HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TWINKIE!

ditto from me!!!!! have a great, MAGICAL day!

and hi, melinda! we miss you!

People ask me all the time how I could chat with people that I have never met with and have never seen or heard. I have responded in the past that it is our love for Disney that has made us friends. I now look back over the past year and see that it is much more than that. Yes, we all came here for one reason or another and it revolved around Disney, but out of that I think real friendships have evolved. I just want to say thank you so much for the kind words and pm's that you guys have sent over the last few weeks. They mean more to me than you will ever know.

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

i have to share this with you guys. this morning i slept in late (for the first time in a LONG time) and when i got up i was craving a pop tart. i don't usually eat those for breakfast - i always have a bowl of oatmeal or a fiber one bar. but this evil urge just kept screaming POP TART to me. so i popped one in the toaster and when it popped up after cooking, i reached for it and some of the gew inside got on my right pinky. LET ME TELL YOU.......IT BURNED!!!!!!!! i've had ice on it ever since and i see a blister coming up. so now when i type it kills me to hit P, ;, ', ? and the enter button. thank goodness those aren't popular keys, except for the enter button of course. and i have SO MUCH typing to do this weekend. i'm gonna be in pain all weekend! just goes to show you.......THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR EATING A POP TART!!!!!!!!!

ambesol should work.... (not sure if i spelled that right)... but the stuff you use for tooth pain... put it on the blister tomorrow and it should numb the heck out of it.

Never "feed the beast" poor Punkin Pinkie! Burned by Pop Tart Goo!!
Ok, I DID get those weights....when I was in my very tired stupor last night, I started listing the "slackers" love: ) and got carried away going down my list.

We're off to watch Horton Hears A WHo. YES, I'm getting popcorn this time too!!!! Sitting in the movie with baby carrots is STUPID and WRONG!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TWINKIE!

Happy Birthday Twinks fellow sleepover survivor!

Punkin - are you taking cover? There are storms headed your way. My parents fared well last night. Take care my friend.

UMWendy - I'm starting anew this week. I documented my weight yesterday, and will report hereafter. I weighed out for the Scale Back Alabama yesterday, and I had gained a pound. I wasn't a good team member. Although, I know I am healthier because my BP has dropped 10 points, and I can feel the muscles in my legs when I walk.

Sorry I haven't been around, but both kids had projects due on Friday, and they both needed the one computer. All got turned in, and we are now on Spring Break!

The DIS would never load for me last night, and has been having trouble. I'm going to my parents next week, so I'll try to check in while I am there. Has anyone heard from Sandy? I have sent her another email, and haven't gotten a response. I may have to call her.

I want to see that..i am a huge Suess fan..let us know how it was.
AND YES..baby carrots at the movies is NOT FIERCE! ( sorry..i am quite enamored with Christian Siriano from Project Runway this week...)

Tonight will not be Peepish for me..we are going to Greg's parents for dinner, probably steak on teh grill and some delicious dessert..ah well..AF is here anyhoo..nice logic right? My goal for this week is to go to curves at least 3 times and work out a total of 5 ( dvds or whatnot for the other 2 days)...now that i don't have to run to class after work on mon and wed. i won't be pressed or time..yay! The numbers MIGHT start going down in a consistent manner...
have a great day all y'all..and in the words of Tim Gunn..." Make it work people"...sorry..had too.

I am feeling rejuvinated and remotivated. I finally saw the scale go below 170s. I posted my weight that am now as 169.5, that was my weight after rithing in bed all night from the stomach bug and eating 1/2 a waffle but after my second nap I weighed again- ( i know i should not obsess with the scale- bad habit) but that weight was 168.2. I'm sticking with the 169.5 as my official weight for the week but I felt encouraged to try harder. I really might go to the gym this week and try the all water thing. I have not changed alot of my types of foods but just watching portion sizes- my major change is not eating a "meal" when I am working in the dark. I will have a cup of soup, or a packet of oatmeal, a small lean cuisine(4 points or less), or a yogurt. In my mind I say I'm having a snack and not a "lunch". But I'm really feeling motivated. I got my 32 oz water beside me as I type So hoping for good numbers next week.

How did you do on your Scale Back Alabama challenge? As I reported earlier, I gained a pound. How's your weather down there? It's getting ugly again up here. My parents live in Atlanta, but have not had any damage. Stay safe.

Punkin - are you taking cover? There are storms headed your way. My parents fared well last night. Take care my friend.

yes, we've been taking cover all day! about 10 minutes after i posted about my pop tart story, the sirens started going off. we grabbed the dogs, got in the car and drove 4 blocks to anna's house (she has a basement). we hung out there until about 15 minutes ago. we've only had 1 storm come directly over us. we had baseball-sized hail from that one. unfortunately i didn't have my camera but i took some pics of the hail that had not melted when i got home a few minutes ago and i'll post them later. there's still some storms coming through but i think the worst is over.

did you guys see the georgia dome footage at the SEC basketball tournament last night? the catwalk and scoreboards were shaking and they said there were some bolts falling from the ceiling!

OH no!!..."When Pop tarts go bad..." I hope it was a strawberry one anyway.lol.

nope.....blueberry.

 

[punkin413]

by the way, for some of you peeps that have been around since this time last year, i got a text message from tara (eventer) today. it won't download on my phone so i'm thinking she sent me a picture of the baby!!!! last time i talked to her (about a week ago) she hadn't seen any action yet. i'll let you know when i hear from her!

HOW SCARY!!!...the storms, not the blueberry poptart...
i hope everything starts to calm down soon for all of you down there! its just sprinkling and cold up here today, i'll take it!

allie Lost 6 on scale back. So didnt meet my goal but did lose some. 2 girls out of our 2 teams on our unit did lose 10# so yea for them. Storms werent too bad here, some hail last night but I was at the hospital working and couldnt hear a thing, just a flicker of the lights now and then. I've been working alot. The baby business is booming again and I am able to get extra shifts with time and half pay and shift bonus so HELLO MICKEY MONEY!!! I'm glad the baby business is picking up- I had gotten desperate and went to a regular medical floor to pick up extra work- lets just say- I can do it - but I dont like it. I do hope when I am old (one day) that there will be a kind and caring nurse who wont mind feeding and changing me if that be the case- we all have our calling I suppose.

Your body seems to be stuck Or your scale is stuck? j/k

Please do call her. I don't have long distance or a cell phone. I'm so worried about her! Ask her if we offended her or something But most important, tell her we love her and miss her!

Allie! I'm so glad you're back!

The DIS was wonky for me lst night too, so I gave up and watched tv.

YAY! The stumach flu diet! (JUST kidding, I hate to throw up or have it, er, explode out the other end ) Feel better!

Drink some water for me. I've only drank about 32 oz. all day.



"Horton Hears a Who" is really cute! A little different than the book, but good.
But the popcorn was scrumptous!

 

[punkin413]

here's the pics of the hail i got. these were taken about an hour after they came down, so they had melted down a good bit. when they first landed they were like triple that size (like a baseball) but i was at anna's house and didn't have my camera. unbelievably, ray's car didn't get any damage. mine was in the garage.

oh, and this is completely off topic, but i just got a new CD and i wanted to share how good this chic is......SARA BAREILLES. go check her out!!!!! she has an amazing voice and the music is great!

I always wonder when folks disappear if it's a weight thing. My weight loss on here has been so abysmal (my fault entirely), I sometimes think of dropping out. But what Heather said is true.I do feel like these are real friends here. When someone succeeds, I am thrilled for them. And when we lapse, I don't judge. We all come from different starting points in life, with different experiences, strengths, weaknesses, etc, so I figure each of us will have his or her time to shine.
A version of the following was passed out at my prayer meeting last week. If you are not Christian, it still has a lot to say, but it is written from a Christian perspective. It gives you a good idea why each of us is a necessary part of this group. If you ever feel pointless or neglected or unappreciated, read this and think of yourself as well as your neighbor.

LOOK AROUND YOU by Henry L. Meyers.
Who is the person sitting next to you?

The person next to you is the greatest miracle and the greatest mystery you will ever meet at this moment, a testament of the Word made flesh, of God's coming continually into the world.

The person next to you is an inexhaustible reservoir of possibility with potentialities that have been only partially touched off.

The person next to you is a unique universe of experience, with necessity and possibility, dread and desire, smiles and frowns, laughter and tears, fears and hopes, all struggling for expression.

The person next to you is surging to become something in particular, stands for something, counts for something, lives for something, labors for something, waits for something, runs from something, runs towards something.

The person next to you has problems and fears, wonders how she/he is doing and often doesn't feel very good about it, is often undecided and disorganized and painfully close to chaos, but she/he is endowed with a great toughness in the face of adversity, able to survive the most unbelievable difficulties and persecutions.

The person next to you is a whole colony of persons, persons met all during his/her lifetime really a community, in which still lives a father and a mother, a friend and an enemy.

The person next to you has some things he/she can do well, and some things he/she can do better than anyone else in the world; there is something he/she one life on earth means and cares for; but does he/she dare speak of it to you?
