Hey! Sorry for the ultra-long delay. It's been absolute madness on my end...college applications, weddings, and work. 2015 doesn't seem that far away... I can't remember if I asked, but what hotel is up next for you guys? When's Sean's birthday? If it hasn't happend already, happy birthday to him!

I feel the same way- I used to be posting/reading daily, now I barely visit. I'm not sure if it's just other things getting in the way (because I still love WDW as much as ever), but my mind hasn't been on it as much, I guess. In a way, a break from the madness on here never hurts! We've seen a lot of cooler weather over here, too. Though I do miss WDW weather... What kind of weather are you having in Georgia?

I'm so happy with my grocery shopping i actually watched at kroger an in-store demo for a product LOL

You are right regarding Lindsay and the concert...times I can never get back so I have to go - not like I won't be back next week. Besides she does so well with her cello and she is playing at a high school which is kinda cool too!

Hey don't you LOVE this weather! It's been awesome. Not hot and not cold..I'll take that anyday.

once we get the house decorated and going....i'll let you know and you can do a dark drive by LOL

you are too funny! I hate shopping unless I'm at disney or the disney store LOL and unless i have gobs of money - which is few and far between. I do however like grocery shopping lol

i won't be there tuesday night. lindsay's first concert is tuesday and it's at Kell high school at 645..which means i have to leave with her around 6 to get her there on time. 645??? really??? lol so i apologize and on a tuesday no less but her orchestra concerts are very important to her and since we have so little "bonding" time I have to take advantage of it. BUT of course i'll be there with bells on and a weight loss NEXT week!

decorating the outside for halloween today. we get into halloween and xmas quite crazily LOL people stop and make comments about how great the house looks...you may have to do a drive by missy! lol

Well I did better today but not great. I am SO freaking bloated I'm buying Metamucil tomorrow - that should be good for about 2 pounds LOL jeez I'm tired of it! ha ha!

So is Tristan better now? I feel like it is squirreling its way thru your family....hopefully not.

It WILL get easier...it seems to the more you lose! And once you have good momentum going..it keeps going as long as you stay on track - which I know you are doing so go for it! I see you in the XL in about 30 days missy so get busy LOL

email 2 - ok hopefully TRISTAN is feeling better now! It was nice to see you at the meeting tonight. I was a bit down after weighing in but talking to you always helps put me back on track. I am going to be picture perfect this week no matter what....I need to hit that 20 pd mark (which is technically 30 for me but because of the break...they don't count the first 10 pds...I DO! LOL) - and thanks so much for the pants! I didn't get to try them on tonight..I'll do it this weekend but thanks so much. Every bit helps.

I'm sure I'll be at work from 7-7 tomorrow - ugh! way too much to do you know? wayyy to much! lol

ok ok I see you have had your Wheaties LOL that was funny!!! ha ha! lol

Sorry Sean is sick. Is he any better? OMG I hate when kids get sick and it involves vomiting...it is so sad! Linds used to go thru that so bad you would think she was throwing up with it was all dry heaves. I'd feel so bad for her. Knock on wood nothing major in a couple years except some allergic reactions to what?? we don't know! Her latest weird thing was hives...those little buggers are cool!!! lol you can actually see the "band" move...I thought it was cool. Linds wasn't too thrilled ha ha so lots of benedryl and such.

Rain rain go away...I want to go out and play lol

Wow $250 is a lot but a party is a party and for what you are doing..actually that is pretty good!! I should talk..I take Lindsay out of town somewhere for her birthdays LOL

YEAH to the Itouch! He'll be ecstatic I'm sure. I love it when you think you have lost something only to find it a year or 5 down the road. I did that with a ring once - 5 years later there it was in the seat cushion of my MoM's car....I was 18 LOL

LOVE the weather. Needed the rain. Sitting here eating half a cobb salad from Wendy's - they are SO good!

To alleviate the whole goodie bag dilemma...one year a couple back I just gave everyone $5 McDonald gift cards LOL....and figured I got off kind of cheap because if you add up all the stuff that goes into goodie bags...they pile up fast! lol

Outing was nice. Lindsay was a poopy butt head and decided to not go so Sandy and I headed up 575. By the time we hit the Panarama Apple place...right after it...traffic was dead stopped. So we went in there, I got linds a couple fried apple pies cause she loves them and rock candy...looked at pumpkins...wasn't all the impressed...ate at Waffle House and stopped at a couple smaller places on the way back. Left at 1030 - got home around 330...but it was relaxing

So did you figure out what to do for Sean's birthday? Monster Golf looks pretty cool but once it's done..it's done. You have a great idea with the lazer tag and game room thing. Should be a blast! But are you worried the kids might want to bowl?

Heading North on 575 to go apple picking and such. Should be a beautiful day for it and the foliage - I love when the leaves start turning except the HUGE maple in our front yard..well let's say this damn tree is so big, it takes us all day to rake and bag the leaves. However we have gotten smart - the leaves we rake into halloween type lawn bags to use as decorations LOL We usually wind up with at least 25 bags of some type....big lawn, big tree, big leaves LOL

Research for your next trip already? Just kidding, of course. I think for me at least, this trip was definitely a "learning" trip, and after this, our vacations can only be more fun. How'd you guys like the Contemporary?

ToT at night...I'm so jealous! This trip rekindled my love for Tower of Terror...I was overjoyed that they randomized the drop patterns so each trip was a bit different! (Plus, the people you're with in the elevator really can make your experience.)

The Cali Grill night sounds so perfect.

soooo DBFF lol how is your attention level since the meeting? you staying on track and doing ok? I'm doing pretty good...have swayed a little 2x but just a bit. Nothing catastrophic and probably well within those extra 49 points for the week

Work has finally lulled a bit but then again my boss is out today and i could catch up..maybe that is my problem. My boss needs to be out in the field more so I can concentrate LOL

Meant to thank you again for my lanyard. I grin every time I open my disney curio because there it is..hanging right in front of me. OH maybe that means I need to test drive it sooner then later LOL

How long does it usually take you to get over then, and how've you been feeling kately? I apologize that I haven't gotten back sooner...things started hitting their cyclical rough patch in my neck of the woods.

Don't worry...each day you're one day closer to your next vacation! Are any memories especially poignant for you this time after you've had time to reflect?

Hi there-doing great this weekend so I feel better! Need to make sure I go down not up Tues. My knees are still killing me though. Ran into the dollar store to get a bottle of 20 pills (yes they have them there! LOL) but 20 only lasts me 5 days because you can take 2-3 a day...I do 2. It usually takes 2-3 weeks for you to start feeling some difference. Thing is once you start them you can't really stop them as evidenced by my experiment of going to the World for a week & not having them. I'm having to pretty much start all over - sigh

Linds is happy she is doing Disney May 2012 (w/ school) without me & then end of May is her 14th bday present to Myrtle Beach. HOPEFULLY my boss comes thru & I get airfare to Hawaii for us. I will take her there for 7-10 in July 2012. Linds has however agreed to going back with me to the World in 2013 !! Woohoo! The new Fantasyland Expansion will be done & such so she is game - yeah! Going to try & talk "Aunt Sandy" into going too ha ha!

I feel your pain LOL Tomorrow morning doing 1.5 miles if it kills me, showering then shopping. Need to clean the house and keep my big butt ON TRACK! You are right - post partum Disney blues have sunk in. Wish I was back there. MNSSHP is sold out tonight so I'm glad I went last week LOL I need to bag up some stuff while I'm thinking about it. We have so much shelf type food in house we can spare a bag....

Think I told you I xld the cruise in May. We decided on Dunes Village Resort in Myrtle Beach. 30,000 foot indoor/outdoor water park, ocean front view with kitchen and mini suite...$500 for the 4 nights. Cannot beat that! woohoo!

email 2 - just checking in to make sure you are ok. Haven't heard from you since Tuesday at the meeting. OMG I can't get my ________ together - I've been shoveling food in my mouth for 2 days. I need somebody to smack me please. Too much stress at work. Last week of the quarter always is stressful trying to make my 3 departments goals. Usually I'm better than this - wahhhhhh

Trying to win tickets to take Linds to Fright Fest! Put the link on FB if you want to try also

I'm getting hungry just reading that! Holy crow, that sounds delicious! Lucky you got your reservation at such a perfect time that you could see the fireworks. What did your kids have at the Cali Grill? That experience sounds like the quintessential Disney experience.

So when's that trip report coming? :animwink

We DID do good considering what I ate LOL...i'm back on track and on the hunt for poundage LOST ha ha!

Orchestra meeting was great!! $515 for the trip...covers motorcoach there and back, 3 Palmer Tshirts, lodging at the Holiday Inn near the gate for 4 nights WITH extra security hired, a $30 a day meal card so 3 of those...all breakfasts (full spread) free!! AND 3 day park HOPPERS! they are doing 2 parks a day - woohoo!!! Only thing I need to give her is souvenier $$ and 1 fast food meal down...and no, as much as i would LOVE to chaperone..she asked me to please NOT ha ha - I'd embarrass her with my disney antics...mwah? lol

omg 10 loads of wash? that's insane - i did one BIG one LOOL

Hey! Glad to hear you're back. How are you feeling now? I'm very sorry to hear about your kidney stone, at least you can rest easy now!

What was your favorite part about the Poly? It's just so beautiful there. Also very glad to hear about the Cali Grill. What'd you guys have? I hope you took pictures of your food!

Can't wait to hear more.

Hey DBFF LOL I LOVED meeting you and your family at Chef Mickey's..what a great memory and one I'll cherish forever...have photos but still on the camera...I took about 425 total - yikes! lol So sorry your health went South! What happened? That totally sucks...Actually by Thursday.....I was still hitting the parks at opening but leaving around 5 or so...Thursday was DHS and I got bored there! LMAO!!! Friday was day 2 at Epcot and I was back at the room by 330 or so....had a blast though and LOVED POFQ..loved it!

I'll look forward to seeing you Tuesday - I'm sure I gained LOL..I'm so damned bloated and even Milk of Magnesia isn't working - help! ha ha!!! Let's hope we didn't gain more then 2 pds each...if not, that 2 pds is well worth it - see you Tuesday! Then I have a 7pm meeting at school for the Disney trip for orchestra/chorus..woohoo!

Hello there! I hope you're having a glorious trip. How's the weather? I trust everyone is having a great time. I'm sitting here and I see cloudy skies, but right now I'm really wishing I was somewhere at WDW!
