Don't worry. First time you take her purse through security you're back on track.

HiLarIous!!!! Forgot EriKa had to carry her grandma bags. Bwahahahaha.

ERIKA - Have a fabulous time! I would have done the same with my MIL...actually, I wouldn't have printed her a boarding pass at all!

Im off to my BF's tonight for a girly night in - pizza and wine and gossip!
The gym kicked my a$$ yesterday, but I feel great today!

Have a great day everyone!

Kelly - its starting... your conversion to the dark side is moving along nicely.

Work is keeping me busy today so not much to report.

Erika - safe travels my friend.

At first glance I thought her conversion was on the MIL topic. I thought, "nah, she's there!"

A-hem. I have an announcement to make. I am completely caught up at work!!!!!! No copies to make. No calls to return. Audit is totally prepped for and ready to go. I am giddy.

Lisa--I totally followed your post. Should I be scared??

13 hours! Very excited now. The kids are sensing mine and Jeff's excitement. Having a helluva time getting them settled tonight and they don't even know we leave tomorrow!

Ok, so I have a confession to make. I am not Catholic, so I don't go to confession. But this is surely worthy, so here I go...

The MIL drama. I am taking her tomorrow and she will fly down with us. We are flying Southwest, which as you know has open seating. So, at the exact 24 hour mark, I log on to the computer and print our boarding passes. Just mine and the girls. We are in Boarding Group A. Then I waited a couple of hours and called my MIL and asked her if she wanted me to print hers for her. Which of course she did. So she is in Boarding Group B.

Yes, I totally did it intentionally. Yes, I am sure it was a quite rotten thing to do. But in my defense....

She has been saying all week, "Well I can sit with Cammie and you can sit with Kelly..." NO. I want to sit with both of my girls. We have been planning this. Plus, since the plane sits three across, it works perfectly. We don't have to have some stranger sitting there with us. AND my girls are tiny. So their two tiny bodies plus me makes for a very comfortable flight.

Now, I am not saying that MIL has to sit on the back of the plane or anything. She can be right across the aisle. Or right in front or behind us or whatever. But I'll be damned if she is taking one of them away from me for the flight. I have already caved on a lot and I just didn't want to cave on this. And sure, this was totally a passive aggressive move, but my MIL INVENTED passive-aggressive, so I am usually on the receiving end of these types of moves.

.

As for following me - well yes I think you should be very scared!!! Happy for me though - it's lonely in rambling land!!

As for MIL - first Jean would adore what you did. ADORE IT!!!!

Me - I'm a thread party pooper.

I just don't understand why you couldn't just say "No I'm looking forward to sitting with them both but I'll get us all an A pass so that we're all together and we make sure you get directly beside us". Okay - okay I'll shut up. I do realize I'm no fun. And that I might be missing some MIL reaction to that.

But once again - Jean will eat up what you did like it's candy to her! She will love it.

Hope you had a great flight Erika.

Sadly - no... Still working on that one.

Crap. My head said maybe Paula talking in code about a possible match here.

I swear I quoted some other stuff. Don't know where it went though. Operator error perhaps? [/B][/COLOR]

Oh perhaps.

How is the GPS Nancy?

SNOWED here today. (insert string of curse words here). One of my friends posted a picture of her 3 kids and their snowman that they built. Really. Freakin' insane.

What? Just when I was saying I like that area for just a tad better weather.

Weather is something, eh? Last Thanksgiving 75 degrees. This Thanksgiving 45. Both were off of course.

LOL!!! That was the first thing I looked for. Scaredycat.

What did you just call me?

Oh it's on. It's so on.

A-hem. I have an announcement to make. I am completely caught up at work!!!!!! No copies to make. No calls to return. Audit is totally prepped for and ready to go. I am giddy.

I'm giddy for you. Yeah!

Oh and I'm down .6 for the BL. That's a two week weigh-in from when I was away. And you know what I'll effin' take it.

Cutie - cover your ears. I just swore.

 

[lisaviolet]

Jean's home. And Erika - she loved what you did. Of course. She used the words "lovely" "smart" and "da@n right".

She actually said she would have timed it even longer just to be certain.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

How is the GPS Nancy?

actually Emily (that's her name.) and I have been getting along just fine, thank you. Although I *swear* her voice gets increasingly irritated when she has to continuously "recalculate" because I've turned where she doesn't want me to!



Oh it's on. It's so on.

oooohhh. And edit smackdown





Oh and I'm down .6 for the BL. That's a two week weigh-in from when I was away. And you know what I'll effin' take it.

Cutie - cover your ears. I just swore.

Yay for losses! Big, small - any loss is awesome!

 

[lisaviolet]

Yay for losses! Big, small - any loss is awesome!

Oh yes - that's a good and big lesson I learned when I slumped back a bit. I will never ever take my weight loss for granted again. We're all so focused on any "failure" no matter how small and lose the big success picture so easily.

And even focusing on change is success.

And when I was at my lowest - somewhere over 80 pounds down - and about 12 pounds from now I was miserable. MISERABLE. Why was I miserable? Oh because it wasn't good enough. And I wanted much more. And was so focused on where I wasn't. Those days have ended. I will never take my triumphs for granted again. Will I have a slip again? Absolutely. But I will never take success for granted or p!ss on it so to speak.

As for Emily - shoot is that her name? You're not the first to tell me that she gets irritated with recalculation. I swear it's a real relationship. Me - we don't have one. I am Emily.

Enjoying a cocktail poolside. In heaven. And you will be glad to know that I did the right thing and saved mil a seat across the aisle. My sense of ethics kicked in. Better late than never.

To quote Lisa...DVC oh how I love thee!!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Omg...totally hot for Jean right now!!! Lmao

 

[lisaviolet]

Well that must be quite the cocktail.

 

[lisaviolet]

I'm surprised the Southwest police didn't come and get you for that one. In their Bermudas - all on the lookout.

Oh Southwest - how I love thee!

Have fun Erika!!!! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Lisa. I love you for saying this. LOVE IT. It's so in our theme - owning our sh$t and holding up mirrors for each other without judgment. Erika is lucky to have a friend like you. We all are.

Oh yes - that's a good and big lesson I learned when I slumped back a bit. I will never ever take my weight loss for granted again. We're all so focused on any "failure" no matter how small and lose the big success picture so easily.

YES!!!!!! Me, too. Word word word.


Loving you tonight, Lisa!

Hi Lizzy. Miss you.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Anyone up for chat???

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I wish. I'm getting an invoice ready from my kitchen so it's ready at 7am. Cause we all know I ain't getting up at 5:30 to do it!

 

[3DisneyKids]

It's way late, but I wanted to get in a quick post. The travel day went well and I have to say that MIL was as goo as can be expected. It was a "best case scenario" as opposed to a worst. So that is good. Kids are out of their mind happy to be here. And so are Jeff and I. Full day's TR coming for tomorrow!

Hey everybody!

Is anybody else having issues with the DIS? Maybe it's my browser. I try to view a thread and my browser shuts down. I can email and FB all I want, but no DIS.

It's freezing here. I'm jealous of Florida temps right now. Have fun E and fam!

 

[cathie1327]

Hey everyone

Yesterday was.....crazy. Fun. aaaaaaand crazy

We did the costume party for my birthday last night and man, I am tired today. Not so much hung over like I thought I may be, but just tired. Ran around yesterday after work picking up all the supplies and putting everything together, but it was well worth it and we had a lot of fun. I hope to have a few pics for everyone after a few days.

Also.....I have to say something. My best friend's brother came and brought a few friends from college with him. Now I love Carlos and since I have been with him so long, I'm generally oblivious to it when guys hit on me/check me out. Although, as far as I can tell, it happens a lot less than it used to, which I generally attribute to the weight gain. So Chris's friends last night....were checking me out. Majorly. And I loved it. Not like I wanted to go run off with them, or even have Carlos be jealous, I stayed attached to his hip pretty much the whole night, but it really felt nice to be noticed by someone else other than him again. I know I'm pretty in my eyes and Carlos's eyes, but I like knowing that someone else sees it too. More motivation for more weight loss!

Starting the trip report today; I'll post a link on here when I'm through. Hope everyone is having a FANTASTIC day!
