In search of my body...not the one I ate! Part Deux... We sit at the popular table!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Steph- the ricotta is SO easy! It's just goat milk, vinegar, butter & baking soda....simple! Then into stuffed shells, lasagna, etc.
Going to make it right away ... OH WAIT YOU NEEDS A GOAT!! DOn't have those here anymore .. we used to about 15 years ago, had a goat milking parlor even!
'K. Tonight I'm working on the labels for my soap....yup. Goat's milk soap...not quite as easy (or tasty! ) as the cheese - but oh so wonderful for your skin!!

I think I may be needing a sample HINT HINT!!!

Ya guys better laugh....

Kat - since you wrote this...I was trying to figure out what Gustav was code for...(someone else mentioned they were getting Tom to visit next week) ...and I figured that it was a new Southern term for TOM...

Then heading home...caught the news...

And guess what..Gustav is a hurricane...who knew???

Bet TOM was happy he was not getting outdated by a new fangled Gustav....

What Exactly would Gustav stand for?

..... Ok don't feel bad I had to think for a second when she mentioned this last night to me I quickly went to the weather.com and I was like AAAAHHHHH I get it!!

Well I really lurked like an insane woman in the very beginning. Wanting to join you all but not knowing what to do about BL. And then when I realized I need some kind of support I thought hmmm what about that great thread. But it's obvious how close you all are. So I hesitated for a bit.

We are at the Popular table aren't we!!!!

Maybe, just maybe, TOM won't be happy for long.

Good morning popular girls!

Newbie is going to go workout. I feel very inspired. Thank you.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Deb, where are you? It's been more than a couple days since I got a biking/vending machine update. Are you still trouble shooting out west or home for good in Miami. "Un benito ami ami." (Bet you don't get that much. I'm a dork, I know it.)

And did i hear goat cheese ricotta? For some reason i have an irrational fear of any cheese not derived from cow milk. It's completely ridiculous, i'm aware, however i spook easily......

I don't enjoy ricotta much. The texture is really nasty. Like cottege cheese, which totally grosses me out. I like my food unspoiled. Now, I do eat ricotta, when it's mixed with like 8 other cheeses, so the ricotta to "other" cheese ratio is small.

Nancy, I'm not slamming your homemade goat cheese ricotta, I'm just sayin' don't send any samples my way, K?

Well I really lurked like an insane woman in the very beginning. Wanting to join you all but not knowing what to do about BL. And then when I realized I need some kind of support I thought hmmm what about that great thread. But it's obvious how close you all are. So I hesitated for a bit.

Hmmm...wonder if anyone else out there is hesisitating. I just don't imagine others reading. Glad you joined in.

Thank God I learned to multi quote this year!!!!!

You've been here since 2002! And you just learned to multiquote! (I'm not totally making fun of you, just a little bit.)

Newbie (like it) what's on the workout agenda?

 

[3DisneyKids]

This may be a record for me! It is already past noon.

Well, I was supposed to do my long run today (12-ish miles) but that takes a long time (over 2 hours just in running, plus stretching cool down, etc.) so I need like almost 3 hours and my parents weren't available to watch the kids, so no long run for me today. And now I am going away for several days, so... it looks like it might be TUESDAY before I get one in. (That would be the first day of school.)

I did, however, make it to the gym for a quick work-out. 45 minutes on the elliptical (level 9) and 15 minutes of core. Better than nothing.

Yes, we are super close here, but I certainly hate the thought of that putting anyone off. If there are any other lurkers out there, please JOIN IN. If want to lose weight and have support doing it, this is the place!

WhooHoo - I finally got back on the dreadmill! Ok, gotta go shower.

You are rockin' it, girlfriend!

Ok, off to pack for the week-end...AGAIN! I swear, I almost don't want to go to Disney in a few weeks since we have been traveling so much. I said almost. I'm not crazy. Not completely anyway.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Argh!!!! Work is totally kicking my butt today.... It seems like most of the people I work with lately are nothing but a bunch of whiners...

Too busy to say too much today other than it is a good day food wise at least....

I'll catch up with everyone later,
Paula

Back yesterday from another visit to Tucson. Having a bit of a pity party right now. I gained 3 lbs in 3 days while I was out there. On top of the 2 lbs that keep cycling on and off. Now, part of that's real - I end up eating wrong at all the wrong times. And part of it's not - I do a camel impersonation when I'm in Tucson. (Drink tons of water and keep it!)

This morning I slept in after a horrendus allergy day yesterday; it was still dark at 6:30. Too dark to ride my bike. Maybe I need to suck it up and try to become a runner? I can run in the dark more safely than ride my bike.

We leave for WDW in 6 days, 23 hours, 15 minutes. I decided this morning that I'm going to watch what I eat this week then see what I can do about exercise. Since Kaitlyn's back to school her bedtime is now before dark, so I need to go out and ride in the evenings and just deal with humidity, bugs, dogs, and people in my way. (Ducks are not out in the evenings!) I'm just completely off track right now - and upset because the skirt I knew I was going to fit into for this trip isn't wearable.

Still looking for that rope to get back on the wagon -

Looks like we're dodging Gustav (the Hurricane, not the new TOM acronym!) but Hanna (the tropical storm) may come and dampen us in The World.

Lurking is sorta like voyerism...if your gonna watch...might as well do...and aren't you glad you did? Look at all these wonderful new friends that are bossy and tell ya to get off your keister and get moving...

oh...wait a sec...ya might wanna get back in the closet after all!

Seriously...there is only one lurker we are not thrilled about and they know who they are...

The rest of the lurkers are wonderfull people who are just a bit ascaredy kittyish...and they need to know that they are warmly received and wanted...there are power in numbers...so please come by the masses....

Maybe, just maybe, TOM won't be happy for long.

GUSTAV - Gonna Use Stinkin' TOM's Acronym Victoriously

Aaah Gustav good try! Not quite there yet...

Love it...we are all over the country so how many women will it take to start a new slang term for Aunt Flo...Tom...etc...I mean...it all had to start somewhere...it could have been Aunt River..or Uncle Creek...how bout...Cousin Bledsoe....

We the Body Board Babes need to start a rally cry....
Gustav must Go.....Gustav Must Go....

We could get t-shirts..bumper stickers...yard signs...

Hope you lose the water and ditch Hanna...I hear she's a bi@ch so tell her the party is by invite only...

Deb, I think we overlap? We are there Aug 30-Sept 7th. Where are you staying?

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

ascaredy kittyish, cousin bledsoe

On Fire! You are.

edited to add: (in my best whiney voice) I wanna go to DisneyWorld!

Kat, did they spring ya early?

 

[3DisneyKids]

KAT--I called MS today and confirmed/double-checked everything for you. All set.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

And did i hear goat cheese ricotta? For some reason i have an irrational fear of any cheese not derived from cow milk. It's completely ridiculous, i'm aware, however i spook easily......

A fear of cheese? Sorry, that's just funny.

I think I may be needing a sample HINT HINT!!!

It could be arranged, you know!




We are at the Popular table aren't we!!!!

Why, yes, I believe we ARE

I don't enjoy ricotta much. The texture is really nasty. Like cottege cheese, which totally grosses me out. I like my food unspoiled. Now, I do eat ricotta, when it's mixed with like 8 other cheeses, so the ricotta to "other" cheese ratio is small.

Nancy, I'm not slamming your homemade goat cheese ricotta, I'm just sayin' don't send any samples my way, K?

Yeah, I understand the texture thing. I have that with bananas. There is a very small window of ripeness in which I can actually eat a banana....




You've been here since 2002! And you just learned to multiquote! (I'm not totally making fun of you, just a little bit.)

Don't feel bad. It took several people giving me step by step instructions before I figured out the whole "multi-quote" thing. Now...if I could just figure out the PICTURES

We leave for WDW in 6 days, 23 hours, 15 minutes.

But who's counting?

Still looking for that rope to get back on the wagon -

Grab on Deb - we'll pull you up!!

I spent the day on a college visit...more on that in a little bit...

Deb

Come on Deb! I will pull you back up on the wagon! Don't give up just because your trip is in a few days. Keep going strong right up until it is time to leave. Then you will feel better about yourself while you are there.

I spent the day on a college visit...more on that in a little bit...

Like now? Where? What didn't you like?

 

[3DisneyKids]

I have had a good day for the most part. Food--right on track at 1200 cals. Got my work-out in even though I didn't get to do my long run. And Karen only called twice. A good friend of hers is also going through a break-up and moved out of her house (no kids) and is staying with Karen until she figures out her next move. AWESOME. Now Karen has someone there full time with whom she can commiserate.

So, we are all packed, the car is loaded and we leave at 7am. UGH! The kids and I are never up at 6, so it is going to be a major challenge. And since I am pretty unmotivated to go, well, let's just say it could get ugly in the morning. At least it looks like great weather.

I will be completely offline on Friday and Saturday, but I will be able to check in on Sunday night.

Ok, off to do some trip planning so that I can make ADRs from the car tomorrow.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Have Fun EriKa!

 

[HockeyKat]

KAT--I called MS today and confirmed/double-checked everything for you. All set.

THANKS!!! You are the best.

So, we are mostly packed, everything has been tied off on at work. I am going in tomorrow morning to turn in the laptop, have lunch with some folks, and then I should leave around 1.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Bye gang! I will check in on Sunday night.

 

[lisaviolet]

You've been here since 2002! And you just learned to multiquote! (I'm not totally making fun of you, just a little bit.)

It is pretty funny. I'm laughing right now trying to decide if I should share with you how I used to attempt to manually multi quote. I'm sure one can imagine such an intelligent feat.

I didn't know how to subscribe to a thread until last year. Here's a better one - I didn't even know it existed. I was running a DIS book club and pissed some DISers off when I opened a new link because "I couldn't find the other one".



Newbie (like it) what's on the workout agenda?

Today was a short Turbo Jam. I"m getting back to a six day plan because of you guys. Six on, two off. I was shaking my head today thinking thank goodness I kept the exercise going for the most part since the BL. I hate to think of the damage without it.

Forget that. I need to focus on today.

Everyone is probably sleeping. I just finished teaching summer school last week so my clock has been totally off this week. It's like a big, long slumber party.

And a few of you mentioned not wanting lurkers to be afraid to join such a tight group. It went both ways for me. Afraid to jump in because you are so close. But knowing what a lovely place to jump since you are all so hysterical and caring with each other.

Hysterical in the funny sense!!!!!
