Who feels like a Thread-Killer? Part 6

[tinknutt]

Hi All

Colleen, glad you found the bucket, and thanks for posting the pictures. We enjoyed the company and would love to have you for longer. You have a very nice family (that I've met so far). Your puppy is sooo cute!!

Robin are you home yet? ......

Kim, I've gotten away from the WW and am now using Calorie King....basically the same thing eating right/portions, just a whole lot cheaper. Their on line site is only $39.year!! And $29. if you get the new year special!!

Betsy, how are you and your new puppy? How early does she/he get up?

Cally do you live closer to I-75 or I-95? Maybe we could meet half way for lunch or something?

Tkerbell, what are you up too?

Ophie & TZM so have you made any plans yet? Whatcha doin'?

Ann, I miss you!!!

Uraken, what are you doing this weekend?

I have been busy trying to get myself back into the gym... I'm sore everywhere!! Also been busy finalizing mine and DH plans to WDW, we are booked at the WL and have booked to dinners one at the California Grill (7:30) so we'll be there for the fireworks. The other reservation is for Artist Point.....has anyone been there? Heard good reviews on the board. I'm very excited about our trip . I need to buy some bedroom outfit for DH since it is our Anniversary trip (another reason for going to the gym )

Chat with you all later

I haven't caught up on the what I've missed while I was gone but I just wanted to let you all know that we have arrived safely back at home again.

I will catch up and post more a bit later.

ZJO Threadkillers!

TW - LOVE the trip report so far! Thanks for posting the pics! *lymi*

Robin - WELCOME BACK!! Can't wait to hear your trip report, too!

Well, it's been a busy week for DH and I.....it's also dinner time. So I've got to scoot!

Oh...before I forget.....Uraken - good luck with your test!

Really scooting this time................

i am doing a belt test it 3:00 i am a black belt i need to watch out for kicks

ttfn(heh i am bad hehe)

Hi uraken.... how did the testing go

Did you watch out for the kicks

 

[Cruisin]

Some thoughts and replies on what I read during my "catching" up (what a chatty bunch you all were )

Our drive to and from Florida went really well. I drove 99% of the way to Florida myself. We had some drizzly rain in the beginning but otherwise the roads and the weather were not too bad.

TN ~~ thanks for posting the picture of our meet. I really enjoyed the chance to get to meet you and talk with you. You keep working on your hubby to join us on the TKer cruise okay

I agree with TN, we should get at least some rough idea of when the Niagara Falls DisMeet is going to take place so everyone can make their plans. Kim, you are driving to Canada so that you can pick me up along the way BP and PA should come along too, because they are probably the closest ones to Niagara Falls.

Brer_Papa........... where are you hiding out anyways

Oh yes, Belle.... I'm not over 50 yet either so I couldn't have helped with your survey if I was at home. There is only ONE threadkiller who can boast of making that milestone and he has disappeared into the "lurker sweeper" again

Ophie and TZM and Kevin.... glad to see you all stopped in.

Ann- congrats on getting the weight loss under control. Tomorrow I go back to behaving myself and regular exercise. I was just a little bit too free with my indulging over vacation

Colleen ~~ you should really try to get your DH to join in with the TKers cruise. My husband really gets motion sick and he is just fine on a cruise ship. My dad doesn't do boats well either but was okay on the cruise.

Betsy.. I was so very sad to hear about S&P, I'm sure that your house feels very empty without him. I am glad to hear the you have little Einstein to help you get through the hard days. Enjoy your new baby.

Cally ...... I was so excited because the first day on the road back home from Florida we stopped for the night in your area. I searched the phone book trying to find a number for you but you weren't listed anywhere that I could see. I really wanted to surprise you with a phone call but it was not to be

 

[Cruisin]

Colleen, did the parcel with my dance recital DVD's ever make it to the postoffice? Just wondering because they have not arrived yet.

Oh, we had the strangest thing happen to us on the way home yesterday.

We stopped for a potty break at the Welcome center just inside the Kentucky border, at the Tennessee end.

We were headed back to the van and I decided I wanted to get a drink, so I went back to the vending machines. I got my drink and was going back to the van and I'm watching this pickup truck pull in and park beside our van. I think, oh, Ontario plates, neat. I keep walking and all of I sudden I notice the driver and passenger staring at me. I stare back and realize it is our good friends (the ones we cruised with LAST January ).

How weird is that. They didn't know we were away and we didn't know they were away either. We could have so easily missed each other by just minutes, if I hadn't decided I wanted that drink.

The guy told me, he was thinking.... that LOOKS like Robin, wait that IS Robin

We decided to meet up a bit further down and road and we all had a meal together before they continued driving and we stopped for the night.

What a strange and wonderful coincidence.

Hiya Threadkillers! Taking a minute in between the football game. I exercised tonight - good thing - 'cuz I went to the movies and had a LARGE popcorn!

Kim-kimmanee - I wanted to send you a BIG, Cheery CONTRATULATIONS! WEIGH to go on keeping your weight off. Two years is GREAT! Keep up the good work my friend!

Robin - that was a neat coincidence! Glad you ran into your friends!

Well, I'll scoot for now! Take care ya'll!

 

[TKERBELL]

Crusin - Welcome back Can't wait to hear more about your trip....

Uraken - How'd it go - did you get your black belt? Did you watch out for the kicks??

TW - Thank you for sharing your trip and the pictures are wonderful...

Betsy - How is the new puppy doin'?

Cally, Colleen, Ophie, & TZM -

So my day pretty much consisted of getting all of our ADR's done for our trip and planning out our Disney portion - needless to say WE ARE DONE...Now we have to finish the first leg of our trip and right now we are waiting for the AP codes to go later the 4/13 - I think we may book two adjoining rooms at one of the values (hoping for POP) -

Then I did the unthinkable - something I have not done in....oh about 9 or 10 years - Joshua 4, Elizabeth 14, the boyfriend 17 & I all took a 20 minute trip down the road and went Roller Skating...OMG!!! I had so MUCH fun that we have decided to make it a family thing on Sundays - (Hubby is off playing in a Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tourney about 1.5 hours away and Jeremy 11, and Jacob 9 are at my folks) - They played "Old School" music that I used to hear when I was a teenager going skating EVERY Friday night and Sunday afternoon as well as new music- the ONLY bad thing was the floor was a polyurethane floor ( WOOD is SOOOO much better) but I did find out from the DJ that there is a wood floor skating rink in Hagerstown about 40-60 minutes up the road - I had such a blast - I felt like a teenager again (except with kids - LOL ) - It was great I can not wait to go back again - and what a wonderful workout - I got even more excited when I "remembered" how to skate backwards - we were there about 3 hours and I figured that I skated a good 90 minutes....

Well - I am off to stretch so to fend off some soreness tomorrow (please pass the Aleve) - and I am sure I will be one hurting mama in the morning!!

Have a great night TKer's and to anyone I missed - a great big - HELLO to you this blustery and windy night!!

ETA - Kim - congrats on the WL anniversary that is fabulous!!! KUDOS to you

Success rice! We're headed to WDW tomorrow!

WOWZA! Robin's back and we suddenly have 2 pages in one day! Welcome Home Robin!!! You were missed!

I know, I know it was all thanks to Colleen!!! For posting great pics and reports!! Loved reading and looking Colleen, Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the Congrats. You guys make me feel so happy. I only mentioned it to my kids, you here, and my bro & sil today. I didn't even post on WISH.

Susan, I would love some more info (maybe a link) to Calorie King. Can you chart each day's meal plan/what you ate? While the $15/month hasn't been too bad with WW, I've suddenly hit a financial warning point, and I need to not spend as much as I do - on everything.

TKERBELL, I love going with DDs outings/BD parties to roller skate and ice skate! It's a ton of fun, I agree! I even bought used ice skates for DD & I for this year. She's taking lessons and I want to take her more often, wrist providing. Once your body gets used to the repetition, you won't need the Aleve.

Hello everyone else I didn't address!

Have a Fun Sunday!

 

[KimRaye]

Success rice! We're headed to WDW tomorrow!

COOL!!! ENJOY!!!
