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

[Disney Mommy 3]

Lovin' all of ya'lls pictures!!! What cuties!! I don't have very many pictures of my childhood. After my parents divorced, my dad wouldn't give my mom hardly any of her pictures. She is a picture fanatic, so he knew this would really be hard for her,....hence, that's what he did!!! Anyway, I sure am enjoying all of ya'lls!!!!!

Just wanted to say that me and the kids went walking this evening after supper. They did their scooter things and I walked/jogged 2 miles. I can tell I did more jogging than usual---my thighs can feel it!! Oh, I hope I can keep this up!! Well, gotta get busy--we have a book to read and then it's off to bed!! Good night my snow peeps!!

Keep the pictures coming people I'm addicted!! I will try to find some from my parents boxes when I go home for Thanksgiving. Actually I might have a few in my 1 measly photo album! lol I feel ashamed among all you scrapbookers some day when I have a family of my own... well I'll try to scrapbook anyway I'll try to take pictures of my pictures

Thank you for some great great tips I think I'm going to do the cooler and print off all these tips to add to my trusty binder LOL and do it that way. Now to call Disney (again LOL) and cancel the fridge for my room!!

Exactly - that's perfect binder usage! Something you want to remember,and can have with you and don't want to waste time searching the thread for the information!! That's why mine keeps getting fuller, but it's all useful info!

Alright all of you that are jumping on the weight loss train!! Thanks to a great idea..I'm going to start a thread over on the WISH board (the get healthy part of the DIS boards) for us Snowbirds! Trixie gave an idea for a great name called Snowbirds Weight Loss thread. This will give us a place to encourage one another, hold each other accountable, give great workout ideas, and share recipes. Once a day I'll try to post a recipe that I use while losing weight starting with the Mexican Lasagna I made tonight. It will be our place to give each other support and when we really are craving a DP like I am right this second....and I will have you know I just drank one today...that's right just one LOL and just say hey I knew you could do it! It will give us another place to party to celebrate our successes!!

So what do you say are you in?? If so tomorrow morning come join me at the Snowbirds Weight Loss thread which will be located on the WISH board on DIS!!

Don't worry I won't neglect over here..I have enough chit chat for both places but there we can just focus on all of us snowbirds getting healthier together!!!

Howdy Snowbirds! Gosh, I seem to be falling further and further behind! My life is just so busy right now! In a way it's good though - keeps me distracted enough to keep from perpetually ogling my countdown calendar!

I too have lots of pics from my 3 childhood trips - just have to find time to scan them and then upload them onto photobucket! First things first, I will need to have Dh teach me how to use the scanner!

Between my younger daughter using the computer for endless amounts of time today, DH being home sick and my little daycare girl not napping I have had preciuos little time to actually DO ANYTHING today! Didn't even get to finish my laundry today! Oh well, tomorrow is another day!

Well, I am off to make the girl's lunches and then off to my cozy warm bed!

Hope everyone has had a super duper day!

Adios Amigos! Bonne Nuit mes amis! Good night friends!

MegHan- had to make sure it was spelled right for you
I love the childhood pics- that antiquated stroller and the 80's clothes made me laugh. My how times have changed! I'll have to dig out some of my old pics tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for spelling my name right! I LOVE those pictures! My grandfather's socks are the best, I must say.

I think that's a great idea! I don't really have any recipes to share, but I'm a great encourager! It's always a great time to get healthy. I do my fair share of exercise (I dance almost daily), but I'm not the best eater. I'm fairly picky and a junk food junkie as well! I'm looking foward to some healthy recipes!

Hello fellow Snowbirds,

I feel so left out. All my fault, bad me, I let life get in the way, and did not go on the dis for quite some time. I was catching up on the last 25 pages or so of the old thread only to find out there is a new thread. I will have to set aside time to catch up to the new 60+ pages on this thread.

It is amazing on how fast time is going thanks to this thread and how many disers are going in January. It shall be an interesting time. Thank you to everyone and all your interesting posts.

I thought I should jump on and say hello again.

Evening Snowbirds!
Alright, I was inspired to dig through some old albums and scan some Disney pictures from years past! So to start, here are some pictures from 1990!

My first meeting with Minnie, and the love affair began!

Mickey's Birthdayland!

The 18 year old parade float! Can you believe they still use this one? Ofcouse, there are no more Gumi Bears on it!!!! Ahhh, the good old days...

I love the pics! I totally forgot about the Gummi Bears until I saw that pics!

 

[crzyred]

Good evening everyone.

Let's see, I just kind of skimmed over I think about 10 pages of posts, so I have no idea what we are talking about.

I do remember the topic of Wishes. I honestly have a ton of pictures from that. They, at the moment, are on the other computer so at some point when I have a chance (most likely tomorrow morning) I'll post some my pictures from that. I also have pictures from Fantasmic (someone mentioned that I think).

I feel bad, I didn't do anything on the treadmil today. I started feeling really bad at work today. I've got a horrible migraine. I even slept during my lunch break and that didn't help.

I need to be feeling better tomorrow because I'm going to the zoo with a friend and then shopping. I actually don't like shopping. I just go along to make fun of all the stupid looking outfits!

Have a great night everyone!

THANK YOU! What a wonderful idea!!!!
I got out all my weight watchers books and everyday said "today is the day I will start......" about 2 weeks ago! Hopefully we can all be fit and feeling beautiful by our trips!
Nothing like friendly support!

 

[Dancegrl624]

Ok. Here's a few more pictures! (I'm bored, ok)

2nd trip- 1987 (age 5) Me and Winnie

My dad, me and my older sister on Dumbo

3rd trip- 1991 (age 9) My family and my uncle at Sci-Fi (my little sis is in the high chair between my mom and older sis)

Me and my little sis with Minnie and Mickey. I'm pretty sure it's at MGM

That's all I have for now. My mom has pictures from the trip that we won and my trip when I was 15yrs old. I'll have to go over and dig them out!

Thank you so much for sharing!!

I can't take credit for the idea that all goes to Trixie...however it is a great idea and one that I thoroughly embrace and yes weight loss always succeeds better when you are doing it with someone else!!

Here's to us becoming healthier people!!

 

[Dancegrl624]

I'm definately exhausted tonight! Good night everyone! I hope to chat more tomorrow since I don't have to work!

 

[Pinkdiamond816]

Alrighty, my last round of pics for the night. I pulled a bunch more out, but I forgot how long it can be for that stupid scanner to work.......

Ok these are all from '92!

I think this is from the 20th year celebration parade

Remeber the old, death trap rental strollers! One good lighting storm, and bye bye baby. Who ever thought all metal strollers were a good idea?

Last but not least, THE MUPPETS LIVE! I hope we see more Muppets soon now that Disney owns them!

 

[Mickey's Other GF]
