Minnie Marathon 2007 -- WISH Roster (see post 1 for WISH Meets Info!)

[WDWFAN9]

Hey team!

One week from now I will be in my happy place - WDW! And it won't be a minute too soon. Since January I have been in a major funk....lots of issues, none of them earth-shattering, but more of a cumulative thing. Normally I am a pretty laid back person, and things don't bother me for long (I'm an accountant and we aren't usually known for being over emotional), but just a bunch of stuff has been going on and I have been desperately missing my parents (Mom died in Sept 99 and Dad in June 00). I misplaced some of Mom's jewelry that I am holding for my DDs and I literally tore the house apart before I found them (after promising St Anthony a handsome reward). On the bright side, all of my drawers and closets haven't been simultaneously this organized since I moved in 20 yrs ago.

Menopause (sorry guys) is knocking at the door and I feel really out of control of my emotions. I've warned my kids I might be getting even with them for all of their teenage drama!!

Then when I got home last night I found that we had a sump pump malfunction (actually the sump pump and its battery back up both quit working). DH is out of state working, so I had to deal with it myself. Fortunately only a few inches of very cold water had accumulated in the tiled areas of the basement, and the neighbor came over to help. Does bailing count as xt?? I had to run to Home Depot for a replacement sump and the neighbor helped to install it, which really saved the day. Finally about 8:30 last night I sat down and right then DD called on her way home from a friends. She ended up bringing me a hot fudge sundae (much better than a LIIT) to help cheer me up.

Ok, if you've made it this far through my whining, thanks. I feel better already. I took today off to deal with the basement mess and DH is on his way home and is taking me out to lunch!

I am so looking forward to seeing everyone in WDW.

b They're typically supplied, but some paranoid types keep about a dozen in their pack just in case.

 

[zweihund]

Carrie--we can track together--cuz' we'll probably be the only ones left around here Friday morning

Nah, I'll be here too! In one week I will be home from my last day of work before the Minnie.......but will be getting ready for my conference which starts the very next day at WDW

Too perfect, huh?

This is probably the most recent pic I have of me - hair is a little bit longer but otherwise I look the same. I'm on the left:

 

[disneyfanz04]

Here is the most recent pic of DD-11

And here is one of me...I still look the same only a little "puffier" from the steroids... oh yeah, and I am trying to let the bangs grow, so no bangs.

 

[Hockeychic]

I love all the photos.

I am going to try and post this one DH just took of me and DD....

OK, it isn't working can someone tell me how to do it???

 

[Kristi1357]

OK, it isn't working can someone tell me how to do it???

How did you try to post it?
Did you upload to photobucket or some other hosting service first?

Judy - you need to post the wedding pic of you & Charlie on the docks at WL. The one that used to be in your siggie awhile back - I always loved that picture!

For those who will be at MGM on Friday (or MK or Epcot - we may do the rounds), I will have my WISH lime green bracelet on. I would wear a WISH shirt, but I am using my short sleev & tank for the 5k & 15k. Thinking it may be a little hot for the long sleeve one!


Keep the pics coming guys - love 'em!

 

[angietuck2]

OK MY TURN

I know there are pics in my sig but I can't pass up this opportunity to show off my beautiful family

Training Update

Did 5 miles in 45 minutes. As I said on weekly thread, I told the 90 degree sun that was beating on me to take a hike today, it didn't but I pushed on anyway.

Going shopping for something to wear to grad

angie

OK I uploaded to photobucket, but how do I make it bigger??

 

[Hockeychic]

[nucpharm29]

Love all the pics--I need to print them to take with me so I can pick out who's who!

Anyway--had a STONKER this afternoon! I was actually in tears when I got home. Everything hurt. I was supposed to do 10 miles and got 9.64 in. dont' remember the time--don't really care. I guess bad rehearsal good performance on race day???? And now I get to work all weekend--ugh! But more Disney spending money right???

Well, on a positive note--1 week from right NOW I'll be in Atlanta eating some dinner waiting on my next flight!
