[Arizona Rita]

Hi Tracy,
Thoughts and prayers are with you!


Hi Celeste, please let me know how I can help with the letter campaigne.
I will get friends and co-workers to do the same!


Ron, are you out there?

Dear Tracey from one daughter to another who mom became sick in one instant. I know what you are feeling and going through. If you need anyone to talk to just pm me and i will send you my number you can call anytime. If tracey is not keeping up with the board at the time if someone wants to get this message to her i would greatly appreciate it. Cindy p.s. we are doing my mom's memorial party next weekend. That was her wishes Maragarita anyone

For those of you who don't know Tracy's Mom was diagnosed with a terminal illness yesterday and was given approximately six months. Tracy posted today that one of her Mom's final wishes is to get tickets to the Oprah show. I have been trying to figure out what we could do to get make this happen....

I would suggest that all of us write a letter on behalf of Tracy's mom. I am at work today- but I would be more than happy to write a form letter tomorrow that everyone could just cut and paste into their browser. You would have to register on the site so you can email. If people would be willing to email them- perhaps if there were many emails, we would have a better chance?

The studios are pretty close to the hospital- so if worse comes to worse, I'll hoof over there one day and plead our case. Also- if we were able to get tickets- would anyone want to help chip in for hotel rooms for Tracy, her Mom, and her sisters? However, I might make T book the rooms, so she can get the travel agent. :rotfl:

Thoughts, suggestions, comments?

[winotracy]

Hi everyone. Just checking in to let you I am reading. Thanks everyone for the words of support. Mom started radiation yesterday. The way they have to move her around made it pretty painful so she was up most of the night. Hopefully it will get a bit better as the treatments progress. Right now I am splitting my time between home and here (here on weekends) so I feel like I'm running ragged, but reading the boards gives me an escape!!

Thinking of you today Cindy! I'll have a margarita in your mom's honor :)

[memarmay]

Hey Tracy,
I understand about those impossible positions. My mom went thru a few months of Rad therapy after a few months of chemo. All, thankfully, went well for her. JUst being there is a great support and relief for her. My mom finally moved within a mile of me and it has made all the difference. She is doing great now and looking forward to her 86th birthday! We will all keep you both in our hearts. And DO take out some time for YOU. As a 'sandwich' person, watching over mom and daughter and granddaughter living with us, I know how important that is. Even if you take an hour and a half walking thru Target at 8 pm it is somehow renewing. (yep, I've done that...I did feel so much better..didn't buy but one or two things, but it was empty and I could walk all the isles without people being there)
Do take care and let me know if I can be of any help.
Mari

Ken

Ken, thanks for asking. She is half way to her goal!!!!:thumbsup2 I am so excited for her. Yesterday's training ride was 53 miles. God bless her tush, legs and back! No more road rash.
The race is on Aug 18 in the Santa Barbara, Ca area. Lauren and I will tag along for support....and for me to drive home on Sunday!!!:lmao: Just to have a few days away from the big city rat race...no pun intended...I'm certain will be renewing.
Thanks again for your support and thank you everyone who has so generously sponsored Allison.

Hi Mari

Shari and a number of others are doing the 1/2 marathon on Monday. We will be at the parks on Sunday and will have to leave right after the race on Monday.

The Cool Breeze is just a training ride for me. The fundraising event I'm doing is the Arthritis Ride from San Francisco to LA. The link to that is below in my signature area.

Hello everyone!!

Just need some warm, fuzzy thoughts and prayers for Lauren. She has been sick again (!?!?!?!?!):confused3 so now they want to do a lymph node biopsy and the doc figured while she was out, he'd remove her tonsils...they are just sespools of bacteria anyway. She has a pattern now for a year....every 4-5 weeks, fever, malaise and just feeling crummy for about 4-5 days and then she's fine. Very puzzling. They have ruled out most all of the nasty bad stuff. Some think it's chronic mono...you know those kindergartners....can't trust a one!
Seriously, she is going to have this done on Thursday. She'll be home recuperating for a week and hopefully back to somewhat 'normal' after that.:thumbsup2 We would all appreciate warm thoughts, prayers and hugs.
Thanks a bunch,
Mari, Allison, Raleigh and especially Lauren!!!:grouphug: :flower3:

I hope they figure it out soon - and that it's something simple and easy to fix. :wizard: that all si fine. Christina sends :grouphug: and :laundy: (her favorite). She also says "no I.V.!", but if Lauren does have to have an IV, she says "mask first so the IV doesn't hurt". Hang in there and keep us posted!

Mari, Allison and Lauren, here's some pixie dust.:wizard: pixiedust: When Brett was 3 yrs old he had infection after infection. Poor kid felt lousey all the time (tonsils would just about touch from being so swollen). After the doc took out his tonsils and adnoids, the infections went away and he finally started feeling better.

Lauren,

I hope you start to feel better real soon. princess:

Thank you everyone for your warm thoughts and wonderful wishes.:disrocks: : We are so encouraged:thumbsup2 and hopeful that this will do it!!! Allison and Lauren and I were supposed to run in a 5K, but it ended up only I did it. I picked up their shirts and numbers...Lauren's number was '777'...Allison is going to attach it to her stuffed turlte that will go to the OR with her. GOOd signs already!!!:cool1:
Tracy, How's your mom? I think about her often and also warm thoughts for you. I took care of my mom when she had her cancer surgery and I know it can be stressful. Warm thoughts and blessings to you and healing and healthy thoughts for your mom are on their way!!!
Peace and thankfulness, Mari:thanks:

[memarmay]

You are almost done scrapping? Do you work outside the home? Eat? Sleep?
I havn't even started yet! Although I have been buying papers and everything else for the past year!
Would you like to do mine for me?
I am sorry tho that I can't help you with the font, but I will be watching for the replies you get!;)

To all of those out there with families that are not doing well, thoughts, prayers and lots of love go out to all of you!

Thanks Mari, mom is doing better than last week. She is finally able to eat again. The doctors finally found the right combination of pills to help with the nausea. She'll finish up the radiation therapy on Thursday and we will meet with the oncologist to talk to him about chemotherapy. The most stressful part for me is living in two houses. I spend three to four days a week up there and three to four days a week at home. It's only 1 1/2 hour drive and it's not bad now (no snow :) )

[jeanneg]

Sending pixie dust and well-wishes to Tracy's mom and Lauren.

Mari: congrats on completing your 5K and the scrapbooking. I am very impressed! I don't scrapbook myself, but can certainly appreciate all the time and effort it requires and am amazed that you have already finished!

Tracy: glad to hear your mom is finding medication that makes it more comfortable for her. Been there, done that myself exactly 10 years ago. We ended up having hospice come to my home and in as well as those things go, we ended up having a very positive experience. The hospice workers are a very rare breed of very special people and really did everything in their power to make a smoothe and comfortable transition.

[winotracy]

I should also add that mom is not totally incapacitated. This in a way makes this more difficult. I think she wants to prove that she is not sick by doing too much. She hasn't left the house except for doctor's appointments, but she does the laundry and dishes (when we leave her alone for a short amount of time) and then she's exhausted and sore. How can we convince her to stop doing things before she gets tired?

We have talked about hospice and do intend to get them in there when it gets to be too much for my sister and I.

[jeanneg]

Actually, she's probably better off being a little more active, even if it does tire her out. For one thing, it will take her mind off what she is going through and if it does get her tired, it may help her to rest better. As long as she's not doing anything dangerous like driving or going out alone, it's probably a good thing.

I know you've been very busy and have lots on your mind, but I wanted to order some of your photos from Webshots to augment my own collection. I tried to purchase them from your site but I think i need to be "invited." If you get a chance, could you please send an invitation to my personal email so i can order some of the photos. Thanks a million.

Ellen,

PM me with your email and I'll send you a link to the Kodak gallery where I have my favs. I took 1434 frames and whittled it down to about 250....but I keep printing out more for the scrapbook. I am not a 'creative memories' person, I just do what I want to do and what pleases me! :cool1: :goodvibes

As for Lauren, her surgery is tomorrow, Thurs, at 11 AM PDT. As soon as I get home from work, I'll email the board on how she's doing. Allison didn't want any company at the hosp, I offered and so did our pastor, Pastor Holly. Nope, goin' it alone. Allison has had about 14 surgeries....all but one relatively minor...eyes, ears, knees. So both of us are well accustomed to waiting rooms............esp ME!

Thank you, all for warm thoughts and pixie dust. Mari

Rita,

Just crazy.:crazy: I purchased 3 scrapbooking kits on the ship and I'm almost out of the pages and Lauren has helped me use up the stickers!!! You are so kind to offer your memories to me, but I'm afraid I couldn't do them justice...ARE YOU NUTS????:eek: :crazy2: I have more than enough to keep me busy. :laughing: I started out with the nightmare in London and then follow that by all the excursions from Barcelona to Villefranche. That took 25 double-sided pages. I included excursion tickets, any small paper reminders and of course pix and stickers. Some of the pix I did highlight with secondary colors. Next what I am going to do is all the meals with pix of the menu covers and the candid shots of dinners with friends, drinks in the bar with friends, drinks by the pool with friends....ahhh...the memories keep flooding in my mind...no cracks needed from this p-nut gallery!!! I will end up the scrapbook with various candid shots with characters....Disney and Human..Sandy, Deb and Linda to name JUST a few!:lmao: :jumping1:
And I do work full-time, obviously I eat and I do sleep VERY well!!!:cloud9: Have fun, Rita and enjoy!

I've done both digi books and traditional. I opted for traditional this time because I have other items I wanted to include..vouchers, museum tickets, notes from the ship, etc. I may yet do a digi book just to be able to take something small to share outside the house...the scrapbook is just too Big!
I will take a few pix of the pages in the next couple of days and I'll put them on the Kodak site.
Take care, Mari

Tracy,
My mom did the same thing...except she lived 4 hrs away and I couldn't help her too much...now she lives .7 of a mile from me and I'm much happier! Let her do whatever she can. Her body will tell her when to stop. She still needs to feel like a productive person in life. Let her do it. Even perhaps ask her to help you to do something....something she can do perhaps sitting down..and let her know it would REALLY help you out. She feels needed and not such a 'burden' as they usually feel. To us, it is not a burden, but an act of love and appreciation. I have given my mom some books that I really liked...she is very religious and I have a few spiritual books and some on healing. She really likes those kind of books, and then we can sit and discuss them. I enjoy is as much as I think mom does!
Take care and hang in there. Hugs and prayers are with you. :love: :hug:

Peter's disk went out today. Bill was going to take it to the post office and it would probably leave the same time that Jeanne's left but I said no, he can wait :rotfl:

[Arizona Rita]

Rita,

Just crazy.:crazy: I purchased 3 scrapbooking kits on the ship and I'm almost out of the pages and Lauren has helped me use up the stickers!!! You are so kind to offer your memories to me, but I'm afraid I couldn't do them justice...ARE YOU NUTS????:eek: :crazy2: I have more than enough to keep me busy. :laughing: I started out with the nightmare in London and then follow that by all the excursions from Barcelona to Villefranche. That took 25 double-sided pages. I included excursion tickets, any small paper reminders and of course pix and stickers. Some of the pix I did highlight with secondary colors. Next what I am going to do is all the meals with pix of the menu covers and the candid shots of dinners with friends, drinks in the bar with friends, drinks by the pool with friends....ahhh...the memories keep flooding in my mind...no cracks needed from this p-nut gallery!!! I will end up the scrapbook with various candid shots with characters....Disney and Human..Sandy, Deb and Linda to name JUST a few!:lmao: :jumping1:
And I do work full-time, obviously I eat and I do sleep VERY well!!!:cloud9: Have fun, Rita and enjoy!
Mari

Lauren will be in thoughts and prayers today, as well as the rest of your family!
At last, after reading the past couple of entries-fellow Dis scrappers who understand!! My scrap store that I loved closed last Oct and I havnt done too much and I want to do justice by this trip!!
I will be calling on you Mari and Tracy too for suggestions for what to do with that 16th piece of paper from Florence:rotfl2:
Also, Ellen, I have no idea how to digi scrap and may have to have you teach me!:)
Have a great day everyone!

:banana: Hello to our lovely and wonderful disboard family!:grouphug: ,

Lauren came thru surgery just wonderfully. Mom, Miss Sara, her Sunday school teacher, and Pastor Holly were there at her bedisde for her!!! All went well and the doc said that the tonsils and adnoids were horrible and so icky and infected. He is certain this has been the root of all the problems.She's upstairs in mommie's room watching cartoons, eating push-pops, gatorade, and icecream!!!I asked her how she was doing and she said 'good'. They gave her versed....a wonderful mind altering drug and Allison said that she was just hilarious....kinda like a funny drunk but a six year old who has had some goofy juice. If I can figure out how to post a pic, I will.
Thank you all for your ice cream thoughts and warm fuzzy prayers. I means an awful lot to me.:hug:
Now I do have one other request. My mom saw the doctor yesterday and she found 'something' in one of her breasts. Mom is a lung and colon cancer survivor and now she's a bit worried about this. She'll have a mammogram and ultrasound soon and hopefully that will give us some clues. Please keep her in your thoughts.:love:
How's it goin' Tracy? Hope you are hanging in there!!!
My love to all of you. You are the best!!!!!!!!!:cheer2: :disrocks:

Digiscrapbooks are great. I did a beautiful for our son's wedding and I am really proud of it. They are not hard to do, but they are time consuming and in front of a 'puter for a while. Also, there is no room to really customize them...ticket stubs, cards, post cards, notes from DCL, cute notes from the disboard...etc. You must do one at some time because they are really impressive and much easier to cart around.
Thanks for the samoa...careful of the coconut...it might get caught in her ex-tonsil site!:rotfl2: !
Thanks, Mari

[kpros]

Hi Everyone

Off to Long Beach tomorrow to watch our son play in a pro beach volleyball tournament.

Have a great weekend!
Ken

[jeanneg]

Mari: pixie dust to Lauren for a speedy recovery and to your mom for hopefully a good diagnosis.

Ken: good luck to your son in the tournament!

[jeanneg]

We had some friends over last weekend and tried to duplicate the vanilla martinis. If you use the exact ingredients, it will be a VERY expensive drink, which is probably why DCL does not offer it on the menu. Around here, Galliano, Amaretto (the good kind), and Absolute Vanilla are each about $23-$25 a bottle. Our local ABC store did not even carry White Godiva so we had to use some other form of white chocolate liquer. We also got the cheaper Amaretto. We substituted a French vanilla coffee creamer for the vanilla ice cream mix because I have no idea where to get that. The martinis were good, but not as decadent as the ones on the ship. Everyone else seemed to like them, but they they just seemed to be missing that pizaaz. I guess I'll just need another cruise to get the real thing.......

I really hate that I never tried th vanilla martinis on ship. They sound right up my alley. I think I will try to make them too!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Lauren and good luck to Ken's son in the tournament.

We will keep the "mom's" in our thoughts and prayers.

Jeanne -

I see some alcohol shopping in your future - maybe on the panama cruise. :lmao: NOw if it would only stay in your luggage for the trip home:thumbsup2

Sandy

[jeanneg]

Sandy,
Great idea but the recent carry-on luggage restrictions have really placed a damper on my Carribean alcohol shopping excursions. I really miss those little carry-on totes full of booze that they previously allowed us to bring right on the plane.

I'm betting the Carribean liquor store are non too pleased with that restriction either.

[poconoboatniks]

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been on for a couple of days.

Glad to hear that Lauren is on the road to recovery.

Mari, Prayers for your Mom. MY mom (the one on the cruise) is a 15 yr breast cancer survivor. Pixie dust and prayers for good news for your Mom. :wizard:

Ken, How did the tournie go for your son? I love volleyball! I love to play (not very good) and watch.

[kpros]

Hi Everyone,

Ken, How did the tournie go for your son? I love volleyball! I love to play (not very good) and watch.

Hi

The AVP beach volleyball tournament was OK - but not great. He won his first match and then lost his second match to the eventual tournament winners. He then won his third match, but lost the fourth match (double elimination). So he finished in 13th place.

Another tournament in two weeks in Chicago.
Thanks for asking!

FYI to everyone - I'm getting closer to that $10,000 fundraising goal. $8,786 so far with about 2 months to go. Thanks for the support!

Ken,

We were reading about the touney in the paper. Allison was invited to play on the US Navy volleyball team that travels the world playing volleyball and has had olympic hopefuls on it. She declined so that she could go on WestPac with her ship.

Now, I have a question to ask everyone...I'm doing my scrapbook and I thought I was a diligent photographer, but I failed. I have about 5 or 6 nights of menu covers. Did anyone get a photo of all of them? If so, PM me and I'll send you my email address.:confused3

The scrapbookers out there have inspired me to try my first scrapbook. Onboard they had some Med scrapbooking materials. Does anyone have any idea of how I can buy it now? I am little overwhelmed with the thought of putting it together, but I guess you have to start somewhere!

Well, you could try and talk to someone on one of the future Med cruise threads and see if they would bring some home for you. Or even better, find someone on the August repo - that way they might not have to worry so much about luggage space. There are several people from the May repo also doing the August repo back.

Give that a try.
Ken

[memarmay]

Neither....she's OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool1: :yay: She was E3, I think She's been out since 2001.

I do hope your son does well in his next tournament. I do so enjoy watching beach volleyball. It does seem less injurious than court VB. Allison messed up her knees on the court.!
Lauren and I will be at the cool breeze ride cheering on for Allison...and you! If we can meet up, I do believe I'll bring my scrapbook and bore the life out of you!!!!!!:rotfl2: :lmao:

:tinker:
Funny you should ask that. I just wrote DCL to see if I could purchase any more scrapbooking kits as I have just about used the 2 that I purchased on the ship. He said, no, they are exculsively on the ship. rats.:confused3 Maybe if you do find someone that will bring some back, I'll see if they will bring one for me. They had 3 different packages: one specific for the Med, one for 2007, and one specific for the cruise line. The med and 2007 packages worked:smickey: the best for me. The last one was generic DCL....the wonder, castaway cay, etc. Also, just some generic Disneyland scrapbooking kits would work. I dove into mine as I was running out of pages that I wanted to use. Good luck. Boy, if could, I would love to find someone to bring back a couple of more Stantons from Provence. My husband and I absolutely fell in love with the 3 that we purchased. We can't help but smile and reminisce about the South of France and how much we loved it. What beautiful memories we have!!:hug: :love: If fall else fails, one of my coworkers is going to the so. of France in Feb....one way or the other, I'll get my Stantons!!!
Good luck and if you cannot find any thing...I also looked on disneyshopping.com with no luck...I live 20 min from Disneyland and I'll be happy to go there (ok ANY excuse will do!) and send some to you. Just let me know..and that goes for anyone else, tool:goodvibes

Peace and happy scrapbooking! Mari

[Jeisur]

Those of you looking to nab up some Disney related scrapbooking supplies...

Check out this website- I am sure there are others out there but I have a friend who bought stuff from these guys.

-Laurie, David, Breighton and Baby #2 Due in Jan! :)

[jeanneg]

Laurie, how is the pregnancy proceeding? I take it the icky phase must be over by now.

[milestogo]

memarmay, you are a restaurant God!!! We went to Mangia Mangia on Friday and after 3 bites DH said this was by far his new favorite restaurant. It was excellent. Everyone at the table had outstanding food and the service was great. What a "hole in the wall" find! Thanks for yet another great Disboard recommendation :banana: :banana:

Don't they have fantastic food? Their cuisine reminds me most of the cuisine that we had in Italy. We just love it! We will need to go and say hello to our buddies! Maybe we can meet there for dinner one evening, OK?

Mari

[Jeisur]

Laurie, how is the pregnancy proceeding? I take it the icky phase must be over by now.

Thanks for asking. Yeah the icky part seems to be subsiding. With Breighton I had morning sickness for 3 days... with this one... I was sick until just this week...15 weeks in! UGH! Hopefully it stays away. We are eagerly awaiting September so we can find out the sex...then the work begins. Shopping (if it is a girl! FINGERS CROSSED!), name picking (got a few good ones on the burner, gotta keep the name Different) and all the other baby things....

Breighton moved to a "big boy room" this week and we will start a quick minor remodel of his old room when the weather cools down a bit. We have to replace a ceiling due to an OLD water leak from before we moved in. Shouldn't be too much work.

Nowhere near the stress of when I was preggers with Breighton! :) More nerves this time... how will I cope with a two year old and a newborn! Ugh! :) We will work it out! :)

We have one in the North end of Boston, it is just a sub shop!!

Not part of a chain, but it has great Subs and sandwiches!!

Funny!!! ;) :lmao:

So if you are ever in Boston... :)

Mangia Mangia is a stand-alone restaurant. The owners are from Sicily, Guiseppe and Paulo Cefalu....sound familiar..Cefalu? Anyway, they are brothers and they have built up this restaurant from scratch. The food is amazing! I have NEVER ordered something that is less than superb. If you are ever out here, we'll take you there!!!

And, I will be in Mass (Marlborough) the end of Sept, to Oct 1 or 2. Perhaps we could get together. How's that ankle....I still have that smelly stuff from my neighbor. I'm surprised I never got stopped by customs. Thank goodness for ziploc bags!
Mari

[Maryon K. Bramley]

I should also add that mom is not totally incapacitated. This in a way makes this more difficult. I think she wants to prove that she is not sick by doing too much. She hasn't left the house except for doctor's appointments, but she does the laundry and dishes (when we leave her alone for a short amount of time) and then she's exhausted and sore. How can we convince her to stop doing things before she gets tired?

We have talked about hospice and do intend to get them in there when it gets to be too much for my sister and I.

Tracy:
I am sorry have not been on in sometime. Am glad they have found a combination of meds for your Mom that is helping. I would talk to Hospice now. They have a lot to offer and you don't need to wait until it becomes to much for you. They will let you know what they can and can't do and they do a great job.

[renegade7]

Just wanted to drop in and say hi - been really busy with work. I hope to do some scrapbooking as well. I started going through stuff the other week, but then things got busy again. Oh well hopefully before the end of the year I will get it done.

Hey girl,

Hate to tell you, but my book is finished. just need to put in the captions. I also made a digi-book and a calendar on shutterfly. You know, the best place I have found for scrapbooking is either JoAnn fabrics (#2) or Michael's crafts (#1). Also the Disney store is great. If you are having problems finding disney related pages please let me know. I will be near Michael's (spitting distance) on Wed and I can go the the world of disney tues or thurs and pick up some scrapbooking packages and send them to you. I would be more than happy to do it. I just LOVE to relive this cruise. :cloud9:
When are you coming to Disneyland? Let me know and I would be thrilled to see you....if you want....anniversary and all. We can get a hold of miles to go and eat at Mangia Mangia and dream all over again!!! Guissippe would be thrilled to have us!!!:grouphug:

Oh brother. I guess I better get moving. I am so not creative....scrapbooking is a struggle for me, but I really want to capture the memories. I have actually progressed to moving all of the supplies and pictures onto the dining room table - now I need to sit down and do something with it. Wish me luck and perserverance.

Besides work, remodel kitchen, finish Ph.D, run DD all over town for classes etc, etc, etc. But it is the winter project because the rubbermaids now take up too much room!:headache:

Hey, do you want to be my pin connection too?
Since our Disney stores dont sell oins and I can only get to DL on average once a yr and I as of yet dont know how to use Dispins.com, theres a couple of times I want to get pins, especially Halloween, and if you happen to be going there would you let me know?

Sure, Rita, I'll be your pin connection....anything like the French connection.....guess not.:rotfl2: I plan on going to the park on Thurs the 9th, so let me know what you want. I will be going there a lot more frequently after school starts...Sept 4th:cool1: :banana: I really miss going there...it is my escape from the real world. The only thing I have to worry about there is.....hmm, can't think of anything to worry about!!!:yay: You can pm me with a note or phone number, and I'll talk to you. I will also look for some cool scrapbooking pages. Those run about $15 a kit. Sorry, I dont know the frequency of the kit updates. I do know that they have princess ones, Disneyland, and Mickey and friends.

Take care and I'll talk to you soon,

Hi Mary!
Hey, do you want to be my pin connection too?
Since our Disney stores dont sell oins and I can only get to DL on average once a yr and I as of yet dont know how to use Dispins.com, theres a couple of times I want to get pins, especially Halloween, and if you happen to be going there would you let me know?

Rita,

If you go to the Disneyland website, and find the link to Disney pins, they take you to this website (official disney) and have all the lastest, soon to be released and all sorts of other pins. I get to it thru the annual passholders link.
Before Lauren was in school, we would go once a week, but school sure does put a crimp in our style!!! I just love to people watch, go thru the shops and take in a ride or two. I do bring my own eats.
Also, scrapbooking....thought of two more websites...one is 'Hot of the Press' and the other is 'Hershners"...I think that's right. google scrapbooking and disney and you should get a few sites.
Take care, Mari

Kelly,
The pin is the DCL logo but done in crystals instead of paint. I saw it on the pin site on the DL website as I explained to Rita.
Let me know....into Mangia Mangia soon? We may go perhaps on Sunday. Wanna go?
Mary:woohoo:

[milestogo]

Bummer, no we can't go on Sunday. I'll look through the pins and see what we have.

Bummer, no we can't go on Sunday. I'll look through the pins and see what we have.

Oh, Maaaaaaaaaaannn, that's too bad. DH was looking forward to it. When would you be able to go...I'll be out of town the next weekend as DD is riding in a 'century' ride for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society...that's 100 miles on a bike!!!! Kpros is also doing this race. I'll be there to cheer them both on...you go guys...I'll just sit here and wait. :thumbsup2
Keep me posted and we'll go see Guiseppe and Pietro and eat ourselves silly!!!
Mary

[milestogo]

Oh now that is too funny, :thumbsup2 obviously we are destined to get together. DH is also riding the century. DD and I are going to hang out with Shari and Staci at the lunch stop, where are you staying and hanging out? If the guys aren't too tired maybe we could go to Mangia Mangia on the way home? We may be pretty tired and grubby, but it would be a great day not to cook.

[milestogo]

Where has he been training?

[memarmay]

Where has he been training?

Oh, this is just too funny. :rotfl: DD is riding, not DH. Allison is active in LLS and her daughter (6 yrs), also on the med cruise, and I willl be there to cheer :cheer2: her on. I'll NEVER ride 100mi. 'course I said I'd never do more than a 5K, and I'm doing a half-marathon in Oct for LLS. :confused3 I don't know where we are staying...Allison made all the reservations. I will find out and let you know. Mangia Mangia sounds like a nice reward. I'll check with DH and make sure...he's out of town for another reason that weekend. It will be fun to cheer at the lunch tablepopcorn:: my favorite place....ah, remember all the neat lunches on the excursions? Will they have tapas, wine and desserts? :lmao: :rotfl2: mmmmmmm..maybe not.:sad1:
On my way to Disneyland to spend the day vegging, people watching and whatever else I want to do! goin' solo:yay: :woohoo:
Oh, Allison has been training with Team In Training...Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We have just had too many friends diagnosed with and die from blood-borne cancers. She is with the Orange Co/Inland Empire chapter.
Better scoot....I hear Mickey calling:smickey: :earseek:

Howdy hi!

I saw a new scrapbooking pack at DL on thursday. It had something to do with the Magic of Disney....no ship, but some pages with the starry outline of the sorcorers apprentice on it and some very nice stickers and frames. That is the only new one I saw. Had a great time....the line for Nemo and the subs was ridiculous!!! I never found either the end or the beginning. That one is a definite wait til school is in session and THEN I'll check out the line...if I can find which way is up!:boat:
Anyway, let me know if you might want something like that.

Hey Mary, we looked for you all day, where did you end up hanging out for the ride? It took us 3 hours to get home the traffic was so bad.

I was at the finish line. Didn't get there until about 3:45, so to make this story short, Lauren and I were in the hotel pool for 3 hours!! So sorry our signals were haywire...my fault. We also spent the night in Ventura....it only took 1-1/2 hrs to get home today. Going north on 101 and 405 was miserable, tho. There was no way Allison could have driven home....She was too tired.

:cheer2: :cool1: :thumbsup2 Congratulations to Ken, Your DH and Allison for completing the Cool Breeze century ride!!!! 100 miles thru the coast and hills (mountains?) of Ventura and Santa Barbara!!! you people are AWESOME!!!!!!:banana: :yay: :cheer2:

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know Tracy's mom passed away this afternoon, at home with family and friends around her.


Hello everyone.. Jenn here!
I talked to Tracy a little bit ago, she is doing as well as one could expect. It will be a rough couple days thats for sure. Services for her Mom are going to be a visitation on Sunday night and a service on Monday. The funeral home is Feldner-Ritchay in Nekoosa, WI. In lieu of flowers they are requesting any donations go to the UW Cancer Center in Wisconsin Rapids. If anyone needs her address to send a card, PM me. Hope everyone has a great night...:angel: :angel:

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it happened so quickly. I've been communicating with Tracy and trying to offer some advice since my mom also had hospice. I had no idea she was so close to the end. Keeping Tracy and her family in my thoughts and prayers......

[winotracy]

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you! Thank you for your offers of prayers, pixie dust and support. Thank you for your virtual greetings, mail greetings and in person visits. Thank you for your phone calls to let me know you care. And thank you for your condolences by discussion forum, email, phone or by mail. It has meant so much to me!

You can never have too many friends and I have been blessed with so many of you!

Today my mom would have been 66 years old. Today also would have marked 45 years that she and my dad were married. They are together today. My mom was an amazing woman. I always knew it, but what really meant so much to me was when her friends would tell me how proud she was of me and my sister and when she would say great things about us to Debbie and I. I would simply reply back "How do you think we got this way?".

Tonight we are getting together with family (some of whom I am planning to surprise at Christmas with a trip on this cruise) to celebrate. Mom would have wanted it this way. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!!

Greetings friends!!

Just wanted to say hi:flower3: and to let you know that we had a terrific weekend sweltering at Disneyland for the half-marathon, 5K and kids' race.
On Sunday, I did the 5K....it started at 7 am and was already in the 80's and the humidity was about the same....tropical storms in the south...wretched things. I had a fantastic time running thru Disneyland and DCA. All the characters were out cheering us on! It ended up at 104 in Anaheim by the heat of the day. :faint: Lauren did great in her race...in DCA. What a grand time. Allison ran the half on Mon am...started at 6 am and it was already in the 70's, by the Disneyland hotel and finished 13.5 miles later at the same spot. By then it was 98 degrees!!!:scared: Lots of characters cheering:cheer2: :banana: and even the groundskeepers were in the act! Around Honda center, and the big A. It was just like running for 3 hours in a huge sauna. Luckily we had all been drinking water for a few days prior to the races and did really well hydration wise.
We are looking forward to next year...just hope it is not on Labor day weekend and pretty please:angel: no tropical storms!!!!!
Love to all, Mari, Allison and Lauren:dance3:

[jeanneg]

Congrats to all the racers! I've seen photos of the half-marathon course in DL and it is VERY hilly. Can't imagine doing it in that heat. Come do the Mickey (26.2) or Donald (13.1) with us at WDW in January. Several of your fellow cruisers will be there.

OK, I am so out of it.......when did they open booking for the new '09 itineraries? Was there a mad rush like with the Panama Canal cruises? I have a phantom cruise booked for the end of '08. I think we can do May 23rd if anything is still available. I've never been to Tortola....plus we get to sail with great people. Unfortunately my TA (Tracy) sent me an email that she was out of town. Will I be able to get on if we wait? That would be the month of our 35th wedding anniversary....guess we'd have to treat you guys to champagne or something. :thumbsup2

We sit in the waiting game now... less than two weeks until baby boy should make his first appearance. No cruising for us for a while. We bailed on the Panama for this year. Oh well! :( there will be other chances.

Hey all your Florida people it is actually 27F out right now! Tomorrow we are projected to be back to the high 70s!!

Sorry to say that we won't be cruising at that time of the year for at least 8 yrs. Kate is starting high school in the fall and when she finishes Brett will be starting high school. Her grades dropped last spring when we were in the Med because she didn't have enough time to make up some of the missed assignments.

Good look to all of those in the 1/2 and full marathon.
That would be a cool thing to do. Maybe next year for me.
Bad training habits prevented me from doing it this year.:rolleyes:



Well as many of you know Jenn & the other girls from Work, Including Dr. Kevin Mooney, who is the Boss.

Have taken on the 1/2 marathon.
This started out as Fun for the Bunch of them :yay:
Jenn, has made sure that each and every person has a DVC room to stay in!
@ the Boardwalk!

Along the way it has turned into a way for them to raise Money for Boys & Girls Club of Woburn, Ma. (http://www.positive-place.org/)

The Girls at the office have, posted on the big board @ the office asking for there support!

Well, they have raised over $2500.00 :woohoo: for the Cause!
Each Girl recieves donations from there Patients !
Hence, a little contest has emerged!
Who can raise the most!

This is where you come in! :hug:

They know, that Jenn is the Disney Queen! :lmao: Yes, Everything Disney!
(she has helped more people in that office plan trips or Save money on a Disney trip!) :rotfl2:

They, also know of her Wacky Friends on the DIS, I think that the fact that Jenn will see about 50 to 100 other Disers (That she knows, im sure she will meet others!) during her walk is Great!

The other Girls will be like who is that, and Jenn will explain, oh Just a Friend I have Cruised with (insert amount of times here) or Met at The World!

The Dis is a very powerful Thing! :wizard:

ok, If Jenn knew, I was doing this, she would Kill me! :scared1:
