Girls Only Disneyland Trip!! Old thread. New link in first post

[wendylady36]

Also, I just want to let you guys know that I added my pics to the shutterfly account.

*runs off to Shutterfly*

Hopefully I will be able to upload mine tomorrow evening. I meant to do it this morning, but totally forgot.

It does look like that. Looks like she was getting fresh with Cheryl.


I know. They probably think we all have cooties or something.



Yeah right.

Of course I am....I think...

I had open RNY too. Molly and I had a long talk Sat. night and I told her all about it--it was a really scary situation. Mostly because it was at night and I had no one there to advocate for me. If it were not for the iCU nurse I would probably be dead today because my doc (despite being world-renowned) was IMO a doofus. It's so funny to me that so many of us share similar histories and experiences, in one way or another. Maybe that's why we all get along . . . . (to mis-quote Rodney King)

My issue is that there ISN'T anything I can't eat. I wish I was one of those who gets sick eating chocolate and such--but no. The only time I got sick is two or three months after the surgery I went to breakfast with a friend, had 1/4 waffle with some maple syrup and the maple syrup did me in. Haven't touched it other than sugar-free since. (but I bet I could eat it now). I also never started drinking soda again. Just didn't miss it. (Couldn't wait to get coffee again, however!)

Ex-DBF gained about 40 pounds during the three years we were together because he would eat his meal and then all of my leftovers. (Made me mad a lot of times because I wanted it the next day for lunch!)

I always have leftovers for lunch the next day.
I can eat almost anything. Last night I was eating the Starburst..OMG I thought I was going to die after eating them.
I am glad you had such a great nurse.
Pop (diet) & alcohol are my down falls..they are loaded with calories..not the diet pop, but its still not good for you!
Maybe that is why we all get along.

Michelle has already made that offer . . . . several times!!!! Actually, and this may sound selfish, I was originally looking forward to a "solo" trip, then felt guilty and decided to take Mom and now am somewhat happy that it is a solo trip again (except for the matter of this plane ticket thing.) It would be $300 later--but I'm also thinking that it's going to cost me more than $150 later to get another U.S. Airways ticket and if I can get a cheaper ticket now on another airline (prices are down since I originally booked) it would make sense to do that and switch both tickets later.

See you got your birthday wish, however, it could have been under better circumstances. But you get your solo trip.

Stacie and her butts! It really wasn't necessary to take pictures of my butt too. I can understand the bears and chipmunks, but not mine (I think you were just hoping I would fall of the Segway)! I also love the pictures of the nuns and how you posed to make it look like you weren't taking pictures of them.

 

[bumbershoot]

But I think that I would have less motivation if I had someone yelling in face & screaming...I would probably yell back...

I am exactly that way. In college I rowed Crew, and I actually stopped a very important "erg test" (where you row on an ergometer and are timed, so they know how strong you are) b/c the coach and my teammates were encouraging me by screaming. When in the boat I would just go into a zone and ignore the coxswain and row as well and hard as I could and follow my teammates, so having people scream at me didn't work. Thankfully my coach understood, and we rescheduled for a private erg test, where she just sat there timing me, saying quietly encouraging things when I looked tired, and I got the best time of the 3 years I rowed.

If I ever go on Biggest Loser and get the female trainer, I'd have to quit immediately, b/c it wouldn't work for me.

...or maybe it was after that lady fell I realized I would need to wake up or suffer the same fate.

Someone fell??? Poor lady!

 

[jordansmomma]

Debra, no guy is worth the trouble so be done with him! Of course, you don't have to listen to me, but that's just my annoying two cents.
I'm so excited that we are doing Lilo and Stitch before Mouse Adventure! I've never been there and I'm such a sucker for character breakfasts!

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Thanks. No, kididng. I love your 2 cents, they were not annoying.
I love that character breakfast!! It is my favorite, well besides Chef Mickeys.

Stacie B., thank you so much for putting together the Segway tour! Also, thanks for waking me up so I didn't miss it!

I think they put special Disney drugs in that coffee, or maybe the muffin, in the VIP lounge. One cup of that stuff and I was ready to go! ...or maybe it was after that lady fell I realized I would need to wake up or suffer the same fate.

OMG!! It took a lot out of me not to LAUGH MY BUTT OFF, that is after she said she was ok.

I didn't have the coffee, and I don't think it was those muffins either. I think we were all afraid of falling and making a fool out of ourselves. No one wanted to die either.

DITTO!!

Actually Heather and I were the ones who bought those pins.

Donna - I think it was you and I who bought them outside of Buzz Lightyear.... and we got identical boxes of pins!!

Kerry is right, I bought two boxes too. I have now collected 7 or 8 of the different designs. I still need Figment, the Yeti and one or two others.

Jane - I have an extra Figment Vinylmation pin (they had boxes at PT Fleas and I picked up two boxes on Sunday - got another Figment!!). Let me know if you want it

 

[wendylady36]

What kind of tags are you talking about? I have skin tags, handicapped hang tag thingy, luggage tags, Christmas tags and probably other tags.

Have you never heard of our friend the Tag Fairy? She puts lovely, sometime embarrassing, sentences under our screen names and uses pretty colors too. She gave me my dancing hula monkey, my "Disneyland is the best" and the other one that is best unread, 'cause it's a secret.

A visit from the Tag Fairy is always exciting!

Lovin' the cute furry behinds!

 

[wendylady36]

Seriously! I would have died if that was me! Here we were joking about falling and then someone actually did!

Someone fell??? Poor lady!

She thought she knew what she was doing and got on before she was allowed to. We all learned an important lesson from that lady. I really hope she isn't reading this!

 

[wendylady36]

Lovin' the cute furry behinds!

Which for some odd reason reminds me...we never had our LPF!!!! I hope you all lied and said we did it!

 

[BillyFan]

If they do, pass it my way too. My blues just got worse! Ruben called and we need some brake work done on the car to the tune of $600!!!!!

That always seems to happen to me after I take a vacation. Something like that comes up and makes me wish I hadn't spent the money on the trip. Not that I wish I hadn't gone, but just wish I still had that money, kwim?

The real kicker is even after spending $600 our mini van is so old and run down it still barely makes it around town. We can't drive it on any vacations or any long distances anymore.

Oh well, what can ya do. That's life. I am sorry about date/non date guy though.

Marty just brought his truck in yesterday, and it cost us $600 too. It never fails......

So inquiring minds want to know--what's so special about Himalayan salt?

It's a coarse, pink salt. She pays for all of her groceries, so I'll use whatever she wants. Of course, I had to go to 3 stores for her yesterday morning before I could even go to her house to cook. Talk about a long day on your feet!

I hope no one is coming in at the last minute and seeing "let us know what is causing your itch" without knowing the background
Well, there's your tag!

and Beth--I saw the comment on your tub picture before I scrolled down and saw you were "fully dressed"-- At first I thought--"wow--I can't believe Beth, who is camera shy anyway, would let Ruben take a pic while she was taking a bath (hopefully with bubbles for modesty's sake!)"

I thought the same thing about Beth's pic.

 

[mommaU4]

Ooh la la......YOU SEXY THANG!!!

Hmmmm, tired thang was more like it. lol

But anywho. I lost roughly 170# give or take 25 #. So cancer was gone. I was a lovely & sickly looking size 6. Then 2 years after that I found out I had ovarian & cervical cancer. So sick again. But not too bad. I survived, but was wretchedly weak & looked like death...well with other things involved, I was put on steriods. Between the steriods, the stress, a failing relationship, I gained back 65 pounds. I have been struggling for over a year to lose....

Wow, you have been through so much!!

I hope I don't see these pics on the side of a cab when I come to Vegas. Not judging, just saying.

Please, to be on a cab here you have to be topless and in a thong in a tub, not fully dressed.

So after this weekend did anyone get any new tags?

I've been looking and haven't seen any.

and Beth--I saw the comment on your tub picture before I scrolled down and saw you were "fully dressed"-- At first I thought--"wow--I can't believe Beth, who is camera shy anyway, would let Ruben take a pic while she was taking a bath (hopefully with bubbles for modesty's sake!)"

No, I would never do that. Heck, I don't even take baths! They bore me. Showers only for me.

I love the slide show. Thanks for posting it. Also, I just want to let you guys know that I added my pics to the shutterfly account.

Thanks. I'm going to check out your pics now!!

I loved the slide show too! I hope I see more soon.

Once more pics are posted, I can edit the slide show to add more pics. I don't know if there is a limit but I can keep adding until it won't let me add anymore. lol

I am on so many sites that I get befuddled easily. I am a neurovariant, yep, that is my answer and I am sticking to that. I am not worthy of a tag fairy and am happy just being silly old me. At another site the avatars are called tags and I have one of a llama that was made for me as a test model as mine was the prettiest llama of all the llamas on that site.

How is the itchy lady doing? I was lucky and only ended up with major technicolored bruised on my thigh and all along the inside of my leg. Dad called me a curb hugger and I decided to hug a stanchion too close and squeezed the leg.

I am up for more fun in the sun but only if my bank account recovers as right now I have about $300 in credit that needs paying.

How cute, a tag fairy, what whill they think of next?

 

[Sherwin]

HAHAHA. You had Cinderella hold Beth...

Oh...Cindy...

 

[disney-inspired]

You are all a bunch of chatterboxes!

I'm feeling a bit blue because our trip is over but to console myself I'm going to Disneyland next Friday and the Friday after that On the 20th I'm taking my mom to Disneyland for her birthday, I'm trying to bum $20 off my dad so I can upgrade her ticket to a 2-day parkhopper because I want her to see DCA too. She has only been once in 2007, before TSMM!

I'm feeling really fat now and bummed even more since I gained all the weight I lost last year. I'm going back to the gym today but I don't know how much I can do with my back pain. My roomies know that I had to practically crawl out of bed because my back was so bad. I messed up some nerve or something but sometimes I can barely put on my pants. I'm trying to not have to spend money and go to the chiropractor by swimming, it will help me lose weight and relieve the inflammation. A nice dip in the jacuzzi won't hurt either

Yup someone fell...sometimes you should really wait for the CM, even if you have been on one a few times!!!

I wouldn't mind Kim, but Jillian..she is HARD CORE!!

Can someone repost the link to the slideshow y'all are talking about? I can't find it.

Thanks.

 

[bumbershoot]

I keep forgetting to mention how much I enjoyed the scavenger hunt! I had really good teammates (each of them had at least one moment of brilliance, of suddenly knowing an answer or knowing where to find it...like knowing where to find the population of Disneyland, for example) and so that was fun, but even just finding the answers was good fun, too!

I think I'll start making things like that for hubby and son, just for fun.

So thank you, makers-of-the-hunt!

My biggest regret had to be not having a tape recorder at the Ariel meet and greet. I have never seen a princess so catty and they were sharp claws. does anyone remember what she said?
