WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 13

[EllaEnchanted]

Um, that was TWO weeks ago, sweetie!

That's sooooo funny.....my how time does fly!!!

 

[Tink rules]

Welcome to Friday!
Your Gateway to the Weekend!

Just a week ago we were preparing to head to Midway to catch a flight to MCO, and the dogs were being spoiled silly by Cheri.

Um, that was TWO weeks ago, sweetie!





I think you'd have most all of us lining up for that job!

.

I hadn't noticed that.

Yeah... and don't ask him what time it is either...

YEAH!!! It's a good weigh in today....4lbs. down. I'm so happy....it's a total of 9 from my first log in three weeks ago even though I wasn't tracking the first week. Next week I'll break the 10lbs mark and be even happier. I'm going in the right direction and I'm doing it healthy. That's got to be good.

John already got the day approved to take a vacation day today so he'll be taking Ray and I'll stay home and pay bills. Tonight we'll go out to eat at Olive Garden and then onto Becky's to watch Star Trek. I'm excited. It's a great reward for doing well. I'll even watch my points at Olive Garden. I may use some weekly points for the first time.

BRAVO DEB


Just a suggestion, and you may have already done so, but check out olive garden's menu online and do some research before you go.

WHAT SHE SAID!!!!

Thanks Michelle.

EEK!

Yeah... I keep telling him to get off his little green furry butt and finish... He's thinking of doing it in semi real time seeing as it's the same week now...

Working on downloading pics to photobucket right now....only day 1 is complete w/ pics.

(have to keep the farce going, you know hehehehe)

Ohhhh Loook!!!! It's Monica's Backyard Adventures!!!!

Sleep when you can and take a nap later.

I did the work and then slept...

I will do so Sistah....as Peg says to Jackie. So far everything I can find says 20-30 points per meal. I figured I would just eat half and doggie bag the rest for home. If I use weekly points I should be ok. I'll track it as best I can when I get back home. Also, I have to order sensibly. I want chicken parm with spaghetti, salad and a bread stick. I have to eat really small portions...maybe 1/3.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I hadn't noticed the condition of the bathrooms in the parks.

On the coffee and cake front, I told Sukie that I was really surprised that there were not more dessert places around the world, particularly at DTD. You know, basically a really good pastry shop, where you can go for a good coffee and some very good pastry.

There's lots of ice cream, but sometimes, I just wanted to sit outdoors with some coffee and cake.

The Fountain Cafe in Epcot used to be mine and John's favorite. We always planned a stop there for some coffee and a pastry while we watched the water dance in the fountain. No more. It doesn't have pastries anymore. I'm not sure if the coffee changed too, but it's not the same and we miss it.

Thanks Mon....you are all my inspiration.

Added it to favorites....no time to read right now, but I CAN'T WAIT. Thanks!

Well done! As I tell people, all I had to do was lose 3 pounds and then repeat it 23 times.

Deb - The Olive Garden has nutritional information online so you can figure out points before you go, and make informed choices.

Here's a link to their nutritional information:

http://www.olivegarden.com/menus/garden_fare/nutrition_information.asp

Oh thank you. This will really help. I so want to stay within my points.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Look what I just found out:

Chicken Parmesan dinner 25 points
Salad one serving w/dressing 9 points
1 breadstick with butter spread 3 points

Total is 37 points. Great! I can eat half and take the other half home. I have only used 3 points today and we'll be leaving here in 45 minutes. I can do this! YEAH!

Hi Connie
How are you? I hope you have a lovely times on this Sunday and hope it will be nice weather ...



Oh Deb, I am afraid that we just booked freedom of the Seas for my special birthday and Ian don't want to do PC again... I know I will miss you all, if I won lottery, I jump in and bring my ladies friend

I THINK IT WILL BE TOO HOT TO SIT OUTSIDE, SO WE WILL BE IN THE HOUSE PRETENDING TO BE OUTSIDE!I THINK WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO BOOK AN EASTERN CARIBBEAN CRUISE ON THE FREEDOM OF THE SEAS. WHEN IS YOUR SPECIAL BIRTHDAY!

Marilyn - if you want Chinese food.....take away or dine in....China One gets my vote. It's over in Champions Gate. Let me know if you'd like me to drop off a menu to you (there are 2 new chinese places closer but they're NOTHING like China One)

Carolyn and Peter like Chinese I think. We like a little. Thanks for the recommendations!!!! We have just been over there to shop. I LOVE Publix!!!

Well done Deb. I'm so proud of you.

Thank you Deborah....I hope it doesn't fit anymore by next cruise time....hahahaha.

Yes, I feel the same way. However we did have a good cappuccino at the kiosk on the way to Testrack at the entrance to Universe of Energy. They did some enormous muffins etc but not the cakes we are after. Kringla Bakery at Norway had some really nice offerings.

Oh, we liked it there too and I couldn't believe it when they changed it to an ice cream shop! It always seemed popular.

I THINK IT WILL BE TOO HOT TO SIT OUTSIDE, SO WE WILL BE IN THE HOUSE PRETENDING TO BE OUTSIDE!

I always read your large print posts in a loud voice!!!

It is still very hot isn't it. Looking forward to tomorrow.

as there are now 2 Publix'.....it's in the same shopping center as the Mc Donald's (not the one with Wachovia).

Talking about them is making me think I may want some tonight

Are you all settled in now?

 

[Tink rules]

Hey Monica...

Our little guy says you are not online... please fix so we can have some good office gossip!!!

Deb, I hope you haven't left yet, but here goes anyway, ask for the to-go container FIRST. Put half in before you start to eat.

And I know that the Venetian Apricot Chicken there is only 7 points. And you can think of me while your eating it.

Epcot is about as good as it gets for pastry.

I had been really looking forward to a cinnamon bun and coffee at the Main Street Bakery in the Magic Kingdom.

I had one and it was awful. I'm not sure what they did to them, but it was hard and not as good as they used to be.

The Boardwalk Bakery is the other good spot in WDW.

Perhaps we're in the minority as far as the coffee and pastry crowd goes.

I do remember once having a fabulous time sitting outside the Boardwalk Bakery just having a really good coffee and a big slice of chocolate/peanut butter layer cake.

WELL IT IS RAINING AND TOO COLD HERE FOR TOMORROW GRRRRR...

Actually my special birthday is in Feb so we booked Easter 10 April 2011 and we want to have more than 2 weeks in Florida if possible...

Something seems to be wrong with photobucket, it won't even let me into my albums right now. Will try again later

Are you all settled in now?

We called in the closer one to check what it sold and it has everything. But, I thought there was a Dunkin Donuts at Champions Gate, and I wanted coffee and donuts for lunch(some Brits say their coffee is really good), so we thought as we were picking up ice cream we had better go after. Unfortunately I was wrong about the Dunkin donuts, so we just bought one from Publix!!!!

What actually is Wachovia? We noticed it and it sounds spooky!!!

We are well settled thank you. Have some UK friends coming over any time. Shame about the weather.

The booklet the owners have here have a good few pages on nasty Florida wildlife. I'm staying inside this little house and netted pool area.

The cakes are lovely at the Boardwalk Bakery, but unfortunately the coffee is just the normal Disney rubbish.

Wachovia is a bank.

There is a Dunkin' Donuts....it's behind the CVS pharmacy - at the light at Lake Wilson & US 532 (where you would go left to go back to I4) I have heard that their coffee is yummy.
