[Lady Lallie]

Happy Halloween, LL! Have a wonderfully haunting time today!

Thanks! I hope yours was good too. Can't wait to see Halloween pics of Chelsea & Connor.

LL! This was a delight to see this morning

Thank you for sharing!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU!!!!

Thanks!

Boo to you! Cute pumpkins!

Thank you. We had fun making their faces.

Happy Halloween!!!

Thanks!

Congrats on the weight loss!!!!! You look great!

Thank you so much. I am feeling good!

Happy Halloween! I'm not going to listen to the Boo To You music because I know it'll get stuck in my head.

Oh yes, it's stuck in my head for sure.

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

Happy Halloween! Thanks for sharing those videos!

I adore your little pumpkins, they are so cute! The one second from the left is my favorite.

I agree, Marc did that one and it's my favorite too.

Oooo...I don't know how I got 4-5 pages behind but

YAHOO...

LL-you look awesome-(The difference in your weight in now very obvious...you go girl...)

I love the paper chain idea...great visual motivation...

Hmm...methinks I see the Twilight Series on your bookshelves...(I always look at what people are reading...those covers are so distinctive...I've read them too...(Emily has them)...I kind of like Carlisle......I figure the age difference is better if I'm going to crush on one of them...(although he's actually like 400+ years old...)

Going to go back and look and the Hallowishes videos...thanks for Posting...and again...

Congrats on all of your hard work...

Oh yes, that is the Twilight series. I love those books and I am not ashamed to admit that my friend from work and I have already bought our New Moon movie tickets for opening day. I love all the characters, I appreciate all of them. I feel like a dirty old woman when I enjoy looking at pictures of Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob. I think I"m going to reread New Moon or listen to it in my car again before the 20th so I can be refreshed of the story.

I love your little punkins! Very cute!
Happy Halloween and Boo to you!

Will you be staying home for the little trick or treaters?

Nope, no Trick or Treaters in my complex. You know, wherever I have lived since moving out of my parents house, I have NEVER had trick or treaters. It is NO FUN!

Boo

to you!

43 pounds ! LL that is sooooooooooooo awesome! I went back and looked at your picture and you are looking fine!!!!!!! I got really behind on your TR this week, so I wanted to stop in and Say HI and Happy Halloween and Yeah for less than 75 days!!!!!!!! I bet you are happy that you do have this Jan TR planned, because your original september trip would be long over!!!!!!!!

Good luck to Marc with his upcoming surgery!!!!!!!

Thank you! Yes, I am very happy that I have January planned. It's helping me to keep sane for sure.

LOVE your little pumpkins! Hope you had a great Halloween, LL!!

Thanks! I hope yours was good too!! We had great weather for it for sure.

I forget where exactly you wrote this, but, yes, I totally agree that between Thanksgiving and Christmas our trips are going to come up FAST. I am already having a hard time believing it's November. Could be the crazy weather, though.

I feel like a dirty old woman when I enjoy looking at pictures of Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob.

Me too! I have to keep on reminding myself that he is my sister's age, and therefore nine years younger than me.

 

[meeko_33785]

Happy belated Halloween LL!

Glad to hear things are going well post-surgery. Hoping everything stays on-track.

The new itinerary looks great. You got into Liberty Tree- and for breakfast at that! It will be interesting to hear what that's like. And how exciting that you're going to have another night at French Quarter.

 

[gellybean]

I'm here and reading!! Just on page 14 now but am determined to read everything! I think it's so cool that you and Jen Jolt are gonna be in WDW the same week we are. Jen was reading my last TR and I was reading her's til I fell off the grid!!

That's so awesome about your weightloss LL! I've considered the same surgery many times. I've yoyo'd all my life, so you're definitely an inspiration to me!!!!


Jen-Thats so awesome that you are moving to Austin!!! I'm in Austin I don't know if you've given more details about the move between page 14 and now so forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered, but when are you moving? What area of Austin? etc etc!!

If you need any info on Austin, feel free to ask away!!


January is gonna be here before we know it!!!!!

Heading back to page 14 to read more

Time is just flying by! I am so glad I am not the only one who feels that way about Taylor Lautner.

I am shocked that she was able to get me a pre-park opening breakfast. I didn't think that would be possible. I'm really interested to see how they do the character meal at LTT since CP will be closed.

Thanks for joining in!! I'll let Jen fill you in on Austin.

I don't regret for a minute doing my surgery. I've battled my weight all my life and I was never going to be successful on my own.

 

[shannn]

Your little pumpkins were adorable!!

Thanks for the Boo to You links. My kids & I sang it all day on Saturday. (and annoyed my husband to no end...)

I had to laugh at this. A friend of mine at work and I were just talking about this today. I feel so dirty, enjoying the preview scenes with Jacob. It's just so wrong!

Oh my...at least you guys aren't old enough to be his mother...Oh gosh...I can't even allow myself to go there......I am old enough to be his mom......I would have had him when I was 22...I will not go there...I will not go there...(at least Rob P is 24 or something so I'd have been only 16 so that's not as bad but still...can you say COUGAR...rrrr...uh...

The sad part is I read the books w Emily and really, really liked the first three...(I have some issues with Breaking Dawn...I know Steph Meyer wanted to wrap everything up nicely for her fans...but I think she copped out by allowing Bella to have it "all"...that was supposed to be the whole dilemma for her...Edward and immortality or Jacob and family so I don't like that she handled that the way she did...but having said that-I LOVE the first three books...and if I were ummm...closer in age to Bella I would probably have the posters and everything that Emily has in her room...Edward or Jacob-that is one heck of a choice...

We have the tapes and they make a great listen in the car...

(But I really wish that everytime I turned around I didn't see another photo of a shirtless Taylor Lautner...I find it disturbing...I really don't want to go there......that's why I am picking Carlisle to crush on and sticking to it...

Thankfully he does nothing for me, Rob P, a bit more so but it's more of a "he's cute" lol.

Now Charlie.....Billy Burke...that's another story.

Charlie. Really. Go figure.

At least he's my age.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Patricia, you had me cracking up with your post about Twilight!!! I am still laughing!!!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Hmmm...I agree Billy Burke is very attractive...but the character is sort of ehhh...

When I was 18 I would have been totally crushing on Rob P...that whole sort of tortured soul, brooding cutie type...

I do think Lautner is nice looking although he's a baby...and it would be interesting to see what he looks like in twenty years...

The Jacob character is one of my favorites though...especially the way its written in the books...

I am looking forward to seeing what they do with the movie....

This just made me laugh too much. I try not to dwell on the fact that I'm old enough to be Taylor's mother. Seriously, if Demi Moore can go get herself a young cutie why can't I?

And I agree with you about Breaking Dawn. I just couldn't get into it like the other 3 and had some major issues with it. It's still sitting in my nightstand unfinished. I just really didn't like it.

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Patricia, you had me cracking up with your post about Twilight!!! I am still laughing!!!

Well I aim to please......I think I'm just having some kind of mother/female conflict...I really do think that TL is a baby (albeit a really cute one...for crying out loud...he's not that much older than my daughter's friends...but he has matured since the last film and really they need to keep some clothes on him...I mean would it kill them to put a shirt on him...? (although it is true to the book...when the wolves were always phasing and ruining their clothes...I do think that the Jacob character was well written...

Hmm...I suppose if Demi can do it...all's fair...so you go for it girl...what's good for the goose is good for the gander...

I just...can't go there...I will not crush on anyone who is more than 10 years younger than me...That's my limit and I'm sticking to it......it's probably the mom thing...

And I'm glad someone else agrees about Breaking Dawn...I feel she just went off track with that book... I like bits of it but not like the other three...


Poor LL...she's going to come back and find her thread the unofficial TL/Breaking Dawn chat room....

 

[Lady Lallie]

Well PTR readers...I have some bad news.

Due to some unforeseen financial things, I've had to cancel Jen & I's January trip. The money I had set aside for January has been sacrificed for all those pesky things.

I'm really upset. I feel like I've let all of you down and Jen most of all. I'm doing what is best for me though and I have to keep telling myself that.

A year ago at this time, I'd have pulled out the good ol' credit card and not thought twice. This year, Marc & I have done so well paying down our debt slowly that I really don't want to ruin our progress. So I'm doing the grown up thing and canceling. Marc & I have have a lot of goals to accomplish next year and we need to stick to it. Disney has to be sacrificed.

I have no idea when I'll get back to Disney. Marc & I want to start trying for a baby when I've lost 100lbs total so it might be awhile or it might not be. Who knows. It's up in the air.

I really appreciate all of you reading along, especially cheering me on in my weight loss journey. I'll still be around on your PTRs and TRs. And if you don't see me around, send me a PM and direct me to your report. Sometimes I need a honing beacon.

See ya real soon!

 

[belle8306]

Oh LL! I am so sorry you had to cancel your trip. I know how much you were looking forward to it. I know that it is a downer right now but keep looking ahead to all of the good things (and there will be many) to come.

 

[jordanyosh]

OH NO!!!!!!!

Not knowing about my trip, I know how you feel.

Oh LL, I'm so sorry to hear the news, I know how much you were looking forward to this trip! I'm so proud of you for making such a big decision and sticking to it, I know it must have been difficult for you. Disney will ALWAYS be there and you've got big plans this coming year. Best wishes with your goals and I can't wait to hear all of your good news!!!!! Take care!! One of your biggest fans, Kristen

 

[eandesmom]

Oh no!



I'm proud of you for being "grownup" as I'm often not very good at that myself but sad for you as well. A mixed blessing this being responsible thing!

I think the hard part for me was reading Breaking Dawn and being rather uncomfortable with Kendall reading some of it and needing to get over it. I agree though about some part and not others.

Poor Billy, the character is a bit meh. I still like him.
