I give up with the DIS! I thought our new server was so supposed to fix all these problems and it is still double posting and being sooooo slow! ugh

John cooked in the crockpot again tonight and I can eat it. He made beef stew with lots of veggies in a watered down red sauce. If I limit the meat and potatoes, I can eat all of the veggies.....as much as I want for a substitute meal.....not many calories there, especially with the red sauce.

Giants 24 Bucs 7 with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter. GO GIANTS!

John (Woody) I didn't read it so I can't comment on the differences of the book and movie, but (you knew there was a but with me didntcha?) I felt the same way you did John, was that it?

Perhaps the last character that ended the show wasn't strong enough to play it off. I think in concept the idea is great. But execution was lacking.

okay,

I need some motivation here.

Last week I started the Big Love DVDs and I didn't realize I picked up Vol 3 of the First series so of course I had to go back and get the rest...4 more DVDs, ~ 10+ episodes. I'm trying not to get sucked in today... but the weather is making me not want to do my 20 commute to my office.

On the job front, great news! My juice client has hired an in house Controller/CFO, so I'm ready to turn it over, whew! I've held them about 3 more months than I would have liked. Once a company gets big enough for someone in house I really don't enjoy the work anymore. I'll have a hand off meeting tomorrow (hence I need to work today to clean it all up and make it tidy) but will still have to finalize the 2007 close. It's been a fun client to work with and I'll for sure enjoy the juice for time to come. I'll also pay myself as I head out and then prompty pay off the cruise that makes all the hard work worth it!

I weighed myself after almost one week of no smoking today and I only lost 2 lbs. I usually lose 5-6 lbs. each week. I didn't do anything different with the diet program. So I have to attribute it to stopping smoking....it changed my metabolism and slowed it down since smoking increases your metabolism as a stimulant. It's good that I didn't gain but that's not a big loss in a week. So far I have lost 34 lbs in 3 months and went down 2 sizes. I need to go down 2 more sizes in the next 4 months. I would have done it with the weight loss while smoking, I'm concerned about the weight loss without smoking, since it's now decreasing....will I still make it?

Deb they say 2lbs a week is the correct way to go so you are well on target. I think that is great.

Yes I do, I'll get to you when I get to the top of the list. I have 10 questions for everyone....I don't know all of your answers. I only know that you're coming. You will be getting a PM from me at some point!

Yesterday I noticed our cars odometer is close to hitting 100,000 and I thought to myself - we're going to get a tomorrow.

Am I spending too much time on the Dis?

When my car hits a landmark like this one, I always honk the horn really loud!!

So much fun!!

You would have to be a podcast listener to understand the Bawb jokes. Bob is one of the DU agents, and one of the "celebreties" on the DIS Unplugged podcast.

Is that Bob as in Bob Varley? He's our DU agent...he's a great guy, A+ customer service!!!

Enjoy your party and I hope you sell loads!

It was lots of fun, thanks! And I was able to order quite a few pieces of free jewelry....the best part!

 

[HollyTyler]

Lisa, I love the VA Tech animals! Tyler walked by when I had them on the screen and said, "Cool!" and kept walking....LOL!

Monica, adorable pics of Sydney & Ian!

I'm stealing some computer time at the public library while Tyler plays in the children's section. Not sure how much longer I'll have here, so if I suddenly disappear it means Tyler ran out of patience and is no longer able to stay "library quiet"! I doubt I'll be able to finish reading the 13 pages I'm behind, but I'll try.

 

[HollyTyler]

YEAH!!! BLAKE CALLED....I can't wait until the first time you remeet and see each other face to face again....those meetings may end in kisses!

I e-mailed him a couple current pictures (one I had taken with Tyler at Walmart and the one of us on New Years Eve) so he can see I still look the same, but the New Years Eve one shows him I'm a bit larger. He responded by saying they're nice pictures and that I sure haven't changed much, and says he'll be in touch when he returns from Florida later in the week.

 

[HollyTyler]

I was looking for a movie tonight - maybe we can go see Enchanted.

Tyler's stepmom took him to see it on Friday when she had to stay home from work with him....He LOVED it!

I HATE chocolate and so does Kayla!

Took Kayla this past week for her checkup. She wasn't too happy about the five shots she received! She was happy to learn that she doesn't need anymore until she is 11.

Worse news is that we had an x-ray done to see how the bone in her broken arm has healed. The break was near her growth plate, so they wanted us to have routine x-rays done. Of course they saw something that has them concerned. Have to go back to the orthopedic surgeon to have them look at the x-ray. Called my sister (she is a pediatrician) and was told worse case scenario is to put a pin in the bone. This doesn't sound good. Kayla will freak! Sister said that there are some medications that can be used. Guess we will wait and see, but we feel so horrible for Kayla. A five year old shouldn't have to go through all of this.

Hugs for Kayla! Sending good vibes that it's not as bad as you think.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and he is smitten!

V....I'm so sorry for you that the Bucs lost, they played a great game.

I was trying not to watch the Giants because of my jinx on them. I guess I didn't pay attention enough because they won.

 

[HollyTyler]

Ok all...I've never been to CC so what excursions should I NOT be interested in....Please give input.
Thanks
S

Well, Tyler and I did the glass bottom boat at CC and I wish we hadn't. It was really boring and the only fish we saw was when they stopped the boat and threw oatmeal over the side, then swarms of some tiny fish came up. Not very exciting.

Hi Kathe, How are you? Sounds like you are working like crazy. Who is at our dinner seating.....I know you and me and Daniel.....isn't there someone else?

Holly, glad your party went well, I'll look forward to seeing you model some of this new jewelry on our cruise I'm just catching up, exciting news about Blake!!!

[disneylover5]

This is a strange question. I just tried to match up socks. I have 133 socks with no matches....(over months) I have no idea what happened to the other socks....but I have a hard time tossing these in the trash.

What do you guys do with piles of unmatched socks?

 

[katypop]

Hi Lisa, yes, GreatWhiteNorth (Angie) is also dining with us, although I haven't seen her post for quite a while. I know I have missed a lot of posts too though...I try to keep up but She has two teenage daughters but is cruising solo.

I have started working Sundays again, so six days a week, now that my back is feeling better. I want to earn that extra money for all of the excursions, DOD and all

How is Frank doing? Did he wake up for your date? Hope he is feeling some better and that you are getting some rest too

LisaG520.....remember when I was asking you who else was coming to Grills with us.....a single person, staying at your hotel, it was Angie GreatWhiteNorth....that's why I thought she was from Canada. OK now that I saw this and remembered, I feel better.

No we have not heard from her for a while. But that doesn't mean anything. We will know if she is coming or not when I send her a PM with questions for her to answer. You'll all be getting one eventually.

I guess it doesn't matter anymore about who is going to Grills, I think we have about 20 people. We'll have to call in advance and make sure we can get seated. We're going to have so much fun!
