DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[mousehouselover]

PrincessV And think of all the calories I will consume on the DDP - I had better jog around the world.

We're going next week too, on the premium DDP..... I'd be jogging to if it weren't for

PS...... Some one mentioned that DH's could go to the 5K but they had to do the marathon..... Can my DH do it on crutches??!??!?!?? J/K more than anything but he can't run that much or his knee will give out on him.


PPS....... to all the new PEEPS! Dene, grumpyguy, GMax

Now no one mentioned Samoas #2 of Girls Scout cookie heaven!!! Ok going to eat a healthy snack before i seek out a girl in green

Uh, yeah!!! Samoas are my FAVE! Oh dear! Can DH get some and hide them from me until a cheat day? I hope so!

And UM, I am just now getting to post. I was reading at work some, and I did have to stifle some major giggles on several occasions, and your Wife Swap post was certainly one of those. So was the fiber muffin sit-up post and the dancing "banana" post from Grumpy. I know there were others, but that was a LOT of reading!

Welcome to grumpyguy!

Be back later with my totals for today.

Love y'all! And I just want to say a BIG THANKS to Monica and UtahMama. I was thinking today that the two of you are responsible for getting my over to this thread, and I am soooooooooo happy to be here! I can't say enough about what a great group this is!

Okay here it goes...

My name is Shawna and I’m 31 years old. I have a 13 year old DD name Morgan – who is the biggest joy in my life (but is currently stressing me out with her teenager attitude and Drama Queen life). I was married to her father (who was my High School sweetheart) for almost 11 years and have been divorced for almost 3. I have a wonderful DBF who I have been seeing since the divorce (we live together). I’m sure we will eventually get married and maybe have more babies (since I always wanted more and he doesn’t have any of his own). Dismom (who has been my best friend since we were 14) keeps telling me I need to get busy with this baby making thing if I am really serious about it. I figure I want to be done with the birthing part by the time I am 35, so I have a little more time to play with… Right now we settle for shared fuzzy babies – our two Poofies (kitties) that we adopted right after we moved in together - Kensey and Cosmo (Denny is a HUGE Seinfeld fan so the boy got named after Kramer and the girl got named after my father…I know, it’s a little odd, but hey, what can I say?).

I have lived in Newnan, GA since I was 6 years old (prior to that I was a Navy brat and lived in 3 other states). For my day job, I work as an International Lumber Buyer (sounds important if I say it that way). Actually I import wood to be used in our plants all over the country. I do get to travel to South America a 2-3 time a year and all over the country to our plants. I have been to Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. I hate being away from home and my family, but it is a great experience to get to see everything. I am hoping to get to travel to Europe in the next year or two. And the best part is I don’t have to pay for it!

In what little free time I can scrounge up, I like to scrapbook (except I go in chronological order and Mo is about 4 or 5 in my books…I need to get busy!!!), take pictures (to go in the scrap books of course!), read what ever I can get my hands on (I just got the latest Sweet Potato Queens book for Christmas and can’t wait to read it!), and just recently, torture myself at the gym with a personal trainer and/or cardio (Dismom is my work out partner…she has drug me off the couch more than once). Don’t get me wrong, I love the feeling of working out – AFTER I am done! I just hate the thought of it prior to…

AND I think the TIVO is the greatest invention EVER! I have so many “can’t miss” shows each week that I would never get anything done if I couldn’t record them. Loves me some Heroes, House, Lost, Smallville, Las Vegas, Two & a Half Men, My Name is Earl, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, and The War At Home…told ya there were lots of them! It really is a wonder I get anything done…

I would post a picture, but I can't remember my password to get into that place where I save my pictures (lovely...I can't even remember the name of the place / website...apparantly I have too much banging around in this head of mine...)

For taking the time to share with us!!

 

[winkers]

Ok ladies... he understands the code...

He added his own code. .. he so sooooo bad!!

Oh my heck! I didn't get that before and now that I've taken some cold medicine all of a sudden it made sense!

Ok here is the picture you asked for Utahmama. I hate to be the only one who hasn't posted my bikini picture.

 

[jeriber]

Grumpy, is that you?? Oh Jeriber.. you sounded just like grumpy.

How much is he paying you??

Sorry Bee I hear that from my DH ALL the time. He's really into exercise

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Here's my bio. I moved it up. I know DisMom and dragonfly said they were looking for it.

Also, I forgot to ask this the first time I posted this bio. Who can tell what the middle of my tiara looks like?

Good Afternoon Ladies!

I have been trying to catch up on some of this thread, and I was working on the bios this morning. I see why Monica told me this thread was too long to read before posting! And what a lovely group of women we have here! It is so nice reading and getting to know about you all.

UM:Hey, I don't know what your vacuum status is now since I'm not totally caught up here yet, but I own the purple Dyson, and trust me...you want it! I went through 2 vacuums within a few weeks of moving into our new house because of the new carpet shedding fibers. We gave up and got the Dyson, and I still love it almost 3 years later.

Now for my bio...well, I am 32 (for the next 4 days) years old, wife of DH for 4 years (5 in May), "mom" to kitty cat Oliver 3yo (never thought I would own a cat, but we are pretty sure he thinks he is a dog ) and beagle puppy Jasper 9mo (the cutest little puppy princess in the world who is not at all spoiled ), and professional photographer wanna-be. Let's see, what else? I went to Southern Illinois University for 2 years, majoring in Cinema & Photography, wanted to be a director, but film classes became cost prohibitive, and I ended up leaving school. I became a paramedic and firefighter for 5 years after that and before moving home to central Illinois. I began working at Best Buy when I moved home, and that's where I met DH. We were both getting our Associates degrees, mine in Computer Information Systems and his in Marketing and Mangement. He got a job at a car dealership as a salesman and has since been promoted to finance manager. I got a job in customer service at a large clinic in our area and then moved to the human resources department there. I like my job, but it isn't what I want to do forever. I have been studying photography on my own (much reading and practicing), and I have done my sister-in-law's wedding, senior pictures for a friend of my mom's daughter, some photos for a mailing that DH's dealership sent out, and I won a contest here on the dis for The Timeshare Store's latest brochure. Two of my photos are in the brochure, and I actually got money for that one!

Diet-related, I have always struggled with weight. Like I said, at my wedding I had lost some weight in order to fit into my dress. I had been maintaining a reasonable weight for a few years before that. It's hard to believe this was just 4 1/2 years ago!

Since then, I have gradually gained, and this is a recent picture.

I was having a bad hair day, but you get the idea. I especially hate the double chin and the extra tummy, and they need to go! So, today I am going to go buy that scale, and I'll probably be around here a lot! I need the support. So glad I found this thread (Thanks UM and Monica!). And if you want to know more about me and my Disney obsession, feel free to follow the link in my siggie to my trip report. (Another shameless plug! )

Ok, I burst out laughing at that one! My family had to all come over and look. They just shook their heads.

Notsogrumpyguy, if you look like that, you don't have any business being here. (J/K) We want to keep you because you have offered quite a bit of comic relief.

 

[mousehouselover]

Ok ladies... he understands the code...

He added his own code. .. he so sooooo bad!!

I missed that earlier.......... Good thing I don't have a drink at the desk right now or I'd be cleaning the screen too.....

Our husbands have a lot in common!!

Is it Cinderella's carriage? Can't really tell, but that is what it looks like to me.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

You got it! I was shopping at a bridal store that was going out of business, and I picked it up and knew I had found the tiara for me! Plus, it was on a super sale! I think it was $30-ish.

Oh sure I knew you would have to look...

 

[aldisneygrl]

That was perfect considering you spent your honeymoon at Disney.

 

[UtahMama]

Lynda, you were the most radiant bride!

Grumpydude- THANK YOU for the eye candy! I have a thing for body builders. DONT tell my DH, but I used to date Mr. Orange County in California...almost married him too!!!! HEY, I forgot to tell you, YOU are our official THREAD HUNK!!!! Well untill I drag DISUNC back...

Dragonfly- wow! really nice to meet you!

BackstageGalMarita- I love you! I love your lurkerness (you're my favorite lurker!)

Peeps who are about to go to WDW, go check out POP to see where we should all go! I vote for 80's but dont care as long as we're all together


OH, I'm trying to find a BIKINI picture of when I was thin and HOT..Smokin' HOT on a California Beach! Not kidding. Sure, I'll post it for ALL the world to see! I hafta find it first. It was pre kids back when everything was firm and smooth...sigh!

 

[lexmelinda]

Funny day....chatty peeps!

All caught up and marking my spot for in the morning.

It's 8pm EST....no snacks before bed time. You all behave!

Nighty night, kids!

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

Lynda- You will be there again. Very pretty picture of your wedding day. You both look very happy.

UTAH- Been a long time I have been a hunk....I will take it (even if I do get it by default). P.S. get the lead out on that Bikini picture ...I showed mine...lol

Everyone- thanks for the warm welcomes...I warned you I was a fun lover. I look forward to being here for a while.

BTW- have a new pizza recipe...Not fat free but about 1/3 of reg pizza. I am trying to become a good cook but so far very few things have turned out well. The Biggest Loser cook book ROCKS !!!

Melinda- Nighty don't let the food dreams bite.

 

[UtahMama]

PLEASE post the Pizza Recipe if it works!

I really like wheat crusts when very thin with tons of veggies! I have 8 points left and must use them wisely. Heyyyy, I out of popcorn. Dang!

Do y'all know what a Skinny Cow is? It's these lean ice cream shamiches that are kind of eskimo pie-ish. They have a no sugar added kind that I can have even though I'm lactose intolerant. Just one though. They even have mint ones.... 2 points!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Hey peeps,

I am already down on two order forms. I have ordered a box of Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs (the yummy PB ones). I go back to work tomorrow, and I know I will have to order more from my coworkers kids. I HAVE to because they have ordered wrapping paper and other stuff from my kids. It is only fair. Like I said before, I live in a house of skinny minnies, so they can eat them. Love the TM's straight out of the freezer.

Ok, I need your to keep me good at work tomorrow. The ladies at my preschool are very good cooks, and they are always bringing home cooked goodies. Y'all send me DIS strength through our DIS telepathy , so that I can resist. If I can throw away perfectly good cake, then hopefully I can resist temptation.

Gonna work on my bio. It'll be out soonish.

 

[mousehouselover]

I think I get the award for most pages read to catch up on a thread....... read them all!

I had to quote things here and there so I wouldn't forget anything.

I had a so so day. We have a consultant at work this week and it sounds like we're going to get tons more work......... I don't have time to do everything I already have to do and now we get more to do? I'm starting to think I made a really bad decision when I decided not to quit my job a few mos ago. I'm getting tired of working anyway, maybe they'll fire me. I feel for all of you who are jobless and struggling... we were there for several years but things have changed for us recently and it's taken a huge load off my mind. to those who are still fighting that beast.

Bad days for me always mean Chinese.... I used quite a few flex points tonight. I figure it's ok since I try to stay within my 20 pt limit most days. Last night I didn't have my snack and so I wound up with 15.5 pts for the day.

I put my Sherman Brothers CD in my car to help me get in the Disney mood for our trip. I love that CD! I sang along with the Tiki Birds on the way to work.

Haven't been on the TM yet, had to catch up here first. Gotta keep my prioroties straight y'know?

Gotta run, have to get my packing going and DH asked me to confirm our ADRs tonight.... Who is this man and what did he do with my DH??!?!?
