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

[S.Poppins]

Heather, I can't see the pictures! But I am going to try and bring you some food today - So I can see her in person.

My MRI was fine - Very happy to rule that out. Just wish they could find a way to make headaches and backaches go away!

Good news though, I found out my thyroid is very low! This is good because it means I am not crazy and I am not a the verge of a nervous breakdown. They can give me medicine and I won't be so tired and I may even be able to lose weight, and my hair may grow back and I may actually feel like again (DH is eagerly awaiting this miracle drug).

Melinda - loved the TR and pictures. That looks like so much fun. I have always wanted to try Narcoosees - it was good?

Hi Bee! Good to see you! I have been out alot too. Life just gets crazy!

Hello everyone. It took me longett o get to a computer than I had thought it would. Everything went well except for the epidural. I had to have 3 They did the last one when I was at 9. That one finally took and all was well after that. She is beautiful and her siblings adore her. Here are some pics.

We got home yesterday at noon and have just been resting. I am fine except for my back and that could take up to 2 weeks to be all normal.

Couldn't see the pics for some reason, but I'm sure little Rebekah is adorable! Congrats!!

Alrighty....here are some pictures as promised....

We arrived on Saturday and first we did this....

cause I love me some Kona.

Looks delicious!!!

Then we went directly to the MK where we met up with some tired but very sweet and friendly peeps...

You guys are sooo cute!!!

And on Sunday...the pictures I took in my head are the only ones that exist. It was great to meet Sandy, Wendy, and Celery for rope drop. Our rope drop EE plan sorta fell apart BUT we did meet up later for lunch and Marita, Minnie Moo and NAB were there too. There were many pictures taken but I'm not sure who took them? Utahdaddy?

No pics??? Did you forget??? Or were you having sooo much fun you just didn't have time???
We did get to see....

And everybody else's Ohana pictures were better than mine but my daughter and Sandy's daughter have a new best friend...

Gotta love when "little girls" play with a "big girls" hair!!! Too cute!!!

Miss Norah...who looked smashing each and every day we saw her in her fabulous custom made clothes! Also....best dinner night at Narcoossee's. The lobster was marvelous and DD got the royal treatment for her B-day dinner by the world's best waiter, Nelson.

Monday we went to Typhoon Lagoon! If you haven't been there...GO! We loved it! Then we went to Epcot where we ran into Nebo and Smidgy and their never ending quest for the best smoking areas at Disney. Here is possibly the saddest one of all....Smidgy looks like she's been sent to the corner.

Aren't all smoking areas "out of the way???"

Tuesday was MGM day and our best discovery there....Starring Rolls bakery. Lox and bagels were the best! No pictures to speak of...

Wednesday was our MK day! We had a great time at the Little One's EMH in Fantasyland. We waited at the Tomorrowland rope drop at 9am where DS sprinted like a KY redneck to Space Mountain. Then We rode our faves and headed to Adventureland were we met Cap'n Jack and got an autograph. We rode Splash (I thought of you, Gayle!) and then Big Thunder. And on to the Haunted Mansion. The updates are good but scary! We ate lunch at CHH and then decided to hit Tom Sawyer Island....we loved it! The caves were great! I called Wendy and they were at Spash Mt. so we went over to see them and the sky opened up. We waited under the BTMR FP shelter for 15-20ish minutes but Wendy's boys and my boy played in the rain! Then some of us rode Spash again and then ALL of us rode BTMR...

Thanks for thinking of me on Splash Mountain!!! I soooo that ride!!! It is definitely my favorite!!!

DH arrived on this day and we went to DTD that night....crowded + late night....ugggg.

Thursday....DH took DS back to TL and the girls and I went to the WS and guess who we met there...

What beautiful women you all are!!!

Great dinner at LeCellier and we met Lynda and Josh for the fireworks! (I'll save the details for Lynda's trip report)

Friday....The whole fam damily went to Blizzard Beach....much fun had by all but a lil too much was revealed by the many questionable swim suits choices...more butt cracks than a plumbers convention! DD and I ran over to MK between 4 and 5 where we had Stacey's famous strawberry swirl ice cream. YUMMMM! Met DISers Mommy Poppins and her adorable family for a brief second.

I've never been to Blizzard beach, but have a friend who completely lost the top part of her one piece in the wave pool! She was unaware of it until her son told her!

Later was the Kona meet....what a nice evening. Great food, great friends....no pictures. Sorry! If you'd like to see some pictures that were taken out by the pool at the nebo/peep fireworks meet, go to Tiggerwannabe's trip report. She has posted a link to her photobucket album.

Saturday morning.....I just sat by the river, drank my coffee, and wondered when I would see this beautiful site again...

Sigh.....I think heaven must look just like POR and all my peeps will be there....

This is where I am staying in Nov and will think of you while I sit by the river drinking my coffee!

Sounds like sooo much fun, I wish I could have been there. I love the pics and appreciate you sharing with us!

Good afternoon. We spent the morning at the Dr. with Rebekah--just for weight check --only lost 4 oz and that is great. Then we had to head back to hospital for lab work since her bili was high and making her jaundice. Well when we left on Tuesday she was at 8 and they just called and we are at 17 so we get to put her in a bili blanket. My friends call it the glo worm blanket. We will have to go for more lab work in the morning.

UPDATE ON RYAN----They are packing the car as I type. PRAISE BE TO GOD!! The drive will take them 2 days to get home, but they are headed home. If you have not sent a postcard out yet and are planning on sending it let me know and I will get their hoome address. If you have sent one it will be forwarded to their home. I know that they have gotten 1 and it was to Brett so mom is holding on to it until one shows up for Ryan. Thank you all for your prayers--they have been there for 14 weeks.

Rebekah is getting fussy so I better go and hold her

Have a good one.

The pictures look great! It looks like everyone had a great time. My family thinks I'm obsessed because every time I'm on the computer they say "What are you looking at Disney AGAIN ?" But you know, when we went there this last trip, and we got to ride "up front" on the monorail twice and had free dining at really good resturants (Kona, Coral Reef and chef mickey's) , knew about the path to walk back to the Contemporary after a CROWDED Wishes, and countless other little tips (free upgrade to the TOWER from a wing room ), I think they were glad that I had done my homework . It was like a "before dis" and "after dis" with how much smoother everything went. Yay Dis! On a different note, I have been trying very hard on the dieting. I hope to definitly post a loss on tomorrows weigh in. I have been trying a weight loss pill, and so far so good. Good luck everyone, let's all have skinny dreams!

 

[monymony3471]

The baby slept 5 straight hours last night! Boy do I feel refreshed!

Zach had a program at school and was honored for being a star student. I took the girls. Mal loves going to her "school" she can't wait to ride her "pink" bus.

Yea for Ryan and his family and PD for Rebekah.

Hi Bee

 

[UtahMama]

Uh OhhhH! Tomorrow is Weigh Day Time to face the music. To pay the Piper.

I do not want to see the numbers! I need the magic scale that tells me what I want to hear...who had that cool scale??? Lynda?

On the "free" dining, I always swear I'm never going to eat ever EVER again...

Although, I didn't do more than "taste" my desserts and only ate one dole whip and one half of a funnel cake. Mmmmm, funnel cakes are soooo delicious all deep fried and greezy on a hot- humid day...

[dismom9761]

Melinda,I loved reading your report.

Danielle,sending prayers for you brother.

Monica,thats great about Zach being star student. on five hours of sleep.

I know I haven't posted here alot but things are crazy here with football/softball and I have been spending alot of time on the Trip Reports board.

Hope everyone is having an awesome skinny day!

 

[monymony3471]

How are those journals coming? Anyone?

 

[Pakey]

After you loose 20 lbs Utan Mama foots the bill for an all inclusive stay at GF! Hey she not reading this right now right?? UM is still in WDW right??

UtahMama, I haven't "met" you yet but I'm Faith. I joined in while you were off having fun at WDW. I'm sticking with this board since I'll get a free trip to the GF when I lose 20 lbs (as per quote above). I want to make sure that this will be concierge level though, right---

 

[majicintheair]

Oh Pakey!! To funny!! Me to Me to! Count me in on the free trip to! What a motivator to do those situps!!! UTAHMAMA, if any cm's had given me a hard time, I was going to take a page out of your book and "write it down" "do you know who I am?" I loved loved loved your last trip report. It echoed through my head at times while we were in the world. Everybody Home!

 

[punkin413]

i tried to PM you earlier but my computer went wacko. just so you know, i sent one from mickey to brett. i figured ryan would get more than his brother, so that's why i did that. now i feel bad! i hope ryan gets some, too!

oh, and according to the above statement from pakey, UM owes me a trip to the GF. i'll take a castle view room. thanks. and thanks for giving us the scoop, pakey! i didn't even know that and i've been on this thread since march!

 

[UtahMama]

How are those journals coming? Anyone?

What journals? The recipe books? I haven't gotten a recipe book in months!

UtahMama, I haven't "met" you yet but I'm Faith. I joined in while you were off having fun at WDW. I'm sticking with this board since I'll get a free trip to the GF when I lose 20 lbs (as per quote above). I want to make sure that this will be concierge level though, right---

Hi Faith! Glad to have you! The more the merrier! Ok, what prize is this? Great Googly Moogly...you'll have to go back ten million pages to quote me. It must have been during one of my briefly motivated moments...I know we were all gonna lose 20 pounds before the trip, but, well, SOMEONE can't seem to get it together long enough to lose more than 5 (FIVE) pounds. ACK!!! Plus there was no real prize involved. You'd have to reward yourself as I remember correctly... Losing 20 pounds is prize in itself

oh, and according to the above statement from pakey, UM owes me a trip to the GF. i'll take a castle view room. thanks. and thanks for giving us the scoop, pakey! i didn't even know that and i've been on this thread since march!

Yay! Can I come too?

YOU are the best Punkie!!! I'd totally put you up in the GF if I was married to a Gates or a Trump

 

[the Fidge]

Wopsy don't go back to when you were in Dinsey I might have mentioned something about it nahhh couldn't have yup it must have been during one of your weaker moments trying to keep everyone motivated!

 

[the Fidge]

Welcome Pakey - In honor of you I will type in pink! Well so you know I am Brigitte and cannot type to save my life and refuse to correct my typos as I usually make more fixing them! These folks ehre are a great bunch too! After you loose 20 lbs Utan Mama foots the bill for an all inclusive stay at GF! Hey she not reading this right now right?? UM is still in WDW right??

WE all try to encourage and share the struggles and the joys and my typos!



OK who did this??? Must have been UM as she is very impreseed with my incredible typing skills and asked me to post this on her behalf.................yeah thats it!!!!!!

 

[Wonders10]

Hey Peeps...I need a little pixie dust if you can spare it.

I still do not know where I will be doing my 2nd internship starting in January 08. Most of my classmates have known for awhile now, but I think there are a couple unlucky ones like myself that are still homeless so to speak. The woman who places us is totally incompetent and needs to retire. She loses things and forgets about people and we (the students) are the ones that suffer. I have emailed her twice (once was an email I sent to her co-worker where I mentioned my lack of an internship site and she forwarded it on) and called twice in the past 2-3 weeks. And I just sent her another email tonight. I have heard nothing back from her. It is October and I need to know where my placement is...heck, my placement should know if they are getting an intern in a few months (and who that intern is). So please, I know she is sometimes in her office on Fridays, please send pixie dust that she replies to me and gives me some good news.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Shannon - I hope that does the trick and you find a place to work in January, and that your placement lady calls/emails you back.

UM - You said that we could run amock while you were gone, and Fidge helped us accomplish that!

That is so great! I bet they cant wait to be home!! I cant even imagine being away from home for 14 weeks.

 

[dwheatl]

Thanks for all the prayers, everybody. I haven't heard anything yet. Tomorrow is the actual procedure.

Gina, I'm praying for your friend's family. Does everyone know about this site? http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=2
If you go to it and click where they say, they donate money towards mammograms for women who otherwise could not afford it. It costs you nothing, because it's paid for by advertising, and some of the stuff is pretty great.
I just collected a load of Dannon yogurt lids for breast cancer support, too. I have to mail those off this weekend.

Eharmony/match.com update: none really. In "email" communication with one guy from each site. But apparently they aren't as anal about checking and responding to emails as I am because I'm still waiting for their response. Most of the guys on eharmony have been pretty normal it seems but nothing that made me swoon. And I've gotten the usual "hey baby, you are adorable, how's the single life treating you? get back to me soon hun" sent by a sleazy looking guy in a wifebeater with greased back hair and skinny mustache (and if you think I'm making that up, I can send you the email to prove I'm not lying.) It's pretty humorous sometimes.

Yay for today being Thursday because that means tomorrow is Friday! Have a good one Peeps!

For some reason, I pictured Steve Buscemi. Yeesh!

Heather, I can't see the pictures! But I am going to try and bring you some food today - So I can see her in person.

My MRI was fine - Very happy to rule that out. Just wish they could find a way to make headaches and backaches go away!

Good news though, I found out my thyroid is very low! This is good because it means I am not crazy and I am not a the verge of a nervous breakdown. They can give me medicine and I won't be so tired and I may even be able to lose weight, and my hair may grow back and I may actually feel like again (DH is eagerly awaiting this miracle drug). !

Hope the thyroid medication helps. Glad they found nothing in your head.

Happy weigh-in, all.

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

TGIF! Have a great weigh in day!

(Everyone who was at Disney last week gets a free pass this week, right?)
