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

[UtahMama]

the BEST thing you can do for a sore throat (IMO) is get a tablespoon of children's liquid benadryl (preferably cherry flavored) and a tablespoon of liquid maalox (preferably vanilla flavored), mix them and then gargle them in your mouth and spit it out. it coats your throat and numbs it. and you can do it as often as you want as long as you spit it out. my throat was so sore this past november then i couldn't even eat soup. my doctor told me about this home remedy and it works so well that i keep a prepared concoction in my medicine cabinet at all times now. hope it helps!

I'll have to try that. Thanks!

I didn't know about the pearl necklace either. The wikipedia visual cleared it up real quick! I've told you before, but eeyore you teach me something everytime. Although some things might be better left not knowin'.

and one for UMA!!

Allie, too sweet on your dd, we do have to remember those moments dont we? I'm no longer stuck on the negative... dd loves to go door to door with the neighbor kids (younger by a year or two) and they rake leaves for "donations" and give to various charities the school sponsors (Food Pantry, Katrina, etc!) Its been awhile and I was trying to think of how I could get dd to recognize needs beyond her own!! Its hard when they are only ten!!


DISMOM - what a sweet pic!! Thanks for sharing!! Love those eyes!!

Hi everyone,

Remember a few weeks ago I posted how I was missing 2 of my friends that I had met on the college program and have not seen in awhile? Well one of them has been "talking" about coming to Orlando for months now with no results. Until today. She called and left a voicemail that she has seen some great flight deals for May and wants to talk dates with me. I am sooooo excited! I have not seen her in 2 years and it had been 2 years prior to that visit that I had last seen her. If only our other friend could swing a trip, but I'm not holding my breath for her. She's stubborn as a mule. Anyway, just wanted to share my good news.

Also, I'm sorry I keep talking about these stupid cookies. But it is my life right now. Everywhere I look I either see a cookie or some cookie paraphernalia. It's nuts and I can't wait for these cookies to be decorated, bagged, and gone!

Be back later tonight!

 

[UtahMama]

Do you guys have a "My Girlfriend's Kitchen?" (google if you dont have a clue- it's SAFE )


See, you pay a fee and go prepare your dinners to freeze at home. I thought it sounded like a cool date idea for me and the mister. I signed us up for Thursday night! Yay! It's great for big families. So you prepare once and your all set! I just gave myself a huge raise on convienience and time!

See how your in my thoughts? I thought I'd share the idea with yous!!!!!

They look healthy and semi-low fat!

 

[Wonders10]

Hi again,

I just checked and the christening pictures were posted so I got to see my cookie picture. Here they are:

My best friend has one, and he loves it. He is the epitome of a "car guy" and is very particular when purchasing a vehicle. So I figure if it meets his standards, it's gotta be good. I will say that it is much roomier than it looks. And you can do some funky things with the back seats that allow you to haul a lot of stuff back there. Definitely check it out!

Thanks! The Fit is awesome! I think we're going to get either the orange or blue one. We're going to test drive a few other cars before we decide... but the Fit is on the top of our list!

I was loking through Rachel's bday pics and thought I would share this one of Dragonfly's DD and Rachel.

What a gorgeous picture!

Hi again,

I just checked and the christening pictures were posted so I got to see my cookie picture. Here they are:

I've been waiting to see a picture of your homemade cookies! They look wonderful! What a great business idea. I wish you all the best!

UM - I don't know what you're talking about with the frozen dinners, but it sounds interesting! Hope you're feeling better!

For those of you who get the FX channel, you might want to watch the new show called The Riches. It has Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver in it and it looks like it's going to be GOOD!

Have a good night everyone!

Those look great!

 

[dance2874]

UM- we have something similar here. There are 3 or 4 different chain places here that do it and I LOVE it. It is cheaper than me buying the stuff myself usually and so easy. I am making one of my dinners tonight actually. Burbon pork with honey glazed carrots. They even give the nutritional info so I can count everything.

Shannon- those cookies are fantastic!! I will have to find some of the ones I did this weekend for my friend. Cute butterflies. I love cake central for ideas too, that site is great!

 

[dance2874]

Food Porn coming through......scroll down fast if you dont want to see it.


I just wanted to share some of my 'work' with Shannon. Here are the butterfly cookies I made last weekend:

Also, I made my daughters b-day cake for her 4h birthday a few mos ago. It was chocolate w/cherry filling on top and plain vanilla cake on the bottom.

She had a dress up tea party so I made these for centerpieces. My writing ran though, made me crazy, but the cookies were ok. Tea pots, tea cups, frog princes, and tiaras of course!

Maybe it will give you some insipration to finish the ones that are all over your kitchen!

 

[the Fidge]

Geat now I am starving!!! Tohse cookies look great and so do the girls!! HOpe everyone is good tongiht! Winkers so glad you are on the mend! UM hope you are getting well needed rest and recovery!

The shirts we did last night came out great at least DH and DS both look terrific! Mine not as great but honestly it ws really just fun to do something with them!

SO you know tomorow is piffically one month till vacation YIIPPEE!!! DH adn I almost slipped out a couple of things that would have given DS an idea about his trip, then no secret, can't tell can't tell! I did pick up the boys some new unmentionables for our trip and a few odds and ends. I am holding off to till the last minute to buy me some things, though I did pick up a cute pair of black sandals for 2 dollars at Wlamart evidently big foot shoes got clearnaced, win for me!!

I cannot get my printer to pring without the lines and am rady to toss it right out the window! WIll call and see if library would let me print out the images from their printer, heres hoping. Standardized tests start tmorow so DS is already requested a huge breakfast, you know this is a diner!

I have been really tied thse past few days and went to bed for 2 hours after I got home, can't shake this feeling like I am getting sick but not. Muscles are all achy and I am no energy. DId not wlak today will try again tomorow.

Back to bed and have a nice night all!

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!

I have to tell you how nice it is to have good equipment that is NOT torture to use! The ride is very smooth and quiet and everything is adjustable - if my legs start getting tired, I can effortlessly reduce the setting. I just need to keep a good attitude and find an alternate place to toss my clothes

Shannon and Dance, GREAT cookies!

DisMom, thanks for sharing the gorgeous pic!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sparkie and Michelle!!!!




Eat, drink and be merry!

Curiosity got the best of me and I had to look too.

My DD cleaned up the playroom yesterday. She messed it up by herself, so she got to clean it by herself. It was her idea. She asked if we might pay her, and we said yes as long as she did it by herself. Well you need to know that my playroom is big! It is 11x22 BIG! There was no carpet to be seen because there was so much STUFF!! Well she got it done by herself, and she told me and DH last night that she was going to use part of the money to donate to the victims of the recent tornado in Enterprise. Well it just made me want to . I was so moved. She heard the preacher talk about us (the congregation) taking up a special collection for those in Enterprise. Well, something must have clicked in her little head. I was so proud of her. Eeyore she has a temprament that is right on track to be right there with your DD, which is why this was so moving to me.

Anyway, I said all that to say that now there is a nice spot in there for my Gazelle that is in the attic. I am going to go up there and get that bad boy out, dust it off, and put it to use. It is lovely here today, but I will walk outside tonight with DH and the doggies.

What a great kid! How old is she?

I'll have to try that. Thanks!

How was the doctor's visit?

Hi again,

Those look great! The dress one looks like it would be very time consuming! Hope you get to see your friends!

Dismom - what beautiful girls!

Dance - You and Shannon are so talented! I love to bake, but stink at decorating!

Monymony- KOTS keeper of the secret, I believe when you see that the person is keeping the secret about a trip to WDW. Or they know someone who is keeping the secret.

Guess what! I went to the YMCA yesterday and today. Today I learned about the machines. I am going to try to work out 5-7 days a week in some way.. I am going to do upper body due to back still healing and I am going to do water aerobics.



I believe Dawn is still trying to get well.. I will send your love to her. I know you are all great people and want to send prayers.. I will pass that along.

Love all y'all!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MLILL MICHELLE!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SPARKIE!!!​

OH GREAT - now I have to go back and .... apologize(are you sure you didnt just swoop in and edit?!)

Who, me!?! I would NEVER do something like that...

Yes, do tell Deneplease make a 5 paragraph paper citing sources!! otstir:

Miss eeyore How many sentences do you require in paragraphs? And can we use abbreviations like when we text message? And when I copy and paste directly from a website, will you ignore the hyperlinks I forget to change?

Oh did I mention I want my hour back as I am just way too cranky for public outtings!

You'll get it back.... in the FALL!

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".

I was teaching my Biology students about this very thing last week... it was even a question on the test.

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

Some of the things these instructors can do are definitely UNnatural ... they are strong and flexible and sometimes I'm like "yeah, right!"

I do not want to know how you came to possess this knowledge. (fingers in ears......la, la, la, la, la...)

I was a marine biology major in college... but I think I got that info from my scuba diving class. By the way, meat tenderizer also works.

A couple of you gave me bra suggestions the other day and I really appreciate it.I wrote the brand down and will be trying one.I have lost 16 lbs and I think at least half of that is from my chest.I have gone from a 38D to a 34C.

TMI time... Similar things have happened to me in the past... but oddly, it hasn't been so bad this time. I was wearing a 42C with an extender. The extender is gone and now I'm on the smallest set of hooks... and I can also wear a 40D on the loosest. I SWEAR it is the weight lifting... especially the chest press. But you really have to concentrate on the muscles you are using

I was loking through Rachel's bday pics and thought I would share this one of Dragonfly's DD and Rachel.

What adorable girls!

See, you pay a fee and go prepare your dinners to freeze at home.

One of the teachers I worked with last year LOVED the one she used... there are at least 2 in this area, names are different, but concept is the same.

And I hope you get well soon!

I know Friday is the traditional Peep weigh-in. But I just HAVE to share.

Got up this morning and weighed. Disappointed is too nice a word. I was "ticked" 'cause I was .2 from a major goal!

I thought to myself, what would Peeps do? So I went to the gym, did an hour long Cardio Inferno, and hour long Power Yoga, then I went home and weighed again. Lost that .2 plus another .4! So, I met my goal for the week!

Ladies (and gents), drumroll please...

I not only have lost 50 lbs... I now weigh less than I have in 18 years! And my Peeps are a very important part of my success. Thank you all for your support!

Now let's party!
