[HollyTyler]

Marilyn, is it just you and me on here today? Where are all of our regular chatters? Maybe they're all sleeping in on this Friday morning.

SUPER busy day at work today!

I really can't afford any extras places other than what I promised Tyler. Sorry.

I just noticed your ticker - wow, 34 pounds! That is great. I keep trying to get motivated to get back into the shape I was in pre-kids but it is SO hard. I'm off to the gym now. Working out I can do - it's the stop eating and drinking part that gets me!

Popping in to say good morning and to show of my new WISH clippie! Finally hit 5 lbs! (which is right on schedule actually....two and a half weeks).

It's going to be hard to give up early morning DISing for an early morning walk, but the weather is breaking here and our 6AM temps are very plesant, so I can't delay any longer. Peg has already been doing AM walks for a week, so it's time to join in I guess. I know once I start I will love doing it, it's just rebuilding that habit that it is taking some effort.

Venetia/Bubba, loved the pics!

Time to hit the shower and start another work day AND I have to decide if I'm going to go in Saturday and get to some back-logged stuff. Love the idea of overtime, but not the hour spent commuting.

Check in with you at lunchtime!

GREAT JOB Jackie on your 5 pounds!

Great job!



That is very interesting. I had no idea of the history. It makes me want to get it even more! I think I will pick up a bottle or two...I see that have it at the Belmont Wine Exchange. I wonder if that is an actual store or just website? It has an address so I'm going to drive on by....thanks Noel! Very interesting. Any idea how to get on their list?? Lisa

I am not sure but why not give them a call?

Where does she live now? Any chance of you getting together? What great fun that would be!!!!!

she's in Atlanta now!


So I still haven't heard anything. I am debating on calling...my mom is in a seminar and won't be answering her phone until after 3...she's an HR director and I would like to know her opinion....if I will seem pushy, I just don't think I can take the weekend.

Thank you! I think my loss is all hormonal, but I'm still thrilled! I keep thinking of how much more I'd lose if I could find time to get to the gym, but with work and school, no way.

I noticed another lb off there Holly - well done.

Im pretty sure Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard beach will be closed then for winter. I like the Rainforest idea and there is still the playground at Lego Land so they could play while we all chatted, Ghiradeli chocolate is very close too!
We need to get the date and time and how many people?

 

[birkner]

Would LOVE to! Let me know if there is anything in particular you would want to do, and I'll get ressies made!

Since that is I think the last day for the Mickey Very Merry Xmas party, I was thinking of ordering tickets. Is there someplace special we could go during the day? Let me know if this is a go and I will order my ticket.

I like your brother, Deb! I am so tired of clutter, dusting, wiping, trying to find a place to put "it"! We are filling up our THIRD 20 yard dumpster this weekend! I do have to say is is not all our junk though. We have 2 garages, a barn and a 12 X12 shed and everyone over the years (family, friends) have thought we have room to "store" stuff. We live in Oregon and it is damp ALWAYS. The dampness just ruins stuff in barns, garages and sheds. Furniture, clothing, papers, you name it, it is going in the dumpster!

You and my brother would keep good company!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I need help!!

I know lots of you are coming to my next of the woods soon to visit our favorite mouse....and I want to meet everyone....so am going to write the dates down....

Can you all post (or pm) when you'll be here???

These are the ones I know 100% cuz I already have meets planned:
Kathe - 10/21-11/2 (breakfast w/ V too 10/27; PFTS that night)
V and family - 10/27 (breakfast w/ Kathe too)
Ian - 10/19-10/26 (doesn't post much but is on our cruise)

Karen - the 17th-26th is that Oct or Nov?

Deb/Holly/Heather - I know you're here in Nov around Thanksgiving

Marilyn - you're Nov too, right?

Hope I didn't miss anyone....didn't mean to!

Can't wait to meet everyone!

Deb, Holly, Heather....and Karen and possibly V and possibly Marilyn on a fly by hello....we're all trying to do Nov 25...someplace kid friendly. Do you have any suggestions?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

John never learns!!! He just sat here and tore up old papers to put in the rubbish bag and realised he had torn up the copy of our most recent wills!!!

Ut Oh....somebody is a baaaaaaad boy and in a lot of trouble! HA HA



Must be an Autumn thing!!

It's a craze already!

Deb,
Are you coming down at the end of the month too?
Im hoping you are because if I have to go to ca the begining of the month when your down I wont be so bummed.

We need to get a disney castmate to babysit for a few hours so we can all chat!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I am glad all went as well with Ray. I am feeling better each day and looking forward to our NYE cruise with great anticipation!!

Have you ever cruised NYE before? I bet that would be a spectacular cruise to do.

Hey Geeks....cruising next Jan....how about NYE?

Noel, would you do it again next year?

 

[lillygator]

well since I am driving myself crazy I bit the bullet and called....


guess what --- voice mail! So I went ahead and left a message.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Unfortunately, when we go to the beach, I'm in the water with him, so no pics.

OK....but sad....would have loved to see them....understand that mom has to be with Tyler to keep him safe thing....it's hard when it's only the two of you...no break for you! Well do have a lot of fun and tell us all about it!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Good Point....then Downtown Disney would probably be best...we'll have to find something for them to play with while we're there. No LegoLand is a downer.

Very cool...let's do that then.

Heather
Holly
Deb
Monica
Karen (most likely)
V (maybe)
Marilyn (maybe a fly by)

We need to pick out a time....since you know the area well....what's a good time to meet there?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb,
Are you coming down at the end of the month too?
Im hoping you are because if I have to go to ca the begining of the month when your down I wont be so bummed.

I will be there Nov 1, 2, 3. I'll be on a halloween cruise before that. When are you going to CA? We could do a Pleasure Island meet on the 1st or an anywhere meet on the 2nd during the day. On the 2nd at night we'll be at the MNSSHP. Then we could do the 3rd in the morning anywhere. When are you available?

We need to get a disney castmate to babysit for a few hours so we can all chat!

I can't wait to meet you and everybody....we have sooooooooo much to chat about!!!!!!!

I've been catching up on the last 60 or so pages, so please bear with me if I seem a little out-of-date!

Good Morning Gydell and Marilyn....after reading your posts I consider myself so lucky that DH John has been bitten by the Mickey bug as much as I have. We both share loving the Mouse and all of his toys. I guess I'm very fortunate to have this, as a lot of husbands don't care. I must remember to be greatful.....I'm sure when your husbands get there and feel the excitement they join in.

My DH is a mixture. He doesn't DIS, and I don't think of him as being quite so Disney keen as me, and he has lots of other interests. But then sometimes he surprises me, like in the last couple of weeks we've started to get new WDW TV adverts and he got all excited about them. And suddenly says that he'd like to go to WDW for his birthday week in February. Which I'd never even thought to suggest, especially as we would be strictly limited to 6 nights and it's a long way to travel for such a short time.

But now I have a good excuse to look and plan for a possible WDW vacation!
