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

[Pakey]

Morning all.

Wendy, we didn't do Arby's but we went to Panera and then stopped at the new sweet shop next door. Who ever thought that tv would HELP with a diet but without it, we were just out trolling for food.

Elmo, the advertisement for your new workout dvd wore me out so I know I could never do that much exercise. I'm sure I'm over twice your age but even so, I couldn't do HALF of that much. I can't wait to hear how you like it.

Laura, the wedding treats sound wonderful. Were the chocolate fountains big enough to step into to? Cuz that's what I would have been trying.

Kelly, forgot to mention that I love your new tag. We got ours on the same day.

Pooh's HP, my vacation clothes are too tight also. Not sure I'm going to make it in 5 weeks. And I'm definitely not swimming on Castaway Cay; no bathing suit for this peep.

Kat, we'll see you back after you finish the Twilight series. I have not seen the movie yet because (sorry Wendy), they picked the wrong actor for Edward. The last time there was a travesty this large it was when Clark Gable played Rhett Butler. And I have not recovered from that one yet either.

OK, please stop my panic . . . can't remember which of you Peeps lives near Las Vegas, but which ever one it is PLEASE tell me you haven't had snow this week?!?!?! My friend is sure she saw it on the news - now I have no idea what clothes to pack for my vacation! I was going for tee-shirts until I heard this!!!! I am very distressed!!

You are not going to want t-shirts. Las Vegas is not warm in the winter. I dont know if it's snowed yet but they are saying we are going to have a chance of it this week. Yesterday pm when we were out, I saw that it was 39 degrees at 2pm. We live 4 few hours west of LV. Bring a good coat.

Hi there. It's snowing right now. My lawn, trees, car, etc are covered. However, I do not live on the Strip. I was down on the Strip this morning and it was barely raining. Not sure what it's doing down there now. (It's almost 2 now)

I live about 20-25 minutes from the Strip, up near the Red Rock casino, (you can Google that and then see how far it is from the Strip). Our high for the day was only supposed to be in the low 40's. And it will be similiar for the rest of the week. You won't have snow, it will be too warm for that, but it will be COLD. Down in the 30's at night.

It's warm inside but walking from hotel to hotel, or even from car to hotel, is when you'll feel it. Bring a coat for sure. And pants. Really your best bet is layers since you will want to peel it all off once you are indoors.

Oh god!!! We thought we were headed for some heat!!!! I knew we should have gone to New York instead - at least we expected that to be cold!!!! I need to go shoping for some hats and scarves!!!!!!

Thanks for the quick answer!

We use ear muffs. Keeps the ears warm without messing up the hair. Especially if you are going to dinner or a show and still want to stay all "purty".

Its gonna be too cold for a sundae in Ghirerdelli's as well, isnt it?!?! (priorities!!!)

Of course not!! Ghirardelli's is indoors. Besides, it's HOT fudge. If anything you'll need one to warm you up.

I like your thinking!! So you are telling me, in order to keep out frost bite, it is ESSENTIAL I go there????!

A definite must. In fact, if this weather pattern keeps up, you might need to go more then once. Don't want you to catch a chill.


In all seriousness, don't panic over the weather. Trust me, you will still have a great time! Make sure you check out the Bellagio conservatory. It's decorated so pretty right now! Here is a link to some pics I took if you want a sneak peek: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=29151510&postcount=479
(If you'd rather wait and be surprised, that's ok too, but do check it out. You'll be glad you did.)

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Wow! Those look great! Are all the hotels decorated for Christmas? At least it will feel more like home if its a bit chilly on Christmas day!!

Well, the Bellagio does the most. All the hotels will have some sort of holiday decoration up, but not as much as you'd think. I was surprised and slightly disappointed by that last year.
My theory is they don't really want to remind you that it's almost Christmas and you should be out buying presents instead of losing all your money at their gaming tables.

Will you have a car? If so, also consider taking a drive out to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory one night. (or maybe take a taxi depending on cost) They have a 3 or 4 acre cactus garden that is all decorated for the holidays. It's spectacular. And on select nights they have Santa, carolers, and they give out samples.

Here are two pics from last year:

Also, if you've ever been to Earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney, they have one in Planet Hollywood as well. It's one of our favorites.

OK, I'll hush up about Vegas now. LOL But if you have any questions feel free to ask or PM me if you want.

just a quick drop in....

mom doing better. she is still very sick but she is slowly improving. they removed the breathing tube yesterday and she now has oxygen by face mask. she did have a heart attack. mostly she is very weak. but she is still scrappy.... under the influence of her narcotics this morning she told me that if she wasnt so weak she would get up and run out of that place..... i know its not funny but it was because i could see a glimmer of the fight in my mom.

thanks for all your thoughts and prayers

Hey there peeps...I have been internet-less for over a week. I am dying trying to catch up on everything. I did weigh last week, better late than never I guess. I am down 1.2

Off to read back a few pages and try to catch up!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Kelly, forgot to mention that I love your new tag. We got ours on the same day.

Thanks Pakey - Your new tag just cracks me up! I love my new tag. I do NOT love Rutger Hauer. Im 27 now and he STILL scares me!

Ahhhh, sorry!!!! Married-for-a-while Peeps need a little Arby's now and again. Not just on birthdays. Add some Horsey sauce for kicks. I don't know what I just said, but it sounded naughty, so I like-y.

"ELMO"!!!!! purrrrrfect! (poor Lauren! )

 

[Pakey]

Morning all. I thought I'd stop in for a quick hello before heading out to shop for our Christmas party raffle prizes. We do a party to show appreciation for all of our production employees and the president has us get about $5000 in raffle prizes. It's actually hard to spend that much on small gifts. I took the HR Manager on Friday for several hours and we only managed to spend $2000.

Kelly, I loved Rutger Hauer in LadyHawke, probably filmed when you were an infant. After that, I've got nothing. You'll have to tell me what it is that scared you though; my interest is piqued.

Wendy, I am not telling my husband about the Horsey sauce. I do not want to give him any ideas. I'm hoping our new satellite receiver arrives today. Fringe is on tonight, life would be forever altered if we missed it, lol.

Sparkie, I'm so glad to hear that your mom is doing much better. The mom of my youngest son's best friend died yesterday from her bout with breast cancer. We were diagnosed around the same time but she was not as fortunate as me. I just can't help thinking about her 4 children and the holiday season they are going to have.
