08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 2

[JsMom2]

Sorry, we're on the 5-Day Magic DD cruise right after the eastbound PC and right before drydock. We got a GREAT deal on this cruise. We recently found out it is completely booked. That really surprised me. But, maybe people on the eastbound PC cruise are staying on to continue the "magic"? That is the cruise we are in your current stateroom. I can't wait!

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine. She was telling me that she'd wanted to book the 5 day, but it was sold out. She's going to see if any travel agents may be holding rooms. She also said that when her DD (9) came home yesterday - after staying at my house for a week - she told her Mom "you need to buy DVC like Miss Wendy."

I don't want to get too mushy but our 7 year old made a cute statement right after we had signed the DVC paperwork. I was walking him out to the car and was explaining to him what we had bought and then told him that it was good for 50 years so that he and his siblings would be able to build memories with their kids one day. He said "thank you Daddy" and mentioned that he would make sure to bring his kids by to thank me and Mommy for this when they got older. When we were disussing how long 50 years was he said "and even if you are gone Daddy, I will bring the kids by your grave site and bring you flowers to thank you for this". I wasn't expecting to hear this from a 7 year old but I have to say I was choking up a bit. Kids are truly one of life's greatest gifts.

Even though I had already heard this story, it made me tear up a little too. DS7 has some very profound thoughts at times. He is very mature for his age "at times". Which is scary.

Maybe I should just keep reading before answering. I keep quoting Brack without quotes!

It is so much sweeter coming from you though.

Sorry, I tried to vote too. But, we are only allowed one vote. Nice photo. Bill and I are both suckers for a nice sunset.

You think thats scary, wait until he tells all his friends what his Mom and Dad did for him. All the other kids will be begging for DVC memberships too. Better take your phone of the hook now.

Hi, everyone!

Now for something different--I have a photo in this week's contest over on the photography board, and am currently in first place in my group. If you'd like to take a look, and maybe even vote, you can go here. There are some gorgeous pictures there, I'm really surprised that anyone but me voted for mine!

Beth

I voted for you. I have a photo in the contest for Hidden Mickeys. I don't have the link yet.

Have you looked at the new 40D yet? All of the temptation is driving me crazy. .

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

I have to say, it is nice posting and then seeing the AKV in our signature. Thank you to everyone on here who answered our numerous questions regarding DVC.

I don't think I want to know what THAT is...

 

[DrHug]

Beth got my vote too. She is way out in front. YAY!

I know what you mean, I can't wait to stay at SSR in December, even though we'll only be there for 2 nights.

Hi everyone !

I get to do a little DIS today. YAY !!!

I love it when I don't have to work. I get to be with MrsMork all day.

I can't even begin to ever catch up. I let Ang keep me posted.

Brack, any particular Monopoly pieces that you need? I am sorry to say that I don't have "THE PIECE" that counts; which is probably Boardwalk. Here's hoping though. I sometimes work at a WalMart that has a McDonalds. I like the Big and Nasty, er Tasty meal. I try to not to eat at McD's too much though. It's risky business nowadays.


6 weeks....woo hoo. And I haven't lost a pound. LOL! I have been down 10 and up 5, etc. C'est La Vie.

Do you play online?

My tokens are at home so I'll check tonight and let you know. I'm sure no one has Boardwalk but maybe some of the other properties.

 

[JsMom2]

time!

 

[brack]

Maybe?

 

[JsMom2]

now?

We stopped at McDonald's on the way back from FL. We got the monopoly game pieces on our fries but not drinks. When does the contest end?
