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

[MA pigletfan]

I finally decided on the Vera Bradley tote I wanted. I got the "Vera" style, sometimes called the toggle tote, in one of the new fall colors. I can't remember the name but if you are familiar with Vera Bradley, it is the green and navy combo. I just love it...and I get to break it in tomorrow. Ahh, the little things that get me excited to go to school at 8 in the morning for 8 hours.

The boy called me.

And didn't leave a message.

Don't know if I should be or . Right now I'm . Who doesn't leave a message?

Oh and I just watched Big Brother. Smells like drama.

love Vera Bradley..i have the little bag in Capri Melon, with a matching wallet. One of my "rewards" to myself is when i hit -15 lbs i am going to get the "on the go " vera bag with matching wallet in the new fall color, i think its "blue mod" or something..it rocks!! trust me, i know all about the excitement of little things like that making other things exciting

the boy..the boy..the boy..why is it they are SO good at keeping us ladies guessing yah, and who doesn't leave a message..goodness!

 

[monymony3471]

I didn't!! I did do a metric TON of laundry though.



Great job! I am proud of you for buying and using exercise equipment. Just think of all the years you are going to add to your life by getting active! Better bone density, stronger heart... you will be there for your kids that much longer!

I am DYING!!!! My husband brought home 4 slices of pizza from his store meeting and I want it soooooooo bad. I wasn't perfect yesterday (drank a bit too much, probably wound up at 1600-1700 cals) so I really, really shouldn't. I did have one bite of the cheese slice which was a BIG mistake because I want to gobble down all 4 now. Where is that rope again??

Next time, cause I know I'm late posting this and have no idea what you did, I'd castrate DH for bringing it home and I'd dump it quickly in the sink squirting dish soap all over it while running the garbage disposal.

Sounds so fun...glad you guys had a good time! PF Changs is the best...hmmm, must go there sometime soon. I love the lettuce wraps and the Peking Dumplings (steamed of course). Yum!

Re: the DDP changes. It doesn't really affect me because I never have used the DDP and probably won't because then I can't use the FL Res or AP room only discounts. Plus we don't eat a lot of sit down meals. But anyway, it does seem kind of silly to not include tip since I'm assuming one of the advantages of the plan is the convenience of paying with a ticket and not needing as much cash to pay with.

I had a productive weekend. Worked on my school portfolio (a huge portfolio of all our best work, etc.), printed notes for my class this week, cleaned a little, and went shopping. I finally decided on the Vera Bradley tote I wanted. I got the "Vera" style, sometimes called the toggle tote, in one of the new fall colors. I can't remember the name but if you are familiar with Vera Bradley, it is the green and navy combo. I just love it...and I get to break it in tomorrow. Ahh, the little things that get me excited to go to school at 8 in the morning for 8 hours.

Then this afternoon I was in my room puttering around and I walk into the kitchen where my mom tells me my phone just rang.

The boy called me.

And didn't leave a message.

Don't know if I should be or . Right now I'm . Who doesn't leave a message?

Oh and I just watched Big Brother. Smells like drama.

That would even make me crazy. Maybe something interrupted his phone call and he wasn't able to leave a message. But, it would give me a reason to call him back to find out what he wanted, cause he did call ya know.

 

[dismom9761]

Hi everyone! I did much better on my diet today but I feel horrible tonight.My head is pounding and my stomach hurts.Maybe I didn't eat enough.

I just got done filling out a million forms for school.The kids start TOMORROW!!

 

[monymony3471]

Hey guys. Been busy that last 2 days and the forecast for here is hot, Hot, and HOT!!! Heat index is 100 or more. Kids have musical tonight at church and then we have school this week. Hope that everyone is doing well.

I hope you are staying cool. I know how hard it is to be comfortable in this heat. Stay hydrated. Busy moms forget sometimes. Hope you are feeling good. You are so close behind me. I am excited for you.

Well since I missed his call by literally 2 minutes, I did call him back when I realized he didn't leave a message. And no answer. So I just left a casual message saying that I saw he had called, didn't hear my phone, and I'd see him in class tomorrow. No call back.

I can't believe school is starting for you all already! Summer flew by. I often get headaches when I don't eat enough...so that could definitely be the culprit. Hope you feel better!

Next time, cause I know I'm late posting this and have no idea what you did, I'd castrate DH for bringing it home and I'd dump it quickly in the sink squirting dish soap all over it while running the garbage disposal.

I made a fruit and veggie plate and ate that, along with one bite of cheese pizza.

This deluxe DDP and DDP changes are bumming me out. I was really a big fan of the original DDP but they took so many restaurants out and DH will only do the deluxe DDP anyhow. The extra $60 + having to add tip is really irritating.

 

[Wonders10]

Wow, everyone must be sleeping in today. I can't believe I'm the first peep checking in this morning.

I'm at school already...first one here per usual. And it's just 8:00. I've been up since 6:30. Yuck. It's gonna be a long day as I'm already ready for a nap.

Hope Monday is good to all of you!

Is it too late to join this peep thread? It looks like too much fun! I got the link off Dawn's trip report and came to check it out.

I need some weight loss accountability and support. A few years ago I lost 40 lbs on ww. This past year or so I gained about 20 back. This spring lost about 10 and intended to keep going. Unfortunately, I am starting to inch up. I need to get going again and put a halt on my stress eating. My timing is probably a bit off considering my husband just left for two weeks of training and I am single handly parenting five (yes five, not a typo) girls. It's going to be an interesting two weeks!

 

[monymony3471]

Well I got my usual 3 hours of sleep last night.

Been up since 5:30. So I was up, just didn't get around to logging on until now.

I think with all the bathhroom trips and just being so anxious, I couldn't sleep. The last 3 nights getting around 5 hours of sleep seemed like heaven.

It's the last week, my head is spinning with all the last minute things I want to do.

I need a bathrobe. I have to get Matt's prescription filled for his Epi-shots (they expired). I have to install the base for the carseat, no biggie there, just have to do it.

My bags have been packed. Just waiting.

It's funny, I've been cooking real large meals, and freezing half of them so there's stuff for when I get back from the hospital. I know DH could use it while I'm away, but I just don't see him doing that. The kids will be in their glory. I can see fast food in their near future!

Plus they will be with family while I'm in the hospital. My sister and my mom will be taking them.

I got some special things for them packed when they come to visit at the hospital. That reminds me, if my sister is bringing them then I should include her kids in the goodies. See it helps to put this out there to see just how organized I am.

K, back to cleaning..................

It's never to late to make a postive change.

Just jump right in and let us know of your progress.

Weigh-in's are on Friday's.

Oh ya, you have to post a bikini pic so we know you are serious.

Just kidding.

 

[pamrob]

Oh, I don't think you could get me to take a bikini shot even after my weight loss!

I did get a good chuckle out of the notion though!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

Well, the outreach event at church went well. I had plenty of help at the game booths which was nice. DS stayed in the fishing booth and attached little prizes to the fishing pole. BUT the heat index was 99 with 50% humidity. And after 4 hours standing around in that sauna, I came home and crashed. Slept 11 hours. NOMonica.

RE: Kirstin Dunst....my DD13 has been told many times that she looks like her. Although DD's teeth are straight and she is by no means scrawny....she's got 2 inches and 15 pounds on me. DD actually looks more like a Jumanji KD than an Spiderman KD.

RE: Exercise....I go back to my exercise routine on Monday when the kids go back to school! I'm excited. I've really missed it and it shows around my waist.

Anyone else bummed that the 2008 DDP will no longer include tip?????

What??? I've gotta read up on that! With a family of 5 our meals often come to around $175 or so and tip on that is substantial. I feel sorry for the servers. I bet they'll get rotten tips.

Is it too late to join this peep thread?

Pam! It's never too late! Five girls and all alone?

Monica!!!...You are so organized! I hope you get a nice long stay at the hospital. I think that for every child you have they should add one night to your hospital stay.

EVERYBODY HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

 

[punkin413]

I do however enjoy the Mayer...

*sigh*......you're not the only one! the show was awesome last night. i was kinda disappointed in the song selection because i only got 1 out of my favorite 3 songs, but i guess it's better than none. it's so funny that a pale, skinny white boy could be so soulful. and i'm sure some of you are rolling your eyes right now because all you've heard is "your body is a wonderland," but trust me........you don't know what you're missing! the best part was right before he started singing "bigger than my body" and he said something about this is how a real rock star moves....check out this daring rock star jump from the rafters....then he proceeds to jump off the drum platform which is like 6 inches off the ground as he starts the song...

oh, one other thing i've got to mention. we were on the first row of the nosebleed section and my friend anna's husband was sitting on the end of the row near the steps. before the show started while everyone's filing in, he goes, "oh my god" and of course anna and i turn around to see what he's gawking at. there was a rather plump girl with a VERY short denim skirt on walking up the steps and she had NO underwear on and you could see ALL her junk..... NOT a pretty picture!!!!! that was very traumatizing for me.

Anyone else bummed that the 2008 DDP will no longer include tip?????

i had heard rumors of this. so it's confirmed now? that stinks. i bet the servers aren't too happy about that because now they're not guaranteed 18 percent! although that may be why disney changed it....maybe they were getting complaints from people that they didn't want to leave the automatic 18 percent because the service was bad or something. i've heard of servers not being as attentive to DDP customers, although we never experienced that ourselves.

Lynda came up to Woodfield for the DVC AKV grand openings - It is AWESOME!! They gave us some cool free stuff, Mickey Ears, a cute gym bag that folds/zips black plastic - pins.... I'm sure there are photos up on the DVC Mousellenous thread - Lynda got a goofy picture - it'll take her awhile to make it home - 3 - 4 hours!!

We went out to PF Changs for lunch!!

i'm so super jealous!!!!! pf changs = yum. my favorites are the salt and pepper calamari and the dan dan noodles.

Who doesn't leave a message?

my husband.

i really have to read up on this. this change does NOT sound good to me. i'm off to find info.....

just so you know, it's not that i think KD is ugly. i just HATE her acting! and of course her teeth bug me, too. and the girl needs to find a bra.

 

[lexmelinda]

the girl needs to find a bra.

AGREED!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! We had some friends over for the first dinner party in our new house. We tried to make it as healthy as possible without making it too boring for the people not on a diet. But the really happy news was that one of our friends who we haven't seen since Christmas time asked me right away if I had lost weight. Such a good feeling! Thankfully, he didn't make a huge deal about it. I definitely appreciate the occasional "you look great" comment, but I hate when people make a big fuss over it. Is that strange?

BB - That banner is really screwing things up for Eric. I wonder if/when he gets voted off, if they are going to have a new America's player? Or are they going to do away with that concept after he's gone?

DDP - I think the thing that disappoints me the most about the 2008 DDP changes is that it looks like they are doing away with the beverage on the counter service meal credit. So now you still have to buy your own drink or use a snack credit and a counter service credit for the same meal. Of course, it'll be a good 5 years before I head back to WDW, so it doesn't really affect me. I just don't like the direction that it is heading.

I have a wonderful snack to share with everyone!

It's this cereal called Quaker Oatmeal Squares!

Ohhhh they are yummy! I eat them plain after measuring a cup sized portion out. I've seen them in Quaker's version of Chex Mix and sought them out of the mix, but now I buy em as-is.

Kirsten Dunst's teeth do bug me too. Can't she afford invisaline braces?

The BANNER on bb8 is going to screw Eric! Poor kid! Evel is certainly opinionated on everything...and I think people follow him and his opinions . Can you imagine hanging upside down for over an hour with slippery bird poop showering on you? I have no upper body strength, so I would be a gonner after 2 minutes.

I have NO idea what singing program y'all are talkin about. I want to see the skinny soulful white boy! What show?

Good Monday Morning Everyone!! Hope everyone had a great weekend! I had a good weekend but ate & drank way to much (calorie wise that is!). I have a vacation day today and am meeting my sister & mom for lunch. I'm definitely going to try harder this week and start incorporating exercise. My back is starting to feel better so hopefully that's a good sign! I hope everyone has a great start to their week!

Well, I'm recovering now actually. I cut the bottom of my big toe getting out of the shower this morning, and fortunately I had a friend coming over. SHe had to take me to the ER! I got 3 stitches. It was insanely painful! The cut, not the stitches. Although the shot to numb the toe was THE WORST!

Ouch! I hope your toe is feeling better today!

i'm holding one out, but i've had a few drinks so you better grab fast cuz i might fall in with you! LOL

Okay, this is the story of my weekend. Those darn alcohol calories are a killer!

Yea in 8 days I get the GINORMOUS SPINAL NEEDLE!

This sounds very scary. I can't even imagine!

Well since I missed his call by literally 2 minutes, I did call him back when I realized he didn't leave a message. And no answer. So I just left a casual message saying that I saw he had called, didn't hear my phone, and I'd see him in class tomorrow. No call back.

What is with men, why don't they leave messages. I say, their dorks (okay did I just age myself by using that word?). I hope you hear from your guy!

Welcome! I also started on the board from Dawn's report recently. What a gal, spreading the love! And she's a great inspiration!

the show was awesome last night. i was kinda disappointed in the song selection because i only got 1 out of my favorite 3 songs, but i guess it's better than none. it's so funny that a pale, skinny white boy could be so soulful. and i'm sure some of you are rolling your eyes right now because all you've heard is "your body is a wonderland," but trust me........you don't know what you're missing! the best part was right before he started singing "bigger than my body" and he said something about this is how a real rock star moves....check out this daring rock star jump from the rafters....then he proceeds to jump off the drum platform which is like 6 inches off the ground as he starts the song...

Dawn, I was the one who said they loved John Mayer. I know exactly what you mean about his soulful voice. DH & my favorite song of his is St. Patrick's Day, I don't know what it is about that song but when we play it at home it never fails that we start dancing "cheek to cheek". I definitely want to see him live someday, soon!
