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

I can't see the pictures. It says page not found


Well moew news on my mom - she's going to start chemo and radiation first to shrink the tumor and then surgery. She goes to the oncologist tomorrow and then her surgeon on Monday. It almost feels like it's not real, does that make any sense. I have a hard time saying my mom has cancer. She lost almost 15 lb in a couple of months (she's really thin to begin with) and she's gained 2 lb back Thank you everyone for your prayers and kind words, it helps me a lot that my "friends" are there for me when I need them to talk to.

Wendy how was your first day of school?

Try this one: http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm130/katcanes77/snow/

For whatever reason, long links never come through when quoted? Must be a DIS thing.


So sorry about your mom. Glad that she has gained some weight back, and I will keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey guys, quick flyby. We are in the midst of thousands of w-2's here at work and I have to start thinking about getting ready for our WDW vacation in 2 days. Nope, I'm not a pre-packer. We did get suitcases out of storage but that's as far as we have gotten. Tonight I have to cook and package dogfood for my babies. I freeze the packets for the dog sitter. This will take hours as my two dogs eat two different types of homemade food. Heck, when kids were growing up, they were lucky to get cheerios and milk at same meal but I cook cuisine for the dogs.

Aaron, glad you are sticking with it again. We need you here to inspire us. I still blame you for my eating of Halloween candy this year because you weren't around stating you were resisting the big bowl at work.

Wendy and Monica, hope this first week is going great. Way to go students.

Kat, where are you staying? We are at Beach Club. Would love to at least say hi in person. Let's hope it warms up before we get there. I'm ignoring Laura's post about how cold it is there right now.

Laura, I don't know that it ever sinks in with cancer. Good luck to your mom. I thought radiation was a breeze compared to chemo. I battled terrible depression through chemo, it's hard to feel so bad, have all food taste terrible and lose hair at same time. Do whatever you have to do to make her eat. What I could handle changed every day so I felt bad for the made ahead dinners that I could not do but my husband appreciated the food donations as it made his workload lighter. Hopefully the oncologist will give her a list of food that usually fare better on chemo. If not, let me know and I'll drag out my list.

I'm still being good except for the exercise. Medical issues are keeping me from getting it done and I hate that. I go for more tests this afternoon so I hope to be back on track soon. If nothing else, I'll be walking alot next week while at the World chasing after my 3 year old grandson on his first mouse meet!

We are at SSR. I am going to try and come up with a touring plan today, if possible. I will PM you my contact info and I will also have internet access.

you probably already know this but we stayed at congress park in april/may and it was AWESOME - less than a 10-minute walk to DTD marketplace. it was really nice to be able to go over there whenever we wanted without having to wait on a bus to DTD - those are always the longest waits! we were in the building closest to DTD but farthest away from the main pool/front desk area but it only took me 10 minutes to walk over there too. i loved it!

 

[Pakey]

We have stayed at SSR 5 times and it's a very nice resort. My husband likes it better than BC and I prefer BC so that's why we own at both. We have enjoyed every section that we have stayed in and can't honestly say we have a favorite.

Kat, please pm me with info and then if I can catch a break from the 3 year old (oh I think I'm going to need it), I'll get in touch with you and see if we can meet up somewhere (like a Lounge with Alcohol is sounding pretty good about now )

 

[UtahMama]

you people talking about -23 and -48 are killing me!!!! it's 30 degrees here and i'm about to freeze my tooshie off. i don't know how you guys do it!

Well? That's one way to get rid of it! (snort!)

Do you ever workout with weights? I am convinced working out with weights is the answer

I'm totally convinced it is, without a doubt, THE answer (or a huge part of the answer!)
Remember: Muscle burns fat (repeat 10 million times)

Well, I have my days mixed up big time. So I forgot to get on the scale yesterday. Today it told me I was -6 for the week. God help me when my appetite returns.

OMGosh, sign me up for girlie-surgery! That's 28 pounds in 2 weeks, rockstar!!!!

This morning, I'm wearing a size 8 to work so I've lost enough to get back into my regular work clothes, they are snug, but I'll take it.

It only matters that they were technically ON. (We won't mention the camel-toe or muffin top) I'm SURE you look fabulous!!!!!

Think of Wendy on her first day of school!

Happy first day of school Wendy!!!

Wendy this is your first day of school????? Hope all goes well!!

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WENDY!!

Good luck Wendy!!!!

Good Luck Utah Mama! xoxoxo

Happy first day of school Wendy!!!

Good Luck today Wendy!

Wendy happy 1st day of school!

Hope your first day was awesome,Wendy

YOU GUYS MADE ME cry!!!!

What a close family we've become! I love yous!

My first day ROCKED. I'm in PSY101 (that's psycology , jk!) and so far my homework is a glorified book report on Eat, Pray, Love, a "Dream Board" with pics of goals, and such, collaged onto it. And a "Mission Statement"! Other than being a huge time spender, this first class should be easy-ish. I'm in this class with my 19 year old son, Jordan...so it's "interesting". I did sort of announce that he is my SON so no one thinks I'm some creepy-cougar lady.

Hey y'all! Hope everyone is doing well. I've had a pretty good week with my diet and exercise so far. I've been really strict with myself about not cheating (not counting Fridays which are my splurge days); and I've been pretty consistent with exercise: Saturday-Monday-Wednesday on the Bowflex, Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday some sort of cardio (last night was Tae-Bo). So we'll see what the scale tells me on Friday. My super secret pre-weigh in this morning didn't show me a number I wanted to see, but I know it's not for lack of effort. I like to tell myself that as long as I'm putting in the work and making sure I don't sabotage my diet, I won't be overly concerned with the scale. I've come too far to be upset about a pound or two.

I'm NOT looking forward to Biggest Loser next week! Sounds like the two young guys will be below the yellow line. NOT COOL!!!

Here's the update for our St. Valentine's Weight Massacre. Except for the two Peeps who didn't report in with a number, everybody either lost or stayed the same. Great job everybody!!!

Uh. Aaron? I don't remember what my weight was this last Friday! UGHHHH!
Put me down as a samer, because I know I didn't "gain" at all. I think I was waiting (too long?) to post and never did.


Kudos to Michelle O'Bama for rocking those high heels ALL DAY yesterday!
I betcha her smile muscles hurt after all that smiling!

Norah wants an orange and pink outfit like Little O'Bama wore. CUTE, huh?

I have stayed there twice now, once at the Springs and once at Congress Park. Both had their charm, our room at the Springs was literally across from the pool (and steps away from the bus stop), Congress Park had a killer DTD view.

I am going to call MS one last time tomorrow to see if they have any cancellations at other resorts, though. I like SSR okay but would prefer an Epcot resort. We eat in Epcot a lot and it just makes it so much more convenient to be able to walk "home" at night.

So glad that you are enjoying it!! That is funny that you and your son are in the same class. How does he feel about it?

Just peeping in.....

Scales are looking good.

DD is getting really close. Her blood pressure is still mildly up and she had protein in her urine this visit. This is significant because it really defines the diagnosis of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension- the protein means things are getting worse. Nothing too serious yet but it bears watching. She goes for another non-stress test in the morning. Baby has looked good thus far. Just making sure with some careful monitoring.

So any day now... I guess I'll have to claim.... GRANDMOTHERHOOD-

 

[pixie dust 112]

Every time I read about SSR I crack up because I used to live and work in the real Saratoga Springs, New York so when I read Congress Park, I think of the actual park (which is beautiful), but everytime we go by SSR, my DH and I always comment that it is nothing like the real Saratoga Springs.

wendy, i saw that everyone was wishing you luck but i guess i missed that you're going back to school. congrats! that's so awesome! i'm very proud of you. you are a rock star!!!

Kudos to Michelle O'Bama for rocking those high heels ALL DAY yesterday!

seriously! i bet she wore heels at her job at the hospital (i think she ran a hospital before, right?) but i bet she wasn't on her feet so much like she was yesterday. i'm sure she was sore!

I'm so glad our grandson calls us Mo-Mo and Fay-Fay. I don't think I can handle GRANDMA.

I feel the same way about the Poly. We have vacationed 3 times in Hawaii and the Poly just seems so fake to me.

Kat, good luck on a change. We spend most time at Epcot too and it's so much nicer to walk back after dinner (need to burn calories anyway).

Wendy, in class with your son. OMG, I would have hated that competition. I'm still not over getting one B in college and that was xxx years ago. (and I still remember the professor who gave me that B, Dr. Stone, grrrrr)

 

[monymony3471]

Pink eye has invaded my home. Baby has it and was a monster last night.

Now I have to figure how to get her to the dr.

DH is out of town, well he comes home later today. I had not scheduled anyone to work the day care with me today, so sigh, always in a bind.

I hate to call my mom like that last minute. But I'll have to.

And figures this happens right before I leave for my weekend, cause I ALWAYS get it too.

Happy Thursday everyone.

I so agree with that statement but think about it - when the kids were little it's always "mommy this, mommy that" sometimes I can't hear myself think when I'm getting food for them because of all the yelling so I totally understand how you would forget to put the milk with the cereal

Let's hope it warms up before we get there. I'm ignoring Laura's post about how cold it is there right now.

And I feel the same. I look to you guys for support more than I do my friends that I can actually touch.

Glad your first day was great.

I've seen your sewing you can totally make that outfit for her

Awww Monica so sorry to hear that the baby has pink eye. Won't the pedi give you something over the phone? Mine does for pink eye, sometimes, I would try.

I think I missed where you were going this weekend? Wash your hands that's all I can say, WASH WASH AND WASH and then bring some of the medicine with you. They never use all of it anyway, not drops.

Well folks don't know if you need to know this but it's GYN appt today. I faithfully go every year because we have family history of uterine cancer in the family. I also found a small lump, hard about the size of a pea underneath my arm, in my arm pit and it's been there for almost 3 weeks. So wish me luck. Although I don't mind going there because me and my midwife talk about Disney the whole visit, she's a nut just like us Her SIL works in Epcot as a nurse in the medical center for visitors so she goes quite often.

 

[LMO429]

Hi Peeps

I am so behind on this thread...I started school this week I have some challenging classes this semester because last semester I took a couple of easy classes because I had my wedding and honeymoon so now I am in for it.

I have been doing good with the working out and eating but I weighed myself and it says I was up today (going to wait tomorrow to make it official) I have no idea why granted I did eat bad sunday but I went right back on track..the only other thing I can think of is I am gaining muscle I obviously have to start being more strict.

I watched the biggest loser yesterday I thought the whole part when Bob was training the 2 girls in Detroit and when they were yellign at each other very staged!

Sending you PD for your appt! And funny you say you talk Disney the whole time you are there. The last time I went for the annual, my doc questioned me on Disney the whole time because she had a conference coming up and wanted to make it a family trip as well. It was too funny!

 

[punkin413]

attention aaron: i'm weighing in early. ray and i are staying in a hotel in downtown atlanta tonight and tomorrow night. his company is doing a stock market seminar and he has to be there in case they have computer issues. so i'm going to keep him company. therefore i won't have a scale to weigh on tomorrow.

i'm -1 pound today!

that stinks! i had pink eye for the first time in my life about 3 years ago. it came right after i was VERY sick with the flu. i went to the doctor and the only thing she would give me is artificial tears (not visine eye drops, but just artificial tears) and she said to keep it in the fridge and put the drops in my eye every few hours just to relieve the itching and irritation. she said there was nothing else to do but to let it run its course and it would go away in a couple of days. now that may be different for kids - i'm not sure. anyway, i just wanted to let you know about the artificial tears thing in case you wanted to relieve the irritation in the meantime. it defintely helped me!

good luck at the gyno! those are the worst even without having found something beforehand. i also go every year just because i'm on birth control pills. i will be thinking about you.

 

[Pakey]

Monica, so sorry to hear about the pink eye invasion. I'm sending you serious pixie dust that you do not get it.

Dawn, way to go on the -1 loss. Have a great time with your Atlanta weekend getaway.

Laura, good luck with the gyno appt. Just remember that most of those lumps are nothing. I'm glad you are getting it checked out though, better safe than sorry. I ignored mine and well, look what that got me.

Lauren, I'm sure the weight gain today will be gone tomorrow. Sometimes it happens that way. And why is it that we have to obsessively weigh ourselves. I've honestly thought about just carrying the scale around with me so that I would have to go to it a dozen times a day.

Have a great day all. It's raining here. And rain here means fog after. So now I can worry that our flights will not be able to take off early Saturday morning.

 

[monymony3471]

So, the baby has an ear infection and that's how she acquired the pink eye. Poor thing has to play in the crib. she's not happy about that.

She's on an anti-biotic and eye drop.

I do wash my hands to the point of OCD. So far so good.

FOUND the pony. Someone shoved it in a tinee tiny pocket of the baby's diaper bag!!!!! So, now we can mail it in to locks of love!
