January 2009. . . Calling all Snowbirds ~ Part II !!!

[trixiequilts]

I am off to take DS to preschool. While he's there, I've decided I am going to walk until it's time to pick him back up. I have a PT appointment first and then I'll walk.

I have a WW points book and points calculator that my SIL gave me. I will start that, too. As for what I have been doing for exercise, there is a great gym that I belong to that is for women only. They have classes like RPM (aka spinning), BodyPump, Body Attack, as well as a ton of other things. I can't always get there because my son really dislikes their child care.

I am determined.

I'll check in later with you all!

You go girl! I'm going to enjoy my last lazy-behind day!

That Santa...he usually comes through for everyone, doesn't he?

I'm sure he will!

My Goodness, I decide I'm going to be good and go to the gym before I even look at my laptop and look at all the fun I missed!

I just realized that today is 100 days until my Disney trip! I hit double digits tomorrow!!!!

YAY For You!

And it's my 30th Birthday today!!!

Happy Birthday!

Hey only 86 days until Christmas!!

Wow, that means about 40 days until I have no free time to myself!

I was on this track since I was 13 with a brief desire to go to NYU to study theater. Our church, The Christian and Missionary Alliance, has workers all over the world. I spent time in Gabon and Mali, West Africa as well as Croatia working at a refugee haven while in college. Those trips all confirmed that I was called to live and work overseas. So, we went through many years of training, including ordination for Scot and consecration for me (similar to ordination but I do not carry the title Rev.) We both finished seminary, then we had to work in a US church for 2-5 years. We stayed for 3 before coming here. Scot was also the coordinating Chaplain of all religious services in a maximum security state prison in PA. That was interesting!

That is such a wonderful calling to have! It's people like you and your husband who make the world a better place!

There's music and narration? How do they do that? Can you hear it pretty much throughout the park? Sounds wonderful!

I think the music is my favorite part of wishes! I have the cd and listen to it all the time when I need a Disney fix! You can see it everywhere, but I think it's extra special when you are on Main Street to see it!

I think I have pics I just have to load them onto photobucket....

I guess that settles that..I'll have to switch up a few things but I will go see Spectro and Wishes!

Shelly...hope Santa brings you whatever you would like to have for Christmas!

If any of you are interested in WW recipes I have a lot of their cookbooks and I would be more than happy to email you recipes. I'm going to make a Mexican Lasagana tonight that is to die for!

 

[Pinkdiamond816]

Alright this is the first pic I posted so here's hoping it works!

 

[Pinkdiamond816]

Hmmmm, anyone care to explain resizing images?

Are you using photobucket??

 

[Pinkdiamond816]

Yay I did it!

 

[jenjolt]

Yay I did it!

YAY It's so much fun when you learn how to work these photo programs!!!

 

[Pinkdiamond816]

Are you using photobucket??

Yup, I just played around until I have a new size

Thanks though!

My DH refuses to even go out of the country. So much for going to Italy someday!

Oh, that's too bad! I love to travel! I've been fortunate to travel lots in my still young <cough cough> life! Usually I stay with friends or I'm volunteering my time in different ways. But each trip makes me want to travel more! I've been to France, England, Gabon, Mali, Cameroon, Croatia, Jordan, Switzerland, Canada...got that travel bug!

Italy is a dream of mine. So far, we don't have any friends there! But I'm trying to make some friends!

I'd love to visit all 50 states and camp my way across Europe. We'll see if it happens in this lifetime!

 

[peach3es]

That picture's gorgeous! Oooooh! It makes me all gittery with excitement! I can't wait to see it all in person!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Wishes!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

WOW my Wishes pictures really stink!

Shelly...hope Santa brings you whatever you would like to have for Christmas!

Thanks!

WOW you are very well traveled! I hold out hope I will talk DH into more travel as the kids get older. I am still surprised I got him to go to Florida!!

Wow, what an impressive list! I love to travel too! I was hoping to make another trip to Europe this summer, I really want to move to London eventually, but as I'm watching our economy I think I'd better stick to Epcot! So sad. But I figured I can go to Disney 3 times or Europe once this year!

Shelly, is that your son in the Wishes pic? I love his face, it's sooooo cute! It's a classic "Wow mom" expression! Of course it could be a "Mooooom stop taking pictures" face, but either way it's adorable!

IllumiNations anyone???
