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

Here are some pictures:
Here's a side by side of how Madelyn has changed since she was born:

Here is my DD Malorie after she helped make perogi's.

Glad you have some kids headed back to you. And cute, cute kids you have!

GOOD MORNING, PEEPS!

I cried, he walked himself to the corner.

I laughed with Punkin on that one - well not with her because I think she unfortunately, was reading it at a ridiculous time of the morning. I wasn't up yet but very funny! I am really sorry about your glasses tho. I couldn't see to get around without mine.

I quoted someone else but it's gone!

Lynda....Woo-Hooty on a size down, sista! Sorry your stomach has been giving you fits.

Punkin....Who's doing the food for the party? Caterer? Everybody kicking in? Or do you have to have the chef do it at the country club?

Hi Peeps!

I'm beginning a new biography of Walt Disney. It's THICK and probably much deeper than I really need, but I'll give it a try. I think he's an amazing person and I'm really grateful for the legacy he left the world. (That sounds so cliched. Oh well.)


Big hugs to everyone!

Please let us know how that book is...i have always wanted to read a biography of Disney...

i told anna if she gets frustrated and doesn't want ANY friends there, that i wouldn't be the least bit offended. it's THEIR day. they can do what they want! i don't get why people don't understand that. these are the same girls i'm dealing with with planning the reception. i'm in for a long two months!!!

Wow..i can't believe that girl that "invited" herself..some nerve!
I feel for you Dawn, I was just in 2 weddings this past summer..the last being over labor day..and i am ALL set dealing with the drama that weddings always produce. I just don't understand what should be a wonderful event can get so marred by other people's issues...Lets just say i learned how to take loooong deeep breaths this year good luck..keep us posted on the goings on!

Oh here is a fun link http://health.discovery.com/tools/calculators/basal/basal.html
Maybe someone has posted it before, but its a calculator that shows you how many calories your body burns in a day, based on age weight and height. ..i thought it was interesting.

Did anyone see Bigget Loser last night? I love that show..but MAN that Jillian scares me, I'm not kidding, I would really have a tough time not wanting to kick her if she was my trainer..just a weee bit aggressive for me. Now Bob and Kim, I think they are great...and they def. know what they are doing too...without being beasts!
Have a great day!

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!

T-minus 24 hours til Wendy turns 40! Everybody got some confetti and a banana man?

I feel a major party coming on!!!
Heather....good to hear some good news about Ryan! God is good!

Monica.....Your babies are beautiful! How is Mal handling the big sister thing? Is she VERY helpful?! My girls wanted to be right in the middle of the baby care.

Mal is a very good helper. She loves being a big sister. When the baby is awake and aware I tell her to talk to her sister. This is some of the things she says, " Do you want to ride the magic carpet rides with me? Mommy will hold you on Goofy's Barnstormer ride. I will teach you how to walk and talk. I will hold your hand"

Lynda....Woo-Hooty on a size down, sista! Sorry your stomach has been giving you fits.

I missed that. Congratulations! That's the best feeling!

I think I'd need her personality to succeed on that show. I'd get mad and have to show her what I was made of.



Another hump day. Woo hoo!

I woke up to 48degrees today. Michigan is very chilly. Kids wore long pants, sweat shirts and spring like coats to the bus stop today.

Thanks for the nice comments on my kids. I wish my boys dispositions were as nice as their looks.

Does any one need help packing? I wanna go so bad. We are hoping to go next Dec. 08. If anyone else is, that's my plan so far.

Thanks for the link.
I watched Biggest Loser and I agree aabout Jillian.DD# even noticed and asked why that lady was so mad.

I can't believe they wore coats-mine went swimming last night.
BTw I have been meaning to comment on Zach's weight loss.H eis doing great! My DD8 lost 6 lbs over the summer but seems to be putting it back on. I have to stop letting her get school lunches and do better with our dinners.The football/softball/baseball schedules are killing us!

That is too sweet about Mallory talking to the baby. You need to get that on video.

Enter diet Pepsi MAX...Hello 69 grams of caffeine! I'm your gal!

Oh and 10 more days till we cross through the arch of jubilation.


I lost the wallet I bought to fit inside my lime Bagallini. Which reeeeeally bugs becasue I put it inside of the bagallini and then put it inside my suitcase a month ago. Grrrrr.

I get to sew a little witch/ballerina today! I found teh orange and black overpriced tights I was looking for at Gymboree.

Fabulosity! I need to catch up and read back a few pages.

We lost internet service at home - I'm subbing 5th grade today - and I'm late - I have lunch around 11 - BBL

(and uma have you not heard what a Russian city has declared today??? CONCEPTION DAY... the radio talk show host I was listening in innocently talked about that story then someone called in with your name for Wednesday - got bleeped!!

 

[dismom9761]

Rachel has hand-foot-mouth disease. The only thing she will eat is cold sandwich meat and ice water. She seems to have a light case so far.

 

[punkin413]

Punkin[/B]....Who's doing the food for the party? Caterer? Everybody kicking in? Or do you have to have the chef do it at the country club?

we don't know yet. i'm *patiently* waiting to hear if we're gonna get the country club for the reception. if that's the case, i'm gonna see if they have a in-house caterer or what. we'll probably also go to sam's club and see how much we'd spend there if we did it ourselves. ray's a good cook, so i may have to put him to work!

ACK! I took Benedryl last night out of desperation to get to sleep. It worked wonderfully but now I'm all groggy. I want to be bright eyed and bushy tailed for this the last day of my 30's!

HAPPY LAST DAY OF YOUR 30'S!!!!! how exciting! i always try to look at getting older in a positive way because, as my grandma says, "it's better than the alternative."

by the way, get yourself some melatonin. it works wonders and doesn't make you feel so groggy the next day.

hope she feels better soon!!!

Hi Peeps!

Cool day here in Buffalo too...in the 60's! I'll be pulling out my jeans as well, I think. However, after a horrendous storm last night, the sky is clear & beautiful!

I am getting sooo frustrated about this weight thing. I am working out 3x's a week, eating well and this week the scale isn't moving! I really need it to move! I'm not eating carbs, just protein & veggies for the most part. The only thing I didn't give up is my FF hazelnut creamer in my coffee. I'm addicted! I have 8 1/2 more weeks until I leave for Disney and have a pair of capris I really want to wear while I'm there! I know it will budge, but I'm just frustrated today. <vent over>

oh, and did you guys see this? i didn't but DH saw it today at work and told me i needed to watch it.

http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1568788&vid=173440

huh? what WAS that? i've never thought she could sing, but at least she was a good dancer and entertainer. i have no clue what THAT was.

That was sooo sad! She seemed to have no energy whatsoever and wasn't even that entertaining. I really feel sorry for her, as she has just wasted her talent.

So, to lose weight you should be eating LESS than you are burning??? I'm confused....

Rachel has hand-foot-mouth disease. The only thing she will eat is cold sandwich meat and ice water. She seems to have a light case so far.

I pray for a speedy recovery for Rachel. Be careful with the rest of the family...this is contageous!

hang in there....it'll come off. are you doing more cardio than weights? if not, up your cardio a little more. i hate cardio but it does the trick.

i use the FF hazelnut creamer too.....it's good stuff!

 

[pigget74]

Good morning all--in hurry but was able to catch up. I keep hearing all this cool weather stuff--WELL IT IS HOT< HOT< and MORE HOT HERE!!!! I am soooo ready for Fall. Saw Stacey last night at daycare and she says hello. I will not be around much the next few since I have 7 chapters to read and questions for each by Saturday morning. Have a good one.

HI!Yep stil hot here too.Have a good day!

 

[eeyore45]

Hi Peeps! So glad to read all of your posts.

Punkin, I'm the least creative woman on this earth. I have no ideas EXCEPT to maybe check your local interlibrary loan system and see if there are some books that do have ideas. If you can get one with lots of illustrations, pictures, etc., you could go from there. There are probably plenty of internet sites too - books are easier to flip through for me, once I can get them.

Last night was the season finale of "Fat March." I've been following this show with avidity (why?) and was amazed that two of the marchers had to walk 33 miles in one day. Let's see. I don't think I could walk 33 miles in less than a week, but in one day? Very motivating! Now I need a show called "Food Avoiders." Maybe that would help.

I'm beginning a new biography of Walt Disney. It's THICK and probably much deeper than I really need, but I'll give it a try. I think he's an amazing person and I'm really grateful for the legacy he left the world. (That sounds so cliched. Oh well.)

Sponge, good to see you on the thread!

Big hugs to everyone!

Abish - its so good to hear from you!! I'm addicted too - and I know Jillian comes across on the show as mean - but that's what they (the producers) want her to do - Bob's the nice one, ratings went down without her - She was on Tyra - Tyra has 3 foodies for a show called "DIET Wars" Jillian (or maybe it wasnt JIllian!! She was very nice!! LOL) BUT they exercise 5 - 8 hours a day - that's all they do!! No tv, no books, just working out!!

I loved that show. Did you watch Biggest Loser tonight?

See that's why I ask for y'all to work out with me - I hate doing it too!!

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!

T-minus 24 hours til Wendy turns 40! Everybody got some confetti and a banana man?

Heather....good to hear some good news about Ryan! God is good!

Monica.....Your babies are beautiful! How is Mal handling the big sister thing? Is she VERY helpful?! My girls wanted to be right in the middle of the baby care.

Lynda....Woo-Hooty on a size down, sista! Sorry your stomach has been giving you fits.

Punkin....Who's doing the food for the party? Caterer? Everybody kicking in? Or do you have to have the chef do it at the country club?

Abish....A biography of Walt? That's awesome! I'm impressed!

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

Ditto here!!

to lurkers too - hope you can come out and join us!!
