Feb 23 2013 - MAGICal 6 Night Western Cruise, Galveston, TX

I also love to bake...which is a big reason why I have 50 pounds to lose. Ha. My mom keeps trying to convince me to open a specialty desserts store.

Walmart had their Disney fairies and pirate tattoos on sale today (massive clearance)... so I have a buhzillion of them to share with our crew. I am seriously considering DVC in the future when our church grows and we can afford it. We did feed 230 hungry people this week at our weekly hot meal/ feeding program. Brought tears to my eyes.

I wrote a master packing list. I am getting worried that Abby will want to stay in the kid's club all the time and I will be solo. I have not been alone with quiet for 12 years... my brain might implode.

I have a stupid question, though. I am 1/4 of the way to losing 100 pounds... and it dawned on me that buying cruise (ie summer) clothes will be difficult in Feb. Do y'all know a place to get swimwear in the winter? Land's end?

I hope y'all are having a wonderful weekend!

I am kinda tall for a girl and I am full size at a size 16 so I have trouble getting swimsuits to fit and I bought 2 last year in Jan on Lands End

I need a cruise diet buddy and I think I can hear you vounteering .

I lost 80 lbs 4 years ago and let 30 creep back on so I want to lose that before I cruise . I have tons of dresses that are formal that I cant fit in at all

Sounds like we should all encourage eachother.

 

[CeCeGarrett]

I'm all for that!

I may not be online for a while depending on where Isaac decides to make landfall. I am in Gulfport, MS and things are not looking awesome for us. I will check in on my Facebook and if I can figure out the Dis mobile app I will here too. Gonna be a long week. I might die without facebook and planning/obsessing on here.

I sent you a friend request on FB.

Yay theres a thread. Howdy everyone!!! We had to change our sail date from Feb 1 to Feb 23 and I'm so glad I found our new cruise date family! DH and I are looking forward to setting sail on our first cruise... which we are kinda calling our baby moon We were already planning FE gifts for our Feb 1 trip and plan to carry that over to ya'll!!!! WHOOT!!!!! I am super excited to meet everyone! I didn't read all the post yet but is there a FB group??? WE CANT WAIT TO CRUISE!!

I just turned 25 on Friday and my DH is 26, we have 3 kitties that are like our children. I was a CP WDW cast member in 2007, DH came to visit and proposed while I was at WDW, I came home later that year to plan a wedding and get married. We went back for our Honeymoon Christmas of 2008. We are ready to get back to all the Magic they call DISNEY!!!!!!!!!

Hi! Welcome! Looks like we have another Texan in the crew?

Is it just you 2 sailing? Me and DH are not bringing the kids. Everyone keeps saying "Why are you going on a DISNEY cruise without your kids?!?!" They just don't get it. Haha.

We haven't created a Facebook group yet but Cece and I were talking about that. I am all for it.

BTW, I am the keeper of FE information, so I added you and your DH to my FE spreadsheet.

I am a practicing DIY wife/one day mom so my gift plans are making some things I have in mind. We will see how that plays out as time goes on.

I am thrilled to get away for the cruise too! We've never cruised. We've also never been on a vacation alone before. I was 2.5 months pregnant with my twins when we got married and my OB forbid me from travelling, so we never got a honeymoon. They are almost 3 so I am ready!

I am excited to meet all the 2/23/12 cruisers.

today I ATE fried chicken I will start the cruise diet on Thursday cause I have dinner dates with my grandkids at ChuckECheese on Tuesday and lunch on Wend with a friend .

I wanted to confess to my diet buddies .

I hope to lose 40 pounds by the time we sail. My wedding didn't even motivate me to lose weight but a cruise sure has...lol. I have lost 12 pounds but got back to my bad habits which I'm sure did not help me keep it off.. But as of tomorrow we are back on our healthy eating habits once again!! Are y'all sharing progress?

 

[kelis]

I had 70 to lose and I am down 20. My biggest issue is that I love food and despise exercise. Specifically, I love sweets. Really, I am a meat and taters kinda girl and I hate veggies and fruit which does not bode well for dieting.

I've lost thus far.. only 65 to go. Good news is, I win the fatty contest

Welcome to our tiny meet board! I might be out of communication after Isaac shows his ugly face later today.

Keli... for your amusement and in the spirit of compulsive planning confession:
I washed EVERY pair of underwear in my house... that's 6 people. Just in case we lose power and it's out for week like Katrina - SO everyone can at least have clean butts. I am not normal. Most Gulf Coast folks here buy beer, bread and milk (I so dont get the milk part.. hello? power outtages?) and I wash underpants.

I could totally run this country. I think I missed my calling.

Many Blessings to my new DCL friends!

I hope the hit isnt as bad as everyone is saying... I think your take on 'prepared-ness' is fantastic! I could do a week without the need of bread and beer then I would a clean tush! That is going on my hurricane plan 'to-dos'.

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

 

[kelis]

I started a group and in true Keli fashion I posted it as 2012 instead of 2013. I changed it though...I think.

ETA: It does, in fact, say 2013 now. YAY!

 

[CeCeGarrett]

Checking in on here to say HOWDY! Has everyone found our facebook page? We are far more talkative on FB than here.

My family has booked the Magic for 8/23/13. Hubby couldn't come but Nana, myself and three amazing kids can't wait. I think they are more excited about missing a week of school. First time cruise. Disney World was AMAZING!! I can't wait to see what Disney Cruise has in store. Kay
