I am noticing a trend. I seem to only update on Sunday nights. This week instead of boring you all with a recap of my weekend and all the details (although quick thing- we went to Cabela's - land of all things used to hunt all moving things - today and was fun), I thought instead I would ask for a little assistance.
On Friday, my mom and I are flying to Florida to be with my grandma for her 81st bday. This birthday will be very hard since this will be her first since my grandpa died in March. So, to make it extra-special, we're going to Disney for the weekend! We're going to Animal Kingdom on Saturday and Epcot on Sunday. We're staying at the Port Orleans resort. My question- anyone been there lately? Have any tips?!? The last time I was at Disney was when I was a junior in high school and we went for a science club trip. Why in the world was I in the science club you may ask, since science is something that I despise? So I could go to Florida!! Duh!! (Mimi: "FOLLOW THE HAT!!!!") When I was little, we went every year for spring break, but it has changed leaps and bounds since then. Help please!! I want this weekend to go so well. My grandma has had a really rough time these last few months - she and my grandpa were married for over 61 years - and she's kinda lost without him. We all miss him terribly. Anyway, any help would be appreciated! :)
In other news... I am pleased to say that I have lost NINE pounds since school has started! This all began when my doctor yelled at me "YOU WILL GET DIABETES" over and over until I cried. That was fun. She probably didn't really "yell", but it sounded that way to me in my exaggerated perception. Anyway, I've been on this yo-yo up and down weight cycle most of my life. I was at one steady and somewhat-healthy weight range for about 5 years. Then I got married. Instantly I gained like 20 pounds and could NOT get it to budge. I went to my doctor about it last christmas and she said that my metabolism basically revolted against me after having an incredibly stressful year of planning and building a house for 6 months, and then planning and having a wedding in the following 6 months. She said I was in such a hyper mode that once it was all over my body just wanted to rest. Thanks body. grr.... Anyway, the whole yelling episode really kicked my butt into gear and I've been doing something I bought off an infomerical - Turbo Jam. It's fun cardio and the girl who leads it and invented it is from MSU - yet another reason to love her! :) It's fun and it's working. Hallelu! Finally!
Have a good week everyone! I'll try to update again before I leave for the weekend. :)

Sorry, I haven't been to Disney World in forever either. . .I think I need a copy of that work-out tape! I want to lose 9 pounds too!!! I hope the weekend turns out fantastic. I am sure your grandmother will just be very happy to have the two of you there to celebrate with her!
Bad news, my grandma is having some health issues and her doctor told her that she cannot go to disney this weekend. :( Today, she's having an mri and an mra(?) to try to figure out what's wrong with her. I'm a little bummed we're not going to disney, but that will always be there. I'm sure we'll try to go again.
I'm sorry to hear about the health problems your grandma is having, but ROCK on the nine pounds! I've lost between 15 and 20 since January... it's so hard! I'd be doing better if I could just stick with it for an extended period of time. :) I've started training for a sprint triathlon, so that seems to be helping! You're welcome to join me, and we can encourage each other! :)
