Team 6 - Team Ohana - Check in and introduce!

[Worfiedoodles]

Here is my Bandana List...

Jeanne
Jen
Mel
Corinna
Nancy

Denny and Jim - DO YOU WANT ONE? It's not too late, just let me know. I won't bring any extra's to the start unless I am told to.

Debra - I have you down for a Bandana after the Minnie.

ANYONE ELSE? Let me know so I can get the correct amount of fabric before it's all sold out.

Is this just for the Minnie? Will we have another design for marathon weekend? I would love to have something Team Ohana for marathon weekend, but I don't want to stress you with making a pile of things...

I have the artistic talent of a gnat, but I'm happy to contribute in whatever way is most logical.

You guys are going to be the sharpest Team at Minnie!

Maria - Anyone who is not at the Minnie can also get one. I will get those out after the Minnie so you can look at it for inspiration or wear it for a local race to remind you of your cousins! Do you want 1 or 2?? I can PM you for address and payment.

Anyone else that wants one... just let me know. I will make more after the Minnie if there is a demand. I hope I they lots of fabric for us!!!

Hi Jen,

Please do pm me, I would be happy to pay for 2 bandanas. I'm not sure if I can actually get dh to wear his, but it's worth a try.

Thanks!

I hope I catch everyone before this weekend:

TO THE MINNIE/OHANA CONTINGENCY: GOOD LUCK & HAVE FUN!!! AND REMEMBER, I CAN'T BAIL YOU OUT IF YOU GET INTO TOO MUCH TROUBLE!

Corrina: Good news on the Giardia/ELISA test. Get to packing, you're going to the Minnie!! (Don't you feel like you're in a Superbowl commercial?)

Jeanne: Thanks for being the Big Kahuna on all of this--the team thread, cheering us all on, and organizing things. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics!

Mel: Good luck with the upcoming faculty interview, and you rock with the Minnie transportation. Say, did you get anyone to volunteer to start the weekly thread? I don't remember. I can do it if no one's volunteered yet.

Jen: They're beeyoootiffful! I'm definitely in for a bandana--and it's just a bonus that they look so good. Actually, could you make it two bandanas? PM me after the Minnie and we'll arrange things. Thanks so much for putting them together.

And a big to Mel, Nancy, and Corrina for their great ideas to and how to 'represent" Ohana at the Minnie!

Nancy: It sounds like you have that travel wardrobe down pat! Your pre-trip plans that only women know about? It made me laugh...knowingly!

As for me: I'll be anxiously awaiting your RRs when you get back.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I wish all my Ohana cousins could be there.
I don't leave until Friday morning, but as Nancy alluded to, there is a $#*!load of stuff that needs to get done between now and then. I got my new camera on Monday but they sent me something completely different from what I ordered (not even the same brand) They promised to ship another one out right away but it's coming from CA and I have a bad feeling about this.
I really wanted it for the race!

I will go and freshen up the Ohana totals from last week some time today. I won't be able to post any of this week' s stuff until next Wednesday, but alot of us will be gone anyway. At least we should have a lot of double miles for the 5- and 15-Ks

I know someone is having a birthday celebration while we are all away. I had it on the master list, but I'm afraid I may have thrown it out when they did the updated version. I'm thinking it's a 5/5 birthday, but I can't remember who! Please help!

that's it for now....gotta get back to work!

 

[jeanneg]

Just found my master sheet.......it's Jen, but not until 5/15! WHEW! There are also alot of people who never told me their birthday, so if you're one of them, please let me know!

You say that like there is even a remote possibility I would remember if I told you my birthday or not

We should probably all just chime in with the dates so you can make sure your list is complete.

I'm 6/8/68 -- Yes, I am one of the Turning 40 in 2008 crowd!

[Jen117]

Oh Yah... Don't forget about me!!!!!!!! I am past the half way to 40 now (36).

 

[padisneyfan]

Morning everyone. I am off today to get all those things that need to be before a trip completed so maybe I won't be such a b***ch tonight.

Boarding passes are printed. Need to get to Kohls to spend my $20 I earned last week and I have an idea what I am getting so hope not to be there long.

Jeanne-- The dates are up for MNSSHP along with the price which has increased. We can talk about it over the weekend.

Debra--- I just saw on the news that Pittsburgh is the sootiest city, but not the most polluted. Loving how well the Penquins are doing.

Did a slow 2.5 mile walk last night my last one before the Minnie except for the Parks.

Looking forward to meeting my Cousins.

All your well wishes from Team Ohana will get us to the finish line.

Nancy

Good Luck to you NANCY!!!! Have a ball!

Beth

 

[Dennyha]

Denny and Jim: PLEASE say you want a bandana! We gotta let the world know that not all the cousins are female!

Well, I would LOVE to wear one, but I'm afraid I'm reading this way too late. I hadn't seen this earlier, or I would have opted in to "show myself as one of the cousins". I think it's great for Jen to put this together.

I'll look for the bandanas tomorrow.

Hi Everyone (well, everyone not at WDW)!

I am glad to say I'm finally back on track with 2 workouts in a row. I just have to keep it going this week. My eating has been pretty scary, I guess I thought I had to eat all the calories to walk the Minnie, even though I wasn't going to be there

I hope everyone Nancy, Jeanne, Jim, Mel, Jen, Corinna, Denny and anyone else I missed! is enjoying their time in WDW, and I can't wait to read all the reports!

Beth and Debra -- Hope you're having a good weekend. It's very quiet around here. I have a Celtics game to watch this afternoon, and I do it guilt free 'cause I was on the TM before 8 this morning!

Maria

Hello cousins,

I've been MIA for a few weeks now, preparing for WDW, being at WDW, and then recovering from WDW! We had a great trip and didn't want to come home to real life. My two older kids (DD8 & DS6) were even brave enough to try some big rides, including Everest and ToT ! And Debra, before you ask, no I wasn't brave enough to do ToT. Maybe you can convince me in January!

I hope that everyone who ran/walked the Minnie had a great time. I'm looking forward to hearing the stories.

It's been slow-going for me as far as getting back into a routine of running and not eating junk. Boy, do I love WDW vacations - where you walk miles without realizing it and where calories don't count. OK, I might have made the second part up...

I hope that all is well with my teammates. I'm looking forward to having some time this week to catch up with everyone.

Have a wonderful week!

Hi cousins! I'm back home safe and sound after an amazing Minnie weekend. The Ohana bandanas are so cool and really distinguish our teammates within the WISH community. I'm going to write up a report just as soon as, you know, I can get to it - I haven't even looked at any photos yet! Anyone else home yet?

 

[Dennyha]

M'Lisse and I got home last night.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Hi Cousins!

I had to fight myself to do last night's workout. I even cut it down, but at least I did half an hour...

Still working on the eating. I have to learn to be firmer in my resolve.

On the bright side, I get to order pants in a smaller size today. It's not the size I was hoping for, but it is smaller. I guess I am slowly getting there. Oddly, the training does not seem to be the magic bullet I was hoping for

I have to go on the thread and read all the Minnie reports. I know Team Ohana was well-represented, and I hope you all had a blast!

I made our reservations for marathon weekend at CSR. We've never stayed there, but it looks really peaceful and restful. Since we won't have ds with us, I'm looking for more quiet, less chaos!

Denny and Corinna -- Glad to hear you and M'Lisse are safely back!

Julie -- I think the junk is the hard part -- weaning myself off that is. Once I give myself permission to eat it, it's hard to go back. I think I'm carb-sensitive, and not the good kind of carbs. When I overload, I wake up in the middle of the night starving. That is not a good sign. So glad to hear you had a wonderful time! Welcome Back!

Beth -- I bet you're lonely and missing Nancy. She does realize she has to come back, right?

Debra -- I hope the home search is going better. It is very stressful, but I'm sure you will have a good result in the end.

Ok, Team, everybody have a fabulous day, and meet all your goals!

Hey Cousins. We got back yesterday but I am SWAMPED at work. I will try to post a race report later. It was great fun and I wish I could have stayed longer!!

 

[padisneyfan]

Hi Cousins--- It was so great meeting so many of you at the Minnie. Got back late last night and I'm at work today. I had a great time and had a good race finishing in 2:16:10. Jeanne beat me finishing in 2:16:09. And I thought we crossed the finish line together. She and John are still at WDW and won't be back until late tonight. I'll let her tell "the story" of our entertainment on the race course.

We had a wonderful evening at V&A to celebrate our anniversaries. Her and I had quite the buzz on after dinner from the wine pairing. I'm amazed they let us into MK for EMH. Our adult children were so pround of us.

No training tonight as have to pick up the dog and go to the grocery store. Hope to do something on Wed.

Nancy

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Nancy and Jen (and all our other Minnie movers!)

Back!

Jen -- hang in there, I'm sure your workload is ridiculous after the brief time off!

Nancy -- I know for a fact Beth is thrilled to have you back, and so are we!
I want details on this V&A dinner. I know you have stories to tell about the cuisine and your debauchery!

That reminds me -- where's Debra? No one appreciates debauchery quite like she does

Rest up and relax after your accomplishment!
Maria
