In Search of My Body - Not the One I Ate... Vol. 6: Goddesses just want to have fun

[3DisneyKids]

Purely self appointed... I feel like Gomer chasing Barney... "citizen's arrest! citizen's arrest!"

I'll take it, though!

5.5 mile run done!

Core still to come!

Classic.

Phone sex operator . Didn't even think of that one.

Oh and Steph! Your POOL!!! I'm green.

Phone sex operator. Why oh why didn't I think of that one? I'd so be fired in minutes. I would start arguing or something.

Steph! Lovely pool Steph. Lovely.

We SAW that pool, I think, at Sam's. Both of us were like, they didn't have stuff like that when WE were kids... betcha Em loves it!!




Steph, that pool looks fab. It is likely a fiberglass insert, which from what I have read/heard actually holds up better than a straight concrete pool. We have a stamped concrete patio and it looks great... I bet when you are done it will look like a resort pool!

D would be green with envy too (but not lime), esp at the 9ft deep end. He loves deep pools. If we stay at BCV he spends most of his free time in that deep lazy river.


As to religion, well, I am with the love everyone and don't judge anyone camp. I am garden-variety Protestant (Presbyterian) but haven't been to church, really, since I moved South. I had a great church in Chicago that was very urban and very progressive, though. I really think that a lot of it depends on the specific minister and church.

My wedding was in a Southern Baptist church with the *nicest* wee old minister. I basically picked it base on the exterior and location, as it was a pretty little white church about 5 min from the reception site. He really couldn't have been nicer, marrying an divorced agnostic/atheist and a lapsed Presbyterian, with such grace that D was like, if I went to church I would go to his. His wife helped my mom set up the church, and he came and gave the blessing at the reception. Such a nice man.

I loved reading about your wedding Kat. So interesting.

I'll have you know that I was awakened at 3:53 am. Yep. You read that right. Long story -but the bottom line is, my son was must have been having some kind of weird dream last night and he called me from his cell phone. IN HIS SLEEP.

of course, I didn't really sleep after that.

Wild Nancy. Wild.

Hi Ronda!!!!

Hey Erika !!!! Oh Erika. Do you have AKV reservations?

 

[lisaviolet]

Kelly. When is NYC?

 

[3DisneyKids]

No AKV reservations yet. But I would like to stay there for the Princess Half. Concierge. You know that means free booze, right? Free. Booze. WORD.

 

[lisaviolet]

Morning! Stressful day for me today. Not worth going into detail about, just think good thoughts for me, k?

Done. But done a tad late in the day. to you.

Wouldn't that be nice? OMG. Killing me just to think of it.


Paula! Missy. I should look to see if you have a countdown - but still thinking about your amazing 2.6 - what is your total these days wonder woman?

Hi Lisa... total is 65.6 pounds, but was way off the wagon yesterday so it is probably a bit less now. I don't have a countdown ticker because I don't want to get too hung up on the numbers...

Made it through a killer core workout followed by a cardio workout (6 miles on the upright bike... nothing too strenuous just aiming for consistant speed over the distance right now). I was a little annoyed because this muscle head and his gymnast / fitness model girlfriend started working out next to Jesse and I on the mat. The musclehead was a true @ss and the girlfriend just kept doing back handstands and back flips without any real idea of where she was on the mat. I thought I was going to get kicked in the head on more than a few occassions. Frustrating, but not impossible.

I am slowly fading out and am going to be heading for bed, but...

Erika - did you get that core workout in?

I would be lime green!

oo take pictures to show me

I love the deep end... I love to tread water!

GOOD MORNING


that's all. You can go back to sleep now if you want.

 

[Dizneydawn]

Morning -

Paula - you are a supreme Goddess! Like Diana Ross and all!

Off to finish packing and head out - Dan is off earlier so hopefully before noon! (That is if I can actually have everything done and no suprise glitches!)

Ir rained again this morning and looks like it will be raining here the rest of the day! Yesterday Baylor mowed between the rain showers and it was so cute! Ace followed right behind him - Baylor got to a place he had to stop and turn the mower - Ace sat. Then when Baylor moved on - so did Ace. It was hIlarios to watch because Ace was following s close behind if Baylor stopped short - Ace's ran head first into Baylor's tukkus. It reminded me of those old cartoons when one charachter had the magnifying glass out on the trail and the sidekick kept running into him from behind.

Some of you talk pro sports at times for your fave teams so -

The men's soccer FIFA championship is Sunday - have to watch! Go USA! Sch a huge upset! Who would have thought USA could beat #1 Spain!

K - I will check in later this weekend from the bowels of the mouse city. The only park we might do is Bush Gardens and planning on one day at Typhoon Lagoon. Otherwise just a layed back time with great friends.

From those of you who have been - can someone give me tips on touring the Biltmore Estate? Any other must do's in the area? We will be stopping by on our way home - always wanted to see it and who knows when we will do another drive.

Have a safe weekend everybody!

Oh yeah - Nancy - you are too funny to only bake pies and such - ya need to be on Comedy Central. How about "last comic standing?" I'll work on getting you an agent whilst I am away! (Hi Kelly!)

 

[goofyfan-12]

GOOD MORNING


that's all. You can go back to sleep now if you want.

Would you write a note to my boss giving me permission to go back to sleep??? I think they would buy it, don't you???

I could really use the rest as last night's combined workout totally kicked my bummocks....

It is hot and muggy here and I am hating it. I can deal with heat, but this humidity thing has got to go... like now!

Have a great day everyone!!!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Dawn - cute story picture of Ace and Baylor.

The Biltmore is a definate tour must. It's awesome. I don't have any tips. It's pretty straight forward. Get tickets. Tour. (Or at least it was, there are behind the scenes tours, but they are not for the first timer with one day.) You can tour with out the taped recording, but I don't recommend. You'll have to rent little casettes, but the information is priceless during the tour. Go rent Richy Rich with M. Culkin, many shots were filmed there.

To the workout crazies. I need a butt exercise. Specifically for my butt, where I don't have to move the rest of my body, mostly. Like I have my legg and arm and stomach workouts down. I can work out my arms and my body and leggs aren't doing anything. Same for my leggs. The rest of me is at rest. But this is how lazy I am. I can lift weights if I'm not fully/whole body engaged. At the fully engaged stage I say screw it. So, what kind of lift or move can I target my hiney with? Gracias.

 

[Dizneydawn]

Lyz - thanks for the info - I will for sure rent the cassettes - last night on the travel channel they were talking about swanky FF restaurants- they showed the McD's at the Biltmore! Got me excited to go for sure! Not for the Mc's but for how beautiful everything is even a craptastic FF rest!

K - cooler packed - garbage out - last load of stinky soccer shoes in the wash and I just need to pack some for me and that should be all there is!

All kids bedrooms clean, ours is clean and I am hoping bathrooms/sweeping/vacuuming can be accomplished. I hate coming home to a house in need of a cleaning!

See Ya!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Lyz--squats. Word. And they work legs, too. But seriously, squats and lunges are all that I do as they work glutes as well.

Already ran today. And yes, it is m.u.g.g.y. Leaving in a few hours for camping.

WORD on the squats and lunges... Jesse swears by them both and believe me, they work...

Plus, there are front lunges, back lunges, side lunges, walking lunges, etc so you won't get bored with them. Add weight and you get a whole new set of challenges. Just remember, keep the weight on your heels when squatting and don't rock forward. It took me a while to catch on to that one.

Erika - have a great time on the camping trip!!!!

You got to love true @sses!.

Paula - wow - you should be so proud of yourself. Wow. Really. The consistency is something.

Thirdsies on the squats and lunges.

I don't know why but this made me think of SPUD. Gosh, so many fun rubber ball games.
