Yeah, I'll do a drive by. In some neighborhoods that wouldn't be a good thing! LOL, uh-oh, was that a bad thing to say???

Next week will be my turn to not go to a meeting. I thought about not going tonight since you're not going to be there, but I realized I won't go next because it's Sean's birthday! And I already told him he won't be able to get his presents till we're all home together. My baby is going to be 11.....sigh.....where does the time go??

Omg, grocery shopping is the one type of shopping I do not like! LOL.....

I go back and forth with decorating the house. Some years I do it and some I don't. It would be cool to see how you decorate your house, though.

It's more important to see Lindsay's concert than to go to WW. You can't see it again once the concert is over and it means a lot to her even if she doesn't say anything. Plus, there's always another meeting, right? Have fun and enjoy her concert.

I have been doing so much better this week. I've continued all week, no slip ups.

Today I bought myself a pair of brown leather/suede riding boots! And some black boots with a heel. So cute, I was so excited this morning! I got them both for a about $100, too. You can't beat that. JC Penny had 50% off boots then I had 2 $10 off $25 and bought the boots separately so I could use them. I also got some new jammies. I love jammies. They're not Disney though, they have snowflakes on them. I love snowflakes, fleur-de-lis, Paris & the Eiffel Tower and if I see anything with those things on them it always catches my eye! I recently bought a necklace that has a hlack crystal and clear crystal fleur-de-lis on it! I love shopping......

I had a great day today points wise! I didn't even make it to 30! It's the best I've done probably since WDW! Yesterday was okay. I feel so much better having had a great day though. Makes me ready to conquer tomorrow!

Looks like I'm gonna be busy the next couple of weekends with Sean's soccer, shopping for his and a friend of his birthday presents and I just realized his party is NEXT WEEKEND!! Why on earth is time going by so dang fast? Then there's Halloween and Lee's birthday! I sometimes feel like I want to wake up to Jan.1st tomorrow and skip all this craziness.

I am feeling better, too. It's amazing how having someone to commiserate with helps. I'm ready to be back on track 100% now, too. We can do it, absolutely.

Tristan went to school and I hope he's feeling better. He seemed okay after dinner so I hope this little bug is behind him now. I just hope he remembers to hand in the note so his absence is excused.

I hope the pants work so you don't have to buy any. I'm only buying a few since I'm hoping to lose more. I can't seem to bring myself to buy anyting in a size L, though. I can't picture it in my head at all. My best guess is because I haven't been that size since HS. I'm excited to get to an XL though. Maybe it'll get easier, or at least I can picture it once I've lost more. What do you think?

Getting ready to leave for work. Last night I couldn't fall asleep and didn't until after 2. This morning after the kids left I couldn't keep my eyes open so I went back to bed. Immediately after I woke up I got a call from the HS to pick up Tristan cause he's sick. Headach, nausea and vomiting. I just hope we all don't get it. Nice Monday, thanks. And you wonder why everyone dreads you!

On the good side I got some jeans at Old Navy on sale. I think that's all I'm going to buy since I still have a lot more to reach my goal. I'll be bringing you more pants, too. I'll make sure none of them are petites! LOL....you could always wear them as crop pants! Lmao....

Off to work now......

Even though it wasn't exactly as you planned it still sounds like a nice day out. My family should do more stuff like that but holy cow the hardest person to get pried from the couch is Lee! That's why I love WDW cause we are all out together.

I don't think I'm going to bother at all with any goody bags. For goodness sake the party alone is going to cost close to $250!

Hey, guess what? I finally found Sean's iTouch he lost earlier this year!! I was relieved that it really was lost in the house cause I've wondered all along if he lost it outside of the house. What a relief! Guess what one of his bday gifts is going to be?!?

I made the reservations yesterday for Sean's party. He is going to have a Gamerz party at Brunswick Zone XL. With sports and work I just decided to have it on a Sunday and that would prevent any big sleepovers. Now, do I want to do a goody bag? Well, no, I don't but will I? I'll be thinking on that.

Sean had a game at 9 am this morning and had to be there by 8:30! So much for sleeping in. Oh well, the weather looks absolutely perfect for your outing today, I hope you have a fab time. I am buried in a mountain of laundry since I didn't do any last weekend. Now it's time for the consequences.

I am doing waaaay better this week than last, thank goodness. I wore some new capris yesterday, that I actually thought didn't fit and would have to lose a bit more before I could wear them, and I know I don't want to gain so they don't fit anymore. On track like a train.......

I'm so glad you like the lanyard. I wasn't sure which one to get cause I realized I don't even know who your favorite character is so I just decided to go with a classic, Mickey. You can't ever go wrong with a classic can you.

I haven't done any research yet. I've had a bunch of other stuff to do lately. Most pressing figuring out what to do for Sean's birthday. The kids have both had sleepovers the last couple of years and I'm over that. I think he's going to go to Brunswick XL this year and do a Gamerz party. No bowling just laser tag and the game room. Should be fun.

Had a bit of a better day yesterday, but only a bit. I'm trying get back on track 100% today. I little late since we go the meeting tomorrow but I'll have to suffer the consequences, I guess.

How you have a lot of really cool trips coming up over the next few years! I haven't started my research yet. I'll need to be home with no distractions from anyone to do it. So, with the kids in school and when Lee is working. Then I can devote 1o00% of my attention to it. LOL....

Almost forgot - how long does it take for the glucosomine to kick in? I bought some for Lee today because he said it is his joints that hurt when he walks so I was just wondering so I might be able to give him a timeframe. Thanks!

Wow, that IS a great deal! I have been rethinking our next WDW vacation and the dates. Looks like I'll be doing some research here soon. I was thinking about Feb. possibly. I don't know though. Since I want to go for 10 days and can't take the kids out too many days we may still end up there at Thanksgiving but I'll figure it out.

Didn't have a good day today either, food wise. I almost froze at Sean's soccer game because I didn't see the weather beforehand. Thankfully I ran into some friends and they let me borrow a blanket to use. Whew! The chair cover just wasn't doing the job - lmao!

Omg - me too! Been eating like there's no tomorrow. I think I'm suffering from the "after vacation blues". I'm already out of Allowance Pts. and I even went into the negative with them! I'll get my ___ together though. On the positive side I did remember to get some food for the "Lose For Good" campaign. I left the bag in my truck to make sure I don't forget to bring it.

LOL, I don't like being back in the "real world" I wanna go back to Disney.

Wow, I'd say we both did tremendously good on our trips! I was shocked to hear how much we both didn't gain! Now we just have to get back on track. I had kind of a bad day and ate more than I should but I'll be back on track tomorrow for sure.

How was the Orchestra meeting for Disney? Are you planning on going with Lindsey?
How much for their trip? Tristan's was about $580 and I didn't think that was bad. They didn't stay on property though. But it included all meals except when on the road, their hotel stay and they went to the parks for 3 days.

I bought the WW mint chocolate bars and WITH a $2 off coupon they were still $5.50! Holy cow! I don't guess I'll be buying too much of their stuff unless it's on sale.

Well, I finally finished ALL my laundry tonite. Did I tell you it was over 10 loads? Aaaauuuggghhh......

It was great having dinner all together!! My family enjoyed meeting you, too! That was one of the magical nights we had so I'm very happy we were able to do that!

Hola DFF!! I am so sorry I never got a chance to call you back while we were away. I will have to fill you in on our vacation. The beginning was great but kind deteriorated after Wed. The weather, my health and timing just were not on our side this year. I hope you had a blast though. I kept thinking about you and saw that you had called. Like I said, I'll fill you in on Tue.

On the bright side although I'm sure I gained I don't think it will be massive.

Were you glad to get home? I was and wasn't. I wish we could've stayed but because of my health I knew it was best to come home.

Looking forward to seeing you again on Tue!

YAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

Here we go......

See you DFF at WDW!!

Feeling MUCH better today - Yay! I was tired and worn out all day yesterday so I went to bed early. So, things are better already!

Last minute stuff today. Going to the store after work to pick up a few things and then finish up packing the meds, closing the bags and the only thing left will be toothbrushes and such, stuff I have to wait until tomorrow to do.

Minka goes to "boarding school" tomorrow. We need to have her claw trimmed while she's there. I hope she's okay while we're gone.

Omg - I feel terrible this morning! Ugh. Bad cramps and backache! I took stuff and it's now starting to kick in and give me some relief. Didn't sleep well and not looking forward to the day ahead. BUT, I'll take it all so I don't have to suffer thru it while on vacation! LOL, be careful what you wish for, huh? I def nitely hope you have a better day!!

Oh, I remembered to put your number in my cell last night!

I think I may have possibly made my goal tonight if it weren't for the fact that (and you were 100% right!) a certain monthly visitor came tonite! Um, Yay!? Of course, now my back hurts and I'm feeling crampy!! LOL, but it IS a good thing! I told Lee it's the only time he'll ever see me excited to get it! LMAO.....
