Not sure I'll be there tomorrow. Rick is still under - every time they try to bring him out he seizes which is not good. He is on ANTI seizure meds. Gave him insulin today which means kidney's are on way out...no responses from him at all. EKG is tomorrow since no EKG staff there today. We wanted answers today as to if his brain is even still here - won't get them until tomorrow. I'm going to work which is 5 minutes from Kennestone so if I need to leave, I can. Will try and email you from here tomorrow to let you know if i'll be there or not. I anticipate tomorrow being horrible because we'll have our answers.....

am so sorry Christmas was so up and down for you but at least it is over now for another year....sigh.

Oops it is Christmas Day and I just checked this! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Your cookies were awesome - no worries! I didn't share either LOL I brought them to work and had a couple a day - yeahhh no sharing there ha ha ha! Are you going Tuesday night? I think you are out of town right? I can't remember! I have been eating everything in sight. I've been so bad plus Rick (Sandy's soon to be ex) - he's in ICU. Massive asthma attack. They lost him twice and he is on vent but intentionally so he heals. Weaning him off today but he is our Christmas miracle! Doing better and will be cranky as hell when he wakes up LOL

As far as restaurants go, I think I go back and forth between having bologense and trying something new. This time, I think I'm going to try something different...maybe seafood! Ironically enough, we have four cannolis sitting in our fridge now. Cannoli cake is delicious.

Does baking cookies and the chocolate mint bars take up a lot of time for you? Regardless, that sounds absolutely delicious. You should send some up to Jersey!

Bruce's "Santa Clause is Comin' to Town" is my favorite. I actually met Bruce a few months ago...I can't believe I forgot to tell you. At any rate, I listen to Christmas music year-round; the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is a perennial favorite, as well as this "Christmas from the 90's" CD that I love. Listening to EPCOT's Christmas music loop is a lot of fun, too.

email 2 - OMG I've been so bad the past couple days. I think I gained back the 3.2 I lost last week! LOL Everyone is bringing in stuff and my self control has gone kaput!!! I wish Christmas would hurry up so I can get back into serious weight loss mode again wahhh!!! LOL See you tomorrow night!

As far as traditions go, we usually go to Christmas Eve service at church, then out to dinner at this Italian restaurant (to which we only go on Christmas eve). After that, we all open *one* present, usually matching pajamas, and then head to sleep. We wake up early-ish, get everything situated, and then open presents together, then eat cinnamon buns, then head down to our family living in South Jersey to open more presents, have a Christmas dinner, and celebrate my aunt's birthday. We love it!

Hakuna matata! Real life is a big stinker, isn't it?

Very glad to hear that you are all finished with your Christmas shopping! Now you have almost a full week to relax and not worry about getting everything together! Tomorrow, we're ordering a vase of the mural in the Contemporary Resort for my mom. I really hope she enjoys it! (After her, I'm finished with my shopping as well.) Have you been listening to a lot of Christmas music lately?

Your Christmas traditions sound...well...pretty close to perfect! I never thought of spreading our the present-opening so much, it seems like it would make it a lot more enjoyable as well. We also do the annual cinnamon-buns-for-Christmas-Day breakfast.

Hi there - got both messages! Holy cow I've been power shopping since Friday at 8 a.m. LOL spent, spent and then spent some more...I really went overboard which I don't usually do so everybody better be happy! LOL I've been to the Mall 4x since yesterday - I'm exhausted ha ha but pretty much done. I have 1 more gift card to get...and then 1 other thing and that's it. done, kaput, finnesimo'! I can't handle any more LMAO!!!! haven't been eating good but haven't been eating bad either and whatever bad i'm eating...I've been walking and jumping in and out of my car for 2 days straight so figure I'm even ha! I just don't want to have gained come Tuesday ya know? we'll see!

Tristans schedule sounds way too busy for me and way too hard - especially advanced math - yeck!!! I got thru general math II in high school...NOT my best subject either so how am I billing millions a year?? lol

I was going to do cookies for my co-workers and said ________ on it. Not enough time in the day! lol

That sounds more than delicious! (Why am I always hungry when I get on to WDWMagic!?) I need to start cooking.

Sorry again for the major delay- things resumed their normal bout of craziness, but with Christmas coming up, things should start winding down. What do you guys do on Christmas?

Isn't the feeling of getting a package from something you order online great? When I order a book or something, I count down the days until it comes. Thank goodness for Amazon Prime!

I'm tracking but not paying attention LMAO!!! I'll track and just eat what I want so i'm scared for tonight but i'm going...grrr wish i could get my ________ together! lol and I'm still treadmilling so maybe it's just the holiday season that has me all screwy ha ha ha! YES she does have a lot of concerts...between chorus and orchestra i go nuts this time of year...they are ongoing...my address is Lisa Alphen 2876 Carrie Drive, Kennesaw, GA 30144 - now can i have yours please??? mwah! LOL see you in a bit!

Oh I wish I was done! Am just starting and really can't do much until Friday (payday!) but glad you are finished..lots of you - only 2 over here LOL

Looking forward to the meeting..have no clue how I did which tells me it probably won't be great...not bad but not good so not sure LOL either way wanted to stop by and say howdy...and to let you know i'll be there tomorrow. Unfortunately have to race out right after because Lindsay has an orchestra concert at the school at 7 - OMG I hope that is all of them for the holidays now!!! LOL I'm concert exhausted. See you tomorrow!

email # 2- ok missy I wrote you back FIVE days ago!!!!! lol where the flock are you???? wah! now I'm cranky ha ha ha! Happy Sunday. 14 days till Christmas! woohoooooo!!!

Ok now I feel bad because you were disappointed LOL I wrote my note really early hoping you would get it beforehand - I'm sorry! Like I said, I will be there next week and I am staying on track. 3 lbs next week would be awesome for MEEEEE !!! LOL and way to go! I'm VERY proud of you ...you did great!!! Big high 5 and big bravo missy!!! lol I like your goal and think I'll join you. Like I said it being the 2nd go around...NOW I need 4 lbs to this 20 (when in actuality it's 30 but they don't count it cause i dropped out - I was bad! ha ah!) so let's go....20 by 2012 - we CAN do it!!!

Email 2 - Hi there. I won't be there tonight. Has nothing to do with how I've done..I've done pretty good! My problem is $$ AND Lindsay has a chorus concert. Mostly the $$ thing though because it's just so tight right now because of Christmas. I sincerely apologize. I know $13 isn't that much but when you don't have it ...it is! LOL I WILL be there next week because I can write and check and get paid...please do go for both of us and weigh in for both of us also ha ha!!! Actually, I'm thinking of doing the monthly pass come Jan. 1 because then it's done and paid for the month and I can access all the online tools. I'm sorry though !!!

LOL your dad nailed it! Unfortunately I can't be too proud of my team, either. The Giants are 0-3 for the past three games and are going up against the Packers tonight...it's not going to be pretty!

I'm a pretty minimalist shopper...I'll usually leave it to other family members. I'll pick out/buy a gift and someone else will wrap it and such. I've never gone "out" to shop; I usually know what I'm getting beforehand and will order it online.

Well, Christmas and Disney are two of the most important times of the year, so it makes sense that you would be most organized then. How excited are you for next year's trip?

I've never had grape/broccoli salad before, what's in it?

Hi there! I'm doing like you...not bad and not good! lol but better then I was...I need a swift kick in the butt! LOL I have tracked but only 1/2 the time..but that is better then no time i guess ha ha! My computer has had a terrible trojan virus. Sandy has been working on it constantly since Friday. It's a horrible but right now it is "clean" so that is why i'm on. If it detects anything again, I will stop using it but right now it's ok. Christmas shopping? what's that! right now i'm trying to get an advance from my boss cause I screwed up my acct. He will probably help me out. he is good like that. Xmas shopping will be done 12/16 check...last minute as usual ha ha ha! And so sorry about your headache - I am quite sure that sucks big time!

Keep hunting around online...solo trips could go for pretty cheap if you find the right deals! Though it probably is best to keep that money...and trust me, the iPad is definitely worth the money. I've kind of had the kicks to get back to WDW, too. I've been going through old vacation pictures...that's not a good sign! I'm especially craving the food.

Hey! My Thanksgiving went very well. Lots of good food (and in much abundance), and like you guys, no "incidents". I'm very glad that your Thanksgiving went so well! It remains one of those holidays where everything was just right.

I guess "big" holds different connotations, we had the same amount as you did, though my Thanksgiving are generally big on chaos, folks moving in and out of the kitchen, plates getting passed, etc. Nothing too crazy! I fell for the stuffing (and this special recipie of cranberry sauce...so delicious...) and we still have leftovers!

"My" team is the New York Giants...so it looks like I wouldn't get along too well with your husband or kids! LOL

I'm sorry to hear your husband won't be joining you for Thanksgiving this year. Work schedules have lately been very unfair, but I hope you guys have a blessed Thanksgiving regardless. With whom are you spending your Thanksgiving? (And Happy Thanksgiving&safe travels from my family to yours, as well.)

I apologize for not responding earlier; I have been disgustingly busy lately. I just realized that I haven't posted on forums in over a month, but it's a nice break. For Thanksgiving, we're spending it with family from North Jersey, which is a nice big family event. It will also be my half-sisters' first Thanksgiving with us, which will be something to remember!

Howdy Ho! Just stopping by to wish you and the family a wonderful week and a Happy Thanksgiving We leave for the airport around 11 or so tomorrow a.m. - not sure how things are working between customs, layovers, what airport etc etc so getting there 2 hours early. It's going to be slammed so maybe even 2.5 hours prior - if we miss our flight I'm screwed because I don't have the money to fix missing it LOL I haven't done squat yet...not packed, pulled suitcases..NOTHING! I'm so bad! Usually with Disney I'm packed 3 weeks ago LOL I'll be scrambling later I'm sure...

Anyways I think you are traveling so stay safe and warm and Happy Turkey Day! xx

sounds like you are having a rough one - week that is LOL between food, WW, kids, vacation, mom, etc etc ...so sorry! It will and it DOES get better as you know! I'm not sure where I'm at weight wise but like you say, we'll find out tonight! LOL hey you know - it's ajourney. we can't be perfect all the time although some of us come close wink wink ha ha!

we leave sunday and i'm hyper ventilating LMAO!!! linds is NOT interested but i'm hoping when we get there she will be..i mean COME ON LINDS! lol

note to you...I haven't talked to my female parental unit in 5 years LOL
