Wow! I am so behind just from not being on the last couple days! Yeowza! I don't know what I will do when we go away!!
This is sooo scary! My DBF it telling me how we aren't going on ToT or Space Mountain now! He is such a fraidy cat! Dammit! And our friend (DBF's roommate) told us this happened at the 6 Flags close by us! It freaked me out a lot more because our Superman is a rollercoaster so I even got scared! I feel so awful for that poor girl! My prayers have been with her!
yep...i'm a shorty. i'm used to it, though. i was so excited at WDW because donald and daisy duck were actually shorter than me!

i'm 5'3", but my sister is 5'9" and my brother is 6'5". i definitely got the short end of the stick....get it????
I am a shorty too! Except for my family is too! lol! I am 5'2" and my mom is the same... my dad is 5'10"- my brother in law and DBF always tease!!
Any room for a new girl? I just weighed this morning and I need to lose 61 lbs.
Always room for more!
Do we need an EXERCISE CHALLENGE
Ok - its the weekend, I've for sure fallen off the wagon.... I pledge to do 100 ab crunches each day - and report on Monday... 100 side widdlers... and 100 back arm raises...
who's with me?
Just remember the quote from Bob Greene on Oprah:
"IF you dont commit to the exercise then you DONT want to lose weight"
I don't know what an Exercise Challenge is but I love it! And I wish I had read this earlier- I will def do crunches, side crunches and all tonight and tomorrow!
Attention Experts!
I'm trying to schedule our park days & such and
wanted to know how many times should I plan to visit each park. (for example- I don't want to have too many days planned for MGM and not enough at AK.) We will be there 11 days & this is what I have so far:
Day 1: Arrive in the afternoon, check-in, & go to MK
Day 2: Morning- DTD (to buy candy to send home to family for Christmas)
Evening-
MVMCP
Day 11: Morning- MK before heading home
Each day we plan to visit a park in the morning, eat lunch around 11, go back to the room and rest before getting ready to leave around 5 each evening & then we will go to a park for a little while before calling it a day
I guess what I'm basically wanting to know is where you (if you had to choose) would spend your evenings at, and I'm guessing that it would be mostly Epcot or MK.
Sorry to confuse any of you.

I'm so stressed right now trying to get days scheduled so that I can make our ADRs. We are 176 days out now.
I highly recommend TourGuideMike.com or *****************... I paid for TGM and made our entire itinerary- there are banner links on the Dis often and you can get the service for only $18.95 when you click from there. It has SOOO much information, along with recommendations for ADRs (I had picked ours already, however) and what parks to avoid each day and such. I think it will really help us get around crowds and such. Also, I have just been checking TP site as our vacation days show up free. Hope that helps, what are you thinking about for ADRs?
Hey all! I'm a dork (most of you don't know me that well yet, but trust me, it's true).
You know we're having a peeps meet, right? and also meeting some other people from the dis that will be around at the same time.
Well I think for those that can't go, we should have a virtual meet.
And I think I've picked the time!
I'll be at
MNSSHP while the Peeps are watching Hallowishes from the Poly.
So here's the deal.
You have to make a deal with me here and now. At 9:30 PM EST on September 28, 2007, we'll burst into Somewhere Out there!
And we'll make everyone that can't be there go outside and sing too.
Heh.
For those that don't remember, here's the lyrics.
Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
I would so do that, alone though, since I don't think there are any Hudson Valley, NY peeps... but don't leave me stranded!
Hey! I'm good. I pretty much got right back on the wagon following our WDW trip, but haven't had much posting time.

Work has been crazy! And I've been working all week on the pictures I took at that wedding last weekend. (Well, when I've had time, that is.) She was a co-worker, and her photographer had a time limit so I took pictures for her while she was getting ready. She comes back to work Tuesday, but I'd like to get her pictures finished and on CD today. The other people at work have been asking about them, and if I can take it to work on Monday, they can see them then. And I won't have to worry about it anymore.

My house is also a mess because my mom couldn't clean this past week because of the fair. (She is still heavily involved with it. DH left the Fair board and our talent show director post a couple of years ago due to time contraints.) We have lots of little trip plans in the works for the summer. (Six Flags in a couple weeks, Indy at some point, Chicago mini peep meet

, Cedar Point, maybe Great America or Lousiville Six Flags too.) And July 28th is when my friend's wedding is that I am photographing! That will be here before I know it! So, I am busy, but I am good. I wish I didn't have to work full time, so I could have more time to work on the photography (and DIS

), but that's not an option right now. I am good though. I

summer, and I am making the most of this one!
I know how you feel, first hand about photog and work. My mom has this wonderfully amazing talent at baking and decorating cakes. She does everything with such precision and they come out just perfect. I can't even belive some of the things she makes are edible. But she has to do it "on the side" and it stresses her out sooo much. I hope one day you are able to commit all your time to photography- you are so talented!
