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

[LMO429]

Happy Monday Peeps!

I have been MIA, between being sick and having alot of school work to do I have to catch up on the thread and get my good habits back!

I can not believe this week is Thanksgiving already and it's a month till Christmas, before you know it summer will be here the time is just flying by!

Anyone else dream of Edward Cullen this weekend I reading New Moon right now trying to read it slow so it lasts longer but I'm dying to know what's next!

What does any peeps suggest to read about the twilight series is over? any other collection of books just as good as twilight

ok I'll admit it now "im hooked!"

 

[MA pigletfan]

Good morning Peep Nation

Yes Lauren i am also totally hooked! I just finished New Moon last night after completely zipping through it since Friday...My friend is bringing over Eclipse tonight..

 

[DisneyLaura]

I'll be making sugar-free cranberry sauce, and vegan pumpkin custard (for DS, but it really tastes pretty good, is low in calories and a lot healthier than pie).

I would love to know how you make the pumpkin custard

Short rant...... WDW hasn't posted their hours for May '09 yet........ They usually release them 6 mos out because of ADRs but the ADR system is still screwed up and when DH called CRO today they said it would be unlikely that hours will be posted before Dec 1st and they are changing several things for a NEW EVENT, details coming around the first of the year. Ok, I'm kind of excited to hear about anything new at WDW but it's getting in the way of being able to plan my meals. My family needs to eat and all the god ADRs will be gone by the time I get to make any calls..........

I hope things get fixed so you can get your ADR's

I actually saw it yesterday

Okay, I have a gym dilemna, which I posted elsewhere but could use a few more opinions. This is long so feel free to skip.

Any advice?

I say look at all of them and then decide

And I won't be around next week to post in because I'll be in Las Vegas hanging with my best friend. And we will not be eating in a Peepish manner, I can tell you that.

Have fun

So that was out. I am playing two shows this weekend, and I get a lot of exercise that way. Accordions are heavy! Also the shows are not at bars, so I won't be tempted to drink beer!

You play the accordian? My FIL did when he was younger. That's so cool

Next week I hope to see a prettier number on the scale, but it is going to be a challenge. Sunday is DD's birthday party...my baby girl is turning SIX! I am making the cake (and I cant wait to try some new recipes with the frosting so you know what that means! I have to try it!) And I am making cookies and chocolate suckers for favors...so there may be a few licks of the bowl there. And then there is Thanksgiving. Maybe all the shopping I have planned for Black Friday will work off some calories?!

Make sure you take pictures of everything

Just got home went to see Twilight IT ROCKED!!!!

I thought the "spidermonkey" quote was cheesy and so was the casting of Mr. Cullen and how they showed edward running fast...other than that I loved it! It was a great flick!~!!!!!!!

I agree with the spidermonkey too but on the other hand I thought Mr Cullen was just like I imagined. I agree with UM on Jasper and Jake's hair

Loved the bedroom KISS how Edward kept saying "Don't move" It was better than I thought it was but still liked the book better (of course). I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars or snaps or whatever.

I loved that scene too (the book is always better)

disneylaura (did I just not write yours down again? I thought I saw a post by you. I'll double check)

Put me on the naughty list. I did not weigh until today (my post is at the bottom) Please forgive me

Anyone else dream of Edward Cullen this weekend I reading New Moon right now trying to read it slow so it lasts longer but I'm dying to know what's next!

Lauren I read all three books in the matter of two months and then had to wait forever for the last one. I am rereading the series over, just started Twilight again last night.



Ok I'm -1.9 I have a head cold so nothing is tasty to me which is good because of Thanksgiving coming up. I did go see Twilight yesterday afternoon. I went with my DS9 mom and her DD and her 4 friends. They are in 7th grade so that probably makes them 12 or so. I loved it as well but I noticed some things were changed from the book. I loved Alice she was just as I imagined. I think all the characters besides Jasper and Esme (I thought she would be a lot taller for some reason) were right on target. Jacob's hair bothered me too, Billy I thought was great too. I hope they come out with another. I went right home and got out my Twilight again so I can reread the series again.

My little girl turned 3 on Saturday, we are having her party this sat because our whole house has head colds and I had a terrible sinus headache and still do so hopefully (crossing my fingers) it doesn't turn into a sinus infection which usually happens to me this time of year. Talk to everyone later.

DRINK YOUR WATER just pretend that's water

 

[missnarwhale]

snowwhite: I spoke with the boyfriend and he said that it may have something to do with the connect from the wii to the television. Maybe if you took them out and cleaned them? Or got new connections. It's weird that it's only for that one game though?

disneylaura: I try to play accordion! I'm horrible! I really only use the piano side. There are so many buttons and they are so little! Do you know what kind of music your FIL played?

All this talk of twilight! I feel like I'm missing out! Would they be good books to read over Christmas break? I generally re-read Harry Potter over break because it's Christmas-y to me.

I was so tired this morning that I skipped my first two classes! The shows this weekend totally tired me out. When I finally woke up we were having a complete snow storm! Now I really don't want to leave the house. I want to stay home and clean instead.

I was talking to my mom about getting some workout tapes for me for my apartment. Then I wouldn't have to rely on weather or motivation to leave the house to exercise. So, she gave me an old Richard Simmons Sweatin to the Oldies tape to try. I remember this tape from when I was really little because I love love loved the music. So, last Friday, I pop in the tape. I'm dancing around and singing and actually having a great time. That's when I realize that my boyfriend had come home from work and had been watching me for who knows how long! I didn't think I could be embarrassed in front of him anymore, but holy moly, was I wrong. I thought that he was off work at 5, but actually he was off at 4! He said he could hear the tape from the hallway! Now my neighbors know that I'm Sweatin to the Oldies with Richard Simmons.

Anyway! Hope everyone had a good weekend!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hey peeps

Well Im officially jealous of everyone who went to see Twilight - 19th of December is too long to wait people!

Could I ask a favour from you peeps - can you send me as much pixie dust, as many prayers or as many good thoughts as you can - I dont normally ask for these things, but my baby niece is in the hospital
She went in last night, she hasn't been keeping her food down and last night she became unresponsive but shes 'ok' now - they think she has some kind of stomach bug or virus, maybe gastroentrinits (sp?) but she is just so little - just under 3 months old
Hopefully she will be coming home tomorrow, but until then my brother, his girlfriend and my niece could do with all the good thoughts you can spare.

Thanks peeps

I know!!! I am SO grumpy waiting for the hours to be posted - I am a girl who needs to plan and this slowness is killing me!! I emailed then on November 2nd, and they told me it would be a "few" days - they need a new dictionary!!!!

Just got home from work and our heating is broken . . . a week to be fixed!! Which is nice news when there is snow on the ground outside! On the plus side at least it means I will be doing a lot of exercise to keep warm!!!!

Pixie Dust to Disneygal UK . . . poor little girl

I would definately read the Twilight series over break. I'm not sure what type of music he played. He was from Latvia so maybe some of their type of music. He passed away othewise I would ask.

Hey peeps

I want to go see it again, maybe I can talk DH into going friday night. the kids are sleeping over my brother's house so we can have a date.

So now you're hooked? I'm glad you're enjoying it. It seems I am responsible for spreading the Twilight fever throughout my office. It seems I've gotten 5-6 of my coworkers and 2 of my friends reading it so far.

Your question is a tough one because if you love the books anywhere near as much as I do, you'll be hard pressed to find something that doesn't pale in comparison. That being said, here's what I did. I read Midnight Sun (which is Twilight from Edward's point of view and is unfinished, but is posted on Stephenie Meyer's website because it was leaked), reread Twilight, and then I moved on to Pride & Prejudice, which was excellent - not nearly as easy a read as Twilight, but I liked the main character so much, and I enjoyed the story. Then I started the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I have been alternating one Plum book with something else since then. I've read two other Jane Austen books, Kingdom Keepers II, and I'm on book 6 of the Plum series. I have a LONG list of books I want to read right now, many of which are on my Christmas list this year.

I am so sorry you have to wait so long to see Twilight. I know you must be anxious, but it'll be here sooner than you think. I can't wait to hear what you think of it! I loved it! Wouldn't say it was perfect, and of course the book is always better, but overall . I want to see it again NOW.

Much pixie dust headed your way! I hope your little neice is doing better soon!

Anyway! Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I'll have to take a look at it later when I play. Yesterday after I went back to finish playing some of the games I noticed some sound wasn't on the yoga either. I'll look and see if it's back to normal later.

EDIT: I just went and started boxing and now the sound is working. How strange. Maybe I accidently hit a button yesterday.
Oh well. Thanks for asking though!

Sending pixie dust to you and your family!
Poor baby, I hope she's alright.

I loved Twilight book, I thought New Moon was alright and Eclipse was good. I really didn't like Breaking Dawn. I'm still excited to go see the movie though, but I probably won't until it comes out on DVD. All my friends already went and my mom hasn't read the books and isn't into fantasy vampire kind of stuff. Oh well.

I would love to know how you make the pumpkin custard.

Here's a link to the recipe. It's actually a pie, but I'm skipping the crust. Even with the crust, an eighth of the pie is under 100 calories. And I'm planning to replace half the brown sugar with splenda. So it should be pretty light.

He said he could hear the tape from the hallway! Now my neighbors know that I'm Sweatin to the Oldies with Richard Simmons.

Too funny. I bought it on dvd a few months ago, and my kids think it's hysterical when they catch me working out. But since they think I'm a dork no matter what, I've got nothing to lose.

You're still pretty much of a newlywed. I think some snuggling is in order. One of my DH's most endearing qualities is that he doesn't complain when I put my cold feet against him at night.

 

[mousehouselover]

Hi all~

Just a litttle update from my corner of the world........

My scale is lying. It said I gained back evey single oz I lost last week......... Maybe the blind cat batting it around had something to do with it........

There are still no May park hrs. It wouldn't actually do me a ton of good since I can't even make ADRs until the system goes live sometime in Dec, but I would like to have some idea os where we will be so I can plan meals around touring and not tour around our meals.

We haven't been back to the gym since we had our session with the trainer. I know it's very sad........... I am doing the exercises he sent us home with so I'm doing a little more than nothing.

UK Gal~ I hope the baby gets better soon! It's scary when they're so small and so sick.

The weather here is and it's making everyone feel lazy and icky...... I really, really, really miss living in FL.

LOL! Lying scales!!!
I've been known to scream, "LIAR!!!!!" to mine in diva fit. I prefer to say, "Now that's more like it, scale!"

 

[HockeyKat]

Noni, my scale is a mean nasty liar too sometimes.

I did make a decision on a new gym... I went and did a kickboxing class today at lunch at the fly-by-night place, and it was totally awesome! Only 3 people in the class and I love getting my workout done at lunch. Plus you get a locker to keep which will make getting my bag ready in the morning much easier.

And for $149 a year, it is definitely the right price... it is right in my path home from work, 5 min from home, 5 min from work. The equipment is from circa 1993 but they have 2 ellipticals and a bunch of weight machines, plus the classes are ones I am interested in and at times I can make, so what more could I really ask for?

Like my DH said, who cares if the elliptical machine is "cooler" and has more lights on it, if you don't use it....

 

[::Snow_White::]

Hey everyone!
I came to brag a little bit. I got 40 hours in on my Wii Fit today! I now have a gold minute counter! That was another one of my goals by Christmas and I did it!


Plus today was the last day of school until next week.

Hope everyone had a great day.

 

[dance2874]

Hey peeps
Could I ask a favour from you peeps - can you send me as much pixie dust, as many prayers or as many good thoughts as you can - I dont normally ask for these things, but my baby niece is in the hospital

Poor baby! Pixie dust coming your way!

Well, my 'baby' girl is now 6. We did a Hannah Montana Rockstar party here and the kids played Disney Sing it on the PS2. If you havent seen that yet it is super cool. It plays the real videos and the lyrics show up on the screen. There are a ton of artists on there and it comes with a real microphone too. The kids had a blast....and I may have had some fun taking my turn too Here is my big girl:

And the cake I made her:

I made cookies on sticks in star shapes too, but I havent gotten that picture off the camera just yet.

In other news, I officially rejoined weight watchers last night. I need to accountablility and it was just time to bite the bullet and do it. It is gonna be a LONG week being back on the program for real, but I can do it.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hey Peeps

A huge thankyou to you all for you prayers, pixie dust and good thoughts - my baby niece came out of the hospital about an hour ago - she was allowed out because she managed to keep her food down for over an hour. Im not sure of the *exact* name of the condition she has - they did a scan on her, and a small part of her intestine is coming back on itself. This should right itself, but if she cant keep her food down over the next few days then she will have to go to the Childrens Hospital in the city for more tests. For the minute though shes home, happy and keeping her food down so thats all good!


Dance - your daughter is Beautiful, and that cake looks fabulous!

Hope everyone is having a great day

My scale is lying. It said I gained back evey single oz I lost last week......... Maybe the blind cat batting it around had something to do with it........

Our scale has been lying too. It hasn't budged in 2 weeks. I got out the tape measure, and I am getting thinner, so what's the deal with the stinking scale? Oh well, it's just a number, right? Too bad it's not a pretty one!

on the gym. We have some fancy chain gyms around us, but we go to the little gym closest to us. We like their machines, price, and the fact that you can show up grubby and no one cares.

Hey everyone!
I came to brag a little bit. I got 40 hours in on my Wii Fit today! I now have a gold minute counter! That was another one of my goals by Christmas and I did it!

Great job. I did have a blonde moment though. I thought, "How did she fit in 40 hours in one day?" Then I figured it out.

Well, my 'baby' girl is now 6. We did a Hannah Montana Rockstar party here and the kids played Disney Sing it on the PS2. If you havent seen that yet it is super cool.

[missnarwhale]

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

I won't be able to weigh in tomorrow because I'll be up north, so I figured I'd weigh in today instead. Kind of cheating, seeing as how in a few hours I'll be eating everything set down in front of me.

Nevertheless, right now, I am down 2 from last week.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Be good!
