October 27, 2007 - Cruising around the Moon - A Magical All Hallows Eve

[PaDisneyCouple]

The best therapy is to book another cruise and make sure some of your DIS friends are on it. I did from the DDD Geeks cruise. I am even staying in the same room with one of my tablemates.

Come join Kimmielee, loves2shop (had to move her date), and us (sorry if I've forgotten anyone) on the 2007 Halloween Double-Dip!

dreamcruiser...I am soo impressed at what you are accomplishing
you deserve a cruise fer sure!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dizzi]

It was perfect here again today, tomorrow i am off so maybe i can enoy some sunshine

 

[dizzi]

Who ever is in charge here, you know the person who is #uno, have you decided if we are doing anything special for Halloween. I have read on other threads that Dis people did soem great things for the kids last year.
I would love to help out!!!!!!!!!

 

[dizzi]

Has anyone decided what they are wearing for Halloween costumes, both for children and adults?????????

Paula, I like your way of thinking. I would love to be an island girl. I WILL live at the beach someday.

Way to go on 78lbs lost Pam...that is a great accomplishment.

For DFF....I have done Weight Watchers to loose mine. It has been slow coming off, but I feel good to have lost 50lbs in a year. I haven't really still been excercising like I should so I need to get busy on that & I really hope to loose more before our trip rolls around.

Hoping one way to fight the blahs after the cruise by staying in touch with the DIS buddies I make on this one. I doubt we will book another cruise while on board like we did with this one. I really want to go to California or Europe for our next big vacation.

I was wondering about Halloween also. Are we doing anything special? From reading another thread also, it looks like the DIS festivities were better than the actual cruise line activities last year. I would love to help in any way I can. I am sure both of my kids will dress up for Halloween. As what, I am not sure. I don't know if DH and I will wear costumes yet. It kind of depends who all else here is dressing up. We could cave to peer pressure. I think it would be a blast to dress up but I don't have the guts to unless DH dresses up too.

Thanks for letting me know what diet you are doing, Disneygrl. Two of my co-workers are doing that, and I am kind of looking at points as well. I thought about joining but unfortunately, the one closest to me takes place the same time as my youngest DS's soccer game each Thursday. Congrats on all your weight loss again!

I'm on a float for the St Patrick's Day Parade here. The guys on the float go to New Orleans to get the beads. I've got them looking for pirate beads for us on the cruise. I'll let you know this weekend (if I can type Sunday ) what kind we got. I'm also up for making goodie bags of the kids favorite candy. I hate seeing stuff go to waste so we can list what our kid's favorites are *and ours too* and get only what is liked. I'm driving so if someone wants something and doesn't want to pack it, let me know and I'll get it.

I'm going to dress up for halloween. I'm leaning towards that witch pic I showed y'all or Little Red Riding Hood since I already have the costumes. Of course I'll be getting a pirate wench costume as well!

Disneygirl..we plan for our next big vacation (after this cruise) to be to Europe also, we plan on going in the late summer of 2011. I know it seems so far off, but we have to save. I am sure we will be doing little trips each summer until then. We went to Paris (me and DH) about 1year and 1/2 ago, we only spent 4 days which was not near enough, my Dh went on business so he spent 2 days working while i explored on my own. It is a very AWESOME experience, i cant wait to take my kids.

 

[Disneygrl36]

Definetly dressing up for Halloween.....Mary Poppins & Bert will be reporting for Halloween duty. If we are all going to dress up, it might be fun to do a Halloween costume group photo....what do ya'll think???

Will participate in trick or treating for the kidlets even though we don't have any & good idea about bringing only candy people like Paula.

Can we go yet???????????

I really want to do London & Paris (of course with a visit to Disneyland) at the least...maybe spring 2009 for us I am thinking. Have never been over the big pond. Will hope for good advice from Chris on the best places to go & especially great places to have my beloved afternoon tea.

As for the weight loss, I have lost 78lbs so far and it has NOT been easy. I gained over 100 pounds with my pregnancy, due to complete bed rest for 8 months and steroid shots daily ( long story,she is my miracle after 4 miscarriages in a row) anyway after gaining so much in such a short time and then going thru some bad post partum I ended up not only keeping the weight on, but since I then became a stay at home mom,depressed and unable to do the active things I enjoyed I just "accepted" myself and ended up weighing in, well lets just say at a size 24!!!! ( when I first became pregnant I was a size 7) Well....my lightbulb moment came at a woman's conference I went to. They had asked us to write down what we LOVED to do, not what our family loved or taking care of our children etc...but what I as an individual loved to do..........well I just couldn't think of anything except stuff that included my DD or DH. I began to CRY!! I realized I had FORGOTTEN ME??? ALL ABOUT ME??? AND WHAT I LOVED??? I then remembered things like racquet ball, water skiing, hiking, just general outdoors fun and since I had had my weight gain I no longer did ANY of these things. It was then that I decided to get down to business. I AM VERY FORTUNATE to work as a director for the YMCA so I was able to hire our very BEST personal trainer whom I work out with 3 days a week, I also try to do cardio EVERYDAY. I still have days that I screw up, and definitely have times when I don't want to do anything, but having my trainer to talk to and cheer me on is really what keeps me headed for my goal. I also use MyFoodDiary dot com, which is an amazing website for logging your food, exercise and telling you how healthy you are eating and what things you can improve on as well as giving you SMILEYS for doing a good job I HIGHLY recommend it and if you want more info you can PM me or just browse their website.

Well there you have it the whole sorted story
I just know this has to work out !!! I will cruise in October, even if I have to hide in one of your suitcases

Pam, you are AMAZING! I am so happy for you! I'm also adding you to my prayer list... lots of pixie dust too! I say take Paula up on her offer to play someone from Disney Visa to trick him! YOU MUST COME!!!

I sooo have to work on a costume!! One year I was Mrs. Potts... lol. Talk about HOT!!

I do have one idea... but it will be a surprise. Paula... great idea about the candy. Noah is a Hershey's kid. Just plain Hershey's. Or M&M's... plain or peanut. His Momma... Likes ALL kinds of candy... oh, wait... this is for the kids right?

Can we go yet?????????????

 

[dizzi]

dsnygrl...everything about it was awesome you will love it. Well everything but the flight. Just soending that much time in a plane was horrible. Our goal / start of a plan is to do London/Paris and some other hot spots. we want to try and be able to go for a month.

 

[dizzi]

We definitley will be dressing up, adults and children, but just dont have a clue what yet. I think DD is leaning towards a cheer leader. But we have plenty of time for her to change her mind over and over again.

 

[vital]

Well, another morning another workout! I like anything mint/chocolate, caramel/chocolate, plain chocolate or skittles! I don't really care for nuts in anything (minds out of gutter Chris and Ronnie). When it's closer to the DAY, we can get a list together and go from there. I really don't mind packing my car with food! LOL!

Well, off to shower. Hope y'all have a great day!

 

[dizzi]

My kids like chocolate (NO PEANUTS) skittles, laughytaffy, (anykind of taffy)And they are both big on crackers, chips and anything granola.
