DISappearing PEEPS Volume 2

[pigget74]

I just want to check in to say 'hi.' I'm having a very very bad day and I am going to try really hard to stay strong. We had to put one of our kitties to rest this morning. She darted through the living room past one of our dogs who isn't known for playing well with cats. She came out of nowhere and the dog grabbed her across the back. We were never able to figure out exactly where she was injured but they couldn't keep air from leaking and collecting under her skin. She couldn't breathe and I know she had to be in pain. So we did the only thing we could do.

I'm not usually an emotional eater but when I'm feeling better, I have been known to totally pig out. Dh wants some sort of comfort food right now, we usually have Chinese or homestyle (like Cracker Barrel.) I haven't eaten all day since this happened before breakfast.

I think I should go now, I'm going to wind up rambling if I don't.

I am so sorry about your kitty. I know that was a tough thing to go through.


FRAN--- sorry about your DH's job. Hopefully he will able to find something quick.

 

[monymony3471]

Bee thanks for checking in!

Noni: So sorry about the kitty.

Fran: Hang in there. I hope your hubby finds something quick.

Dance: 34 weeks and that's all!!!! You look great!

Heather: The baby is getting so big. I may have to post a pic too, but later. Josh is so sweet getting some cheese time!

Wendy: I finished the books! My favorite chapter of all time was when Edward and Jacob were in the tent talking back and forth while Bell was sleeping. I was just cracking up! I may have to go back and read that chapter again.

Lynda: Last year at one of my first preg/ob apt.s the assistant to the dr.s who does the initial work up was going to disney. We chatted like crazy. She got my email address and asked me so many more questions. I was so happy to help. I actually felt important.

Harley: Nice workout. I haven't stepped foot on my treadmill in about 2 weeks. Gasp! I know!

Dawn: You are too sweet. Don't let that bother you. I'm sure if they had a bad time, they are kicking themselves in the booty for not asking you for any advice.

dlwheat: You got me hooked on thrifting. Each day the place by us have a special. Today was yellow tag: 5items for 5.00. Sometimes, all reds, 1.00 per item. I got some nice new clothes with tags for 1.00 each.

Hi Melinda! Hi Allie! Where's Sandy? Hi pixie! Where's aries?
Misty are you feeling better?


Ok, I mentioned in my journal that my "grandmother" passed away. She was 94.

I never had a real grandmother to share my life with. The only one I did have passed when I was 3 months.

My cousins grandmother took me and my sister on as her grandchildren too. Grandma Rose was the best. She would chase us kids around the house with a wooden spoon yelling at us in Serbian. It was great. We learned some swear words in Serbian and it would get her so mad. She called me Monie.

My favorite memory was when I was about 7 or 8, my mom worked at her bar and when she showed up for work, I would come along and Grandma would take me home to her house. She had this huge cadillac and didn't know where the horn was. I showed her and she laughed and beeped the horn all the way home.

A few christmas's ago, Grandma gave me this beautiful diamond cocktail ring. It's gorgeous. It was one of hers. Grandma had lot's of boyfriends. I asked her if she was sure she wanted to give me this, my cousin is her first grandchild, she said, don't you worry sweetie, I already took care of her.

I think she gave my sister a pair of earrings. She just treated us like her own. I loved her too.

So, it's gonna be hard on Monday. Real hard. In lots of ways. This is the part of the family that's been real distant the last few years. You know, the kind that stops coming to things and stops including us in things but you find out everyone else and their brother was there. And when you do see them they act like nothing's wrong. If you do approach the subject they act like you are blowing things out of porportion.

cause it's perfectly normal to not see your first cousins baby yet. Not to call and ask how she is, or to even call to say congratulations. But it's ok to call and say, Are you coming to christmas or not? Cause we need a headcount for chilli dogs?


Oh, I'm on a roll, I need to stop.

Night!

Sorry about your grandma, but what a blessing she has been, huh? And sorry your cousins are being weird. Am I the only one who thinks chili dogs for Christmas (or any time) sounds pretty good, though?

 

[punkin413]

it's 2:00 a.m. here and i just got home from playing guitar hero with DH, anna and chris (my best friend and her husband). that game is ADDICTIVE!!!!!!! i'm soooo tired. but i'm wired so i thought i'd read up on our thread before i went to bed to calm me down a little bit.

before we went over there we stopped by our neighbor's house to see how he was doing. as i told you guys earlier, he had part of his tongue cut out where they found the tumor and they also took out his lymph nodes. anyway, amber (his wife) wasn't there and he couldn't talk very well, so i didn't really get to talk to him about disney. it did come up though - he was telling us how long it had been since he smoked and he said, "since before we went to disney world." and i said, "yeah, i heard about that. did you guys have fun?" and he nodded and said, "snow white's hot." i told him i'd come over soon so amber could tell me all about it. i'll get the scoop then!

it was cute though - he had a magnadoodle he was writing stuff with instead of talking. and our other neighbors made him flash cards that consisted of things like "leave me alone", "more pain meds, please" and "hi, my name is shawn ______ and my address and phone number are ______" (in case he gets lost!) haha!

I AM SOOOO SKINNY!!!! Well, not really. We went to brunch at a local buffet called Golden Corral (I don't know if it's nationwide) and I think I was skinny compared to a lot of the folks eating in there. I don't mean that to be mean, but doing some quick mental math makes me want to avoid buffets while I'm dieting....something about "all you can eat" makes ones weight go up. I felt badly. I wanted to hand out this DIS web addresses. There was no less than 3 morbidly obese older people with oxygen tanks.

I filled up on salad with healthy toppings including carrots and sunflower seeds and diet dressing. The only sugar free desserts were puddings, so I passed. I'm still pretty full but I'm learning not to STUFF myself.

WAY TO GO on your good choices! we have golden corrals here and they are also filled with people who are NOT in good health.

Hey everyone..i was so anti peep in my dinner decision tonight..its not even funny..i totallly had A BIG MAC AND FRIES!!! Can you believe it.. granted i took out the middle "bun" to save a bit of calories..who needs another piece of bread anyway? lol...i crack myself up because we went to breakfast this mornign and i went to the trouble of getting an egg white omelet and a nonfat latte' blah blah blah..then i have the salt and fat factory for dinner..oh well..i don't think my daily calorie totals are THAT horrible considering i had little else..but still..oh well..it was good..and now its over...back to peepishness ! lol

just be extra good the rest of this week and maybe all the big mac and fries will do is give your metabolism a good kick!

Oh, my DH paid me the biggest compliment today. He told me that he knew he shouldn't ask me about my weight, but he said that he noticed that I was looking might "hot". What a compliment! I must be doing something right.

that's so sweet!!!!!!

So, it's gonna be hard on Monday. Real hard. In lots of ways.

big to you, mony! i'm so sorry to hear all this.

Night!

Sorry about your grandmother--it seems she was a very special lady. It is not just you--your cousin seems a little odd acting.

Today is Rebekah's dedication at church. I will post a pic later of her in her outfit. After that it is a visit to Dh sister's house. Her son is having a bday party today.

HAve a good one.

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

Wanted to stop by and say HI since I have been mostly lurking these days. Just a few shout outs....

Faith! I told ja! It's that fiberless (but delicious) food they serve at Disney that puts the weight on. It just falls right off when you get back to healthy eating.

Jen....Your belly is adorable! And I'm with Monica...is that it? Wait til the third! You'll look like that at 6 weeks!

Noni.....Poor kitty! I'm soooo sorry!

Fran! Something else will come along soon for your DH! God is good. Don't cancel the trip til 45 days out if you have to.

BEE!!! Where have you been? Come back and visit when you can!

You know who I've been wondering about lately?? Besides Bee?
DENE! Wonder if she got to her goal? Has a boyfriend? Is still friends with her hot trainer? CHECK IN DENE CARTER!

So, it's gonna be hard on Monday. Real hard. In lots of ways.

Monica....I'm so sorry. She sounds like a fun grandma! And she sounds like she loved you kids like you were her own.

My Granddaddy passed away yesterday and the funeral is tomorrow too. He was almost 98 and had been in very poor condition physically for a long time. We had a nice visit with him at New Years. He knew me and talked to me for a good long while that afternoon and I'm thankful for that. I'll miss him but I'm happy that he's home now....no wheelchair required.

And Monica....re: the tent chapter in Eclipse....at twilightmoms.com Stephanie Meyers give a good description of the "actual" dialogue that went on between Edward and Jacob in her question/answer session that is posted on the site. You'd enjoy it.

EVERYBODY HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY!

Sorry about your grandaddy

 

[mousehouselover]

Thanks everyone for the kind words and condolences. My head and heart have reconciled and I know that was not only the only decision we could make but the best one as well, so our baby didn't suffer anymore.

Since I only ate one meal yesterday I wasn't very peep-like but it wasn't too bad. I brought almost all of my ribs home and split my dessert with DH. Those baked sweet potatos will kill you though. I looked it up and 1 potato has 13 pts! I don't even want to find info on the drink I ordered.

It's DD1's b-day today. I have a 15 yr old. She has developed and interest in music and is currently a fan of Hanah Montana/Miley and the Jonas Brothers. She started writing song lyrics a few weeks ago and even has a few that are pretty good. We are celebrating by having a Disney food feast (for the kids, the adults need healthier foods.) We got the Mickey shaped pizzas, Pooh ravioli, and Cars soup. For snacking while we play games; there's Lion King cookies and Mickey shaped cheese slices. Dessert will be Monsters, Inc ice cream sundaes with Mickey sprinkles. It's not overly balanced, I feel a bit guilty feeding them so much junk. We did just have a discussion this morning about diabetes and nutrition and we always try to eat healthy so they know this is a rare treat.

Monica~ I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother and you wierd family. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow.

Fran~ Oh No!!!!! We've been through unemployment a lot with DH so I know totally where you're coming from. Don't give up on your trip, things will look better in a month or two and it'll be ok. Make sure he's maximizing all his options; newspaper, internet, friends and business associates, he can even try a temp agency and request temp to perm jobs if he feels he's not getting anywhere on his own. If he needs to brush up on some skills and training, he should look into that during this down time as well, it will make him more attractive to potential employers. Our local college has a life learning program that offers short (1 day to 8 wks) classes in all types of things; HR, different computer applications, project management and more. Most of the classes are $150-300 to take. Our spring sememster just started but some of the classes aren't being offered until Mar and Apr so he may still be able to enroll.

 

[mousehouselover]

Lexy~ to you as well. I can relate to knowing your grandpa is at peace. While it's heart breaking to loose someone it's also such a comfort to know they aren't suffering anymore.

I've been wondering about Dene lately too. She made so much progress and was such an inspiration last year. I'm sure she continued on that path and is doing great. It would be wonderful to get an update though!

DH just bought me flowers, I've got to get them in a vase.

So sorry about losing your grandmother. Sounds like she was a special lady. And your cousins are being weird...very weird. My step sisters are exactly like that though and it makes me crazy!

before we went over there we stopped by our neighbor's house to see how he was doing. as i told you guys earlier, he had part of his tongue cut out where they found the tumor and they also took out his lymph nodes. anyway, amber (his wife) wasn't there and he couldn't talk very well, so i didn't really get to talk to him about disney. it did come up though - he was telling us how long it had been since he smoked and he said, "since before we went to disney world." and i said, "yeah, i heard about that. did you guys have fun?" and he nodded and said, "snow white's hot." i told him i'd come over soon so amber could tell me all about it. i'll get the scoop then!

(i hope that doesn't offend anyone.....i think it's hilarious!)

That is pretty funny. Your friends sounds like a really fun group of people every time you post about them.

My Granddaddy passed away yesterday and the funeral is tomorrow too. He was almost 98 and had been in very poor condition physically for a long time. We had a nice visit with him at New Years. He knew me and talked to me for a good long while that afternoon and I'm thankful for that. I'll miss him but I'm happy that he's home now....no wheelchair required.

EVERYBODY HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY!

To you too. I understand about knowing they are in a better place too. Sometimes you just know when it was their time to go. I am sure having that nice visit at New Years wil help you find some peace too.

It's DD1's b-day today. I have a 15 yr old. She has developed and interest in music and is currently a fan of Hanah Montana/Miley and the Jonas Brothers. She started writing song lyrics a few weeks ago and even has a few that are pretty good. We are celebrating by having a Disney food feast (for the kids, the adults need healthier foods.)

YUMMMM, can I come?! Sounds like a fun party. Happy b-day to your DD!
I cant imagine having a 15 yr old!! Has the boy crazy period started full swing yet? I am so not looking forward to that!

Have a great Sunday eveyone. I am planning to go to the mall for a SHORT little visit today...I have a gymbuck I need to spend and it expires today. (those familiar and obsessed with gymboree like I am will understand why it is imperative that I get there ) I of course will have to stop at the Disney store too. DH promised to come along (and he loathes the mall) and get me a wheelchair if I feel like I shouldnt be walking I almost want to tell him I need it just to see if he really will do it

 

[DisneyLaura]

Ok peeps I have a lot of catching up to do so here goes.

I just realized something. If we never get our old board back, that means that all of those bathing suit pics are lost forever, huh? What a shame, because mine was truly excellent.

And what about our intros and bios? Those would be lost, too. Goodness, this is really going to be an inconvienance for any future newbies.

I know what you mean, such a shame

I am STARVING today!! AF is visiting and I am so close to falling off the wagon. For lunch I had tomato soup and a 100 calorie pack of chees nips which = about 350 calories. Oh, and an apple socloser to 450. Plenty for lunch. So why do I want to stuff more in my face?

AF always does that to me.

OK, I am jumping in, if it's ok with you all. I wanted to post on the old thread, but it was long and all that blah blah blah.

I AM going to lose 15 pounds before we go on our trip to WDW in April. I've been eating like crap lately. Dh has been deployed for the last month and I just have not had the energy to do any 'work'.

I just want to be hot, is that so wrong?

Welcome aboard

I am having the same problem. And I need to go to the store so I have no healthy carp around here.I am drinking crystal light-so far NOT helping.It is taking all my willpower not to grab Rachel's goldfish.

Is it wrong to steal your kids goldfish

Sorry you're up!!!! Aunt Flo packed her bags 3 years ago (when Norah was bornt) but she left her cosmetics bag and her matching cell phone case. Ok, THAT just cracked me up wayyyy more than it should have.

Found my way over. It has been a long week. Did not weight this morning. Here is a pic of Joshua after Katie's swim practice and then a pic of Rebekah and Joshua. I was snapping pictures of Rebekah after her bath and Joshua came in and said, "I say cheese too" so he joined her for some shots.

Those are great pictures. She's getting very big.

I KNOW!!! Crazy thoughts. The only things I am motivated to do right now is a) go on a posting frenzy b) eat an entire cake mix c) watch some TV.

I would go with the cleaning too. I need to do some

okay......i have to vent to you all since you're the only ones that will understand. remember my neighbor who recently found a cancerous tumor on his tongue? well, ray works with a good friend of theirs and today she told him that his wife's work sent them and their kids to disney world when he found out he had cancer. now they know what a disney freak i am and amber (the wife) and i even talked about me helping them plan a trip when their youngest (DD2) is about 4 years old. so i'm kind of OFFENDED that they didn't come to me with this WONDERFUL news of this disney trip and ask me to help them plan it!!!! is that wrong? i just live for planning disney trips (i know......sad!) and they know this and didn't mention it to me. i feel bad for getting ticked about it because, one, i know it's silly and, two, they've been through a lot. but i could've made their trip SO MUCH BETTER!!!! i'm just expecting them to say, "yeah....we went to disney world and it was awful because we couldn't get in anywhere to eat and every park we went to was crowded." then i'll want to say, "i wish you'd have told me because i could've helped you with ALL OF THAT!!!!!!!!!"

I totally understand. You can plan our trip. We are leaving on Nov 25th 2009. There will be 6 of us, DH, me, DS10, DS8 and DD4 (those ages are adjusted for the time that we will be there) and my mom. Feel free to tell what to do.

Eh! I couldn't find it...DARN!

BUuUuT...
I ran into this little ditty. From the best movie EVER!

I totally used to think Afternoon Delight was ICE CREAM....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemQTqQ6Dfc

Thanks for the laugh, that was funny

PEEPS!!!! I got 95 lbs on my squats and i repped it 12 times!!!! wooo hooo!!!! and all the little boys were skeert!

Dawn- i hate it that you feel so dissed...maybe there is something there that you didnt know about...i felt the same way when my coworkers went to Disney and all but flat out told me that they didnt want my advice.

How rude

i want everyone to FEEL THE MAGIC, damn it!

So, yesterday I went in for my annual exam, and my doctor asked me if DH and I were planning to have kids. When I explained that we were thinking about possibly moving out of the area and wanted to make that decision first, she asked where we were thinking of moving. When I told her Florida, talk soon turned to Disney. Apparently, she has a conference coming up there at the Contemporary. We ended up talking about Disney the ENTIRE time! By the time she left the room, she was planning to go down there 2 days early in order to have more time, and she asked if she could call me if she had more questions! And as she was leaving, she said we'd have a lot to talk about next time and that she should note on my chart that I'm the "Disney freak". When I told her that was my email address, she said, "No, it isn't!" and laughed when I said, "Yes, it is." It was the most distracting and funniest annual exam EVER!

This is me too at my annual exam with my midwife. We BOTH love Disney and that's what we talk about in between my exam. Her SIL works as a nurse in Disney so she's there a lot.

"WHAT? YOU DON'T HAVE A PASSPORTER???? ARE YOU INSANE?!"

UM Is this the best book to buy? I was flipping through it the store a couple of months ago. Do you recommend any others?

Hi.. all.Good thoughts to those that need them. and always, always... Disney Dreaming!!
Love,
Bee

Hey, I found you guys! I thought you were all being sneaky and kicked me out for being pregnant or something when it was missing from my subscribed threads.
Speaking of HUGE......34 weeks.....

You look so cute, I love pregnant bellies and talk about being HUGE here is a picture of me the day I delivered my DD, now that's HUGE

We had to put one of our kitties to rest this morning. She darted through the living room past one of our dogs who isn't known for playing well with cats. She came out of nowhere and the dog grabbed her across the back. We were never able to figure out exactly where she was injured but they couldn't keep air from leaking and collecting under her skin. She couldn't breathe and I know she had to be in pain. So we did the only thing we could do.

So sorry to hear about your kitty.

I don't think we'll be celebrating our 10th year anniversary at Disney World in June. My husband lost his job Thursday after the modular home company that he worked for permanetly shut down. I cried most of Thursday & part of yesterday. Why couldn't this have happened after I graduate in May 09?

Sorry to hear about your DH job. He'll find something soon.

Hey everyone..i was so anti peep in my dinner decision tonight..its not even funny..i totallly had A BIG MAC AND FRIES!!! Can you believe it.. granted i took out the middle "bun" to save a bit of calories..who needs another piece of bread anyway? lol...i crack myself up because we went to breakfast this mornign and i went to the trouble of getting an egg white omelet and a nonfat latte' blah blah blah..then i have the salt and fat factory for dinner..oh well..i don't think my daily calorie totals are THAT horrible considering i had little else..but still..oh well..it was good..and now its over...back to peepishness ! lol

I was reading your post eating a Boston Creme donut, that's bad

Ok, I mentioned in my journal that my "grandmother" passed away. She was 94.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. I had the same situation, my mom's mother passed away when my mom was 7 and my father's mother (my parents were separated when I was 1 1/2) I used to see occasionally because she lived out of state. My cousin's grandmother though she was my Nonnie.

My Granddaddy passed away yesterday and the funeral is tomorrow too. He was almost 98 and had been in very poor condition physically for a long time. We had a nice visit with him at New Years. He knew me and talked to me for a good long while that afternoon and I'm thankful for that. I'll miss him but I'm happy that he's home now....no wheelchair required.

Sorry about your granddaddy. I felt the same way with my GP (grandpa). He had three strokes, one big one and two little ones and was in a wheelchair. He also had dementia (not sure if I spelled that one correct) so that was hard seeing him like that. He always thought I was my mom.

Well peeps I was gone for a day. Yesterday was an ok day as far as food went. I did good all day and then we went to a birthday party and I had macaroni salad (two helpings), sandwich (grinder that they cut up into small pieces), small piece of cake and two peanut butter cookies and of course a diet coke. I have to take Elizabeth to the doctors today I think she had croup. Talk to you later.

Laura

 

[Sandy321]

Laura Thanks - you did a great job of recapping - as did everyone else!!

thoughts and prayers out to my PEEPS!!!

Sorry about your grandmother--it seems she was a very special lady. It is not just you--your cousin seems a little odd acting.

Today is Rebekah's dedication at church. I will post a pic later of her in her outfit. After that it is a visit to Dh sister's house. Her son is having a bday party today.

HAve a good one.

I love ALL the AWESOME pictures the Peeps have been posting!! Such precious babies, and bellies, my my - and Laura - adorable!!

DD is 11 but not so into Hannah/Mylee/Jonas ??? Not sure why, just glad I didnt have to stand in line for tickets - why is the Imax 3D only one week???

Fdil called and wants to do a quick 2 mile run since its 35dgF - hah hahahahaaaa - I said yes, she fooled me - I've been fighting a cold, and have been sleeping all day Saturday, Friday, Thursday... so ok... I get dressed, open the door to outside to determine what else I need to throw on...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? ITS FREEZING out there!! There is SNOW everywhere!!! The sun is shining, and she's coming anyway....

OK Peeps, if I have to exercise, somebody else better get up and get a mile in!! (and I wont make anyone go outside to do it!! )

 

[monymony3471]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your kind words and support. You all are amazing. Every single one of you.



Lexy- Sorry about your papa. How nice to have that special afternoon with him. I am somewhat disappointed that my sister and I didn't go to the christmas gathering, cause Grandma Rose would have been there. I still have many great memories though.


I loved when she let me dress up in her fur coats.


Dawn: those are hilarious sayings. You should come up with a "few more" for them.

Stop talking about Big Mac's please!

Now I want one! lol!

DH just bought me flowers, I've got to get them in a vase.

so sweet!

I totally understand. You can plan our trip. We are leaving on Nov 25th 2009. There will be 6 of us, DH, me, DS10, DS8 and DD4 (those ages are adjusted for the time that we will be there) and my mom. Feel free to tell what to do.

i'm game if you are! i'm serious. i love planning disney trips. i've actually looked into being a part-time disney travel agent but i don't feel like going through classes. i was in school until i was 25 years old and i'm done with it! they'll release your park hours in may of 2009, so just remind me closer to time and i'll get right on it!

UM Is this the best book to buy? I was flipping through it the store a couple of months ago. Do you recommend any others?

i LOVE my passporter!

You look so cute, I love pregnant bellies and talk about being HUGE here is a picture of me the day I delivered my DD, now that's HUGE

you look so cute! i just love pregnant bellies. i hope i feel the same way about my own pregnatn belly if i ever get pregnant!

Punkin - be careful, this Peep board may have some PG vibes goin on!!!

Laura I love my Passporter - but I also love TourGuideMike - if you go thru the link on the Theme forum you get a discount - it is an "ebook" lots and lots of info, so you truly have to treat it like a HUGE book - Punkin is a great resource too, so if you only buy one book, I'd go for the Passporter!! (and then use all of us!!!)

Monica more and take one day at a time, but do not give up on YOU!!!

BEE are you still lurking?? So thinking of you!!

Come on PEEPS - we've got to do something to get something!!! WORK WORK WORK!!!

Lexy so sorry to hear about your grandfather.

Monica your grandmother sounds like a hoot. Sorry for your loss

I just came within inches of sliding into a plow! My antilock brakes finally kicked in and if the only time it ever happens again is on Test Track I would be very happy.I am still shaking!

I think we have just about enough of the fluffy stuff. Maybe I could ship some to you gals in warmer states!

I just spent 187.00 grocery shopping.Why does healthy food cost more? I stocked up on Peep friendly foods to keep on track. I need to drop at least 20 lbs before April 10th!!!

WDW trip in 20 days woo hoo

Hope you are all having a Skinny Sunday

I got right back on my tread mill today. And it totally kicked my butt!

That's what I deserved for not working out for 2 weeks.

I ran though, I got 11 minutes of running in. My new tunes on my ipod helped. Total time on treadmill 28 minutes. I just couldn't go on. I am so out of shape.


How long does it take to get the ok to be registered at twlightmoms.com

It's been hours!

I have a question regarding exercising.

My plan is to do the treadmill no less than 4 times a week. I walk at a steady pace and alternate with running.

Do I need to do anything else? Is that all I need? Will that help tone my body?

Like right now, from the running, my butt is sore. I know the muscles were worked.

I also stretch before and after the work out. Some stuff I picked up from the tae bo tapes.
