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

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Mine should come today or tomorrow--We should be TJ newbie buddies!!

Yey!!!! Good luck to you, I hope we are both nice and stiff after trying them!!!

 

[::Snow_White::]

Thanks everyone!

OMG we love this series. Have you read all of them? I'm on the last one (almost done). Utahmama hooked us all.

I've read them all. I just finished the fourth one a few weeks ago!

 

[UtahMama]

Wendy--I'm big into Weezer right now. I got the Red album and three songs from it are on Rock Band and I can't get enough. You should check it out if you haven't already!!

I think a Halloween challenge sounds great! I'm in for 10 pounds too!

I've read the Twilight series--As a children's Librarian I kinda have to. I'm a HUGE vampire fic fan and I gotta say there is WAAAAY better stuff out there, so I'm really biased. I absolutely hated the 3rd book which is pretty much exactly the same as the 2nd book. You could literally skip it and not miss much of anything that isn't explained in the 4th and covered in the 2nd. But I'm in the minority. I did enjoy the last one, but I wanted more of a climatic battle thing or something. I'm really glad she sped the plot along.

Anyway, welcome to all the newer newbies! i'm not the newest anymore! lol

1. OF COURSE I like the Red Album! LOL!

2. Aaron- Put me down for 5. Pipe dream? Cursing myself? Psssh. IF for some miracle I meet this goal, we'll up it a smidge.

3.Although I completely disagree on your opinion of the 2nd and 3rd book, I'd love know hear your picks on some other Vampire fiction (un-including Ann(e) Rice). Or other funny fiction too. I need more good books. I'm in need of the newest Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum mystery (#14).

Ok, I'm eating the CRAPIEST (but most deelish) cheapo Banquet frozen Salisbury Steak lunch. It has Barbie-sized portions of corn (2T. maybe?) and some "potatoes". HEAVEN!

and only 300 calories plus the diet "S'not" I sprayed onto my un-pototoes.

Well worth the 300 calories I plan on working off later

Y'all like Weezer? This video features many You Tube cult classics such as: The Evolution of Dance,
Miss S. Carolina, Chocolate Rain (OY!!!), Mentos and Coke, Numa Numa, Star Wars Kid, etc.

My DS19 is totally amazed I loooove Weezer and stupid things such as this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muP9eH2p2PI

At the end, all the snippets are combined together...Freakin' Awesome!

Love it! I like Weezer as well, and that video is great!

 

[UtahMama]

Guess whaaaaat?

It's BUNKO night!!!

Can I JUST say, it's not a moment too soon!

I'm completely burnt out with one of my daycare families!

The two kids in this family are affectionately named "Pooh Girl" and her side kick little brother, "Blow Out Boy" who DAILY have some kind of pooh accident/catastrophe: poohing of pants, a blow out that goes up the back and down the legs, pooh play-dough....you get the picture ( and you're welcome for todays' BIRTH CONTROL ) and if that isn't bad enough, the mama-bear is constantly pissy with life, job, her DH, and countless other troubles I'm sure she'd be thrilled I'm sharing with ya'll!

This family NEVER pays on time or the check bounces when they DO finally pay and...AND I charge her the same fee she originally had for part time 3 days a week (18 hrs) as the current FIFTY hours. She is known for shopping, tanning, napping after work prior to coming and getting them and her DH is often HOME all or most of the day while they are with me!!!! UGH.

I can't believe what a wuss I am to feel bad in telling her I can't watch them any more and not become and alcoholic or need an extended stay at the TIRED HOSPITAL! The ick-factor is she's my neighbor and "friend". UGH UGH UGH! *

So....really glad for BUNKO tonight where the number one rule is NO KIDS.
And, there may or may not be Mojito night! Mama like!







* Rant Over! Thanks for listening!

Aaron~ Are you having a Halloween challenge? If so, I'm going big & setting a goal of 10 lbs.

Today we had exam number one and I made an 84. The highest score was an 88.

Love the video. I'm a Weezer fan too, much to the chagrin of the rest of my family. My ring tone is Island in the Sun. My kids forbade me to use Hash Pipe

Harley, I didn't know that you are a librarian. I was a Youth Services librarian in the public library for 9 years, then a school librarian for 7 before they eliminated the position in my district. Now I teach kindergarten, but I still have a librarian's heart. I have really enjoyed the Twilight books. We watched The Jane Austen Book Club the other night, and I'm ready to go back and reread her novels (plus pick up a couple I missed the first time). Right now I'm in the middle of an autobiography by a young widow who became a chaplain for game wardens in Maine. She alternates between her own grief and healing, the search and rescue (and sometimes inability to rescue) operations of the wardens, and her own thoughts on spirituality. I guess you could say I'm eclectic in my tastes.

Stephanie Plum[/U] mystery (#14).

I have a B & N gift card burning a hole in my pocket. I think that's what I'll order next.

So....really glad for BUNKO tonight where the number one rule is NO KIDS.
And, there may or may not be Mojito night! Mama like!

Pooh kids call for mojitos. Did I mention I won a big bottle of mix at a conference this summer. I haven't opened it yet, but I did steal a sprig of mint from my mom's yard and start a plant in my kitchen for when I'm ready to crack that bad boy open.

Today we had exam number one and I made an 84. The highest score was an 88.

You go girl!

I was gabby tonight. Just sharing the love.

Aaron:
If we are doing a Holloween challenge then put me down for 10lbs as well! We have a wedding on Sept 27th!


Wendy:
Oh man sister hope you had a great Bunko night! What is Bunko? A women in our office plays.

As far as telling the Mamma Bear about her Pooh chillins just be honest with her in the nicest possible way if she is your friend I would hope she would understand. Or increase her rate she is paying tell her that it's for financial reasons that you need to increase her rate. Maybe it will be to much and she will find another place to take them. It sounds to me that she is taking total advantage of you and you need to say something. Speak up woman! If she takes offence then maybe she's not the friend you thought she was.


Have a great day everyone!!

 

[HockeyKat]

I might join the challenge, but not until I get back...

Punkin and I did get to meet and enjoy the Adventurer's Club last night, along with her friend and Mr Kat. It was nothing that I would have ever got Mr Kat to do on his own, so it was doubly fun to have been able to see if before it closes!!

I think she has pics which I am sure are great of her and awful of me.

That's okay, like I said, I'm in the minority--I just read SOOOO much (about 100 pages/day) that little things tend to annoy me more.

So some good vampire fiction--If you want something romancy--probably one of the best is Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series. It gets VERY graphic and over the top somewhere in the middle of the series, but her fans complained so much that she actually toned it back down and the last few books have been very good.

My favorite series is by Jim Butcher. It's called the Dresden Files. They made it into a TV show for Sci-fi last year, but it didn't do the books justice at all. Most fans kinda call it "grown up Harry Potter." The main character is a Wizard and there are vampires and all kinds of things--very exciting and very funny. I just can't get enough.

I can give you WAY more than that if you want...

Harley, I didn't know that you are a librarian. I was a Youth Services librarian in the public library for 9 years, then a school librarian for 7 before they eliminated the position in my district.

Have you read Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series? I don't think you can call your reading tastes strange until you become a fan of that series! lol I love them! But they're not for everyone--mostly English majors that had to read a ton of classics and people who love British humor--a la Monty Python.

I'm very glad I choose public librarianship as just about all the schools in this area have dropped their librarians.

DH and I LOOOOOVE the AC. Good thing you didn't go tonight. Thursday nights are INSANELY crowded. It's cast member night. Lots of inside jokes and stuff, which can be fun, but we literally had to come out of the library and then go stand by the doors in order to get a seat for the next show. It was terrible--not the way I wanted to remember one of my favorite things about WDW.

 

[missnarwhale]

Just noticed you are in Grand Rapids. I grew up near Los Angeles, CA. but almost all my family is in MI.
We moved out to Traverse City, MI from 2004-2007 before moving here to Vegas.

I miss it! Well, I miss the Summer and Fall. Not so much the winter.

Traverse City is such a beautiful place! I would love being that close to the lake. It's raining in GR right now, but I hope that this will cool down the weather and bring fall a little sooner! I would even welcome winter because it means my semester is over!




Officially, I've lost 5lbs since Monday, but I know that it's all water weight. It has to be! So I will be starting the challenge at 150, instead of 155.

I was really proud of myself yesterday. I had the weirdest, kind of bad but mostly weird, day and I stuck to my diet! Generally when I'm in a bad mood or feel bad I will eat whatever I want to make myself feel better, which of course makes me feel worse. I could not sleep the night before and ended up getting up for class at 6 instead of my normal 7. Because I was up a little earlier than normal, I drank way more coffee than normal, making me a little jazzy. On the way to school (I commute to school by bus, it's about 35 minutes) I had to stand! I was getting so sick with the bobbing of the bus and the coffee in my stomach! Once I was on campus a bee stung me in the face, and my faced swelled up like a balloon. Once I was out of school, I had to go directly to work (at least I got a seat on the bus!), where I proceeded to read pages and pages of classic slave narrative for hours, which nearly put me to sleep because I was so tired. Finally it was time to go home and to bed around 11 pm! The only thing I had to eat was a bowl of low sodium chicken noodle soup, and some peaces, so I made myself some noodles (Full Cirlce 100% Organic 210 cals a cup dry!) and a lean pork chop. But as I was checking them to see if the noodles were done, some boiling water that had gotten trapped in the noodle dripped out and burned my lip, which caused it to blister and match my bee sting. Finally I plop into bed around midnight and am about to go sleep when my boyfriend comes home and has a journalist with him. I forgot that the band had an interview for our upcoming album. So I had to get dressed, go to a bar, and have our interview which lasted until 2:30 am!

Thank goodness I only have night class tonight, and was able to sleep in, otherwise today would have been a horrible cheat day.


My friends have been trying to get me to read the twilight series because I am such a huge Harry Potter fan. I will have to try them out!

On a another note, I just booked our flights for Disney! Not too expensive and nice and early so we'll have a good chunk of time the day we get there!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

OK...so how is Halloween for the next challenge??? That's 9 weeks away. I'm in for that! I'll go for another 10lbs. Anybody else???

I've been way behind lately, so thanks for taking charge on this! (And by taking charge, I mean throwing down the gauntlet. I'll still be keeping track of the numbers.) Depending on how weigh in goes tomorrow (if this morning's number sticks, I'll be a very happy little boy), I'll probably be setting a goal of 7-8 pounds to get to 150.

So IF we do a Halloween challenge, I'll join and ask to be put down for 15 lbs again.

I'm in! I have to lose 10lbs by October 18th at 9 pm!

I would like to lose 6lb by Halloween (depending on how much I go up this week!!!!).

I think a Halloween challenge sounds great! I'm in for 10 pounds too!

2. Aaron- Put me down for 5. Pipe dream? Cursing myself? Psssh. IF for some miracle I meet this goal, we'll up it a smidge.

Aaron~ Are you having a Halloween challenge? If so, I'm going big & setting a goal of 10 lbs.

Aaron:
If we are doing a Holloween challenge then put me down for 10lbs as well! We have a wedding on Sept 27th!

I've got you all marked down. Good luck tomorrow!!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I'll be participating in the challenge too Aaron, but I'll wait until after tomorrow's weigh in to tell you what my goal will be. I want to see where I'm at, and I don't want to make it too much because we leave for WDW in 2 weeks! It's a shorter trip than we usually take though because we are going to Cali in November. We will be at WDW for about four and a half days, which means hopefully I'll do less damage on this trip!

 

[UtahMama]

Geeez! It's a ghost town around here!

Good Luck Peeps!!!!

(new kids ask questions if you're not sure what to do!)

 

[lovealldisney]

Hi Peeps,

[LMO429]

Everything seems to be falling into place, now I'm super excited about getting married and partying with my friends and family on the big day but I'm starting to stress the weather if it rains the day of my wedding alot of things get messed up so send me some pixie dust for sunny skys that day When I booked my reception venue a year and a half ago this upcoming saturday 9/6 was one of the dates offered to me thank god I declined it because the weather here Saturday is suppose to be dreadful high winds and rain from hanna making its way up here.

[LMO429]

Aarom: For the nexts challenge put me down for 3.5 pounds...realistically I would love to weigh 125 on the wedding day and then STAY at that weight until way after my honeymoon...

 

[UtahMama]

Officially, I've lost 5lbs since Monday, but I know that it's all water weight. It has to be! So I will be starting the challenge at 150, instead of 155.

I put you down for -5. Don't mind if it's water weight or a major hair cut LOL!

Hi Peeps,

Well I am a SAMER again this week. That's ok because Aunt Plo is in the house and I thought for sure I had gained!! Good luck everyone and eat healthy this weekend!!!

Aunt Flo is the worst!
This week is YOUR week, Peep-sister-friend!!!!

A properly fitted gown for your skinnier self!
You can do it!!!! 125 is a nice weight





My official weigh in this morning (nudie-patootie, after potty and before drinking or eating ) was -1!!!

YAY ME!

That was one EARNED pound, I tell you what!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

It is weeks like this that leave me baffled. The previous two weeks, I didn't cheat at all and I exercised daily, and I had a samer and a gain of 1.2. So last weekend to celebrate our 3-year anniversary (and the completion of our landscaping project), we went out to dinner where I ate onion rings, Weiner schnitzel, German potato salad, and polished it off with a DQ Blizzard. Saturday was a repeat of that, leftovers from the previous night's dinner and another DQ Blizzard because Friday night's wasn't all that good (but of course I still ate it). Then Sunday we went to Costco and grazed for a good hour on all of their free samples. And then I came home and had some rotisserie chicken and I sneaked some of the yummy skin. And yet, somehow, I managed to lose 3.2 pounds!?!?! How does that happen??? 99 times out of 100, that will give me a 2-3 pound gain. Just when I think I have this whole thing figured out...

Anyway, this loss puts me at my all time low weight of 157.8 pounds. That represents a grand total of 58.2 pounds lost since joining the Peeps in 2007; and an uber-grand total of 82.2 pounds lost since early 2005. That equals a 34.25% loss in body weight, and my BMI is now an even 24 (down from my highest of 36.5). I've decided to set my Halloween goal at 150, so 7.8 pounds from my current weight (or 11 pounds from last week's weight). And I am now 12.8 pounds from my goal weight of 145.

Good luck everybody!
