I loved the intros, Quackattack (or should I say Mr. Quackattack)! You guys are going to have sooooo much fun!

I love all the cute stuff you received from D~. Please post a picture of your fish extender when you have it done. I'd love to see it. Do you have ideas for FE gifts?

Those cookies look good, too. I don't remember seeing them in my local grocery store; I'll have to pay better attention when I go to the store next time.

I love your countdown and I'm sure you love to see the numbers going down!

 

[oopsiDAISY]

I am here I made it OH EM GEE!!!! I need that heart beat teatowel in my lifE!!!!!! I love it!!!!!

Cheeky has finally shown up...fashionably late, of course! That was my favorite towel too. I have it hanging in my kitchen right now.

I made those cookies a couple of years ago for Mark...he really liked him.

What fun things you got in the mail from D.

Love your candy dish.

Love to surround myeslf at work with things that make me smile!

Love your cute stuff from D~. She is just absolutely talented!

Those cookies look super yummy!

D~ is the best. I am so blessed to call her friend!

Glad you all like the goodies... It was fun to take some time from "bag making" to make something with my new embroidery machine!

Those cookies are so cute!

And look at your ticker!!!!!!!!!! Whoot - whoot!!!

D~ <---- Who hasn't hijacked an Oopsi thread in quite some time... Hmmm....

Yes, it seems my threadjacking friends are all super busy on their own TR's and PTR's...no time to nonsense.

Oh, those are my favorite type of cookies. Especially when they're still warm. I love your valentines decoration!

Yes!!! When they are warm and oh so soft!!!

We LOVE those cookies!!!! Now that our Jewel closed i cannot find them anywhere!!!

Your office and your desk are IMMACULATE!!! i should take pictures of my office... it's a wreck. LOVE the Mickey valentine box!!!


Going to target at lunch....

I get comments on my clean desk ALL. THE. TIME. Clutter is one of my biggest pet peeves, so I make a point to file and/or stack any projects I have going on in a stacker in my work space, and pull out only one at a time. I may be a little OCD about it...but Admin. Asst.'s are supposed to be uber organized, right?

I will definitely post a picture of our FE when it is finished. Unfortunately, FE gifts will not be shared in any way, shape, or form on this PTR since I have quite a few fellow cruisers following along.

I got the cookies at "Wally World"...so, if you have one of those near you, check it out.

Those numbers just haven't gone down fast enough this cold, cold winter.

So, I have not yet mentioned one of the OTHER things I have been doing to prepare for this cruise. There is a formal night on the cruise, as well as the fact that Brian and I plan to visit Palo, an adults only upscale restaurant on board. I plan to really dress nice for these two dinners. I decided I would NOT buy new dresses for these since I have a closet full of really nice dresses already...dresses that DON'T fit.

My mission: lose enough weight to wear those dresses! This has been my mission since last October. D~ and KRDOTSON have been my inspiration, my accountability, and the ones to kick me in the tail when I am slacking.

Last night our church had a Sweetheart Banquet, and my Sweetie bought tickets for us to go. I decided to try the dresses on...just to see how I had progressed since October. I could actually fit into ALL of them!!! Now, I didn't say I looked fabulous in all of them, but I did FIT into them...zipped! I still have some progress to make to look and feel fabulous in a few of them...BUT, I did get to wear one of them last night! It is made with a more "forgiving" design and fabric.

Please ignore the awful looks on our faces...Charity took the picture before we were ready, but this is the only full length shot I have to share.



A better "face" shot of us at the banquet:



Valentine's Day breakfast for the family this morning:



A most wonderful Valentine from Gabe:



And finally, to all of you wonderful Disfriends:


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!

 

[krdotson]

Well look at you!! Hot momma!!!
You are doing awesone with your plan. Keep up the GREAT work

 

[krdotson]

[DMGeurts]

Oh wow... Look at you!!!! You are so awesome, and look so fantastic! I am so very proud of you... I think you may need a new dress, because these will be too big...

D~

 

[disny_luvr]

WOW! I think you look great! Kudos to you for sticking to it and fitting into your dresses.

We ate at Palo and LOVED it! We had a perfect table overlooking the ocean and the food was amazing. Definitely try the chicken parmesan.

Yes, definitely don't give away any hints to potential FE gifts. I wasn't aware fellow cruisers were following along. I've already decided what gifts I'll be giving for our next cruise, now to just pick the cruise we'll be taking next.

 

[FeFeMJ]

I think you look beautiful in that dress! I have a similar goal, except I'm trying to lose enough that I have to buy a new dress.

 

[KatMark]

You are one hot lookin' momma! Good for you.

In honor of Valentine's Day this month, we had a Lady and the Tramp movie night. The Quackattack Family joined us once again, and fun was had by all.

Invitation:



Decorations:



The meal was served in courses, and I was a bit remiss in taking food porn pictures. No worries, the only thing I did NOT get a picture of was the first course: Italian Style Wedding Soup. But it was tasty and looked pretty in the bowl with some fresh parmesean sprinkled on top.

Food photos will be a bit dark since we dined by candlelight.

Second course was Caesar Salad:



Third Course was Spaghetti and Meatballs:



Can you tell from the photos that I had already started eating before remembering to take a picture? Yeah...

Our activity was plaster "paw"prints. The kids made homemade plaster and did handprints. They made the biggest mess...but had lots of fun.

Gabriel just being goofy Gabe:



They used a wooden skewer to do names and designs in the plaster:



Pretty girls, sticky fingers:



I didn't get any finished product photos... I was so not good on the picture taking this night. Sorry!

But I DID get the most important photo of all! The Quackattack family made dessert, I HAD to get a picture of it before it was served, becasue it was so pretty...

Italian Cream Cake:



It was DELICIOUS!!!

Once again, we did not draw the next movie theme from the jar because we will have another holiday themed movie night next month...

 

[Pluto0809]

Hi Connie! I'm back on the DIS and trying to get caught up everywhere. You look fabulous in your dress for the sweetheart party, way to go!

Oh man, that food for the Lady and the Tramp night looked yummy! I love Italian wedding soup!

 

[KatMark]

What a fun movie night. That cake does look good. It would go very well with my Starbucks right now.

 

[krdotson]

Yum! Now I have a craving for spaghetti and meatballs.
Looks like a wonderful evening

 

[quackattack]

Good Morning!
Just wanted to say that QuackAttack is still here and did not get lost down the latest Tennessee sink hole. Planning to catch up our PTR this weekend.
Warning: I am not as creative as DH.

 

[Chicago Mo]

Another amazing Movie night!!!! SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!

pictures are always First!!! Geez

SO next month is one of my FAVORITE holidays! St. Patrick's day right?!?! Darby OGill?!?!?!

I have missed you!!! I had been remiss in keeping up with your TR, but I am caught up now. Gotta keep up, because there will be another one starting soon, too!

Can you believe I had never tried Italian Wedding Soup until I went to BFF's house for crafting over the holidays? Let me tell you, I am HOOKED now! I get a can of that stuff every week to bring in my lunch now!

What a fun movie night. That cake does look good. It would go very well with my Starbucks right now.

Yes, that cake was a weekend downfall for my diet plan... Starbucks and that cake WOULD be delicious! Our town is FINALLY getting a Starbucks in the next few months, every excited!

Yum! Now I have a craving for spaghetti and meatballs.
Looks like a wonderful evening

I had tried a new meatball recipe, and it turned out SO GOOD, we have decided it's a keeper. I actullay put the leftover sauce and meatballs in the freezer, and this week we are having Meatball Subs with it!

Good Morning!

I wanted to tell you, too, to feel free to chime in and add your own comments and observations on any of the movie nights you all come to. Bring your own camera next time, and we can have it all from a different perspective!
