Just dropping in to say a quick hello. I have been on the go all day so far. I am now hoping to get a couple things done before th kids get home. I have exactly one hour. Probably won't get much done. :confused3

Welcome Queenie. :cool1: :cool1:

I have read some of the posts and once again you all had me laughing. I guess its good to log on and get a good laugh :rotfl:

Have a good afternoon. I will check in later.

Hello,
I am getting so excited. We are leaving in 9 days and I have so much to do. Tomorrow my DD 6 goes to the neurologist and then tomorrow afternoon our dog has to get a shot. Then Friday I have parent teacher conferences in the afternoon. We are also going grocery shopping Friday morning. I also have to get my hair cut. My 2 DD's also need to get their hair cut too. I am not sure when I will fit everything in.

Any advice.

I also need to go to Target and pick up a few things before we leave next Friday morning.

Hope you have a great day

:woohoo: Hi everyone!
THANKS for the super welcome, you guys are too nice...and FUNNY! :rotfl2:

I can't wait to meet all of you!

Kathy:: You crack me up, I know now to not drink and read at the same time, I don't want sode flying out my nose. :teeth:

Shell:: Thanks for the info, I'll send everything over to ya!

DH to join in Karaoke? I think he'd rather have a root canal than stand in front of everyone and perform...but maybe with a couple of those yummy drinks, he'll oblige! :crazy:

Ladies night out? Since I'm a first time mommy, I don't remember what Ladies night out means...does this mean, I have to stay up past 11PM? B/c I might not make it till then, we'll have to see how yummy those drinks really are. :blush:

Ok, I'm gonna start packing some stuff, since the little princess is napping. Have a great day everyone! Thanks again for the welcome, you guys are too sweet! :grouphug:

Good Afternoon :banana: :banana: :banana:
Well today went sooooooo fast!! My Mom called with an update on my grandmother and the hosptial told my Mom that they is nothing more they can do for her. It is just a matter of time. So she is being moved to an Nursing Home tomorrow. Well that all that is going here. Going to start dinner. Steak tonight so let me get cooking!!! Talk to you all later :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: !!!

Queenie,

Probably not, I thought about it. But my mom is cruising with us, so we're lucky to have an in-house babysitter! :thumbsup2

Will you be registering for your little one?

Queenie,

Lynn - Our little princess (well one of them) Miss Emily - will be in flounders. She really liked it on our August cruise despite normally having a lot of separation anxiety. I can tell you that the folks who work there are great. We especially loved Janet who I believe was a manager of the nursery (from South Africa I believe, she has a great accent and sounds just like Mary Poppins) and a counselor named Emily. Hoping both are back for this cruise.

Lynn - when you were out and about doing one of your shopping tours, did you happen to pass by the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse toys that are suppose to be out? I can't find them anywhere! I would like to get Cullen the Clubhouse for Christmas.
How about any of you others?

Woo - I have to tell you that was the funniest picture I had seen in a while! I bet you and your little mutt have the best time. I actually laughed until tears came down!

Linda - I told you my lack of scrapbooking knowledge so don't expect too much out of me. I can't even complete a door sign.
Who is Shirley and what kind of gift baskets does she do? Will she fill it with items you bring her?

What is planned for this ladies meet? Is it just to talk and get to know each other?

GREAT one Mutt!!!! :thumbsup2
I can't believe you haven't learned that by now! :lmao: :lmao: :sad2:

Are we going to have to make a rule that we can only drink alone & in private? Otherwise we may spend all our time laughing and spitting drinks on each other. Not very cost effective. :rolleyes1

Hi all....want to stay on the good girl list with Kathy :rotfl2: thought I had better post-don't want the whip out again :lmao:

My mom is back in the hospital-admitted today-pneumonia, bowel infection again (c-diff--3rd bout in 2 months) :sad2: Sure hope I will be able to come-I'm getting a little nervous that I won't make it....need to be sure my mom is well....send me some of that pixie dust too y'all.

Queenie--welcome!!!! :cheer2: :wave2: :cheer2:

Carrie: My daughter and niece are coming with us-if I make it-my daughter is 14 and my niece is 13...when I get home (i am at the hospital right now) I will see if my DD will talk with her.

I too havnt felt really good, but I am just relaxing to hope it will go away soon.

Pat,
Shirley is the owner of The Perfect Gift. It is a shop at cocoa beach and she makes gift baskets for people and puts them in the staterooms so they are there when you get to your room. :goodvibes
She does an awesome job at a reasonable price. Someone got us one for our last trip and it was fantastic!! :thumbsup2
She has wonderful ideas and is so helpful about things. She is very creative and it shows in her baskets.

Hey everyone, if we keep this up we will have 100 posts in 24 hours just like the past 2 days. That has to be some kinda record for posting!!!
I feel like a proud mommy or in my case a grandmommy :love:

That was my biggest fear last year was getting sick right at cruise time. Thank goodness we have not really had much going around here, but it still makes me paranoid. I usually quarantine my kids that last week before we leave, so I guess its getting that time. :teeth:

JanDave, I never thought of it that way. 5 more days of school for the kids, and 4 and a half more work days for DH....Wow it's coming up so fast.
Have a great night everyone!

Big :grouphug: :grouphug: for everyone who has sick relatives or are sick themselves.

I am getting super stressed :scared1: Those darn pillowcases are giving me indigestion!!!!!!! It seemed like such an easy thing. Oh well, I found some really neat Mickey font today so that will do for the names and then I think it will just be 'plain' clipart and something like 'Disney Magic 2006' in WDW script. I think I could probably do it with a bit of effort if I every had a second. I have been trying to sneak a few attempts at work but I really do need to concentrate. Mon and Wed nights are riding for me and The other nights I am with Dutch. This Friday I have to go to a funeral/visitation for a friend's dad about 1 1/2 hr drive away and Saturday I am riding again. So....not too much time. I may have to tell DH that I need some hours on Sunday and get him to take DS out of the house or something. I think our clothes are pretty much together and I hope to pack everything this weekend (soemtime). I am still thinking about calling Shirley for a basket for DS - so will likely do that tomorrow. I am going to leave it up to her to make it up.

Steve - don't forget the pinset you so kindly got for Dutch. I am really looking forward to him getting into the pin trading. I think he will really like it.

I am paranoid I will forget something, especially with what seems like SO much to bring - formal, semi, matchy-poo, 'nice' for dinner, casual, bathing suits, masks and snorkels, pirate (which I STILL have not heard from my ebay lady which is killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!! :furious: ) outfits. The list goes on............

Anyway - it is all for a good cause and once I get my first banana-mama I will be a happy camper!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just hoping DH doesn't start to feel neglected as I hang with my DIS friends. :blush: :banana: :banana:

I am going to print off the list from Shell (THANKS!!!!!!!!!) so he can 'meet' everybody.

Anyway - gotta go. TTFNN (TaTa For Now Nanas :teeth: )

Call her first thing in the morning, grovel a bit, and then she'll tell you it's no problem -- it's never too late! (at least that's what she told me Monday!!!)

I think as long as you give her a bit of direction without being too picky, it'll all be fine.

I know if it was someone calling me at the last minute for an insurance need, I'd bend over backward for that person. I think Shirley seems MUCH nicer than me so you shouldn't have any problems!!!! :thumbsup2

After I'd spoken with her, I felt like a huge weight was off my shoulders because I knew DD would be excited when she saw something for her in our cabin!

Good luck!

:grouphug: :grouphug: and pixiedust: pixiedust: to Lynn, Okie and anyone else not feeling 100%. My thoughts are with you all!

I was worried that I might be coming down with a cold (thanks to our office guy), so I went out today and bought 2 packs of Cold-eeze -- zinc lozenges. Placebo or not, I'm feeling better already! :cool1:

I also bought some of the melt-on-your-tongue strips for DD in stuffy nose and decongestant/cough varieties. I'm assuming that my stocking up on such items is what made them scan my drivers license at Target. :confused3 I must have looked like a shady character! :rotfl:

Better get goin' -- going to go to the hot tub for a while. That north wind should feel great! :sad2:

Thanks for the welcomes again! :goodvibes You guys are great!

Jan:: Thanks for the correction on Ladies Outing...

Can I ask, what is the tiara thing? Will all the girls have tiaras? b/c I have a little tiara for my little princess (from prior photos), but none for me... :confused3

I'm so pooped today...but I have to get my butt in gear to pack. It's not easy packing for me, I'm a MAJOR pack rat. :blush: I have that same fear, like I'm going to forget something...not for me, but for Madison (DD) and I won't be able to buy it on the ship...I'm going to pack and then repack and probably repack again just to be sure I have everything...sigh, I know, I'm crazy. :crazy:

LindaBabe

11-16-2006, 06:52 AM

Queenie, I can so relate to your packing. I packed this weekend and am now ready to start over because i'm sure i've forgotten something!

If you'd like a tiara, try www.glitterdiva.com or www.tiaratown.com. I got mine from glitterdiva and it came quickly. Some of us just thought it would be fun - and much more elegant than 'dancing bananas'.

Speaking of which . . . Woo , I think you're responsible for this one. . . What is that macarena dancing banana doing with his handgesture?

It seems that her, DH and myself all have a little virus of some sort...dealing with some aches and general blahs but other than that we're ok. We should all be back in the swing of things in a day or two.

Going to get myself in gear now. I'll be back later.

I am going to print off the list from Shell (THANKS!!!!!!!!!) so he can 'meet' everybody.
Sarah, I'm curious ... you said a while back that your hair is nothing like it is in the photo we have of you. Can you give us a hint of what it looks like now?

Thank goodness! Does this mean that DWtS is over and we don't have to hear about it anymore? :thumbsup2
"Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? H*** no!" (movie, anyone?). Bob, we still have the DWTS LIVE tour, coming to a city near you soon! :cool1:

Speaking of which . . . Woo , I think you're responsible for this one. . . What is that macarena dancing banana doing with his handgesture?

Mostly sunny, high 77, low 60. So, it should be a wonderful day to start a cruise.

For those that ARE ill.....please get well before we sail.

Bob: Remember John Candy and Steve Martin in the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles???!!! :rotfl:

Jan
:happytv: :happytv: That is one of the classics in our house!

A couple of our favorite scenes include -- Owen (the guy who's supposed to take them to the train station) and his wife. "Train don't run outta Wichita, unless yer a hog or a cattle. . ."

Anther great scene is the whole car wreck part --
"You're going the wrong way! You're going to kill someone!"
"How do they know where we're going? They must be drunk. . .!"
Then after the brush with the semis -- "This isn't so bad, it'll buff right out."

My dad has used that phrase numerous times!!! :rotfl:

And a bit of trivia:

As they're getting close to Chicago in the back of the refrigerated truck, they show the historic court house in Woodstock -- a block from our office! :cool1: Typical of any John Hughes movie!

Love that movie!

Just checking in from work...haven't read any posts yet...but wanted to share...
Is it possible to be completely shocked and overwelmed, happy and disappointed at the same time?
Well...I just found out yesterday (on my birthday, no less) that I am two months pregnant. :blush: No, it wasn't planned. Dh was supposed to be shooting blanks following 8 months of chemo last year...and in February his sperm count was 0..nada...zilch. So no vasectomy for him...he was so relieved...
I only realized yesterday, that I was really late (see what cruise distraction can do to a person) anyway testing and ultrasound to follow...so no guarantees yet...and packing was shoved to the side yesterday to break the news to my husband...who is completely proud of his resilient virility!
And I am disappointed that I will be pregnant for the cruise...been planning for two years...and now I have morning sickness and no beers for me. :o

Anyway...just had to share with someone...off to a meeting...

Here is a :grouphug: and some pixiedust: for all of you under the weather. I think we are trying to fight something too, but I am taking extra vitamin C. My friend told me about something called airborne. You are suppose to take it when you feel a cold starting or when you are going into a crowd. I think we will take it before we get on the airplane-I will try anything to keep from getting sick :sick:

Its a gloomy day here today. I don't think we are going to see the sun until FLorida.

Lots to do today. I am getting ready for a Ladies night out that I am in charge of at my kids school. I am renting a table and selling Mary Kay. I really I have way too much going :scared1: on Hopefully I can finish packing this weekend. That way I will have time to check and double check everything.

Congratulations Laurie. You can drink all the non-alcoholic beverages you want on the cruise! Let's hope that you won't have much morning sickness. You'll be too busy and having too much fun to notice.

Lorna: Please don't you and your family get sick! A co-worker tried Airborne but it didn't work for her. pixiedust: being thrown your way to ward off the germs.

Love the quotes from Planes, Trains & Automobiles. That is one of my all time favorites.

With the weather being cold, dreary and rainy in mid-Michigan, I thought I'd print a few phrases from a Buffett song to get us through the day.

Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake;
All of those tourists covered with oil....

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top.
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home,
But there's booze in the blender (Yeah :woohoo: )...

I am staying in bed today to get over what ever this is and it seems to be working because I am not any worse, so maybe by tomarrow I will be all better. I have never missed a cruise yet, I dont want this to be the first!!!

It sounds like everyone is about ready to go. I never pack anything until the day before we go.I need something to help me pass the time that last day, it always drags by. :sad2:

So last night we decide to go online to fill out our documents. I just kept putting it off. We just finished the first one and our computer shuts off. We finally got back on to do the second and after finishing we get a message that said there is a problem. Since last night we've been trying to sign back on. We keep getting alternating messeges. Either "we can't find this number" or "our reservation system is down." If anyone has a free minute can they sign on and see if it works for them or if it's just our number it doesn't like?
I know we can just fill out the papers from out package, but I was hoping to get it done today.

Hey Carrie - we had problems too. I called DCL and they admitted some issues. The lady there was able to update my file with our IDs (but it still doesn't show up online). I think you can just print off the forms, sign them and bring them to the port.

Laurie - that's really exciting. I know how getting that kind of *surprise* feels LOL :blush: .

My list is actually getting smaller.

I still need to get my nails done..if I make the time for it. I have actually gotten some Christmas shopping done so I plan on wrapping some presents before I leave and this weekend we are going to do some decorating. We are going to decorate our tree on Thanksgiving Day so it's all ready for us when we get home. Othere than the basic house cleaning I think I'm in pretty good shape.

That is a great song, but I have to admit that one of my favorit lines from any of his songs is from the song Boat Drinks. It is a line that only Buffett could get away with singing:

When we leave the ship (sad to even mention those words!), we're heading over to WLV for one night, so we're going to try to squeeze in MK and another park. Our flight out is on Sunday evening...we had to maximize our time in FL! :teeth: Will you guys be staying later?

Oh, thanks for the links for the tiara...I'm going to check it out...maybe I'll work up the nerves to wear one...I'm so dang shy, I try not to draw attention to myself...maybe just a tiara for my little princess. (But it doesn't hurt to check out the site and do a little shopping! :teeth: )

Not small ones either...and I am just shipping crap...pirate costumes, princess costumes, sand toys, snorkel stuff...and then other misc toys, activities for the kids to do on the ship (room and dinner.) Is that a lot? Has anyone else shipped stuff? Is anyone else shipping a potty seat? We are in the middle of potty training...and I would hate to have her regress because of unfamiliarity...
Fortunately though, we will only have three suitcases and one carry-on...then the girls will each have a small backpack.

I checked out what they have there -- we chould try McCoy's Bar & Grill -- they have food & drinks and it looks like it's more casual than Hemisphere -- the main restaurant. There is also a lobby lounge that serves appetizers and shows sporting events. Maybe that's the place to go if everyone will have eaten prior to meeting.

I'll PM you with our cell #'s so we can get in touch on Friday when we know how the kids handled the flights!

Also -- I think I read waaaaay back in the summer that Hyatt gives a voucher for free breakfast at their restaurant. I read it on a DIS thread. I see no mention of this on the Hyatt website. :confused3 It would be nice to not have to pay extra for breakfast!

Kathy, DH didn't get the memo about staying healthy. He has a lingering cough..

He has been walking crooked ever since. (I finally MADE him call his doctor yesterday)

you would think a 32 is a little young to fall apart... I blame all the years of pop warner football when he was a kid.

Ok...so I got caught up in reading stuff on the boards...I was over reading a Trip Report from a guy here in NJ and I forgot a pot that was on the stove :scared1: Imagine me trying to explain that one to Don when he gets home today.

Kelly

OK - SO DOESN"T ANYONE CARE THAT I ALMOST BURNT MY HOUSE DOWN :sad: :sad: !!! C'mon guys...where's the love???

I care! I care! But Cheri was forcing me off the important stuff! I'm sure once Dashing Jersey Don saw his name in print with the rest of the Dreamboats, he would've forgiven all!

Carrie, I had a problem filling out our documents online to. It actually said there was an error, then the next night I checked and all the information was there. I was then able to finish up the other stuff I had to do.

Sorry about that Lauri. Congratulations to the other Lauire. :woohoo: should be interesting on the cruise Lauri, Laurie and Lorna.

Kelly I did the same thing you did once. Imagine being married to a fireman :scared1: Thankfully it was no big deal and I did not have to call 911. My DH has even done some silly things like that and he is the fireman!!!

We love Plane Trains and Automobiles too! That is a classic. I am sure it will be on TV a lot over the next month. That and Home Alone are Holiday classics along witht the Christmas Story.

Talk to you all later. Lorna :wave2:

Hey :banana: :banana: :banana: ,
Well just got done addressing my Christmas Cards. Almost all done :teeth: :teeth: !! Did all the wash :laundy: :laundy: so I can just clean and dust tomorow. DH wants to plan the next cruise but it all depends on us getting a new house or building a new house. Most likely we will book something onboard. Well I have to go cook dinner. I can't wait till the cruise one week of no wash, no cooking and all the other stuff I do princess: princess: !! All I have to worry about is what drink I am going to have at the pool!!! Talk to you all later!!

Lynn, you cannot let that baby get any cuter!

Thank you for the new list, Shell! It's great, and I really appreciate it.

:teeth: :teeth: Ok, I gotta work up the nerves...besides the tiara, I'll just wear a shirt that says "I'm with the crazy bunch...aka"Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads"...maybe they'll look the other way then... :teeth:

Cheri, don't listen to all those lies men tell you, size matters :lmao:
I'm gonna have to leave the tiara case at home though there is just no room for it :rotfl2:

Lynn, Drew is getting cuter each time we see him, and you go girl no shopping for a week at the mall just drinking at the pool (look for Shell, Cheri and I)

Well ate dinner without Dh because he is traffic due to the very nasty rain we are having. Well I just wanted to check in and she want is going on.
Let me go because DS likes to pull the Minnie's (the cat) fur while he is on the floor playing :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: !! Good Night :cloud9: :cloud9: !!
Talk to you tomorrow :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

Wow I hit 400 post!!!!

Lynn - bed already, come now :teeth: Drew is a cutie pie and will likely charm the Princesses til the cows come home.

Kathy - hope you are feeling better!!

Kelly - hey you married a fireman cause their CUTE - what's a few more in your kitchen??? Maybe next time you want to 'accidentally' set a small fire in the bedroom?? :teeth: Just kidding.

Looks like I am caving to peer pressure and will have to try and source out a tiara this weekend :rolleyes: They just aren't as prevelant in Canada for some reason. Is this a USA/cheerleader/pep squad/homecoming queen/sorority deally or what???

Cheri - congrats on the 'chief lush' title :drinking1 You go girl. :thumbsup2
I should be able to help you out in that department. DH just rolls his :rolleyes: when I get going LOL.

I (finally) ordered a basket for DS from Shirley. The girl I spoke to on the phone (maybe Nona?) was great. And a good saleswoman. By the time I was done we had 3 bottles of Merlot, 12 Corona and assorted snacks coming to the room in addition to DS's basket :rotfl: Oh well, beats me having to carry it on. It was really quite reasonably priced you know. I got gift baskets for my sisters last year for Christmas (yes...how personal...I know :rolleyes1 ) and they were at least $50 each. ANything less was pretty chinsy looking. This total with DS's big basket, booze, snacks and delivery is under $80 which I thought was pretty OK.

I also mapquested from the hotel to Grills for our Friday night mini-meet (2 min drive according to mapquest - sweet!) and tried to think of everything I am forgetting. I still have to call for a airport taxi to pick us up on Thursday morning (we're leaving the car at the house for my sister to use while she dog and house sits for us) and I have to sew a button on my shawl/shrug thingy. Work is still crazy, but at least I am employed now LOL. Tomorrow is payday (thank god) so I'll have to slap some $$ onto the credit card to cover the assorted charges I am sure to accumulate over the next little while.

Well, DS has been suspiciously quiet downstairs for a while now so I better check up on him. I'll try and post back later :wave2:

cmaelltt1

11-16-2006, 08:41 PM

Well, I still haven't been able to get online to do my paperwork. I will keep trying and fill it out by hand in case I never get through. I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble with it. I was afraid I accidentally canceled somehow.

We just decided to cancel our reservations in Jacksonville and drive the whole way to Cape Canaveral on Friday. Then we can sleep in a while on Saturday. So I just made reservations at the Radisson. I think I paid way too much so don't tell me your great deals please. Has anyone left their cars there before during the cruise? Is the shuttle to and from pretty quick? We want to get in the car fast and head to the Magic Kingdom. We will probably be getting to the hotel pretty late, but maybe I'll see some of you in the morning.

Hey everyone.

Kathy, You and I seem to share the same internet service, for I too am having much trouble with mine. It seems to be upset 90% of the time and won't let me get to any site! Talk about annoying! :confused3

I'd like to say that today is the last full 7 hour school day! I'm saying full day because the next four school days are 2 hours shorter. Parent teacher conferences. :teacher: Sadly, though, I still have track. You might see me on the ship on deck 4, running around the 1/3 mile track.

Aft, bow, stern, starboard, deck 4... Gotta get back into my nauticle mode!

Lynn - What a great picture of Drew! He finally showed his smile! He is so cute! I can't wait to meet him. Sorry to hear about your grandmother.
Thank you for saying you'd check into the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse toys. I found them on the net. Only they are sold out! I put my name on a list to be advised when they get some in stock. Good Luck to me! I did get Cullen the clubhouse. (they had that in stock) But there is a problem. You have to have the animated figures. They interact with one another. It's the figures that you can't get! (There is a spot in the clubhouse that you place the figure on so they can talk, dance and sing) So, I have a clubhouse with no figures! I'm going to hope for the best. I can always return the clubhouse if I can't get the figures.

Kathy - I'm sorry to read you're not feeling well. Hope you're better tomorrow. pixiedust:

Our weather is going to be in the 40's tomorrow a.m. guys! Very windy and rain today.

Linda - Happy Trails to you! See you real soon.

Laurie - How blessed you are! Congrats!

Let me see...I can't remember what all was said or who all is sick, so -
I hope you all feel well soon. And please, what ever you do, don't bring your illness with you. Leave it home or give it away.

Okie - I believe it was you who wrote about your mom. I hope things turn around for you.
Prayers, thoughts, and :grouphug: , to all who are sick and have sick loved ones.

Queenie - There are a few of us who are not wearing tiara's. Welcome to my shy club! Mine is for real. I hate calling attention to myself by adding a visual aid! My mouth does it enough for me.

Shell - What a great job on the list! Only thing is, I wish you made my picture a bit younger and thinner! And next time take can you take that puffy look away from my eyes? I think I was over medicated that day!

Good night all, sweet dreams

Linda:: Safe trip, see you real soon!!! :goodvibes

Pat and Carrie:: I'm a total wallflower...and I don't like to draw attention to myself either! HOWEVER, perhaps after a few drinks with the bunch, I would definitely loosen up and become a major chatterbox! :banana: :banana:

Lauri:: :teeth: Burger King crown, why didn't I think of that!

Denise:: "Holy Cow and Slap my grandma" :rotfl: :rotfl: I've never heard of that! Hee hee..I love this board, everyone is super friendly...and I can chat up a storm online, but in person, I get nervous in the begining, then most the time, I loosen up (it helps to have a couple of :drinking1 ). :teeth:

I am going to print out the list Shell sent and make sure it gets packed. And I gotta go pick up the gift for the gift exchange, we're heading upstate this weekend to visit DH's parents, so I'd like to get the gift before then...we'll see how much I can get done! Well it's really late, I need to catch some zzz's.

Well Linda will have a cool start to her vacation. We are very cold this morning and only gonna be around 70 over the weekend, but only highs in the mid 60's on Monday and Tuesday. :rolleyes1 I hope she brought some warm clothes too!!!

Shell,
Thanks for the list, it was great and I printed it off to bring with me so I have all our information handy. :thumbsup2

Good morning all! I hope everyone is having a great Friday. A little bit of a cold start here this morning (41 degrees), but it is supposed to be a beautiful and comfortable day!

Have a great Friday everyone. I am going to be doing a lot of driving, so I won't be on too much. But, I promise to check in whenever I can do so!

Good Morning Everyone!

Let me clarify what actually happened in the kitchen yesterday...thankfully there wasn't a fire..but it was real close...I burned all of the water out of the pot and the lid was starting to blister and pop....NOT GOOD...it took hours to get the smell out of the house but by early evening last night things were pretty much back to normal. Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

Going to Jazzercise this morning and then I will probably take advantage of the beautiful sunny weather we are having and head out to do some shopping later.

BOB - safe trip!

KATHY - glad you are feeling better. Me and DD are feeling MUCH better...DS seems a little funky this morning but nothing serious.

Have a great day everyone!

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

Getting ready to go into work this morning (office girl is now sick, too) and I'll be armed with disinfecting wipes & spray. Maybe Bill & I should get gas masks and haz mat suits, too!

Tonight we have a birthday party for my dad and my niece. :bday:

Last night we had parent-teacher conferences; all the teachers knew about the upcoming DCL cruise! Jessalyn will be the third or fourth kindergartener to miss several days of school to go to something Disney. The teacher gave a couple ideas of things Jess could do while gone, so no problems there.

Josh -- despite what you may have read about me, I will also be running a lot on deck 4 and probably also on the treadmills in the fitness center. I run a lot of road & trail races and the first race for the 2007 season is Dec. 16. :sad2: What is your specialty? I was a middle distance runner (800m) in high school & college. Anyway, I look forward to seeing you out & about! :thumbsup2

Tiara talk -- I'm NOT spending $80 for a tiara. I think I'll polish up my existing crowns and just be happy with that. I did see some little plastic tiaras in the party section at Target - $2.99. I was hoping to get DD a new one since all of hers are broken -- princesses are so hard on their headwear! :rotfl:

Well, better get going! I won't be able to check in until later!

Have a good one! :wave2: :grouphug: :grouphug: to anyone not at 100% capacity. Get better soon! :grouphug: pixiedust: pixiedust:

Shell Thanks for the updates list. I will print it off and pack it. Hopefully it will help me keep everyones names straight.

Glad your feeling better Kathy. I noticed it was getting colder down in Florida. Here is some pixiedust: to warm it up by Thursday and keep it that way!!

Today is going to be busy again. Big suprise right?? :confused3 I have to finish getting ready for this Ladies Night out I am involved in. I am hoping to finish my cruise stuff up this weekend. I still have not made my door signs. Nothing like waiting till the last minute.

:grouphug: to those still not feeling well. Heres some pixiedust: Cheri. Hoping you don't catch anything from work. I am feeling better today. I just keep popping those vitamins.

I will try to check in later. Hope you all have a good day.

It is really warm in NH this morning.
When we drove by the bank at 5:30 it was 64 degrees! That is crazy for the week before thanksgiving. (heat wave!)
I almost don't like it! I want it to be COLD here so I can smile and think about the nice warm cruise weather we will be having!.

I agree with you!! Here in PA yesterday it reached close to 70-I want all my friends to be jealous of us while we are lying on the ship/beaches in our bathing suits sucking up the :sunny: while they are cooold :rotfl2:

Not much to report today. Bob, you will appreciate this. I have two relatively large clients who are in similar businesses (not really competitors, but...) and one is lots of fun to work with...the other not so much. When I got into this independent consulting business, I didnt' really want to work as much as I am right now..so I'm seriously toying with the idea of dumping one of them under the pretense of potential competitive conflicts. I have picked up several other projects and one long term client on top of my regular work to make this feasible. BUT it's so darned hard to turn down business. I feel like doing so would give me really bad karma and then when I find myself slow I'll never get it back. Irrational I know...but..

Jan - Now I owe you TWO drinks. Geez. But this one I knew. The hoopies (our pet name for WVU folks) must have been a bit scared at halftime though...and that's all that matters!

Pat - I saw the email from Stacey this morning. It's so sweet. Elizabeth didn't see it yet but she is going to be SO excited when she comes home from school today. We're going out to a basketball game this evening but I bet she will race to the computer when we get home later tonight.

Lynn - your little guy is very cute. If he doesn't mind playing with an older woman, Emily will likely still be playing in the Mickey ear on this trip too. She's about 95 percent potty trained, but we don't want to take the chance of being the people who make the mickey pool close down! :guilty:

Everyone else- have a GREAT day. I can't believe that next week at this time, we'll be heading to the airport for our flight.

I understand completely. That is actually one of the things that has kept me from stepping out on my own. I have this great relationship with several clients, but I have this fear that when I step out, they will be like "Bob who?".

Oh well, life is good today. I am at one of my favorite clients for a close-out meeting to tell them how bad the IT structure is for one of their acquisitions. Should be a FUN meeting! :thumbsup2

Kathy - glad to hear you're feeling better. I'm much better today too.

I'm actually jealous of those of you having cold weather. We have been sweltering in California, and my air conditioning is broken. It actually got up to 95 upstairs last week. Sounds weird to complain about, but its November for Jiminy Cricket's sake.

DS lost a tooth last night. I was actually a little bummed cause I was hoping :tinker: could visit him on the ship. That and it means that he's growing up.

Have a great afternoon all! :yay: :yay:

We're right there with you on this, Athene! It's so much more fun knowing you're leaving the freezing cold!

Jan: the list is in your inbox!

Went to the Dr. this a.m. for a regular visit, and he insisted that I get a pneumonia shot. I didn't even know they existed! He promised no side effects (he knows about the cruise ... heck for that matter, I think the garbage men, the grocery store clerks, the bank tellers, and random people that stand anywhere near us and don't walk away quick enough know about it) :lmao:

I went back into my subscribed threads and found the post from June 2006. A guy said their family received certificates for free breakfast buffet when they checked in at the Hyatt. I did question him about it and he said it was through Hyatt. . .perhaps they don't readily advertise this.??

I'm going to do another search, because I thought I had read about the unadvertised free breakfast from a few other sources on the DIS.

Did more searching, but it mostly gave me what people were paying for their rooms via internet sites.

Didn't see anything mentioned about breakfast. (But several reiterated how simple it is to get from the hotel to the DCL buses (and they start leaving pretty early if that's a concern).

I'm not going to expect any free breakfast. That way I won't be disappointed!!!!

I'm actually folding and laying out clothes to pack with jewelry to match (this is huge for me since I usually stay up all night and pack before we leave).

My mom tried on her formal and it fits (yee haa!) She's been through such an ordeal this year (in June she had a Massive Heart Attach--DIED--was REVIVED -- but was thought to be without oxygen for up to 8 minutes). That's why she moved in with us and is accompanying us on this trip.

You'll be surprised when you meet her, she's doing remarkably well.

Went to Home Depot the other day to buy a ladder and assorted things and happened by the paint department....picked up some of those lime green mickey heads....gonna put my screen name on one and wear it on my hat....just horrible with names....gonna be 54 on the cruise and think that I am developing altimers....cannot remember anything....but do know that cruise is 1 week ago.....

Upgrades....I don't think Disney gives em out....they want ya to pay for them at the port........I am destined to remain in an inside cabin....not bad....I'm on the ship.....

Six more working days for me....real busy ones!

Have a good night and a great Saturday!

Good Morning All:

Lauri: Glad to hear good news about your mom.

Lynn: :grouphug: to you and your grandma.

Tom: I like your wife's attitude about her cold. I've been around sickly people the last couple of weeks and I'm determined to stay healthy until after 12/2! By the way, at age 54, you're still a kid!!!

Jeff: What can I say??? :woohoo: :woohoo:
Jeff buys me two drinks, I buy Shell one drink, I'm ahead by one!

Bo: Even if you aren't a U of M fan, it's sad to hear that Bo died yesterday. He was Mr. Football. Interesting game today in Columbus.

Hyatt at MCO: I stayed there last year before a Wonder cruise, and we didn't get complementary breakfast. We walked a very short distance to the food court in the airport. Leaving luggage outside your room is secure and easy. A very nice feature at the Hyatt is that you need a room key to operate the elevators.

Waiting for my friend Sue to arrive from Detroit. We're going shopping, lunch, etc. A fun day together.

An Open Letter to PGFOUR

Dear Cheri:

I'd like to apologize profusely for exacerbating the impression on this board that you are the lush of the group. In the past 24 hours, I have been enlightened in such a way that warrants this apology.

Without naming any names, it has been brought to my attention that there are others that, with their exhuberant carry-on alcoholic stash, far exceed the small, respectable supply in your plans.

Again, I will not name names as to protect those of which I speak. But, man, can they ever party in New Orleans!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
One week one week one week :cool1: :cheer2: :banana: :banana:

It's hard to believe we are just one week away! I feel like I should be in panic mode...but I'm not. I guess because we've done a the cruise before I feel like it will all just come together over the next couple of days...I sure hope so.
Don got his clothes together last night so now all we need to do is put all our stuff in suitcases/garment bags. I think we've done a pretty good job of keeping clothes to a minimum (wait...that doesn't sound right :rotfl: ). What I meant to say is I don't think we overpacked.
I'm going to call Shirley this morning and see if it's too late to do a couple of baskets...it's just one of those things that I was going to do when I got around to it and well...hopefully it's not too late.
Me and DD are feeling much much better but now DS is worrying me...he's got a bit of a chest/cough thingy going on....gotta knock that out of him real fast!
Big game today.. GO RUTGERS!!! Don got his Master's from there and my best friend and her DH graduated from there.
I hope everyone has a terrific day!

Good morning y'all,
I know I'm late :sad2: today.
I actually slept in until 6:30. Guess being sick for a couple of days got to me.
Then I made pancakes and sausages for breakfast. :stir:

When I got on line this morning I found someone going on our cruise named GordonE. I invited him over to say Howdy, I sure hope he posts. He is new to crusing and is coming with a large group of people. :goodvibes
So If GordonE shows up, be nice, we dont want him to be scared off right away by all the :crazy: people here. :lmao:

It was in the 40's this morning. Suppose to be very cool the first part of next week, Only highs in the mid 60's. They havnt predicted next saturday yet, but you might want to make sure everyone has a light weight jacket and a pair of long pants for that first morning.

Lauri, so glad you mom's doing better!! She really deserves a nice vacation now that she is feeling better. :love:

well time to get busy around here, I will check back in a few.
Hopefully we will hit 5500 today.

I will be watching the Magic pull out tonight thinking next week we will be on it and someone else wil be watching us pull away!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Thanks Jan -- looks like you're confirming what I suspected. I'm still wondering where / how that guy I mentioned previously got the certificates for free breakfast. :confused3 :confused3 Since we'll be gorging ourselves for 7 days, a light breakfast is probably a good idea!

You know, the closer it gets to time for this cruise, the more anxiety I get about meeting some people. Now, I won't name names (Shell & Wendy), but I am sure some of you can guess who I am talking about here!

Hope everyone is having a great day! Lisa and I are giving up our tickets to Ga. Tech's last home game so that we can get the house ready for the house sitter. Even though he is a friend, you never know where he might go exploring! :rotfl2:

Thank you all for your kind words about my Mom. Given what she went through, she is doing just great. She's looking forward to meeting you all. :teeth:

Bob - Somehow I can't imagine you having anxiety about meeting people :rotfl: :rotfl:

DS has 3 count 'em 3 dance classes today, so you won't be hearing much out of me today. He truly is addicted to Dance, do you think they have 12 step programs for 7 year olds? :confused3

See you all 1 week from today!

Hey Everyone...I just got off the phone with Shirley...what a sweet, sweet lady. She is running to the post office this morning so she can get postcards out to DS and DD so they will have them before we leave. Isn't that nice?

I did spend more $$$ than I planned on, but oh well...it's for vacation :cool1:

Be back later-

Kelly - most of the Pitt grads I know, like myself, are cheering for RU to stay undefeated. RU handed my team its first of four - soon to be five - consecutive defeats and I should be bitter :rotfl: but I'd rather see RU win the Big East than WVU or Louisville!

Bob, just for all those little slams, I'm going to make it my mission on this cruise to get Lisa to come over to OUR side (that's Wendy, Cheri & Me)! :lmao:

Hooray ... couple more things off the list this morning ... got the regional gift purchased. It was the LAST ONE in the store!!! Can't believe it was there for me to grab! Got all my bank transactions done. Going to write checks for all the bills due on 12/1, inventory the toiletries and such and see what we're missing, and I think we're close to being ready to go!

Oh yeah ... and spa (read: waxing) appointment on Wednesday! Bill was asking exactly what that entails this morning. As I explained, he said, "And will all your scabs be healed by the time we leave?" :rotfl2: Silly men!

BIG football weekend here. Unless you've been in a cave, you know this afternoon is Ohio State/Michigan (RIP Bo, thanks for the memories), #1 and #2, 6.5 point spread last time I looked. Tomorrow is Browns/Steelers. OK, we only watch for the nostalgia ... gawd knows we're not watching for the strategic genious of the Browns coaching staff! :sad2:

I also cleaned my dog, she doesn't like it too much but it must be done! She smells better after the wet dog smell goes away. Less than a week less. Next week we'll be getting on the ship. :love: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Shell - I've lost so many bets to Jan on various Pitt games that I have to try to make it up someway and get SOMEONE to have to buy me a drink. :drinking1 Wanna wager a cocktail on the Browns-Steelers game tomorrow?

For what it's worth, I'm cheering for the buckeyes. :cheer2: Always liked 'em plus they beat Penn State every year and that makes me happy!

Jeff, when I first read your post, I thought, "Well yeah, if I get Pittsburgh!" Then I asked Bill what he thought and before I could finish "Jeff wants me to bet on the Browns/Steelers game ..." he said "DON'T DO IT!" Well darn it, I just don't do what he says! And I'm a Browns fan, good or bad we always stand by our team (OK, sometimes it's just to hold them up from the beating they've taken) ... so you're on!

I want to take the cam corder and get it going by all lite up in the dark.

LOL - With the way my luck has been going, this may have been what the Browns needed to win tomorrow - my betting against em. So it may all work out for you anyway and I may have yet ANOTHER cocktail on my onboard account (not that I'd notice it probably!) :yay:

Cheri: Funny to read that you're treking into the Chicago burbs for a haircut. My friend, Sue (who lives in the Detroit area), drove 85 miles today to mid-Michigan for a haircut.

OHMYGOSH! 1 WEEK TO GO!!! Our bags are packed and I'm researching trip insurance...just never know what will happen. So excited to meet everyone. There's no way I can go back through this thread and catch up on everything I've missed.

So, unless it's changed...we're meeting at Signals at 3 for banana daiquiries? Is that correct? If not, can someone email me and let me know where we're supposed to be. Shell has my email address and I don't have access to our Cruise List so I can't remember if our email addresses are on there.

So excited here in PA!!!!!!! :Pinkbounc :cheer2: :banana: :cool1: :thumbsup2
