Whoo-hoo, Hi Jaime, watcha doin'?

[dsparks]

I'll be thinking about you...I hope everything is okay...do you get bad storms?

The MidWest is this year! Mother Nature is mad at something because she's making up for lost time! :confused3

[dsparks]

When do you get the results of the CT Scan?

[jollyg]

Anyway not sure why Greg's post wants to be last:rotfl:

Just wondering what are some the of the US airlines you everyone uses to travel within the US and who offers the best deals? Looks like my dad may be moving to the US and he was wondering...

Hey Jaime, probably the best one out their right now is Southwest Airlines. They purchased insurance against high jet fuel prices so they are the only ones that are immune from $140+ a barrel oil!

Hey maybe Greg figured out a magic way to always make it to the top of the page:lmao: :lmao:

THE DIS BOARD OBEYS MY COMMAND!!! :wizard:

[jollyg]

We are under a severe thunderstorm watch. It looked like Illinois was getting blasted. We had quite a shower just pass through but no severe weather. Keep your fingers crossed.


Dawn, hope you survive the storms ok.......and everyone gives me a hard time for living in Idaho.....Sheeezz! :rolleyes1

[philatiger]

I am here just been getting used to work again and it has left me wiped out.

I need to unpack my case but thankfully it is only clean clothes now. Holidays are all fun and good but they leave you more exhausted than you start off I think lol.

Trouble is now I have nothing to distract me I cannot think about anything except my disney cruise or even disney holiday it is like i am obsessed.

I know how you feel... I wish we were going on another cruise this year. We do have a few trips to Disney between now and next November, so that helps ease the anticipation.

Chuck :goofy:

[philatiger]

ok...this is weird....I am experiencing the same thing as Greg. I just posted and it put my post up a few posts.

Kathy..... are you up to some hocus pocus
:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Whoo-hoo, Hi Jaime, watcha doin'?

Sorry to leave you last night Dawn...Kierra woke up with another headache...

[Jaime]

When do you get the results of the CT Scan?

In a couple of weeks...then she sees a nurologist in August. Hoping it is nothing...I am getting her eye's tested next week too.

[Jaime]

Good Morning Everyone!

The girls have there first of two dance concerts today...I'll post some pictures later.

Have a great day!

[dsparks]

I heard the rain showers at 7:45 this morning. Other than that I have no idea whether or not the storms went through. :rotfl:

Not much going on today. Probably try and do some sewing. I'll check back in later.

[jollyg]

Morning 09er's!

Not much going on today, just getting ready to head back home tomorrow!

This vacation went by to fast! :sad2:

I guess I shouldn't complain though.....I'll be in Las Vegas with my wife for a week on July 11......no kids this time! :woohoo: :woohoo:

We're going to celebrate my wife and I's birthday's and our anniversary on that trip! Got tickets to Cirque du solei and Mamma Mia! :goodvibes

Dawn, glad the storms didn't come your way. :thumbsup2

I'll check in later........

[Jaime]

I'm assuming you've ruled out sinuses?

They haven't completley ruled out anything...but they don't think it sinuses...Glen has bad sinuses so that was the first thing he asked. Right now they are thinking migrains...but don't know why.

You'll have a great time...Vegas looks like alot of fun! When we went we had the girls with us:confused3

[Jaime]

It is very quiet here today? The girls had some much fun at there show! I'll post some pictures soon.

[LindaBabe]

Oye! Kathy, I must have a strange mind too, because I read the whole post just fine. Must have been a pain in the neck to write it, though!

[dsparks]

Evening Folks!

Sewed all morning and then all afternoon at the pool! :woohoo: First, Sarah came and then Stephanie and Elizabeth and then David brought a pizza(s) and then Sam came. Sam's still here fixing the electric to the pool.

Was going to try and make it too the sewing store this evening but I guess that's not happening.

IF I have the computer, I'll check back in later!

[dsparks]

The next one should be top of the page!

[dsparks]

Whoo-hoo! :cool1:

[dsparks]

Just checking in to say goodnight!

[dsparks]

Now I AM talking to myself!!! :rotfl: Where is every one? I think that this is the longest time this thread has ever gone without conversation!

I hope you are having a great weekend!

I'm off to the sewing store and stopping at the store for some shipping supplies and car wax. Got the van detailed but now I have to wax!

I'll stop back later to see if I'm still talking to myself! :sad2:

[Jaime]

Hi everyone!

Dawn there was something strange going on with the boards yesterday. I had alot of trouble posting...

Really need to get some work done today since we'll be a dance again tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Afternoon all!!

Got everything packed and we're getting ready to head back home....:sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

Dawn, what is Camp Rock? (been on vacation did I miss something?)

Usually when I'm camping I try to avoid the rocks?! :rotfl:

I'll check in later tonight when I'm home........:wave2:

[dsparks]

[quote=jollyg;25943009]Dawn, what is Camp Rock? (been on vacation did I miss something?)

:scared1: It stars the Jonas Brothers! It's Disney's next High School Musical! Hheelloo!

Glad to hear from you too, Greg, the boards have been unbelievably slow!

What's nice about going away is it's always nice to go home :lovestruc

Really?! Well, now you have something to catch up on! Better get into Disney before you go! :lmao: HSM was this generations Grease. Does that ring a bell? There already is HSM1 and HSM2. The third in production. They star Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabiel, Zach Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

The Jonas Brothers toured at first with Hanna Montana/Miley Cyrus.

[dsparks]

Don't worry you can join the club...Shell's favorite Disney animated movie was "Shrek" :lmao: :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Let me know if you get THAT joke!

[dsparks]

Of course, this should be #15.

[dsparks]

And because I carried the boards for the last two days, I think I deserve the top!

[dsparks]

Leave the spoils you hungry peasants, the VICTORY is mine! Sorry, I just got done watching Enchanted again! :lmao:

[jd99]

did i steal it?

Darn. I was just cruising through and thought I saw an opportunity!

[SeaSickPsycho]

Good evening all!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. We are getting rain!!!!:cool1: It is soo dry in GA.

Has anyone been to the Halloween party at the Magic Kingdom? Is it fun?

[Jaime]

Good evening all!

Has anyone been to the Halloween party at the Magic Kingdom? Is it fun?

We went in 2005 and really enjoyed it. We walked onto almost every ride. On Buzz we were the only ones...know one around us. There was lots of candy...free face painting in toon town...dance parties with characters...they even had themed fireworks and a parade. We enjoyed it more than the Christmas party. The Christmas party is fun but there is something to be said when your children can wear "normal" Halloween costumes without having to wear winter jackets:) It is something we want to do again.

[Jaime]

Hi Jeff...that was close Dawn:lmao:

[Jaime]

Who's watched Camp Rock? I think I've watched it 3 - 4 times now!

:happytv:

Kierra really wanted to see it but I couldn't find it on TV on any one of the listed nights...she was upset...I am wondering if it was only on US tv??? We normally get all the american shows including High School Musical 1 & 2 so I am not sure why we couldn't find it.

[Jaime]

Leave the spoils you hungry peasants, the VICTORY is mine! Sorry, I just got done watching Enchanted again! :lmao:


I think watching Enchanted on the cruise with Glen was one of Alicia's favorite things...she had to buy a Gasielle doll as soon as we got to the MK. She was very pleased to see her in the parade at Hollywood studios.

[Jaime]

Did anyone see WALLE yet?

[mom x4,grandma x4]

I'M BACK !![COLOR="Black"][/COLOR



THANKYOU for all the birthday wishes, i do appreciate them:goodvibes

We just got back from the beach. Only got 4 or 5 pictures this time, will post them tomorrow.

we had nice 60 degree weather with almost no wind most of the time , so it was warm enough to walk the beach. From our camp it was 1/4 mile to the trail and the trail was 1 1/4 mile to the beach, then climb up over the sand dune and down to the beach, plus we walked about amile down the beach on saturday.
They slept all the rest of the day and we had to wake them for food and a late night potty break before bedtime. They ran circles around us and all over the sand, they probably ran 3 times as far as we walked.

we took them back down to the beach this morning and they had energy, but nothing like the day before. Then they slept all the way home and are still laying around We did see 2 rabbits, 2 large doe and several squirrels along the trail to the beach.

well I have laundty washing, dogs to bathe, all the fun things that go along with camping for a few days. at least I dont have to unpack since we just took our house with us:lmao:

Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Great job on all those posts, I see Chuck snuk in and grabbed the top once, but Dawn kept Jeff away,s o that evened it out;)

Will try an dcheck back later tonight before bedtime if I get the chance after doing laundry and such.

Hi everyone!
Kathy just reminded me that I haven't posted in a while - sorry! And I didn't even get the whip - must be a freebie for a first time offense!:goodvibes

We've been crazy busy - I took a part time job to go along with my full time job (b/c I apparantly hate to sleep:lmao: ) and the kids are on a swim team this summer. Very fun but a total time sucker!

I don't have time right now to go back and catch up but I will! I hope everyone is well and enjoying their summer!

I'm with Jaime. I think the Halloween party was the most fun! But in all fairness when we went to the Christmas party we were freezing! At all the parties, we've been able to get on any ride we wanted with virtually no wait!

Here are the boys with their face paint. I had made their outfits. Skylar was Indiana Jones and Christian was Captain Jack Sparrow.

Hi Michelle, Glad to hear from you! Check back when you can. We've just basically been harassing each other! :lmao:

[dsparks]

Whoo-hoo! I got top of the page again. And I wasn't even trying!

Greg, Shrek is not only NOT Disney, it makes fun of Disney through the whole movie!

Kathy, Glad to have you back.

I will be gone from Thursday through Sunday this week. Gatlinburg you know! :banana: Stopping Sunday in Mason, Ohio to see some friends too. What a fun weekend!

[mruhaak]

Hi Gang!:hippie:
It's been a busy weekend! Friday night we had a really bad storm with "straight line winds" come through. It was scary. :scared1: We were without power for most of the evening afterwards. We were fortunate not to have any damage but some of our neighbors did. Over 100,000 people in Omaha were without power and many still are! They said it could take weeks to get them all back on.

Chris had a wedding saturday so the boys and I were alone all day. I took them on a couple of outings and wore them out really good!:rotfl:

Today we went to an art fair and just got caught up on things.

I was following the conversation about Halloween and Christmas at Disney. Just wondering, why is it that there are hardly any lines? Wouldn't that be a busy time? I'm more of a cruising expert than Disney could somebody enlighten me?

Melanie, Sorry to hear about the storm. I really relate because that is just like we had come through! Glad you faired well.

The special parties have a limited number of guests that are admitted. Maybe someone else knows the number but it's like 1/4 of the usual guests!

Before the boys were in the older grades :sad1: , I use to plan our vacation around going to the Halloween party on the day we arrived, (wouldn't do anything all day and then go to the party).

[dsparks]

Good Morning! I hope every one is around today!

I have lots of stuff to accomplish these 3 days in order to be able to leave first thing Thursday morning! But I'll be back to check on everyone!

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Good morning nanaheads,

well I think I have recovered from our short trip. All the clean up is done. The dogs are still tired and snoozing a lot after running all weekend, which makes it easier for me today.

Going to be mid 80's today. Hope we have a good breeze, if so I wont have to turn on the AC. I hate high electric bills:sad2:

Hi Michelle, good to see you again, please drop by when ever you can. We all understand how crazy and hectic our lives can get at times.:eek:

I havnt heard the term Straight line winds. What does that mean??


Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Tell me about it, Dawn. Why does it take so much work to get ready to go on vacation?:confused3

It's twice as much work when you return:sad2:
Packing to go is easy for me, but when we return, there is laundry,grocery shopping, mail to go through, dust has settled everywhere, dogs want your 100% attention all day long etc.... I get tired just thinking about it:faint:


Kathy

[mruhaak]

I havnt heard the term Straight line winds. What does that mean??


Kathy

Basically (I think) it's really strong winds in a storm but they are not circular like a tornado. I heard these winds were about 65-80 mph and were even faster higher up. That's why there was so much damage around here.

This is really sad but there were 2 teenage boys killed because a tree fell on their car with them in it.

[mruhaak]

Hi Bob:hippie:

Come visit us more often!

[SeaSickPsycho]

Good morning all!

I guess it is afternoon where I am. I am recovering from all my weekend fun. Scrapbooking for too many hours.

I am glad to hear everyone had safe travels this weekend. I hate the getting back clean-up too.

I just finished unpacking the car and am already dreading having to load everything back up next week. I brought a lot of projects to get finished. I brought so many my head is spinning. I am now making a list so I can stay on task.

I have not looked for Halloween fabric for my extender yet. I will do that next week unless I go to a little quilt shop in the mountains. Anyone know how many pockets to put on the extender? One per person?

The cruise will be here before we know it! I am getting excited. I will not be taking any projects with me on the cruise.

Have a great day all.

[mruhaak]

Here's a photo of the boys at the top of the tower out at the Park I took them to on Saturday. You can see the Loess Hills in the background. The tower was built as there is a big bird watching program at the nature center there.

[mruhaak]

Here's a photo of the omaha skyline (in the distance) from the tower. The Loess Hills are a unique type of soil. The only other place you can find them is somewhere in China.

Renee-
I would be excited if I were cruising Halloween too.. you're right it will be here before you know it!

I'm sure glad I'm going to have Dawn to make me a fish extender for our cruise. Last year I just used a felt gift bag! I'm not much of a seamstress!!

[mruhaak]

Top of the page for me!!!

[SeaSickPsycho]

Before the boys were in the older grades :sad1: , I use to plan our vacation around going to the Halloween party on the day we arrived, (wouldn't do anything all day and then go to the party).

I was thinking of doing the Halloween party before the cruise we are doing in October or just going to one of the parks the day we get back. Which would you suggest?

Also will it be crowded during the Halloween party? I think there will be some Halloween stuff on the boat.

Any costume ideas? We have tons of pirate stuff but I was thinking Titanic Survivors (or maybe some who didn't make it)???

[SeaSickPsycho]

Renee-
I'm sure glad I'm going to have Dawn to make me a fish extender for our cruise. Last year I just used a felt gift bag! I'm not much of a seamstress!!

Last year we crusied just before Christmas and I used a stocking I bought for $1.00. I was so desperate I assembled my door decorations in the cabin. I made a Mickey shaped wreath to go around the cabin numbers. I bought the stuff at Walmart just before we got on the ship.

[SeaSickPsycho]

I am still not having any luck with my October 30th cruise. Is it possible that there is another thread that is more active? How could I find it?

[philatiger]

Good Morning! I hope every one is around today!

I have lots of stuff to accomplish these 3 days in order to be able to leave first thing Thursday morning! But I'll be back to check on everyone!

Hi Dawn...hope you have a great trip. I am being lazy and don't want to read back through the posts. What are the dimensions of the fish extenders and how many pockets do you usually have on them? I can actually sew and may make an attempt at making one.

CHuck :goofy:

[philatiger]

Do all the first time cruisers know about the autographed pillow cases on the cruise? I was looking at some of my things from the cruise and saw my pillow case that I needed to get framed.

I took a large white picture mat with me last time and dropped it off to get all the autographs. I bought one that came with a frame for under $20.

Ok about time I gave you a little unofficial Malta holiday report so here goes nothing

Our First Day at Malta

Well first full day at least we left home Wednesday but were travelling until about 2.30am in the morning.

The first full day me and Mum were up early and decided to walk down to the seafront and look at the sea.

Here is a photo of my Mum in front of the Sea.

http://img4011.photobox.co.uk/94502159185d261c29f02115e13abf4cb28989ff213429ae0b bfb5b249c3ab129a81e63e.jpg


Here is the sea view from our self catering apartment the place was ok but very very basic but we could see the Sea from the back and the front which was fantastic.

http://img4011.photobox.co.uk/5078841883af03d4f095bfc38d60f39cf2b96ab195a5e1b00b 343770ffa70f985fab2c55.jpg

Then we got caught by evil Time Share Touts trying to force us to buy a time share by convincing us we had won a holiday.

After we finally got away about 2 hours later we relaxed by the pool here is Mum again.

thanks for that tip. Didn't know they would also take picture mats. Will do that for the next cruise. Although I do like the pillow case.

Then we had a bit of a siesta and went back out as the sun was setting for dinner.

Here are some pics.

Wow! The pictures are beautiful and the food looks sooooo good.

[Bellybee]

Thanks it was a great holiday the only downsides were pushy time share sales people and slippery pavements and coming home.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Loved the photos. :goodvibes

Nassau and St.Martin has those dang time share people too.:scared:
I have finally got use to being rude to them, if you say anything or even look at them, they stick to you like molasses.
we had one lady follow us down a street, across the street and finally we went into a store and she went after someone else. What a :headache:
Glad the rest of the trip was nice. The weather looks nice, how hot was it?

Do all the first time cruisers know about the autographed pillow cases on the cruise? I was looking at some of my things from the cruise and saw my pillow case that I needed to get framed.

another thing new people may not know is even though its not on the room service menu you can order mickey bars and in the evenings you can order warm chocolate chip cookies:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

I am still not having any luck with my October 30th cruise. Is it possible that there is another thread that is more active? How could I find it?

It is not my cruise. I am on the October 30th, three day. DH is afraid to leave work for a week. It is really hard on him. We are doing the 7 day with you next year.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

sorry, I found your thread and i see your a 3 day.

I have cruised with Kay before. She is an older, nice lady.
we did a 3 day with her and her friend. Her DH passed away a few days before the cruise. She was quite a trooper.

I see what you mean about a quiet thread. That happens often on 3 and 4 day cruises.
I have had a couple of those with only 2 other families,but we did meet and say hello and saw each other around the ship a lot.
I doubt if Kay will remember me, but tell her I said Howdy:goodvibes
Teller I was the lady who was begging for someone to post with me and right towards the end she started posting after lurking.

On cruise critic site roll call boards there are 2 ladies on your cruise.
maybe you could drop by and say hello there and see if you can get everyone on one site together.

I was trying to say that DH and DS are happy to stay in the cabin and watch the weather channel. I had to beg them to get off the ship in St. Thomas! Can you imagine! We go to the Animal Kingdom Lodge for a week and DH only goes to MK and Epcot for about four hours each!

YIKES, i cant stand to stay inside, all the fun is out of the room:goodvibes
well if they want to stay in, you'll have plenty of disers to hang with and have some fun:thumbsup2

I would go nuts if I didnt go out and do something, especially on one of the islands. That is the reason for going on the cruise.

we'll have to work on them:thumbsup2
when other kids your sons age join in the thread we will have to have them write and get aquainted, maybe if he has a friend waiting for him, he will want to go to the clubs and do more???

I am now officially bored to death. I have seven more days at the cabin and I have no idea what I am going to do all week. DH just called and said he is staying in Atlanta tonignt. I guess I'll plan some more Disney trips.

[dsparks]

I was thinking of doing the Halloween party before the cruise we are doing in October or just going to one of the parks the day we get back. Which would you suggest?

Also will it be crowded during the Halloween party? I think there will be some Halloween stuff on the boat.

Any costume ideas? We have tons of pirate stuff but I was thinking Titanic Survivors (or maybe some who didn't make it)???

I would always go for the Halloween party! That's the way to do MK! No, it is NOT crowded. Have you been to a special party? They do special parades and AWESOME fireworks! The last I knew they were still doing them--360 degree fireworks! It is one of those awe-inspiring moments for the first time! I never get sick of MK :love:

You should look to see what they are doing at the Halloween party! If it is still heavily pirate oriented the boys might still want to be pirates!

gotta keep the guys out of here, maybe we scared them off?? they havnt been around as much today.

I took a large white picture mat with me last time and dropped it off to get all the autographs. I bought one that came with a frame for under $20.

That's what we are going to do this next time. The pillowcases we love but they are fading fast

what is the Disney screening room?

Chuck :goofy:

Well, I am not entirely sure. I received an email message sometime last year asking me to join a group of moms and answer some questions for Disney. It sounded too goo to be true but has turned out to be real.

About once a week we are given simple tasks: discuss a DVD release, give suggestions for movie related websites, look at story boards for possible new movies, etc.

I have no idea how I was selected and even asked the facilitator but got no reply. I think there are about 500 of us and you have to have a child between the ages of 5-11 or so.

The best part is seeing story boards and story lines for movies that have not even been made. Oh, and we get to help with TV adds for upcoming releases.

What I really want is to get on the list of people who get to host the cruise launch parties in their homes. You get a ton of free Disney Cruise stuff and get to have a party for all your friends and family!

I was going to have them sign a white matte and then put a photo of the trip in it afterwards. You would think that wouldn't be a big deal since we do have a photography business. But it got to be the week of and I didn't have a matte. And I had SO MANY things to pack and worry about for the 4 of us that I decided to just let that one go! Maybe next time!

It was rough packing for two little ones and DH and one of mine was still in diapers (the children that is:lmao:) That's another reason why I'm glad to wait until 2009 to cruise again. Not that I'm sure it's gonna get any easier!:rotfl:

Chuck, Nice pictures of AKL. My daughter, Stephanie, myself and the boys all agree that the DAK Lodge was our favorite but other than one time when Stephanie, a cast member at the time, had 75 percent off the deluxe resorts! We stayed at the DAK and Yacht Club that time. To much $$ for us. Heck, I have reservations in August for a preferred room at the ASSports for out-the-door price of $64/night! :lmao:

wow...that's a great rate for all star....can't beat that compared to the AKL. Since our time share is the AKV we tend to stay there, it's easier to get a reservation since we can book 11 months out. We would like to try Wilderness lodge but there is never an opening.

I would do the Halloween Party...you'll love it. You can also get in the MK as early as 4:00 even though the party doesn't start until 7:00. They just give you your braclet when you enter. If you like doing rides and seeing the characters the party is the best time to go to the MK. The candy is an extra bonus too:goodvibes

[Jaime]

Morning everyone!

Wow this was a busy board yesterday!

We were at dance last night from 5:30 until 11:30...everyone here is sleepy. It was a fablous show...the dancers are very talented. My girls had alot of fun...this is the last show for the year. Lenny Len from the movie Step Up 2 was mc. He really got the crowd going.

Today is Canada Day...so we'll have a barbque a little later and if our girls can stay up we will go to the fireworks.

[Jaime]

I would always go for the Halloween party! That's the way to do MK! No, it is NOT crowded. Have you been to a special party? They do special parades and AWESOME fireworks!

[Jaime]

I love the AKL pictures Chuck! We looked into buying DVC there on our last cruise...we decided not too because of the cost of airfare:sad2: The cost of airfare will make it impossible for us to continue our annual trips. It looks very beautiful there! We are hoping to rent points to stay there before our next cruise or we may look into buying a small DVC membership of resale and just bank and borrow for a trip every third year.

[philatiger]

I feel your pain on the airfare. Although we have been pretty lucky, even now, with gettting decent airfare. Philly is a main hub for US scare and Air Tran so it is not too bad, but I am sure it's just a matter of time. We can make the drive in about 18 hours if we had to.'

We love the AKL, we were going to buy 3 years ago, but decided to wait for AKV to open up. When we were there last year they were offeringa great incentive and we took the bait. :banana:

Melanie, It may be hard but you'll be glad you traveled with them. My boys travel like seasoned adults. (Well, at least I think so.)

Thanks for the encouragement Dawn.

My goal is to teach my boys to do some of it themselves eventually. Their father doesn't pack anything for himself, I have to pack everything.

Last year when we went to Yellowstone I decided to boycott and make him pack his own things. Don't know if you remember this story... but we ended up going to a MALL in Casper Wyoming to find him shirts. Because he hadn't packed ANY shirts for a week's vacation.:rotfl:

I also hope to teach them to pick up behind themselves too... :confused3

The smoke seems ot have cleard from the fires in California today. They say it will be back later today . So I had better enjoy looking at the sun now, it spoon will be behind a hazy cloud.:sad2:

They are having the Olympic trials in Eugene, which isnt too far from me so that is all we hear on the TV all day and night. It seems most of our stations are local Eugene stations. i will be glad when they end this weekend.


Not much happening to write about. I still dont have my photos downloaded but will try later today to do that.

Hi Guys and Gals,

Hope everyone is doing well.

Its nice and sunny and warm here this evening so I have been to my MILs place who is away and had a BBQ and chilled in her garden just got home.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Hi Lisa,
boy we are quiet today:confused3

We need to get a chatter going here about something, so I will post a question of the day for everyone to answer. That helps to get aquainted.



Who is your favorite Disney character and why?

My answer is Donald Duck.
I love him because he seems more real due to loosing his temper, he makes mistakes but appologises later. I can relate to him and goofy.
Mickey is to much a goody two shoes who never does anything wrong.
Plus Donald make sme laugh so hard I cry, especially whenhe is goofing around with Chip and Dale.


Ok, now its your turn to answer.

Kathy

[SeaSickPsycho]

Favorite Character? There are too many to choose. I guess I would have to say Mickey Mouse. Favorite princess....the Little Mermaid.

We did make out climb up Bald Mtn. this morning. We got there around 8:30, pulled into the parking lot and no one was there! I normally wouldn't have thought anything about it but with craxy hiker I was a little nervous. Took my time getting the kids out of the car and sunscreen/bug spraying them. Then the ranger came by to chit chat and told us that there had bee a lot of rattle snakes on the trail. :scared1: We finally get away from him and head up the trail only to reach the summit and find out it is closed because they are spraying some toxic sealer on the stones. :mad:

So we headed into town and I shopped for Halloween fabric at an awesome quilt shop. They said to come back at the end of the month because they'll have a lot more in stock.

I am now going to make dinner and buy tickets to the Halloween party at MK for the Everest weekend.

Nana is for bananaheads. My kids call me grandma. I would not like them to call me nana. Just a personal preference.

I'm just waiting for her to get home so we can have dinner!! :thumbsup2

I'll check in later.......

Janel,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Kathy,
Correct me if I'm wrong... but did you go in 06 too? Because I went in 07...


Your absolutely correct. I cant believe I forgot to put in 06 on my answer:rolleyes1

well another birthday, you know how the minds tends to be more forgetful as the years go by:lmao: :lmao:
06 was the first cruise where we became bananaheads.:goodvibes

Guesss after 16 cruises (so far) I am entitled to forget when one of them was taken.;)

Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Umm... my favorite Disney character.

I've always been a bit of a Peanuts fan (which are NOT disney), I collect Peanuts Christmas ornaments.... so I have to think on what my favorite DISNEY character would be...

I gotta go with the Big Cheese... Mickey himself!

I love peanuts characters too.!!

Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

What! This thread isn't hopping??? I'll never be able to keep up!


This thread is moderate, NOT hopping:goodvibes
We do great for the amount of people we have, however most other threads I have posted on , we often do 10 or more pages in a day, now thats hopping!;)
Just wait and see when the 08 cruise is over and many of those folks come here to post, then watch the pages fly by popcorn::

Dawn, do you remember what our record was last year for the most pages posted in one day?? I am pretty sure it was 30+ pages, fairly close to the cruise.

kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Chuck, Greg, good to see you check in this afternoon.:thumbsup2

You must have noticed the ladies got the top while you were off working:lmao:

I just got back from walking the dogs. I got a late start and boyit was HOT out there. I usually go about 2 p.m., but today it was 4 p.m. and it is 86.5 degrees out there. I took my umbrella so I would be in the direct sun. That helped some.
They each drank a huge bowl of water when we came in.

I am so thankful we have AC in this RV.

Well Greg should be home soon.
cold sandwiches, chips and fruit tonight. I am not cooking in this heat!

Kathy

Kathy

I was just thinking I guess I'll know I'm a Disney cruise fanatic when I can't keep them straight either! :lmao:

[mruhaak]

What! This thread isn't hopping??? I'll never be able to keep up!

Renee... Kathy is right about that one. Just wait until the 2008 cruise is over, then we'll have a whole new cast of characters and it will be so busy that you almost have to check in a couple times of day otherwise you're hopelessly behind.

[mruhaak]

It will be an evening of watching "Transformers" for us. Chris bought it last night for Alex and we promised if he ate all his supper tonight we would watch it...

[mruhaak]

To be honest I was hoping for TOP OF THE PAGE...

GOT IT!!


Night all!

[SeaSickPsycho]

It will be an evening of watching "Transformers" for us. Chris bought it last night for Alex and we promised if he ate all his supper tonight we would watch it...

We are watching RV for the millionth time. I am not sure what it is about the movie but it makes me want to run out and buy one (until I think of putting gas/diesel in the thing). I had an Excursion that only got about 11 mph, but it was peppy with a V10. So glad I don't have it now.

They are selling RV lots near our cabin for $100,000!:scared1: I thought the point was to get to see different places. It looks like a really fun place to stay though.

[dsparks]

Good Evening All!

Phew! I'm pooped but can't slow down yet! I did get everything checked off my list though. Another big day tomorrow.

My favorite character is Mickey, Goofy, Donald and Eeyore. Now don't make me choose. That would be like telling to choose between my children. Can't be done! :upsidedow

Kathy, I believe at one point we had up to 40 pages in one day!

Melanie, I do remember the shirt shopping for Chris :rotfl2: The boys choose their own clothes and get them out but I still check them (mostly so that everything matches!) They're pretty good when we are in the getting ready to go mode--of just doing everything I say!

Trying to watch America's Got Talent. I'll try to check in first thing in the morning before I get involved...

[pgfour]

Hi All!!!! :wave2:

Finally checking in to say "hi!"

Melanie -- I hear you had some bad weather your way last week -- hope all is ok at your place. My sister moved to Fremont on Tuesday, just in time for your hot weather!! They were unscathed by the storm.

Gotta get the kid to bed!

Bye Nanas!!!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Dawn I think your right it was 40+ pages in one day.:thumbsup2

Hi Cheri,
good to hear from you. drop by more often:)


Melanie, great job keeping the men from the top of the page:thumbsup2
Ladies ruled today:love:


Good night everyone, past my bedtime tonight

Kathy

[Bellybee]

My Favourite Disney Charatcter?

Wow that was a real tough question I think it would probably be The Beast as the beast not the prince.

I just think he is superb all grumpy and mean but eventually learning a bit of kindness I just think he is wonderful.

[Jaime]

Good Morning Everyone!

Favorite characters...Winnie the Pooh, Donald & Mickey.

Alicia loves Belle and Kierra loves Cinderalla...they both love Minnie & Mickey.

I have to bring Kierra to get her eye's tested today...

It is beautiful here this morning...so far the nicest day we had this year.

Okay since you all talk about the movie RV so much I need to watch it:goodvibes

Have a great day!

[Jaime]

Dawn I think your right it was 40+ pages in one day.:thumbsup2

Ok, favorite character is Donald or Mickey.....depends on my mood?! :rolleyes1

RV.....great movie....watched it in High Definition the other night and couldn't stop laughing!! :lmao: :lmao:

With everyone leaving for Gatlinburg today and tomorrow I'm not sure how many Nana's are going to be posting on the 08 thread? :confused3 (I might be a permanent fixture on this thread until they get back?) :confused3

I'll check in later......

Hi Dawn, be careful driving this weekend and have fun, take your camera. We all want to see pictures, details and more pictures:rolleyes1

Hi Greg,

I've made a pretty good hit on the list! :yay: By the time I got back from the tires, the boys had the dishwasher emptied and put away and the pool chemicals checked! All the hairs are colored :rotfl2: At least for a few days! Now for the baking. Taking a break to get off the feet for a little bit.

They just issued a severe thunderstorm watch for our area.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Dawn,
what are you baking today??


Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

I wish I had my camera handy.
Minnie is asleep onthe couch, she is snoring and her mouth is barely open and the tip of her tongue is hanging out. Her head is cocked sideways and her ears are straight up, plus her tail is wagging.
she looks so funny. crazy dog:lmao: :lmao:

Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

I can feel Chuck and Greg breathing down my neck and the top gets closer;)

I think it is still 2 or 3 posts to go??

Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

[dsparks]

Don't you just love the way d-o-g-s sleep! Alexis likes to sleep on her back too! Last night she was mad. She saw the suitcase in the room. She got down off the bed. (She can't get up and down by herself.) When I got up about 2, she LED me back to bed! She must have had time to think that being mad wasn't such a good idea! :rotfl2:

Yes, I baking to 4th of July cheesecake pies and zucchini bread for my cabin (and anyone else that might want some!) Well, I guess I've sat long enough better get back to the job at hand.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Now you see the problem I have created?

we passed the top and did it so well, I think we only have 5 more posts until we hit the top again.
Now do I wait to see if the guys sneak in and take it or keep posting to get it myself??


kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Decisions, decisions,

Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Minnie knows that the suitcase means we are leaving too.
she will go and pout all day where ever I am. then when I set it up on the bed to pack, she goes to the opposite sideof the bed, puts her chin on the bed and just stares at me with a sad look. One time she even had little tears rolling down her checks:sad2:
I could hardly believe my eyes, talk about a guilty feeling:guilty:

Kathy

[jollyg]

15 posts in a row by Kathy!! I think we have a new record!!

Too bad I really didnt have something more interesting to say huh??:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Dawn,
your baking inspired me.
I got up walked the dogs, put the laundry in to dry and made a batch of sugar free peanut butter cookies.

Of course the pups each had to sample one to give their approval:lmao:

Now that it's 85 in here I had to turn on the AC for a bit.

back later,

kathy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Dawn, do you like carrot bread? I never use to but I have an awesome receipt for very moist carrot bread. It taste weet enough for dessert.
my sons like to put a dab of cool whip on it and make a sandwich out of it.
You just dump it all together accept grating and getting some moisture out of the carrots.

Let em know if your interested and I will send it to you. I think I have it here in my box in the RV, not stored.

Kathy

[mruhaak]

They are selling RV lots near our cabin for $100,000!:scared1: I thought the point was to get to see different places. It looks like a really fun place to stay though.

I'm with you. There is a place around here you can do that. I wanted our camper so we could take it on our trips. Not just park it for the summer. But with the cost of gas I'm rethinking the whole thing...:sad2:

[mruhaak]

Hi All!!!! :wave2:

Finally checking in to say "hi!"

Melanie -- I hear you had some bad weather your way last week -- hope all is ok at your place. My sister moved to Fremont on Tuesday, just in time for your hot weather!! They were unscathed by the storm.

Poor pets. My cat just uses the potty on our suitcases when we get back. They can't be cleaned and I have to replace them. (We no longer have the cat.):sad1: I was allergic and it was messing up everything. It has a good home now.

[mruhaak]

I have to try and help the girls :lmao: :lmao:

Hi Terri...

I mean Pooh whorh...:lmao: I still laugh at that one...

[mruhaak]

Dawn I got it on 08 today :banana: :banana: :banana:

Somehow I have a feeling this is gonna be easy for the next few days while they're all in Gaitlinburg...:lmao:

[SeaSickPsycho]

Kathy,

I am sure I missed it but would you mind telling me where you are? I am in NE GA right now and it is warm but not humid.

Renee

[mruhaak]

At least I am building my post count. I want to hit 10,000 by the 08 cruise, still have a ways to go :thumbsup2

Hi Renee,
Kathy's in Oregon, but she recently moved there from Florida...

[mruhaak]

Well.. Renee... do you want the top?

[theostwalts]

Ok, I heard from a certian someone that the women had taken over this thread and the men were getting beat up on. That certian someone carries a mean whip and I took it as a hint I needed to post on here more often or else. So I am checking back in before I get into anymore trouble.....:thumbsup2

[mruhaak]

Oh! I thought for sure you'd take it!!:rotfl:

I suppose I should do some work since "photoboy" will be back down here soon;)

[mruhaak]

BRANTLEY!:goodvibes

[SeaSickPsycho]

Somehow I have a feeling this is gonna be easy for the next few days while they're all in Gaitlinburg...:lmao:

I am missing everything...who got to go to Gaitlinburg? It is so fun there, well fun, but not Disney fun.

[mruhaak]

Renee-
A bunch of Nanas over on the 2008 board are going to Gaitlinburg. They planned it a long time ago. I could of gone, but of course, I had to quit my job and decide to work for our business... sooo... no vacation this summer!:sad1:

Dawn is one of the ones going too! So we might see a little more action on this board while they're gone.

[theostwalts]

:wave2: Hey Melanie

I have been MIA and got into trouble with you know who!!!!!:rotfl2:

I guess I had better catch up so I will know what is going on.

I do not think we will be on the 08 cruise, but we will probably do the 09 Nannahead Cruise:cool1: :cool1:

[jollyg]

Somehow I have a feeling this is gonna be easy for the next few days while they're all in Gaitlinburg...:lmao:

I wouldn't be so sure......Kathy, Chuck and myself are still here!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
