Girls Only Trip (old planning thread, see link to new one in 1st post)

[sahbushka]

Thanks! I can't believe how close it is, it doesn't even seem real to me.

I hope to be able to do it one day! It sounds so fun! You'll have to let us all know how it goes.

I need to be trying. I have gained a little since our trip and I know I need to get it under control. We have joined a gym and my dh and mom have been going a lot, but I am the one who stays with the kids. I just can't seem to find time or drive to go. I am flying to Reno to visit a friend soon, too, and I think I will need an extender. I didn't need one on the trip in march but it was close. I haven't gained THAT much, but enough that I feel it in the way my clothes fit and deffinitely in my confidence level. I need a make over! Maybe I should get a haircut! My DBIL gave me a gift certificate for one for chirstmas I still need to use. Hmmm. I also have money towards a local spa that is having a deal right now...hmm.

I use to only get my hair trimmed. Then in January, Amanda convinced me to chop it all off. I love it!! I had always had long hair until then.
It makes a nice diffrence.

So how are ya cut it? A lines are super cute!

That's awesome! I had a practice member who did the SugarBusters diet. I could not believe how fast the weight melted from her, and she was well over 50 so I know it wasn't anticipated for her to lose so easily. I keep meaning to get that book, b/c at around 4 or 6 weeks she completely lost the sugar craving. When you just don't have it, you lose the urge.

Really? I might need to check that book out.

Lens Crafters is free when you buy the glasses there (at least in Canada). It's great, because I have to take my son in constantly to get his glasses readjusted and the nose piece cleaned/replaced/what have you. He is always bending his glasses with sports and being a boy. I have never paid for any adjustments or nose pads

I'll have to check Costco's policy...hmm.

I am doing my own modified version of the Adkins (new) diet. I do eat nuts, avocado, salads alongside meat and cheese. I have lost 18 pounds since March 20..I do have a lot to lose so that is why it is coming off fast. I know that it will start slowing down. The teacher I work for is losing about 2 pounds a week doing the same thing I am. She has also been doing it for 2 1/2 months.

It was hard on Easter since there was cake and candy along with all the delicious pasta and rolls. My mom makes these one rolls that are soooo delicious!! But I prevailed. I did eat alot of lil smokies.

This post is for Cheryl and Stacerita, and for any other curious of minds.

Never, ever, ever, woul I be able to give up pasta and bread. It's just not going to happen!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Does Lens Crafters charge? How much?

As for the spa...Yeah, I think I will try to set it up. It is difficult with how much I work and how much my husband works to try to get time away from the kids....but I will try.

I know the one here always has the 'get 2 pair for $99' special going on. That is for the cheap plastic frames, and no frills. The doctore appt was $49 I believe, it's doable to get out of there with two pairs for under $200. Then again, I always have expensive taste, and can never find a frame I like from their 'special price' selection.

It's so cute. Can you make it a little bigger? I'm still having a hard time making out some of the words, but then again, my eyes suck.

No, the next size up cut off the bottom. I can give you a really big one for the front page if you want, but this is about the best I can do. Sorry!

So how are ya cut it? A lines are super cute!

I don't know...for work it has to be above my coller (sp?) or swept up...so it either has to be super short or long enough to pull back. I don't know if I am quite ready to go super short...it makes me nervous. We'll see...plus then if I don't like it and have to grow it out again, I would have to go through the akward stage where I have to pull it up but it isn't long enough to pull up. choices choices.

I'm sorry for your loss.

If I happen to be there, I will definitely hang out with you (no compensation neccessary). Going alone isn't as bad as you may think. You get to notice all the little details and you can do whatever YOU want!

 

[kelmac284]

Afternoon all! Man it has taken me FOREVER to catch up and I have to go AGAIN! It took me this morning and then I had to leave to go to work and then again I had to leave to go to my doc apt and then just now I FINALLY finished reading this whole thing. HOLY COW you guys talked a lot.

I can't even BEGIN to catch up.

All I know is I am sure that mom and I will end up staying on our own cuz I know she is not going to want to walk from the Hojo or pay the prices at the Disney hotels so we will probably just get our own hotel again.

But I am up for pretty much eveything else.

I can tell you that the BBQ looked interesting when we were there last month but it seemed a little pricey for what you got. You can look it up on Mouseplant and they have pics and a description of what you get. It is like 28 bucks for adults for some ribs, chicken and cornbread and a cupcake.

I am def up for the character meal and I have never done Lilo and would love to do that.

We just did the Goofy's for dinner and that was fun and the food was good I thought!

I'm personally not interested in tours since mom and I have done all of them unless there are any new ones you can come up with but anything else interesting that you come up with sounds good. I like the idea of garden walk or anything else.

Anyway as usual gotta run get the girls and then it is off to swim team. Run run run.

Will probably take me forever to catch up again but see you tomorrow I guess.

(And p.s. (Heather I don't know if you won't be at the February meet but if you WILL be mom and I are interested in Club 33 too wink wink but of course I am sure that probably is not an option)

Anyway I gotta run. See ya!!

I'm sorry about your Grandfather. Take care of yourself.

Now as far as your offer goes, if you throw in airfare and a hotel, I'm soooo there! I'll be your new best friend!

I agree...I savor the time when I get to look at the details instead of trying to make sure my family is still nearby and un hurt! I love just sitting somewhere and taking in all the details of that spot and then going somewhere else and listening to all the sounds in that spot...it is very rejuvinating (sp?).

And I too am so sorry for your loss.

Seafood buffet would be like my worst nightmare. Seriously, that is one thing I just don't eat. BUT it is supposed to be one of the best, so if the June ladies are seafood eaters, then we can think about adding it. I'll sit that one out though for sure.

I like seafood but a when I hear seafood buffet it totally grosses me out! We have a place over here where you order as much sushi as you want and it only costs $20 but whatever you don't eat, they charge you for it. I like that because it's made fresh. Seafood buffet makes me think of it just laying out there all day *shudder* GROSS.

Did you know that my intials are now BS

TAG FAIRY ALERT!

I know, I know!!

I hate going into that store.........

That suckles.
Walmart is the DEBIL! (said like the Waterboys mom).

It takes me forever to get anything!

We buy our groceries from the debil. And most of my chonees.

I get my chones from Lane Bryant. They are usually 5/$25 and last me a long time. Chones are one thing I won't go cheap on!

hi--just checking in.

LOVE THE PRINCESS PIRATE THEME! Hmmmm. Scavvy hunt ideas are coming to me . .. . . .

Maybe a picture of us on the POTC ride along with the name of one of the pirates painted on the wall in queue? Just saying...

It's like an online philabuster~!

I'm just a bill, Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.

I haven't had sugar in over 4 weeks.

Good for you!

I am trying to lose weight. And it works...but it is hard at times. Right about now I get the craving.

They say having a small piece of dark chocolate helps curb cravings and besides, dark chocolate is healthier than milk chocolate.

So, can you read it now? I wonder if I need a different font for 'plunders through'. I think it's a little hard to read. Opinions?

How about bolding it?

I am doing my own modified version of the Adkins (new) diet. I do eat nuts, avocado, salads alongside meat and cheese.

Holidays are the hardest! I'm glad there aren't any more holidays until July (grandma's birthday).

Never, ever, ever, woul I be able to give up pasta and bread. It's just not going to happen!

You don't have to give it up, just switch over to gluten & wheat-free. For many many people it causes them to bloat. My mom is the perfect example of that. She doesn't eat anything with gluten or wheat because it totally inflates her. She gets the g&w free stuff from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. For pasta, you can use brown rice pasta (it's still good!)

Wow, good for you!! I don't think I could do Atkins. Too much meat for someone like myself who isn't really a meat eater.
Keep it up though, as it's working for ya!!!

UGH, my twins have 3rd grade science fair projects due next week and we haven't even started. I hate projects like this with a passion.

I'm kind of scared to click on that link..........

No, the next size up cut off the bottom. I can give you a really big one for the front page if you want, but this is about the best I can do. Sorry!

A big one for the front page might be nice.

[Zoemakes5]

I agree about the AP rates sounding better!

I kind of like the idea of a Character meal for dinner myself. The precious morning hours can be used for short lines!

Hey that's cool!!!

Thanks!

Yep and yep.



That would be great!

OKay then, official monkey butler you shall remain.



Thanks for that info Cheryl. I appreciate it.

When I do the poll, I can include dinner as an option as well. I'd really be open to either.




We'd love to see some of what your son can do!



I'm curious, why don't you like buffets? We've been to many over the years, and I think of all those only twice have I gotten sick. I've become ill many more times from just eating at a restaurant.
When we go, one trick I have is I always keep wipes and sanitizer in my purse and after each trip up to get food, I make everyone clean their hands before eating. That way you kill any germs you may have picked up from touching the serving spoons that everyone else touched.

Other than that, as long as the buffet is a busy one, with a high turn over in food so it doesn't sit there, and has cough/sneeze guards over the food, it's usually fine. At least the ones out here are.

Okay, I figured out the multi quote, but don't know how to respond right by the quote, so I'll do it this way.
One benefit of eating at Lilo is that you can order off the menu or order the buffet (which I really enjoy!). That way, if people are cutting costs, or don't eat alot, they could order it separately.
I like the idea of eating at dinner, BUT, the problem I have is I was not impressed with Goofy's for dinner (though did like them for breakfast). We could do Ariels for dinner one night, and that way we could have dinner AND eat at Ariels?

As for the tshirts, I don't think there are any hard and fast rules, but what I would look for is it meets the "theme", has a disney character, and has a bit of attitude. I personally also like bright colors. But that is just my thing.

What does everyone think about getting more than one? I like the idea of having one for sure for Friday and Sat. With the Tink maybe being for Thursday?

 

[Zoemakes5]

WHich ones are everyone's favorites and why?

My fav for great food is Lilo and Stitch (it also has good character interaction.)
My second fav is Minnie and Me (good food, decent character interaction.)
I liked Ariels for dinner, though I haven't been since they changed things up.
Goofy's, I liked for breakfast, though I thought the character interaction was poor, the food was really good.
I didn't care for Storytellers, either for the food or character interaction. Though the service was great.

 

[Zoemakes5]

and Stacie said the Planet Hollywood one was good.

I have to agree, the Planet Hollywood meal was very very good. And, I've had alot of them. What sold me, though, was the made to order crepes! Nummy!! And, on one of the vegas discount sites, you can get discount coupons. We got $5 off per person. So not only really good food, but a good deal, too.
