Just the two of us- WDW May 09 countdown on! **UPDATE Trying to change plans AGAIN!**

[kgle]

Well he is okay with it. He said its Disney he can't be mad haha. I told him I would keep him on if that person cancels.


Ahhh I am trying to get caught up on Lost. I FINALLY watched part three of last season's season finale (yes lol I am way behind)...but I cannot find ep. 1 and 2 anywhere for this season so I downloaded it on Itunes. Its taking foreeeeever to download.



I want to recommend a food. I bought this frozen meal from Green Giant and its cheesy rice and broccoli that you just pop in the microwave. OMG its so good. So good. And I am a picky eater. I want to buy 5 more boxes of it. Yummo.

Went and got my hair ran through a 2nd time today since it didn't hold all the color from 2 weeks ago. I LOVE it. Love it love it.

Okay I promise I will stop being vain

Your hair looks AWESOME!! I love all the contrast in the color. How often do you have to get your highlights touched up? I got mine done on 2/3 and they have already grown out an inch. I have an appt on 3/24, but I think I need to go sooner...it's only been 4 weeks! Ugh! My hair grows FAST!

Thanks! I love it when I have these colors in my hair. It just brightens up my whole face

My hair grows super fast too. It grows about an inch a month but I go every 6 weeks because I can deal with it up until then. The red fades SO fast, so I could easily go every 4 weeks but its expensive even with the discount she gives me! Its 50 for a retouch. Today was free though and I wasn't expecting it to be! All I paid for was my eyebrow wax ;D

My next appointment is April 15th I believe, so I will be nice and fresh for Florida! I don't like the big chunk of blonde though, I may have her go over it with red when I have it retouched. I like it to be more woven and piecey looking, not so chunky.

I was just talking to an old friend from high school the other day and she has a 3 1/2 year old. We were talking about how going out all the time has just gotten so old and we weren't into the scene...I caught myself and I was like MAN I am such a mom! I have dated guys before who expected me to just up and come out there...like one asked me at the last minute to come up to a casino and hang out. I told him Rylan was asleep and he told me to wake him up and bring him in I swear.

That's awesome!! I have been wanting to ride ToT SOOOO bad so I am super stoked now that I will be able to! Are you getting a park hopper ticket? That's what we have. You should email me sometime (glenn_kara@yahoo.com) and we can compare schedules. Woohoo I am excited!

Oh man, tell me about it! I've had the same issue with guys. They don't understand that I can't just drop everything & go!

I'll shoot you an e-mail with our schedule and we can pick a time to hang out! I'm so excited! You're going to absolutely LOVE ToT & RnR! 2 of my favorites!

 

[wlwilliams9]

DUDE!!! Our tickers are so close to saying 1 month!! I'm so excited!

I had a dream last night that I introduced you to one of Mike's BFFs, Phil. He's 34 and divorced. He has a 6, almost 7yo, boy. You guys totally hit it off and you moved to Michigan. What's crazy is, this is the 2nd time I've had this dream!?! WEIRD!!

HOLY CRAP

I have had almost 11,000 views on the my ptr! Holy cow!


Now time to complain. I am taking a fitness/wellness class right now (yes, fluff class, super easy A!). I just got done with my lab this week and our chapter is about body composition. Now, don't get me started on BMI because I detest it. Although I have brought my down and am no longer considered overweight

Another part of the lab, other than calculating BMI was to measure your waist and hips. Well I knew my waist would be okay (33 1/2 in) and figured my hips would be a bit more and it was, 39 1/2 inches. I am OKAY with that. Well it made you do a waist to hip ratio as well. Dividing your waist by your hips. Mine was 0.85.

Well guess what that means? Apparently I am considered high risk since my ratio is over 0.82 Okay not so funny. I think thats CRAP. WTH I had a child for godsakes and unless someone's not telling me something my hips spread and I can't push them back to where they used to be. That makes me mad, and its things like this that make people feel bad about themselves. In my lab, where I could write a little bit I even made a comment that I feel I am in great condition and that I was ignoring the waist to hip ratio, since I had a child. I feel like it doesn't account for that.




Alrighty. Other than that...my dad is taking Rylan to the circus Sunday so yippee time alone! My dad was kinda confused as to why I didn't want to go, but I took him last year, and could really use the time to get ahead on some homework. Rylan never gets to do much with my dad anymore so I figured it would be a good time for him.

Unfortunately they have Disney on Ice here this weekend. Well not here, but in Ft Wayne which is like 2 hours away. I wanted to go, but couldn't find anyone to go with me so I decided not to

Bought a bunch of stuff for Rylan's birthday! We changed themes AGAIN. I think I told you guys I was going to do Blues Clues so I could make the cake. Well I went to the store today to buy some stuff and they had an ITTY BITTY BC section with nothing at all in there...so I figure I will just go home and buy it online like I had planned to since it was all 50% off. Well I go home, select all the stuff I want, and go to check my cart. Of course its ALL sold out. Ugh. Of course by that time I had already flippin bid on a Blues Clues cake pan on Ebay which I just had to send payment in for.

So now we are doing Mickey Mouse. Yes! I convinced him! I showed him the Mickey Mouse cake and he said he wanted that and even chose which one he wanted to do.

I am bidding on that pan right now on Ebay and lucky me its a retired pan The ones on Buy It Now are all $40! So right now I have my highest bid at 15.00 and its currently at 13.50. Hopefully the other person doesn't come back!

I am also going to make candy lollipops. Wilton makes these things called Candy Melts, where they are little candy disks and you stick them in a bag, pop em in the microwave, and melt them. Then you can pour them into molds and put sticks on the mold trays to make "lollipops" I found a Mickey mold which I will probably buy. I am so excited! I am going to rent a shelter at the park for the party so we can have everyone come.

 

[wlwilliams9]

That BMI crap pisses me off too!! Whoever came up with that was obviously an idiot!

I love the Mickey cake! I hope you win the bid! If not, you could always do one like this: http://tv.disney.go.com/playhouse/grown-ups/celebrationcenter/recipes/mmch/recipes5.html It's not as cool though!

Rylan will love the circus. We took Emily back in November and she really enjoyed it. It'll be nice to have the alone time! I, unfortunatly, have a baby shower to go to on Sunday. It's about 45 minutes away, but it's close to the Disney Store, so I will be going there afterwards. That's what I'm looking forward to. There is also a new, 2 story Target I need to check out!

 

[kgle]

LOL!


I don't think I could do that cake...I think using an icing bag and making stars is way easier! lol

They have more mickey pans on there so I will have to keep my eye on them

However that link you posted is helpful! It has Mickey themed party ideas for food!!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Ha! I'm the opposite! I could do the clubhouse cake, but the stars, yikes, I think I'd farg that one up!!

That website does have some handy party tips. You can even print out invitations. Everything you need for a Mickey party!

Are you ok with me sending Rylan candy from Mr. Lopart's Candy Store? I thought I'd ask in case you didn't allow him to have candy.

I actually have a friend who has a degree in graphic design so she is going to do the invites for me She did her DD's invites and they looked fantastic.

And yeah that's fine! I don't give him candy on a daily basis so he can have some, but I will put it up and dole it out as necessary ;D

 

[colinsdad]

Great cake pan! I'd have a hard time frosting it though.

We did a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party for Colins 2'd b-day and did it the lazy way I guess. I got him a figurine set which he could play with after we took it off the cake. (We got a sheet cake at BJ's. )

All the cups, plates and tablecloths all had the MMClubhouse designs on them too.

Haha! I just bought Rylan that figurine set the other day!

It looks like the MMC party stuff you had is the same as what I bought. I still have to get other things...I think I am going to buy red and black balloons for it? I got balloon weights for the tables.

Ugh I have to go back to the store today to return the blues clues stuff!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Are you having a better day today than yesterday? I read your blog!

Ugh no. It has already started again. He climbed up onto the kitchen counter...I just don't know what to do with him. All my parents say is "Keep stuff out of his reach" "he's just 2" and its like can't ANYONE just give me some sympathy? Its like...its all my fault and no one can just give me a hug and say its going to get better.

My dad is on a walk with him now and then tomorrow they go to the circus so I am thankful for the time alone right now.

On another note, 2 months tomorrow until we arrive!!!! I need this vacation SO bad! I am curious to see what this "23" thing is that Disney is keeping top secret. We find out in 3 days!

I'd give you a big hug and let you cry on my shoulder if I could! I've had my share of crying into a pillow when Emily is on my last nerve! Plus, you only have so much storage space out of the reach of your toddler!

Emily loves getting into my make-up too. I gave her, her own make-up brushs and empty powder compact. I also bought her a few Lip Smackers chap stick things to use for lip stick. She has her own basket in the same drawer where my make-up is so when I am putting on my make-up, she can put on hers. Now she stays out of my stuff and uses her own. Although, it sounds like Rylan would rather destroy furniture with make-up than to wear it like Mommy does!!

You definitely have to be strong to be a single mom. I don't know how you do it? Hugs

 

[wlwilliams9]

Oh, I forgot to add, I'm excited about the "Are you 23?" thing too. Rumor has it, it's a Disnay fan club with exclusive offers. We'll have to see! Several years ago, Disney had a Disney Club program that I belonged to where we got discounts on packages and at Disney Stores, but they discontinued it when they started the Disney Visa. Maybe this will be something similar!?!

 

[bertegirl]

Ok so where is the figurine set from? I love it! I need to plan Austins 1st birthday in the mist of moving, our trip, my niece has 1 communion, a niece and a nephew have confirmation and Easter. Oh my! Plus Jason's birthday is the week before our trip! Calgon take me away!!!

Hope you are having a better day! I am so proud of you for being a single mom. I go nuts when Jason leaves for the weekend or is in the field!
