They Don't Eat Hash Browns in Princessland - May 14 COMPLETE! 2/8 pg. 73

It was so great to meet you and Cynthia also. We had a great time with both of you at Jelly Rolls. Hope to meet up again soon.:cool1:

Me too! I want your visit schedule for the next two years! :rotfl:

Danielle - I "borrowed" your PP pics to post on my TR as a little spoiler alert. That are just so awesome that I had to share.

I was thinking about your foot when I was running today. If it were me I would just focus on all upper body, back, and abd stuff until you can hit the pavement again. At least you will be feeling like you are doing something, even though its not what you want to do.
 
You will be ok! I think the galloway plans don't start till 9/30. At the earliest, some are a full month later. I would cry cry cry too. Actually I'd have a full on melt down as I have my first half on 8/30. I might consider seeing a foot specialist instead of acute care as they are used to this kind of thing and helping folks get going.

OW and I am so so sorry, that is totally something I would do.



I am so grateful for this! I didn't "know" you, or Caitlin and Dawn before this trip but thanks to Mary Ellen I am so glad I do! You guys were MUST meets for her and I am so glad for it.


It was so nice to meet you too. Sure hope we can meet up again soon.
 
You know how sometimes people say "LOL" but don't actually mean it? I'm actually laughing out loud at the pic of Popadon and the bra. Like, full-on giggle fit right here.

Pink drinks are my favorite kind of drinks so the La Vie En Rose slushie looks right up my alley.

SO sorry to hear about your broken toe :( I hope you get good news at the three week mark!

I LOVE that HM coin purse!
 
I have really enjoyed reading your TR thus far & can't wait to read the rest! So sorry to hear about your broken toe. I broke my foot 2 days before Thanksgiving this past year & my first thought was "how will this affect my Disney trips with all of the walking involved?". I hope it heals quickly. My advice- see an orthopedist. I made the mistake of seeing a regular family physician & spent an extra month in a boot because of that mistake. I am also interested in your conditioner + haircolor trick. I agree it fades fast & I'd appreciate any advice as to how to prolong the color. Looking forward to reading the rest of your TR!
 

Crappy deal with your foot, and I know the feeling!! I broke my pinky toe multiple times now, once at night, then danced on it the next day and then went to disney the day after…i think it was actually the trip that i first met you on too! :rotfl: I hope it heals quickly so you can get back to running!!

Great updates! Love all the dismeets and all the pictures, you got some great ones!!
 
I am kind of late to the party, but I am joining in on your TR! Your pops had me cracking up over here!! Cannot wait to here what is next on your crazy adventure.

By the way, I am sorry about your toe. I am hoping it heals fast because no one likes to start over at the beginning.
 
Subbing in a bit late to the party, but being on time is not my strong suit. Laughed out loud many times already. Can't wait to see how the adventures play out. And hope the toe recuperates soon.
 
So sorry about your toe. I hope you heal quickly and can return to your training. (but as a mom I must say take your time and let it heal! don't overdo) :goodvibes

I love the PP pics. Such a great group of people, I know you were having a blast! Fun update!

It was so much fun! I really hope our trips overlap at some point soon.

I know! We have a busy schedule coming up for the rest of this year and next year. :goodvibes

That's totally okay! You are welcome to borrow photos anytime.

That's exactly what I'm going to do. I have to stay off it for just a few days, and then I can start other activities, so I'm refocusing on weights and biking.

It was so nice to meet you too. Sure hope we can meet up again soon.

In February! :thumbsup2

Haha! Nice! Got a real LOL moment for you there. He can definitely do that.

If you like pink drinks, try Nuvo sometime. It's sparking fruit flavored vodka and it is also pink. It's a favorite of mine. :goodvibes

I hope I get some good news too. We'll see what three weeks tells us.

I love it too! I was so surprised when she gave it to me. It's totally awesome.

:welcome: I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

That's exactly my plan is to see an orthopedist in a few weeks. I want to get their word on it that it's healing okay and that I can get out there and start running again.

All I do to maintain my color is to mix Manic Panic in a pretty bright red in with conditioner. After I wash my hair, I mix it in with the conditioner, and I leave it in until I'm done with everything else (you know, body wash, face wash, etc). Then I rinse it out and add a little conditioner by itself and rinse again.

The other things that I do is wash my hair with sulfate free shampoo (loreal makes one called Everpure, which is what I use right now), and I also wash it in cool water, rather than hot. The sulfate free shampoo helps, because sulfates actually dry your hair and strip color. You do have to get used to it though, because sulfates are what makes the shampoo lather, so you have to get used to not lathering as much.

OH, also! I don't wash my hair very often either. Every five days or so. My hair is used to that, so it doesn't need it much more often, but that's a key too.

I broke my pinky toe multiple times now, once at night, then danced on it the next day and then went to disney the day after…i think it was actually the trip that i first met you on too! :rotfl: I hope it heals quickly so you can get back to running!!

Great updates! Love all the dismeets and all the pictures, you got some great ones!!

I remember that! I think it was when we first met each other. I'm being more cautious with it because of my running the Princess Half in February.

:welcome: I'm glad that you're here! I'm glad I had to cracking up along the way. My Pop is definitely the star of the show most of the time.

I definitely don't want to start from the beginning. I know I can already run 6 miles, so if I can get back out there running 4, I think I should be good to go. :thumbsup2

Subbing in a bit late to the party, but being on time is not my strong suit. Laughed out loud many times already. Can't wait to see how the adventures play out. And hope the toe recuperates soon.

:welcome: I'm glad that you're here! And I'm glad that you've already had some moments laughing out loud.

I do hope the toe recuperates soon too.

So sorry about your toe. I hope you heal quickly and can return to your training. (but as a mom I must say take your time and let it heal! don't overdo) :goodvibes

I love the PP pics. Such a great group of people, I know you were having a blast! Fun update!

Yup, that's exactly what my Mom said to me too. :rotfl2: As I was crying about it, she kept telling me that everything is fine and that I'll get back out there. I don't want to overdo it, I want to be strong in the end for the race.

It was so much fun to meet them when we got the chance. I'm so glad that everything worked out the way that it did. :goodvibes
 
Completely agree with that, 100%. The P's points balance also does not agree all the time either. :lmao:

It's kind of a drag! :rotfl2: not enough to justify more points but still...

That has happened to me a few times when it's ready, so I haven't encountered too many problems. We also typically fly in at night, so I would hope our room would be ready. LOL.

We have the opposite problem with the red eye, which is why ready early is magical when it happens.

Right?! She's so adorable and cute. We do have a similar dynamic, which makes it much easier to mesh.

:thumbsup2

We'll be there from November 8 - 15, for the final weekend of F&W. I can't take time off during October (stupid budget season), so this is one of the only ways I can feasibly enjoy it. However, I do like the timing, because the castle dream lights go up at that time too!

that is a great time, best of both worlds! Not remotely close to my dates though, boo

That booth was really good! Stupid stomach running out of room. Bahaha.

It really did taste good! I've just got extremely sensitive buds when it comes to spicy, so it didn't work out in my favor. Stupid sensitive taste buds...

Of course you had a mandatory cronut! The duck was really yummy, I was pleased with it. The gnocchi was super yummy too though. I highly recommend that one.

If it's there in the fall I may get it but I seem to recall a different starch option in france for F&W


I'm going to try my best to pick up where I left off when it's healed. I'm not super worried about it, I think the initial shock of it definitely got the best of me. As a former non-runner, I've come super far and it just felt like such a set back. I do know his plans don't start until September, so I'm sure with the timing it's good. I hate treadmill running though, so during this winter I'm going to have to sign up at the only gym in the area that has a track.

I hear you there. My minor in comparison bunion/blister/callus issues have felt like a training set back and as a former non runner as well I always worry I'll simply fall off the wagon if I'm not careful.

Aaaah! I'm so excited about your half! You're going to do awesome.

I'm excited, and terrified! I need all the time between now and then for more warm temp running, I am simply not acclimated and it's not that warm out yet.

I'm a toe-stubbing expert, this is just the first time I've actually broken one. :lmao:

I end up with bruises all over and no clue how I got them! LOL.

I'm so glad we all got to meet too! It was such a great time. We definitely all have to do it again if we get the chance. Yay for DVC! :rotfl2:

I was such a dingbat just walking in, glancing past Bo like "der!" and then kept walking. LOL.

Not at all, you were looking for Mary Ellen so I could see you not spotting me.

Jellyrolls was so much fun! And he totally is like that. People think I exaggerate but you totally know now. I don't exaggerate his personality at all. :lmao:

not exaggerating an iota

That explains it! She mentioned the share, so I figured it just hadn't come through yet. You'll get them soon.

There are some fun ones, I am looking forward to it

You're so right! He is the baby version of Popadon! Just pulls you in immediately.

ALMOST makes me want a baby around. Almost. Not really. :rotfl2:
 
aw Danielle I am so sorry about your toe :hug:

On the plus side, maybe you can take care of a whole bunch of other stuff now so that when you can run (which is hopefully in 3 weeks) you can totally focus on that and get back to kicking bum!

So great you've had all these DISmeets so much fun! Man, May is F&GF, Star Wars Weekends, and DISers visiting
 
Ohhhh man, I am sooo sorry about your toe! That really sucks! Hope it heals up really fast!
What a fantastic Dismeet you all had! I love the group Photopass pictures, Popadon being a goof as always, just perfect.
And then another Dismeet with Alicia and family! You guys were on a roll! I remember sitting home looking at Facebook and thinking I was the only person from the tr boards NOT at Disney then! :rotfl:
And you got a ride in too. I'm excited to hear all about Star Wars weekends.

Joining in!! :wave2:

Sorry about your toe. As a runner I can understand not wanting to take 6 weeks off, but hopefully it will be better in 3 instead!:goodvibes
 
Just hopped over here from Mary Ellen's TR and am all caught up! I'm loving the TR so far and can't wait to read more. I really don't feel like working today so maybe I'll head over to your January one next. :thumbsup2
 
Score on a getting a room early!

Your dad sounds like such a crack-up! And I love that he totally enjoys DIS meets, just as much as you.

Yay for F&W this year!:cool1:

I had no idea that they had food booths at this F&G festival:blush: That duck looks very delicious!

So sorry about your toe. Aw man, I really hope they can clear you to run sooner than later. :hug:

LOVE THE COIN PURSE!

:rotfl:HAHa I love that your dad is in the middle of the photopass pictures, just being a total ham!

Yay to another DIS meet. So much fun!
 
I came on over from MEK's TR and am so glad I did! :thumbsup2 Great start to your report! Sorry the travel was a mess; I for one cannot wait until the days when we can teleport to our destinations and don't have to deal with the airlines. A girl can dream, right?! :upsidedow

Those are GREAT Photopass pictures of you all, how fun!!
