I finally made it to Micheal's today and this is what I got.

The Toy Story pouch is for Dallas to keep his DS games in and I got one of each of the lanyards they had. I just couldn't pass them up for $1 each. I tried to find a Princess Tiana lanyard, but they didn't have any. I looked in the dollar bins at my Target today and they didn't have anything new. They did have all the Mardi Gras stuff 90% off, but I threw away a whole bag of Mardi Gras beads today.

I have to work the next two days. I hope everybody has a good week .

wow Dana you got some awesome deals i love the different lanyards-- and the toy story pouch is so cute thats good idea to get that for dallas to keep his ds games in I am going to have to go to michaels and check some stuff out hope you are having a great week

 

[deslynnpatterson]

aww congrats to Amanda she is beautiful!! I bet she is so excited about graduation Also i saw you got shape up shoes--- i was interested in those-- how do they feel on? are they comfortable? I really want a pair!! I just want to make sure they feel good one

 

[cinderella crazy]

Wow! Congratulations to Amanda!

What exactly are these shape up shoes? They sound familiar.

I know how you feel Dana. Some weeks I work my butt off and I don't lose. It can be frustrating. Hang in there! You'll eventually start losing again.

 

[MaryAz]

What a beautifu pic-a big congrats to her!
I hear ya on the weight loss-I have been stuck for a few weeks now, hang in there!

 

[MHTeacher]

I had a lot to catch up on, Dana!, but I think I've done it.

YAY for getting down to Disney a day early. We did the same thing last May---drove down in one day and stayed off-site that night. We got up the next morning and made rope drop at AK. This way, you'll be ready to go full steam ahead on your first day.

Love all your travel items , socks, and especially your lanyards. Our Michaels closed several years ago.

I know you are so proud of Amanda, and you should be! College graduation is a big deal!

 

[racefanof88]

Wow Dana, just WOW!!!! She looks awesome!!! It's hard to believe they grow so fast!! One day you're changing their diapers, the next, well.....they're GONE!! LOL Crazy how that works!

Thank you girl . Yeah, I know Christie, I feel so old....... The funny thing is she looks like she is about 12.

She is a beautiful girl! and I know you are one proud momma!!
I wish Gwendolyn was graduating this year...that's what happens when you change your major three times ugh!

Congratulations! Amanda!!!

Thank you Connie. I am very proud . Matt, Amanda's DF, has changed his major and that puts him graduating in 2 years instead of one. His major was something to do with music business administration? or something like that. He changed it to regular business administration and some of the classes are different. Gwendolyn will get there too.

Amanda is beautiful Dana! You must be so proud of her. She has a lot of wonderful things going on for her!!

On the weight loss front don't give up. I was ready to give up last week, but I picked myself up, got really focused and continued on. I weighed in this morning and I've lost 4.2 lbs in the last 7 days!!!! Keep it up Dana and don't lose hope. Your body will get over the shock eventually and it will start shedding some pounds Dana. Joe told me that last week-I REALLY hate to say it but he was right.

Thank you Leanne, I am proud of her .


I know I can lose the weight, but for some reason it is wanting to hang on this time........ I got on the scales this morning and it FINALLY read 2 lbs lighter . I long for the good old days when I could drop weight just by thinking I wanted to lose it. .

Where or where has your baby girl gone? I know that you have to be so proud of Amanda. I would be!

I know Lisa, I can't believe she is grown. I am proud of her .

 

[Mommy2LittleVols]

Amanda is beautiful!! College graduation is such an exciting time. Have they set a date for the wedding yet? And did she ever have any luck with the job hunt?

Congratulations to Amanda for graduating in a couple of months!!! That is just awesome. You must be very proud of her.

Thank you April, I am one proud Mama .

wow Dana you got some awesome deals i love the different lanyards-- and the toy story pouch is so cute thats good idea to get that for dallas to keep his ds games in I am going to have to go to michaels and check some stuff out hope you are having a great week

Thank you Desiree, I am going to head back over to Michael's next week and pick up a few more things.

My week is going pretty good. I have to work this weekend so today is my Sunday .

aww congrats to Amanda she is beautiful!! I bet she is so excited about graduation Also i saw you got shape up shoes--- i was interested in those-- how do they feel on? are they comfortable? I really want a pair!! I just want to make sure they feel good one

Thank you. She is very excited about graduation. I think she is more excited about not having to do school work for a while. She is considering going back to get her masters degree.

I like my shape ups. They take a little getting use too because they make you feel like you are going to fall, but after that they are great. If you wear them all day you will feel it in your legs. They recommend that you not run in them and I can understand that because of the rocker bottoms.

Wow! Congratulations to Amanda!

What exactly are these shape up shoes? They sound familiar.

I know how you feel Dana. Some weeks I work my butt off and I don't lose. It can be frustrating. Hang in there! You'll eventually start losing again.

Thank you Alicia .

These are the shape up shoes.

I hate my scale sometimes. It really makes me mad when I KNOW I have not cheated in any way on my diet and the numbers on the scale go UP . I'm not going to give up though, I want to drop some weight before I get to Disney and eat all that yummy food.

What a beautifu pic-a big congrats to her!
I hear ya on the weight loss-I have been stuck for a few weeks now, hang in there!

Thank you Mary . It really get so frustrating at times, but I know it will eventually start coming off. I guess a lot of it is that my body is so out of wack with my Vit D and testosterone being so low. I have been surprised by some of the changes since I started taking the Vit D and got the testosterone shot. I will get another shot next week and I have been warned about some of the "side effects"........

I had a lot to catch up on, Dana!, but I think I've done it.

YAY for getting down to Disney a day early. We did the same thing last May---drove down in one day and stayed off-site that night. We got up the next morning and made rope drop at AK. This way, you'll be ready to go full steam ahead on your first day.

Hey Michelle .

I am so glad we get to go down a day early too. It will give us a full 7 days in the parks now.

Thanks about the travel stuff. I have to stop buying things now or I will have to take another suitcase just for that...... When I pulled into the parking lot of the shopping center where Michaels use to be I was thinking ours had closed too. Thanks to my Blackberry I found out it hadn't.

I am very proud of Amanda . I had my cap and gown picture made with Amanda because she was graduating kindergarten at the same time.

 

[bouncycat]

Wow, have a good weekend at work, I need to go do an update on my PTR, I changed a few things around, and, I'm gonna be KIDLESS AND HUSBANDLESS for a few days!! Leaving Tyler at my dad's tomorrow, and Chris goes back to miami sunday night!! Get Sami AND Tyler on thursday night after work. oh man, what am I gonna do now?? I guess keep the dogs company??? At least I'll have some warm bodies in bed with me, granted they are fuzzy, but warm none the less!! Had a good week, and we're at 93 days till our big graduation trip. I can't wait. I just can't wait to see my Syl!!! I miss that darn girl!!

 

[racefanof88]

Amanda is beautiful!! College graduation is such an exciting time. Have they set a date for the wedding yet? And did she ever have any luck with the job hunt?

Thank you Julia. You are so right graduation is a very exciting time. I know Amanda is very excited. The wedding date is May 18 of 2012. I know that is a long time from now . She had an interview Monday and it didn't go well, she knew right off that she isn't going to take the job if it is offered. She had another interview yesterday and it did go well, they have a series of interviews and yesterday was just the first. Her boss at the University told her she is going to go before her boss and plead her case to be able to hire Amanda full time. I hope that works because I think it would be great if she works for the University .

Wow, have a good weekend at work, I need to go do an update on my PTR, I changed a few things around, and, I'm gonna be KIDLESS AND HUSBANDLESS for a few days!!

Thanks girl, I hope we have a slow weekend. WOW, I wouldn't know what to do with myself either if I had that much time on my own. I don't like being by myself so it wouldn't be fun. I know you are excited about seeing your friend, and to be going to Disney to celebrate her graduation is the best way to enjoy time with her .

Hope you have a good weekend at work Dana! Hopefully it will be quiet. Congrats on the weight loss! Two pounds is a good week girl!

Thank you my sweet friend. I think I will, we didn't have but 2 deliveries scheduled for today so unless a population explosion happened it will be great . I was thrilled when I got on the scales this morning and I saw the numbers . I stepped off and got back on to make sure it wasn't wrong......

 

[bouncycat]

Yea, I'm gonna go crazy, but at least I got the fuzzy butts to keep me company!!! I'll get Tyler back AND get Sami on Thursday, so only a few days. Not too shabby I guess!!! Anyways, have fun at work, I'm off to the treadmill!!!!

 

[MHTeacher]

I had my cap and gown picture made with Amanda because she was graduating kindergarten at the same time.

It's no easy task to graduate when you've got small children at home!

The wedding date is May 18 of 2012.

A wonderful day if I say so myself! That is the day Kevin and I got married. It will be 20 years this May!

Well, that isn't too bad then. The fuzzy butts will keep you busy if they are anything like my Niko. Have fun working out

It's no easy task to graduate when you've got small children at home!

It was hard. Looking back I sometimes wonder how I got it done. I was working full time, going to school full time and had my family.......was I nuts or what?

A wonderful day if I say so myself! That is the day Kevin and I got married. It will be 20 years this May!

Well, then it is a wonderful day . Hasn't those 20 years gone by in a flash? I know 23 has for me, if you ask Dale he may have a different answer .

 

[MHTeacher]

Kevin and I have a long-running joke for whenever we tell anyone we've been married almost 20 years- We say that it's been the happiest 15 years of our lives!

Isn't that feeling of the scale moving in the right direction great?? Hopefully it's still been a quiet weekend for ya! It's beautiful here and Joe is so ticked that he has to work.
