Monday is here.. for me.. the first is coming up and it's going to be crazy busy until the 12th.. so you probably won't hear from me much.. but it makes time fly.. 2 more first of the months then relaxation..

Well Yvonne, I hope we hear from ya cause well there aren't many of us so it depends on us to chatter...


Ok everyone 42 days and I am leaving for vacay I am so excited. So much going on here. Started packing, cause well ya know I am packing for 7 of us. and there are 9 of us going. I have last minute things to find. Like Nelia(9) needs dress shoes. She has grown out of her black ones so I am in search for them. Finally found my SIL a bathing suit top. Got Syd(13) her black jeans for her pirate outifit for pirate night. I am still on the hunt for a white peasant style top or a red and white striped one. Who thought that would be so difficult. I can't remember what else is needed...oh yea and some bra cups or something to wear with formal dress as the back of my dress is all open. Oh the things that causes us stress Well off for a much needed Pedi....ttfn

47 more days to cruise.. 46 days until I fly away... been walking and dieting the past 40 days.. can't wait to get on the cruise and eat..

That's funny because the only reason I try to loose 5 - 10 pounds before the cruise is because I know I'm going to gain 10 - 15 with all the food & drinks. I say I'm going to walk around deck 4 but that doesn't seem to happen. Even when we were on the EBPC for 2 weeks, with 7 sea days, I chose not to find the time to walk. But I sure did find time to go to the spa and lay around the pool.

It must work opposite for my body cause I lose a few pounds on vacation!!! We use the stairs a lot. I don't take the elevator much. I would die to be on a transatlantic. We have always thought about doing one but now that our Dd is headed to high school next year our dreams of that are over. :'(

For Cathy:
I have tried to PM you but for some reason my posts and messages don't seem to be showing. So I'm trying again Jayden wants to get a message to Summer that he is banned from chatting on the Internet (or using it)until his grades improve. He wants her to know he can't wait to meet up with both your girls on the cruise and he isn't ignoring them.

Packing for 7... wow.. I'm freaking just packing for 2.. having a blast with the FE stuff.. it's keeping me busy and helping time go by fast.. totally love this idea..

are people still interested in the Secret Mickey..?

hope so..

I might loose weight on this vacation.. we are going to Disney world.. and we should be walking 3-6 miles a day.. or more.. that is why I have been walking everyday.. my goal was to walk 150 miles before we left.. I'm falling behind because of stupid dinner engagements.. and football on Friday's.. I can't take pictures and walk in the same night.. tried it last time.. and it was way tooooo cold.. but I walk the track while taking pictures.. so I kinda walk.. but can't count the miles..

Good luck on packing for 7 people.. we have been shopping for one little girl who's turning 2.. we have bought so many princess dresses.. she's going to have enough to wear 2 a day.. and she's going to need several suit cases.. we might ship some once they are ironed so we don't get them all wrinkled in the suite cases.. just one little girl is so hard.. can't imagine packing for more.. my son is easy.. he wears jeans and t-shirts, nice shorts and has one nice outfit.. he refuses to bring anything else.. my sister has her hands full of all the princess stuff.. all I had were boys.. so all this pink and princess stuff is all new.. I'm use to hot wheels and football.. not tiaras and dancing..

Happy Halloween.. I'm off to a dinner engagement with some "old" ladies.. wish me luck.. hope my house doesn't get egged because no one is there to hand out candy..

Wanted to be the first to say- can't wait to start our vacation NEXT MONTH!!

[yroberts]

Wow.. Next Month.. I've had a calender for our vacation.. it started out with 4 pages.. 4 months to count down the days.. now it's down to 1 1/2...

hard to believe it's next month..

it's the first of the month for me.. until the 12th.. I'm going to be spinning.. I work for my mom in property management... rents rents rents.. busy time until we get owners paid..

hope everyone has a great First of November.. in 30 days.. it will be the first of December..

Happy November..

We won our football game last night.. that makes us #2...

the date we sail is the championship game...

we haven't made it there in 20 years.. to the championship game that is..

I think I jinks us.. since Jonathan is setting sail on that date..

our team will make it there just to mess with my head..

then Jonathan will have to decide if he wants to play ball or set sail..

poor kid.. who would have thought we would make it this far???

I just spend a happy half an hour reading the Navigators from the first 5 night cruise. The menus are the three rotational menus plus Let The Magic Begin (one of my favourites from the longer cruises) and Pirates of the Caribbean.

That's funny because Summer & Autumn have been crazy busy. Sum's taking advanced Biology, Geometry, ASB, reading novels in Lit and coaching soccer for 8 year olds and they made it to the playoffs. She barely has time in her schedule to sleep. Some times she sleeps in the car on the way to an event. Her electronics have been very limited too. Aut is fine with school but she's playing soccer 5 days a week, cross country and now volleyball starts on Monday. She actually has a volleyball tournament that ends on Wednesday Dec 11th and we fly out on Thursday Dec 12th. (She missed it last year because we were already sailing the EBPC.) They haven't skyped or face timed anyone since I couldn't tell you when. They were hoping Ashley & Emily from Australia and Jayden have been equally busy and haven't noticed. It's going to be hard for Sum to miss 2 weeks of school. Robert even said he thinks we should have waited or maybe only done 1 cruise instead of the B2B. I told him not to worry, we would be just fine, but now I'm worried. Tell Jay we miss him and quit fooling around in school and get his grades up. The girls are off the last week of November for Thanksgiving so maybe we can pick a day for the kiddos to talk. I miss you guys and I'm counting the days till we see you again! Hi Kath and Bill!

I can't wait to be back on her. For my family, it is our 5th on the Magic and we have 1 sailing with her sister ship the Wonder. I just hope any bugs in the system are all worked out by our cruise.!!!
