Way Early I know but anyone going on Eastern May 1-8 2004?

Good Happy Monday Morning (is that possible )

I'm exhausted from running around this weekend.

Kristen's cheerleading squad took first place in the Middle School division. They were so excited and the actual competition was not too bad. There were lots of college squads competing, which is really neat to watch. Boy, can the guys on the squads through those girls. Very cool.

Kaitlyn had a 4 hour soccer training yesterday, almost 2 hours from home - so we left early and got home late. I know all I did was drive and sit, but that sure makes me tired.

Ok Ladies - please convince me to join Curves. I drive by one every day to and from work and I always think I should stop in and join. I just need the motivation. The program sounds wonderful. I like the no men, no children and no MIRRORS. Please tell me what you like about this program.

Have a great day everyone!

Tammy et al--

Don't the weekends just seem to fly by? I don't think it's fair at all!

Well, I picked up a few more tee-shirts at DAK this weekend and I'm beginning to think that I'm out of control and am on a tee-shirt buying binge. I can't stop buying them!

I think I'm pretty much set shopping-wise for the cruise. The only things left that I need to buy are memory cards for the digital camera, 35mm film, and some new socks. After that, it's bon voyage Skippy!

Hope you all had a great weekend. Only 32 days!!!

dthogue cruves is worth it. it's a half hour to do something for yourself. I'm kinda shy around new people & they made me feel very welcome. the woman thing is nice but there's no competion between anyone. You do the machines the same as anyone else. You decide how fast or slow you work each machine. I have never felt sore after any work out. You do get measured & weighed(I hate that part) every month but you see the progress. (This happens in private). It's not that expensive. They want you to go at least 3 times a week but you are welcome to go more. Most Crurves have a freebie workout to test the program. Go in & talk to them. Good Luck!

I haven't checked in for a while, so I thought I would say Hi to everyone, and congrats to everyone who has received their docs. Our UPS guy is a slacker, (his last name is Slack) so I knew we would be one of the last to get ours. Our friends who are going with us have already received theirs so I bet ours will be just around the corner.

I do have to question all of you who are dieting and working out to get in shape for the cruise. I too have been in training, but my workout has consisted from going from three meals a day plus snacks, to 5 meals and have doubled my snack intake. In fact for lunch everyday if it isn't an all you can eat buffet, I won't go.

We are almost at a month to go, and it will seem like forever. Even though I have two trips planned before then (Tallahassee and Las Vegas), I am only thinking about the cruise and how much fun it will be.

Tammy, I have a budding soccer star, who will idolize your daughter when she finds out that she plays soccer. In fact that is where we are at every weekend all year long is watching soccer.

Wow I take a day and a half off and it takes me forever to read the messages!

Alice--glad to hear you got your camera issue solved and I for one thought that your idea of buying a nice bottle of vino, some jammies and curling up is a great idea and one I plan to follow this weekend coming up!I'm still ticked off (was going to say the P word but didnt know how it would go over! LOL) that Puke err Duke is in the Final Four! Their no neck coach drives me bonkers!!! And you know I dont think anything would get me to the dentist for real but I can pretend I went right?? LOL

Reine--The weather was yucky and then today it is 65 degrees. It snowed and rained on Saturday and then got this warm today. One just never knows about the temps around here. LOL about you and the Curves Determination! My determination came this weekend when I couldn't fit into any of my jeans (even my bigger sized ones from before I lost weight last summer) so the Gin went into the locked liquor cabinet and the dieting went into full force along with excessive Yoga and working out on the total gym and treadmill! I need to lose at least 10 lbs and I have 4 weeks to do it! I THINK I CAN< I THINK I CAN! LOL

Conny--I hope the friend and the baby are doing well. Only 4 more weeks! Hope the mouth is doing even better now.

Kathy--sorry to hear that you wont be able to join us at POR but it will be fun on the cruise to meet up. I dont know when/where yet for sure..we need to all figure it out soon!

Tammy--Glad to hear the competition went well!! And how exciting that Kristen's squad took first!! I was in drill team and that is SO fun!! Sorry to hear about the drive and soccer stuff but you're such a good mom to do it! I am a terrible mom! My kids dont do anything like that...I just dont have time right now! With Miles in BoyScouts and McKaylee in a church youth group it takes up most of my week.

Jason--cool on getting the shirts I know the feeling..I've done so much shopping this weekend I"m exhausted. I agree with the fact that the weekends go way to quickly!!!

Belle's dad--Sorry to hear "slacker" hasn't delivered your docs yet! Hopefully soon! I have mine but now it's taking all of my effort not to sit down and fill them out...Ryan says not until we are 3 weeks or less out! Why 3 weeks is magic I dont know...but oh well..only 1 more from Wednesday! LOL

As for the working out thing...I'm obviously not doing something right because the weight keeps finding me! I use the total gym, treadmill and yoga combined with pilates, eat small meals 3-5 times a day and drink a ton of water with some ephedra. It's not helping though! LOL Don't forget to look for my Bra at MGM Grand! I wish I had 2 more trips planned beforehand but I dont! Oh well...29 days from today I'll be on a plane right now!

Ok well I'm off to do dinner and homework help!
Heidi

 

[LogansMommy_MD]

Thought I'd pop in and say HI... Finally had a chance to catch-up on the messages, but this message from me will be short. I'm in FULL cleaning mode (have an old college friend coming in this weekend) so I'm trying to make it presentable for him!! Its actually kinda fun and boy does my place sparkle!! (well, not quite, never did, but looks a helluva lot better than it did!!)..

I'm also on a Total Gym kick, Heidi, along with my slim fasts.. I have that $75 bathing suit that I bought that I am DETERMINED to still fit into come cruise time....

Sounds like some of ya'll will be having an awesome meet at POR!! Very cool! Hope you have a blast!!!

Alice - Congrats on such a productive weekend!! That is awesome about the cam too!!

Tammy - Congrats on your daughters cheerleading squad!! Very cool!! And speaking of Curves, one of my friends is in the program (not I, I'm way too lazy! ) and she has done SOOOOO well on it... She's lost not only weight but inches too! So, go for it!


CM_mom - more positive thoughts coming your way....

Jason - Yeah on the new T's!! you're a t-shirt buying fool!! I too am also in need of another memory card for my dig cam... I wanna take LOTS and LOTS of pics!!


Have a great week all.. I'm off to clean...I'm sure I'll be dreaming of toilet brushes and windex tonight...

Ohhh... Is this kinda like "champagne wishes and caviar dreams" from that show???

 

[CM_Mom]

Hi all,

Thanks for all the positive wishes. On the DCL site today they showed 4,5,6,7,9 and 11. That's one more category from last week so I'm hoping that possibly some TAs that had reserved a block of rooms have released some of them.

Tammy, I'm really enjoying Curves. Their website is http://www.curvesinternational.com . I think you can print out a coupon for a free trial week. In addition to the no kids, to guys, no mirrors, I would add no soreness, no sweat and no pressure! They have gobs of fans and you only work 30 seconds at each station so I can get my heart rate up to where it needs to be and work the muscle groups without either getting sore or breaking into a sweat. I went at lunch today and sweated more when I got in the car that had been sitting in the sun than I did while exercising. Also the folks at both the clubs that I've been to are really encouraging...and most of the ladies are in our age group - you know the over somethings and are a variety of sizes so you're not embarrased if you're not pencil thin (and I'm not). I've tried all kinds of other stuff and this is the only one that is fun enough that I think I have a good chance of sticking with it. I'm mainly going to improve my health and getting rid of some pounds and inches will be a bonus.

Also, congratulation to Kristen and her team. How exciting for them. I'm sure it's a result of a lot of hard work. What a great mom you are to make the trips so Kaitlin coud do the soccer training. I remember those days, but DD did gymnastics, not soccer.

Alice, hope your relaxing evening was just that. It's always good to kick back and do nothing "constructive" once in a while.

Heidi, sending some positive thoughts your way as you "get with the program" as my SIL would say. Isn't it awful how those jeans shrink while they're hanging on the hanger? As for the weight, I bet the problem is that you "lose" the weight and you usually find stuff you lose. I plan to "get rid" of some pounds myself.

Jason, congrats on the degrees. I know what a milestone that is. Now you won't know what to do with yourself, especially if you've been working and going to school. It's amazing how much time you have available after you finish the school.

Logansmom, Let's not overdo the cleaning bit. You're going to make us feel guilty. But we did get some stuff cleaned out of the garage and into the attic this weekend so I feel a sense of accomplishment...especially since it's been in the garage since last October!

Everyone noticing how the clocks keep ticking down. I want to put a countdown clock on my computer at work but it's not allowed. I'm making do with a wonderful picture of the Magic that DD took. If anyone wants a great picture of the Magic taken from the tender going to Grand Cayman, send me a PM and I'll e-mail you the digital pic.

Everyone have a great week. Lets hope the UPS man brings docs to those who don't have them.

Reine

 

[conny264]

Yes,I´m doing the semi-happy docs dance,which means i got a mail from my TA,that they arrived there and she will mail them to me.So another 10 days and i have them.

Heidi-glad to announce my friend and her babyboy are fine,it took a little over 28 hours and he needs to put on sme weight before they can go home,but other than that mum and boy are ok.


I´m done shopping finally,the last thing i needed was an extra card and battery for the digital camera,so now I can sit back and wait untill i can open my suitcase and throw everything in.
Also,a little cleaning and washing might be a good idea,but i guess I´ll wait till next week(a little like Scarlett O´Hara-tommorrow is another day).
Bye for now and have a nice week everybody

Conny

 

[Alice Sr.]

I was looking at some pictures of POR last night and it looks great, I checked the Disney site and I think the rooms were $180. Heidi did you use a coupon when you got it down to $140? Our AP's expired in October and we won't buy them again until our next trip. I'm still leaning toward Priceline WDW resort cat. but might stay at OKW on points.

We should have just chartered our own bus to take all us to the port now that would have been a party bus

Curves certainly sounds interesting maybe I'll print the coupon and try it for a week.

Belle and Rella's Dad LOL I like your idea of training - getting that stomach all stretched out for the Disney feast.

I have lost track are we the only ones that are not doing the Doc dance yet?

Way to go Kristen that is excellent. Just keep going to those tournaments and competitions Tammy that's always good for burning a couple of pounds from nervous energy.

Conny so happy the baby and mom are doing well. My nephew just made me a Great Aunt again for the 12th time (don't worry he had help this was his 1st and she is an absolute angel ) And I'm going to be a Great Great Aunt for the 3rd time in June


Alice

 

[LogansMommy_MD]

Alice - congrats on being a great aunt, AGAIN!!
And no, you're not the only ones without docs.. we are without them too..

Conny - congrats on ALMOST getting your docs!

Reine - I'm probably one of those few people that actually ENJOY cleaning (I can picture alot of you out there cringing!!).. but tis true... I just can't stand a messy, cluttered house, although with a 5 year old lil boy, its kinda hard for it NOT to be.. lol.. I try..

Jason - I like your thinking - much more pleasant thoughts for sure!!


Cya in a few....

 

[ScrapHappyMama]

Hi all, just thought I would check in real quickly.... don't have time to get caught up on all the posts right now, but tried to quickly browse them..... glad several of us now have docs.... those that don't have them yet, I am sure it won't be long now!!!!

Can't believe how fast the time is going.... which is a good thing, because work is a nightmare right now and I NEED A VACATION bigtime!!!! Sounds like the ship is going to be in full swing with this group.... unfortunately I highly doubt I will be able to keep up with you. When my kids aren't in the kids club, you will probably find me relaxing near the pool watching them play. When my kids are in the kids club, you will probably find me on one of those comfy deck 4 chairs reading a book, gazing out over the ocean. I am so looking forward to this vacation!!!!

Reine, I sent you a PM with my e-mail address.... would love a copy of that photo of the ship!!

Have a great day everyone,
Linda

Happy Tuesday to all---

4 weeks and 1 day for us! I cant believe we are down into the 20's now for days left until we go! I am starting to go into my month before panic mode trying to figure out the best way to do my packing list and on and on and on... LOL

Tracey--when you get done with your house do you want to come and clean mine??? Windex what's that?? and ewwww toilet brushes. I saw a commerical this morning while I was working out and your post reminded me of it. The Scrubbing Bubbles disposable toilet brush...man what a GREAT idea! I may have to go find me some of those soon! Sounds fun to have your friend over for the weekend! Slim Fast, Total Gym, Power Yoga, Pilates, Ephedra, starving, locking the Gin up, running and still no weight going off and the pants still tight! EEGads! I have my swimsuits that fit me last summer that I loved but they dont look so great anymore!

Reine--I think you're right on the bigger stuff went out with the bigger weight. I went from a size 8 down to a size 4 all last summer and threw away all the size 8 stuff, kept the size 6 stuff and loved the size 4 stuff. Now the 8's are gone, the 6's are tight and the 4's well...just imagine! I'm working out twice a day though so I may not be losing pounds but hopefully soon I will lose inches! We've started doing yoga at night and I love it! I sleep so much better and I think I may be starting to feel a little leaner although not nearly anything noticable yet! It is definitely helping me stretch out a little bit! I will keep the fingers crossed for you and the room coming available for you guys!!!

Conny==Great news on the docs being at the TA! Now only a few short days and they will be in your hands! How exciting!!!! I keep looking at my docs thinking I should be filling them out but I guess I'll wait...what will I do with myself for the next 3 weeks if I already have them filled out?? LOL Congrats to your friend on her baby! Glad they are both doing fine! I have a nephew due in 7 more weeks to my oldest brother and his wife! In their 40's and this was something that was never going to happen and then voila it did! I cant wait! That means a trip to Denver to see the family and the baby in August!

Alice--The disney site prices went up a lot in the last week. Even our reservations went up! I did price out the POR on Travelocity and they show rooms of $94.00 a night so you might want to check it out! Expedia wont let you book unless you book 3 nights minimum but Travelocity will.

I agree about the bus but our kids are so pumped about the limo! LOL I think they are almost more excited about the limo than the trip itself!!! LOL It would be fun to have a party bus though!!!

Well I'm off to try to be domestic like Tracey!
Take care all!

Heidi

 

[saturday97]

[LogansMommy_MD]

Okay, well all you other doc dancers have company!!!!

Found 'em in my door when I got home tonight... twas quite a surprise!!!!

 

[ThreeCircles]

Whoooo hoooooo!!!

Happy Doc Dancin' Day Tracey!

Glad to see that the UPS Carrier finally cut through all of the suspense and delivered the goods! It almost brings tears to your eyes, huh?

Well, I finally broke down and got my hair cut tonight. I was thinking of doing something "different" and was letting it grow out quite a bit but now it's short again. At least it will be cool for the tropics!

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. I got another T today!!!

Jason---OK WHAT is the big idea voting my stateroom for the Meet and Greet???????? But hey if you're buying drinks to bring down there for the whole "gang" why not???

Linda--I would imagine that you will have A LOT of company at the pool hanging around lounging! That is my goal of the whole trip is to put my kids either in the pool, the club or the bed and I get to sit and drink froo froo drinks and sit in the sun!!!

Well I'm off to get ready for American Idol!

Oh, um, you noticed that, huh Heidi?

Actually, I figured if anyone's stateroom was going to be hoppin' it would be yours!

 

[hydster]

ROFLMAO Jason!!! Well I guess if popular opinion picks our staterooms (I'm sure by the time of the meet they will be a COMPLETE disaster which is why I have earmarked extra $$$ for our stateroom host) then that's what popular opinion picks! Just bring some hand sanitizer, an air freshener and LOTS of booze and anyone is welcome in our room. ROFLMAO.....I of course did NOT vote for my cabins but hey whatever floats your boat (roflmao at my own stupid sentence)!

Honestly if people want to come to our connecting "suite" of rooms...it is cool with me..just no balcony to go out onto since we are C~H~E~A~P and wanted the money for booze!! LOL

Heidi aka the lush

Oh yeah and thanks (I think) about our room being hopping....what's the old saying.."if the boat is a rockin' dont bother knockin?" ROFLMAO at myself tonight and I havent had a drink since Saturday night AND I've been doing power yoga twice a day...*maybe it's time for a drink eh?*
