Nice to see the Wench is right on Cue :laughing:

[TheTXTaylors5]

:confused3 I must apologize in advance to my DH. I didn't realize it was getting so close to pirate: time. I heard him in the other room groaning about the 40 second rule. I had just posted a minute ago. However, he got pirate: anyway.

"Congratulations Honey!" :love:

- Jennifer

[MrsMork]

It was great to be able to see this twice last year .... wasn't it Angie?

It was! Double Dips are great, but I really am looking forward to that extra sea day this trip.:goodvibes

[TheTXTaylors5]

Congratulations!

Is it Bill or Jennifer? pirate:

Thank you Brack! It was me. I guess I forgot to add my name even though I had plenty of time with the 40 second police yelling at me. :rolleyes1 It has been a while and I figured I had better start carrying my weight. Even though after our last WDW trip, that is a lot more to carry. popcorn::

My post Lagged and then jumped 5 spots, flew right on by the pirate:

What's with the Banana ?? :banana: Is he like a Traveling Gnome ?

Bobby was the "mascot" for our December cruise last year. :banana: Since then he has traveled with some of us but mostly he has lived with me. I need to send him to visit some of the others. Maybe Dennis and Angie will take him home after this cruise. :thumbsup2

As for how it started ..... that is the stuff for legends! :lmao:

[TheTXTaylors5]

We're not laughing at you Rob, we're laughing WITH you. You know we've been princess: many, many, many times too. I'm sure we'll be back princess: again before this cruise comes! Many more pirate: and princess: to be had!

[AmberDaClown]

Got to watch a new "Heroes" tonight. Then I was in the store and saw a TV Guide that said Jorja Fox "Back on CSI". I couldn't find the article though. I just read she is leaving this month for good.

For the first time had to go get DD at Pre-K. Poor thing had a tummy ache and an um "accident". Around nap time, she was still complaining of a hurt tummy so I went and got her. And to think I was supposed to be out doing errands today. Good thing I stayed home. I think she has like a reverse homesickness and really misses her daddy who left yesterday.

We still have not carved pumpkins either.

I really am looking forward to that extra sea day this trip.:goodvibes

:thumbsup2 We are looking forward to the sea days too. We didn't have much "down time" on our last cruise. It was the 4-Day Wonder cruise. Having days onboard to explore and maybe sleep in one day, will be sooooooo nice. :cloud9:

On THAT note... Off to cook dinner too...

Ugh and the cat was in the garbage, he has a wad of rolled paper.. :sad2:

[Cruise]

There's always grandchildren and other people's children :woohoo:

You can teach them all kinds of bad behavior and then give them back :thumbsup2 :lmao:

Good idea!! Hey, Jennifer..... :rolleyes1

[JoiseyMom]

Was he born and Raised in Jerzey too? Maybe it is something in the water.. :laughing:

DH has a pirate shirt from the NYC Disney Store.. he will wear it home and out but he won't wear it for Pirate night :confused3 Go Figure..


Nope, born in Brooklyn, spend 3 months there, then on to SI, then on to Josiey when he was 5. 99.9 % of DH's shirts are Disney, even the polo ones. Can you guess who does the shopping here :yay: . He does own may Grumpy shirts though.

[Cruise]

:lmao:

I saw the new machine on a TV Special I was like, :scared1: Just how many people will see the outline of my Granny Panties :scared: Maybe I will have to buy 2 new fancy pretty undies just for Airport Security..


Or go commando :thumbsup2

[helloemi]

I just ordered luggage for our cruise, its a great deal for 3 suitcases.
Also got a swim suit for the df for only 9 dollars!

:earsgirl: here is the link for the suitcases in case anyone else needs some mickey luggage:

[Cruise]

Hey, we need to get our DH's together. They sound alot alike!! I wouldn't even begin to ask him to wear a green or matching shirt. He is wearing a pirate shirt I got from the Disney Store though, and it is the same as mine, hmmm...so I guess I can get him to wear matching shirts! :rotfl:

I have no idea if he will come with me or not to the DIs meets, I will know when I get there.

What's gonna be funny is that all the party pooper DHs are gonna end up in the same bar having a beer while we're at the Dis meets and become great friends. :lmao:

[Cruise]

Julie? Where's Julie? :lmao: (Just kidding!)

- Jennifer

:eek:

I was thinking though... if I bring you a game controller and you tell your youngest to carry it around and tell my DH that it's his favorite thing ever and he never puts it down.... I bet then DH would wanna have one!:thumbsup2

:lmao: :rotfl2:

[JoiseyMom]

We are trying to plan a date night at WDW :love: and are torn on which restaurant to go to. If you had to pick only one restaurant in the Epcot World Showcase to go to, which one would it be? We are looking for a romantic setting (well as much as possible with the 2 year old in tow). We have a couple in mind but were curious what others thought based on their past experiences. Thanks.

Here are my top picks,

-Chefs de France/ Bistro de Paris (they have adorable Ratatouille menus for your daughter)
-Le Cellier
-Tepon Edo (The new/recently refurbished hibachi restaurant in Japan)

Are you staying for a vacation or just for the evening? If you are on a vacation, consider doing the premium myw package. You get a private Illuminations viewing included :love: (ok i just noticed you are from texas, so chances are you're on vacation!)

DH and I have had 2 date nites at WDW, 5 years ago we went to the Yachtman's Steakhouse, with DS7 monthns in tow. DD5 was in the Neverland Club. This past summer we left them both at Simba's Clubhouse and went to Ragland Road in Downtown Disney. Ragland Road rocked!!

[coastgirl]

Ok, I was busy today, and wow...! Mega-catch-up...

I've added a new gallery on my website, with our trip to the pumpkin patch a few weeks back. Our oldest was over a friends house, but you can see our three sons, Zach, Ben, and Ryan.

http://the-fays.net/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=5

Really good looking family there! :lovestruc:

Adventurous morning, Angie!

:lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl: Except this young man would have had to use at least two hands and might have had to get his shoulder into it to hoist me up! :lmao:

:lmao: You and me both, my dear...

have to show all of you my niece, I bought her the costume before she was even born....... can you tell I have problems.....http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q31/mom2twinz_photos/c540b5e6.jpg

Verrry cute. :cutie:

ok off for some :laundy: and dusting and vacuuming and whatever else I can get done in 2 hours so DH will think I did something Besdies Dis all day :rolleyes1


:confused3 I didn't post that?? Ok, not today, anyway...;)

This will be my first cruise and first trip outside the U.S. other than a drive-by of Canada.

we're from Tennessee, traveling w/ mother in law. husband (39), son (10) and daughter (5); sister-in-law (30-something) and brother in-law (30 something); another sister in-law (30-something) and her son (13).

We can't wait.

Welcome! Our first cruise too, also a 4.9 yo dd...and as a Canadian curious about your "drive by"! Oh, and we're considering Tennessee next summer, will have to pick your brain--travelling in August and people keep telling me Tx will be too hot, so mountains seem like a good idea...

:welcome:

:lmao:
Speaking of... DH travels more then I so he got "Clear" and goes through the other extra short line for Security.. Well he generally takes the bag so I can just walk through and catch up to him a little faster.. Well coming home he had his bag opened and searched.. What was inside?.. :scared1: A Red Velvet Cape with hood I got on sale while in FL to bring home for Halloween, Barretts, BC Pills, 4- 9 volt batteries, a pack of Pantyhose, also bought on sale in FL, a Star Magazine & Pen, oh and a bag of Candy we got from the MNSSHP.. :rotfl2: I wish I was there to see the woman's face when she searched "his" bag..

:lmao: :rotfl2:


For the first time had to go get DD at Pre-K. Poor thing had a tummy ache and an um "accident". Around nap time, she was still complaining of a hurt tummy so I went and got her. And to think I was supposed to be out doing errands today. Good thing I stayed home. I think she has like a reverse homesickness and really misses her daddy who left yesterday.


Ah, sorry. I hate getting a call from school--it's never good news. Hope she feels better quickly.

Really great looking, Emi! I picked out a few bargains today too, including some swim shoes for the kids, wrong season to find them here. Usually we don't order from Disney Shopping b/c the shipping to Canada is outrageous, but dh is in NC on business so I'm having it shipped to his hotel. Gotta love a bargain! :thumbsup2

We did an evening of stopping at several places for little interesting bits. The most romantic spot was the terrace outside the counter-service place in Japan, it was late, dark, we got a table off by ourselves near one of the trickling fountains...it was lovely. We had a sitter that night, but nothing put my kids to sleep like a "push" around in the stroller in the evening; good luck!

We used Simba's last time too, the kids loved it...part of the reason I wanted to try the cruise, I don't feel guilty leaving the kids if I know they're having fun!

Anyway, caught up now! :cool1:

[pfishgirl]

Went to the DCL Site and still No High Tea.. I guess it's a lost cause.. Maybe we will luck on once on the ship..

Oh and I read this while I was there...

Tropical Weather Update

As of 1 p.m. Monday, October 29, 2007:

Guests sailing November 1st who have questions regarding their voyage and the effects of Tropical Storm Noel should be aware that the safety of our guests and crew is always our first priority at Disney Cruise Line® and we continually monitor a storm's progress through the National Weather Service.

Based upon the current projections of the storm's path, we do not anticipate a need to alter our departure from Port Canaveral, FL.

Should weather conditions change, our Captain can alter the ship's course or itinerary for the safety and well being of our guests.

[pfishgirl]

I made some Peppermint Tea :surfweb: So I can NOT chase the pirate:

[pfishgirl]

Don't you just Love it when New Casters make mistakes and try to recover themselves :rotfl2: I guess he didn't want to take a retake.. :confused3

He said we get an extra Hour of Trick or Treats since we changed the Daylight Savings time an Hour :hourglass

I guess he didn't get the Memo that it is NEXT week :confused3

[pfishgirl]

25 More to go..
Oh wait.. wouldn't this make it 24 more

:surfweb:

I will not chase the pirate: I will not chase the pirate: :tiptoe:

:rolleyes1

[pfishgirl]

Come On People !!! :sad2:

Come Out.. Come Out.. Where ever you are..

:confused3

[pfishgirl]

That's It !!!

I'm Leaving !!!!! :mad:

[mommyoftwinfants]

Still here was just trying to catch up on the thread and my emails and DCL website still GTY, no brunch, dinner or tea ressies, at least we will be there early to try and get a ressie onboard.

[pfishgirl]

ok.. I WOULD leave.. but there are No windows and No doors here.. :confused3 And it is Cold out there :cold: Brrrrr....

[mommyoftwinfants]

That's It !!!

We're still using the AC here. I went out today and you can really tell the air has cleared a lot. Was another beautiful, clear day in LA. I actually kinda miss having seasons though. :sad1:

[pfishgirl]

Still here was just trying to catch up on the thread and my emails and DCL website still GTY, no brunch, dinner or tea ressies, at least we will be there early to try and get a ressie onboard.

Now that ALL our furniture is at the house.. I'm hoping we can get to the Cruise terminal.. ALOT earlier this time.. :sad2: Getting there and watching the Lifejacket Drill from the windows in the Terminal wasn't cutting it waaaayyy to close for my Nerves :scared1:

[mommyoftwinfants]

ohhh NOOOOOO my odds just went from 50/50 to 100% now I am at 33.3333% :coffee:

[Cruise]

I musta missed that part. All your furniture came in? That's good. Would seem like one of those things that would be painful to stretch out over a long period of time.

[Cruise]

ohhh NOOOOOO my odds just went from 50/50 to 100% now I am at 33.3333% :coffee:

LOL. Sorry. I'll just sit back and popcorn:: you two duke it out for the pirate:

today was wear red day at school today and only 15% of the kids were wearing red and about 20% of the teachers.. :confused3:

[pfishgirl]

We're still using the AC here. I went out today and you can really tell the air has cleared a lot. Was another beautiful, clear day in LA. I actually kinda miss having seasons though. :sad1:

We have the HEAT on !! It's too Cold for me :sad2: I MUST be getting old

We had wear Red day to show your support for the troops.. I think 2 weeks ago.. DH & DS wore Red shirts and they didn't even know they were suppose to :rotfl:

[pfishgirl]

*sniff * *sniff* I smell a Sniper lurking around !!!

:tiptoe:

Maybe I should just Go for the Wench princess: instead of the Pirate pirate: cause I'd have a better chance at getting it..

Being a Wench does come in handy sometimes :snooty:

[mommyoftwinfants]

tomorrow is silly socks day and the boys don't have silly socks, I don't think they even make silly socks for boys so I whipped out 2 pair of white socks, got my colored markers out and covered them with mickey heads:thumbsup2
for hilarious hat day they are wearing their YOAMD hats.

[WIFamily]

Maybe I could finally get a pirate!!!

I missed this earlier.. I'm sorry your DD is having a bad day.. :sick: I hope she is feeling better.. I hate tummy aches :guilty:

Thank you. I think we all had our share of "accidents" in our school career. She who loves school and wishes she could go 7 days a week was obviously not feeling to well today. There have been reports of a little bug going around. I did a modified BRAT diet when we got home and did a shot of immodium for children.

It was time to change out the spare clothes anyway from shorts and a t-shirt to velour pants and a warm baseball jersey type shirt from BIG DOGS. The paranoid mommy in me went online and got all sorts of scary diagnosis about hurt tum-tums. That was no fun either.

[MrsMork]

Bobby was the "mascot" for our December cruise last year. :banana: Since then he has traveled with some of us but mostly he has lived with me. I need to send him to visit some of the others. Maybe Dennis and Angie will take him home after this cruise. :thumbsup2

As for how it started ..... that is the stuff for legends! :lmao:

Good idea. He could spend a bit of time touring the Northwest and then he can go thru the canal with us and then return home with either John1 or PJ.:banana: :banana:

:lmao: It's okay. I really did just get caught up in something in another window.

I was thinking though... if the 30 day window that most people talk about holds true, those of us in GTY cabins could have our room numbers in another 10 days :)

We keep bringing down more and more of our "summer" clothes to leave in our Florida home.. :woohoo:

But I get to Shop for new stuff to keep there as well.. so it is a Win Win for me :dance3:

Morocco is number 1 and Living Seas number 2

Not at Epcot, but nearby. DrHug just said Spoodles at Boardwalk. The food there was magnificent! It is hard to find a romantic atmosphere. They all pack the tables close and there is lots of noise. Not that we are complaining about that. They have to seat lots and lots of people and those people have children so we expect noise. No little tables tucked away for romance that we have found. Fish and Chips counter service sitting by the water is about the closest to romantic we have found. We do LOVE them all though and can't wait to get back down there.

[MrsMork]

We're going to have to find a way to keep the DWs from COMPLETELY pushing us around. Oh, wait..... we're married. :sad2:

[pfishgirl]

So today I was filling out Christmas cards for the Cruise and DH says to me.. Umm.. isn't it a little Early to be doing that?? :confused: and I said, No, not the way we are selling out the ship.. I may need to buy another box of Cards.. :eek:

We are getting quite a group together aren't we? :grouphug:

[Cruise]

So DH and I went out last night and we were talking about vacation days, the ebb and flow of his work schedule, going through the calendar year to map it out and I said "Ok, so it seems like next September might be a good time to work on another big vacation." ("Big" meaning anything other than taking one day off at a time for him :rolleyes: ) And he agreed. So I said "well, then we might want to consider rebooking on board because we could get a really good deal that way."

And, I swear, his head snapped around and he said "We haven't even gone on this one yet and you want to book another one?!" :lmao: :rotfl2: I told him it was just something he should consider if we have a really good time on this one. Like I said, he's not the planner in the family. :rolleyes:

When is dry dock? I read a thread the other day that the Magic was starting to show some wear :sad2: Is the Sept 27th the last one before drydock? I could look all this up, of course... but now I'm on a roll with the typing....

We are the first cruise after dry dock :cool1:

[Cruise]

Oooh, that might be tempting then. Unless they don't have everything done. :scared: I've also read threads where people say the first cruises after drydock sometimes have ongoing work on board.

I should quit reading so much.

Yes.. but alot of times that is for a New Ship just starting out.. Not too sure about a Ship getting some Spring cleaning and a tune up..

:confused3

[pfishgirl]

ok i am really going to bed now... catch up with ya tomorrow..

gotta finish the cleaning before the company starts arriving

cant have trick or treats coming by with a messy house.... actually it's more of the people who invite themselves each year to our house.. but it's cool.. and we love it.. i love halloween more then christmas :goodvibes

subs & pizza for dinner tomorrow.. ALL are invited.. :grouphug: oh and ghost cakes and cookies for dessert :woohoo:

[Cruise]

I guess it would depend on what they're doing as well. But one would hope that since they're taking an extra week this time, they'd be all done.

Oooor, they won't be done and they'll give us an amazing discount on another week ;)

[Cruise]

Goodnight!

:goodvibes Morning Julie!

We are on the Magic right before drydock next September. We disembark on September 6th. Then, it heads to VA for drydock. I hope they don't start the renovations while we are still onboard. I've heard about them still painting and finishing up little touch-ups on the cruise right after drydock too. :scared: Maybe, besides it being hurricane season, that is why this cruise was so cheap. :rolleyes1

[Cruise]

Good morning, Jennifer!

Wait.. why are we saying morning? It's only 11:30pm here. Though I guess it's technically tomorrow there.

Anyway... yeah, I think I read somewhere that they started tearing up carpets before a drydock once. :scared: That being said, I'm thinking if the cruise isn't full, they'll probably upgrade everyone so they can have as much of Deck 1 and 2 free if they wanted to start a bit early.

Optimism anyway :)

[TheTXTaylors5]

Julie:

Are you on the Magic next September too? :confused: Lucky you if you are on AFTER drydock. I am curious what kind of upgrades they are making. I heard rumors about more Suites. Maybe, they can make a bigger pool somewhere? That is really my only complaint about DCL, the pools are way too small for the amount of people expected to use them. :confused:

We're already booked in a Cat. 3 for that cruise. It is our "splurge cruise" because of the price. So, I don't expect any upgrades for us. :sad2:

I'm not on anything after December at this point. A few posts up, I was talking about how I was con.... err... talking DH into maybe rebooking on board and how September would be good for his work schedule. Then, of course, I figure out that the Magic is out of commission for most of September. :rolleyes:

[Cruise]

Yeah, I understand the feeling. I just couldn't sleep last night for some reason and ended up staying up till after 4am. :headache:

[TheTXTaylors5]

We took advantage of rebooking onboard with the 10% discount and onboard credits. Then, we transferred the reservation to AAA and kept the discount and onboard credits. Then, we got additional AAA onboards credits. So, all our tips are already paid for before we even step onboard with money left over for a few Midori Coladas. :cool1:

:thumbsup2 Others on here have transferred their onboard reservations to the site sponsor "Dreams Unlimited". They have rave reviews. So, we plan to use them in the future.

Bill took one of my Ambien. He needs a good nights sleep. So, I figure one of us needs to be somewhat alert in case the kids need us. I don't mind. I am a night owl.

- Jennifer

[Cruise]

We used DU for our second cruise and again for his one. Since we were within the window of "final payment due," I knew I had to go straight through the TA if I wanted an onboard credit since it seems you can't get one if you transfer after final payment has been made.

It paid off though... when I got the quote for them, they actually quoted me a bigger onboard credit than was listed on the website. So I'll take it. :thumbsup2

That's my biggest fear... being too out of it if an emergency comes along. I just know the night I decide to take something to put me out will be the night the next "big one" hits out here. And DH is such a heavy sleeper, I feel like I have to be the one to scream hysterically. :lmao:

[TheTXTaylors5]

FUTURE LATE NIGHT POSTS WARNING:

Y'all are forewarned, Bill informed me this weekend that he has an upcoming business trip scheduled in November. I was up at all hours of the night the last time he went away. So, future late night rambles could soon follow. I apologize in advance. :rotfl:

:thumbsup2 I'm glad that worked out for you. See. . . another positive experience with DU.

We planned to transfer our current cruise to DU. But, our AAA Rep has left and the new Rep has no clue about DCL or our reservation. So, we were afraid to have her in our reservation poking around. We figure if she leaves it alone, it should be fine. :rotfl:

- Jennifer

[Cruise]

I've heard other people say they don't like DU cause they're almost completely email based, it takes time to get answers and quotes, etc. But I figure I'm one of those people that does enough research and such that I don't really need a TA for much. If they're willing to give me an onboard credit out of their commission and it doesn't cost any more than booking directly with Disney, I figure why not? :confused3 But I can understand why a person who was unfamiliar with Disney and needed a little more hand-holding might be turned off by DU.

[JsMom2]

Good Morning!

Are you gals still up? I've spent the last half hour calling Jasmine, trying to wake her up. Usually when I call her she's up and awake. Last night she started feeling sick, so I figured if I'd let her stay home today and sleep it off if needed. (Didn't tell her that).

But when she wasn't answering either her cell or the home phone then I started to get a bit worried. My neighbors all keep an eye out for her at the bus stop, and make sure she's there each morning, so I was going to have one go by and check on her. Then I finally got thru. I had her call the neighbors while I was on the phone with her, then told her to take some Sudafed and go back to bed. :sick:

[JsMom2]

Jennifer,
Are you guys driving to Florida in December?

[TheTXTaylors5]

When I was younger, my sister and I visited family in San Diego. I was in a dead sleep when I felt my bed shaking a little and then the pictures on the wall were banging a little against the wall. It was a really "mild" earthquake. But, a weird experience and one I still remember to this day. Usually in the movies, things are banging everywhere and chairs and tables are sliding across the floor. But, what I experienced was pretty mild. My Aunt and Uncle didn't even wake up. I guess they were use to it. :rolleyes:

The main thing we have to worry about around here are tornados. But, we are out of that season right now. We have really weird seasons in Texas. I will never get use to not having a "true" winter. We have maybe one or two days the most of snow flurries. Even then, it doesn't stick. We keep promising the kids we will go see snow one year. So, they can finally go sledding.

This will be my first cruise and first trip outside the U.S. other than a drive-by of Canada.

we're from Tennessee, traveling w/ mother in law. husband (39), son (10) and daughter (5); sister-in-law (30-something) and brother in-law (30 something); another sister in-law (30-something) and her son (13).

We can't wait.

Welcome to you and your family!!

I'm traveling with my DD who's 9, and with my sister, her friend, my brother, his wife, and their son (14)

You're joining a fun group. Be sure to checkout the lime green link in my signature for the info on the Meets we have planned during the cruise. Also, if you have any questions just ask away you are in good hands here!

I've only had a couple of those since we've been in CA. The last one was only a couple months ago. I was sitting here at the computer and everything started shaking. It'll freak ya out a little bit :)

I was very impressed with DU when we were having difficulties booking our Palo and excursions at the 90 day mark because the DCL site wasn't working properly. Our AAA office just had a message when we called them. But, Angie (MrsMork) got a response from DU online within half an hour. :thumbsup2

- Jennifer

[JsMom2]

well I am having no luck what-so-ever with trying to get this note, the doctors office told me to call the people that provided the device then they told me I need a serial number which I called the doctor back and they don't have it so I called the hospital and they transfer me then they transfer me then they transfer me then they transfer me........... :furious: finally the last person told me to call back tomorrow as everyone who would know something is gone.......my question is why wouldn't they be able to just pull up his chart and get the serial number........ I use to work for medical records and it is not that hard.... It's just that no body wants to do it, I was angry when the doctors nurse said if I needed any further assistance just give them a call :sad2: , like hello I think it is their job to do the chasing seeing how they never applied for the card. The lady from the device place was very kind she tried everything to look him up but could not find anything where as everyone else keeps pawning me off...........

OK I feel much better now, thanks for letting me vent.

I'm so sorry you had to go thru that. Not enough you had to endure the trauma of surgery on your son. Now you get passed around like a plate of cheese and crackers. :headache: I have a lot of posts to catch up on. Hopefully by the time I get caught up, you'll have gotten your note. :hug:

OK, I just thought I'd check in case you wanted to share a ride to BWV, BCV. I thought about taking the DCL bus, since it's just Jasmine and me. But I don't want to leave until I'm sure my family is in their van to the airport.


If anyone else is interested in sharing private trans to WDW just let me know.

Good morning, Wendy!

Hi Julie!
I grew up in CA, and have been thru quite a few earthquakes. What gets me is when they go on and on and you don't know when/if they are ever going to end.

The last time I lived in CA, it seemed like the quakes were more frequent than I remembered. I was glad to get out of there!

[JsMom2]

:sick: I'm sorry Jasmine is sick. Please tell her to get better soon from us. :flower3:

- Jennifer (& Family)

Thanks, I will. I'm planning on getting our flu shots next Monday, so poor kid will probably be sick again next week!

It's no fun being sick. :sad1:

[JsMom2]

Ok.. wait... There is a MVMCP on the 16th of December :confused3
Can I still get tickets?

YES, I just bought ours online yesterday! Do it, do it!!

If anyone has tickets to MVMCP and want to PM me with the date, I'll put it on the blog, so we everyone can see who's going when

[JsMom2]

Jasmine :flower3:

It's no fun being sick. :sad1:

Thanks Julie
I'll show her when I get home.

Believe it or not, I still haven't seen any Starbucks here. :scared1: Well not for sure, I THINK I saw one downtown once, but I could be thinking of another city.

But we are definitely getting into the rainy season. I think the dog kind of digs it, because he loves getting toweled of when he comes in from outside.

[JsMom2]

:lmao:

I saw the new machine on a TV Special I was like, :scared1: Just how many people will see the outline of my Granny Panties :scared: Maybe I will have to buy 2 new fancy pretty undies just for Airport Security..

Speaking of... DH travels more then I so he got "Clear" and goes through the other extra short line for Security.. Well he generally takes the bag so I can just walk through and catch up to him a little faster.. Well coming home he had his bag opened and searched.. What was inside?.. :scared1: A Red Velvet Cape with hood I got on sale while in FL to bring home for Halloween, Barretts, BC Pills, 4- 9 volt batteries, a pack of Pantyhose, also bought on sale in FL, a Star Magazine & Pen, oh and a bag of Candy we got from the MNSSHP.. :rotfl2: I wish I was there to see the woman's face when she searched "his" bag..

I think the dog kind of digs it, because he loves getting toweled of when he comes in from outside.

:sad2: Our dog refuses to go outside when it is raining. He'll stand there and look at me and then look outside and then back at me again with those puppy-dog eyes. Like I can control the rain to make it stop. He is a weird dog. :rolleyes1

- Jennifer

[TheTXTaylors5]

YES, I just bought ours online yesterday! Do it, do it!!

If anyone has tickets to MVMCP and want to PM me with the date, I'll put it on the blog, so we everyone can see who's going when

We're going to :santa: MVMCP :santa: before the cruise. I know there are others on here that are going before the cruise too. :goodvibes

- Jennifer

[TheTXTaylors5]

Wendy:

I'll let you get caught up on all the posts. . . chat with you later! :goodvibes

[TheTXTaylors5]

:goodvibes Good Night/Morning Julie! :goodvibes

- Jennifer

[JsMom2]

Your family/friends probably say exactly what ours say....."Again?" :lmao: :lmao: :rotfl: Yep, again!

Same, as mine. Although they laugh at me while they're saying it. :confused3

The kids got into finding the "Hidden Mickeys" this past trip. However, some of their "Hidden Mickeys" weren't so hidden (like a picture of Mickey Mouse :rolleyes: ).
- Jennifer

:lmao: :lmao:

:thumbsup2 We are looking forward to the sea days too. We didn't have much "down time" on our last cruise. It was the 4-Day Wonder cruise. Having days onboard to explore and maybe sleep in one day, will be sooooooo nice. :cloud9:
- Jennifer

The Med cruise was a killer. At least we were on the 11 day, so we had 3 sea days. On the 10 day cruise I heard from the CMs that all the guests were in bed by 9pm one night. She said it was "really weird."

Sometimes I wish I lived in the Jetson's house. . . Poof! Dinner is served! :lmao:
- Jennifer

I told DD I didnt' really feel like cooking last night, so she made dinner. Baked potatoe and bacon flavored Chunky Soup. yum! popcorn::


What's gonna be funny is that all the party pooper DHs are gonna end up in the same bar having a beer while we're at the Dis meets and become great friends. :lmao:

Yeah, they'll all be talking about what a cult we are, not realizing they are forming their own!

:rotfl:
Here are my top picks,

-Chefs de France/ Bistro de Paris (they have adorable Ratatouille menus for your daughter)
-Le Cellier
-Tepon Edo (The new/recently refurbished hibachi restaurant in Japan)

Are you staying for a vacation or just for the evening? If you are on a vacation, consider doing the premium myw package. You get a private Illuminations viewing included :love:

Spoken like a true professional! I'm sure you're doing great at your new job. :thumbsup2

- Jennifer

I've started putting ours in his cage when we are eating - after 3 years! He gives me that look when I tell him to go in. The funny thing is he'll stay in there without me having to lock the door.

[TheTXTaylors5]

Initially, we put our DISdog in his crate to house train him. Then, we use to put him in his crate when we left the house for long periods of time. Now, he only goes in the crate if we have guests that don't like dogs. I can't put him in the backyard because he will jump and bark at the back door until I let him in. He is a brat. He has his own doggie bed in our room and still ends up by my feet in our bed. He's in the office right now by my feet. So, I guess he's not all that bad. He's a great foot warmer. :lmao:

- Jennifer

[TheTXTaylors5]

I know Bill previously asked about "romantic" dining at Epcot. :thumbsup2 Thank you to everyone for your recommendations. Believe it or not, we got reservations (Le Cellier) and child care at Epcot for :love: Valentine's Day:love:. This will be the first time we have gone out to dinner on Valentine's Day in 8 years! Usually, we have a nice dinner at home. Like this past WDW trip, we have to go all the way to Florida for a "date night". :hug: Thank you honey! :love:

[TheTXTaylors5]

The Med cruise was a killer. At least we were on the 11 day, so we had 3 sea days. On the 10 day cruise I heard from the CMs that all the guests were in bed by 9pm one night. She said it was "really weird."

Bill and I decided to head down to some of the clubs onboard the last night of our cruise and it was a ghost town. Everyone must turn in early the last night. Not us. We wanted to take advantage of every last moment on that ship. :rolleyes:

- Jennifer

[TheTXTaylors5]

I guess it is "almost" time for me to catch some ZZZZZZ :cloud9:

[TheTXTaylors5]

I started working on our fish extender today. I bought a huge stocking (30") from Wal-Mart.

- Jennifer

[TheTXTaylors5]

I think most of you are ahead of the game on getting things to go in the fish extenders. I need to start picking up items here and there. I have a few ideas. This is going to be fun! :cool1:

- Jennifer

[TheTXTaylors5]

I don't know if anyone else does this but, ever since we went on the Disney cruise. . . I ALWAYS make a Mickey head when I pour ketchup for the kids. I just can't help myself. :lmao:

- Jennifer

[TheTXTaylors5]

Also, when I make pancakes. . . I make Mickey head pancakes. :rolleyes1

[TheTXTaylors5]

Okay, as you can tell. . . I am just waiting for Wendy to catch up. She has a lot to read. :lmao:

[TheTXTaylors5]

These past few months have gone by so quickly! :cool1:

[JsMom2]

Are you all caught up yet Wendy? :lmao:

- Jennifer

Nope, I got sidetracked looking at the luggage on the Disney shopping site. I saw that the have free shipping for $60 and up. So I was trying to find stuff I actually need to make up the difference. Found a Stitch trailer hitch cover for $4.99, but that only brought it up to $59.98. So I finally found something to put in the basket, only to find that the luggage isn't eligible for free shipping. :headache:

Now I figure I'll see what can of deals I can get on Ebags using the Mousesaver discount.

But before I do that I really need to do some work today!

Congrats on the Triple pirate: I'll update that before I get to work!

[TheTXTaylors5]

:surfweb: The DISboards can be so addictive. But, it is also a great resource for DCL and Disney in general information.

But I see I'm back just in time :rolleyes1 pirate:

Hi Julie:

I was curious where you went? :confused:

- Jennifer

[Cruise]

What's funny is that you'd think when the 'net goes down at 12:30am, a person would go to sleep, right? No... I have to stay up just long enough to make sure it comes back on.... then I can sleep :lmao:

[TheTXTaylors5]

:thumbsup2 Thanks for the update Wendy!

- Jennifer

[Cruise]

I was reading a book called "The Worst Case Scenario" during the downtime. Interesting stuff. Now I know how to fend off a shark while we're snorkeling in St Thomas :thumbsup2

[Cruise]

Okay, can you punch them in the nose?

- Jennifer

No! That's the common misconception! The more sensitive areas are the gills or the eyes. Try for those first. If you can't get them, then nose is better than nothing. Basically, anything that shows them you're gonna fight back and not be an easy meal. popcorn::

[TheTXTaylors5]

Julie:

:goodvibes Thank you for the gesture. But, I like my princess:

- Jennifer

[Cruise]

Did you know you're also not supposed to suck venom from a snake bite anymore either?

And I read how to make a fire in the wilderness. That's one thing I never get with the people who go on Survivor. They know they're going... yet they don't read any kinda survival guide? Wouldn't you pick one up on your way back from the post office dropping off the application just on the off chance that you'd get picked? :confused3

Okay, so hit them in the eyes or gills. That's good to know. I hope I never have to use that knowledge. I had always heard that myth about punching them in the nose. But, didn't know how smart that would be to get your hand that close to the front of their mouth. :rolleyes:

Sorry, my explorer crashed. I tried to post a message saying yes there are larger bags on Ebags.

Since Jennifer decided to keep the wench, I'll give Julie the pirate. Be back in a sec.

Hope you get some sleep Jennifer! :cloud9:

Go take care of business and then get home and take care of Princess Jasmine.

I am off to "try" and :cloud9:

- Jennifer

[pfishgirl]

Wow you night owls were busy... :surfweb: Posting the night away..

Awwww Poor Jasmine... Please tell her I hope she gets better quick :flower3:

We are on the 1st Post dry dock Cruise.. We have a category 4 so I doubt we will get any type of Upgrade.. But we have a connecting room with my MIL, FIL, and Niece (5) so I think that is a Double whammy against us.. Maybe hoping we may possibly get some type of FLorida Resident discount is the Only thing we could do.. :confused3

DS left for school and it is dark out.. :sad2: I hate this time to see him have to go out in the cold :cold: in the dark.. I will pick him up after school at 1:05 pm since I am off from BAB today.. He will drive himself to the Orthodontist for a 2:45pm appointment to fix his broken bottom pallet expander.. Then it is Trick or Treat from 2-8pm.. Guess because it is a school night the town decided to call the Ghosts & Gobblins in early..

Congrats to Julie for her pirate: and Jennifer for her princess: I have some catching up to do.. :rolleyes1

DH is still in bed.. I hope he didn't fall back to sleep... :eek: I don't hear any movement upstairs at all yet.. :confused3

Ok well I better get him up and off to work..

I NEED to get the house cleaned BEFORE I get back or else it will just NEVER get done :upsidedow I will Vacuum & Dust and start the Cupcakes and Then come check up on you all.. :woohoo: Because then I'll be able to Dis the afternoon away.. :surfweb: At least til I get DS from school..

Have a wonderful Day :grouphug:

[JsMom2]

Everyone kept telling me that when they were babies, " you only need one can I have the other" haven't heard that in a long time.... :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: I can't believe my babies are not babies anymore.:sad:

Yep, my DD says you'll have to get a new username since your boys aren't infants anymore. ;)

[JsMom2]

Thank you. I think we all had our share of "accidents" in our school career. She who loves school and wishes she could go 7 days a week was obviously not feeling to well today. There have been reports of a little bug going around. I did a modified BRAT diet when we got home and did a shot of immodium for children.

It was time to change out the spare clothes anyway from shorts and a t-shirt to velour pants and a warm baseball jersey type shirt from BIG DOGS. The paranoid mommy in me went online and got all sorts of scary diagnosis about hurt tum-tums. That was no fun either.


Hope your DD feels better soon! :flower3:

[BethC1952]

Others on here have transferred their onboard reservations to the site sponsor "Dreams Unlimited". They have rave reviews. So, we plan to use them in the future.

- Jennifer

We've used DU for all but our first cruise. Our local travel agent got the cruise reservation right, but she forgot to put my FIL on the resorts or the transportation. I was able to straighten that out, but never went back to her! We've used Merrie at DU and she's always been great!

When I was younger, my sister and I visited family in San Diego. I was in a dead sleep when I felt my bed shaking a little and then the pictures on the wall were banging a little against the wall. It was a really "mild" earthquake. But, a weird experience and one I still remember to this day. Usually in the movies, things are banging everywhere and chairs and tables are sliding across the floor. But, what I experienced was pretty mild. My Aunt and Uncle didn't even wake up. I guess they were use to it. :rolleyes:

- Jennifer

Every now and then we have earthquakes here in NJ. Nothing big, but I can remember the first summer I was married we had a quake that was strong enough that my new dishes fell off of the shelves. Thank goodness we had carpet in that apartment! We lived right along the edge of the Delaware River in the small town of Florence at that time.

:sad2: Our dog refuses to go outside when it is raining. He'll stand there and look at me and then look outside and then back at me again with those puppy-dog eyes. Like I can control the rain to make it stop. He is a weird dog. :rolleyes1

- Jennifer

Our dogs all hate the rain, but love snow! Once they know it's snowing outside, they throw themselves against doors and windows to get outside and play in it.

OK, I'm all caught up! I fell asleep early last night, and had a busy morning this morning. Today was "treatment day" for my DIL. Last month's treatment didn't "hold", so she's trying again this month. If this month doesn't work, she's skipping next month because we'll all be in Florida, and then in January they will try another approach. The way it's being done now doesn't result in "multiples" any more than the natural way would. Of course, if it does work, she'll find out while we're on vacation--that would be really cool! So once again, some prayers and pixie dust would be appreciated!

I suggested to Jim that he might find himself in one of the bars with the rest of the DIS males drinking beer. He's threatening to start a thread for "abandoned DIS husbands on the Dec. 8 cruise".

He's also starting to think about cruising next year. "The kids" want to cruise in the very early spring if the treatment works this month so that they can still cruise before she's 24 weeks. They want to do just a short (probably four night) cruise, and of course we'll have to go with them! We're thinking about a longer cruise in the fall, but that, too, will depend on how things are progressing on the pregnancy front! I'd need to be home when the "big day" approaches.

Wendy, I hope Jasmine is feeling better!

Amber, I hope your DD is feeling better, too!

Everybody needs to start getting healthy!

Beth

[JsMom2]

So I said "well, then we might want to consider rebooking on board because we could get a really good deal that way."

And, I swear, his head snapped around and he said "

Julie, if you get a Disney Visa card before you cruise, you can rebook onboard and you'll have 6 months to decide whether or not you want to take the cruise, before you'll have to pay the deposit off!

I recommend the Oct 25th cruise to Costa Maya, Cozumel, and a double dip at Castaway Cay. Plus, you'll have halloween onboard the ship, and can do the MNSSHP before or after! I just booked Jasmine and I, and the prices were pretty reasonable. I'm planning on cancelling and rebooking onboard, as long as the prices haven't gone up so much that it doesn't make sense to do so.

Good morning, Jennifer!

Anyway... yeah, I think I read somewhere that they started tearing up carpets before a drydock once. :scared: That being said, I'm thinking if the cruise isn't full, they'll probably upgrade everyone so they can have as much of Deck 1 and 2 free if they wanted to start a bit early.

Optimism anyway :)

The 5 day double dip right before the Dry dock is already sold out!

FUTURE LATE NIGHT POSTS WARNING:

Y'all are forewarned, Bill informed me this weekend that he has an upcoming business trip scheduled in November. I was up at all hours of the night the last time he went away. So, future late night rambles could soon follow. I apologize in advance. :rotfl:

- Jennifer

Ramble Away. :yay:

Also, when I make pancakes. . . I make Mickey head pancakes. :rolleyes1

- Jennifer

I actually picked up a Mickey Mouse pancake shaper at WDW a few years back.

Beth

That'd be awesome! :rotfl:

[JsMom2]

Well I'm going to head home. Jasmine wanted me to tell everyone thank you for the well wishes. She also said to thank Stacy for saying that she is sweet.

I'll touch base with you all later. :wave:

[MrsMork]

I've heard other people say they don't like DU cause they're almost completely email based, it takes time to get answers and quotes, etc. But I figure I'm one of those people that does enough research and such that I don't really need a TA for much. If they're willing to give me an onboard credit out of their commission and it doesn't cost any more than booking directly with Disney, I figure why not? :confused3 But I can understand why a person who was unfamiliar with Disney and needed a little more hand-holding might be turned off by DU.

DU does email, but I have to again give them kudos. When we were booking at the 90 day mark at midnight, I sent an email about the problems I was having, expecting to not hear back until Monday and I got an email reply within minutes saying she had looked at my ressie and it should be ok. Wow! Midnight on a weekend. That is good customer service!

[MrsMork]

Omg... I just read back and saw how much Jennifer posted to get to the pirate and now I feel bad. :sad1:

Can I give my pirate: to Jennifer? :flower3:

Yes, DU did the same for me, and then helped me get back all of my lost reservations when I changed to the Cat. 12 GTY! I can't imagine booking a trip without their help now! They also saved me some money on the "after cruise" stay at Port Orleans Riverside, although they couldn't get me a discount on the "before cruise" Animal Kingdom Lodge because I had a pool view and the discount was only for standard view. My only complaint with them is that they can't book sites at Fort Wilderness. I actually had to do that myself!:eek:

Dusted the Living Room... Time for a :surfweb:

OK, so I have to ask you ALL... Who makes Lists of Planning things?

DH thinks I'm nuts.. I think it is part of my OCD.. Only never realised it until now.. I make Lists all the time.. Not just 1 or once but like 3 or 4 at a time for things.. K, here is an example..

We were on the plane to come home Sunday morning and I remembered something else I needed for the December cruise.. So into my bag I go and I pulled out a Wad of paper and a pen.. Not sure why.. But I can't keep lists in a notebook.. They have to be seperate.. :confused3 Ok so anyway.. DH looks over and asks what's all that.. and I said my lists.. He said of what.. and I showed him.. :rolleyes1

He looks them over, hands them back, :sad2: and says to me... Do you know you have a Compulsion Planning problem.. :confused: I took the lists and I said Yes, ::yes:: Yes I do and Thank You very much for noticing :laughing:

I had several Lists.. One of each.. I can't seem to put them on 1 Big page.. I need them on small seperate ones.. :guilty:

What clothes I have in FL
What clothes DH has in FL
What clothes DS has in FL
What Makeup I have in FL
What Makeup I have in my Travel Bag *currently in FL for the cruise*
What clothes I need from NJ for the cruise
What clothes DH needs from NJ for the cruise
Measurements of ALL the windows of the FL house *Proudly on 1 sheet*

Is This Normal ? :confused:

Cause I'm starting to think having 8 seperate lists may not be so normal.. :coffee:

Off for another room.. Back in a Jiff..

I don't have a wad of paper, I keep my Palm Pilot with me at all times, and it contains all of the following:

My lists aren't quite as bad, but that may be because I have only one house. I have all of our clothing sizes, I have packing lists--business travel, vacation travel, camping travel, what I still need to buy (exciting stuff like aspirin, bandaids, etc.), lists of people I need to buy souvenirs for, and the things I might like to get for them. I also have number of windows in each room and size of each, dimensions of each room, dimensions of our property, and scanned color swatches of the stuff in every room. You never know when you're going to run into some good bargains, right?

I also have bunches of photographs stored (wanna see pictures of my family? house? cats? dogs? guinea pigs? hamster?). I'll take those out while I'm traveling so that I can store pictures that I take during the trip (Did I remember to take a picture of the Mickey statue in the atrium? Yes, there it is!)

And of course, all those "Notes to Self" that would otherwise run wild in my purse (What room was pfishgirl in? What time the wine tasting? Where I am having dinner on Dec 7?).

Without my Palm Pilot I'd be a complete disaster!

I'll take those out while I'm traveling so that I can store pictures that I take during the trip (Did I remember to take a picture of the Mickey statue in the atrium? Yes, there it is!)

And of course, all those "Notes to Self" that would otherwise run wild in my purse (What room was pfishgirl in? What time the wine tasting? Where I am having dinner on Dec 7?).

Without my Palm Pilot I'd be a complete disaster!

Beth

And you said You're lists aren't quite as bad.. hmm.. :rolleyes1

;) I'm glad I'm not the only one around here..

I don't think I can use a Palm Pilot.. Only because I need to be able to see everything on the list or I'd be adding the same things Twice and I flip through them constantly to make sure I didn't forget anything..

[pfishgirl]

I went outside and it seems to be a little on the warmer side.. :cheer2: Yeaaaaaaaaaa which means lots of trick or treaters :dance3: We have so much Candy and I can't stand it staring at me every day :scared:

It Must Go !! I'm sure I've taken a piece here and there for the past week and if I keep that up.. I won't fit in any of my Cruise Clothes :headache:

I have a list-making program that sorts everything so that I can see what's already on the list. I can check things off and then see either the checked or unchecked stuff, or everything. It also has an alarm clock program which was really handy today since my alarm clock broke yesterday and never went off in the AM! Fortunately, my body clock knows when it's time to get up, and I woke up within one minute of the usual time anyway. I think I've become way too predicatable!:sad2:

Now, back to the very boring task of organizing some photographs to send to a newspaper that wants to do a story on Christmas activities here in town. We haven't even had Halloween yet, and they're doing Christmas!

Beth

[pfishgirl]

Christmas?? :scared: I am set to Halloween mode and the Cruise.. Can't get my mind set to Christmas yet.. :sad2:

Although, I did see Christmas decorations and stuff in Stores about 2 weeks ago :eek:

[BethC1952]

Oh, but it gets worse...I just finished designing and printing the Summer Schedule for our concert series for 2008! It goes to the printer next week. No wonder I'm always playing catch-up with myself. I live in a time warp!

Yikes.. :scared: I do have Some plans made for our September 08 cruise, but that is because it is a great Dis group like this one, and we have 5 cabins reserved for us, family and friends.. They tease me over there cause I keep adding Rooms to our list.. I'm going to sell out the Cruise soon :woohoo:

[pfishgirl]

Okies.. I need to finish up and Go get my son from school...

2 more hours til Trick or Treat !!!! but, I'm sure I will be back in between because the Housework is Done !!!!!!!!!!!!! :woohoo:

I still have to bake the cookies and cake but that won't take long and I can Dis while it bakes :surfweb:

Back Soon...

[Cruise]

Dusted the Living Room... Time for a :surfweb:

OK, so I have to ask you ALL... Who makes Lists of Planning things?

DH thinks I'm nuts.. I think it is part of my OCD.. Only never realised it until now.. I make Lists all the time.. Not just 1 or once but like 3 or 4 at a time for things.. K, here is an example..

We were on the plane to come home Sunday morning and I remembered something else I needed for the December cruise.. So into my bag I go and I pulled out a Wad of paper and a pen.. Not sure why.. But I can't keep lists in a notebook.. They have to be seperate.. :confused3 Ok so anyway.. DH looks over and asks what's all that.. and I said my lists.. He said of what.. and I showed him.. :rolleyes1

He looks them over, hands them back, :sad2: and says to me... Do you know you have a Compulsion Planning problem.. :confused: I took the lists and I said Yes, ::yes:: Yes I do and Thank You very much for noticing :laughing:

I had several Lists.. One of each.. I can't seem to put them on 1 Big page.. I need them on small seperate ones.. :guilty:

What clothes I have in FL
What clothes DH has in FL
What clothes DS has in FL
What Makeup I have in FL
What Makeup I have in my Travel Bag *currently in FL for the cruise*
What clothes I need from NJ for the cruise
What clothes DH needs from NJ for the cruise
Measurements of ALL the windows of the FL house *Proudly on 1 sheet*

Is This Normal ? :confused:

Cause I'm starting to think having 8 seperate lists may not be so normal.. :coffee:

Off for another room.. Back in a Jiff..

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

omg... this is so me. I have lists of my lists so I won't forget what I already have a list of!! :lmao: DH makes fun of me, but he knows better than to ask if I got him something at the store that he didn't ask about before I went. Cause, "Nope, it wasn't on the list."

My newest compulsion with them though is that I got a Sidekick about 2 or 3 months ago and it has a whole tab for just making lists. :banana: :banana: So now we'll be out in the middle of somewhere and I flip the screen up on my Sidekick to add to my list. Hey, if you think of something randomly, how else are you going to remember it? :confused3

Right now, the top 4 are (they update and keep themselves in order by edited date) are Grocery list, Cruise list, Christmas list, and Carryon list (stuff I wanna take with me on the plane vs what I check in luggage). :laughing:

[AmberDaClown]

Thanks everyone, DD was doing fine today. Back to school.

I was a chainsaw wielding woman as I cut up dead branches for our chiminea this morning. There were literal frost on the pumpkins, but we still have not turned on our heat. We did close the windows last night though. Fell asleep during "Heroes".

Tonight on Reaper, Patton Oswalt who voiced "Ratatoullie" is going to be playing an escaped soul who begs Sam to not turn him in since hell is closed on Halloween.

[coastgirl]

DS left for school and it is dark out.. :sad2: I hate this time to see him have to go out in the cold :cold: in the dark.. I will pick him up after school at 1:05 pm since I am off from BAB today.. He will drive himself to the Orthodontist for a 2:45pm appointment to fix his broken bottom pallet expander.. Then it is Trick or Treat from 2-8pm.. Guess because it is a school night the town decided to call the Ghosts & Gobblins in early..
.

Have a wonderful Day :grouphug:

Stacy, curious, what's your boy's school day, is he normally done by 1 or is it just the appt? Seems ridiculous to me that they start kids so early...especially as we know now that teens REALLY aren't good at functioning in the morning for legitimate reasons...

I hate this time of year too, noticed the other day it was dark around 6. Next week's going to kill me once standard time kicks in again...

Definitely a list maker. Especially for entertaining/cleaning--had a kid-party on the w/e and I had to make my to-do list before I could sleep a few days before...mostly so I can feel like I'm getting somewhere, like "clean counter clutter"--check! Otherwise it feels like I've not made progress!

And yes, cleaning warrants reward breaks. :thumbsup2

I have a list-making program that sorts everything so that I can see what's already on the list.

But clearly it's time to go high-tech... I used to use the "to do" tab on outlook at work but it was too depressing--I only used it for the things I HATED and somehow they never got checked off...:rolleyes1

[coastgirl]

Oh, just wanted to add good wishes for the kids, Amber's dd and Jasmine and Stacy's ds going back to the orthodontist...

Dd's got evidence of a tummy bug ('nuf said) and is now freaking out that I mentioned "I hope you're not too sick for trick or treating". STUPID mommy!! :rolleyes1

[JsMom2]

Cause I'm starting to think having 8 seperate lists may not be so normal.. :coffee:



Normal is anything that works for you. But I would be so tempted to take all those lists and put them in one binder, and then separate them by color coded tabs. :goodvibes

Another option is to go digital. My phone is also a pocket pc, so I can save, edit, and review documents on it. You could have all your lists in one place!

[JsMom2]

I don't think I can use a Palm Pilot.. Only because I need to be able to see everything on the list or I'd be adding the same things Twice and I flip through them constantly to make sure I didn't forget anything..

I don't know I think Beth and I could bring you over to the "dark side". It's been done before. :lmao:

Ooh, a list making program! Which one do you use?

I use the Splash Suite on my phone. There's one password protected application that lets you store all of your frequent flyer numbers, passwords, etc. I miss the Splash Shopper they used to have. I used it in California, and had the grocery items reconciled with the aisle they were on in the Miramar Commissary. After I created the list, I'd sort it by aisle and zip, zip!

If you get a pocket PC phone you can also DIS while you're reconciling all your lists and calendar with your PC.:thumbsup2

Thanks Joanne. After a full day of lounging on the couch watching TV - Tivo is empty, and there are stacks of DVDs on the coffee table - she is feeling better.

I hope your DD feels better soon. Tummy bugs are no fun. I'm sure she'll make a miraculous recovery in time to eat halloween candy. :goodvibes

Jasmine caught something the last few days of our first Disney cruise. We were at the character breakfast and she threw up into her napkin. She refused to leave though before she saw the characters. So we've got all these cute photos of Jasmine smiling happily with the characters, with a plate full of crackers in front of her. I think she threw up twice in between the characters but you'd never know from the pics. At the time we thought it was seasickness. But she woke up a few days later - disembarkation day and was throwing up all over the place. She threw up in the terminal, she threw up on the bus. I got a wheelchair for her in the airport, but she threw up right until we got on the plane. Luckily it was nonstop back to LA, and she slept the whole way.

I think it was about 6 months later that we were in a garden store, and we saw one of those fountains where water comes out of an animals mouth. Jasmine said, "that looks like Jasmine on the Disney cruise!" Glad she could laugh about it. ;)
