DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 3

[Sparkie]

Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes.

Dene you look BEAUTIFUL!! Whats your secret?

I want to feel beautiful again. Today Im feeling old and fat. I gotta go get some new clothes. Just because I can still get the current ones on doesnt mean I should be wearing them in public. My current wardrobe- my comfy wardrobe-is scrub pants with the draw string and pajamas. I really think I could live in my pj's.

So sorry- just feeling a little "mopey" today.

I guess I'm real slow- I dont get the "pearl necklace" thing. I like ZZ Top and all the old (SHHH!!!) 70's and 80's rock.

Someone PM me and clue me in.

UM- Did you get your throat swabbed? I agree with red, swollen throat and fever - it could be strep- See the Doc- ok.

Its spring break at my house. Kids are home. I have an easy week though. We dont have dance this week. My girls take tap, jazz, and pointe 4 days a week. I spend most of my free time taking them to the studio- and waiting. I really enjoy watching my girls- I hardly ever watch TV so Im not up on the programs you are talking about. I tape Idol and House to watch later, I like CSI and the History channel- I know I'm weird - My 10 year old is teaching herself French. My 15 yo just did graduation exams for high school and cant see that her boyfriend is lying to her and using her- boy its hard to let her fall- mama really wants to clue her in but some lessons you have to learn on your own- I sure dont like to see my baby cry though- "mean mama" comes out if you hurt my kids- then I have that 18 yo male that we are just holding on until graduation- smart kid- into dirt bikes and hard rock music- I'm an old mama- I wasnt cool in high school and I know Im not cool now. Every now and then I see that loving little boy I used to know- I sure miss him.

Well, enough about me- Im on my skinny minnie me plan this week- maybe I can feel better about myself next week- It sure is a shame how we let the number on the scale determine who we are and how we feel about ourselves- I've tried to reason with myself but I'm not listening.

See YA'LL- Have a great week everybody!

Yup, I'm calling today for an appointment. The office doesn't open till 8 so I'll call then. I HATE being sick!

Warm salt water gargles and hot tea with honey help alot.

I slept like 20 hours yesterday! Still need more. I hate the time change!
Getting kids ready for school in the dark just plain sucks!


SANDY! You Golden Shower edit line TOTALLY grossed me out. Why indeed!

Happy Birthday Sparkie and Michelle!!!!!!!!!!


Hope you have a great day!! You're on Spring Break....You WILL have a great day!!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Happy Birthday Michelle and Sparkie!

I've got a fever of 102* as we speak! My double dose of Ny-Quil just kicked in!

Friends dont let friends DIS drunk!!!!! That's FUNNY!

Ok, I can not swallow! You people with functioning throats should rejoice RIGHT NOW!

Hope you feel better very soon!


OK, I am starting off the week with yet ANOTHER food day here at work! What is up? We only have like 12-13 people in our office. I feel like every time I turn around, someone is having a b-day here. And there is one a week after mine and a couple others that are close together, so it's not just that they are spread out. Of course, last year, we were having a dry spell on the food days in the fall, so they decided to have one just because! But really, it's OK. I bought apple slices at the store this morning, and light caramel dip. I also bought what might turn out to be a great find - calorie free caramel dip! If it's any good, I'll eat it. I had to get the light version as a back-up though, in case the calorie free stuff sucks! I'll let you all know how it is too.

Oh, and it's supposed to be 71 here tomorrow!!! Why do I have to be at work? At least I'm off at 4 to go to agility class with Jasper. I hope it's still nice out afterwards.

 

[dance2874]

Happy Birthday Michelle and Sparkie!!!
Hope you have a great day, and happy Monday to everyone else too.

Thank goodness Spring break is over. Just got back from dropping DD off at preschool Funny how even doing laundry is a bit more fun when I can do it uninterrupted. I am planning to hit my new old treadmill for at least 30 min and I may actually RUN, yes thats right, RUN on it. Since it is not in public nobody can laugh at me, my tummy and my girls bouncing all over

 

[UtahMama]

Happy Birthday, Michelle!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Sparkie!!!!!

What a beautiful day to have a birthday!!!!


DisneyfreakyLyndapoohbear- How is the caramel dip? I want caramel dip now for some reason! The apples at Mc. Donalds taste like their dunked in anti-yellowing chemicals prior to packaging. I want me some REAL apples with caramel!

Ok! I'm going to my Dr. at 1:30 and my DH is taking over her at the homefront to allow me a childless visit to my DR.... YAY! I hate dragging even one child to the Dr. I get the gagging-swab and I betcha I'll get antibiotics which will give me yeast issues so I'll need to stockpile lactobaciilous too. It's a total "if you give a mouse a cookie scenario".

The caramel dip isn't too bad! It smells incredible! And I think it would be better if it were on an apple I sliced, rather than the pre-packaged slices. (Although these slices are the ones with the skin still on, and they are a red and green combo - not bad.) It definitely isn't as thick as regular caramel - not a big shocker there. But it's pretty good, and I can eat all I want! I will have more later. I just had 2 apple slices to taste it. Next time I go back there, I will try to remember to look at the brand name for you all. It was in the produce section with the other caramel dips.

 

[dance2874]

Hope you feel better soon UM! I hate that swabbing thingy too....but I will bet ya you have strep. Thats what you get for having us all sleep over this weekend

 

[daisy_77]

Good morning, Peeps!

Happy Birthday, Michelle AND Sparkie!

I hope that you all are having a great week so far! I am heading out to do some grocery shopping and making a stop at Walmart for some of that Hoodia that UM is taking...I like to eat late at night, too! I am need something to make me stop!

I have been too busy to read back...I will eventually get to it! I like to read how everyone is doing...with a total weight loss of 40 pounds last week...it sounds like we are all doing awesome! Keep it up, Peeps!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Lynda...Calorie-free caramel?!? I've seen the fat free, but not calorie free. I am very interested in the brand name.

UM...Feel better! So glad you are seeing the DR. You'll feel better in no time!

We have been dealing with stomach flu at my house! My DS came home this weekend and now has it today at college! We also had a house full yesterday and I am hoping noone ends up with this flu. I'd feel terrible!

Working today, then going home to do laundry. (When the undie drawer is empty...it's laundry time! )

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Happy Birthday Michelle AND Sparkie!

 

[Wonders10]

UM - so sorry you are not feeling well! Not sure if it is too late for this advice or not (or maybe you already know). I hated getting swabbed for strep because I always gagged (duh) but then a nurse told me to say "ahhhhh" while she was doing it because it makes you gag less. And it worked! (You know, open and say ahhhh). Try it if gagging is a real issue for you!

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Happy Birthday Sparkie!

What a morning! I've been baking cookies since I woke up! But 100 cookies are done and ready to be decorated when I get back from class tonight. I really want my mom to help me decorate them and she is more than willing but I am such a control freak that I make her all nervous and get paranoid that she is messing them up. Must let her do it. She is very capable of making the cookies gorgeous.

Last night after I got back from the christening/food fest, I sort of kept it up. Just kept nibbling here and there, not writing anything down. Very bad. But I'm back on track today and will be the rest of the week. I really want a loss this week. Really Really.

Off to roam the DIS before getting ready for class. Hope everyone's week is starting out skinny and great!

Happy Happy Bday Michelle

Sparky - ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY

From work, I was thinking, I didnt post a happy birthday message!! So all day I've been sending up prayers for a Happy Birthday1!

Now Sparkie, have a seat dear friend, we need to talk!! First, you are NOT "slow" by any means!! (trust me, it took me awhile!!) just go to google and type in "pearl necklace + SLANG" and you wont have to click because if you google like I google it will tell you from wikipedia the definition of the slang form of what the male anatomy does while giving a female a "pearl necklace" you may want to skip knowing however!!! Just sayin... "ewww"!!

Also, I was a bit distressed to find you in a negative mood due to your current clothing situation. You must not watch "What NOT to wear"... you need to love the body you are in!! So yes, get yourself to Target, WalMart, Lane Bryant, anywhere and find something that when you look in the mirror you feel beautiful!! Trust me, I have such skinny relatives, it would intimatate a prison matron (dont know why that image came to mind, must be the talk of slang!!) anyway, they are sizes 4 or 2 or maybe even 0 - I have to love ME!! TODAY!! and you can find pretty things in all sizes, so cloth yourself in beauty and feel beautiful - because you are!! Give the gift of loving yourself, and then wrap yourself up in something pretty!! Pretty Please??!!

feel better soon UMA

Thanks for posting everyone, sorry I cant comment, I need to go back and drum some heads - prefixes, suffixes have meanings, and the meaning of -ous or -ize isnt from their example... I'm beating my head against the table when I help them find the root word of transcontinental - *sigh...

 

[monymony3471]

click here for some cheerful reading!

It's one of my favorite threads.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Brand name of the calorie free caramel dip is Walden Farms! And I think it's good. It is NOT as thick as regular caramel. It sort of reminds me of the caramel in the baked apples you get at Chili's. The apples I bought taste a bit odd. (those darn preservatives) But I tasted the caramel by itself, and it was good. And the more of it I put on the apples, the better they tasted. So, I think the apples were the problem. I will try it on a regular apple later this week. I am thinking it would be good with frozen whipped cream too. (Which I have some of at home )

 

[dance2874]

Walden farms is the best!! They have a ton of fat free calorie free foods. I love their creamy bacon ranch salad dressing. It is really good!!!! And pretty much all their foods are fat and calorie free. A dieters best friend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SPARKIE AND MICHELLE!!

Cheryl, are you trying to get this thread shut down!! I don't think we are allowed to post pictures of torture devices on here! Not very Disney if you ask me. Unless of course you are hanging your Disney t-shirt up to dry!
Anyway, not sure what happened here yesterday, but there was a lot of talk about taxes and exercise! I shudder to think! It is spring break here so we should only talk about flowers and nice stuff!!

Hey snow, I came to vent to, I'm so angry and hurt right now I just want to scream, or get in the car and drive far away.

DD is a "talent show" for "school's PTO" bad enough, but we are not enamored of one of the girls who is just mean, she says things that make you go "WHAT?" so hurtful so we end up lecturing dd on why its not ok to lol at those insults... Then the whole inapporopriate hip hop music... now the "outfit" - I drive all over looking for jean capris that have the rhinestones (under $20) and found them and a "cami" for under the tshirts they made... success - big time - I made it to the gym in time too!! me again!!

Now today, the practice is to be at 1, perform at 3pm. The call, we decided to spend the night, and have practice at 11, and we're going to do makeup, oh and eat lunch because we're not going to give you anything to eat! (again, understandable, and no big deal, that girl just comes across as harsh tho) Well, dd asks me to do a pony tail, and at rehersal her hair was all over, so I spray it - omgravy you'd think I just slapped the girl or worse!! SHE FREAKED!! I gave up, locked myself in the bathroom, dh ponded on door, he was through with all the hormonal females, just give him the good shampoo! FINE< JUST FINE - dd didnt want to take a shower... drama....

Now she left, the cami showed through and looked like a bra, who knows how she did her hair, or if, and she didnt take the makeup I bagged up for her - so there!!

I am done being a mom of a teenage girl.

If you survive the teenage years - you get special rewards in Heaven - really!

I made my Saturday morning yoga instructor laugh... (not at the way I was doing the poses, you sillies). I was telling some of the other ladies in there that I had had these weird rough spots on my hands for a couple of weeks and just the night before I had an epiphany and figured out that they were from doing "down dogs"... Yes! My first yoga callouses!

By the way... WHY is an "up dog" with your booty down and a "down dog" with your booty up? Just wondering...

Dene, this just does not sound safe or even natural!

Yup, I'm calling today for an appointment. The office doesn't open till 8 so I'll call then. I HATE being sick!

Warm salt water gargles and hot tea with honey help alot.

I slept like 20 hours yesterday! Still need more. I hate the time change!
Getting kids ready for school in the dark just plain sucks!


SANDY! You Golden Shower edit line TOTALLY grossed me out. Why indeed!

Hope everything goes well at the dr. The shower thing is suppose to work on jellyfish stings!

DisneyfreakyLyndapoohbear- How is the caramel dip? I want caramel dip now for some reason! The apples at Mc. Donalds taste like their dunked in anti-yellowing chemicals prior to packaging. I want me some REAL apples with caramel!

Caramel dip is great with granny smith apples.

I really want my mom to help me decorate them and she is more than willing but I am such a control freak that I make her all nervous and get paranoid that she is messing them up. Must let her do it.

Off to roam the DIS before getting ready for class. Hope everyone's week is starting out skinny and great!

How did your cookies go at the christening?

Monica - I think Keeper of the Secret has to do with those who are planning a surprise Disney trip.

First day of spring break here and I am off today. Jackson and his friend got up and decided to paint. I think you know how that went! Right now they are outside building a clubhouse. "hey guys, the matches have to stay inside!!!" Last night I played flashlight tag and video games with them. All was going well until I was running for base and tripped. My physical therapist would not have approved. But I am okay today.

 

[Wonders10]

How did your cookies go at the christening?

Thanks for asking! They were a hit. I did 2 designs: a white dress with a cross on the chest and lavendar accents, and a lavendar circle with the little girl's initials and a cross on them. I had some issues with the frosting for the circles and I was not too pleased with the final product, but once they were all wrapped up, they looked really nice. And everyone loved them! I even got asked a few times if I sell them or have a business card! I am definitely willing to take more orders but back to back (like this week) is really hard. The pics of the cookies are on DB's camera. When they get posted I will try to share them with you all!
