VAl, thank you for posting on my journal. When I get some time I will peruse yours.... you have a lot more entries than I do!

Hey Val!

I've been the boards because my Turbo Lister is still down and I am too nervous to watch election coverage. Anyhow, here is a new Disney related project you might like to try out:

My kids are going to have fun with this one! Have a great Wednesday!

Hi Tracy,
That is such a cool idea ! I'm sure my DS will love doing this with me. Thanks so much for the link .

It's confession time. Yesterday was BAD in terms of eating for me. I need to do better . I will up the water for the day and step up the exercise. Maybe a family walk should be in order today. After all, we should all start getting our legs in shape for Disney.

Those are my goals for the day .

Hi Val,

I like your goals for today. Yesterday was hard for lots of people. There was so much to do and so much tension over the election. Today is a new day, and you will achieve all your goals.

Take care,
Beth

Okay Val, just put yesterday behind you. Today is another chance to do better. I am sure you will get right back OP!!

Have a great day!

I'm back,
Well, I never did get to have that walk the other day . A mom called and asked if I could sit "for a couple of hours". The child came over and was supposed to be picked up around 4 - 4:30. Figured we would walk after that. Well, long story short, he wasn't picked up until 11:00 p.m. . I would have taken him with us but I didn't want to leave the house in case the mom showed up. It all worked out in the end and I even got paid extra but it still killed my plans. Then Thursday it rained and yesterday was freezing and WINDY like I've never seen.

Today is very nice though . We are taking DS to see The Incredibles and then I WILL walk with or without DH .

My computer has been acting up lately so if I disappear for a few days it's probably crashed . Hopefully, that won't happen.

My computer is acting up too......so frustrating. Have a nice walk and a good weekend.

Val~

You're going to be in the teens for your WDW vacation! Woohoo!

I think we should have a computer bashing party. Seems like a lot of people are having problems lately. Gotta love technology, huh?

Have a great weekend and please let us know how you like The Incredibles.

Tracy

Hi Val,

So how was the Incredibles? We're going on Thursday. I'm so excited. I need my Disney fix.

I'm glad you got paid extra for the extra work you put in. I can't believe that she didn't at least let you know what was going on. I find that rude, and I would be frustrated and angry. You are a better person than I am Val.

I hope your computer magically fixes itself.

Enjoy your Sunday,
Beth

Hi Val!

I took DS to see The Incredibles yesterday. Wasn't it fun??!!

I hope your computer didn't crash! I think we'd ALL like to do that at times!

How is the exercise and healthy eating going? Good I hope!

Have a great Monday!

TTFN-
Sharon

Hi everyone. Thanks for stopping in.

Beth, you must have some kind of voodoo power because my computer pretty much did fix itself (hooray ). Now I just hope it stays that way . I should clarify that the mom I was talking about in my previous post did call but she didn't call until almost 7 p.m. and by then it was too late for walking. I don't want you all to think these people are totally walking all over me (although if it was me and someone had my child I would have called before I was late but maybe that's just me ).


I got plenty of exercise this weekend. DH and I raked and bagged 45 bags of leaves . My arms and back are a little sore but in a good way.

The Incredibles was wonderful. It was very long but my DS did great with it. I really could have used a potty break halfway through but I didn't want to miss anything . I highly reccomend it for kids old enough to sit through an almost two hour movie.

I have been doing so so with the eating. We did have fast food once this weekend but that is still a vast improvement on the habits of old. Still, I need to do better.

DH took a picture of me that was absolutely this weekend. In my mind, I still think of myself as I did when I weighed less. I need to stop fooling myself and face the truth but that truth just wasn't pretty .

I hope eveyone has a great day. I'll try to get to journals later tonight since I have a kiddo coming in an hour and my house is a mess.

Hi Val,

You know, my Grandmother was a witch, so maybe I do have powers.

I'm glad you enjoyed the Incredibles. I am so looking forward to it.

Great job raking all those leaves. I like the raking, but hate the bagging. I bet the yard looks great.

Enjoy your evening,
Beth

Hi Val!

I'm glad to hear that you liked the movie. We are taking the girls next Tuesday for Emily's birthday.

How are your arms and back feeling today? It's funny because I have been working out since January, but when I rake leaves I always end up sore!

Have a great Tuesday, Val!

Tracy

Did you say 45 bags?!?!

Holy cow!! My arms would be screaming for days!! It would be difficult for me to even blow my nose, regardless of how bad my allergies are.

Wasn't the Incredibles cute?? We really enjoyed it (saw it Sunday). No one in my family noticed it was a little long except for me. I could have used that break as well, but didn't want to miss anything.

WISHing you a day!

 

[toystoryduo]

WISHing you a wonderful Wednesday, Val!

Hi Val,

Finally stopping in. I feel so bad - been gone too long but hopefully this will be my week to get back on track......I've been so busy with wedding stuff.

Hope all is well with you - Have a great week!

 

[vald1977]

Hi all,
Thanks for stopping by. Less than two weeks now and I'm going to Disney World ! I am so excited I can hardly stand it sometimes . Sorry I haven't been here for awhile but I have been babysitting a lot (feast or famine you know).

We woke up to SNOW yesterday. DH had to take our 45 bags of leaves to the transfer station in it. Today we are headed to The Disney Store to see if I need any last minute items. DMIL thinks this is nuts since we are going to Disney and I want to shop here but I love picking up clearance items. Over the past year I have picked up DS about 6-7 t-shirts for vacation at 2.99 or 3.99. Can't beat that price!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday !

I just realized my post has nothing to do with healthy living . Sorry about that. I have been doing pretty well with eating and fair with exercise. Water needs improvement. I'll work on that this week.

 

[wilderness01]

Sorry about the snow. It is pretty that first time though isn't it?

Going to the Disney store is a good idea. I'm going to try too. Have you started packing yet? Hopefully it is warm when we're there. Are you wearing anything special to MVMCP on the 5th? We've never been so we don't know how festive people get with their attire, i.e. Christmas hats, sweatshirts, etc. Warm I suppose will be the key. You never know how the weather will be that time of year. Have a good Sunday.

Hi Val,

We had some flurries Saturday night. Fortunately, it didn't stick. It is pretty, but I'm not ready for snow.

Val, you are not crazy to go to the DS before your trip. I picked up a Tshirt on clearance there for Katie. Out trip isn't until 12/05! Get the bargains while you can.

I hope you had a great weekend.
Beth

 

[geetey]

EEK! So much talk using the "S" word!

You HAVE to shop at the Disney Store before you go! How could you stay away? It is like a teeny taste of what is to come! Plus, you need a shirt for each day, depending on the park or characters you are going to see. See... I totally understand going to the DS.

Only two weeks to go!!! I am excited for you!!!!!!!!!
