Just going out for a meal at a local French restaurant.

Bye for now. Be good.;)

After 3 Disney cruises, I've NEVER been here! I sure hope to experience it this time. :goodvibes

Enjoy! I should have some lunch too. :goodvibes

[lillygator]

I was just noticing the saved chairs!

[lillygator]

we've never been to the adult pool either!!

[HollyTyler]

we've never been to the adult pool either!!
Oh, it's GONNA happen this time!

[lillygator]

right now we are debating on whether or not to renew our Gator tickets....we don't have the money number one, but if we let them go, we will probably never get them again......we've been season tickets holders for so long I just hate to see them go.

[MrsMork]

I just can't get up off my duff to do anything!

I've been out cutting blackberry vines. UGH!! I would be a happy woman if I never heard the word blackberry again! :mad: They are a weed here in the northwest and take over everything.:headache: I have been cutting and raking around the pump house yesterday afternoon and this morning. DrHug needs to paint and replace the roof on the pump house, but he has to be able to get to it to do that. We spray them each fall and spring, but don't want to spray close to the well so those have to be cut out, raked into a pile and burned. They have horrible thorns. OUCH! I covered up with jeans, double long sleeves and thick gloves this time so I only have gotten stabbed a few times. :sad2:

[calmom]

Thanks for posting the pictures!! I'm with you Holly - I need this vacation!

Thanks all for the tips on the over the door shoe holder. I think I'm going to plan on leaving one of them - give them to my favorite CM, taking one home.
Lisa

[lillygator]

yes, I plan to make a special trip to the adult pool!

[calmom]

Ok, really leaving now. Everyone have a great day! Lisa

[lillygator]

Lisa - be sure and take lots of photos of the boys when the find out!

[scottishwee35]

Ok...got to go and start the day. I made a cute flyer to put in the kids treasure chest (we are suprising them tomorrow with the cruise). I made a map that will be taped to our door so when we get back from my parents they will see it. I put an X on the map where the treasure chest is that is full of pirate stuff, 100 pins for trading, and their lanyards. This is what it says:
EASTER 2008
Aye! You found the treasure! You are indeed excellent pirates. Please join me on a 15-night cruise on the Disney Magic as we follow the path of pirates of the past through the Panama Canal! Ms. Symon, Ms. Brown, and Mr. Shermon have all given their approval for missed school. Be sure to be good and thank your Mommy and Daddy for this trip of a lifetime!
Love,
Your pal Mickey

And then I added our logo and a seashell/beach border. I think I might make it into a magnet. The people listed are their teachers and Vice-Principal. Can't wait!

Beautiful :thumbsup2

So who wishes they were here right now?

are most guys going with just the black tux? I am debating on the black tux versus the two jacket set. I can see the white jacket getting little hand marks all over it on the way to dinner!

Oh V, I know that's a tough decision. But you do use your tickets, so is there anything else you can sacrifice instead?

[MrsMork]

I have to go take my berry britches off and put on something respectable. We need to run up to the MH dealer and pick up our rig. We had all the little things we found that needed to be fixed done at the one year mark....free.

[woody73]

Argghh! There should be a 10 minute rule. Stuff left for 10 minutes gets dunked.

I'm stubborn enough to shove one of those towels out of the way and sit on the chair and when that person comes back to complain, I have no problem reminding them that there's no saving of chairs allowed.

[ibouncetoo]

Just been on the calendar on PJ's siggy and I noticed for our last full day mention of a Dis sit down lunch.:cool1: I must have missed that somewhere, but it sounds a great idea as the next day we will be all saying our goodbyes. W4ll apart from a few folk we will bump into in DL that is.

Jackie, I think your name was there as the co ordinator. Any info?

I think we just said NOON at Lumieres **OR** do you guys think Parrot Cay would be better...that way we could table hop without confusing servers?

Whichever we decide, I will take care of alerting the head server for whatever team has that restaurant that day, so they can 'reserve' a section of the restaurant for us. Whichever....wear your lime green stuff!

[iankh]

Two sets here. Black tails, white pique vest and white bow tie and white dinner jacket with black vest and black bow tie.

I'm right above there in a few weeks!

[HollyTyler]

Well, I'm out of here for the day. Have to tie up some loose ends around here and get ready to pick Tyler up, have dinner, then head to the Easter vigil at church this evening. Gonna try to swing by Target on the way to pick up Tyler to grab one last item I forgot that I wanted in his Easter basket (a book from a series he loves -- Treehouse series or something like that). But if I don't have time, that's OK too because I'll just add to his basket the goodies my folks brought yesterday. :thumbsup2 In addition to tons of candy, they brought sidewalk chalk and a can of silly string. :goodvibes OH! Have to stop at the store for carrots to leave for that crazy bunny! He'll get hungry hiding all those eggs outside!

I'll be back late tonight to catch up with everybody.

[cquick]

AAACCKKK!!!! My eyes, my eyes! :eek:

OH, MY! I actually have that pattern here at home, I could run out to Walmarts or Joannes and buy that neon green and make a dress like that and then wear my pruple wig! OH< YEAT!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Any chance you could pay monthly for your Gator tickets or something like that?

I'm right above there in a few weeks!

Have a look at this pic then. Not mine - by DCLLVR, from the DCL pic thread.

I don't know why the photos are nice and big over on the picture thread but come oput smaller when i copy them to Photobucket!!:confused3

[pjpoohbear]

Marilyn, if you have for max file size on photobucket set to a smaller size then the file you upload it will store smaller then it was on the photo thread. Check your options (at the top of the upload box.)

Ah right, thanks. Just had a look. It is actually set on 'message board' - 640x480. What would be a good size then? Next size is 800x600 and up from there.

[granmaz]

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m86/maz48/IMG_0837.jpg

[granmaz]

Sounds like the Magic still has a little engine trouble according to a cruiser who arrived back today. They were late into CC and knew they would be 2 days earlier. Going a bit slower.

Edit to say another cruiser on the same cruise said the weather wasn't good so the slowed things down. Who knows really?

[pjpoohbear]

Ah right, thanks. Just had a look. It is actually set on 'message board' - 640x480. What would be a good size then? Next size is 800x600 and up from there.

On the picture thread they try to stick to 800x600, which explains the smaller size when you post it over here.

I have changed it to that now. Thanks.:worship:

[aphoenix]

So, here are my impressions:

The Dealership

It was an incredibly laid back experience, completely different than all of my other experiences buying cars.

Our salesman Josh was helpful. It was more like shopping in the Apple Store than a car dealer.

I suppose that given there is a 1 year wait for a car, they can afford to be laid back.

That laid back approach has been one of Roger's key focuses as we've launched. From our very first meeting two years ago, he has repeatedly said that he wanted this to be a completely different experience.

That's also why the cars won't be sold for over sticker price. Given the demand, they could easily add several thousand dollars onto the price. But, we got all of our dealers to agree to hold to the sticker price.

Cargo Space

This had been the chief area of concern and a real deal breaker. Just how much shopping could we fit in.

I had brought with me a reusable Jewel shopping bag to test out the Smart's cargo space.

I was quite surprised by it. It was much roomier than we had thought it would be. I figured (shopping bag in hand) that we could fit 8 bags of groceries in the cargo space (one row on top of the other).

In terms of gardening supplies, we figured we could fit 3 to 4 bags of mulch stacked. Meaning either having things delivered or making multiple trips.

But, for the shopping we do 99.9% of the time, the cargo space was fine.

The other trick for cargo space is that, if you are alone, put the passenger seat down flat. It creates a flat shelf and you can stack a lot more there.

Conflict

I reserved the Smart Passion. Sukie thinks I should get the Cabriolet, which is a convertible. The convertible is fully automatic.

Aside from the added money for the Cabriolet, I really question how much sense a convertible makes for Chicago, where we could only drive with the top down from June to about the end of September.

I also feel uneasy about how well the top will age, plus the potential for mechanical things to go wrong.

In addition, because of the top, you lose about half of the access to the cargo space.

The space remains the same, but now only the lower half of the back folds down. In the hard top the window flips up (like a hatch) and the bottom folds down, providing full access to the cargo space.

I would strongly recommend going with the Passion in Chicago. The cabrio will be louder, and more maintenance headaches. With the panoramic roof in the Passion (Don't know if they pointed it out at the dealership), you get the beautiful sky above you, and, then just roll the windows down for the fresh air.

More Conflict

I sent in my Smart reservation a few weeks ago. Josh told me that the wait is about 1 year.

The dealer does have a waiting list for "orphans," cars ordered where the buyer changed their mind.

The downside is that choice is limited. You take the color as it is and the configuration as it is.

If we get a Cabriolet (the convertible) the wait could be as short a a month or so, longer for a Passion.

So, not sure whether to do this or not.

It can't hurt to put yourself on the list. Also, do not count on the 1-year wait. To put it bluntly, the dealers have no clue how long someone will have to wait to get their car, as they don't know how long the reservation list is for their location.

KPros and SPros just picked theirs up today. Adrienne got to go up to Universal City today to be with then when they picked it up. (I am working at our store today, so couldn't join her).

Tony,

Thank you so much for the feedback. Just the sort of information I was looking for.

Also good to know that the dealers don't really know how long the wait is going to be. I don't mind waiting. I would sort of like to get exactly the car I want.

I did call the dealer and left a message to find out the scoop with their orphan program. I know I would have to put down a $100 deposit, but I want to know what will happen if I don't want the orphan they have available. Can I still just wait for my reservation and get my custom configuration.

I'm very partial to the yellow. Not sure if I want the beige or red interior.

[granmaz]

Should we be happy or scared that the lifeboat MAY have been their room??? :rotfl2:


Well there will be no rocking in MY lifeboat!!!:scared1:

[CBEB]

So who wishes they were here right now?

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m86/maz48/IMG_0824.jpg

Me! Me! Except, that family is wide awake. As soon as DH and I sit in those chairs we are down for the count (or at least until the pager goes off)!

[CBEB]

we've never been to the adult pool either!!

Neither have we. My DH is not a pool kinda guy. So I seem to be at the pool only when my DD11 wants to go. Oh well, that hasn't stopped me from visiting the bar and then taking it to the Goofy pool!
;)

[CBEB]

Dennis is just doing his suit this trip. Guess he will be underdressed! Please don't point and laugh. ;) :lmao:

My DH will only have a suit is well (maybe we can eat together in the "slob" section!). He rented tuxes on our first two cruises and loved it, but I haven't been able to persuade him to do so since then....

[nanatink]

I've been out cutting blackberry vines. UGH!! I would be a happy woman if I never heard the word blackberry again! :mad: They are a weed here in the northwest and take over everything.:headache: I have been cutting and raking around the pump house yesterday afternoon and this morning. DrHug needs to paint and replace the roof on the pump house, but he has to be able to get to it to do that. We spray them each fall and spring, but don't want to spray close to the well so those have to be cut out, raked into a pile and burned. They have horrible thorns. OUCH! I covered up with jeans, double long sleeves and thick gloves this time so I only have gotten stabbed a few times. :sad2:

I know what you are talking about. I hate cutting the grass on the riding lawnmower and you go by them and ouch, they hurt. My kids could not understand why in the blazing hot sun I would wear jeans and long sleeves.

We use to pick blackberries in the summer time. I would get ate up with the no see ums. My husband never had a problem. He saw how bad they attacked me and said he would pick them from now on. Now times have changed and a sub division has move there and those days are gone. They sure made good black berry cobblers.

[cquick]

all four of us ended up in the pool and hot tub last night. what fun!


Hey we did too! It was a beautiful night with a full moon and lots of stars! Then drippy rain all day today.

[gydell]

Did anyone read that the Magic has been having engine problems and is traveling slower than usual. Wonder what that means for us getting into our ports on time?

[iankh]

... getting into our ports on time?

Isn't that "Get me to the church on time?"




.

[nanatink]

Bill is doing a suit too!

DH is too, with a mickey tie.

[cquick]

Connie

I'm becoming more and more convinced that your Chuck and my Patrick were separated at birth. :rotfl:

I TOLD you we should link our dining! :rotfl2:

[HollyTyler]

Well there will be no rocking in MY lifeboat!!!:scared1:
And if the lifeboat IS ROCKING, we won't come knocking! :rotfl:

[granmaz]

And if the lifeboat IS ROCKING, we won't come knocking! :rotfl:

[cquick]

Has anyone requested a bedrail on the Magic?

[HollyTyler]

It seems they'd fix it before then since the ship has to get through many, many cruises before ours.

[HollyTyler]

Checking quickly here while Tyler gets spiffed up for the Easter vigil. Our church is very casual, you can even wear jeans, but he wouldn't think of it. He gets irritated with me when I don't dress up when we go. :lmao: Little Mr. necktie loves looking nice! ;) He's excited to go and his dad told me he napped for THREE HOURS today, so he should stay awake through the service. I was worried if we'd manage it because it's from 7-8pm. I think he's just looking forward to the cake afterwards! :rotfl2:

[gydell]

DH is too, with a mickey tie.

Great minds think alike. We have 3 mickey ties but will only need 2.

[nanatink]

Have a look at this pic then. Not mine - by DCLLVR, from the DCL pic thread.

Looks just like it is taken from a lifeboat!!!

When I saw this I closed my eyes and I could almost smell the sea air. Ahhhh. And feel the sea spary. How many more weeks?

DH just asked if I want to go to Dollywood next weekend. I have to think about it. It's about 2 1/2 hours from here. They are having Dance of Nation's there and he knows how much I love to see people dance.

[cquick]

We lay ours in the bottom of the suitcase and bring it home. They do not take up much room.

We bring our "gifts" from Royal Carribean.....toiletry cases that roll up and have a hanger on the top, We hang them on the towel rack next to the sink, because ther is absolutely NO counter space on the sink in the handicapped room.

[HollyTyler]

OH! I forgot to mention....when Tyler saw his bedroom, he yelled, "OH MY GOSH!" and was laughing and rolling around on the open floor! He said, "Mom, you did a great job, thank you so much!" :goodvibes It's not done, and I still have to sweep the floors, but it's a major improvement and there is plenty of play space in there now. :thumbsup2 OK, we're off! Back after he's in bed!

[gydell]

Has anyone requested a bedrail on the Magic?

We usually wait until we get on board.

[gydell]

It seems they'd fix it before then since the ship has to get through many, many cruises before ours.

Seems its been going on for a couple of weeks. If you think about it when would they fix it if it takes more than a couple of hours?

[cquick]

Ok...got to go and start the day. I made a cute flyer to put in the kids treasure chest (we are suprising them tomorrow with the cruise). I made a map that will be taped to our door so when we get back from my parents they will see it. I put an X on the map where the treasure chest is that is full of pirate stuff, 100 pins for trading, and their lanyards. This is what it says:

That is so cool! Your kids are gonna jump for joy! I definately think you need to make it a magnet for your door! :love: :love:

[cquick]

I like them larger too. It doesn't cost anything to make them big.:thumbsup2

You can always double click on thumbnail photo's to make them bigger! Connie

[cquick]

Bill is doing a suit too!

[nanatink]

Yes I know what you mean. My stuff kept falling "yuck" in the sink. When the new ships come out I hope they put some type of shelving in the walls so you can have a place to put your necessary items.

[cquick]

My DH will only have a suit is well (maybe we can eat together in the "slob" section!). He rented tuxes on our first two cruises and loved it, but I haven't been able to persuade him to do so since then....

OK, so are the suit wearers EARLY or LATE dining?

[nanatink]

OK, so are the suit wearers EARLY or LATE dining?

We are early.

[cquick]

We usually wait until we get on board.


NO, NO, I mean has anyone used a bedrail on the Magic. WE usually bring a travel one, but I am hoping not to pack one, just use theirs.

[nanatink]

Gydell, are you going to be able to go to the Lion King Show In Atlanta soon? We bought tickets when they first came out. We have a pretty good seating location.

[gydell]

NO, NO, I mean has anyone used a bedrail on the Magic. WE usually bring a travel one, but I am hoping not to pack one, just use theirs.

Yes we have used one both times we have cruised with Brent. They only go about half of the bed(maybe a little more) but it worked, except Brent kept almost falling off the end of the bed! I didn't get much sleep! We have already made one for the end of the bed for this cruise.

[gydell]

Gydell, are you going to be able to go to the Lion King Show In Atlanta soon? We bought tickets when they first came out. We have a pretty good seating location.

We saw it on Broadway. It was not one of my favorites! Are you coming in early? If so let us know and we'll try and get together.

Early

I didn't like Cats either so don't judge it on my opinion!

Just wondered...

I went to Target tonight....I got me some smarties....heheheheheh:lmao:

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh... :lmao:

When we were at Arrowhead yesterday the Disney store there had everything on sale at 50% off, I wonder if they are closing, or closing for remodeling. I didn't know there was a new one at Desert Ridge....have to go check it out.

,

Jackie I heard rumors that Disney was taking the stores back from the Childrens Place...

got me some little wine in a juice box too :lmao: :lmao:

:rotfl:

duh, we were on the phone together :dance3:

Do you want to tell them????

We(the gabby 3) are all going to be in Disneyland FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Steph and Taylor are coming with Marr and her kids and then we are gonna party!!!!

:sad2: :snooty: :sad2: :snooty: :sad2:

I'll just stay home and watch what's left of the snow melt... :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

[gydell]

I wasn't invited either!

[nanatink]

Right now our plans have not been finalized. There are two cars from here going down. We may go and visit our family in the middle Georgia area. My Dad's health is not very good and my husband's mother has final stage alzheimer's and we need to spend time with them. So kind of you for the invite.

Funny part is I was already going for spring break, then Nan planned to go for her Bday and then we twisted Stephs arm to get her going too. BUT........Nan's Bday dinner is after Steph and I leave :rotfl: So we will party but Steph and I are not getting fancy dinner :laughing:

perhaps we need to plan a breakfast for that morning too???

Hmmm...lilo, goofy's story tellers.

[luv2cruzsus]

Thanks...sounds like a good idea. Do you all bring them home and keep them, or leave them to have more room in the suitcase?

we bring it back, we've used the same one on all of the cruises we've been on.

[nskjerven]

Glad you all enjoyed the warm and sunny pics from Mexico, Thanks!:goodvibes

We went to Zihuatenejo, which is basically between Aca and PV. Zih is a small fishing village and not touristy at all. Around the corner is Ixtapa which is very touristy...high rises, Carlos & Charlie's type places etc. The resort we stayed at does not allow children, so not a great place for families...but if you are looking for something for families, I would do a search for rental homes. We looked at one down the road from us that had 3/4 bedrooms, 4 floors, pool, etc and was 800.00 per night for 8 people. There are several other places around there that are small and quaint like our Villas which might work as well. I understand that Carmen del Playa is a wonderful place as well, and our friends rented houses there a few years ago and had a wonderful time. Nan...if you want more info, PM or email me and I'll try and help out.

Thanks, we can talk on the ship. I will between now and then talk with our school friends to see if we can really get our dates on the calendar and make a plan. I've wanted to go for Thanksgiving, that sound fun. I also really want to go somewhere where someone has seen the place so we are assured it's good for families.

[CBEB]

OK, so are the suit wearers EARLY or LATE dining?

Early for us

[nskjerven]

And when is your birthday? :rotfl: :lmao:

March 30th are you busy that day? I'm sure that those people that just glance here once in a while just don't understand why this is so darn funny do they :rotfl2: :rotfl:

[nskjerven]

OK I had a crazy night and now I'm a lot of pages behind. I wanted to say that you can wear any color wig that is not of natural color. I got a pink one for champagne girls and green for the other day but if you already have one that is a different color you could wear that one.

BTW Gaylean is a west coast girl!

Sorry I meant to clear that up too, I think she might even be close to one of the gabby three while on the ship...are you sure you live in the southern part of the western state, you may just have to relocate up here with the rest of us crazies...:rotfl:

[nskjerven]

Since we have 2 rooms, would you all recommend 2 over the door shoe holders? We've never brought one before but it sounds like a great idea.

One dilemna we have right now is our 2 1/2 year old seems almost ready to move from his crib to a big boy bed. I'm hesitant to do it before the cruise as I'm afraid he will just keep getting up and coming into our cabin. Any advice? I think we'd have more space if we didn't have a crib in the boys room...we got very spoiled being in the Roy Suite on our last cruise. It was so great to have all that space. What we liked most about the suite was having full room service every morning and eating breakfast as a family on the big dining room table. We had them bring a high chair, and it worked great. Eggs, bacon, whatever we wanted. Sigh... I'm mourning my lost Cat. 1 again...

We've never had 2 cabins before though. On our DCL cruise before the last, we had cat. 4 (it was before our youngest was born). I've heard having two cabins is like having a suite without the concierge service.

Lisa, look at this as half full, instead of half empty. Remember you could have not come at all. With that change in perspective the 2 rooms will be great and like we've all talked about before the kids don't really get the difference between a cat 1 or a cat 9. As to the crib vs bed thing, do you think the little guy can turn to his older brother for comfort instead of you and DH? My sister and I are 11 years apart, when I was little I went to her first, then mom after that...Of course it might be different with brothers that sisters, but ya never know til you try it.

[luv2cruzsus]

are most guys going with just the black tux? I am debating on the black tux versus the two jacket set. I can see the white jacket getting little hand marks all over it on the way to dinner!

John is renting them from the Floating Formals people, or whatever they are called. He always does the black and white jacket package.

[nskjerven]

how was the test drive?

I have zero motivation today. The dreariness outside is not helping either.

I'm back from a long day of being out and busy with the scouts, so now I'm having that zero motivation mode...

We did the Easter Parade this morning and then went to the retirement home and dyed eggs with the residences. It was fun, but exhausting...

6 more weeks :scared1: I better get my game on. I have a few things to shop for.

[hawkaye19]

I'm one of the suit club early diners as well....

I want to be dressy enough to meet the minimum requirements, but my main goal is to dress comfortably so I can enjoy the food, the atmosphere and most of all be wearing something I know washes well (I always!!! drop something on my tie....I swear, every meal I have shared with Nancy, I spill something on my tie :confused3 ....she says it's one of my endearing faults...

[nskjerven]

I think I'm about to the limit of my motivation. I wish I'd thought to take a picture of Tyler's room at every 15 minute break I've been taking just to show him the progress. I think I do have a "before" pic because I remember taking a pic of Bobby looking at Tyler's room and I told Tyler he was afraid to go in there! :lmao: That's definitely one I never posted (I think) because I was embarrassed at the mess! Just unacceptable levels of clutter. Maybe tonight I'll post a before & after pic. It will be quite shocking.

Speaking of clutter, Marr did you kids recover from the diasters in my kids rooms???? For that matter, have you ????

Nothing could scare me. Molly's room is hard to walk in and Wilson has too much crap.

[nskjerven]

Red Jacket oversized and vest, big tie, highwaisted black/ or dark brown pants, white big collared button up shirt, big floppy tie. Then brown or white bunny tail and ears. Then you need the big card for those scenes that he is with the queen.

If you go without the pants, a pair of sweats paints (white or brown), tapered at the bottom, and stuffing for the upper leg. To keep the stuffing in place line the sweats with the stuffing in between the layers.

Good luck on this, I have been the wardrobe mistress on several plays, favorite project rip off jeans for the Greased Lighting scene in Grease.

High school, senior year. Velcro seams. Five good looking guys some hips amovin' and funny boxers.
They made everyone in the cast and crew sing for the final carnival scene, my one and only time on stage, thank gosh.

That play was crazy, prom dress, rip off jeans, poodle skirts, pink satin jackets, leather jackets, pedal pushers, and baby doll pjs for the sleep-over scene. I did so much shopping and sewing for that play. I was also the yearbook editor, don't know what I was thinking.

[nskjerven]

:sad2: :snooty: :sad2: :snooty: :sad2:

I'll just stay home and watch what's left of the snow melt... :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

I wasn't invited either!

Now that's not true and you know it!!! You can all come and join us at Disneyland. Remember I even made dinner reservations with room for 2 extra in case anyone wanted to join. Just jump on a flight and come party with us :dance3: MARCH 30th in case you forgot :lmao: :lmao:

ok, High School makes sense, at junior high they aren't ready for something so risque...Great memories huh? I was in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown my freshman year, I was Snoopy...:goodvibes

[Making_Memories]

So are you all REALLY doing this? What night? Is it on the calendar yet? If the night works, I'm game!
Lisa

Well we had not set a night YET but a few people had said they would like to do it on the Shots around the Ship night. So that may end up being the date. Tipsy with a wig on, it might really to being my Britney moment (lets hope not) :laughing: However to your other question the answer is yes I am really wearing a wig and already know a few of us have ordered wigs special for this. I have bought a few so I would have options however I have a pink one for Champagne girls night and a green one in Dis green and another one I bought because I thought it was cute :thumbsup2

[cquick]

Yes we have used one both times we have cruised with Brent. They only go about half of the bed(maybe a little more) but it worked, except Brent kept almost falling off the end of the bed! I didn't get much sleep! We have already made one for the end of the bed for this cruise.

That will work, the one we use here at home only covers the top portion of the bed. Patrick is too tall to roll off the end of the bed!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Making_Memories]

No green dresses here...I draw the line at a wig! I am going to suprise dd with our disneyland trip. Marr will pick us up at my work and then we're off! My daughter will be so excited. It'll be a quick trip, but she'll have fun. Thanks to marr and nan for the arm twisting and cost cutting. Still no disney after the cruise...no matter how much twisting then...have to draw the line somewhere!
It's another beautiful day here in california. We have my dd's piano recital today and my brother is on his way down from sac to help me finish...oh who am i kidding...to finish the retaining wall. Then I will drag him to see his nieces recital. She's with her dad this weekend so hopefully they show up on time!

Have a good weekend..back to catch up with ellen.

I'll have to tell Darrell - he does this at work and thought he was the only one!

I think I will really like Darrell!! He collects codes too?? We are at 6,100 since Thankgsgiving!!

I went to Target tonight....I got me some smarties....heheheheheh:lmao:


OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I am so jealous!!

Lisa we were gone 12 days....I was ready to come home on day 2 (mostly due to the drama). The girls actually did great. We did talk to them every other day and IM'd with them periodically....but they were having so much fun with my mom, we missed them more than they missed us!

I know for a fact I will miss them way more than they will miss me!!

Wow 12 days is a long vacation.....oh yea....we are going on a 15 day vacation!!:goodvibes :goodvibes

You will have to tell us the drama story sometime....maybe you already did and I have not gotten to it yet
Lisa

[HollyTyler]

Seems its been going on for a couple of weeks. If you think about it when would they fix it if it takes more than a couple of hours?
Maybe on a port day. :confused3 Or maybe a ship can run without all engines going like an airplane can, and they can shut one off and fix that, and the ship would probably be slower while they do that. :confused3

[sandiedvc]

Just ordered some from Sierra Trading Company...

They are some colors on clearance there:

15" folder (small size) is $12.55 (colors: navy, berry)
18" folder (med size) is 14.35 (color: berry)

Don't forget that there are some discount codes available out there for Sierra Trading company. They can be up to 20% off the price above.

On the same note, if you have ordered certain Eagle Creek travel accessories and pack-it items after March 1, you may be eligible for a discount.

Here is the information:
http://www.eaglecreek.com/promotion/travel_outfitting.php

Here is the form:
http://www.eaglecreek.com/promotion/013108/2008RebateForm-8.5x11.pdf


Make sure that you read all the fine print. All the Eagle Creek items for the rebate have to be on the same reciept. I hope this rebate works, sounds too good to be true... to get that good of a price on the folders and then get a rebate on top of it?

Just so long as it is going when I get on the ship. I can always float around for a few extra days if the engine doesn't work!

[disneylover5]

right now we are debating on whether or not to renew our Gator tickets....we don't have the money number one, but if we let them go, we will probably never get them again......we've been season tickets holders for so long I just hate to see them go.


Wow that is such a hard decision.....I know how much you LOVE your Gators!! One of Daniel's best friends was accepted a few days ago and she will be heading south soon!!

Maybe you can buy them and plan to sell half of them on ebay to pay for the all of them???

[Jhalkias]

It might be John1 as he has been known to go off snow blowing in areas other than outside his house!!!;)

I'm trying to catch up, but I could not pass this one up . . . boy, that would have been a loooooong sidewalk from my house to there. We just got a dusting of snow. Had to work again this morning - took Amy to the airport at 1:30. Now just wait to hear from her when she arrives in Manilla.

Great pictures Kaylee - looked like a lot of fun.

I'm just relieved for a day off tomorrow - we are invited over to Amy's cousin's house for an Easter Dinner.

[HollyTyler]

A dream come true for sure! Lets hope for that! :goodvibes

[Jhalkias]

That definitely made me laugh out loud! That's the real reason why we don't hear from him much lately, he just keeps snowblowing and snowblowing and snowblowing! ;)

He might hit Chicago soon!!!:lmao:

I would actually prefer that I think. Wonder if there is a Guiness record? Would have to have a "chase car" to refuel too . . .

[sandiedvc]

In the continuing saga of "if Kathy bought it last week, it must be on sale cheaper this week", we bring you the chapter regarding the titled article.

It is on sale this week at Sierra Trading Post for $59.95. If you are lucky enough to find a 20% off coupon, it brings the price down to $47.96. Colors available: green, gray, or orange.

I am returning the one I bought for $71 to Best Buy on Monday. I am sure that they are getting tired of me returning and price matching!

[HollyTyler]

You know, I love having a fresh new stock of groceries in my kitchen, but at the same time, that's a rough day or two for me because I can't stop eating because I want a little bit of all the new stuff I just bought. :sad2:

[MrsMork]

Me! Me! Except, that family is wide awake. As soon as DH and I sit in those chairs we are down for the count (or at least until the pager goes off)!

Me too! I find it impossible to stay awake on those loungers.

[HollyTyler]

I sure hope Mexican night has something fun happening on deck after dinner. Tyler's all hyped up about that night. Somebody at church asked him what he's going to do on the cruise and all he wanted to talk about was Mexican night. I tried to bring back his former enthusiasm for pirate night but all he said was, "Oh....yeah, there's a pirate night too" and went right back to raving about Mexican night! :rolleyes: What a nutso kid.

I went to Costco tonight and spent $300.....I know just what you mean!

Tonight for dinner (I had to show Vanessa's sister I do cook sometimes) I made a V meal.

Rosemary Honey Mustard Chicken with Cous Cous with peas and carrots. Fresh Fruit Bowl. So yummy!!!

I feel the same way about my Browns tickets. They raised the prices too. Can you split them with anyone?

I've been out cutting blackberry vines. UGH!! I would be a happy woman if I never heard the word blackberry again! :mad: They are a weed here in the northwest and take over everything.:headache: I have been cutting and raking around the pump house yesterday afternoon and this morning. DrHug needs to paint and replace the roof on the pump house, but he has to be able to get to it to do that. We spray them each fall and spring, but don't want to spray close to the well so those have to be cut out, raked into a pile and burned. They have horrible thorns. OUCH! I covered up with jeans, double long sleeves and thick gloves this time so I only have gotten stabbed a few times. :sad2:

VINES???

I knew I should have gotten the iPhone!

[MrsMork]

Has anyone requested a bedrail on the Magic?

We don't plan to drink that much! :rotfl: :lmao:

We bring our "gifts" from Royal Carribean.....toiletry cases that roll up and have a hanger on the top, We hang them on the towel rack next to the sink, because ther is absolutely NO counter space on the sink in the handicapped room.

We have roll up toiletry cases also. We used the over the door hanger for sunglasses, excursion tickets, lanyards, and other miscellaneous clutter.

[HollyTyler]

Yep, Mickey ties for DrHug also.:thumbsup2
I need to look for one for Tyler if they make them for kids. He loves his ties so much, he'd surely FLIP over a Mickey one!

[HollyTyler]

I guess I should go to bed early tonight. Tyler heard the announcement at church tonight about the Easter breakfast before service. That kid can't walk away from pancakes! So he begged me to go! I told him I'd have to talk to his dad because we didn't set up a time for him to pick him up for Easter tomorrow, he just told me he'll call us when he wakes up. He usually wakes up at 7 or 8, so I had Tyler call him and leave him a message asking if he can go to church with me first and then have me drop him off at his dad's afterwards. Yup, bad mom, I made Tyler do the asking! ;)

[HollyTyler]

But then again, I shouldn't go to bed yet because I just put another load of laundry in the washer, so I need to wait at least until I can put it in the dryer. Plus I want to wait until I find out my mom made it back driving home from North Carolina. Apparently she visited a friend there and was to be back home late tonight.

The only one I have is for 20% off if you spend $75. It is from a catalog they sent me. Key code: WRD37157. I assume that it will work for others.

I know that they have 10% off for new customers without putting in a code. I don't think that you can stack that with the 20%, but it would be a way of getting some off without spending all that.

I bought some of the Eagle Creek folders as they were only $10.04 for the small and $11.48 for the medium size with the discount. So I didn't have any trouble spending $75.

Bargains are my downfall!

I am watching Blades of Glory......we went to Crab Trap, bad service, bad food, not what it used to be. On the way home we stopped by the Outlawz. Fun times!

[Tink rules]

OH MY GOSH, there's a mystery snowblowing guy going down the sidewalk on our whole block! I've never seen him before, so he must live further down the street. I feel like I should run out there and hug him or something, but don't want to scare him off from ever doing this again! :lmao: What should I do? Run out there and throw dollars at him? Toss him a bottle of water? ;)

Find him and give him a gift card or some wine!!!

all four of us ended up in the pool and hot tub last night. what fun!
the girls just got up and are eating waffles while I dine on something more esquisite - spagettios!
looks like a rainy dreary say today! we are meeting my dad at the crab trap for dinner.

kaylee - those pics are awesome! was that a resort? it looks gorgeous.

holly - so a charcateristic if a murderer is excessive list making? I am in trouble!

I Love spaghettios too!!! Mom always knows when I'm in a "mood"... I eat my spaghettios...

And when is your birthday? :rotfl: :lmao:

Angie...

It's NEXT SUNDAY!!!!!

[HollyTyler]

Well, I forgot to buy carrots to leave for that darned rabbit, so I managed to convince Tyler it's OK because the Easter bunny would like cheese just as well! ;)

[lillygator]

this is hilarious!

[lillygator]

I did see a taping of Coach when I was in CA.....Coach is in this movie!
I hope Amy made it safely!

HEY! I bet I'll hit 10,000 posts before this cruise! :laughing:

Oh... I'm bettin sometime next week!!! :lmao:

All right everybody, I'm outta here. The Easter bunny has to hide the eggs around the house and bring an Easter basket of goodies. I'll be checking back with you all after church, while on one of my many cleaning breaks! ;)

[Tink rules]

Did anyone read that the Magic has been having engine problems and is traveling slower than usual. Wonder what that means for us getting into our ports on time?

They said on the Podcast that they haven't heard anything substantial about the Magic and that no... the Wonder wasn't as of now being subbed for the Magic on our cruise... Stay tuned...

Well there will be no rocking in MY lifeboat!!!:scared1:

Sit Down, Sit Down, Sit Down, Sit Down, Sit Down You're Rockin the Boat!!! (ok... that's my ode to Guys and Dolls....)


March 30th are you busy that day? I'm sure that those people that just glance here once in a while just don't understand why this is so darn funny do they :rotfl2: :rotfl:

Nope... we're not giving them all the secrets...


SUNDAY THE 30TH EVERYONE!!! NAN'S BIRTHDAY....Now that's not true and you know it!!! You can all come and join us at Disneyland. Remember I even made dinner reservations with room for 2 extra in case anyone wanted to join. Just jump on a flight and come party with us :dance3: MARCH 30th in case you forgot :lmao: :lmao:

& I JUST GOT CALLED UP FOR JURY DUTY!!! :scared1:

Just so long as it is going when I get on the ship. I can always float around for a few extra days if the engine doesn't work!

Can you imagine us and the US Coast Guard???

Hey...maybe extra days for Palo!!!

This could work out...

I thought the horse was glue by now.

Just about... give it time... they covered it very well... talked to lots of people... found out what happened... I think a few people blew it WAY out of perspective... of course there are some who will try to get something out of whatever they can...

Oh, we just throw that stuff all over the rroom!

We tried just throwing it all over, but could not find our excursion tickets and had to get orgainzed somehow! :)

Anyone see these yet????

Not sure if it's DL or WDW but you can make your own MICKEY EARS!!!!

They even have DIS green ear parts!!!

We use to pick blackberries in the summer time. I would get ate up with the no see ums. My husband never had a problem. He saw how bad they attacked me and said he would pick them from now on. Now times have changed and a sub division has move there and those days are gone. They sure made good black berry cobblers.

Oh, we had wild blackberries growing along the fence right across the street from our house. The kids in the neighborhood would pick them, then see which mom was willing to make us a pie. It was a KIDS only pie, since we did all the 'work'. (like making the pie itself wasn't work, you know.):lmao:

[Tink rules]

All right everybody, I'm outta here. The Easter bunny has to hide the eggs around the house and bring an Easter basket of goodies. I'll be checking back with you all after church, while on one of my many cleaning breaks! ;)

HAPPY EASTER HOLLY & TYLER!!!

. . . I think a few people blew it WAY out of perspective... of course there are some who will try to get something out of whatever they can...
It's very sad how some people react.

[calmom]

Lisa - be sure and take lots of photos of the boys when the find out!
Sure will!
are most guys going with just the black tux? I am debating on the black tux versus the two jacket set. I can see the white jacket getting little hand marks all over it on the way to dinner!DH is doing tux (along with the boys0

Love the letter but shouldn't it be from the Easter Bunny?
Yes, we thought about it but our 10yr old still believes and I think he wouldn't believe the bunny could actually book a cruise. Too complicated...and then it could be like "well we can get as many arcade cards as possible because the Easter bunny is paying!" So basically, first reason was I wanted to encourage my 10 year old to believe for just a little longer...second reason is we didn't want to set an expectation that the Easter bunny would give such big gifts. This is a once in a lifetime thing - and I wanted to the kids to know we were giving it to them. It will help explain why we aren't signing up for as many summer camps, etc.

Too funny!

What, a bunny can't book a cruise!?!

Lisa, I think you did just fine.

Woody

[calmom]

That is so cool! Your kids are gonna jump for joy! I definately think you need to make it a magnet for your door! :love: :love: Thanks! I will - and any DIS walking by will know it is our room!

Lisa, look at this as half full, instead of half empty. Remember you could have not come at all. With that change in perspective the 2 rooms will be great and like we've all talked about before the kids don't really get the difference between a cat 1 or a cat 9. As to the crib vs bed thing, do you think the little guy can turn to his older brother for comfort instead of you and DH? My sister and I are 11 years apart, when I was little I went to her first, then mom after that...Of course it might be different with brothers that sisters, but ya never know til you try it. So true...DH said that had we booked the suite, we wouldn't be going. We wouldn't have made the final payment and would have had to move it to another date (non-refundable deposit). It would have been too much. So I know it all works at for the best. Not sure if the little one would go into the other one's bed. That hasn't always worked out for us. In Tahoe this past Feb, our 7 year old got scared and went into the 5 year old's bed and we wake up to the 5 year old yelling "GET OUT OF MY BED! GET OUT OF MY BED!" Where is the love? :confused3 :rotfl:

I think we will just hold off and keep him in the crib. He has made no effort to get out at all, and no reason to rush it if we don't have to.

Well we had not set a night YET but a few people had said they would like to do it on the Shots around the Ship night. So that may end up being the date. Tipsy with a wig on, it might really to being my Britney moment (lets hope not) :laughing: However to your other question the answer is yes I am really wearing a wig and already know a few of us have ordered wigs special for this. I have bought a few so I would have options however I have a pink one for Champagne girls night and a green one in Dis green and another one I bought because I thought it was cute :thumbsup2 Ok - I got it. I'll start to look for one and let you know if I do it!

What, a bunny can't book a cruise!?!

Lisa, I think you did just fine.

Woody I think that would be a great tag for the tag fairy!
Thanks, I'm quite excited. Also very excited to start getting organized openly.

I'm very far behind but in skipping around I see that it's now available for $25+ less than I paid...oh well. I'm so happy with it it doesn't really matter. Angie, thanks so much for turning me on to it!

It's nice to be home for awhile. I missed my bed!

Happy Easter everyone!:flower3:

[NotSoLittleMermaid]

I think we just said NOON at Lumieres **OR** do you guys think Parrot Cay would be better...that way we could table hop without confusing servers?

Whichever we decide, I will take care of alerting the head server for whatever team has that restaurant that day, so they can 'reserve' a section of the restaurant for us. Whichever....wear your lime green stuff!

Thank you Deb!!!

I'm trying to catch up, but I could not pass this one up . . . boy, that would have been a loooooong sidewalk from my house to there. We just got a dusting of snow. Had to work again this morning - took Amy to the airport at 1:30. Now just wait to hear from her when she arrives in Manilla.

Great pictures Kaylee - looked like a lot of fun.

I'm just relieved for a day off tomorrow - we are invited over to Amy's cousin's house for an Easter Dinner.

Hope Amy's journey went well and she arrived safe and sound.

We woke to snow again this morning, a bit more than yesterday, but still, it hasn't looked like this outside our house for years.:cool1:

I went to Costco tonight and spent $300.....I know just what you mean!

Tonight for dinner (I had to show Vanessa's sister I do cook sometimes) I made a V meal.

Rosemary Honey Mustard Chicken with Cous Cous with peas and carrots. Fresh Fruit Bowl. So yummy!!!

Oh yummy!!!:worship:


VINES???

I knew I should have gotten the iPhone!

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

We don't plan to drink that much! :rotfl: :lmao:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

We have roll up toiletry cases also. We used the over the door hanger for sunglasses, excursion tickets, lanyards, and other miscellaneous clutter.

We managed to put all the bits'nbobs in the steamer trunk last time, so I hope we have one this time.

I am watching Blades of Glory......we went to Crab Trap, bad service, bad food, not what it used to be. On the way home we stopped by the Outlawz. Fun times!

We went to Texas Roadhouse. Chuck and I ordered Chili, it came lukewarm, it wouldn't even melt the cheese they put on top, I sent mine back. Then, after we were all done eating, we waited and waited for our server to come back. Finally we started walking out of the restaurant, and he hopped up from a booth he was sitting in with 3 other servers. He said he was on BREAK!!!!! ON BREAK, when he had tables to serve! HONESTLY!

Chuck didn't want to say anything, but I asked for the manager, but she was busy counting money in the back.....so I told him to tell her we weren't happy and wouldn't be coming back there.

No wonder the Ale House's parking lot is ALWAYS full!

In the continuing saga of "if Kathy bought it last week, it must be on sale cheaper this week", we bring you the chapter regarding the titled article.

It is on sale this week at Sierra Trading Post for $59.95. If you are lucky enough to find a 20% off coupon, it brings the price down to $47.96. Colors available: green, gray, or orange.

I am returning the one I bought for $71 to Best Buy on Monday. I am sure that they are getting tired of me returning and price matching!

I ordered it from Amazon yesterday for DD. It was 59.95 with free shipping.:sad2:

I bet the girls feel like it is Easter :) I miss the days of the Easter egg hunts, this is the first year there were no eggs hidden by the Easter bunny, as long as there was a "kid" in my house the Easter bunny came, didn't matter how big that kid was :lmao: They always rolled their eyes, but gradually the eggs would disappear;) Our eggs were never hidden in the yard though, between weather and wildlife, not a good idea, but sure sounds like fun. It doesn't seem like Easter here either, still too many snow banks around!

Besides cruisewear, I also need to buy a new piece of luggage...actually a large new piece of luggage. When my son flew out west in Nov I loaned him my large suitcase, they had planned on coming home for a visit before the cruise, but unfortunately that won't be happening. So, I need to replace it. I don't want to spend a fortune, but don't want it to fall apart after one or two trips either. Anyone have any brands they would recommend. My set is Swiss Army and I have had some issues with it, won't buy that brand again. Thanks!

HAPPY EASTER BIRTHDAYS:flower3: to everyone!

Has everyone already seen this?

EASTER

Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.

Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare.

Here's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here's the facts:

1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).

2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

When my son flew out west in Nov I loaned him my large suitcase, they had planned on coming home for a visit before the cruise, but unfortunately that won't be happening. So, I need to replace it. I don't want to spend a fortune, but don't want it to fall apart after one or two trips either. Anyone have any brands they would recommend. My set is Swiss Army and I have had some issues with it, won't buy that brand again. Thanks!

My DH has been using Berghaus luggage for years. It appears to be indestructible.

I'm a recent convert to Eagle Creek. It's extremely light and comes with a lifetime guarantee, so I'm expecting it to wear well.

I am not having any luck with Dillard's....Sears is open and says the mall is open but The Disney Store, nor Dillard's is answering. Bummer.

maybe for our next trip we'll try out some eagle creek stuff but I want to save spending money right now.

I think the smart should be named something like Mr. Finklestein.
:rotfl: Too true! I think if I get one, I'll name mine Egbert. :lmao:

I'm 29 today as well. :lmao: We are off to brunch with family. It seems odd to be sharing a holiday with a birthday.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORK

Enjoy Your Special Day

Hope All Your Dreams And Wishes Come True

Happy Easter everyone!

Well, we had a fun night last night at the drive in - saw Horton and Alvin and both were very cute. DH and I really like Alvin and the chipmunks. The family who created them have been our students for many years.... can you say wealthy? But it was so much fun to hear the music and one of my old comics was in the film too.

The Easter bunny came to our house this morning and delivered a basket full of goodies - princess 8 ball, Cinderella robe, some fancy chocolates and other little goodies. But mom and dad hid eggs filled with clues for a mystery egg hunt all over the house that led to the mom and dad Easter basket filled with Pez and a big Daisy Duck hat and other goodies. It was lots of fun. I'm off the DL to hunt down Linda and Jamie now.

Have a fun day today and...
a very Happy Birthday Marilyn and Cork!

Happy Easter everyone.

DH and I were chatting earlier about how we celebrate Easter differently in the UK and the US (in the non-religious sense).

We don't have a tradition of the Easter Bunny as a giver of gifts (well, not that I'm aware of). We do have bunnies as a symbol of Easter, but the natural, small, furry type, along with chicks. We don't do Easter baskets but instead have Easter eggs - an egg-shaped chocolate shell, often with candy inside or in the same box. When we were in the US last month I saw lots of Easter candy, but nothing that looked like our Easter eggs.
