In Search of My Body - Not the One I Ate, VOL 7! Princesses? Nope, just us Goddesses!

[goofyfan-12]

Get this. Not a half hour ago I paid for a raffle ticket for a Zhu Zhu! Lol.

Chunk will be Canadian. He'll probably go "nkt nkt nkt, eh"

OMG - I just spewed at the 'eh' comment.

Lisa gets the big goddess crown for finding the elusive Zhu Zhu's. She is cool that one.

Lisa - totall goddes!!!!

 

[Ronda93]

Lisa - awesome work! Giva a Canuck a mission and stand back!

Paula - bask in the glow.

I am off work a little early today. For sport I went to the grocery store looking for canned pumpkin. My goals are not zhu-zhulike. We are seeing a play tonight and sleeping in tomorrow. A meal with friends and a long weekend together. No travel. wheee!

I need a nap.

Get this. Not a half hour ago I paid for a raffle ticket for a Zhu Zhu! Lol.

Chunk will be Canadian. He'll probably go "nkt nkt nkt, eh"

I know, eh? Let me feed them some beer and see how they talk then!!! Maybe I should put a toque on him. I've already pressed their noses a dozen times!!! Sorry but it's train and then car ride. I must entertain myself.

Lord knows I wanted to take him out of the box. I was talking to him earlier. Like "gosh darn it Chunk - no flash you're a dark mess - flash you're an albino Zhu Zhu"

Okay story. First of all I can't even tell you the level of joy and satisfaction I had to find both of them. I am competitive. I walked out like "no one knows what I have in this bag." "Do wanna see?" So Paula - I do feel like a goddess.

It was a store that it is a small independent old time toy store downtown. All the chains looked at me the best perplexed but usually like I was a tad off.

So I've been there a couple of times and phoned too. Almost had a fight the first time but won't bore you. YOu know when third person gets involved and thinks they know what's going on. Hate that.

Yesterday I went at opening for one of my checks. She said, "no but maybe shipment has come in and we don't know it". Okay then.

So I phoned later in the day before the Raptors game. Nope. But I had this weird feeling. Like someone was saying something at the end of the call. Like they really were there. Not like they were lying - just a mistake. Just a feeling. But I had to go the game.

So this morning - no work and I'm still downtown (Toronto I mean) and I think I'll phone before I catch my train. And she says yes. WHAT??????. It's only been hours since I phoned. I ask how many and she says six.

So I say - since it's a small customer driven store not a chain - I'm downtown already can you just hold two for a short time. NOPE she says.

So I throw my things in a bag. Go into panic mode. I'm actually saying, "Lisa deep breath. It's okay. What will be will be. Calm down"

Run for the streetcar. Miss a friggin streetcar. Stomach drops. Start walking to the subway and think shoot am I going to make it to my beloved Zhu Zhus in time? I spot another streetcar. Hallelujah. Run to the subway. Run up the stairs at Queen station. I'm sweating at this point. It's mild and I have a winter jacket on - fifties. And I just put moisturizer on not thinking I'm in for a Zhu Zhu run.

I'm coming my Zhu Zhus. I'm coming.

I get to the store and don't see any behind the counter. That's where they always turn when they say "all out". Stomach drops.

And I ask with great excitement and intense fear.

She grabs the keys. Keys? Zhus Zhus are captive here. Locked up. Rumour is they drink too much beer.

And no more six. Two. TWO - did you hear me? TWO. Thank the Lord. And thank the person/people for not taking all.

And I take em. MINE. They are mine. No groin hits. Nothing.

So PM the addresses please and thank you. I refuse to send hem regular mail. My brother endlessly blasts US postal. Regularly meaning when we sent our presents to them. However, I have to figure out Fed EX here in town. At my downtown place I had numerous courier options in walking distance. Oh boy!

So much joy finding them. So much. No accessories. Sorry.

 

[lisaviolet]

This is how I amused myself waiting for the store to open one day for Zhu Zhu. Beautiful tree. All crystals. Picture can't give it justice.

And the boy. I feel like a piece of crap for thinking he's hot. Really sh!tty. But he's hot. And I've been mesmirized by this Nike store picture for weeks. Once again picture can't give the actual display justice.

Isn't that weird that you had a feeling!

What does Jean say?

 

[3DisneyKids]

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! LISA! I can't believe it! You did it! HOMG!

So much to comment on but am getting the kids ready for bed. Will be back in a bit. And will get you my address. And then will send you $ via PayPal so you have it immediately.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Been in the kitchen all day.

I was going to make some kind of snappy commment here. But frankly, I'm just too freakin' tired.


Congrats on your loss! That's a-mazing!

Hello my name is Chunk. Yes, that is my name and I don't want to hear any cracks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap! Canadian rodents! Do they need immigration papers?

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Oh Oh Oh - I have a paypal account too! Lisa I can send you money thata way or mail you cash.

I am baking.

Chocolate brownies with peanut butter morsels.

Pumpkin roll

and

invididual pumpkin cheesecakes.

Well, honestly, Molli is doing most of the work cause she's grounded from everything else due to a "d" in Social Studies. She just did a report and knows "KNOWS" it will bring her grade up! Too bad for her, her teacher hasn't updated her grade yet so it's going to be a lllloooonnnngggg Thanksgiving break. She keeps trying to deal with me, and I say, you should keep the grade up from the start.

Good for you - you both have Paypal accounts. Such intriguing stories. You're boring me.

Do you know the currency? It's a brown colour - delicate ridges with creamy PB inside. Oh wait. Oh no I just took in what I read - PB brownies. OMG.

Don't make me use the "R" nickname ScErika!!!! ScErika. Perfect. Hey what is it anyway? Do we ever get to know? Only your insiders. Totally unfair.

Silly girls. Money talk. No money necessary. Funny little Americans. All the turkey has gone to your head already. Hey Erika - what do you have? And forgot - so lovely about your professor award. So lovely.

Holy crap! Canadian rodents! Do they need immigration papers?

I don't know. Maybe I should ask Mr. Buble. One of his "girlfriends" meaning girlfriend once affair choice next called him a LOVE RAT in one of the rags right after I posted my suspicions about him here. LOVE RAT. And he has such a twinkle.

Lyz - PM me a phone number to list at Fed EX once I figure it all out town wise. They always chatise me when I send without numbers at Fed Ex.

I so hate that I just can't walk myself over to a FED EX office. What the heck do I do at a drop off box? Hate it. I was downtown for two days and felt so free. So energized. The crowds. The people. THE BUILDINGS. Heaven. Yes whining. One day.

Lisa, I had a feeling you were gonna be trouble with the money.

So you were waltzing around the big city on a rodent hunt/basket ball game (? I don't know what sport you were watching) and feeling lovely in your element. Did you spend the night in a hotel? Was Jean with you or were you by yourself?

Hey guys When was Kelly going home?

 

[lisaviolet]

So you were waltzing around the big city on a rodent hunt/basket ball game (? I don't know what sport you were watching) and feeling lovely in your element. Did you spend the night in a hotel? Was Jean with you or were you by yourself?

Yeah get this $12.50 nosebleeds which actually are fantastic. Yes bball. And yes hotel. Harbourfront. Radisson. Oh the pillows. Ready? Downtown. Fifty something on Priceline's Name Your Own Price. Yessiree! Can't get a pair of mukluks for that price.

And you could hear the rails of the streetcar grind outside. LOVELY. NO really lovely. It was like the city was singing just to me. And we walked to the ACC Air Canada Centre. Heaven. I could walk there and always did from home (condo). My old neighbourhood is insane. Prices are going nuts. LIke one bedrooms are hard to get under three now.

Hard week. Can't say much. But have spent most of the week convinced by second mammogram requests -third viewings - mammograms to doctors in record speed - calls for her to come in. Thought my mom probably had breast cancer. She probably doesn't (yes, weird statement but I will explain). But I dropped nonetheless. I could be strong for cancer but could not deal with her not being rational enough to make important decisions. Mama had times like that. Like I mourn that important personal decisions just can't be held anymore. I simply can't watch that. Strange strange story I know but I can't say much more for a week and a half. Sounds like drama but things are strange. Don't even try to decipher. I've wanted to vent here but just couldn't. My mom - she's fine with it all to me anyway to my dad another story - dementia or Alzheimer's is kind of like that first drink - mellows you somewhat. And fires you up in so many other ways. So interesting.

Anyway Zhu Zhu was fun, rewarding and a very lovely distraction. Quite fulfilling. I feel like I should tuck them in. Yes I'm a tad crazy.

Just watched The City. Yes, I know. Anyone watch it? I adore Kelly Cutrone. And Olivia - how can anyone be that pretty?

 

[lisaviolet]

And yes with Jean.

ugh. That stinks. For everyone involved really. But - I'm with you. if she had given 100% effort and earned a "D", well, she did the best she could. But if you aren't seeing the effort a "D is not acceptable. Hopefully she'll get the message

Don't make me use the "R" nickname ScErika!!!! ScErika. Perfect.

ScErika. Love it Lisa.

Hard week. Can't say much. But have spent most of the week convinced by second mammogram requests -third viewings - mammograms to doctors in record speed - calls for her to come in. Thought my mom probably had breast cancer. She probably doesn't (yes, weird statement but I will explain).

oh no Lisa. Hope everything turns out ok. Keep us posted.



Bet you can't guess what I'm doing right now? yep. Baking my own pies. 'Cause clearly I haven't done enough of them this week. 1 apple, 1 carmel-apple. Then it's off for a run before going to my parents. Have a super day everyone!

 

[Ronda93]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
DGF and I are headed out for a run. I will be baking this morning and then it's off to friends' this afternoon.

Whee!

Ronda

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Oh, my girlfriends. I've missed you so much. And I am so thankful for all of you today. The Zhu Zhu hunt has me in tears, it's so funny, all the stories, but also so wonderful because you are doing this for each other. True friends.

Love to you all today!!!!


And congrats to E and Paula and who else lost? Anyone I missed? And E on the award, but we talked...hmm. Oh! 3.4 down this week! I weigh in again on Monday. We shall see. Tracking like a fiend. Hosting first Thanksgiving, so gotta go groove to "Party in the USA" and clean.

Nancy, pics of Seth??? Ronda, your comments had me in stitches. Lyz, so glad you got a Zhu Zhu, and Lisa, you get a tiara for that accomplishment!!!!

xoxo!!!!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Im thankful for wonderful family, friends, this thread and peanut butter cookies.

Im so tired! Florida was fabulous, weather was amazing, the parks were amazing the food was amazing!

I will be back later to tell you all about it, but I can't keep my eyes open! the jetlag is making me crazy - im catching up on the tv Ive missed and I cried whilst watching NCIS (it wasn't a sad episode!), then my friend text to say she'd bought us tickets to see New Moon on Friday because I had to give my ticket up last week, and that made me cry too!

Erika - Laughed my bummocks off at your sexcapade story, sorry! Congratulations on your award, you rock!

Paula - So great about your gift card, are you looking forward to spending it!

LisaV - You are the Zhu Zhu Queen!

Everyone - Hi

Maybe I should ask Mr. Buble. One of his "girlfriends" meaning girlfriend once affair choice next called him a LOVE RAT in one of the rags right after I posted my suspicions about him here. LOVE RAT. And he has such a twinkle.

Lisa, I will not have this kind of talk about Mr Buble, I will not!

Oh, just so you know, I know love Peanut Butter Cookies, and Peanut Butter Cups.

Catch up later!

 

[adsrtw]

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving! I stole a few moments with my aunt's computer to pop in and say 'Hi!'. I hope everybody has a fun and safe Turkey Day. For those of us brave enough to shop tomorrow ~ GOOD LUCK!!!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Kelly! Welcome home! I expect a full report.

Happy Thanksgiving All! Today I'm so Thankful. For my girls, my family, my friends, work, distractions. Truly I could keep going.

Lisa, not sure about your mom's details. Keep us posted - good and bad.

Liz - great job on the loss.

Off to make green bean casserole.

 

[adsrtw]

Do not come home with one today or keep looking. Chunk is non-refundable.

Do not I will lose it. Don't even ask I guess Chunk is that special

Update on my Zhu Zhu find and competitive spirit later.

Let's all exhale. I know I need to. I was on a mission. They are found and bought!!!!! Yeah for Christmas for Maddi and Kelly!!!

OMG Lisa!!! You are an animal!!! I am so excited for Maddi & Kelly.


Gotta go gang! This is my one day to really eat what I want. Dressing, oh how I love thee. Have fun with your traditions!

 

[Ronda93]

Kelly - can't wait to hear all about your trip.

Below is the Thanksgiving kickoff! Pie crust scraps with cinnamon and sugar. Let the feast begin!
