Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts - We're still here!

[UsNew2Disney2008]

We're warm here today again - 80. BUT tomorrow starts a few days of 50's for us. That will be hard to go back to!

Okay, so I quit the BL diet - DAY 1. Sorta. It is a little expensive to do all the things they tell you, so I'm kinda blending it with WW, so we will see. I did weigh myself this morning and I'm down 2.6 lb from yesterday.

I've got more cleaning to do today. For some reason, nothing like open windows gets me in the cleaning mood.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Tired!!!!! So tired!!! But my back is mostly better, so I'm recovering nicely. It's supposed to be mid-80's here today and tomorrow. Absolutely gorgeous!

I just got all my pics edited, so now uploading to photobucket.....

Good Morning! Just a quick fly by.

Kara, glad you had a good time - congrats on doing Mission Space I love it, but it makes Jim sick, so we'll doing the non-spinning one this time!

Cammie and Laura, sorry about your snow. We've had snow here the past 5 nights. It is getting up to 35 in the day, so mostly melting, but the wind is so cold. That's our Spring - cold wind up until the middle of June, with a few nice days in between.

Lorrie, hope you are feeling better. It sounds like you have your party under control Good job on the WL.

Well, I'd better get Myles ready for school. I'm really busy the next couple of days. Oh, and my taxes? Well, the IRS doesn't recognize the EIN number for my retirement money I took, so I have to file on paper! I was expecting money in 10 days!

Hi Girls! I am super crabby so I will make it short.
First "whatever" Kara! Now we aren't going to meet up with you ever again...I mean you did meet our children too!!!!!!! J/K I know Badookie is the cutest thing on earth!!!! You are lucky to get to meet all of us. Damn economy! Maybe one day we can actually have a dismeet all together.


Laura....sorry for the yucky funeral/wake situation. That stinks!

Hi Cammie..our weather is playing games here too...warm then freezing....rain then ice.....probably contributing to my nasty mood!

Hi Tammie....hope you are feeling better. It's hard to have so much responsibilities and the n not feel well.

My hubby has a bad cold and cough so he is like non existent right now. He just goes to work and then goes to sleep.


Lorrie...that prednisone takes a while to get out of your system you know.

Also, I feel so bad you don't feel well!
You are going to laugh but have you ever heard of the macrobiotic diet? Maybe it is worth a try for your health and weight. I tried it when I wanted to lose weight and get pregnant. It was supposed to make your body clean and pure.....
Believe me I have been where you are!!!! I have done every diet out there...my weight has been as high as 190. Unfortunately, the one that worked after Elizabeth was born was good old fashion calorie counting and measuring and writing EVERYTHING down. The thing is that, that way if you want to eat your favorite food and use all your calories for it then that's your choice. Also, I have a couple tricks...first off if I want to lose water right away I do a couple days of "no whites"...that's nothing made with white sugar or white flour". Our body has 100% no need for either. Also, have you ever eaten fat free refried beans? I think they are so yummy and filling. I would put those on a whole grain tortilla with some salsa and a tad little bit of cheese in the toaster oven. Loved that! Felt full. Also, make a vegetable soup with ALL the vegetables you can think of that you love. If there are no noodles and no cream or milk in it, it practically has NO calories and again it fills you up. If you have to record it sometimes you don't eat it. Now unfortunately all my anxiety and worrying has kept my weight off but that was how I initially got it down. Again...email me if you want any other info from me. I have been where you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Debbie - thanks for all the information. I'll go to the website and read it. Sounds close to what I'm trying to do - and you are right - writing it down works so well!

So guess who just got a DING! and saved a bundle?!?!!

I now have $150 credit - to go nowhere.

Just kidding. I'll probably go see my beautiful little niece one weeknd.

I keep meaning to tell you that I do check Southwest but they haven't done me any favors. The airport is much more inconvenient and they aren't making it worth it with the price.

CONGRATS to you though!

Hey girls. Been back since this AM but we all took a nap we had to be up at 3:30 this morning and it really took a toll on us after our late night last night. I am going to catch up tomorrow night, but for now a few pics. Hope everyone is well.

Hey! I resemble that remark! I just finished getting all my pics together yesterday. It always sucks coming home, huh?

Great meeting you JIllian! I can add you to my "collection" as Debbie says!

 

[soontobewed07]

It was great meeting you too Kara Now it's back to reality I just got the pictures downloaded haven't touched them up and have to hit the photopass account. I think I am going to make a book with my own pictures this time.
It's time for grocery shopping and a trip to Target to get the house stuff.

I need to move to Disney

Oh a Ding! Congrats! I keep looking for a credit from my Vegas tics, but so far not there!

Yeah, I was checking on property in World Showcase but couldn't find anything in my price range! I told Jeff I want to live in Norway.... in Epcot. It smells good. LAila!!!! Or Germany - it's pretty. Itally is gorgeous, and Morocco is just plain cool with all the hidden rooms. The UK has nice hidden gardens, and they talk cool there too. Maybe I could understand Erin and Tessa better if I lived there!

Cammie, your post is at the top of the page, so when I logged on, all I saw was your statement, and I was already laughing cuz I knew it was going to be a funny exchange!

I know - it looks like there could be apartments in those buildings - I don't know why they don't just let us stay there! I can't believe I'll be there in 11 DAYS!!!!!


Debbie, I hope you feel happier today!
Laura, hope everything went okay with the funeral - really sad.
Jillian - WELCOME BACK!!! Really cute pics! Kara keeps turning up in everyone's travel photos - it will be like "Where's Waldo?"

BTW, Kara - are you coming down again this month?

 

[karajeboo]

Tammie - when do you get in??? I know the weekend of the 28th we're here because that's Ally's bday party.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Kara, I guess we will miss you. We get in the night of the 22nd, 8ish - and then we leave the morning of the 29th - 7ish.

 

[karajeboo]

Well, we were planning on going to St Augustine tonight to watch the shuttle liftoff. But I just saw on the news that they scrubbed it due to a fuel leak, so hopefully it will go up tomorrow. I've heard that it is an incredible experience to see it go up at night. We saw it a couple years ago when we were down here house hunting. We were eating outside in St Augustine, with some friends of ours, and it was just a fluke that we were there when it went up! It was amazing to see!!!! And that was about 5pm. So I can only imagine it at night.

If we go, I plan to take both cameras and the tripod!

I am getting really frustrated that my trip is still sooooooo long away

However in 2 weeks time i will actually be in the same country as y'all
