I can't wait to see some of those Photopass pictures of the Greatest Stitch experience EVER! The ones from FB were awesome, I felt like I could just hear the laughter
Me too - it was the coolest thing ever to happen to us in all of our Disney trips - so I cannot wait to share it here!
As you said Allison is an adult now and can do what she wants with her own money. I'm glad to hear she is satisfied with her purchase.
They say we are in for a snow storm today. I had to get a blood test done today. I decided to do it right after lunch so I would be back home again if the snow storm is coming to Tromsø. It was very windy outside and snow in the air so it wasn't fun being outside today. It doesn't sound that bad outside now, but then again I rarely hear the wind when I'm inside my apartment because of the houses in front of my house that gets most of the wind.
Yes - she seems to be, I haven't seen her much since then.
Your weather sounds exactly like ours - minus the snow, but it's been terribly windy since yesterday - and bitter cold, which is the part I don't like. Well, I don't like any of it - but I really dislike the cold. LOL Stay warm out there Lillian!
Glad you had a good day yesterday. That Chicken Dumpling soup sounds delicious!
That's great you were able to make more of a dent in the Photopass pictures, I am really looking forward to hearing the whole story of the Amazing Stitch Experience!!!
It was really good - and it sure hit the spot!
Yes - I think I have about 15 photos left to do edits on, which makes me happy!
I cannot wait to share that - I think it happened on Day 7, so I have a couple more days to go before I get to it.
I'm glad you were able to get all of your parks photos edited. The Photopass website is SO slow and cumbersome most of the time...I dread editing my pictures.
Glad Allison got her phone...I know what you mean, though, about trying not to control what she does with her own money. I am constantly reminding myself that Alyssa is an adult...and Brie will be one soon. I realized this weekend that next Christmas will be very different for us and it made me a bit sad. I just have to remember that different isn't bad...it's just different. And that's ok. (Her boyfriend proposed this weekend -- the proposal video is on my FB page if you want to see it -- it's so sweet!)
I have been doing ok on my eating but I've fallen hard off the wagon when it comes to sodas...Coke, specifically. I really need to stop drinking it again. I like the flavored sparkling waters (La Croix, etc.) and need to stick to those. I've noticed a definitely change in how I feel since I stopped drinking enough water and I need to address that.
I also have a weakness for M&Ms. It's not pretty.... LOL Have a good day!
I know - right?? It makes it very difficult and it's definitely something I look forward to and dread at the exact same time... And then it's so BORING - if the photos would just save and load...
I agree - everything is very quickly becoming different here too... We see less and less of Allison, and V will follow suit soon - I am sure. It makes me very sad.
I tried to watch the video last night, but I was on my tablet and my tablet doesn't always like videos... I will try to watch it from my computer today. So exciting for her and so sweet that you were able to capture it on video.
Yes - definitely replace the soda with something you like... For me - it was the convenience of having it portable - so as long as I have my bottles of sparkling water, I have no desire for soda... I did have a gulp of V's the other day at the Moana movie- and it tasted so terrible to me, so I really have no desire to go back to it at all. Sending hugs - you can do this!!!
Yah - and then V and I made cookies last night - that wasn't pretty either... Grrrr.... It's my mission to get some healthy snacks in the house today - I think I am eating junk because there is nothing else for me to eat easily.
Thanks - same to you!
Have you email photopass to ask about the missing borders.
How does she like the 7+?
Glad you got most of the photo's done. Hopefully you got to finish them all today.
I have not... but I think I will.
I think she really likes it. I hope she does - anyways. LOL
I only have about 15 left to do - I should be able to finish them all by tomorrow.
I hope!
Just popping in to say hi D - I just realized we don't get the pleasure of seeing your bags any more; they are Disney related! But we understand, it stinks though.
That is a lot of time spent editing pictures; I don't understand why you pay that much money for a photo package and they do away with borders.
Well, I have been having the opposite D - doing really well eating but terrible at working out. I need to get back on track. I haven't been very consistent with my hormone meds and I have been really dragging.
We went to see Arrival this weekend; best movie ever D; I highly recommend it to anyone. It isn't really a sci fi movie as it is a life movie. I actually had tears at the end. If you sit and think about what all the movie was about it really moves you.
Allison and her phone; I know it is hard to see that chunk of change go towards a phone but the kiddos these days live on their phones. So, the phones are really, really expensive because they know they can sell them for a good amount of money. I hope she is enjoying it.
Have a good week D; I will be checking in; hugs and prayers always.
Sadly - yes, they are Disney related, but more so, they are business related... To be quite honest, I am on The Dis for my friends and writing TRs - not to make gains for my business... So, when it comes down to it - I decided my friends were more important to me - and I didn't want to risk losing my time here over sharing my bags... About a year ago (maybe more) - I decided not to share them here at all anymore. I know a lot of people miss seeing them, which is a bummer - but I hope they understand that their friendship is more important to me.
I know - it's so frustrating - especially borders that are so generic - I found myself putting the "Walt Disney World" border on everything. Kind of bummed - but I think I will email them this morning and see if there is a way to get those borders back.
I understand Carol - it's been a tough few weeks for me here too... I think part of the problem for me, is that I haven't gone grocery shopping yet - so I am out of snacks... I find myself grazing on whatever I can find - which is nothing good for me... I plan to change that today.
I have an entire list of movies that are out right now, I'd love to see... This one wasn't on it until now... LOL It isn't scary is it???
That is true - it's not as if they don't get their $$ worth out of them.
Thanks Carol - same to you!
Hi D! I am glad you are making progress with your photopass edits. I enjoy the throwback picks here & on FB. That website is the pits, though. It has always given me a fit. I don't envy you having to do that many edits at once. It sounds like another busy week for you. Chicken n dumplins sounds so perfect right now! Yum! I made a potato soup with the hambone we had left over from Thanksgiving. It was delicious as well. It has been a difficult week here. Between cheerleading practice and games and gymnastics, having one car is proving very difficult. We can walk most places, but it is getting cold (to us, anyway). Then, I went to the dr. yesterday & found out that I have an infection in my toe
crazy2
so they poked around and made it hurt even worse before they gave me an antibiotic & told me to just "wait and see". Then last evening, Quinn came down with a fever. I gave her meds and a cool washcloth bath & it went down. We went through this cycle about every 5-6 hours all night until finally just before dawn this morning, she throws up all over me and my bed. Of course, DH was already gone for PT at 0-dark thirty like a good Marine. Which left me to hobble up and down the stairs cleaning it up and trying to calm down the baby. It's been one of those days! Tomorrow will be better. I finally got her to take a nap this afternoon and decided the thing I wanted to do was come here & check on my Dis-friends. I'm looking forward to the next update and the newly edited photos! Take care, friend!
Thanks! I am glad you are enjoying them - I love seeing them too! It's hard when I don't have a Disney trip in my future... Oh well - there are worse things in life, so I'll just be thankful for what I do have and the memories I've been able to make there.
The edits are crazy - but with that many photos - I don't edit every. single. photo. like I used to... I pick the best ones out of a group and edit those... The rest I leave alone - so with that many pictures, it makes life a little easier. If I have time at the end of the week - I will go back at edit the remainder of them.
I was most worried about our Halloween party pictures and the ones taken in MK during that week - I realized when I started editing this week, that those Halloween borders will be gone in a few weeks and I almost missed out on them. Which would have been a huge bummer! I made sure I edited those first.
I love soup, and all comfort food this time of year...
What a tough day!!! I feel so terrible for you - I cannot imagine... I feel your pain though. The year Josh was in Iraq - not only was I battling the worst depression ever, but that Christmas the girls and I came down with the worst stomach flu we've ever had before or since... I remember crying while I was puking in the bathroom on Christmas day - thinking that life couldn't get much worse... Military spouses have it pretty tough sometimes - I am sending you giant hugs from around the world - praying that no one else gets sick and today goes so much better for you - I wish I could be there for you. :hugs:
Sending love and hugs!!!
***********************************************************************************************************
Well - yesterday - I lifted weights in the morning...
I went straight upstairs and I worked all day... V was home, not feeling well - so I had no reason to leave my PJs for anything... So, I worked and I was able to get a lot done.
In the afternoon - V and I made cookies - which wasn't the wisest decision for me... I ate far too many of them.
Today - I work at Target, so I need to get going...
I hope you all have a wonderful day - sending prayers and pixie dust out to all of you!
D~
