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

[eeyore45]

BB FANATIC HERE!!

and I read the live feed and watch youtube - and one thing that bugs me to NO end is some of the scheming that is shown, and some that NEVER will be... for instance - Eric - he has the worst language! and how ED and Eric rant on women, the words they use are so disgusting...

Jen tried as HOH to get her nominees and POV - and she is up and villivied - yet ED goes off on the women, continuously spewing crap - same goal as Jen, but he has his "Late Night talks" and its ok by the house??? So I am conflicted on ed - he cleans and does so much minial work around the house...

Dustin called a "meeting" about the POV and what to do "if" and its hysterical... he ran it using Rogets Rules of order!! are you kidding me???

this is the website I go to - there is a screen cap thread that's fun to look at the pictures they've captured... there is also a thread on youtube called "Live feed video" IF you want to see what CBS cannot show - it doesnt fit with the "story lines" they are creating! (ie the Dick and Danielle reunion show!! <insert vomit icon here> ) (I Truly believe it is all for sympathy, dick and danielle are acting here - they were in contact before the show, and during their interviews! They are both BB addicts!!)

Hi everyone! I'm just checking in. I don't have much time right now, and I haven't had time to read all weekend, so I think it's unlikely I'll get caught up. If anyone could give me an update, that would ROCK!

I did see we had some newbies, so WELCOME!!! This is a great place!

I still have tons of work to do on the wedding photos from this weekend, so my evening this week will be spent doing that. Well, that and trying to find a time to do the recipe journals I have so I can hand them off to Sandy this coming weekend. Sandy, are we still meeting at Doorway to Dreams this weekend? We WILL be there!

The wedding went as well as could be expected. The groom couldn't make it to the rehearsal, but he was a real trooper the day of the wedding. He will be in a neck brace for the next 4 months! Apparently, he is lucky to be alive! His broke his C5 vertebra. Scary! The couple was seated for the ceremony, and the ceremony was shortened to only about 15-20 minutes. So fast! Plans were dramatically changed, and I didn't get nearly as many pictures as I had planned. I still got a LOT! But there would have been more if I had gotten to follow through on more of the ideas I had. That's OK though. I got a lot of good shots, I think. I can't wait to show the bride, but I don't know yet when that can be because she has to take care of her new husband all week, and may even have to stay home from work longer to care for him. DH and I may have to take a laptop over to their house sometime. We'll just have to wait and see how he is doing. The groom was still all smiles even though everyone knew he was in pain. It was a very touching ceremony and reception with everything that was going on. I'll try to post a couple of pics later on, after I have done a bit more work on them.

I hope all is well with everyone else!

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend! I spent a lot of time working on continuing education stuff to renew my license in October - boring x 10.

My goals for this week are:
Eat within my calorie range
Exercise 5 days this week

Best of luck to everyone -- hope you have a terrific Monday!

 

[MJMouse]

Well... I am adopting a new baby. A kitty that is... My pup and I went to meet a kitty cat on Friday morning and they got along fairly well. So we are bringing her home this evening. She is a stray that has been haning out at my coworkers house for a while now -- won't leave the patio, so we don't think she's "owned" by any of the neighbors. Co-workers mom took her to the vet this morning where we found out that she is maybe a year old, female (thought she was male and was going to name her Duncan ), and doesn't have FIV or FeLK. She got her rabies and distemper shots this morning and the vet was going to shave her belly to see if she'd been spayed already (he was thinking that she is since she's not developed).

I'll post a pic later. Goodness I hope she has good inside manners!!!!!!!

I so don't know wheat to name her anymore (since I thought she was a boy). I'm thinking Cricket, Sassafras, or Chloe.

Wish me luck!

 

[punkin413]

Wooo Hoootie! Disney money!

EXACTLY!!!

And it is odd how I find myself suddenly rooting against Evel Dick. Two weeks ago he was my favorite player in the game. Now I can't stand him. He's just a big bully who needs to be taken down a few notches. Hope everyone has a great week!

what i don't understand is his "strategy." he said something about how he confronts people about their lies in front of everyone so everyone can hear it and it's all out in the open. and i understand how being open and honest is the best policy in the real world. but this isn't the real world....it's big brother! and all that's going to do is make people feel like they can't say ANYTHING around him and he's gonna be gone soon because of that. not that i would mind! he's not my least favorite, but by far not my favorite either. i think right now i'm liking jameka and justin the best. i also liked mike but since he's gone that doesn't matter. danielle just hasn't done anything to impress me yet......i don't like how she whines when she talks to her dad. eric has this nervousness about him that bugs me. jessica and kail are just flat out annoying and jen......don't even get me started. i wonder if amber knows how stupid she looks??? hmmmmm........seems i'm annoyed with the whole cast, huh? i just don't really like any of them this season. there's definitely no janelles or howies......that's for sure!!!

One way or another I will be there....just not sure how many days exactly.

so are you coming??? fill us in!

 

[HockeyKat]

Gosh darn it... No gym for me. Still haven't eaten lunch although I managed to stuff an apple and a sugar free pudding down my throat. I am on the never-ending conference call yet again. Started one at 11AM and have had a sequence of them and I am STILL on the phone at 3PM. Grr.

I am going to try and escape to the gym and back to work when this call is over as I hate going to the gym after work... too crowded and I have less energy.

 

[mousehouselover]

MJ~ We have a Sassafrass and call her Sasi. I love Cricket too though.

Kat~ Sorry to hear you're having a rough time getting to have lunch. That's one of the things i hated about working for the vet. Just because we didn't see patients during the lunch hour didn't mean we could sit down and eat. We were busy with hospitalized pets, finishing patient notes and getting patients ready for discharge. Some days I had to hide in an exam room so I could work with out a bunch of interruptions and manage to grab a bite of lunch.

So far so good for me today. I've had more than 1L of water, 3 servings of fruit and a serving of veggies. I was happy with the number on the scale this am and hope that it gets prettier as the week goes on.

Here is my house story from last week: The brick guys showed up on Tuesday and I found out we did not have any sand and that was needed to even begin. So I called our builder and he had some there in 1.5 hours. While the sand was coming the brickers were getting everything ready. I up to the owner and say here is where I want the second step -- he then says that the step even though we discussed it was not in the price and it would be extra so I go the bank and take money out of my account and tell the guy to make the step and DO NOT MENTION EXTRA MONEY to my husband. Do not even put it on the ticket. He laughed and did as I said. About 3 hours later he approaches me and says you need to get another bundle of bricks or we won't have enough to finish. So I call the brick company and luckily they had a bundle there. We get that and they were able to finish.

Wednesday I start out at 8:00 and head over to the tile place since our tile was in. They had everything delivered by 9:30 and all I looked at was to make sure the color matched what we had. They ordered the same tile by using the skew number. At noon my DH gets home and the builder arrives--the tile guy should be there by 4:00 to start. My DH comes in and says the tile is wrong--WHAT!!! Yes, it is the same color, but the wrong size. Our tile is 13x13 and this tile is 12x12. Well of course we cannot get in touch with anyone at the tile place because because it is lunch time. So we call teh company that makes the tile and yes, they use that skew number but it is no longer for 13x13 because they no longer make it--they only make the 12x12, buy did not let anyone know the size changed Now what do we do. We decide to bust up 100 sq. feet of tile, put a border between the old tile and new tile at an entryway. This was not any easy decision and we did not even know if it would work until the tile guy showed up. We now have to overnight 120 sq. feet of tile so the tile guy will have all he need for the next day. We also find out it is a lot more expensive to bust up tile than to lay it On Thurs. they begin busting up tile and I have not even finished cleaning up that mess of dust--it is everywhere.

Thurs. I head out to get extra tile and have many other things that I have to get accomplished for the backpack outreach. Part of that was picking up the the pallats of school supplies from walmart that I ordered the week before. I call Walmart to see how big the load was so I would know what size trailer to bring--this was at 11:45--the nice person that I spoke to said not very nicely those items have been restocked . It takes me a minute to compose myself and I politely talk with the lady and she tells me to call back in 10 minutes. I give her 15 (b/c I am now cyring b/c of all the stress) and call back--sorry there is nothing she can do, but I could order the items again. I let her know that I have a team of people that are meeting in less than 6 hours to seperate school supplies and in less than 48 hours I am in charge of a huge community outreach to pass out these backpacks--all she said was WOW!! So at 1:30 I head to WalMart and speak with a manager and tell him what has happened. Long story short he looks at my list of items to pruchase and says this is a lot of stuff--yep over 4 grand of merchandise. He calls over the ealkie several associates and they start working on my list. At 4:30 I arrive with a trailer at the church and just finish doing what I have to get done before people arrive at 6:00 to unload and seperate into grades. On Friday I spend 4 hours going aroung town picking up items that WalMart did not have and at 6:00 that night I meet with another team to stuff 150 backpacks. On Saturday we met and had a great time handing out backpacks to excited kids. Everything went well and if you did not know about the problems earlier in the week you would not have known anything went wrong. I was interviewed for the news and that was fun.

The past 2 days I have been cleaning my den, new addition, and kitchen of all the tile dust. Tomorrow I will work on my dining room, foyer and study--hopefully all those rooms will be in order before I go back to work on Wed. morning.


Things are going much better now and I am just waiting on the painter to finish so the elctrician can come and then they can finish the outside projects. Should be done by FRIDAY at least that is what they are telling us.

I hope that everyone is having a great day--It is going well here.

Congrats to you!! YOU are a hero!!

Here is my house story from last week:

and

Could I trouble you guys for some pixie dust? I'm heading to the dentist to get my filling replaced tomorrow morning. The Dentist says it is a 1 out 10 in terms of complexity, meaning it is like the first filling they teach dental students to do. Thats what he tells me anyway. Anywho, I'm relatively calm now but I know when I get there I will be sick to my stomach and extremely nervous. Please send some dust that it goes by quick and pain free!

Thanks Peeps!

 

[DISNEYRIFFIC]

WOOHOO!!! another LOSER!

and from Wiconsin? Cheesehead!!

I'm getting last minute courage before heading with fdil!! Hope my knee hold out!

Yes, I am a Chesehead from Wisconsin. Probably one of the reasons I am in the situation I'm in - because I love cheese

Good luck on your race. Maybe you should sprinkle some Pixie Dust on your knee to help you make it the whole way.

Last night I did do 45 minutes on the tred mill, and am off now for tonight's work-out. Wish me luck !

 

[eeyore45]

When my sson played hockey - travel hockey - we'd go from Kenosha to sheboygan - Petit Center Wakausha... all over SE Wisconsin!!

Have fun on the treadmill... I got NOTHING accomplished today - I took TWO naps (and I slept great last night! ) I am feeling hot flashes - or some such nonsense! I think I'm mental - trying to get the resume in, fear of everything going wrong... trying to hold on to positive mental attitude!! (PMA!)

so are you coming??? fill us in!

OK, if Amber cries one more time I am gonna lose it. Does she have any idea how silly she is for crying over peopel she has known all of what, 3 weeks now? Ugh.

As for the trip...sisters and I were talking and remembered we have some ancient (circa 1997) tickets with some days left on them. I think they only have 2 days, but better than none. So as of now....the plan is to arrive Friday and leave Monday if we cant swing more than that. Do the parks on sat/sunday at least and take the rest as it comes. If I can afford to add some tickets on, great. And I think as long as I am on property I can still get the dining plan, right? I dont have to buy park tickets to get that right? We paid out of pocket for it last year and it was still well worth every penny. (You figure in one TS per day out of pocket and it is paid for itself.) So I guess my point is, that if I had to go for just a short trip and pay for tickets on top of everything else it would not be worth it really. But if my only expense is the room, food and getting there it seems more possible for a short trip. With or without sisters along. At this point I am hoping they still come but if they dont I can do it without them! It is too important to me to give Amanda one trip before the baby comes.

Here is my house story from last week: The brick guys showed up on Tuesday and I found out we did not have any sand and that was needed to even begin.

Thanks guys!! I didn't get out until 6PM but I still stopped by the gym and did 45 min on the elliptical, 3.5 miles. I was so irritated at my day that I took it out on the machine, which probably helped my workout! I also did my 100 crunches, on the ball. 50 were straight up and 25 on each side.

Hi everyone! I'm just checking in. I don't have much time right now, and I haven't had time to read all weekend, so I think it's unlikely I'll get caught up.

hi, lynda! looking forward to seeing the pics!

i'm glad that amanda will get to go!!!! as far as the DDP, i think that's just connected to your resort stay and the park tickets are totally separate.

to big love fans - if you haven't watched tonight's episode yet, i'm just gonna say one thing.....WATCH IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH UNTIL THE VERY LAST MINUTE!!!!!!
