DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 4

[lexmelinda]

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, EVERYONE!!!

I think we'll head to the pool today! It's another HOT day here!

SANDY....I had a dream about you last night. You ate at the restaurant where I work doing bookkeeping. You had a $900 tab and left a $400 tip! You rich, girl!

luckily their butter machine was broken because DH usually wants extra butter, so we just used the cheese flavored salts they have. but i still ate too much of it!

Movie theater butter always reminds me of the Seinfeld where Elaine asks if it's real butter and the cashier says "It looks like butter" But is it real butter? "It's yellow."

Sammoon.com is their site but the store has SOOO much more.

Cute bags! I'm trying to catch up today. What did Tara want....a baggallinni? Do they have knock offs?

He's been so much more comfortable and can care for himself a lot better now.

I'm so glad DH is comfortable. How long do they expect the pain to last?? And let me get this straight...you had a cook out?!? You are a can-do girl, Noni!

Food for today:
B-Princess frosted flakes, sk. milk, light OJ

Princess frosted flakes? Tara...I got a bag a Wal*Mart last year and it had all the compartment type things that the baggallinni has...it just didn't have the messenger type strap. I purposely bought black so DH could share the joy of carrying it. Anywho...it was 6-ish dollars.

actually, we did record the show and you can see the guy a couple of times in the lower part of the shot doing the moves!

Post it!!!

Hi Peeps! My report cards are DONE!!

YAY!! What a load off your mind! SIX MORE DAYS!! That's wonderful!

My DH eats really loudly too... makes me almost ill sometimes!

We went to a picnic at DSIL's farm yesterday. Very quiet. I could hear everybody eating. I never would have noticed it before. Thanks, peeps!!! Good eating yesterday, Kat...especially with the holiday weekend and all. Go, you!

and have a great memorial day weekend.

Hi, Misty! Can you get a season pass to the zoo and weigh there all the time???

OMG! I just laughed out loud at work about Capt Jack's companion preferences

REALLY! Someone told us that here? Was it Dene? I think she had a student whose cousin was cast as Alladin and he really was dating Cap'n Jack! No kidding! Very cute that you were able to join grandma for her 28th birthday. She sounds like fun!

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE!!!

Okay it is 1 am here and I cannot sleep! DH and I spent hours tonight planning our next WDW trip. Looks like the week after Thanksgiving again! And guess what....We are staying at the Poly or the Contemporary!!!! On the monorail!!! Does life get any better. We are trying to take my sister and here 3 kids and Brian's parents. So there would be 10 of us in two rooms. Five adults and 5 kids. So has anyone stayed in either of these places? The Contemporary is cheaper, so we are leaning that way. Decided to put the cruise on the back burner for another year.

Congrats. We have walked over to the Contemporary to catch a bus before to downtown Disney and that is as much of the place other thatn dinner that we have seen. I love going at that time of year--to bad you can;t go Thanks. since we get a week off. Also remember we get a short break in October. Good luck with everything.


HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!! It is a lazy day for us. DH left this morning with the youth to head over to Lake CHarles, La. for an outreach called 8 days of Hope---they will be doing a lot of work in the Katrina areas. SO it is just me and my kiddos for most of the week. Have a good one.

Hey Heather! DH wants Christmas again and the time during our break in October is not a value season. Thanksgiving week has become very crowded from my understanding. Anyone know anything about Thanksgiving crowds?

 

[lexmelinda]

I'm reading NicoleMarie's report "Are we turkeys?" and she was there Thanksgiving week. She sticks strictly to TGM advice but sounds like they had a good experience.

 

[Eventer98]

Hi Peeps! My report cards are DONE!! Now I just have to put grades and attendance on the cume folders on Tuesday and I will really be done! Take a look at my ticker....I am finally to the point where I am thinking next week at this time I will be... I can't wait! We went shopping today and I picked up the last few things that I needed and I finally found a pair of jean shorts. We were going to see POTC at the drive in this weekend but it has been raining! I want to see it before we go. I was never really into Johnny Depp until these movies came out. What is it about a pirate with eye liner? Out of the Ocean's 13 guys I have to say it is Brad Pitt all the way. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

What's your itinerary for your trip??
I honestly can't decide with the Oceans 13 guys. I like Pitt for the way he articulates (talks?) Hard to explain. He has a small lisp or something. Yum.

That's great news!!!! Are you going to be a "grand gathering?" We have always wanted to stay at the Poly!! DH and I talked more about a "beach" vacation next summer at either Hilton Head or Vero Beach. I think we are leaning twds. HHI but not sure if there will be studios left by the time we can book thru DVC.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, EVERYONE!!!

Yeppers..Princess Frosted Flakes. They were on sale for $2/box and I had a $1 off coupon. Can't beat that!!

Funny Punkin! It was a show within the show. What a bargain!

NOT PETER PAN!!!! I love Peter!

You guys HAVE to wait till after allllllll the credits following POC III are done! There's SO much more! When me and Misty went, we left after we thought the credits are done. Oh no. She went to see it again with her family and said there's some COOL stuff after! Crap! I want to go see it again now!

PM and tell me what happens..I won't be seeing it again!!


Beautiful day here! My friend and I are going to ride the horses in a few. Had a dream last night then my best guy friend and I were being chased by a serial killer. That's the 2nd time this month I have had that dream. The first time we were hiding in an alley from him. I told him about it and he said to give him a head's up if he gets sucked into his bed like Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm St!!

We went this past Thanksgiving and it was fine. We arrived Sunday afternoon and had dinner at Concourse and then went to MK afterwards. By Wed. the crowds were picking up so if you wanted a particular fast pass you needed to get it early. If you planned it right youshould be fine. We have also gone the week after Thanksgiving--that Sunday after turkey day and that was as crowded as TG week was to me IMHO. Either way if you plan you should be fine. Are you going to do MVMCP?
We have done this twice and loved it each time. Good luck.

The Poly is my all time fave! I'm still trying to convince my mom that we need to switch our upcoming trip to the Poly (it's in 2 weeks! ) She says it's too much but she will admit that it is her favorite too. I think the biggest appeal for me is the transportation. Boat or Monorail to MK and walking distance to TTC for the Epcot monorail - no transferring needed. Plus it just seems so classic disney to me. I just love it.I have stayed at CR as well but did not like it as much although the rooms are gigantic! Poly rooms are big too but the CR room was, huge!

I need to vent about something and I feel funny talking about it with my mom so you all are getting stuck reading it.

It's no secret that my dad is not doing so great. He mentioned in his voicemail on my bday that he had had some bad sessions plus he did not sound well at all.

Well this morning my mom was out front with Phoebe when a former co worker of my mom and dad drove by and asked about my dad (he's actually a jerk and was totally fishing for info) Anyway, this coworker said he too heard that he isn't doing very well and that he has been calling people to make "amends". This is hugely upsetting for me. I have so many conflicting emotions going on its not even funny. Then I get all selfish and think why is this happening to me, right now? I don't deal with this kind of stuff. I don't have heart to heart talks. They make me incredibly uncomfortable - with everyone. Especially with someone who I have had such a not so great relationship with. It sounds so forced to be all "I love you...etc." But then I feel bad and selfish for thinking things like that because he is my dad and he's (apparently) dying of cancer! Part of me knows I will be devastated when the time comes and part of me is just "eh, whatever it's not like we were that close." How horrible am I?

Anyway, just needed to vent. I'd take some advice or thoughts too if you have them but not necessary.

i can never sleep when we talk about WDW right before bed, either! so you're not alone. and congrats on staying at a monorail resort......how cool! ray asked me when we were eating at kona last time, "how come we didn't stay in one of these hotels?" and i was like, "um.......$325 a night. any questions???" one day, though!!!

You are not horrible at all! I think these emotions are pretty normal considering the relationship between you and your Dad.

I hate when people are nosy and fish for info, that is just none of their business. I try to come up with a way to nicely tell them it's none of their business, so that they get the point, but I don't look bad. In a situation like this, I would just say that I'm uncomfortable discussing my Dad's condition with anyone other than close family friends.

sorry for your struggles with this - I know you'll figure out what you need to do. Maybe just listen and let him have the opportunity to say what he needs to. After seeing him and hearing what he has to say you may feel differently than you expect. Praying for you.

am i the only one who completely got turned off of brad pitt after he dumped jennifer aniston and got with angelina jolie, who he had just done a movie with? just seemed too fishy to me. infedelity is so not sexy!!! of course, i don't know the whole story. that just rubbed me the wrong way though. he's still very fun to look at!!!

i honestly don't have any words of wisdom for you, but just wanted to pass this along..... maybe if you talked to him just to hear what he has to say to you you'd feel better about the situation. at least it will give him a chance to get whatever it is off his chest before it's too late if he really is very sick. i don't know the situation between you and your dad so i'm not sure if you'd be comfortable with that. go with what your heart tells you!

I totally agree with you on this one punkin!

 

[HockeyKat]

Shannon, so sorry about your dad. And no, what you posted doesn't sound awful to me. I am so bad about "heart-to-heart" and emotional stuff that I am even having trouble posting this to you!!

I feel like you do about Brad Pitt, punkin. The Angelina thing turned me off. Orlando is super-yummy, but Depp, well, I just can't get past Edward Scissorhands.

S.Poppins, Contemporary looks awesome, so does Poly... DH loves Poly. We discussed doing our first night in September at Contemporary, before our DVC stay, but paying cash, after DVC discount, to extend our Beach Club one-bed was about the same as a potential AP rate on a tower room.

I was invited to a BBQ today and decided not to go. Honestly, I really didn't want the temptation, plus it was a 45 min drive and w/ gas prices as high as they are... instead I am relaxing at home.

I am watching the Season 2 Biggest Loser marathon today on Style. It is really inspiring, and even made me cry once or twice. I can so relate to them. I really wish, though, that they would put the heights up with the weights... After checking the heights on NBC.com, I think 145 is a good goal weight for me at 5'8. Ryan is 5'7 and looks amazing at 147.

DH and I did a super-shopping trip to Walmart last night and stocked fridge, freezer, and pantry with dietary foods. I am so happy that he is fully on the wagon with me. I think it will help me immensely to stick to this, plus I am excited that he is going to lose weight (is that awful of me??).

Food for today:
L: Leftover steak (160) sliced thin and used for a wrap w/ a light flatout (90), small amt of light mayo (20), and small amt of reduced fat blue cheese (30). Salad, 100, and sliced apple (50), w/ calorie-free caramel dip. Total 450
S: 1 slice ham (10), one lightnfit yogurt (60), one packet chocolate/caramel chex (100)
D: Pork chop (320) marinated in carribbean jerk, spiced rum, and pineapple. Grilled quarter pineapple (50). Likely to add mashed cauliflower, 100.
Total for the day will be 1100, may add a snack later to get it up to 1200. I am considering dragging DH's old wee stepper machine out of the garage and trying it out, and then doing some crunches and maybe checking out the free-on-demand exercise shows on TV.

I would love DH to lose weight as well but b/c he has a thyroid problem it's hard for him. He usually skips bfast and has a sandwich, ice tea and chips for lunch. Dinner is whatever I have. He doesn't even snack but can't lose a pd. I feel bad for him. He doesn't exercise though. We did try Tae-Bo but let it go. Maybe I can get him back into walking this summer. he does play softball 3x's a week June-Sept though! That's something!


Food for today-
B-cheerioes, 2 pieces wheat toast, sk. milk, light OJ
L-hot dog, mac salad, a little pot. salad, baked beans, a few chips
S-Eddy's slow churn ice cream (my FIL bought it just for me...how do I say no? Luckily I didn't take it with me when we left their house!), crystal light.
D-probably fruit..neither of us are hungry for another meal.

 

[pixie dust 112]

Hey peeps! I am so excited! Got home from our Memorial Day parade today and there was a DING from SOuthwest for the flights I had already booked. SO I rebooked. My original flights were $59 each way, which I thought was fabulous. Now the way to Orlando is only $44.00 each and the way home is $49.00 each! For the 4 of us I saved a total of $100.00! Now I have a $100.00 credit to use before next May 26th!!!! Maybe when another good DING comes up DH and I can sneak away for a romantic weekend somewhere!
WOOO HOOTY!!!

My DH has to lose weight too. He plays basketball 3 mornings a week (He's at the Y at 5:30 am every M, W, and F!!! But he needs to eat healthier. I think he may jump on the weight loss wagon soon tho. He was commenting yesterday and today that he looks like the before picture for wieght loss commercials!

Good luck! The hardest part about it is they have to realize for themselves, though... telling them they need to lose isn't any better than vice versa. Mine does okay on the food, but has finally come around to stopping the beer and the need to exercise.

Congrats on the DING!

I was good, I did 35 min on the stair stepper thing while watching the Biggest Loser. I have no idea how many calories that thing burns... it is one of those little portable ones that is just two feet and a resistance knob. I also did 30 straight up crunches, 20 obliques on each side, and 10 reverse. I think I need to start taping that show because it makes me get my lazy butt off the couch better than any exercise video.

Okay, off to the hot tub... have a skinny week everyone!!
