The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 21

well since I am the only one here looks like I guess I will head to bed as I work tomorrow.

Glynis how was the conference today.

It was very wonderful!!!! We got to listen to Bill Harley today, and he is a fantastic story teller/children's musician. If you are from New England, you may have heard of him. He lives in Providence, but does a lot of gigs in Massachussets, Connecticut, and sometimes Vermont. I was so impressed I bought one of his CD's and my kids have already listened to it 3 times!!!

I also took some workshops on creating a storytelling theater, making a living doing storytelling (not something I'm personally interested in), and how to go about writing family stories down. All were incredible, and my mind is just reeling.

I think, though, the best part was getting to connect with adults, and not have children pulling on my shirt. It was nice to be able to talk adult talk, and actually use parts of my brain that have been lying around resting for the last 10 years.

Somehow I lost some of my quotes.... so....

Where did you all find the Flower Power concerts for 2007???

I'm all in for Le Celliier. The more the merrier!

Kristine, Love that Bob is coming. I keep hoping to hear from Vicki and Chuck!! Gotta call tomorrow, at a more decent hour...



That is an emormous amount of weight! Do you do the NutriSystem while you are in Disney??? You go girl!!



Hi Theresa!!

Terry get better! Falls are no fun.

I had done a giant quote like Bernadette, and then I closed the ^&%^%&% tab.

So, for the Brooks Boys! Find those pants Elizabeth. I'm up for any plans for October. Especially excited about the California Grill and Le Cellier.

We're not going to do the party, we are doing La Nuoba instead.

Beth, love your new siggie.

I hope Amy is having a ball.

I know I'm forgetting tons... Anyway, tomorrow all I'm doing is cleaning my bedroom and wrapping my Valentines for teh grandkids and mailing the cards. Going to drop in and have coffee and dessert with my housebound friend whose kidneys are failing....

Well, I'm off to bed I think. Nitey, nite...

Hi Steffy,
Night

Glad to hear you had a great time.

Night Jennifer! Have a good day at work tomorrow!

Good night to everyone else. I just got caught up, the kids are in bed, and I have a book with my name on it just waiting for me to do some reading.

Talk to you all tomorrow!

Tammi - I want details on the brunch, ok? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you have a marvelous time!

Got this from accuweather.com a minute ago:

The potential exists for over six inches of snow to blanket the southern mid-Atlantic states, including Charlottesville, Va., and Washington, D.C., Tuesday into Wednesday, and a track more northeastward could result in significant snow along the I-95 corridor from Philadelphia to Boston.

Looks like my Groundhog was WRONG!

As much as i hate snow, im really wanting a snow day! They are talking about snow tuesday night, so we shall see!

The dads called me tonight for an interview!!!
I am meeting them tomorrow at 5 PM!! Unfortunately the pants I was going to wear with my cute new shoes are missing. I must have gotten rid of them. So I will either have to go buy new khaki pants or wear my black capris with shoes I already had. I really have no recollection of getting rid of those pants. I can't believe I would do that. Then again, I don't remember the last time I wore them, either.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to hear about your interview!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Beth-love your new sig!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

So im all caught up--is anyone here?!

 

[Tinkaroo]

not yet... but I will!

Elin - if you have any problems finding someone, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a guy that rented points to my parents in Dec. 05. He has oodles of points, rents a lot, and came recommended to me by another DIS'er. Let me know if you want his name!

Glynis,

What is the name of the person you saw that is from West Va? We have friends in WV and I want to ask them if they have heard of him.
Thanks

Hi, all - I always miss all the fun around here.

I hope everyone had good days - I got some things done around the house, and then Jonathan and I went to a late dinner. Nothing too terribly exciting - and more of the same tomorrow!

Oh, and I got up at the crack of dawn to call CRO and change our ressie from WL to AKL (I couldn't believe I was able to snag a room there with the AP rate!). I've been reading some horror stories about the WL construction, so we decided to return there on another trip. I'm a bit relieved!

Tammi - good luck on the brunch! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Deb - congrats to the family on your winning, eventful day!

Bernadette - how's everyone feeling in your house?

Vicki and Janet - good luck with all the packing/preparations! (Vicki - remind me of your dates again?! We'll be there from 3/2-3/5.)

Beth - loved the new siggie!

Elizabeth - good luck with the wardrobing for tomorrow!

Terry - Ouch - I hope you're not in too much pain!

Jen - how was the babysitting?

Hi, Theresa and Jennifer!

Sorry if I forgot anyone - here's a dose of for all. Chat with you tomorrow!

I have taken pain pills but not sure how I am going to feel when I get up tomorrow.
Stephanie and I have wanted to get together for the past 6 weeks now and still have not been able. Now another weekend is ending up a bust.
I can feel the aches starting to get bad, so I hope I can move around tomorrow. Thank goodness i am seeing a specialist on Monday so I can make sure I did not do further damage to my elbow.

Steffy - I am still doing NutriSystem, but NOT when I am on vacation.

That is one reason my weight loss slowed down considerably between the end of October and the first of January. I realized about the middle of last year that if I denied myself things like Le Cellier or the F&W Festival or Thanksgiving dinner I would be more apt to splurge on something I really didn't want. So, I decided to go ahead and do things I really wanted to do and get back to NutriSystem the next day. Since we had a 4 day WDW trip for F&W in October, Thanksgiving in November, Christmas and a 9 day WDW/Savannah trip in January, etc. it was a brilliant decision on my part, if I do say so myself.

It has worked well for me as I am still losing. The dramatic numbers every week are not there anymore, but I could live with my eating lifestyle now for the rest of my life. I have decided to start to substitute other foods for breakfasts and lunches after this last shipment of NS food and see how I do. If all goes well and the weight loss continues I wil then start to modify my dinner entree too. I am hoping I have re-learned how to eat and can then look forward to a new life as a much thinner and healthier woman.

Thanks, Lindsay! I will try to find a spare minute or two this morning before I head to work to do some more looking and planning. I would need to see how many points it would cost to do a 2BR for that weekend. That would be the deciding factor. We actually ended up "losing" money on our December OKW trip as WDW offered an AP rate on that resort! We would have been better off renting directly through them than to rent our friend's points. And she still only charges $10 a point for rentals.
