MOOvin' Along - Goog Times, Goog Friends . . . Part 3

[Sandy321]

Cape May was wonderful - crowded - we dropped by there last night, maybe 8 - 10 diners - I mentioned that tonight, adn she laughed, they hadnt been this busy since New Years - but everyone running themarathon or had run the half it seems was there!!

I ate shrimp cocktail, ceasar salad, cucumbers, tomatoes,cold pasta salad, first course, 2nd course meats - green beans, warm pasta with a white sauce, mac and cheese made with Mickey Pasta, ribs, pizza, rolls, (passed on chicken, mussels, clams, clam chowder, tomato bisque and salmon) 3rd course PRIME RIB YUMMME and a cheddar roll - Last course, desserts, a real flan, cheesecake, keylime pie, bonbon of oreo cookie, german chocolate cake -

I was hungry!!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Oh, that does sound yummy! I am guessing most of the desserts were those tiny little two-bite desserts like they have a Chef Mickey's and some of the other buffet restaurants.

I'm sitting here reading trip reports and having some Dove chocolate ice cream with Kahlua on top. Mmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Sandy, let me guess, you are wired, LOL!

Congrats on a fabulous day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best of luck to your DH tomorrow. I sure hope he is sleeping by now ZZZZZZZZZZ

 

[Sandy321]

dh is snoring peacefully - I am all "messed up" I'd be really happy if I could relax!!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Are you getting up super early to cheer your hubby on, Sandy?

My DH can fall asleep SO easily. Just like his dad.

Maybe you could play some Solitaire or some other game on the laptop. That always helps me relax and get into the right frame of mind for sleeping. I often play on the batphone before bed

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

..fyi, i haven't fallen off the earth...but we sure have been
awful busy...."we" , as always, has to do with my lil'miss cutie!



..now, i read something ya'all needing breast feeding experts?...
well hottie -diggy..dogs & ..look no further than me
& wt-!


*
..now all kidding aside....i'm seen enough in my time....to say....
breast feeding is superior ...& i'm a real supporter. [ i think there
are no more tender moments on earth...that is more beautiful...&

...as crazy..as it may sound.....fyi...balance ...is relevant again...
on life matters...sooo...it's important to educate new mothers...they
need to alternate .....which breast....[ prevention], why? common
sense,...your baby is most hunger....in the begining? ...( to keep
the "tap" flowing....especially....after getting fill up...don't let them play
around... so isn't it funny? mother nature?

& ..i know stuff like this? ( would you be surprise...that new mothers...
really liked me..as their ....well, you know...alot of ob nurses
expected...them...to automatic ..know things....so..i think it made
me..less intimidating? funny ,huh? psst, are they teaching "warm towels?"



wow?..did ya all see? the brittany s. ...saga...[ on & on].... .
well, you know my low..opinion..of that so call- dr., "p"..not surprising, but
still a disgrace....., my goodness?....someone needs to redirect...her..if
better than for her kids...fyi, she still have a capable mind..to start
thinking ..for her best interests....she just need to start @ the begining..

...formost..there's nothing wrong..with attention seeking....
except there's 2 differences...negative versus..positive attention-
seeking. second!....ok?...one might have alot of $$$ or be famous...
sorry! ..those things have no &..zero..effects..on reality. regardless, if
one is really ..out to ,
seeking happiness..in life....they still must follow the same rules..like the
rest of..us..it is a messy misconcpetion...these people...live better/
exciting.."loves",..than anyone else. sorry ms. spppp...your "needs"
are no different...and..you neglecting them!...for desires..that are
not..conducive to finding...true happiness....

* it is sad...seeing how so many our young people are missing the
basic things...in life. when are we going to recognize..the importance
of our family values..that we use to get from our ..extended families?

..as for that so call dr.pee...wow- , showing what a lil' knowledge
[ very lilttle--* ever noticed..how much he uses common senses..as if
"he" invented- what a leech!]..cna hurt others well being!

there! i said it! [ boy, i can't say..how important..it is...to have friends..
here..that knows..the values...of their families...whew...

GOOG MORNING!

Waking up late again today. Can't help but stay up late to read the stupid vampire book! I can't believe how involved I am in this whole saga. I don't know what I'll do when I'm finished!

SANDY!!! We are all so proud of you! I'm glad you got the medal. I just about cried when I read how they placed in around your neck... "On behalf of Walt Disney World..." And LOVE the cute pictures. I think that is definitely Hollywood.

Marita? Did you watch all those movies? Have your vampire books arrived yet?

Lil G? Breast feeding expert? Heh. I like your take on the whole Brittany thing. Money and fame never seem to make for happiness.

WT....First basketball game yesterday and we won! Lots of very talented kids on our team so the odds were in our favor. I did ask the director to send a "basketball" person to help with our team. Even though I have the willingness, I really don't know anything about basketball and the kid who is the "head coach" is a shy high school senior. So. They sent us another dad who is a 40ish year old church member. So now my job is just to lead devotions and sit on the bench and hug the kids that aren't playing. And cheer! Perfect job for me!

Gotta go cook the lunch at church today! Although we've ordered most of it....fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, biscuits, and cake.

HAVE A GOOG DAY!

“God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.” --Psalm 51:10 (MSG)

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Lex, it sounds like they found the right woman for that coaching gig!

Hi, Lil G!!! We had been missing you.

Looks like a fairly quiet day here . . .

I think we're going to go do a bit of shopping, get some dinner, and go see that National Treasure movie.

Hope everyone has a nice Sunday

 

[Sandy321]

back in the room, dh finished his Marathon - around 5 hours - I was on a flower bench between world showcase and future world - where I could see the runners come around from Mexico - these WISH shirts stand out let me tell you -

I see dh and start the old HOCKEY WOOOhhhOOOOOoooo up and down - dh when he comes around Mexico, down passed the 2 gift shops round the corner to the straightaway, and I'm under the monorail...

after the race he says "the whole time from Mexico on, I thought, wow someone has a hockey cheer just like Sandy" That lakes has an echo!!

we're in the room, dh in an ice bath, sharing a dble cheeseburger and a beer!

Champagne later!!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

A big MOOO HOOOTY to your DH, Sandy

Success all around for you guys.

Enjoy the champagne!

 

[pumba]

great marathons to you both.......I am glad that you were able to do something like this.....both of you...

I have spaghetti sauce with chicken simmering on the stove.......I call it cheap chicken caccitore.......should be done by four thirty.....YUMMY..

I want you all to feel bad for me so here goes.....

We are in for another Northeaster......8 to 10 inches.....glad that granddaughter left this morning for campus...cause her area is going to have up to 14 inches of that dreaded white stuff....

You know how much I hate snow......in case I forgot to tell you.....YUCK>....

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Pumba, sorry about more snow! BRRRRRRRRRR

We just had a huge thunderstorm here, in January!!!!!!! Black sky, thunder, lighting, the works. It's is just now letting up. Thanksfully, weather was fine this morning for the marathon, and it's supposed to clear up tomorrow.

Lexi, no I did not watch the movies, my local newpaper was wrong!!!!!!!!!!
And yes, the books came a couple of weeks ago, but I just can't get into it so far. I am page 19 or so where the girl just met Edward. I used to love to read, it seems in the last few years, it it's no on the computer screen, I dont want to read it

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

yeah..moo...& i also been sick....

ha! lexy girl, in reality, the facts of life never changes..so learning
should be about constant reminders..., ironic....,

the things i never use anymore...i still remember....of course, since i
moo'ved on over to...mental health.....i get..ample opportunities...to
"hear"...it every day.

why care? ...about newborn care?....* fyi, when we observed any
significant changes..in behavior..the first things we are evulating
for...are physical causes. however, the bigger picture....begins with
prevention...& the needs for our future generation...in good health
..to meet whatever challenges ..they will surely face. & because ....
i have children...that will be living..in the world....so why not do the
things ,we can do..to improve their chances..toward healthy & happy
lives?


oh, * fyi..i get excited..here! cos....we need more people thinking/doing
the things you all are doing..esp. the participating part... ,
as you might recall....i believe, if anyone is really wanting to make a
positive differnce ...in the world..then they should "work" on improving
themselves....& you guys are the best examples..i 've seen...* which
helps me....before i step inside my "work'..where iam "bomded"..every
day..with those..in great struggles..just..for feeling ..less sadness..'
lil'long..those happy feelings..we take for granted.



...my wife's mag., proclaiming...ms. s as....insane....,fyi, i do not believe
in our current labeling system..becuase...all "behavior" has meaning/s...


& if that is "reality"..then we're talking about deficits in processing...&
that being so, means unless there are physical damages to our processing
center-brains....then corrective measures..can produced the desire results.
theerfore, redirecting and educating, ,& "interventions".....can "influenced
others"..toward A. ] recognizing their primary/current needs....B.] alternative
coping skills.....* if they so desire & make the choice. enpowerment thru
theraputic encounters....ps, so..i spend a certain amount of time....listening
to my clients' feedback...& educating the staff under my direction...* you
might be surprise how excited/motivated the lil'traditional family values
are "working"...

...now, you know why lexy girl....i adopted this as my baseline approach...
that the best i can do..is to illustrate easier/higher chances..for my patients...
to chose improved ways...to find positive outcomes...if only they desire.

...& why...does this makes me..... for joy...see? how simple it is, for
all of us..to increase our positive desires..into reality? sooooo, when i first
started...oh, i had no desires....@ becoming...a mental health worker. none!
buti be darn...if i was just going to settle...for doing a baby sitting for
adults... , however, there were no application stds..at all!. all i did
was begin listening...to those i was in charge of..and noting the patterns
being repeat..."wow!..the basics..became..self evident....

* know this, i never envisoned this work..total benefits....by improving
my own well being...& finding happines....just by helping others....and
if these lil'family values...worked for me..i also know they will be effective
toward anyone...willing to learn...then it became..so self evident...that~

physical health issues....do determnine how long..we can live..buttt!,
mental health...issues..determnine how much happpiness...we will squeeze
out of the time..we have. i'm all for that! [ all ears..toward anything
...making my life easier...& happier!]

..* one of my hobbies..is paying attention...on some of the "systems"....
that are designed...to support our emotional needs....naturally. it builds
my faith...by amazment! one of the things..that is hard to figure out..
is why some...are chosing..to live...miserable/painful lives..when all they
need is to do..a lil'corrective actions? . ps, making those
around you happy..will make a person very desirable..by my estimations!


one lil'draw back...from work..oh, ..pickin up ..such a potty mouth,
..funny, "we"..were ..how shockin....we can be [ co-workers]....
of course, we ..all the time..how others are scare.....cos "where" we
work.....but by now, it should be evident, pysch nurses do everything
with feelings?!

so be happy! [smile & the world smile with you?..now...a long time ago....
i can hear my dear sweet mother...singing this song! ]

 

[lalijack]

We are in for another Northeaster......8 to 10 inches.....glad that granddaughter left this morning for campus...cause her area is going to have up to 14 inches of that dreaded white stuff....

You know how much I hate snow......in case I forgot to tell you.....YUCK>....

Oh, Pumba....we are in for the same storm! They are forecasting 8-14 inches of that awful white stuff now! Just when our property was finally rid of most of the stuff from the last storms!


Melinda, I finally got my act together and PM'd you the list of birthdays I assembled months ago during chat.


Sandy, MOO HOOTY to your DH! Hmm....a double cheeseburger sounds delish right about now...............


Hey to Moo, Marita, Lil G and the rest of the MOOvers! Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

 

[Sandy321]

Thanks so much for your kind words and support - ran to do a load of wash so we can wear our WISH shirts tomorrow - picture at Boardwalk 9:30AM -

That was a powerful storm - good thing we were indoors, but it hit around 2ish, so I imagine there were plenty of people caught in it at the finish line!!
but as you say Marita - thank God it didnt hit at 9 or 12 even - with lightening as it was - what would they do?? Its too dangerous to be out in THAT lightening - so thanking God for hearing our prayers - miracles are here!!

Pumba - I wonder if we'll be able to make it home to Chicago??

Yet again, the best laid plans - the boys left for Champagne, earlier than I thought, and fdil is working until ten pm! THERE IS NO PHONE - I cant think or worry about dd - I knew this was selfish. DS said he talked to the neighbor and dd will be there??? or have access to their phone?? I dont really want to know as I cant do anything from here...

Lil G thanks so much for your words!!

 

[UtahMama]

Lil G- You are such the good infant nutrition expert, really! I totally agree 100% with you on that. I'm not sure about the other expert you mentioned I agree with your opinion on Britney too. I feel for her in a way. I feel like it's the Paparazzi bombarding her every minute she steps outside her house PLUS she wants some attention. The negative kind will do. They get all up in her face, drive too close to her, etc. For that I feewl badly for her, but, she is making some really bad choices. If she'd listen to me (and why shouldn't she?) I'd advise her to take off for a while. Take some parenting classes, and sober up. She must have a good heart. She must be a good person down deep. She just really needs a nurturing therapist and get her life back in order. Crap, she is on the cover of most every tabloid in the magazine racks.

Sandy- don't worry about your dd. She's all hopped up on junk food and was up all night playing Guitar Hero...she's fiiiine! (probably).

Moo- did you say ice cream with Kalhua on top? Ohhhhh yummmmmm. ((bad me!))

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Well, finally When Harry met Sally is on today.

Love that movie!!

Where are PJ and Celery????????? Hope they got home/moved safely.

 

[NAB]

Sandy-- I knew you could do it. I agree with the others. I was choked up too when you got your metal that you so deserved. and you husband made it too!!! Hope you guys are not to sore to enjoy the rest of your stay!!

Lynette and Pumba-- hope you don't get to much snow. They are calling for some here too. This year the wind is so bad. And we haven't seen the sun in so long.

Moo-- How was National Treasure. I want to see it but I'm afraid they showed all the good parts in there ads. Sequels usually are not the best.

Lil'g -- so true smile and the world smiles with you!! In my case if I am smiling hubby thinks I am up to something.....

Celery-- are you all moved now? Do you have internet there?

Great Wolfe Lodge was great even if I had to wear a bathing suit. Hannah actually jumps up and down when I say I am coming in with them because I usually just sit and watch while hubby is in the pool with them.

We even got upgraded to a Kids Camp room, meaning we got bunk beds that were in a little room make to look like a tent and they had there own tv in there and murals on the walls.

Also took the kids to see the Niagara Falls which Hubby and I did two weeks ago for NYE. Didn't make it back to the casino though...darn.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Nabbie, welcome home!

Glad you had a great weekend. The Lodge sounds awesome. It has an impressive ring to it: Great Wolfe Lodge........... I need to get away, sigh!

 

[NAB]

Well all as you have to do is go to Wilderness Lodge and you have Great Wolfe Lodge.

The rooms are decorated with the same kind of borders and lamps etc. The lobby does have a grand fire place, and a giant tree and moose that talks to the kids. And of course a huge indoor water park. My favourite was the wave pool, it makes huge waves every 10 minutes.

Marita-- where would your dream vacation be? Don't say your couch....
