08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 2

[JsMom2]

We love Frasier and watch it every night! That episode was a hoot!!

That's one of my faves also. But I think my all time favorite is when Niles carries around the sack of flour to see what it would be like to have a baby. Remember, he carries it around in a little baby sling, and by the end of the episode the thing has been stabbed, caught on fire, and I don't remember what else!

 

[JsMom2]

I'd definitely be interested in Secret Santa Now to just get him on board..

They also have podcasts on the DCL website, which helps to get the excitement level up. Also remind him about the margarita/tequila tasting, and you can always dangle an "Exotic Rasul" carrot in front of him....

What part of SoCal are you in? I grew up in Irvine. My DB lives in Orange, and my DSis is in Mission Viejo. They'll also be coming on the cruise.

 

[JsMom2]

You must of REALLY not paid attention cause I busted you on the post like a half hour ago

Yep, I was in lala land reading the previous posts, and missed all the drama.

 

[JsMom2]

I almost had to Forbid myself from posting Ever again

NOOOOOOO!!!

We would miss you

 

[pfishgirl]

NOOOOOOO!!!

We would miss you

Awwww... I'd miss you all too

Besides.. someone has to be the stealer around here

 

[pfishgirl]

Good Morning!!!!

DS is driving to school today because I may have to go into work and won't be able to pick him up *early* like I do when he is done with his Vocational Class..

He should be leaving in a few and then I'm going back to bed after I wake up DH so he gets to work..

Back Later.. depending on work, will tell me the time, i'll be back..

If I have to work I will go in from 11 - 3 If not, I'll be back here Trying hard NOT to get another sneaky little

Jungle Book is out on DVD, er the 40th anniversary edition. Time to make a WM run where I can usually find them the cheapest. Anyone need anything else while I am out?

 

[coastgirl]

Ohh I LOVE power shopping with friends !!

About 5 pages behind b/c I went to bed!

Dh is totally a power shopper, and looooves a deal as much as I, though he doesn't make it quite so much a hobby. He's been going to Charlotte NC for business a bit and buying out the stores...he came home with 6 or 7 pieces for dd from CP! I was impressed. Plus a bagful of stuff for himself.

Well after hearing about the cool mail from DVC, I found myself wandering over to their website. Now, I'm very.....intrigued. I'd talked myself out of buying into it after seeing the writeup on another website which CANNOT be mentioned here (hint its not Ratsavers.com) But if there's one thing Disney knows its marketing.

I'm going to look into this some more. But if I do inquire into membership, who should I use as a reference again? PLEASE don't make me go back thru all those pages to look!

Also, is there any incentive to booking on the ship?

 

[RBennett]

WOW!!!! 9 Pages to catch up on after only 14 hours away!!!!! And I missed 2 PIRATES!!!!!

 

[AmberDaClown]

So JSMom2, I saw you posted that your DD was able to move to the 5-7 group at 4.5? DD will be 4.5 on our cruise, is extremely tall and is in Pre-K so is used to group settings. Looking at the activities, I think she would definitely have more fun with the older kids. I wonder if it will be a problem for her to do so. I just have to watch out for both Hook and Sparrow. Pirates really are not her cup of tea at all. No pirate party for us though we might watch the fireworks.

Annual Performance Reviews = DONE

Manager Offsite = DONE

Home Theater Installation = DONE

Letting work beat me down and keeping me from posting = DONE



I so need a vacation after having not had one for a year, and being a Disney freak, I am especially excited about this trip. With that said, I am making the following vow:

"I...Bill. Being of questionable sound mind , do hereby promise to not let outside obligations keep from posting on DIS and being excited about this trip. If I do allow myself to fall into that dark place again , I shall forfeit the that I achieved. This shall be enforced by my fellow DISers but more importantly...the boss (that would be you Jennifer).

Bill"​

Whew...I fell better already! See you all on the boards!

That sounds good Bill. I've got a project scheduled to Go-Live on the 8th, and we're on track, the only project in our group that is on schedule with dates the business dictated to us. I can't wait until it's done, my boss owes me a lot of comp time for all the hours I've put in.

Thats okay I missed both of them and 1 of them was mine.

 

[MrsMork]

well it is 1am and time for me to go Night Night

see ya all tomorrow


JsMom2- Enjoy your day.. I wish you were on the same Time Zones as us.. But at least you'll be on the Same Cruise with us!!!

hmmm that makes me think... Does the time zone change for us while on this cruise? Or does it match Eastern Standard Time Zones ??

We change time zones. They leave a note on your bed reminding you to change your watches.

Use Brack and Annette (Dodd), don't use us - the Morkerts because we live in Oregon.

Bill, you are quite a man to make such a pledge! I am impressed.

Yeah we keep going back and forth too. We thought we had our minds made up that we were NOT going to do it and the materials arrived and we are now talking ourselves into doing it. It sounds like a great deal on paper but with a family of 5, our options are limited as we wouldn't be able to stay in the Studios and that seems to be where you get the most bang for the buck. In fact, we would have to sign a special waiver to be able to even stay in the 1 bedroom villas and those take almost twice as many points as the Studios. Anyway, we'll see how convincing we are to ourselves in selling this.
