Girls-Only Trip ~ Old planning thread, see first post for new link

[wendylady36]

Just wanted to say that if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. I don't want to blab my problems to you all, but yesterday was just filled with bad news.

Really can't wait until next Friday so I can escape reality for a weekend!!!



I'm having issues with my weight too . I gained 65 pounds with my pregnancy & I lost a total of 15 pounds after giving birth. Guess how much I've lost since then..... ZERO!!! So in 9 1/2 months, I'm still 50 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight . I guess the good news is, I haven't gained any extra in those 9 1/2 months .

If it makes you feel any better, I gained 65 lbs (in under two years) without getting pregnant and I haven't lost any of it.

Just a quick Hi.

I hope everyone is doing well. for those in need.

We're putting on an airshow tomorrow (if anyone is interested check out this link: http://www.edwards.af.mil/flighttestnation2009/index.asp, so I'll be working 12+ hours . I'm looking forward to it because I also get 2 hours to enjoy it with my family.

Depending on how tired I am I'll try to check in here on Sunday. But it may be more towards the middle of the week.

Take care, talk to you all soon.

steph

My DH is going to the show tomorrow.

And Hi to whoever I forgot, or who hasn't posted for a bit.

Derrick my son is coming over later on today to look at some of my ideas for T-shirts.

So far these are my ideas.

*Princess crown with Mickey ears scrolled into it, done in glitter.

*Simple outline of Sleeping Beauty's castle, done in glitter.

*Retro Disneyland logo that I found the other day. It's kind of cool. Real 60ish looking. Tomorrowlandish. Are you getting the feel?

When I see you guys next week, I hope to have some drawings for you!

The retro logo sounds like something I'd like. Can't wait to see you drawings.

Wow, Theresa! You'll be there before we will, but our trip will only be about 5 hours; okay, 5 1/2 if we have to stop and pee!

It takes you half an hour to pee??????

Oh, and where's Cheryl been? Is work keeping her busy?? I miss her posts around here.

I'm here I'm here! Sorry--things have been hectic. Topped off by a meet for another website at last night's Trick or Treat party. Had a lot of fun--AmySue and her DD joined me and my friend Brandy--then AmySue and her DD stayed the night in my DVC studio --they left early for DL this morning--I had breakfast and then came to work.

Then AmySue is coming to my house tonight along with Donna and tomorrow the three of us and Brandy are playing this game which none of us know what we are doing at DL! But we will have fun. AmySue made us black t-shirts with dalmation mickey heads on them because the name of our team is Cruella's Diva Crew.

So anyway that's what's up for me. Hugs to everybody.

I feel your pain.

 

[fairykin]

Thank You, Melody for working on that design!!! I'm so happy that you are getting to do it, it is so thoughtful of you!

I'm going to make a Hoodie with Heather's design on it! I hope Heather is alright, i've pm'd her but no reply.

Katie and Wendy...You Both are Beautiful! Don't lose one moment of peace over a number on a scale.
Your worth cannot be measured.

Thank You Everyone for helping me with the pass info. So I can either go to guest services at the Bank? or at the Pavillion? Or Guest services at DCA?

Michelle.. I hope things get better for you.

Beth... I hope your headache feels better

 

[fairykin]

CheryL... That sounds like a great time! I hope that Ya'll have the bestest time! How cute do those shirts sound? AmySue is so creative! Here is some pixie dust to help you along your quest

 

[cheshiregirl]

Happy Friday everyone! It's Homecoming Week here on campus so I am tied up doing the traditional sorts of homecoming things through the parade and football game tomorrow night, but then it's off to lunch with Beth and Amy on Sunday and then the reward of the DL trip next weekend. I need this so bad it's not even funny!!! Can't wait to see everyone who will be physically there and we will be thinking of all of you who will be there in spirit too

Are you cheating on us???




Just kidding! Good to see you. Have fun with AmySue, Donna and Brandy!!

I hope so too. Her last post on here didn't sound that great. Heather if you're reading this, we miss you and hope you are ok!

And yes, my headache is gone. Thanks for asking.

Have fun (or good luck??) with the homecoming, and can't wait to see you and Amy on Sunday.

YES. Actually, I'm cheating on them because (1) I joined that site first, and (2) I actually am sort of "official" over there (not a mod, but similar)

 

[stacielee]

Stacielee, every time I hear the ELP song, I think of you.

I hope everyone is having a great day!

That's funny! I was in Joann's Fabrics once and that song was my ringtone and someone called me and the girl at the register knew what song it was!

same spot you are in. So is Tina and her DH.

FYI- We all have the Costco APs that need to be redeemed.

Stacie, there is no way I could last 3-5 hours without a potty break. I tend to get infections, and that would put me over the edge!!

Hi to Darlin Courtney, Theresa, Tracey, Wendy, Callie, Linda and AmySue!

I have the Costco AP that I need to activate as well, so I guess I'll be at Guest Services either Thursday night or Friday morning.

We've done it twice with just Allyson and I, where we haven't stopped at all. And it's exactly 5 hours from Christine's dorm to our house, or the other way around.

It takes you half an hour to pee??????

No, it doesn't take me 1/2 an hour to pee! But getting off the freeway, and we usually stop where there's also some fast food so then everyone has to get something to eat, the use the bathroom, then get back on the freeway... about 1/2 an hour, maybe a little less.

I thought about doing that other one you're doing, starts with an S and is Japanese, right? It looked like a lot of fun but I couldn't justify coming out 2 weekends in a row!

Here's what I've been doing for the past 3 days: Wednesday I had a gum graft done; I have some recession on my 2 front bottom teeth so they take a graft from the roof of the mouth and attach it to the gums. It's 95% successful so it shouldn't be a problem. But I was out for most of the day, or at least in lala land.

Thursday and Friday I cooked ... 16 meals for the freezer. Like the once a month cooking. Here's what I made: Black Bean Soup, Broccoli Cheese Soup, Chicken Tortilla Soup, Chili Bean Burritos, Navy Bean Soup, Crock Pot Chicken Taco Soup, Crock Pot Beef Stew, Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff, Crock Pot Enchiladas, Crock Pot Lasagna, Crock Pot Mac 'n Cheese, Manicotti, Savory Baked Chicken, Shredded Salsa Beef and Spice Macaroni & Cheese. I also made extra black beans and pinto beans. And topped it off with a batch of Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies. That should hold us for about a month or so, hopefully close to Thanksgiving. I love doing it, makes me feel really organized and I'm not stressed out when I'm trying to figure out what to make for dinner.

And I lost 4 pounds this week! I've started a new diet, the glycemic index diet. So far, so good, but it's only been 1 week.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and I can't wait to see everyone next week!!!

Thank You Everyone for helping me with the pass info. So I can either go to guest services at the Bank? or at the Pavillion? Or Guest services at DCA?

Dawn, The Bank on Main Street is no longer The Bank on Main Street. It's now the new Disney Gallery. Pretty cool, huh? I bet you'll love browsing through there on your visit!

So, the places you can get your AP renewed are either at Guest Services in the Esplanade, AP center in DCA or AP Center in DL (which is now at the Plaza Pavillion).

Hope that clears it up for you.

Cheryl, is this MP? I didn't know they were having an event this weekend. . .

Seems like you are really getting to enjoy the Halloween season at DLR. You've been there a LOT this fall. LUCKY GIRL!

 

[DangerMouse]

Hey Callie ~ I had a thought......you know how you said your DH was frowning on any upcoming DL trips? Do you think maybe he's just doing that and is planning on surprising you??? You never know! Maybe you could drop hints that you want a DL trip for Christmas......

Later!

Wow, Beth, that would be awesome. And it sounds just like something that YOUR husband would do!

Dan isn't really into planning vacations. If I didn't plan them, we wouldn't go anywhere! Seriously. But hey, that's a minor downfall of his. He is practically perfect in every other way, so I can't complain. And if I honestly tell him that my happiness was dependent on a trip to DLR, he'd allow me to make it happen. I just can't abuse his generosity. I promised him after the last trip that we were on a Disney hiatus, and so I'm trying to stick to it.

Who knew it would be so stinkin hard????

 

[disney-inspired]

Hi everyone,
Just a quick hello because I have to jump in the shower, get ready, and pick up my laundry before heading out to Whittier for Lisa's play and afterward my small group sleepover

I hope everyone has fun evening!

Yes, it is MP (last night was a meet at the Trick or Treat party).

Tomorrow is this thing called "shinteki" that is a bunch of puzzle geeks that just happen to be doing a puzzle day at Disneyland. I went on their website and I'm not sure that this isn't going to be VERY hard. But we shall see!

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

Hello girls!! I'm eating a pb&j sandwich. YUM!

Tonight DBF and I are going to go watch Where the Wild Things Are. I'm so excited. I'm thinking ihop for dinner?

Aw, Cristabel. I see in your siggie Osita passed away. I'm so sorry.

 

[fairykin]

Courtney..but what we really wanna know is what kinda jelly? Strawberry or Grape?

Aaaahh i want to see Where the Wild Things are!

Well my husband is stuck in Houston. The weather is bad and he's still at the airport. They say he will make it home it will just be really late due to bad weather. I worry him flying in it.

 

[karylrocks]

I have a 5 day ticket for next week but if I'm going in Feb/Mar it would make sense to upgrade to an AP, right? Which one would I need and how do I go about upgrading it.

...the places you can get your AP renewed are either at Guest Services in the Esplanade, AP center in DCA or AP Center in DL (which is now at the Plaza Pavillion).

I am planning to upgrade to the Deluxe AP from a 5-day pass in December. It is a convention pass which has no MM days and I won't be there on any block out days so I willl probably upgrade the first day. Since I will need a picture I guess I will need to go to the AP Center.

*Retro Disneyland logo that I found the other day. It's kind of cool. Real 60ish looking. Tomorrowlandish. Are you getting the feel?

I love the retro look also and am looking forward to seeing the designs.

I bought my airfare today and my friend is coming with me! We are flying into Long Beach at 9:30 Thursday morning and leaving Sunday afternoon. It was $100 less per person than flying into SNA or LAX. If anyone else is doing LGB those days and wants to share a ride, let me know.

Grape! I like strawberry the bestest. But we don't have any.

I'm sorry about your hubster, Dawn. He will be okay and get home safely to you!
