WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 12

[mishoe01]

I'm all caught up reading the thread and this is a busy place

So far I'm enjoying WW and its making me think more about what I'm eating. I weighed in yesterday and had lost 7.1lbs I know the first week is usually the biggest loss, so I'm not expecting as big a number next week; but it definitely felt good. That's the lowest weight I've recorded in the WiiFit since we bought it last July. Just had to share my happy news. Now to stick with it!

SHANNON!!! WAY TO GO!!!

I FINALLY caught up - 18 pages to read this morning.....I thought yesterday was going to be slow due to the holiday (HAH!)

Jackie - glad you got your taxes done (& with more $ back than you expected)

Ken/Shannon - loved the pics - those dresses are beautiful.

Tracy & Lisa - so good seeing you ladies back here

Kathe - glad you got to spend time w/ Sarah & Trevor this weekend.

Deborah - glad you're back & can't wait to see pics.

Nan - how did yesterday go?

Ian - you're always welcome to come do a deep clean at my house

Good morning all and welcome to a new week.

Perhaps we all need to start this week with a little joy, and so, here you are (a slow start, but keep watching):

You know, that's actually the 3rd time I've seen that video and it STILL makes me cry! I can't exactly say why, but it's just SO joy-filled. Ian, you hit it right on the head. Thanks for adding such a bright spot to Monday morning!

Tracy & Lisa - so good seeing you ladies back here

It's been good to finally have some time to spend here! Don't know how long I can keep up with you all, but it's fun while I can! Plus it brings back a little of the magic from that awesome cruise!

Hi Monica:

Thanks for asking, yesterday was pretty good. Not too much drama, but today Paul's mom allready called to see when she can "get the kids" to see them. This is the problem, I don't trust that she will stay sober with them, so I can't make unaccompanied plans with her and them. This situtation rises every 6 months or so, and Paul feels guilty that they aren't seeing his parents. their grandparents....I'm the bad guy. I wish he was the one that would decide to keep them safe

The NCL upgrade fairy just paid me a visit!!!!

I was upgraded from an oceanview (DD 5028) to a balcony (BA 10632)

Great news!!

Is your dad still going? How is the chemo going?

 

[mishoe01]

Hi Maz!

Yes, Dad's still coming along --- am going to try to keep the upgrade as a secret. He finishes the treatments this week (4 more I belive) so 1 week of "relaxation" until he flies out on the 24th.

That was great... didn't Saltzburg have a train station???

Although... my SIL went to school in Austria and she said that they don't really know the movie...

Thanks for that. Just watched Sound of Music this weekend too!




....I did complete my taxes yesterday and am getting back a couple of hundred more than expected, so that was a nice surprise....

Hi Tracy - I'm on my 1st non-Disney cruise in 2 weeks.....I'm excited about being on NCL to see what else is out there, but I'm sad that I'm not doing any magnets for it

Don't go into this telling yourself you'll be disappointed - if you do that, then you WILL be disappointed. Go into it telling yourself that while it's not Disney you can still enjoy yourself. I think the biggest thing for me is going to be that I don't have the same wait staff each evening.

I"d come and serve you drinks, but I'm trying to hit Florida while you are gone...

How did I miss that post?

CONGRATS....keep up the good work!

You were little miss IRS this weekend...

Ohhh Tracy... come and visit whenever you can...it' always nice to hear from you...

Always a tough situation...

Popping in to say hi from work. It did not feel nice when I had to get up and head for work, while Ken and the girls are staying home. But Ken nicely volunteered to do a few loads of laundry if I told him what to wash. I'm always behind on laundry. And he's got Shaelyn going through her bedroom pulling out the clothes that are too small or she doesn't like and so doesn't wear. It should be interesting to see the pile when I get home.

Nan - here's the only positive spin I can think of - at least you should be good for 6months now before she asks again.

Monica - that's cool that you got the upgrade

Kathe - did you get any Easter pics of Serenity?

Shannon, I only got to see Serenity at her house for a couple of hours yesterday as she was away for the rest of the weekend. I will get some pics posted one of these days though Sorry you had to work while the rest of the family got to stay home, but good for them to help you out a bit

It boggles the mind, the extent to which you go to carry on the sad charade. When the truth is that you will be hiding in your house to avoid us.

Well, continue with this fantasy if you must, as I know I am sure of the truth.

OK, here's the question of the day ... I received an email asking me if I would like to earn $200 a month, by having Mrs. Fezziwig be a billboard for the year.

They would wrap the car (similar to the bad girls at the Smart Car party) and for this I would get paid.

Should I find out more?

 

[LuvBaloo]

Ian, it doesn't hurt to get information, and $200 would be nice in a vacation fund.
