DISappearing PEEPS Volume 2

[dismom9761]

Hi everyone! Congrats to all the losers today.

Sandy,we are so proud of you,don't get discouraged.I jogged 60 sec intervals last night and felt like I was going to die.You are an inspiration to all of us!

disneyfav delete that site, nothing good can come of it - they are too good at negative debate, they thrive on making you hurt or hate!! Dont give into them, it will hurt them more if you walk away!! (and by "them" I mean the haters, as in everything, its not fair of me to generalize - obviously they are not "all" like that - I think its funny that they use the "f" words etc so often

I know I can't believe the language they use over there. I haven't used language like that on a regular basis like they do ever. They must think they are really cool for talking like that though. Reminds me of my sister, who actually still talks like that.

This is about 2 hours into the race - about mile 5 3/4 (I think mile 6 was right where you cross the bridge by the funnel cakes!!)
(and its not the "ugly" picture of me running - I'll have to copy that from someone who took my picture at mile 12!! Its a classic "What NOT to wear" shot!!)

Here's from my run in July - my first 5K I did the couch to 5K program!!

Not sure until they post if you can see the difference. The pink shirt is a Lane Bryant woman's cut shirt - at the gym a woman more my size asked where I got it - because she was also looking for a larger woman's style shirt to "accomadate the girls

The yellow WISH shirt is so perfect for what it says, and how well it stands out (esp at 4:30 am when you have to get to the start of the race!!) everyone that passed me (and I do mean EVERYONE passed me!! lol) so many took the time to encourage me and tell me how much they loved the saying on the shirt - and to tell me I would finish!!

DLF > DNF > DNS -
Dead Last Finish greater than
Did Not Finish greater than
Did Not Start

WISH gave me the courage to start...
WISH = We're Inspired Stay Healthy
and there is a feather which I just learned is a symbol of Dumbo's feather that gave him the courage to fly!!

I would have loved to have done the race just to see the characters like that. Except I would of taken forever to finish, (if I ever did finish in the first place,) since I would of stopped to see every character. I love how Ariel is up in the castle.

 

[Sandy321]

I was warned not to stop for pictures, it would/ did slow me down.. because of it I am not an "official" finisher - they turned off the chip timer at 4 hours, I finished in about 4 hours and 5 min - but I started around 6:35am too (it takes a long time to get 16,000 runners across the start line)

If you dont maintain a 16min mile pace,you get swept - ie, they pull a bus in the path and make you get on it,and they drive you to the finish line, and you dont get the Donald Medal...

I FINISHED - I stayed ahead of the sweepers!!

Here's one of the ugly photos!!

what not to wear? a fanny pak (with a camera!! and a cell phone... and of course other essentials!!)

YOU LOOK MARVELOUS!

I have an opinion question for you all.

I have a ressie for Port Orleans riverside. We get a trundle and a crib and a refridgerator, and 2 queen beds for 10 days. Me, DH and our 4 kids.

I can get 2 rooms at a value, which means 4 beds, 2 bathrooms for 100.00 more total.

What would you do?

I'm thinking of the space, and the extra shower/tub and toilet. 2 parents to get the kids ready at the same time.

I'd probably go for the value resort.

born2bird- That much for a pretzel!!
monymony3471- I'd go with the two rooms.
Utahmama- Hope you have fun on your trip! Be sure to tell us all about it!

Same well I can't say I've been perfect this week.

Well my wallet says go for the value resort but I really love POR. That's were we are going to stay when we go in Nov 2009. Sorry I am no help.

Monica - not only will you have 4 beds, and 2 bathrooms - you will have a room to put all the kids to bed in, and then you and dh can sit and have an adult beverage!! you'll also have TWO tv's!!

and at Pop (and other values) its better bus service, closer food court, ok so its my opinion I've stayed at POR and at POP - dh wont stay at POR again - but I did enjoy the theme, and I was the one that walked to the food court every morning to bring breakfast for the rest of the family!!

POR is beautiful yes, but, the room was teeny for me and my DH and 4 kids. We had a crib and used the trundle and literally had to walk across the beds to get from point A to Point B. After day one I was ready to sleep in the car.

I've done 2 rooms at Pop and 2 rooms at Movies and had MUCH more room. You gain another shower/bathtub and twice the square footage and drawers, but you lose the fridge.

Have you considered the Family suites at Music (?) ?

Instead of a fridge, you can use a cooler (as luggage) to keep your milk and sodas etc. cold. This was my genius redneck solution last trip. Free ice too.


I'm just waiting for my DH to return home from work so we can go to DLand! I'm all packed and READY.

 

[Sandy321]

WENDY I keep thinking you left already!!

I also bring a cooler - Sam's club has one that collapses - you can either mail it down UPS, then on the way home from Disney, its holds the extra stuff that comes with a trip to disney!

 

[UtahMama]

Nope. STILL waiting!!!!

He must've gotten held up at work. Dangit! We were suposed to leave at 3. and it's now past 4:30. Norah was going to nap in the car, but now she's asleep in her shoes and coat clutching her sippy cup.


This MIGHT be a pump fake good bye.

Love You guys!!!! ((kiss kiss))

 

[Pakey]

Sandy you look fab in your pics. What an accomplishment.

Monica, go with the value and get the 2 rooms. It's supposed to be a vacation for you too.....

Wendy, have a great time. Dontcha love how those annual passes save you money. Thats why we're heading back to WDW in May. Just saving all kinds of money by doing it.

Have a great evening peeps.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I am so sorry I was ever sent a link to that other board. I knew I should of just kept my mouth shut, but do I listen to my own common sense? Of course not. They are just starting the same arguments they did on the CB. Remind me not to go back over there.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Have a good trip Wendy.

 

[Sleeping*Beauty]

Keep your mouth shut over there!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I'm a samer this week! This is a fly by because DH and I are off to dinner at Chili's tonight. I'll try to post more later.

 

[punkin413]

thanks for all the well wishes about my granny and pa. they are very lucky and i'm very thankful they are okay. i talked to granny on the phone last night and she said they have a stack of business cards at least 2 inches thick of people that have stopped by the house and offered to help them clean up the trees for free. i love how people help each other out when situations like this happen. they can't do anything though until the insurance adjuster comes to look at the damage.

she's so cute - she saved a twig that broke a window screen but didn't break the glass. she thinks it's so amazing how the wind was blowing so hard as to cause a tiny little twig to cut through a window screen. she saves EVERYTHING!

Sandy, don't let em get you down. That shirt size isn't near as important as the fact that you are running. Nobody can take that away from you and I'm so impressed that you are doing it. You're a real runner too. In fact, you are the only runner I know so that makes you my hero.

Sandy, here's a great big hug wrapped in chocolate. I so know how that feels. I am so sorry you are hurting. I hate that. Please smile and get beyond that. You are such a terrific person. I hope you realize that. You are very special and loved by us. I want you to be happy.

WHAT THEY SAID!!!!!!!!!

and stop "admiring" me!! for the newbies, I'll have to post my picture - I hope I have the really, really ugly one of me from the marathon!!

this just struck me as really funny!!!

OMG......you look awesome! if i'd have just ran almost 6 miles i wouldn't be able to stand up, let alone keep going and smile for a picture!

and i love that ariel and eric are in the background waving!

Here's one of the ugly photos!!

you look BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Nope. STILL waiting!!!!

He must've gotten held up at work. Dangit!

this ALWAYS happens to me when we're getting ready to leave for vacation! isn't it so hard waiting on someone when you're READY TO GO????? hopefully you're on the road now and almost there!

monica- go with the value. more room = a happier mommy. plus pop has FROZEN COKES!!!

 

[monymony3471]

The boys liked the idea of having their own bed and said they could live without the huge pool slides.

Matt: All I need is a pool mom.

Zach: I want my own tv.

DH: Do what you want.

So, I am.

We stayed at Pop last time and loved it, so I'm thinking we are going to go back.

Just when I thought I was done making all these changes. I'll call them tomorrow. I think they are closed anyways.

Maybe I'll try anyways. tee hee.
