Keep your chin up

Thanks Laura!

Thanks! Sometimes I swear I am irritated at stuff I have no control over. My latest is the anti virus software that pops up and just starts scanning the computer until you stop everything! Oh that gets my goat!!!!! I have my FREE spybot that I do run. It's the ones coming via my web page visits that make me scream! I will definitely be bugging you with all my problems. You will be sorry you mentioned this little tid bit about yourself!

Heard from Cammie today she is well the girls are well and they got to see the Castle lights go on. That Lucky Duck!!!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi everyone, I'm back! I had a busy weekend, but lots of fun!

I'm glad Cammie and the girls are having a magical time! Thanks Jillian!

Kara, I just saw the stay 4, get 3 Free deal - I can't find the link - I was thinking it would be the same as our park tics and DDP for the 5 nights, and we still have two left over to pay for - maybe I should get 2 rooms and someone else can stay at POP for the first 5?

I would probably try to help BSIL get character dining for the kids - after all, they have to go to WDW with HER - poor things!

Debbie, I KWYM about losing weight. I lost another 4 lbs last week - I just don't have time to eat sometimes, and then I don't have an appetite. I'm at my goal weight from January, although it's still 20 lbs more than when I got married. People are starting to get worried. I think we should both get checked out and make sure there isn't another reason besides stress and busy.

I wouldn't bring up Thanksgiving, either. Some people probably just don't plan ahead, but it bothers me when they don't invite you and then expect you the last minute. Maybe you are just busy this year????? That would make it easier huh?

When is Elizabeth's party?

We had a ton of snow on Tuesday, BTW - then melted on Wed with rain!

Erin, how was Nemo?

SEWER! Nice to see you here! Pics! We want Pics!

I know I missed replying to some posts - sorry. Have a happy Monday everyone!

 

[karajeboo]

I hate Cammie. Just kidding!!!! She's having a blast and her sister got picked for the Indy show at DHS!!! She said Amanda is doing great - they're in their happy place!!!

Debbie and Tammie - if either one of you mention losing weight one more time.........

Seriously, I"ve gained so much weight. Jeff and I agreed that we're gonna say to heck with it until after the holidays, then we both need to start eating better and exercise. By May 1 next year I WILL be down to my goal weight and size. Period. End of story.

Debbie - stop stressing about the holidays - it is what it is and you can't change it. I know how you feel though. I also understand your frustration with your DH. Jeff got into a knock down drag out on Saturday morning. Our first big fight in a long time, so we were due. I'm just sick of him doing NOTHING!!! The problem is that he really believes he does do a lot of work. He kept throwing up cutting the grass - it takes him 30 minutes once a week. If I only worked for 30 minutes one a week inside, the house would fall apart!!! I grabbed all his clean laundry taht was folded and still not put away after 5 days and threw it to him, telling him to put it away or I was gonna bag it up and toss it in the garage. It got put away.

 

[CRdisMom]

ahh the life styles of FL living... that scene sounded like it was out of my house a few weeks ago. Funny how a good fight makes it all better.

Ahh to be losing weight and not trying. Someday that will happen. I'm up 15 lbs. When I had Katherine 2 years ago I weighted 189. I'm at 182 right now. I don't like that I am close to my maternity weight. I was a lot lower. But I am a yo-yoer. I just love to eat. oh well. I have to love myself.

Tammie glad to hear someone else has snow. I have frozen pond in the backyard. Keep in mind it was 74 last monday ! That's MN for you.

Off to clean and prep for Katherine's 2 yr birthday. Party is on Sat but it will take me that long to feel fully prepared and of course I need to make her cake.

Got a ton of work done around the house this weekend. Jeff and I got our closet cleaned out - pitched a bunch of old stuff and reorganized. Looks great now!

Then I vacuumed around all the baseboards down stairs to get dog hair up - what a pain! Then we vacuumed and then steamed all the window sills down stairs - there were so many dead bugs in there!!! Now we can open the windows - it's beautiful during the day!!!! So I feel like we got a lot accomplished this weekend. But I didn't get the "normal" cleaning done....

Also got the other drapery rod hung in the family room. I can only do so much at a time cause my legs get shaky when I'm on a ladder 20 feet in the air!!!! Plus I got my drapes hung in my bedroom and got some stuff up on the walls. I'm gonna get all that finished tomorrow I think. That room will be DONE until we get new furniture!!!

Still holding off on buying the fabric to do the family room drapes. It's so expensive and we're really trying to be careful with money right now. Hopefully Jeff is going to a new compensation package next year which would help a LOT!!! It's just tight right now.

Still need to pick up Ally's dress from the seamstress - she tore it on Halloween so I took it to someone to try to repair. Don't know though - it was torn right in the middle of the lace panel in the front. We'll see.....

Then I need to finish our shirts, and make a couple more autograph pages. I've got to get all the fairies since they're out with Tink now, and I just read that the Bolt characters are at Studios now. Then I need to bling out our t-shirts - I did the transfers this weekend. Then pack. Even though it's only 3 days, I still have to make sure I have my park bag ready to go. Can't forget pins, or autograph books, or pressed penny book. I swear, we've got too much going on!!!!

 

[soontobewed07]

Kara- Husbands are all the same Same fight here yesterday also the you don't work we need to conserve funds etc... but when he wants to spend funds it is okay. We just upgraded from CBR to Wilderness lodge with the new discount his decision "these rates are too good etc....blahblahblah"

He did clean up the downstairs and watched Badookie while I slept until 10am. Badookie was up from 1am to 5a.


Laura-I am above my Maternity weight I actually lost 15lbs while I was Pregnant I was so sick,but now with the medicine I am losing about 2lbs a week. I can't believe you make your own cake I am not a baker. I can cook everything else.


Tammie- Glad you had a good weekend. This new deal is pretty good for us although I didn't plan on putting out 2300 right after Christmas, but when it saves over 600 than I guess it will be worth it. I spoke with my TA and she said I can add the dining plan as long as it is 3 days before we leave. Whew that will save me time to come up with a little more money!

Well I am off to shower I have that interview today and I really hope it goes well. I will check in after I get back.

 

[Debbie6221]

Hi Girls.
Today was Elizabeth's birthday so I officially have to change my siggie.
I am sicker than a dog (haven't been this sick in a VERY long while). Thank God for "Cammie Live pix"! They really help keep me going!!!
I will be back tomorrow. I am going to bed!

 

[CRdisMom]

get better soon debbie!

Beth and Katherine have decided that the cake needs to be in the shape of a strawberry and needs to be 3-d. (its a strawbeery shortcake themed party) I say yah right i'm not the "ace of cakes" then beth pipes up can we get one of those for katherine. AHHH! gotta love them. who knows I may give it a shot. I haven't worked with fondant so it would be quite an experiement. I'll post pix if I do.

kara you put me to shame with all that cleaning....

 

[karajeboo]

Jillian - Again with the weight loss!!! AARRGGHH!!!! Actually, I'm proud of y'all. I just need to get on the program, watch what I eat, and work out. It's relatively simple in theory,huh?

Laura - I've never worked with fondant. I've bought it - the premade kind, but I chickened out when it came time to make it. Last year was the first year that I didn't make a cake for Ally's bday, cause we didn't have a big party for kids. This year I'm sure she'll want to do that, so I'm thinking probably HSM3 cake. Not sure yet. I have until March for her to change her mind....

I bought the "diamonds" for our shirts, but I got the wrong kind. So now I have to run to this crappy AC Moore by our house to exchange them at lunch. Too much to do in three days. Oh, well, I guess it could be worse.

 

[CRdisMom]

Bummer on the diamonds. I hate doing that.

Doing research on the cake. Katherine is here saying yummy when she sees them.

 

[soontobewed07]

OKay this is Pathetic we have been on the same page for 2 days. That is so not like us.

Kara- Weight loss for me is amazing I lost all of my baby weight and then some, but in 3 months it all came back plus 20 more. My body stopped disposing of insulin which caused the weight gain so until I got on this med nothing was going to work!
You WILL lose it,but this is a hard time of year. Don't bother trying. We can start our support group after the holidays!

Laura- You still amaze me I could never make a cake.

Well Mike and I are both off today and the house is almost clean so I think maybe we will go out and get some things done. Maybe a bit of XMAS shopping. I have NO ornaments for my tree

 

[karajeboo]

I agree, Jillian! We're stuck here - so with my new rant, maybe we'll jump a page!

So I told y'all about my BSIL booking her trip to Disney - so do I tell her about the 4 night/3 free nights or not? OK, so I emailed to tell her. Get this - I get an email back from her. It says, "I called Disney and they credited us back for 3 nights." That's it. No "thank you" or anything!!! I"m so mad I told her! I should have waited until they got back and then asked if they got their free nights. Of course then some poor CM would have had to deal with her when she called them screaming about the money they owed her.

Seriously, she is unbelievable! Why did I even tell her? She said she's already called and yelled at them cause they won't let her make her ADRs yet. I hope she gets screwed on that whole deal. Seriously, I can be a vindictive witch when I want to be, and she just seems to bring that out in me!
