Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[joelidol]

There! 5000+ Horray!!!!! WE made it before we left on the cruise! Way to go all! :thumbsup2

[firemans wife]

Hi everyone



I like Tiara Bob and the dreamboats :rockband: Can't wait to hear you all sing :cool1: Don't think I can talk my DH into singing.

Boy sounds like some of you ate well today. Shell I am going to try that pork chop recipe. All I had was left over tacos.

Linda- you are really organized with the scrapbooking. You have inspired me to try to get a book done. I love to scrap book, but it is hard to find time to do it- I don't know why :confused3

You guys are putting me to shame with your packing!! I have barely started. :scared1: I am getting the suit case out tomorrow. I also have to get my door signs done. Do you actually buy magnetic paper or do you put the paper in a magnetic page protector? I have not even been to the store to look for anything yet. I have a lot of scrapbooking supplies and I plan to use some of that.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. My birthday is actually tomorrow, but we celebrated yesterday. I guess I am like Bob and have 2 days to celebrate :rotfl: Tomorrow will be a day all to myself. NO husband or kids Oh what shall I do?? :)

Today we went to church. We then spent the rest of the day visiting 2 friends who are in the hospital. My one friend had a baby, so that was a fun visit!

Well I think I am all caught up. I am becoming a DIS addict :lmao: Spending way too much time online.

Did watch the Wonder sail off tonight. Wow that will be us in less than 2 weeks!! :bounce:


Have a good night all.
Lorna :firefight

[mom x4,grandma x4]

party: party: party:
WOW, I stop long enough to watch a movie and you guys did it!!!!!

Guess I will have to put the whip back in storage :sad2:

unless we need it to get Tiara Bob and the Dreamboats up on the stage with :rotfl2:

Great job everyone!!!!

kathy :wave:

[woogal]

:cool1: NICE GOING WENDY AND JOSH IN PUSHING FOR THAT 5000!!!!!!! :cool1: I guess the only goal we have left is ... boarding the ship! :rotfl:

Wendy and Denise: The recipe is SOOOOOOOOOO easy. Ready?
1. Brown pork chops (don't have to be cooked all the way through)
2. Place chops in crockpot
3. Cover chops with 1 box of prepared pork-flavored Stove Top stuffing
4. Cover stuffing with 1 can of apple pie filling
5. Turn on the crockpot; cook on medium for about 4 hours

Kelly, honestly ... the only thing I need on the ship is ME! Otherwise it's just my normal, everyday routine stuff (toiletries and such). Probably the only thing I can't do without is sunglasses. I've heard of people using those over-the-door shoe organizers for toiletries, too, which is a pretty good idea! But there's only 2 of us, so we're not really that crowded in the cabin.

DBWally ... it's true. Wendy, Cheri and I are like a 3-headed monster :lmao:

Desperate Housewives is coming on soon ... catch you all tomorrow.

[LindaBabe]

There's only two of us, too, Woo, but we're so disorganized we need the shoeholder to ever find anything. At home we live with ever increasing piles until they topple - then we tidy up. lol.

I do try to clear away the scrap table top after every project though. It kinda clears my mind, too. I don't scrap chronologically any more - only by projects. Otherwise for me, it seems like an unscaleable mountain of things to scrap that are only marginally interesting.


Sleep well, all!

[DutchsMommy]

Hey Pat - then you must hear "Meeska, Miska, Mooska..........Mickey Mouse!" all the time - DS likes the Clubhouse too - but we only get it on the computer up here.

CONGRATS to everybody on reaching 5000 - and a week BEFORE the cruise no less. :thumbsup2

[DutchsMommy]

Linda - we are leaving on your Turkey-day...next Thursday (23rd) and are staying at the Residence Inn for 2 nights.

So..........I have to tell you all that pre-cruise hysteria is in full gear. I went out on Wednesday and bought a few things, including a fancy button to sew onto the shawl/shrug thing I got at Walmart that past weekend. I like the shawl, and it was cheap, but the botton is ugly. Anyway, so I am in my 'cruise' room today putting a few things together and I decide to bring up the button to sew on the shawl tomorrow. I go to lookfor the shawl and can't find it anywhere. Then I start to think that I can't remember seeing it in the house. I check the trunk of the car - no shawl. So....I'm having a senior moment and decide to check the receipt from Walmart. Well...lo and behold....there is no shawl on the bill. I FORGOT TO BUY THE DARN THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crazy: :crazy: I guess in my rush to get the heck out of that crazy store I didn't grab it on the way out after trying on some other stuff. Well, at least I didn't lose it in the house somewhere! So, I am heading back to the big W tomorrow to pick one up (they better still have one in my size!!!!!! :rolleyes: ).

I officially cancelled our Doubloon excursion with DCL and independantly booked the Altantis Submarine on St Thomas for DH and DS. They just didn't seem too keen on the snorkelling and really wanted to check out the sub. That also leaves me a few hours to assault the stores on St Thomas. We are heading to the Lotterie Farm on St Maarten on our own too - so fingers crossed all goes OK.

I have decided to keep the couples massage. I have been stressing about the $$ for it, but we really need something nice with each other and we did get the $200 re-booking bonus so I figure we'll put it towards the couples Villa cost.

DH (finally) tried on his semi-formal outfit and determined that the shoes he was going to wear are missing (we seem to have a theme going in this house LOL). Anyway, after much thinking we remembered he gave them to a friend of his as they were too small on him. So now he needs new shoes (lord gove me strength ;) ).

DH also wanted to let the Dreamboats know that he does a mean rendition of 'Sweet Transvestite' from The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. I am doubtful Disney has that particular song, but DH is usually pretty willing to make an *** of himself so I think you can count him in for karaoke.

Can't remember if I said I got the pillow cases for DS etc. today? Anyway, found a place in the mall that embroiders, so will check that out tomorrow.

Better head off now - talk to ya'all (this that right?) tomorrow....Git R Done pirate:

so whats our next goal.....an additional 500??? I think we can do it.....

Hello To All

Only two weeks to go and we finally were able to sign me up and let me post. I am Denises sister Marge and the proud sister in law of Dream Boat Wally. I have been reading most of all the posting everyone has sent and am so excited to meet everyone. I keep telling my DD and DGK we are going to have a super and fun time on this cruise. We went on Disney Cruise in October 2003 with my other DD and son in law and two DGk and that was the begining of my Disney Cruise adiction.
Today my DD and DGK were over preparing Disney Mickey chips from Home Depot for all our doors, plus we put candy bags together for the shows. I also helped the DGK put together their choices of outfits they are taking and suggestions what to take, needless to say they are so excited. My DGD stated she will not sleep the day before we leave which will be Friday the 24th they are all sleeping at my house so we will go to the airport together, by the way we are being picked up at 4:30 am our plane takes off at Midway Airport at 7:25 am will arrive in Orlando at 11:20 am. Once we pick up our rented viecheal we are driving to Sea World to start our fun filled vacation. We will meet up Denise and Wally at our Hotel and we will be :dance3: for Saturday to arrive and begin the fun :cool1:. I will post again tomarrow :wave:

Marge

Hi Marge, glad to meet ya...
We ahve 2 things in common 1. we were on a disney cruise in October 2003 too, the Halloween one. And second we will be at Sea World on Friday also, I will have to look for you.

Sarh tell DH that I know that song and can do a mean time warp :lmao:
Off to bed now

[jd99]

Jeff - Stacey is NOT shy at all. She is very outgoing and a take charge kind of gal. I'm sure she and Elizabeth will get along just fine. I'm going to see Stacey in the a.m. and I'll tell her I found her a friend for the cruise! She'll be very happy about that. That should put me on the favorite grandma list! Does Elizabeth use the computer? If so, maybe I can get Stacey to e mail her and they can get to "meet" one another before hand.
Going to watch amazing race...forgot it was on!
Pat :wave:

Pat- that'd be great. just have her send a PM through here and I'll get Elizabeth to answer.

[J&C's Mom]

Yeah, we're getting close to 5000... and to think we were getting excited over three thousand? this is half of one hundred thousand! :thumbsup2

Ummmm Son...don't you mean half of ten thousand??? :crazy:

Mom :thumbsup2

[BelievesinFairies]

Hello fellow cruisemates! I see you have all been busy posting! Congrats on the 5000 posts! :banana: You guys are good!
Just wanted to pop in. :wave:
As if it isn't bad enough in its own right, I found out why it is never good to bring a 5 year old bathing suit shopping with you....imagine being half naked in a dressing room with paper thin walls , and your own daughter announces "Mom, that bathing suit would look good on you if you lost weight." :eek: Anyway...it's done. I have a bathing suit...not the one that sparked the comment....but a fairly decent one, I hope. Packing has officially begun.
Gotta work tomorrow...so night all! princess:

[Michelle2]

Michelle, anchorage is not a town. It means that the Magic will be anchored in the bay, and not at one of the docks. We will have to tender in to the island. I am pretty confident that we will be tendering into Charlotte Amalie, which is the main shopping are in St. Thomas.

My DH researched into this after I asked, and we are glad that we will be there at the main port, tendering or not. Thanks so much for answering my question. You'd have thought I have never been there before. :rotfl:

if anyone is staying in wdw the night before and wants to share a rental pm me!

[LindaBabe]

Lauri, You had quite a day yesterday, there girl! Try not to work yourself to a frazzle before we go, k? And please don't cry over Palo being full. You'll most likely be able to get it on the ship.

Hi Marge - welcome aboard - I see your loving relatives named you, lol - more nanas.

Sarah, forgetting to buy the shawl - that is SO me - I don't need anyone to drive me crazy - I can do it for myself!

Ok. Back to bed for the second half of the night.

[TIGGER41681]

Good Morning All,
:cheer2: :cheer2: party: Great Job on reaching 5000 before the cruise!! We did it :cheer2: :cheer2: !! DH and I have been up since 3 am because DS decided not to sleep!! He was ready to play at 3am :sad2: :sad2: !! Today my friend is coming over with the twins for lunch. I got all excited for the cruise because I packed up my suitcase :woohoo: :woohoo: !!! We are going to be a sight in the airport!! 4 suitcases, carry-on bag, diaper bag and a stroller :crazy: :crazy: !! Well off to make bottles and get DS's cereal ready for later!! Talk to you all later :wave: :wave: :wave: !!




Pat: No I did not think you were being a smart mouth at all. Everybody told us don't go crazy on gifts for Drew. Drew watches the Mickey Mouse Club and Me and Dh go around singing that silly song "Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot diggity Dog"!!!!

[mom x4,grandma x4]

:welcome: Marge,
It's great you could join us!!! This is the most exciting time because we are so close and since we have made it past the 5000 post you wont have to worry about me bringing out the whip!! :lmao:

Lauri,
Dont worry about Palos. When you first board the ship you will be able to go to one of the clubs( they will give you a paper at checking telling you where and when) and make a reservation for Palos.
They only allow a certain amounts of reservations on line. The rest are for people to make in person. That way people who dont have computers still have a fair chance to make a reservation too. Just go there ASAP!!!


I think we will easily make another 500 posts before the cruise.

We are almost down to single digits :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Kathy :wave:

[LindaBabe]

I AM down to single digits before vacation :) 4 workdays counting today! party:

[LindaBabe]

oops duplicate :badpc:

[feenie]

WOW!! You all were super busy posting this weekend. It took me almost a half hour to catch up. My stupid computer at home is still broken...

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was super busy. Saturday we had a baby shower for my sister in law!! In too more months I will be an Auntie!

Just think... The Magic will only sail ONE more time until it sails with us on board!!!! :cool1: :cool1: :banana: :banana:

No cruise doc's here yet. :sad2: Hopefully today!

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[U2Pixies]

Sarah - do you have a VCR? If so, I'll tape the Mickey Mouse Club House for you. It comes on each morning here. I could get a couple of shows taped before we leave. Let me know. I'm glad you don't have the pox at your house! Still haven't heard of anyone down this way with them.

Lynn - I reread my post and thought that maybe I sounded a bit bossy! Mothers tend to be that way sometimes! Just wanted to let you know that I didn't mean a thing by it. Glad you didn't take it that way now I'll be able to hold Drew! :goodvibes

Linda - are you the one staying at the Wilderness Lodge? Don't forget your scrapbook. I'd love to see it.

Have a good morning. My little babies will be here soon!
Pat :wave:

[TIGGER41681]

Well yet see if we great our cruise docs today :rolleyes: !!!

Pat: Drew will be waiting for you to hold him!!! I wait to hold and meet Laura!! We can switch!!

My friend asked me to do her a favor and watch the twins for an hour or two while she ran errands. I think this is going to be the best birth control!! 3 kids six month and under :crazy: :crazy: !! Well let me get ready for my day!! Talk to you later!!

[TIGGER41681]

[disneynana08]

Goodmorning

Just getting ready for work so just a short line, will be back tonight.

Wendy: How about that we were on the October 10th cruise, It would be nice if we would run into at Sea World I will let you know what to look for as far as our dress code goes :confused3.

Kathy: We have a lot in common also you know the Na Na thing.

Talk to you all later. :sunny:

Good morning, Banana Heads :banana: :banana: :banana:

:welcome: MARGE! So ... um ... what's it like to have DBWally as a brother-in-law? :rotfl2:

DH also wanted to let the Dreamboats know that he does a mean rendition of 'Sweet Transvestite' from The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. I am doubtful Disney has that particular song, but DH is usually pretty willing to make an *** of himself so I think you can count him in for karaoke.
Sarah ... does Stony do it in costume? :rotfl2:

Sarh tell DH that I know that song and can do a mean time warp :lmao:
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again! :lmao:

I added one more thing to my To Do list ... write checks for all the bills that are due 12/1 and have my sister-in-law mail them for me. *sign* sometimes life just doesn't take a vacation!

[pgfour]

Good morning Nanas! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

:welcome: Marge! We're also from Illinois, but we're flying out of O'Hare Friday a.m. As long as there isn't a traffic jam on I-90 by Woodfield, we should be o.k. :thumbsup2 We looked at flying out of Milwaukee, but there aren't as many alternative flights in case we get some S*** on Thanksgiving.

Shell - the recipe sounds great! I should try that for one of these upcoming days when I don't want to cook.

:cheer2: :cheer2: On the 5000 posts! Sorry I wasn't there to witness it. Let's see, what was I doing? Oh, yeah -- cleaning the basement!!! :woohoo:

I'm soooooo excited! I get a hug from DBW!! :love: :love: I knew all that useless trivia would come in handy some day! (I do stand corrected, though -- I believe ALL the t-birds say that line. . .maybe not Davey (the liitle guy).)

Perhaps we ladies need to sing "Cool Rider" :moped: or "Leader of the Pack" :moped: as a tribute to DBW! :love:

Speaking of singing -- a) where's Tiara Bob??? Getting fitted for his headwear?? I thought he'd have a comment about the name of their group -- or did I miss it?, and b) I haven't volunteered DH for any karaoke yet! Maybe the two Bills would like to sing some Alice in Chains tunes to the delight (or horror) of us females! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Well -- going to run and then get ready for work. Think I'll take off (work from home) at least two days this week so I can be more productive.

Wendy -- good job on the power shopping! Sorry I didn't get my list to you in time! :rotfl2:

Sarah -- I know what you mean about thinking you bought something only to discover (after tearing the house apart)that wasn't the case. Good luck in your search for the same or similar thing!!

Talk to you later! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Cheri

P.S. :bday:

[TChrist05]

You guys have me very jealous....4 days left to work...spending time a WDW before the cruise....tomorrow is my last day off from work before the cruise...which means I will have to use the energy of "in such and such" days I will be on the Magic......working in a supermarket before Thanksgiving is no fun......anyway....good morning to all.....

What are the exact meetings on the first day of the cruise....I guess I could go back and re-read the 5000+ posts...Good Job!

Have a good day and will check back tonight!

Woo, Its like one mind :rotfl2:
Yeah, one mind total between the two of you! :lmao:

[TiggerKing]

I know I've probably gone over my quota..but....How the heck do you folks do door signs? :confused3 . My wife bought this color on magnetic paper at Michaels and the kids are coloring their own door signs... but if i want to do something from the computer i surely can't put the paper through the printer since it is like an inch thick (ok so I'm exaggerating). Did she buy the wrong stuff? Is there no such thing as magnetic paper that will fit through computer? Do you rip off the paper part and then restick it on the magnet? HELP!!!!
Jeff:

Magnetic paper is available at Wal-Mart and office supply stores. it is just a little bit thicker than cardstock and designed to work with inkjet printers. :thumbsup2

[Dixielady908]

:wave: Morning all: Well I'm hoping that I will get a lot of things accomplished today......ok at least one thing accomplished, thats getting my pee stained carpeting clean....complaiments of mr louie.....

I will be back later, its getting late and I need to get my butt in gear.....

Oh Cheri........singing Cool Rider sounds like a really fun idea...however, I am the very first person to admit that I cant sing worth a darn....I dont want to punish or hurt anyone elses ear's by me singing....so I think I will pass...but you ladies go for it....I'll be on the sidelines :cheer2: for you...... :)

Okay You :love: Dreamgirls :listen: I will get up and sing, but due to the fact :moped: I ride, I have a rep to protect, I will sing with Bob, and anybody else that will not don a tiara. We may be called the" DREAMBOATS". Shoot, I should of thought of this earlier, and had our T-shirts made up. Oh well hindsite is 20/20. Okay there is a statement that I made in this little post that was in a movie. The lucky lady that gets the right answer, will get a hug from me on the day we board ship. DREAM BOAT WALLY
Tell Wally that I ride as well, and have been riding for over 20 years. If I can embarass myself, he can suffer right along with me! :moped:

Is it just me, or does it seem to anyone else that Wally is starting to take this "dreamboat" stuff seriously? He is starting to sound a little bit like a gigolo! :lmao:

So how many times have you gotten dressed up and gone to see it on the big screen??? :rotfl: I guess you won't readily admit that, will you? :rotfl2:

Actually, I only saw it on the big screen one time. But, it is one of those movies I think everyone shoudl experience. I didn't dress up, but many who were there did dress up. We did throw rice and toast, and there were some water pistols (you have to know the movie to know the reasons).

I do believe there was an anniversary DVD released, but I haven't heard anything about a sequel. Rocky Horror is one of those cult movies that wouldn't sequel very well. It has a certain attraction to it, but don't try and over-capitalize on it!

I've only seen it at the theater once myself. We were in college and saw it in Omaha. We were probably about the only ones NOT dressed up! One guy with us was from a tiny town in western Nebraska -- talk about culture shock! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: I don't know what was funnier -- the audience participation or the look on this poor guy's face! :lmao:

I'd never heard of the sequel either. I think it was a more futuristic setting. I guess the hard-core RHPS cultists would know about it. . . :confused3

If there are any "So You Think You Can Dance" fans out there, I hope you'll indulge me. This is a link to a video on YouTube from an Intensive that my son was in this summer. He took classes with Nick Lazzarini, Melody, Artem, Jamile .......He's the little tiny one in the video (kind of hard to see him -- but he's wearing an orange vest in the middle of the video and is looking into a camera.

Anyway, just a proud mom moment.

I hope you enjoy!

No need to read all those posts again, I will come to your rescue,
our family meet is the first day at 2:45 in the Promenade lounge.
Those who want to are invited to bring a Christmas gift that is an ornament or regional gift, $10 limit. One gift per family. We are drawing names to see who gets which ones.

Also at 1:01 some of the adults are meeting at signals for a drink to kick off the cruise.

That should cover it for you. If not just ask.

Hi everyone,
11 days and counting. I can't believe it is almost here. We got our docs the end of last week. Did anyone else get theirs. I was so excited when they came UPS. We also started to pack. My 3 DD's are all packed and ready to go. I just need to pick up a few more things. I also need to get my haircut.

Hope everyone has a great day

Good Morning all,

Does anyone else feel like the world is running at about 90mph and they are puttering along at 25mph?

Here is what I still have left to do......
PACK (that mean the whole ball of wax, tuxes, dresses, clothing in general, along with all the necessaries that Women must pack)
Get DS some new dress pants
Get Passports out of Bank Box
Take Piggy Bank to bank and get money out of piggy bank
Work on Album for our angel
Get copy of ressie to Mother and ex-husband
Tell the credit cards im leaving the country
Get money from bank
Charge all the various camera, pda's, computer that we are taking with us
Get my DS some new water shoes (he has to quit growing)
Get long distance cards for telephone calls in St Marteen & St Thomas
Get CHEESE WIZ for snorkeling

Pray for me. This is probably half the things I really must do within the next 11 days. AAAGGGGGHHHH.

Anyone else feel like this?

Happy Monday.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Hi Lucinda,
I think with your post we have 4 families that have got their docs so far.

I'm sure the others will get their very soon,

If there are any "So You Think You Can Dance" fans out there, I hope you'll indulge me. This is a link to a video on YouTube from an Intensive that my son was in this summer. He took classes with Nick Lazzarini, Melody, Artem, Jamile .......He's the little tiny one in the video (kind of hard to see him -- but he's wearing an orange vest in the middle of the video and is looking into a camera.

Anyway, just a proud mom moment.

I hope you enjoy!

That was really neat Lauri. How old is your son? Was he in dance classes like those girls were doing? They seemed really good! If he is at that level I will keep an eye on him for future TV appearances! :thumbsup2

[TiggerKing]

Uh....Maverick? As I recall, Goose dies pretty early in that movie. Besides, I sing like old people kiss...slow and sloppy. I'll make you a deal...if you can find me on Kareoke night.....nahhhhh....even if you do, I DONT sing! (oh yeah...and my dancings pretty horrible too so thats limited to the minimum that Woo will let me get away with...
I do buffets well, I relax good....I'm even good at hanging around on deck 10 and looking inconspicuos....those activities are right up my alley.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Yes, but if you will ALSO recall from the movie, Goose was the one banging a song out on the piano for his woman. And he couldn't sing, PERIOD!! Don't leave me hanging buddy! Don't abandon me now!

[TiggerKing]

Cheese Whiz??? :confused3
Apparently the fish are quite attracted to cheez whiz when snorkeling. They tend to get up close and personal with you when you let out a little cheese under water! :lmao:

[favoriteslave]

Im contributing to the taming of wild life. We found out that last year some of the fish on Castaway Cay loved Cheeze Wizz. We got swamped by a quite a few fish. It was fun. I thought I would try it elsewhere, unless prohibited.

:sad2: clearly hadta be a guy dat said dat. :sad2:

Pat, of course I'll bring one - 7 day western? It's a little flakey scrapping, or you can have 4 day, which looks better but the journey's not as interesting. I'm also going to bring you a sneaky trick for making albums easy. We need a scrapbooking smile.

3.5 workdays left!

He's 7 1/2, the next youngest kid there was 13 so he was clearly in over his head. I was proud of him, though, he can really keep up with the big dogs.

He'll be doing the Family Talent Show on the ship. He's going to freestyle a tap/hip hop routine. I'm his mom, but I still think he's pretty darn talented.

Plus if we get it on film....we have something to hang over their heads when we want something..... :rotfl: I will say though, instead of "you lost that lovin feeling" they should sing something more upbeat, so we really dont hear how much they CANT carry a tune.... :rotfl2:

Well my carpeting is done....the dogs are lying upstairs wondering why they cant come down into the family room... :confused3 poor babies....and if louie pees one more time in the house, I may have to take him out back and shoot um..... :teeth: Just kidding......he's kinda grown on me.....

We kinda sorta got our docs today -- Our TA called and said she had them and she'll bring everything to our office tomorrow. She said she did a double-take because there wasn't much in there due to the on-line check-in. Now I just have to make sure I get the on-line stuff with the other docs so all is in one place.

Not much else going on here on this gray, dreary, drizzly Monday.

Talk with you later!

Hi all Spent most of my day visiting my friend and her new baby. I did not get any packing done. I must get busy!!!

Our TA called and our DOCS are in :cool1: :cool1: I will pick them up tomorrow. Then I will offically do the DOC dance :cool1: :cool1:

Kelly
Oh no!

I had my DD try on her dresses and shoes yesterday because I was scared of the same thing. She's only 5, but some of the jeans I bought in September are already too short! She could wear those pants in Washington state and she'd fit right in! :rolleyes1

I'm tempted to buy her suspenders - or suggest she become a plumber!!! If I buy pants that are long enough, they're way too big in the waist (even the ones with the adjustable waistbands).

Thanks goodness we're cruising to the Caribbean and not Alaska!

Good luck! As if you didn't have enough to take care of! Hopefully you can find some "summer" items for her.

Hi all. Today is the day to be on a cruise, on a day like today in Illinois, the weather is gloomy. Bob, I will be proper and not put your "t" word in front of your name, especially when you will be singing with me. :cool1: I DO have a rep to protect. :) If you want ladies, I will bring along my riding gear as a prop, when you sing "Cool Rider". Have a nice evening to all. See you soon :love: with hugs. Wally

Good Evening All :banana: :banana: :banana: ,

*Go to Post Office and Stop Mail
*Pay Bills that are due the 1st of the Month
This list keeps getting longer and longer.......

[LindaBabe]

Doing the document dance here! Very thin parcel though - 3 cards of stuff that didn't apply because we got our own airfare, 1 page of advertising for stateroom decor, one page of letter, some ittybitty Bahamas immigration forms, and some strips of luggage tags.

JanDave, if you did not get a long pm from me, please pm me your phone number and email. I just can't type that much again. (insert pounding on the computer smilie here)

[TiggerKing]

Trust me, I speak the truth, you really don't want Bob to sing lead. :eek:
If she dislikes my singing so much, maybe I will just show up at Karaoke by myself! :(

You know you're obsessed with your upcoming Disney cruise when:

You are giddy about installing various Disney fonts onto your computer so you can finally throw together some door signs! :cheer2:

Tonight Bill asked me what I was going to do with all my time after the cruise is over. :confused3 Start marketing so we can earn enough money for another cruise??? :rolleyes1

We also received some DVC info in the mail at work today (We have clients who are members and signed us up to receive the mailings.) I haven't even watched the DVD yet. . . :sad2:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- I need a new obsession like I need a hole in the head! :crazy:

Good Evening Nana Heads!!!!

Wow -- you were all busy while I was in Cleveland and Morgantown. I've only read about half the posts. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.

The Wiggles were great -- or as my 2.5 DGS said, "Nana, they're cool".

Yeah -- We received our cruise docs. I haven't looked at them yet. Hope everything is there.

Tonya - what do you do at the law firm? I have a paralegal degree, but work as a secretary with way too much work and responsibility! I love my job and my two bosses. Our office is casual dress. My prior job was in the legal department of an insurance company and we were able to wear jeans, shorts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. I hated giving up that perk, but my current job was beckoning me.

Jeff - your girls are so cute! They must look like your wife, right???!!! ;)
Sorry about my assumption that Pitt was playing WVU last weekend. I had such a difficult time finding a hotel room, that I assumed the Pitt fans were invading Morgantown.

Cheri -- quit having nightmares, especially about me!!! However, all you Nana Heads are invited to our "mini mansion". We'll have to form a line outside both bathrooms each morning you're visiting us.

Linda -- looking forward to your PMing me about MAW kid(s) on our cruise. Hope we're not doing a creative type gift as I am creatively challenged.

Getting my hair cut and color tomorrow night. One more item to take off my to-do list.

Dave and I are staying home this weekend to catch up with our packing, etc.

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

Jan

[dreamboatwally]

Just trying out my signature

[JanDave]

Hi Linda:

Just pm'd you with email address and phone number. Dave is awake until 1am tonight. Feel free to call.

DreamBoatWally and his crooners:

When/where is the karaoke party? There is no way in h__l you will get Dave to sing. He did karaoke one time, but he was much younger and drunk! Last year on the Magic, I was pulled from the audience to participate in the entertainment at the CMs talent show. I was hopping on one leg while the ship was going through 14 foot waves in Diversions which is in the front of the ship. Dave was sliding down in his seat hoping I wouldn't breat a leg!

Jan

[JanDave]

One more thing...

How could I have not remembered earlier to talk about our ladies day/night out? Sounds like we'll have quite a group. Any suggestions as to where/when? Of course, with all the activities on board, we may not find a time when we're all free to get together. Anyway, knowing how terrific us ladies are at multi-tasking, I have no doubt we will do our best to all get together.

Where - My suggestion is to meet indoors -- perhaps at the Promenade Lounge because it would easily accommodate us and if we have rain/wind, etc., we won't have to replan our gathering. I'm thinking that we will have to work around the timing of the art auction, which last year was in the lounge. Kathy, is the art auction still being held there?

Day/Time - What about Monday? Perhaps late morning unless anyone has Palo brunch plans or a meet and greet is scheduled late morning. I'll leave the logistics of getting together up to everyone else.

Another brainstorm -- what about getting together for lunch and meet at Lumieres or Animators?

Ok. I'm shutting down my multi-tasking brain and hoping to get some needed sleep.

Jan

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Jan,
in August it was held in the atrium.
But most of the trivia games were held in the promenade each day. But I'm sure there will be some free time in there sometime, just have to check the navigator each day.

Ok, who is in charge of letting us all know which Karoake our Dreamboats are gonna be performing at. I think one of the wives of a performer because they are the only ones who will know when. Maybe you could have our room numbers and call and leave a message on the phone about it, plus spread the news by word of mouth as we see each other.

This is a once in a life time thing and I dont want to miss it.
Some people will be heading our early for their vacations so we need to know how this is going to work so nobody will feel left out.

Please somebody make a decision and let us know.
we can all post room numbers for who ever needs it if you want to call.
Just let us know,

well off to bed,
kathy :wave:

[LindaBabe]

So now, you're saying we talk too much, Kathy???? It's as I said before - ain't NO pleasing some people (shakes head sadly)

Tonight, I finished translating Tonya's teeshirt into a 'fridgie' for our doors. I'm so confused now, I don't know WHAT I have left to do!

I'm going to bed. Maybe I can stay out of trouble there.

Lorna :wave:

Lorna, that would be me. I called DCL again today and got a much more helpful CM. She advised this is a recurring problem they are working on. I managed to get DS's ID etc. keyed in but DH and mine wouldn't go (kept getting red error message). The CM was able to enter my info on her computer (although it still doesn't show up online) and I just printed the docs 'as is' to sign.

My doc pkg was also WAY smaller than last time because everything was done online. Pretty much the only thing left from it is the Bahamian immigration forms and the luggage tags.


Anyway - gotta head in to bed. Sweet-non-cruise-nightmare dreams everybody!

[YippySkippy]

:banana: TONYA!! TONYA!!

We got our shirts today and I LOVE THEM!!! Make that WE love them, my son put his on immediately, I had to trick him into taking pre-inevitable spillage.

It's coming together :banana:

Talk to y'all tomorrow!

Lauri

[pgfour]

Here's my two-cents' worth (might not even be worth that much):

As far as karaoke night -- we may have to play that by ear (no pun intended :listen: ) to know exactly where & when -- how 'bout if everyone takes a look at the latest DIS-Group spread sheet that Shell has put out and we make sure the correct cabin number is on there. This way we can have an on-board phone tree in case we don't run into each to other during the day. Or -- someone can just pick the night and we'll be there.

Ladies' night/day: Jan, pick a day & time (one of the sea days could be good) and whoever can or wants to be there should show up. If any of you know now that you have specific plans (Palo / spa, etc.) please let Jan the Planner know.

Another thought could be attending one of the drink sampling sessions.

Like I said, just a thought. . . :confused3

It's probably going to be tough to get everyone together at a time that works perfectly, so we'll have to do the best we can! :thumbsup2

[dkmjgal]

Kelly My daughter is 10. I know she would love to meet your daughter. MY DD name is Jordyn. She is getting picky about what she is wearing. I did find here a nice formal dress and she loves it. :thumbsup2

Talk to you later.
Lorna :wave:

Lorna- I will definitely tell Megan about Jordyn. She is a very friendly kid and will like knowing that someone her age is with our group. I have to say I'm pretty lucky as far as picking out clothes for her...she just turned 11 a couple of weeks ago and she's still pretty happy most of the time with whatever I pick out for her :banana: I consider myself pretty lucky in that regard. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to hunt down a dress for her while shopping on my own...a lot easier than trying to coordinate shopping time around her dance schedule and DS's karate and basketball schedule.

Hello Nana Heads....

TONYA...shirts arrived today.....they are great....my wife is in Disney World with my daughter doing the Christmas Party tonight....she did not know about the shirts and when I spoke with her I described them to her....she thinks there great and has not even seen them yet....the check is being mailed in the morning....thank you so much for taking care of the shirts for us....

One day closer and one day less to work before the cruise.....and I have a suggestion for what to do after the cruise....book another one on the ship....and then we start this all over again....

We have already booked next years 7 day....leaving on December 1st....since my 55th birthday is on December 2, 2007....must celebrate it on the ship....will be celebrating 54 on the day we leave :furious: but....the object is to continue to have birthdays....and as long as I am breathing I will celebrate them on the Magic....

Have a great night....speak with all tomorrow....and by the way....I have always wanted to do the karaoke thing...just could never get up the guts....we see this time......

I'm so glad that everyone got their shirts and they liked them.

Jan I'm the girl friday at work. Actually i'm the only secretary for two attorneys. I love them dearly, have worked for them for almost 11 years. I could be grandfathered in as a paralegal, but it wouldn't garner me anymore money that I make now. Both of my boys (the bosses) are rotten, I do everything but pick up dry cleaning and make appointments. Neither one of them are married and so I'm the only woman in their lives. (he he) They allow me to take my child to school rather than to before school care and I get to go to most all of the school parties. They were both @ the hospital right after DS was born and have always been involved in his life. When he was little he would bring remote controlled cars into the office and they would end up playing with him rather than working. That is kind of office that you want.

Hope everyone is having a great night. I've got some scrapbooking to work on.

Linda any news from our Angel's mom?

[JanDave]

Good Morning Nanas!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Kathy: Are you awake yet? I woke up at 3:15. Too many to-do things on my mind.

Ladies Get Together: Let me know what you think:

Where: Cove Cafe, Deck 9, by the adult pool and Signals.

When: Monday morning at 11 am

We can always plan a 2nd meet on Thursday, the next sea day.


Tonya: I've been a legal secretary for 20+ years. My degree was not intended to "move up" in the field, just something I wanted to accomplish and my employer paid the tuition. Besides, the money is better as a secretary than a paralegal in my area of the state. One of my bosses goes on fishing trips with Dave. Last year's trip was great -- no husband and minus one boss for a week!

I still have to catch up on the last 15 pages of posts.

Good Morning, All

I'll bring the scrapbook pat wanted to see, and the 'plan' for those who want to scrap but can't get started.

No news from angels mom, but we've got 'er covered!

I can't wait!!!

[QUOTE=LindaBabe]:sad2: clearly hadta be a guy dat said dat. :sad2:

Pat, of course I'll bring one - 7 day western? It's a little flakey scrapping, or you can have 4 day, which looks better but the journey's not as interesting. I'm also going to bring you a sneaky trick for making albums easy. We need a scrapbooking smile.

Bring which ever one is easier for you to pack. :thumbsup2 thanks for doing this. Maybe I'll get inspired and produce the blue ribbon scrapbook!
Oh, by the way, my dh read where I wrote I wasn't creative and he told me that I was VERY creative. I create all kinds of things in my mind! Gee, wonder what he means by that :rotfl2:
See you soon.

Good Morning Everyone!

Starting to finally check things off my list....I sewed a button on DS's shirt at 7:15 this morning :cool1: If you knew me you would know that's HUGE in this house :rotfl:

Pat - I think the 11:00am meet sounds good. Let me double check the Navigators and talk to DH...but I'm pretty sure I will be there.

I will be shopping today for a dress for DD...I still can't believe her formal dress doesn't fit. The good news is I found a suit for DS yesterday at Sear's on clearance for $15 bucks...and the jacket will definitely double as a sport coat :banana:

I hope everyone has a terrific day!

[TiggerKing]

Okay, will one you more knowledgeable persons post the nights for the Karaoke? Then, from there, we can make a decision. Thanks!

Hope everyone is having a great day! Talk to you more soon!

[TiggerKing]

Okay folks, EARLY on I had made mention that I would like to do a mosaic that uses our pictures from the cruise. So, here are a couple of options:

1) For those who want to transfer their pictures off of their memory cards, I will have my laptop with me on the cruise. If your camera has a USB port that will allow it to connect directly to the computer, I will be more than willing to use my computer to download your pictures and copy them to a CD for you. I could then keep those pictures you authorize to use in the mosaic, and save you the Shutters Fee. Now, keep in mind, I am not going to sit in my room and wait for folks, but I will be more than happy to set up "appointments" to do this for you.

2) If you are interested in providing your pictures for the photo mosaic, you can send me a CD of the pictures you want to include after the cruise is over. If you choose to do this, PM me and I will be more than happy to provide my contact information.

My goodness ... a chatty bunch, indeed! :hyper2: If it's OK with everyone, I'll do a summary of meets on the next e-mail I send out with the updated Cruisemate List (hopefully today).

JAN: 11 a.m. on Monday sounds good. I just checked the Sept Navigator and it shows that there are 2 family events going on then: Bingo and "Think You Know Your Family?", no adult special events then, and of course lots of kids stuff. So should be a perfect time. :thumbsup2

TIARA BOB AND THE DREAMBOATS: Looks like "Krazy karaoke" is on Tuesday night (would that be adults only?), and family karaoke is Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Friday nights. So now youze guyz just have to pick a night!

Not much going on so far this morning. Going to run and then get ready for work. (Guess I'll take off tomorrow and either Thurs or Fri.) We'll get our docs delivered to us today at work, so I plan to wear my dancing shoes to the office.

Speaking of "The Office," have you fans been watching lately? :happytv: The :drinking1 episode was pretty funny! Shell -- for some reason, I thought of you! :rotfl: :rotfl: :confused3 This week should be good as Jim & Pam are "reunited" :love2: and the 2 offices combine :love1: .

If either of the Martini tastings line up with our Flounders time, DW and I will be hitting it. WE also really want to do the wine tasting but again it has to line up with Flounders times...

[jd99]

So it's been a while since we went through this list/plan. Who all is going on the Sunny Liston tour in St. Thomas? More specifically who else has the 10 a.m. pick up time? That's what we are scheduled for.

Count me in on the "booze" tastings, too! Going on DCL cruise #7 and haven't attended a booze tasting. :woohoo: About 2 DCL cruises ago, Dave and I decided to try new activities on board. He promises to go to Bingo once this cruise.

Jan

[disneediva]

Shell, I think we will be in St thomas on Wednesday not Thursday, but Monday still is good it leaves Thursday open for a repeat tasting :lmao:

430 Martini taste
Mon-1100 ladies meet
430 tequila taste
Tues- open
Wednes- 1000 Sonny Tour
700 Palo dinner
Thurs open
Fri 130 banana boats
Saturday- I DON:T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT

[favoriteslave]

ANYONE that wants to take mercy on this poor person who didn't get PALO ressies for lunch or brunch and add me to their table. I promise I won't misbehave.

[dkmjgal]

BOB - I love the photo CD idea. I will talk to Don and I'll have him put that on his list - it's about time he had a list too!

BOOZE TASTING - I'm thinking Don and I will want to participate too!

LISA - My DH just said the other day...I guess we won't be sleeping much this cruise!!! :Pinkbounc

LADIES - so just how ornate are these Tiaras??? I'm thinking I may need to upgrade mine :wizard:

TONYA - you'll get PALO ressies....just be prepared to RUN once you board the ship. Try to find out ahead of time where they are doing ressies...I think last year it was at Rockin' Bar?? - Kathy - do you know? We did not have a problem getting a reservation. Just know ahead of time when you want to go and don't want to go and it will be easier.

Kelly

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Kelly, yes our last crusie in August it was at rock n bar d and it was open as soon as you started boarding, so go there immediately upon boarding for the best chance to get a ressie.

Kathy :wave:

[PuppyMommy]

Kelly, my tiara isn't ornate at all, its actually pretty small. I received it when my brothers and I were involved in little league football. I just removed the rhinestones and replaced them with faux pearls.

[disneediva]

Tonya, we have to add my mom to our brunch ressie so we can add you too if you want.
We are doing dinner Wednesday and have no problem with added guests so we can add you in Let me know


Alright Kelley welcome to the booze bunch :banana: :banana:

Wendy

[woogal]

Kelly ... my tiara is HUGE! I told everyone a few (lots of) pages back that I wouldn't do it unless I could get a biggun :lmao: . Well, I found it ... on loan from a friend. In fact, I'm getting it tomorrow night!

OH WENDY! You'd think with THE spreadsheet at hand, I'd have all this to memory a little better! Yes ... repeat tasting on Thursday :woohoo: . (I really need to start remembering how to drink. Tonya says she's a cheap date? I went from a pro in my 20s to the queen of lightweights in my ... um ... early 30s, like I am now :rolleyes1 )

[favoriteslave]

Wendy thanks for the offer, but I can't do dinner. DS made me promise to eat dinner with him every night.

[disneediva]

Tonya we are doing brunch Sunday at 11 we will be in line at Rocking D to try to add my mom if you want to meet us :goodvibes


Shell, I know the feeling in my 20's I could drink now well :rolleyes1
Do I need to proofread that WHOLE spreadsheet :rotfl2:

Wendy

[YippySkippy]

DWtS finale week -- who are you betting on? It'll probably be Mario...


Cheri

Cheri,

I'm betting on Mario, and I hope others will call in. That's my son's Dance Studio that they film at and Mario and Karina have been so sweet to my son. Mario has been very attentive to my DS and always high fives him whenever he sees him.

Yep, he's okay in my book. :cheer2: :cheer2:

Okay, I know some people are going to be leaving sooner than others, so I wanted to go ahead and post this now.

Tonya, Sarah (and families) and Lisa and I have discussed having dinner on Friday night. I think the time that worked for Tonya was 7:30, so we will plan on meeting at Grills near the port at 7:30 for dinner on Friday night.

Is anyone else that is staying in Cocoa Beach on Friday night interested in doing an early meet and joining us for dinner? If so, please let me know as soon as possible how many people will be with you. I don't know that we can get reservations, but I will try and be there a little early to get us a table. You can either post here, or PM me to let me know. I am sure it will be a real party:

Sarah what is the new mickey mouse head at the bottom of your signature? And where is the tequila tasting the iternary?

Hey,
I found someone who is sailing with us on the main forum and I invited her to join us. It is a couple with their 1 year old who will be one on the cruise. :goodvibes

They did a 4 day 2 years ago, she didnt post her name. :confused3
So if she shows up, you guys better behave, we dont want to scare them off right away!!! OK?? :dance3:

I fibbed and said how nice you all were, even Bob and Bill. :rolleyes1

so behave everyone,

I'm pretty sure that Bill definitely wants to do the tequila, so we'll be doing that. For martini's, probably Sunday, as we'll be in St. Thomas on Thursday.
My Bill will probably want to do the tequila shots also, so I'll pencil him in.

Probably better do the Sunday martini's so we can order them with confidence during the remainder of the cruise! :rotfl2:

Good Evening All :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Well went to a book fair and my school where I used to work before DS and then it was off to Mommy and Me. I am in for the Sun-4:30 Martini taste. Sour Apple Martini :drinking1 :drinking1 and a Chocolate Martini are really good that I would be in to taste them!! Is the Girls Meeting on?? Well I am going to heat up the Turkey dinner from Sunday. I Love leftovers. Went to the Post Office and held the mail while we were away. One thing checked on my list. Still have to get to Party City for DH's birthday on Sunday. I think I will go Thursday. Talk to you all later :wave: :wave: :wave: !!

I'm going to have to bring an actual calendar spreadsheet with me so I can track all of our :drinking1 engagements! :sad2: I wouldn't want to make the mistake of trying for Palo ressies during martini time! :rotfl2:

Bill actually said to me this morning, "Isn't 11:00 a little early to start drinking?" :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: But it'll be after noon somewhere. . . ::yes::

Other details:

Tiaras -- I have two small ones from high school (they're only 4 years old) :rotfl2: :rotfl2: . I'll probably just bring one of those. (Save that $$$ for more important things. . . :scratchin :drinking: )

Pirate Outfit -- Have done absolutley NOTHING here. I know some of you are getting totally decked out. :thumbsup2 How 'bout those who aren't dressing in full pirate regalia -- what are you wearing??? I know Bill won't be wearing a puffy shirt! :rotfl:

Gotta go! Talk Later! :chat:

[LindaBabe]

No pirate outfits here - I'll be wearing clothes, but exactly what? Haven't a clue.

Bob - for your mosaic, do you just want this cruise or any cruise? If any, I can burn you a cd.

No dinner at Grills for us, I'm afraid - we'll still be at the world, probably eating leftovers out of the villa kitchen. Our 'newbies' will be at Cirque so it can be a quiet evening of getting ready to sail!

[dkmjgal]

As far as Pirate Night....right now it looks like only DS will be decked out. He has a Captain Hook costume from last year so that's easy. As for the rest of us...well Don's words were "But I don't wanna be a Pirate"....Seinfeld fans anyone???? I bought some really cool Pirate tatoos and that's probably all me, Don and DD will be wearing.

On a VERY positive note.....I got a formal dress for DD today and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. It was VERY reasonably priced and the best part is...it fits!!!

Off to take DS to youth group and then running home to make dinner for the rest of us.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

I wear a pirate outfit, DH wear a pirate t-shirt and the bandana they give you at dinner.
Mine is a ladies with a skirt, wish it had pants but havnt found anything that will work for it so far, maybe before the cruise I may find some pants for it.
The breeze out on the deck makes it kind of dangerous to wear a skirt!!

I hope I can keep up with all the acticvities planned. Some one will just have to remind me about things :thumbsup2 I am planning on haniging out on Monday with all of the ladies. I will have to keep a special activities calendar to keep track of whats going on. Is there a wine tasting on this cruise?


Is Karaoke on Tuesday night?

Bob the mosaic sounds great. My Dh can be in charge of that.

My tiara will be the cheapest and cheesiest it's plastic :rotfl: I guess I will still wear it. I may buy another, but right now I am thinking I need to save all my $$$$ for the cruise.

I got some supplies for door signs finally. The girls and I will work on them this week. Also got the girls packed :banana: :banana:

For pirate night the girls will be dressed up. I got DH and I a black Tshirt and was going to try to paint(trace) a skull and cross bones on it. I don't know how it will turn out. DH and I will be wearing the bandannas they hand out too. Not going to crazy with the pirate thing. I am just running out of time

Hope you all have a good night.

Good Night :banana: :banana: :banana:
Going to Shower and watch DWTS
Go Emmitt!!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

[YippySkippy]

Okay, I'm a doofus for asking at this point, but what is up with the tiaras? Are the women (other than Wally) all wearing tiaras? Is one from the party store okay or do I have to do a "home invasion" on a beauty queen?

Also.....and frankly this is much more important. As much as I am impressed with Emmit....Mario MUST win, my son's Dance Studio is where he is filmed, and I have devotion, DEVOTION I tell YOU!! Mario be the MAN!

Okay, enough with the queeby Dance Mom Shtick.

I'll see you all tomorrow!

Not EVERywoman, but some are wearing Tiaras - Could be party store OR beautyqueen either way. www.glitterdiva.com or www.tiaratown.com will give you some ideas from the ridiculous to the sublime!

I've LOST MY LIST! OMG I can't find my list - how will I know what to do?!

Off to find it. . .

Thanks all for correcting me on my mathematical err. I didn't know what I was saying! :rotfl:

Kathy, I know you said you were watching M*A*S*H a little while back. I saw the ones today. It's a shame Colonel Potter lost his license. Rizzo is pretty funny to treat him as though he were scum and his commanding officer! :teeth:

I wear a billed cap and apony tail holder on deck, but sometimes the wind will blow my hat off even. Deck 9 isnt too bad, but deck 10 is really windy.

You'll soon find out about everyone else, look out for Bill and Bob, they are a couple of characters!!!! all in fun though.

Ok here is some useful info for ya.

OK things I still need to do
Mani/Pedi
finish packing
buy a few more xmas presents
give my sister keys to the house and car so she can feed the disney dog
get letter from DS friend so he can go on cruise


Mutt where are ya???? DBW, are you there??? Hey Sarah wheres that Canadian beefcake at??

[cmaelltt1]

Umm, for those of who have a million and ten things to do this week, how are supposed to keep up with all these posts? I thought I'd pass out when I logged on this morning. So I'm sure I missed quite a bit. I have so much to do today to get ready to go. We will be leaving 1 week from today. pirate: I just can't read them all.

I would love to come to the ladies meet. Please repost the time and day if someone can. I need to write things down somewhere. I was also planning to do the Martini tasting. I recently fell in love :love: with apple martinis and would like to try some more. :goodvibes

Here are my most recent questions:

Is it probably going to be warm enough to take the kids to the pool as soon as we board?

We can check 2 bags each and carry on 1 each? If we bring a cooler with waters and Mountain Dew, we need to carry it on?

Anyone else with 13/14 year old daughters who would like to email with my daughter a couple of times before we cruise? She decided she wants to stay with the teen group and I thought it would be nice if she kind of knew someone before we go. She does make friends pretty easily so I'm sure she will be fine.

Well I need to get the kids summer clothes out of storage and start figuring out what they can wear.

Queenie, welcome to our "unique" little family! Like a family, we are an interesting blend of personalities and talent, we have our black sheep (read Shell & Wendy), but we accept them just the same!

Hope everyone is having a great day. I am spending the week in the big city of West Point, GA. Just having fun staying in hotels again!

We are celebrating: our 35th anniversary, which was in Sept., my b'day, which is Nov.24, and Esther's b'day, which is Nov. 28. :goodvibes
Looking forward to meeting you as well as your family.

Just want to say good morning to you all. I don't think I'll be posting much. Not too much to say at this point. However, I will be peeking in every so often to see if the meets have changed.

Kathy: You have been fantastic! I appreciate all your help and input. I know when everyone meets you in person they will be impressed with both you and your outlook on life. Share your story with everyone! You people are going to look at her the same way I do! Appreciate Life! Don't sweat the small stuff. :thumbsup2 :wave:

Kelly: I hope your dd gets to feeling better. The "bug" lasted about a week around here! It wasn't pleasant. I guess if anyone has to get sick it should be this week and this week only!

Hi!

Ladies' Meet is Monday @ 11:00 (or 11:30?) at Adult Pool / Cove Cafe / Signals -- somewhere in that vicinity.

I think Martini tasting is Sunday & Thursday -- I forget the times -- 2:30 or 4:30.

You're right about the luggage limits. I think they like you to carry on drinks so they don't get spilled all over your luggage, or worse, someone else's.

Hope this helps a bit!

Good morning, Banana Heads :banana: :banana: :banana:

:welcome: QUEENIE AND FAMILY!!! First, let me explain ... Bob is a trouble-maker. Don't believe anything he says! :sad2: Let's see ... who else should we tell you about? If you need any shopping done before the cruise, see Lynn. If you need a new tiara, Linda has the scoop. Hope your DH is ready to sing with the Dreamboats on karaoke night! :lmao: You just don't realize what you've gotten yourself into!

I PM'd you about the cruisemate list. LAURI and TOM: I'm updating and hope to get the last one out tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Will you be e-mailing a photo for it?

ROBERT! Black sheep??? Me and Wendy??? How the heck does Cheri always get out of these things?? :rolleyes1

For those of you on the Emmitt bandwagon, all I have to say is ... HUH? :confused3 Were you watching the same show I was? :confused3 Cause Mario blew away the competition! I guess time will tell and we'll know in about 12 hours!

I just found out that 2 days after we get back from the cruise I have to go back out to AZ and NM ... ugh, gonna be a hectic week!

Someone had asked about the origins of the banana obsession. I think it started back in the spring or very early summer. If I remember right, Bill started it? Woo? Bob? Wendy? Am I correct? :confused3

Somehow we decided we were all infatuated with dancing fruits & vegetables and the Dancing Nanas thing stuck! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Off to do some shopping (don't worry Lynn, I won't be taking over your job!!!! :rotfl2: ) and get more work done!

Yes, it was Mutt & Woo who started this crazy obsession. Linda despises it, and I tolerate with a mild touch of distaste (sounds like I am describing a wine). :rotfl2: :lmao:

I STILL haven't gotten my docs yet. I think the UPS guy is to scared to go out in this weather. We are at a chilly 40 degrees with about 30 mph winds and its suppost to S**W tonight. Yuck. Time to leave for Florida.

Have a great Wednesday.

Tonya,
if you dont get your docs by tomarrow I would call DCL and ask when they were sent out. They can tell you that. Ithink everyone else has theirs already.

Kathy :wave:

[LindaBabe]

Sorry Kathy. I've been working my butt off since 6:30 this morning and just now sat 5 minutes down. 1 more workday and we fly at 7 am on Friday! :hourglass I CAN"T WAIT! especially since my luggage gets heavier and heavier. I hope some of the stuff STAYS in florida! I don't wanna lug that much back home!

Scrapbookers? I'd love to see some of your work too, at the ladies meet - I don't want to be the only one - i'm shy. :rotfl:

If you're having birthdays or anniversaries, especially, please give Woo your room number. You never know where pixie dust might fall.

Finalized my gift basket for dh with Shirley at "the perfect gift" this morning. That woman is amazing! :love: If you were thinking of getting one - DO IT!

ok back to the grindstone. Wouldn't you know - we finally got a "hit" and now everyone wants to chase it full tilt - and I'm gonna be gone! They NEED me to :stir: Sorry guys. I'm not staying home for y'all.
