Good Morning everyone I'm starting billing early so I can go to court with DD #1 for a traffic ticket this afternoon. She gets to do the talking I'm just there for support. This is her 1st and hopefully her last at least on our insurance let's all cross our fingers.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

So - anyone have any good April's Fools pranks today? DS16.5 came home today with a detention slip for duct taping a kid at school today. I was not so sure it was a fake at first, because I knew what he had been planning..... ...(yeah, he really did use duct tape for a prank on a teacher today - didn't get caught though! ) Oh to be 16 and invincible again!

No tricks on me.

in my most sourly voice, "go peeps."

I, am a complete idiot. I thought my tix were for tonight... NO! They are for tomorrow! Why did I think today was Apr 2? At least we never left the house, so nothing burned except perhaps my face...

Kat, people usually play April Fools jokes on others, not themselves.

I'm a Big Loser!!

Oh tag fairy, I got one right here.

Ooooh....what is your local station? They likely put their news on the web. We wanna see!

Yeah, I don't think so, Tim.

Ok where is everyone ? Am I the only one not doing the Pineapple experiment .

Don't have anything to add. Just checking in on my loser friends.


Oh yes. I did want to say. 3DK, I asked why you were a vegetarian because...we will be raising 2 hogs again for 4-H this year. They are coming soon. And I didn't want to talk about it or share pictures if that was going to hurt your feelings/morals/sensibilities. KWIM?

I suppose if someone here, totally feels horibble about that, I'd appreciate you letting me know now. I don't want to alienate someone or make them feel bad.

We love our hogs, but at the end, they do get sold to market.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Morning all!

DWD--no worries, you can talk about the poor defenseless hogs that you are gonna raise like babies and then slaughter and murder all you want..... Seriously, no, it won't offend me, but thanks for asking!

Hey, speaking of Tag Fairies....I got a bunch of new ones last night and even a little Princess (Queen?). As always, thanks Tag Fairy! I am so lovin' YOU right now!

I have a bad day ahead and I wake up to find that my e-mail has disappeared! Not the messages in my inbox....the entire freakin' program! Outlook Express is simply gone! WTH??? So now I have to fix that before I can even begin my "real" work....

Hey - good luck with that outlook issue - what a pain in the butt!

OK - off to the gym for the first time in FIVE DAYS. Yes people, you read that right FIVE DAYS! Gonna take that spin class...

Yeah, for some reason I had it my head that yesterday was Apr 2nd. My head may need adjusting.

Post away. Hog slaughter don't bother me none.

 

[born2bird]

This is a huge post! I had lots to catch-up on.

I had my JC appointment last night and wonder of wonders, I stayed the same weight as the week before. I suspect my body went into a bit of a shock from Saturday's events and really didn't want to give up any calories on Sunday and Monday otherwise I should have lost a pound. This week will be better. I am exercising (finally) and eating my JC food all week (as opposed to the 2 - 3 days worth I have been averaging lately). I am excited and getting motivated to take on the next 40 pounds...

Hope you all are having a great day. I am off to start going through all the paper on my desk in the hopes that I can find out what color the desktop actually is. I haven't seen it in so long that I can't remember what it is anymore....

Talk to you later,
Paula

There is nothing wrong with staying the same. I am going to be doing some research on JC to see if it would be a good fit for me and my budget.

Good luck unburying your desk. I have become the master filer and just dump it all in the cabinet and sort through it from there. When can I retire...

As for me: I did 5.1 miles this morning, which was tough, but a great feeling of accomplishment once done. The last 15 minutes I was looking at the time like ever 30 seconds. Today was the Dis Unplugged Podcast, so that usually make my runs a bit easier, but I was just hurting today.

I was supposed to have my meeting with the sports nutritionist today and he just called and canceled. Turns out that in order to get my base metabolic resting rate (or whatever the hell it is called), I can't eat or workout 3 hours prior to the test. Hmmmm....would have been nice if they had told me that when I scheduled the appointment. So now it is for Thursday morning...one more thing in an already over-crowded day. Still, I am excited to see what he gives me for a meal plan. It is a 3-step process....first he figures out my base metabolism, then we have a consultation, then he makes up a meal plan for me. So I figure it will be several days before I even get the plan.

Ok....lots of work to do....have a great day everyone!

YOu really are a natural when it comes to running. 5.1 miles and you have not been running that long. I am super proud of you! I thought of you last night when I was dying on the TM at about 2.8 miles. I can still only do 3.2 and even then it is only because I am seriously pushing myself to finish it. I look like I am about to have a stroke when I am done. My face is always bright red and I am usually sucking air. Attractive, I know...

I'm sort of here. I keep trying to get caught up. I still can't figure out the pinapple juice? where was that 3DK. The district has been investigating the Principal situation and still I am on unpaid leave. Don't want to say to much and the attorney is $400.00 an hour. District stop paying for insurance and cancelled my options. I am still trying to pay out of pocket for those. I got on the scale and I've gained 3 pounds since Friday am. We are off to visit cousins. I'll check in.
E- I'll look over all the running info they have.

I was wondering how you are doing. I hope this is over for you soon and you can get back to some sense of normalcy. Stay strong
I hope you enjoy your visit with your cousin.

I LOVE cleaning my bathroom. I keep windex wipes right under my counter in my bathroom and wipe it down couple times per day. MMMMMM. Likes a shiny faucet.

OK - today I got to be recorded for a tv segment on the H & G Show. I tried to stand in a fat eliminating pose. I'll let you know.

OCD, much? weirdo..

So, are your fellow boarder babes going to be privy to your TV appearance?

I'm here, reading...

I have ennui...a fancy way to say that I am BLAH to the nth degree. I hate the rain. I hate the gray days. I have a cold, I swear it's the same one I've had for like a month on and off. My head hurts, I don't want to go outside in the rain, I don't want to cook dinner, I don't want to do anything except lie in bed with the sheets over my head. Which is so not an option.

I am forcing myself to work tomorrow - projects I have to finish up. I don't FEEL like it. Argh. My skin looks awful - I need a really good facial. There are several light bulbs out in my house so it's not even bright in here. I am even bored by my whining.

I have some parts of my online life I need to cut loose - and that sort of sucks. I want more time for what I care about, namely this thread and my blog. So I kind of have to say goodbye to some parts.

Um, what else? I weigh in tomorrow - I am happy about that. And we are going out tonight to buy a boatload of light bulbs. So I can SEE! And maybe I'll get out of making dinner. A girl can dream.

Whine over!

AHHH, Liz, I am sorry you have the blahs. Maybe being able to see inside your house will make you feel better... I am glad you are not dumping us.

In case you didn't get to your PM's yet, THANK YOU for the postcard for my boys. Ian took his with him to daycare yesterday to show his teachers. I just remembered that you will be in WDW while we are there so if you would like, I can send Emily one from our trip to the beach this June.

I was... 174.8 this morning. Scary. Hope it sticks for Friday. I am wearing a pair of size 14 jeans that are actually a bit loose, that no way in freakin crap that I could have squeezed into a few months ago, so that is good too.

Crossing my fingers that I can stay strong at the game tonight. D is picking up subway on his way home and I have three light beers each cooling in the fridge, and I am going to try and stick to that. I only had 200 cals at lunch (wrap and a salad) to allow for wiggle room.

WTG Kat!! You must feel great! Nothing like going down a pant size to make a girl all giddy.

Subway is what is on my menu for lunch today. I love it and it is right around the corner from our building. AND, since I get the veggie sub it is under $3. Can't beat that. I wish I liked beer but I really do not like the taste. I can handle it if I am already toasted but I pretty much lose my ability to taste anything when I am in that state. Not to mention my abilities to see and walk, and talk, well basicly function period. I am a pathetic drunk.

Ok I had a pretty good day still fighting my urge to drink a pop, but that will go away soon, I hope. DS had his pre-op physical today, past with flying colors. He then took off for school until Friday morning, his surgery is at 2:00 pm that day, I'll have to remind him nothing to eat or drink after midnight on thrusday. I know still doing the mom thing even though he is 20, I just can't help it. .

I think we are all done with our snow here in MN. Even though I make money off it, I am glad it is over. I love spring & summer, well summer more cause it's not so muddy and dull looking actually I like fall the best nice & cool, but not to cold. what I am trying to say I am glad winter is finally over.

Food choices today were good and I have been drinking tons of water. I am hoping for a good lose on Friday.

I am glad you DS is doing Ok all things considered. He must be in a lot of pain. Poor kid! I am 36 and my mom still mothers me. I don't think moms can help themselves. I know I won't be able to.

Snow done in MN...does that ever happen? Here's to warmer weather.

So - anyone have any good April's Fools pranks today? DS16.5 came home today with a detention slip for duct taping a kid at school today. I was not so sure it was a fake at first, because I knew what he had been planning..... ...(yeah, he really did use duct tape for a prank on a teacher today - didn't get caught though! ) Oh to be 16 and invincible again!

Some background...my dad is a huge Orioles baseball fan. He is a season ticket holder and loves his team. That being said they s#&k!! Alot! Well opening day for them was Monday and of course they lost. MY DH created some very realistic Orioles letterhead and an envelope and sent my dad the following letter...
April 1, 2008

Michael XXXXXX
1009 XXXXX Drive
XXXXX, MD XXXX


Mr. XXXX, after reviewing our files, we have determined that you have been a season ticket holder for several years. The Baltimore Orioles’ organization is very appreciative to those fans that consistently support our team and the Oriole family. However, we have also noticed that with every gane you have attended, our team has lost. The Baltimore Orioles organization is now requesting that you no longer attend any of the future Oriole games for which you have tickets. We are not prepared to offer you a refund for any of the tickets that you have, so we suggest that you give them away or sell them to someone that can bring a little more luck to the team.

Thank you very much for your support and understanding.


Regards,



Baltimore Orioles
Public Relations Representative

Hey, speaking of Tag Fairies....I got a bunch of new ones last night and even a little Princess (Queen?). As always, thanks Tag Fairy! I am so lovin' YOU right now!

I have a bad day ahead and I wake up to find that my e-mail has disappeared! Not the messages in my inbox....the entire freakin' program! Outlook Express is simply gone! WTH??? So now I have to fix that before I can even begin my "real" work....

LUCKY!! I got nothin'...

What is up with your Outlook? I didn't know such a thing could happen. I hope you can figure out how to fix it. I would be lost. Good luck with that mess.

:Oh yes. I did want to say. 3DK, I asked why you were a vegetarian because...we will be raising 2 hogs again for 4-H this year. They are coming soon. And I didn't want to talk about it or share pictures if that was going to hurt your feelings/morals/sensibilities. KWIM?

We love our hogs, but at the end, they do get sold to market.

I am one of those vegetarians too. I am cool with pics and stories as long as there aren't any gory details about the market. I became vegetarian for ethical reasons but am by no means a fanatical about it. I am the only one in my family (immediate and extended) that does not eat meat of any kind (fish and poultry included) so I am quite used to looking the other way. No worries but thanks for asking


Dawn, I am so sorry the Giant Turd is being, well, a GIANT TURD!! I agree and tink that he is realizing what he is losing. Too little too late!! Hang in there sweetie!

Hi Everyone...

I am doing a bit of a driveby posting since things are utterly crazy here today.... I hope you all are doing well today and Kat - today is the 2nd... do you have a hockey game tonight???

I am in for the challenge with the Peeps board folks for April...

Talk to you all soon,
Paula

 

[3DisneyKids]

LOVE the tiara! Does that mean we now have to bow to your greatness Oh queen of the kickin' workout!

Yes, that is exactly what it means! Even the Tag Fairy has now recognized my goddess status!

Hey - good luck with that outlook issue - what a pain in the butt!

I am happy to report that it was an EASY fix! I had no idea where to begin or what to do, but I am using Vista in this machine and it has a "automatic repair" center, so I clicked on that in within two minutes I was back up and running! Ok, more like 10 minutes, but still! Phew!

OK - off to the gym for the first time in FIVE DAYS. Yes people, you read that right FIVE DAYS! Gonna take that spin class...

Ooooh....I so do not envy you....it is gonna huuurrrttt!

There is nothing wrong with staying the same. I am going to be doing some research on JC to see if it would be a good fit for me and my budget.

Kim--once I get my meal plan from the nutritionist, I will be happy to share it with you. We are close to the same size (right?) and both vegetarians, so maybe it will work for you as well.


YOu really are a natural when it comes to running. 5.1 miles and you have not been running that long. I am super proud of you!

Thanks! The DISers onthe c25k thread all say the same thing. They are just now getting to week 9 (we all started at the same time) and I am already at 55 minutes. Who knew?


OCD, much? weirdo..

Yeah, no kidding. Stop throwing crap....you are crazy-cleaning-ocd-pig-slaughtering-girl!


Snow done in MN...does that ever happen? Here's to warmer weather.


We still have 2 feet in my yard! UGH! But out the beach it is gone!



LUCKY!! I got nothin'...

That is because you are not the goddess....

While the ethical and animal rights reasons were not WHY I became a vegetarian, they have become more important to me the longer I have been a veg and the more I know. We do, however, eat fish. We didn't used to, but we live in a fishing community. And in terms of ethics, we feel that it is important to support our friends and neighbors who work in this very difficult and unfair business. We have several friends who are in commercial fishing and lobstering, so it is seen (in this area) as a slap in the face to purpose avoid eating fish.

I know all about crazy these days....

In 27 hours, things will slow down a bit for me, though, so that is something. Still, April will be crazy through the 25th.

YEAH, YEAH!! Go ahead, make fun of the stupid one!

I am actually not going to the one tonight, I have a meeting in Wilson (about 45 min east of here) at 3PM and there is no way I can make it back. Mr Kat is going with a friend.

 

[3DisneyKids]

NO GOOD hope it is something simple.

Jodi--the tag fairy is someone on the DIS staff who goes around and puts the funny little quotes and/or pics under your screen name. The ones in color. If you say something funny (or especially if you say something embarrassing) the Tag Fairy will come in and magically place that phrase under your name.

It is definitely something the people get CRAZY about here on the DIS. I like two of mine...but the one about DHs computer is actually from several months ago (although I just got it today) and is not really funny or anything. I will have to lobby the TF to replace that with something a bit better. "Fan of Pineapple Juice" might be appropriate!

The good news:

We have light bulbs!

The sun is shining!

I am down to 188.4lbs! (WW today)

One of my WW friends told me that I keep her coming to the meetings. I was so touched! All I do is say hi and sit next to her and pat myself on the back for my losses - I raise my hand every time I lose weight and tell how much I lost. Yes, I am that annoying woman who constantly tells the group she lost weight. Guilty as charged!

Kim, I am so glad your boys like the postcard! Emily would love one when you go - hey, aren't we all meeting up? Whee!!! I would start packing now, for December, but even I know that's insane. I mean, none of my clothes from now will fit me then!

Also, I love the letter to your dad. That's something my husband's family would do. They send sympathy cards to every guy who marries into the family. As for the women who marry in, they just laugh at us, but only after we walk down the aisle do they call us suckers! Aren't they sweet?

Jodi, I am so impressed you are giving up diet soda! Go you!

DWD Liz, bring on the cute piggies that die for my bacon. Mmmm, unexplained bacon! (Simpsons reference - we use it a lot in Chez Sept.)

Hey, if the Tag Fairy wants to give me a Tag, I'll take whatever I can get - Big Loser included!

I'd started to doubt the mythic Tag Fairy, but now I believe! Should we all clap our hands, like for Tinkerbell?


Having dinner tonight with the inlaws. Wait, make that cocktails, then dinner, and add in Emily and subtract Nick, so that makes it me, alone with the two of them, and my toddler who will probably not be on her best behavior. I will not stress eat, I will not stress eat...

Sorry, the sunshine makes me punchy! LIGHT! Who knew it could be so good?

Glad you got your humor back! We missed you when you were off being grumpy and pouty!

And as for an evening with the inlaws...um....gross. Drink heavily. Forget food points. Just drink your points tonight, it is the only way to get through it.
