"Diva" Trip - "Cliff Notes" p.236 OLD THREAD!

[Califgirl]

When I ran the Disneyland Half last year it was my first time running EVER!

I found a 16 week program online and followed it and I was fine. The most I ran before the race was 10 miles but I still finished in 2:48.

Now I have 3 Half Marathons that I'm signed up for and 2 more that I want to sign up for. The soonest is June 5 in San Diego.

Wow! I'm totally impressed! Care to share what online program you used?

I've been listening to this websites podcasts: http://marathontrainingacademy.com/

I really like them, they know what they're talking about and I find them to be encouraging, helpful and positive.

Thanks for the link - I love podcasts. I'm going to go sign up for this one now.

That's how I used to be. Well, once I hit HS. Funny, I ran in junior high, mind you I was a sprinter, not a distance runner. Taking the leap to sign up for the 5K pushed me to trying out the Couch to 5K running program. It's got me up a little bit but I haven't been as strict with it as I should. Partly because of the weather and my allergies though. I need to jump back in the saddle so bad. It's like re-learning to run. But it's a run/walk anyway.

I was a sprinter in Jr. High too. Didn't run at all in high school, or since. It's great so many of you are runners. I appreciate the support - a lot!

I don't think I'd be doing it if it wasn't for everyone here. I stopped running to swim in high school and then never ran again until I started all this. I've been feeling a lot better lately, that's for sure.

This is the song that never ends,
yes it goes on and on my friend.
Some people started singing it,
not knowing what it was,
and they'll continue singing it forever just because...

Aw, don't be a hater. After all, I love you!! In fact....

I love you
You love me
We're best friends
Like friends should be
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?

Go Barney!!! mwuahahahaha

One ringy dingy snort snort....

I don't even know what that means but it had me laughing so hard!

Thanks for getting all the songs stuck in my head! Now It's a Small world song that never ends!

Oh my daughters used to sing that when they were little! They both have daughters now ...need to teach it to the grandkids!

Oh yes, you do. Payback time!

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

 

[MrsPinup]

Sure would be ! My daughter, Nicole,might as well give her a name,thinks BBQ would be too messy. I'm pretty sure none of us spilled on ourselves at BTR. Her and Bill are looking at their first venue on Sat. When they narrow it down I will check the places out.

We didn't spill at our wedding. Just stay away from ribs lol. But she is the bride, and it is all what she wants.

Rochelle~ I WANT that drink!!! It looks so refreshing right now. Our local farmers market doesn't have yummy drinks like that.

My friend and I rode about 11 miles today and I think my butt is bruised We decided to hit up Goodwill and the Antique store after we arrived back to my house. I did find a few treasures to craft with! Even a framed Cinderella print. The frame will be repurposed. Does anyone want the print? It is of the fairy godmother changing Cinderella.

I am thinking about making a little trip to DL this summer. I know, maddness! But I cannot take any time off of work this spring or fall. Now that I am a teacher I am at the mercy of the school schedule.

For you runners: I am running the Lodi half on May 15th, San Diego on June 6 (or is it 5th? - whatever the Sunday is), and Davis Moon-light on July 16th. Anyone up to do them? I know Wendy is running the Davis race too.

 

[LisaCat]

I don't run. I think my knees would implode. LOL

Y'all are cracking me up with the songs. IASW doesn't stick for me like Pirates does. Dead men tell no tales..... arrrrrrrrr......

I'll be offline next Th - Su (4/28- 5/1) as I have the unequalled THRILL of going up to Portland to visit my mother. Pray for patience for me.... that's all I can hope for. LOL

Wish I was. I need to get a little more serious about it. But I can't run on weekends until I get a new job. Blech.

 

[Happy 2 B Me]

Vintage, you made me laugh out loud. I forgot about the ringy dingy. I am so glad I am not only one that watched Laugh-in.

Momma4, It was the first --comedy variety show. Much like SNL but then again very different. Most of the regulars on Laugh-in went on to have wonderful movie and Tv careers. Wish there were reruns. Oh the good old days.

Bella, Wow now that is a Pineapple drink . I sure wish our saturday market sold those. Your Saturday market sounds so much more fun then ours. Mostly just fruits, vegetables, some crafted items and now and then food items.

Ok who started IASW song. Now I cannt get that out of my head. Grandkids say-- Grandma don't sing LOL .

Have a wonderful night Diva's. Reading your posts always makes my day go by so fast.

I was looking over the front page and thought I'd re-post this information here. This is the list I have for the PNW meet.

Click here for info on the PNW meet or contact karylrocks/Carol
List of PNW mini-meet attendees:
karylrocks/Carol w/ her DH
Queenbillabong/Theresa
TheColtonsMom/Sherri w/ family
captnmgd23/Amy
BC Disney Lover/Angie
yourMaire83/Marie

Is this still correct?
I know Carol, Angie, and Theresa have already booked rooms and bought tickets. Anyone else? It's almost exactly two months from now. Time to get planning!

If you click on the link above it will take you to their website with hotel info, tickets prices, etc. I did read somewhere that the tickets are limited and can sell out so if you are interested, now's the time to buy them.

It seems like a lot of fun, and a good way to hang out with some friends and get to know some of the other ladies before the big trip. I love mini meets!! I'm not familiar with Lynwood, WA. but maybe someone who is can suggest a fun place for y'all to do dinner and drinks in the evening.

Let me know if I need to add or delete anyone from the list. Thanks!!

Thanks for posting this Beth! Just got an email update that says:

2011 PNW Mouse Meet Tickets are now On Sale and going very quickly.

You won’t want to miss out on one second of the magic at this year’s event including our celebrity guest speakers: the ever popular Jeff Kurtti and Disney Legend Jack Lindquist.

[MamaKate]

What?? Katie, Katie, Katie. I'm so disappointed in you. I thought you had good taste.

:

Okay so I was wrong. It's not James that annoys me, it's Jacob . I barely have time to watch AI and when I do I'm usually doing something else at the same time so I get confuzled with the names.

I'm so happy I don't disappoint Beth anymore, but sorry Jess, I do like James.

 

[Belle Ella]

Well, darn. I'll stay alone on my no-like-James-island I suppose.

Lisa are you flying into Portland or driving up?? If you drive, make a 5 minute stop in Salem & I'll meet ya to say hi!!!!

You can find many of the skits on youtube.

For all the runners in our group!

I walk along the avenue.
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you.
Meet a girl like you.

With auburn hair and tawny eyes.
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through.
Hypnotize me through.

And I ran.
I ran so far away.
I just ran.
I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

 

[mommaU4]

I don't run. I think my knees would implode. LOL

Me too. I'm worried I'd do permanent damage!!

Ok who started IASW song. Now I cannt get that out of my head. Grandkids say-- Grandma don't sing LOL .

Blame Wendylady.

Thanks for posting this Beth!

No problem! I'm just hoping y'all get a decent sized group to go. The more the merrier!

Okay so I was wrong. It's not James that annoys me, it's Jacob

I forgive you!! And I was right, you do have good taste.

Well, darn. I'll stay alone on my no-like-James-island I suppose.

One is the loneliest number.....

I'm already falling asleep! I'll have to check these out tomorrow. I can't afford another night of no sleep. I'm too old for that nonsense. lol







Nighty night, ladies!!

 

[QueenDoOver]

Okay, Sherri. Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully more WA ladies, or those close by, will make it!

I did read that there is a Bucca di Beppo's, and an Old Spaghetti Factory in Lynnwood. Those are both fun, casual places to eat.

I am so bummed that we will be out of town during mousemeet! I really would love to see you all. We will be driving back from Yellowstone on that Sunday.

Anyhow, I would suggest that you head on over to Alderwood mall. They have the only Disney Store in the state and tons of great restaurants. It is just 5 minutes or so from the Embassy Suites.

Also, the restaurant in the hotel is really great for steak and seafood. Our local entertainment book usually has a great coupon. BOGO I think. Which makes the $20+ per plate much more reasonable. I have a bunch of those books and would be happy to send you all a few coupons, if you think you might use them.

Just let me know.

 

[tinkermell]

Thanks for the link!
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!" Now I just need to start.

I know you can, I know you can!

Morning ladies! I convinced her to change hotels. Since Epcot and Hollywood Studios were a priority, we choose Beach Club Resort. And I say we because I decided to go with also!! My first time to WDW ever! Funny thing is that I will be going to DL the week after I get back. 2 Parks within one week - yeah!!

Woohoo!

Great morning @ the land. No crowd & light drizzle. Mom & daughter day!

Andrea, Where do you live in California? I live in Tulare. LOL....anyone know where that is?

Nope, not opinionated at all. Scotty is getting a bit cheesy, but with that voice he'll do well. I was never really a Stefano fan, although he did rock it last week. This week....meh, back to boring.
Fingers crossed for James and Casey being safe tonight!

I love Scotty! So there.

Yep, Remember Billy in SNL. .

Now do you remember Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In? The telephone lady? Lily Tomlin. A show way before it's time. Now that is dating myself. I loved Goldie Hawn in Laugh-In to.

Patty

Another dating herself here. I totally remember that show. Remember Ruth Buzzy and the purse. How about the guy who would ride the trike out of nowhere and make it fall over. So stupid but funny. Knock, knock?

Hope everyone has a nice Easter weekend. I get tomorrow off for Good Friday . But I'm going to the dentist . Then I'm going to brave the crowds on Saturday and go to Disneyland .

You are one brave soul!

This is the song that never ends,
yes it goes on and on my friend.

Doesn't get any better than Laugh In !!!! One ringy dingy snort snort....

That made me chuckle!

[smile4stamps]

Good Morning everyone!

I didn't sleep very well again last night. I am really tired of not sleeping well. I think I need to go buy new pillows but I keep forgetting until I go to bed again and then its too late!

I'm so excited for my Birthday trip. How many days do you think are too many for DL? I will be there June 6 - 11 with my best friend. And then 11-?? by myself (Still urging others to join me but we will see!) I'm debating staying till the 15th or 16th. The 14th is my birthday so want to stay till then. I'm just wondering if I will feel burned out by then?

Who else will be there in June? I would love to meet up. Kelly I know you will be there and we definitely need to set something up when our plans are more settled.

 

[kelmac284]

Morning all and usually I would say TGIF but since the girls are on break this is the one week I am NOT happy that it is almost over As always the break weeks go by WAY too fast and we didn't even really do anything LOL.

For my suvivor/AI girls this was a fun week for sure. Wow Survivor was crazy this week eh??? Man Phillip is just OVER the top!! That guy is right up there with crazy Johnny (the guy who said his grandma died or whatever his name was) as a real loon! He is entertaining though! He reminds me a little of the guy with all the tatoos that thought he was a ninja from a few seasons back. Gosh what was his name??? He had long hair and he was in 2 seasons I think. Coach somebody I think. He was kinda crazy like that but I think Phillip even has him beat LOL.

And AI I thought was good but I think they def had the right bottom 3 this time and even though I thought Haley should have gone first I think it was ok that Stefano went.

Oh and Jess James is not my fav either. I think he WILL do ok and I see why people like him but I personally am not a fan. He reminds me too much of Adam Lambert. My favs are Casey Scotty and Lauren.

Trudi loving remembering Laughin. I was born in the 60's so I don't know if what I watched in the 70's were live shows or re-runs but I DO remember watching it as a kid and LOVED it. It was actually a bit raunchy and I am kind of surprised my parents let me watch it LOL but I LOVED it! Loved Lilly Tomlin and Ruth Buzzy esp the skits where she was the old lady with the old guy on the bike (the pervert) who she would hit with her purse and of course LOVED Goldie in all her air headedness!! I used to watch Sonny and Cher and still can't believe little adorable chastity is now a man! I used to watch Flip Wilson when he was Geraldine. All of those shows! They had some great tv back then. I also used to love the Bob Hope specials and Dean Martin. Ok am I dating myself good enough yet!!

Tracey that is funny that you brought up the Alderwood mall. I used to go to that one all the time. Of course I am sure it has changed since I was up there but I remember they used to have a GREAT made in washington store there and Northern Reflections which is probably LONG gone. I loved their clothes. That was a chain that started up there and they actually brought them down here but they didn't make it here. Doubt they are still up there although maybe. My other fav mall was the Clackamas Town Center. Course that was in Or but I loved the ice rink and it had great stores. When I lived in Marysville we used to have to go to the Everett mall and it was tiny so that is when we would go to the the Alderwood one because it was bigger. But then when I moved to Vancouver I had the Vancouver mall which was OK but I would go into Portland and go to Loyd Center or Clackamas like I said. Much better ones.

Ah memories. I sure miss it up there and can't wait for my trip this summer!!

Anyway I am off to work today but hopefully not for long. Not sure what we are doing later but tomorrow we are off to buy eggs to dye for Sunday.

Hope everyone has a good day today!
