Mike' Make Over Madness!

[Mykelogan]

Did someone say Earl of Sandwich? I'm suddenly starving!!!
I'm going to go weep in the corner because it will be at least another year before I'm able to eat at Earl.

But Amanda, just think how good it will taste by then! hehe!!!

Hi Mike!!!!

I am so glad that things are going to work out for everyone for this WISH meet!!!! I would love to meet some of you.....I too will be there in spirirt.

How are you doing this Wednesday?

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi All!!

Thanks for visiting Tracy & Jamie, today was a long but good day!

Day did not start well. Logan got sick last night and was vomiting for several hours. I did not actually get to sleep until 8:30am this morning and then I was up at 10am because I had many meetings! Oh my! And of course I did not get out of the office until exactly 4:30pm with no lunch break! So I came home and made some pepperoni chips and had them with celery sticks for a quick lunch & took a 90min nap.

Then I got up and started some laundry at 7pm. I spent 7 to 9pm hanging out with my RA on duty at our front desk. I snuck into my apartment at 8:15pm to make dinner. Needed something quick because Hall Council meets at 9pm. So I made a salad of course and then I cut a low carb pita into two pockets and stuffed em with sliced mushrooms, a smidge of low carb pasta sauce and some shredded pizza cheese. I then popped the pockets in the microwave for 2 min, added the salad to the plate, grabbed a vanilla cream yogurt and was back out to the desk in 10min, where I ate my dinner and had a few bottles of water.

Hall council was good, only about 45min tonight and then I watched an epidsode of Sex & the City with my RA on duty. We then closed up the desk, he headed out on a round of the building and I went for a 15min night walk around the res halls so I could say I did exercise today (Go Red Team in the Biggest Loser Challenge!!!) and came in here.

Now I am heading to bed after reading some journals. I started looking at disneyworld dot com of course tonight and was pricing upgrading my Dec trip to a mod resort just to try it out, and I was also pondering all the advice I got in my Candlelight Processional vs. Osbourne Lights post... so what is the end result? I am going to ask my boss if I can add an extra day off so I can expand the trip! LOL I would also do CP on the 7th so I could see Jim Caveziel!!!! Just a day, so I can see the lights at MGM. Wish me luck! hehe

For now, bedtime! See you all in the am!
Mike

I sure do hope you get your extra day at WDW!

Look at you melting away! You'll be running around the world when you get there and what a great feeling that will be.

Keep up the great work.

Hi, Mike! Sounds like your trip planning is going well. Glad to see you posting details of something you cooked. I have always loved reading all your great recipes in your journal and had been missing that lately.

We have never see OL or CP, so I can't give any advice there, but hope you'll be able to come back and post a very, very detailed thread telling us all about both!

Keep up the great work on moving that ticker! You are going to hit your April goal before your December trip, at this rate! :thewave:

Wow, Mike! Sounds like a busy day, but sounds like you did well on almost no sleep.

How is Logan tonight? Hopefully he will remain well and you can get some sleep. Apparently my choc Lab Brandy was ill last night as well. I didn't notice the mess this morning, but by the heat of the day, the scent was there. Poor baby.(105 lb baby)

I sure hope you can finagle the extra day off. That would be GREAT!! Just tell your boss he needs to reward you for all the good work you're doing!

Hope you are getting some much needed sleep! See (talk, write) you tomorrow!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey Mike!

How's Logan doing? Hope he's feeling much better and that you got some much needed sleep yesterday.

Adding a day to your trip? Hmmmm... what do you think my advice would be? Go for it! (And if your boss has something to say about it, your WISH buddies got your back! )

Hope you have a fabulous Friday! Take care!

 

[pearlieq]

I am so sorry to hear about poor Logan!!! Is he feeling better? I asked Diana and Magellan for advice and they said to remind him to pick all the bright orange and red kibble out of his food so he gets the maximum technicolor benefit. They also said he should find a nice, out of the way, inacessible place to get sick, and when in doubt, choose the carpet!

I hope you get to add the extra day to your trip!!! You deserve it after all of this hard work. Also, a big giant YAY!!! for you for starting to add exercise to your days. You're going to be tearing around WDW like nobody's business!

GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi All!!

Lesli, Tracy, Cam, Julie & Pearlieq -- Thanks you guys!!! I appreciate your support so much!!! Logan is feeling better luckily. Now I was just kept up til 4:30am by my rowdy students last night! LOL Tomorrow will be a sleep in day indeed!!

So I did add the fourth day to my trip!! hehe So now my itinerary is:

Monday Dec. 5th
* Fly out at 7:25 am from Providence
* Arrive at MCO at 10:25am
* Magical Express it to POP, check in & head to MGM!
* Dinner ADR at 50's Prime Time Cafe, no Fantasmic Packages available
* Osbourne Lights &/Or Fantasmic!

Tuesday Dec. 6th
* 8am ADR at Crystal Palace! Yay for Pooh & the Gang!
* Spend the day at Magic Kingdom
* Dinner ADR at Tony's Town Square
* Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!!! Yay!!!

Wednesday Dec. 7th
* 12pm - WISH MEET at EARL OF SANDWICH!!!!!
* Head to Epcot!
* Dinner ADR at San Angel Inn
* Candlelight Processional at 6:45pm, Story read by Jim Caveziel!!!!!!
* More Epcot & Illuminations!

Thursday, Dec. 8th
* Leave POP!
* Maybe visit resorts to see the Holiday decorations & hit DTD
* Back to POP to get Magical Express to MCO
* Fly out at 6:25pm, arrive at 9:25pm!
* SLEEP!!! hahahahahah!!!

So I had to switch my Candlelight Processional day so I could see Jim Caveziel do the Christmas Story. I also switched from Marrakesh to San Angel Inn because I liked the times available. I know I said in my last trip report that San Angel was off my list as far as restaurants go but I changed my mind hehe.

It will be weird not weighing in this weekend but I am weighing on Tuesdays now to coincide with the rules of the Biggest Loser Challenge! Wish the red team luck!!! You're going down Blue Team!!! hahaha! (Sorry Lesli!!! Just kidding!!! )

Well it is 3:45 now and I have not had lunch! So I am starving!! I may just have a small snack when I get home and then an early dinner. I want to make my pizza quiche this weekend because it has been toooooo long. Tonight will probably be roasted veggies and chicken. I had to make a Penzeys order today because I am almost out of my fave spice blend. So I ordered a double sized bag this time! hehe!!

Have a great weekend all!!!!!
Mike

 

[pearlieq]

Glad you got the extra day!

Maybe we can still find a way to bump into each other on Monday 12/5. We were planning to do Fantasmic that night as well!

If not, I'm sure we'll come up with something!

GO GET SOME SLEEP!!!!

As for sleep I got a 1 hour nap today but I am off to bed soon tonight and tomorrow I will be sleeping in as long as I like! hehe

Have a good one!

Mike

 

[Mykelogan]

P.s. To my relatively good day...

* Janelle got kicked off Big Brother tonight!!! Booo!!! She was my fave all season!

* Jim Caveziel is now not doing the Candlelight Processional when I am there... not sure what I will be doing. Might switch everything around again tomorrow, we'll see!!!

I am definitely off to bed now to read some of the new exercise book I bought this week! I sleep in tomorrow, yay!!!

Hey Mike!

Did Jim Caviezel pull out of CP altogether or did they reschedule his time? I'm sorry you have to change your schedule again. I was just going to say, "Your schedule looks good, Mike!"

Hope you have a great weekend!

Hi Tracy!

He did not pull out, they just switched his days. He is the 22-24 now I believe. He has been replaced by Jaci Velasquez. I don't think I am going to change my schedule now but I may see if I can get a Le Cellier res without the Candlelight Package as I could not get one with and then I would just do the line for the Processional. We'll see!!! hehe!!

You have a good one too!!
Mike

Isn't it like Midnight where you are now?

Is the dorm quiet?

We should just IM.

Hope your night is peaceful, too!

Hi Julie,

Not Midnight, just about 11pm (in three minutes hehe!)
My night is going well so far.
We should IM, what programs do you use? hehe

It is pretty quiet here so far... I am hoping it will be for the rest of the night!

[goldcupmom]

I'm only on MSN (Kansas5)

OK, I"m BRAIN DEAD - AIM NOT MSN!!

 

[pearlieq]

Hi!

Just stopping by to wish you a happy, quiet night!

How's Logan? Is he back to 100% yet?

Thanks for the heads up about the CP schedule change. I think we were seeing Cicley Tyson, but it's good to know who's coming up as we've got some flexibility on our trip.

GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
