Good grief, y'all are making me blush! S70, when I read your TR I decided I liked the size of your pics. So, I tried to change the size of mine...which has been an ordeal. I'm sure it's a simple fix, just not for me! :laugh: You did your TR at lightening speed! I guess I'm trying to keep the same speed as KFK's TR. :raspberry:

I've been singing that song in my head ever since I posted this! Lovely? Me and no makeup? Have you been to the eye doctor lately? :rofl2: You MUST post a pic of your "beast!" I insist! Dashing? I'll ask you the same question I asked KFK. Have you been to the eye doctor lately? :bugeyes: Did I see a TR you've started? Oh I have so much reading to catch up on myself. As you know, a woman's work is never done. :rofl3: Well fine then. You aren't cute. You are a handsome hunk of hubba hubba! See the above reply. I agree. :heart: Welcome home, Carol. Do you have enough time to fin

After we got back to camp, I ate and a sandwich and rested for a couple of hours and I don't have a clue what my family did. :laugh: When I got up, I had a little spaghetti with intentions of eating a little more later. I did some "warming up" even though it was still a couple of hours before the race would start. I also did some stretching and while doing this, I got a phone call. Not just any phone call...it was Lou and he and Gail were at the Fort. They were coming to see us! :dance: I was so excited. We didn't have long to chat because the race was approaching and I was much more anxio

I don't care if you're registered for 200 half marathons. I thought you were doing the F&W with me. I felt jilted. :rofl3: Seriously, good luck on the races. Please take more pictures than I did. You are badly mistaken. I am not snarky. I am an angel. :rofl2: Which one you wanna do? I'll beat you! :rofl2: Don't forget as of yesterday, I'm old-er! Have y'all thought about which one y'all might do?

HALF marathon sister! HALF!!!!! Honestly, if you had told me a year ago I would be running somewhere besides getting my kids out of a burning building, I would have laughed too! AND I don't run; I shuffle (that's what Lance says I do), walk, shuffle. I'm a big fan of Jeff Galloway!! Thanks Kate! Trust me...if I could do it, ANYONE can! :techno: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what you told me about the F&W. Then I signed up and trained and your sorry tail was nowhere to be seen! ;D He took those pics 'cause I told him to! You know the "if Mama ain't happy" saying. :rofl3: Now for the o

I didn't take it as you being sarcastic at all. I knew exactly what you meant. Yes, I will heal...eventually! PT continues to say no running for another week! Never realized how much I enjoyed running until I was told not to. I know exactly what you mean, Kim! When my kids were little and I tried to get up early to spend time in the Word and prayer, one (usually Gage) would be up within mere seconds after me! So yeah my prayer life consisted of many, "Lord, don't let me kill this youngin'!" Now that they are older and don't want to get up, I have a lot of quiet time in the morning,

I second that!

I am not kidding when I say Lance took thousands of pictures. At the end of the week we had to erase a bunch because our 8G card was full. Obviously I won't post all of them. :shh: Don't tell him. He was quite proud of himself. ;D I'm laughing as I'm copying these pics because Lance took a pic of all 4 sides. No wonder he filled a whole memory card! That's all for tonight. I stayed home from church to prepare for a big day tomorrow and um, I haven't done a thing to prepare for tomorrow. :laugh:

Now that I've done a half, I want to do a full...before I'm 40 which is just around the river bend. Unfortunately as soon as we got home I hurt my knee while running and I've been ordered total rest for several weeks. :-[ When you decide to run again, check out Jeff Galloway. I LOVE his method...incorporates walking and running. :heart: Well hello, Heidi, nice to meet you! Thanks for the compliment on my family. I think they're beautiful, but I know I'm biased! (What Mama is not?) You should totally start running again and do a Disney race. It was AWESOME...when it was over! Wasn't

After breakfast Gretchen wanted to do some shopping and exploring with her Daddy. So off they went while Gage and I stayed behind to clean up and get ready. I can't tell you how many people asked if we hauled the camper with our van. As soon as they got back to the camper, we headed over to the TTC to pick up our park tickets. No she did not hit the van. Just in time!

Before any rumors get started, let me enlighten you on the beast. The beast is what my family calls my hair when I get out of bed in the morning. Really. It can be quite interesting to say the least. I don't know who I inherited it from, but I have it. We have many, many pictures of my bed head. Lance has not been on vacation with us in so long, I guess he forgot that vacation does not exempt my hair from becoming the beast. Of course I nervously get out of bed on our first whole day at the Fort. Later that evening, I would be running 13.1 miles with 14,000+ other people and I was not q

You know we checked out as you checked in. I don't know what would be worse...setting up camp in the rain or taking it down. Regardless it was wet and miserable. It stinks we didn't get to see each other AGAIN! I will go ahead and tell you that we all agreed our favorite part of this visit besides meeting so many fiends was the Haunted Carriage Ride! Thanks!! I have just about come to the conclusion that WDW comes in second to Wal-Mart regarding people in strange clothing. That is NOT a great pic and you and I both know it! :rofl3: I don't think I want to know where your mind went and I'

That would be my luck....a tag about the stinky slinky! Sucker....I think you got it right the first time, Kim! :rofl2:

I think my family thinks it's funny to get inopportune pics of me, but being as God has been working on my pride for some time, I'll post them anyway. I was literally saying "Dear Lord, what have I gotten myself in to?" when Lance took this. Getting my packet and signing my waiver to not sue Disney if I have a heart attack or am badly injured while running. Walking over to the EXPO. The Expo. It was here I found something to be better than sliced bread. It's called Body Glide. It is the bomb! It almost erased my blisters in a short time! I am so grateful to Leslie and another friend

Well you're in luck because I do get a pic at EOS a little later. That's the first time I've messed up our reservations yet I have to do the stinky every time. The first couple of times I had my Dad unhook it, but darn, I even do that now too. Quite frankly, I think it's a clear indication of what my family thinks of me. :rofl2: About the photo. I'm CERTAINLY not saying that Lance and I are as pure as the driven snow, but this was kind of naughty for both of us! :rofl2: Leslie, I was so stressed about transportation to the race. It's all I could think about. It's a miracle I got there

Once we got situated on our concrete pad, set up began. There's Grammy with her cane. She really is in a bad way right now, but she did a great job supervising. How come I always get the stinky job? I believe I've made it very clear how I feel about the "r" word, right? Well, look what Gage discovered? I actually got close enough to look at this one. This kids said the only reason I wasn't scared of it was because it was a Disney "r." :laugh: (Little did they know!) It didn't live long after its discovery. After set up, we had a quick sandwich and chips. Sorry no pics, Dave. It w

Hey now, the phone rings/text both ways ya know!

Thanks. I'm not near the writer as others are on this board, but one good thing about doing a TR is reliving your vacation! Well better late than never, right? :rofl3: Since we're both morning people, we may have to get together some time. We wanted to bring Bear home with us, but it just wasn't happening. I hope I can finish this TR...before 2012! Hey, what happened to our burgers and dogs on the grill night? I maybe should have texted you BEFORE we were getting on I-4 to head home?

I have a ton of pictures of that dog! Apparently my husband thought he was cute too. He really was cute... and was very sweet. My cousin's current living arrangements don't allow for a pet. That's why my parents have him. Now that my cousin and his wife have the baby, they are wanting to find a permanent home for him. My Mom is having hip replacement surgery in December and they can't take care of him much longer. They would love to though. In fact I think it's one reason Muffy is so jealous of him. She knows my parents like Bear more than they like her! :rofl2: I AM GOING TO!!!!

Other than the bike hanging from the bike rack, which was an easy fix, our 3 hour drive to Orlando from Glen St. Mary was uneventful. The weather was hot and the rest area we always stop at hadn't changed much. A little closer to that sign that leads to this sign That's where the trouble began. My Dad gave our name and there was no information that we were to check in that day! Lance calls me and says, "Honey are you sure you made our reservations?" Insulted, I angrily said, "I'm positive I made our reservations. I have the paperwork in my hand. That guy doesn't know what he's talkin

I can't help it. I LOVE mornings! I'll hold you to that! I know, but y'all still had to wait on us!

Wake up, wake up The sun is up The dew is on the buttercup Of course I had been up for hours trying to get in touch with my runner friends and figure out what to do with the Texas-sized blisters on my feet! I had come to the conclusion I was not going to be able to run, but we were still going to the Fort! This hug must have thrown Lance off. When we got on the interstate I looked in the rear view mirror and the red bike was just hanging. He forgot to strap it down! Bear is sad we're leaving. Continuously checking for those pesty little "r's" Muffy can't stand when my Dad leaves h

You are probably right about Grammy! She rode with us the day we checked in and caused us to be late, but wait til you hear what I did! You're not going to believe this...NO pics of the race! That was a fiasco and a half! You did have a stressful first day....but you were one gorgeous stressed out lady! Oh that last day was awful. I think I'm still trying to dry out! You and me both!

Sorry I'm taking so long. My life is just really busy right now. Who am I kidding? I still have kids at home...it's ALWAYS busy! Anyway, I'm thinking I should just do what I said I was going to do in the first place...post pics, no narration. It's just so hard for me not to talk. I'll finish up with a few more pics from the day we arrived at Papa and Grammy's. More "firsts"...not only did I get to see my cousin's baby for the first time, but I got to see him and finally meet his wife. (He's in the Marines and can't always coincide his visits with ours. Shortly after dinner, Lance and

Thanks, Denise...there's more to come!
