney, was getting in shape for the trip. So I started last June and now I'm down 100 lbs...100 it's like losing a 12 yr old and can't wait to go running through the parks. Now I'll have to find another reason to reward myself for another trip...

Wow! Congratulations. That's such a feat!



Hope you find what you need to make it to and keep your goal.

So the news with the boy is that we had a nice week together. We had lunch together and Friday we, along with another classmate, went out to lunch. I noted some secret flirting too. Then Friday I'm checking my email when low and behold...he calls me! Double He just called to talk So we talked for about 20 minutes...then he called again later that night to tell me that our test was put up on our class website and was ready to be opened. He's supposed to be heading back home (Mass.) this week for our break so I probably won't actually see him until Monday when we start the Fall semester...we're taking a class together. But he said he'd call me. So nothing major but still a sign (to me at least) that he's still interested.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!

It sounds to me he is still very interested

MOMMYBRAG - DS 21, (hard of hearing) got his first A in English!! He has worked so hard!! (as Shannon can atest - hoh kids dont hear audiotorilly (yikes spell??) so their output is off - just as you can tell from the sound of their voice - you can pick out hoh people because their voices are distinct - so is their writing style -

He got an A!!

That is awesome!!!!

OK I made my dining ressies... I didnt get them all covered yet I have to try again for BOma and for Cinderella's Royal table.

but heres the list so far.

9/23 5pm OHANA'S

9/24 8:50pm Crytal Palace

9/25 4:45pm San Angel Inn

9/26 PRAYIN for CINDERELLA's ROYAL TABLE

9/27 11:05 am Hollywood andVine

9/28 7:40pm Kona

9/29 5pm Wolfgang Puck

9/30 9am Kona-tonga toast!!!

These look great. On the 24th DS will be turning 13 and on the 30th Rebekah will be arriving at some point!!!I hope that you have a great trip. I did not care for my Tonga Toast--to greasy, but DH loved his--not greasy at all.

Sounds soooo yummy. We ate at Kona's for the first time in November for an early breakfast. I got the Tonga Toast and I still salivate at any mention of it. It was sooooooo good. I hope you get all the ressies you want.

As far as how I'm feeling about the c-section, I'm a bunch a nerves and excited at the same time. Just think I can be either holding my little one tomorrow at this time, or recovering from something, anything major.

I could be uterous less, which is no biggie to me. I just don't know how that will feel recovery wise. UMA?

I know when I see the dr for the first time in the operating room I'm gonna say, "Ready to do this one is record time?" cause Mal's took over 4 hours. He was calling in anyone he could to assist.

I hope he can feel all of God's blessings with all the prayers I've said for him this pregnancy. He has no idea how hard I've prayed for him.

I have a very high tolerence to drugs. Morphine doesn't help me one bit. My first C I felt the first cut and I stopped them and they had to give me more drugs. I hate the spinal. They won't let your husband in until after you get it and that really bugs me.

I get the shakes so bad and go through all the motions of puking while your arms are strapped down on the operating table.

Yes I've finally got it all out. I guess I am a bag of nerves.

We have all been praying for you and your Dr..

MonyMony- Monica Great big sloppy Of course you have so much going on - thank you for sharing, and I have more info as I lift you up in prayer!! Be confident in our prayers - together we are strong in prayer!! You will call on His AWESOME power - His Angels will be commanded to be around you and strengthen you - take His power my friend!! When dd was coming - it was a comedy of errors, or just one Doc with an inflated ego - anyway... for the 7 months I knew I was PG my prayer was for the night - the pushing, I knew I could handle the pregnancy incubation period, even labor pains are ok, but Dear Lord, pushing the 10#ers out, please, take that fear away - I gave it to Him, and I believed... That night, the doctor thought to start inducing me at 8am, he did not believe the n urse when she called to tell him I was in labor at midnight... then I forgot back labor and moving down the birth canal kinda is the same... but when I thought I was going to embarrass myself, dh frantically called for a nurse, I rolled over and out popped DD - and no, no one but our Dear Lord was there to catch her!! Talk about making nurses move fast!! But I did feel His presence - and you will too Monica - just trust yourself, and trust your faith - and hang on to ours when you doubt - because we know He is true!!

I'm sorry about your grandmother.

Preemies are such a miracle.

About the iPod, I love to have "Love in an elevator" on when I work out. It brings me right back to the Rock n Roller Coaster! I also like to hear "I want you to want me", ABBA, "I'm just a girl", Dixie Chicks, there's a bunch more, I just can't think of them!

I like these choices - thanks for sharing!!

Monica. I have never been pregnant or gone through childbirth so I don't have a first hand experience but I think it must be completely normal to be feeling what you are feeling...especially if in the past there were some complications.

Why won't they let DH in for your spinal?

I'm bringing out the reserves pixie dust and I'll be saying an extra prayer for you, your family and the whole medical team that it is the smoothest (and quickest) C-section ever.

When exactly will you be delivering? Are you checking in at 7...or is that the surgery time?

At school we have this saying "What do you want? What are you doing? DO THEY MATCH?"

Sandy, I love this quote! Definitely going to use it for myself!

Good morning!

I haven't caught up on everything yesterday, but need some opinions from my Peeps! I am making the centerpieces for DD's wedding and have 2 different looks. Please tell me which one you like.

I read a little further down -- you guys picked the one I would have chosen, too. I like a little greenery, sets off the other pieces.

Does anyone else who's near 40 look at your hands and wonder why your hands have been replaced by you mother's??????

Yes, unfortunately. Veiny and knotty....very attractive.

Oh wow Sandy... I just don't think of myself as an inspiration. I am so weak sometimes! Like today, I decided that today is a cheat day even though I know I shouldn't. I do write things down, and I work hard at it most of the time, but I break. And I am so afraid that I will break completely and go back to my bad habits and gain again... I have lost before and totally reversed it.

If we didn't all break sometimes, we wouldn't be human.
Kat, you are completely awesome, we love you, and don't you forget it, woman!

As far as how I'm feeling about the c-section, I'm a bunch a nerves and excited at the same time.

Very excited for you -- I'll be sending good thoughts your way tomorrow morning.

Starting a new week, peeps -- be kind to yourselves!

Think I found the perfect man today...

We both love to scuba dive, we have a lot of the same music on our iTunes, we like the same tv shows, AND he puts a lot of "..." in his emails... just like me... We exchanged rapid-fire emails from 4:21 until 7:02... 2-4 different threads bouncing back and forth, rapid fire (most people, "expesheally" guys can't keep up with me, or won't even try). During that time, he sent me 92 emails. He's funny... and he's younger than me (I'm 43... he's 36). Too bad he lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland!

Bummer! Maybe he'll relocate for you?

Dene (and others who have done the whole online dating thing)...looking for your thoughts.

Yes I am in my fake relationship with A., but we aren't exclusive by any means, so I bit the bullet and rejoined Match.com despite my not so great experiences the last time I joined.

I don't know if I'm just being too picky, but I tell you what. The people that email or wink at me are strange...and its not just the immediate lack of physical attraction. Their profiles are crazy. One guy, who I chose to overlook the fact that he looked like a serial killer, said about 5 times in his profile that he is a workaholic and mentioned a few other not so nice traits about himself. That's fine and dandy I guess but not so smart to put in your profile which is everyone's first impression of you. Another guy is harassing me and has "asked for my friendship" about 4 times, despite my "no thanks" response. Then there are the decent ones that I wink at or email and never get a response from. I don't get it. I know I deserve better then what is jumping out at me. That's for darn sure.

I guess I'm just wondering if you just go on a lot of dates despite not feeling an initial attraction from their profile and through emails, etc.? Or do you feel that attraction but then it doesn't really pan out once you meet? Make sense? I know I can be picky, but honestly, their profiles are not so flattering towards themselves.

If anyone has access to match profiles, my name there is the same as on here. Maybe someone hijacked my profile and posted "Lonely desperate girl seeks losers and weirdos"?

BB....I think my blood pressure doubles when I watch this show now. All the yelling and fighting. Good grief. And who didn't laugh out loud when Amber said "excuse me" after a burp while praying out loud alone in her room?

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Hi Everyone! Sorry that I haven't been around much lately. I've been so super busy and haven't had time to check in. I'm up 5 pounds.
I went to the campus bookstore Friday and come home with 16 nursing books and I still need 3 more that was not in stock. I brought the books home and then started laughing. I was thinking... how in the world am I going to read all of this & still have time to take care of my family?

This is not goodbye but it feels like one. My schedule is full for the entire week and then I start Nursing 101 on Friday.

I hope that everyone takes care and continues to make ground on their weight loss efforts. I will certainly try to stop in every couple of weeks to say hi and to see how everyone is doing. I'm going to miss everyone of you.

Bye.

Fran

Kat, you are completely awesome, we love you, and don't you forget it, woman!

Awwww thanks!!! I needed that today.

Think I found the perfect man today...

We both love to scuba dive, we have a lot of the same music on our iTunes, we like the same tv shows, AND he puts a lot of "..." in his emails... just like me...

Hehe! I hear Ireland is really nice...

Mony, good luck... I will be thinking of you.

Cool cover aries!

Sandy you are coming to the meet right? I can't wait to meet everyone!

I had a very, very bad eating weekend. Yesterday was Mexican and tonight was McD's. I did okay on the lunches but not dinners.

However, today we:
-cleaned out master bedroom, spare bedroom, and hall closets and drawers. HUGE bag of stuff for the goodwill!
-stripped and washed both beds
-cleaned out kitchen drawers
-put up sheers on 2 windows in the living room and the tiebacks for the curtains
-took every single frackin' thing out of the garage, cleaned it out well, and put/organized everything back in. Both cars, including my honkin' SUV, fit in now!
-mowed and edged the lawn since it was only 92 today

Whee! I am exhausted, but hopefully the hot tub will keep me from being too sore tomorrow. I am also enjoying a beer.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

[eeyore45]

DENE I just caught your edit line - DONT YOU read Harry Potter??? EVEN I know about that stuff!!! (as an aside, if dd tells dh and me one more time to get a room- I'm going to stuff her in the garage!! Trust me, pecks on cheeks is it - dd is so over dramatizing things!!

Kat where'd you get the energy?

Off to do some more planning!!

 

[denecarter]

Bummer! Maybe he'll relocate for you?

His profile does mention a desire to move to a "warmer climate"... I'd say Texas is definitely warmer!

Hehe! I hear Ireland is really nice...

He did mention that it was 16C today (that's ALMOST 61F)! His summer is my late fall/early winter temperature! Heck, we won't even get down to that at night for months!

Dene (and others who have done the whole online dating thing)...looking for your thoughts.

You got 'em! I was just talking about on-line dating to two women at a party last night... they're both tired of it... for pretty much the same reasons you're describing.

I don't know if I'm just being too picky, but I tell you what. The people that email or wink at me are strange...and its not just the immediate lack of physical attraction. Their profiles are crazy.

Uh, yeah! Lot's of weird going on. One guy that that emailed me today is either very intense/passionate or a stalker/serial killer... seriously.

Then there are the decent ones that I wink at or email and never get a response from. I don't get it. I know I deserve better then what is jumping out at me. That's for darn sure.

Yes, you do deserve better... and I HATE being ignored! I know they read my e-mail (cuz I pay extra to see that)... I know they read my profile (at least I don't have to pay to see that)... they just never respond! At least tell me "no thanks"! My friend, Beth, said there are lots more women than men on there... so they guys "have their pick" and will sometimes leave women hanging while they work on someone else.

I guess I'm just wondering if you just go on a lot of dates despite not feeling an initial attraction from their profile and through emails, etc.? Or do you feel that attraction but then it doesn't really pan out once you meet? Make sense? I know I can be picky, but honestly, their profiles are not so flattering towards themselves.

That's my problem. And one reason I got the new pictures is so, hopefully, I'll attract a higher quality of weirdo... I mean man. (Although both my daughter and mother said my favorite pic doesn't look like me... it looks more like the person I see in the mirror than any picture I've had in years!... They each said I was prettier in person... so I guess I can forgive them.)

And you wrote "make sense"... have you noticed how many of those guys have a good "sence" of humor? Dude! Get a spell checker... typos are okay, but when you misspell the same word 3 times!

or type in all lower case without any punction whatsoever it starts to bug me i cant stand it

THAT, OR TYPING EVERYTHING IN ALL CAPS!

If anyone has access to match profiles, my name there is the same as on here. Maybe someone hijacked my profile and posted "Lonely desperate girl seeks losers and weirdos"?

It's the two pictures with the red demon eyes and the dog with the glowing demon eyes... that or that you like Gilmore Girls... JUST KIDDING (well, not about the Gilmore Girls... just kidding)! Looks pretty normal to me. Might expand some of you date descriptions... blue eyes is the only thing you have. That may be what you "prefer"... but is it a deal breaker? Also, the his religion and marital status (what if he is a great guy that is divorced or a widow?... could happen). I understand you on the "none" for kids... raised somebody else's kids plus my own... don't want more. But, what if he has a child that he doesn't see often (like in another state, only sees at certain holidays or a bit of the summer)?

The women at the party and I came to the conclusion that the majority of the guys are jerks or weird... the ones that would be good are either snatched up quickly or they are REALLY gun-shy because the wife or girlfriend hurt them... bad. They usually have clues like how they repeatedly say they want an "honest" woman, etc. My cousin in California is a really nice guy... his problem with the online stuff was when he'd find a woman, she only wanted him so he could take care of her and her kids.

I'd hate an arranged marriage... but it sure would solve a lot of problems. And if it didn't work, we could just blame our parents and the matchmakers.

OMG! I just had the most HORRIBLE thought! You know how a long time ago, when a man would die, sometimes his brother would marry the widow? Oh, yuck!!!!!! My two BILs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that everyone takes care and continues to make ground on their weight loss efforts. I will certainly try to stop in every couple of weeks to say hi and to see how everyone is doing. I'm going to miss everyone of you.

Take care of yourself... We'll be thinking of you! I know you'll do well with your studies...

 

[denecarter]

DENE I just caught your edit line - DONT YOU read Harry Potter??? EVEN I know about that stuff!!!

I thought snogging was a Harry Potter word... like muggles! And I didn't realize it was French kissing... not just kissing!

 

[HockeyKat]

Kat where'd you get the energy?

I may not have mentioned this before, but Mr Kat is a bit of a neat freak. No clutter is allowed anywhere in the house, even our dining room table remains set (with china, matching napkins, candles, and wine glasses) at all times. I am allowed to keep three canisters and the coffee maker on the kitchen counters and that is all. Everything in our house is cream, black, and brushed nickel, and he is rather fanatical about everything being neat and matching exactly.

He started the WHOLE thing today by throwing a blazer on the floor of the closet to be trashed, and I said, no, the goodwill, and started going through my side of the closet for goodwill items, and then moved to the spare bedroom drawers and closet, and, well... it spiraled downhill from there.

 

[AnnNan]

Praying for you, Monica!
Way to go, Kat!

Thanks for the music suggestions. I like a wide variety of music, but I am liking the idea of kind of "expanding my horizons".

Have a good week!

Dene and Shannon - braver than I am - can't even imagine tackling match.com!

 

[UtahMama]

Guess Whaaaaaat???!!!




Hmmmm...... Happy dancing and Mickey?? CRYPTIC!

 

[dwheatl]

Aaron you prankster you!!

Monica I have goosebumps thinking of your today - and Monday! Blessings and peace!! Do you have excitement running thru, or fears/trepidations? I love that you will come here and share - what a friend!!

DANIELLE!!


All right where's the story of the Tinkerbelle pin? I want a pin like that (I know I read someone has a glowing tink pin!!)

Posting before this computer knocks me offline

Isn't she beautiful? I swear people were stopping me everywhere to ask about her. I turned her on in a few dark rides where kids were crying (like Haunted Mansion) and told the kids, "Look, Tink is here!", and they stopped crying. How's that for pixie dust?

MOMMYBRAG - DS 21, (hard of hearing) got his first A in English!! He has worked so hard!! (as Shannon can atest - hoh kids dont hear audiotorilly (yikes spell??) so their output is off - just as you can tell from the sound of their voice - you can pick out hoh people because their voices are distinct - so is their writing style -

He got an A!!

Wooo hoootie for him! Now you have to tell him you bragged and how thrilled we all are for him, so he can be embarrassed but secretly proud.

As far as how I'm feeling about the c-section, I'm a bunch a nerves and excited at the same time. Just think I can be either holding my little one tomorrow at this time, or recovering from something, anything major.

I could be uterous less, which is no biggie to me. I just don't know how that will feel recovery wise. UMA?

I know when I see the dr for the first time in the operating room I'm gonna say, "Ready to do this one is record time?" cause Mal's took over 4 hours. He was calling in anyone he could to assist.

I hope he can feel all of God's blessings with all the prayers I've said for him this pregnancy. He has no idea how hard I've prayed for him.

I'm guessing you might not see this for awhile, but at church this morning they asked us if we had anyone we wanted to pray for. I said your name out loud, and everyone prayed for you. All the best for you and baby.

DENE I just caught your edit line - DONT YOU read Harry Potter??? EVEN I know about that stuff!!! (as an aside, if dd tells dh and me one more time to get a room- I'm going to stuff her in the garage!! Trust me, pecks on cheeks is it - dd is so over dramatizing things!!

We get that from our kids too. We tell them we have a room, but they don't really want us to go there now, do they?

Guess Whaaaaaat???!!!




Hmmmm...... Happy dancing and Mickey?? CRYPTIC!

Oooh, I know what it means! I'm like that woman in DaVinci Code.
Hooray for you, but around here, the answer to "Guess what?" is "Chicken butt!" It started with a b-day card my D-niece bought DS.
