DISappearing Peeps...Vol. 3! All are Welcome!

[mommaU4]

Today I am doing one of my least favorite things in the world going to look for a bra for my wedding dress ...ok ok..its not totally terrible I just hate shopping for bras in the first place but I really have to try them on this time and I would rather not do that...i also need to find wedding shoes! it seems the latest craze is to get a pair of manolo's or jimmy choos for your wedding dress...which i dont get spending almost 500 to 1000 on a pair of shoes no one will really even see???????

I just ordered this for my ring bearer to use as his pillow how cute?!

and since I am a huge Mets Fan I got a Mets garter as my something blue!

you can see it somewhere on this link

I agree with you on the shoes, I don't get it either! That's too much money for something no one will see. If I spent that much on my shoes, I'd walk around with my dress hiked up so everyone would be sure to notice.

I love that pillow!! And that is a cool idea about the blue Mets garter.

News on the house...The people who love our house haven't made an offer yet. The DH wants to look at 2 more before they committ. From what their realtor said, they have already looked at ALOT of houses and he is sure this is the house for them. Who knows what's stopping him from making an offer.

Well, let's hope the wife gives him a swift kick in the rear and they'll make an offer real soon!

Afternoon Peeps!

Thanks for the PD on my job interviews! The one yesterday went well, I think. She said she should be letting me know by Thursday which is good - not too long to wait. I have another one tomorrow for another school district.

Good luck on the second one!
Waiting is so hard, but at least it's not too long.

Just wanted to share with all my Peeps - we just put a downpayment on AKV points. Woohoo, we're almost dvc members

Lynda: We will be in disney Aug 25-28, I don't know if we can swing that although it would be a good cover cause the kids don't know about it.

Nooooo way to much to do before a trip to be at a park like that.

there's still time in the spring I guess.

Oh, that would be a stretch! Well, we WILL get it together at some point! We may consider going earlier in the year next year.

Congrats! That's exciting!


LMO - I did the email sign up to let me know when that workout becomes available. It's looks like it'd kick my rear, but that may be just what I need.

 

[honeymo78]

Disneyfreak - I just checked out your pet pics - Jasper is such a cutie pie. Reminds me that I should take more pics of my beagle baby stitch

Thanks! Well, Jasper and Oliver are my "models" when I get a new piece of photography equipment or learn a new technique.

i just got back from a body shop "girls night out" foot care party and it was so fun!!!!!! my legs, feet and arms feel FABULOUS! if you ever get to go to one of these, do it. it's really fun! you get your own little foot soak and you get to try lots of stuff. anna and i are gonna have a co-hosting party together in september when i get back from disney. she tooks lots of pics (as always) so i will share some when i get them from her. i ended up spending $73 unintentionally!

here's the website in case you're interested in the products: http://www.thebodyshop.com/bodyshop/

i got the shea butter body butter, body scrub and shower gel package, the peppermint cooling foot lotion, soak and spray and a cute little beach bag.

oh, and i have a problem. our new neighbor up the road has the cutest beagle named buddy. i met buddy one day while i was out jogging - he ran right up to me. i talked to his owner that day and she seemed nice, but every time i drive by there, buddy is outside. i'm talking every time - like just a minute ago when anna was bringing me home at 11:00 at night he was out there. i don't see a dog house anywhere and i'm just worried buddy's not being taken care of, not to mention that he's gonna get hit by a car. most of you guys know how i feel about beagles. i'm thinking i should ask her if she wants to get rid of him because obviously she doesn't enjoy having him in the house. i really don't want a third dog and i can't afford more vet bills, but i'd happily take care of him until i could find him a good home. what do you guys think? i can't figure out if i want to keep my nose out of it or go with my gut and say something to her.

That party sounds great. I'll have to check out that link. Thanks!

As for the issue with Buddy, honestly, I'd say something. Maybe just strike up a conversation with her about Buddy. Pretend you have a question about something else and then casually ask her if she ever lets him in at night since you noticed him out really late. Then go from there, depending on what she says to that.

I don't know. I'm not very good at that stuff either, but I just know if you don't say something and he ends up hurt or worse, I'm sure you'll end up feeling badly. Good luck. That's nice of you to be looking out for Buddy.

love the body shop! esp the cocunut body butter

is there a way to call some sort of animal services without your neighbor knowing it was you and then maybe they can determine if the dog is being neglected.....or maybe i would ask in a casual away about taking the dog...neighbors can be touchy sometimes and she could possible intrepret what you ask her very poorly and then possibly one day when you are adding an extension on your house or didnt recycle, etc etc your neighbor will be the first one to bring it to the authorities in a spite ful way..

I agree with mommaU4 - I would try and casually drop it into the conversation that you've seen him out really late. Can he just run into the road from where they are keeping him? Poor Buddy.
Sorry I dont have more advice for you, it is so nice of you to look out for him and I hope you can get something worked out!

I am having a terrible week with the healthy eating, I seem to be in a bit of a rut and cant drag myself out of it! Its only 38 days till my wedding so now is really not the time for me to be in a rut! I need to hop back onto the wagon, lose this last 2-3lbs and get some excercise done!
Also, I need to get off the Diet Pepsi - I have no excuse for drinking as much as I have done this past few weeks, except that the bottles have been on offer (Buy one get one free) and I was powerless to resist
I can tell I haven't been drinking any water, Im bloated and lethargic so no more pepsi for me

Hope everyone is having a great day

i hear you about being close to the wedding and getting in a rut! My friend and I were talking last night about it (we both have a wedding coming up) and we realized we are putting 2 much pressure on ourselves and it is backfiring and that is why we are eating more than we should!

 

[DisneyLaura]

i also just booked my flight for next May to WDW!!! We are going to go May 9th and stay in port canaveral for one night. then from the 10th to the 14th I will be on the Podcast Cruise on the Disney Wonder! and then we will be at the beach club from the 14th until the 21st...I cant believe I got my fiance to spend a whole week at disney after the cruise..but i think he was kinda of bummed he didnt get to go to disney when i went on my bachelorette party. my brother and girlfriend will be spending the week with us in WDW as well...Cant wait!

You lucky girl you

I hate bra shopping too. Cute pillow and garter, perfect. As far as the shoes, I wore white, satin ballet slippers that I got from the bridal store, I had no trouble with my feet all day. My DH isn't that much taller than me (maybe 2 inches or so) and I didn't want to be taller than him, so the bridal place suggested those shoes and I tell you they were great.

For years I was the cardio queen and was always the same weight once i started doing weight 3 to 4x a week I lost 10 pounds...anyway I am so excited because Chalene Johnson is coming out with a 15 day workout program with cardio and weights which I love to do..it wont be out until oct i think but here's the link in case you are interested..

http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/chalean_extreme.do

Those look cool, I need some workout tapes but that's going to have to wait a bit.

News on the house...The people who love our house haven't made an offer yet. The DH wants to look at 2 more before they committ. From what their realtor said, they have already looked at ALOT of houses and he is sure this is the house for them. Who knows what's stopping him from making an offer.

Buy your house already. Maybe the wife will kick him in the can, fingers crossed for you

Dawn - I have been to one of those parties, when I was pregnant with DD2 and let me tell you, my feet were lovin' me that night. I got some body butter which I think was some kind of cranberry. Loved it. We have those store in our malls I wonder if they sell that there too or just at a party.

As for Buddy, I would say something too. I hate when people keep their dogs outside all the time. Our neighbor had their dogs outside in the dead of winter, yes they had a doghouse but still their pen was covered with snow. I would go for a walk and when you start talking he'll come out and then you can say something like "oh Buddy you're out here all the time". Let us know. We had a beagle too, I love them.

 

[punkin413]

thanks for everyone's advice on the buddy situation. if i don't see her outside the next couple of days, i think i'm gonna leave a note on her door that if she would like for buddy to have somewhere to stay during the day, he can stay at my house. i remembered that she told me she had kids who loved buddy so i doubt she'd want to get rid of him. and yes, he can run right out into the road. that's what scares me more than anything.....not to mention the 90-degree weather we have right now!

anna already sent me pics from last night. she is a picture FREAK....even more so than me! anyway, look how fun!

this was the body scrub.....i loved this stuff! it made my arm sooooooo soft!

the body butter smelled so good we wanted to eat it.

i just have to share a pic of becca's dog, jasmine. she's so cute!!!!

 

[lovealldisney]

Also, I need to get off the Diet Pepsi

DisneyGalUK:

I hear you on diet soda! I love Diet Coke! I was getting such bad heartburn and couldn't figure out what was causing it. Well as soon as I quite drinking soda. It went away and I feel less bloated and not so tired! I just did it cold turkey. It was a challenge but you can do it!! I now only have one a day with lunch. And I am ok with it I don't miss it as much as I thought I would.

As for the issue with Buddy, honestly, I'd say something. Maybe just strike up a conversation with her about Buddy. Pretend you have a question about something else and then casually ask her if she ever lets him in at night since you noticed him out really late. Then go from there, depending on what she says to that

punkin413:
We have sorta the same situation at our house in Iowa. Our neighbors have a springer and it is left outside in a kennel all day and night. Even in severe weather. He doesn't clean the kennel and the dog is filthy! I have made many complaints to the human society, they come and look at the dog and tell him what he needs to do improve his living conditions but they can't fisically take the dog. Well he makes his changes before they come back and all is fine again. I feel so bad for this dog they never take it out to play and all he does is just pace in is kennel.
I am kindof between a rock and a hard place. I want to ask about taking the dog so bad but then I think they will figure it out that we are the ones calling, and then something will happen to our property while we aren't there.

Can you make a complaint with your police department? I think I would casually ask about the beagel then take it from there if you think it is being negeleted. I hope it all works out.


Ok I have to tell you what happened at the Brewers game my daughter and I went to last week Friday. Well I took her to see the game for her birthday, we had outfield seats and inbetween innings she would go down and see if one of the players would throw a ball her way. ( all the kids were doing this )We had a bunch of elderly people next to us and she felt bad after a while making them stand when she would go back and forth. Well the seats behind us were empty and there were only a few elderly people at the end of this row. So she decided to climb over the back of her seat and go out that way. Well coming back to her seat the one elderly gentleman said to her and I quote "stupid girl why don't you go down your own row" She came back and started crying and told me what happened. Well I gave him my evilist glare, and was going to go say something but she told me not to for fear of us being kicked out of the game. I just told her to stay seated and when there was a break inbetween innings I would just give him the glare! Then when this group of people went out for food ect. the one couple behind us must have felt bad and had bought her a baseball. I thought that was really nice of them that made up for the mean man saying nasty things to my girl.

 

[Wonders10]

Punkin - that party looks like so much fun. Not really the same, but there is a salon here that does just mani/pedis (some hair stuff/waxing too I think) and it's open later than most salons. Anyway, it's like going out with the girls when you go there because included in the price is complimentary wine, champagne, water or soda. My DSIL took me there a couple months ago and it kills me that there isn't another one closer to my house.

Definitely stay on top of the Buddy situation - I wouldn't immediately ask if they want to give him up, offering to doggy-sit is a good idea though. Do you think they have an electric/invisible fence and that's why he is out so often? Either way, with summer heat, he should have some sort of shelter.


LOTS of news on the job front this morning. I've been off and on the phone since 9am! My interview with the school disctrict this morning apparently went great! She talked already with the contract company that is placing me and said she really wants me on board with her for the school year. Truthfully this is the ideal setting for me, because I get to move out and be on my own, work in a school, and still be close to my family. And the pay is not too bad either. So cross your fingers - I may actually have a contract in the works by the end of the week!

Hope everyone is having a great day

I hear ya!



Maybe JUST when you feel "the headache" coming on?

The time between headaches becomes less and less.

I know for me I lost a bunch of "weight" right away from quitting, which tells me one retains a significant amount of water from diet soda.

I don't know about you, but often times for me, diet Pepsi was drank INSTEAD of eating, so going off of it leaves you needing to figure out a better way to snack.

You are SO going to look smokin' HOT in your wedding dress! (And on your wedding night, I'm sure! )

Why are some elderely people so rude. That was nice of the couple to do that for her, see some people are still nice.

Looks like my kind of fun! (NO KIDS!!!!)

Aw, hang in there! Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm having a hard time with the DP too.

You'll do it. It takes time to break old habits.

Oh and Punkin, those pics were so great. You guys all looked like you were having a blast!

 

[LMO429]

DAWN great pics! looked like so much fun!
