We have a very big walkable attic.. Part of it is for storage.. the Rest is for Pins..Ok and a TV, PS2 etc etc
I would LOVE to find some way to display them nicely and hang them on the walls.. I mean we have 2 houses worth of walls
Now that everyone knows I have blindingly-pasty skin, I have a related question--does every WOMAN (I will not say everyONE b/c some smart-a$$ will start talking about cross-dressing) wear hose? I have a long dress for formal night with open-toed sandals, and I'd really love not to wear panty hose. Same for my below-the-knee and knee-length dressy dresses...
And in general, no shorts at dinner? Not even the first night? I don't do capris, they look awful on me; I do have a couple of pairs of bermuda-ish ones that are within a couple of inches of capris, just not "in spirit". Kids too? Ds' shorts are all nice khaki sorts, not knit "gym" shorts.
I know we can always go to Topsiders or one of the quick-service places, and we may if there's no "special" reason to get dressed up. It just sounds like work, to make sure everyone's changed by 5:30 or so, when the sun's still out and it's the Caribbean...
Good Night Julie. Nice to see you getting to bed at a decent hour young lady!

I plan on taking some Clorox wipes and swabbing down the worst offenders... the tv remote, the door handles, the faucets, the light switches, etc. I've also found a small disenfectant spray that's basically alcohol that can be sprayed on the shower floor, etc. Lysol now makes a 1oz travel size disenfectant, but I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere yet. It's relatively new. I'm not so much a "clean freak" as a "germ freak." I live in happy clutter. But it's germ-free happy clutter.
That being said... I was thinking the other day... I know the cabin stewards come in and clean up each night, wipe down the sinks, etc. But do you think they use a clean rag for each cabin? Cause the thought of them using the same rag they wiped someone else's cabin down with...

I probably won't wear hose since I'll probably be in something floor length. I'm going with the Caribbean dress code here (which I just made up) which is no hose in the tropics. But yeah, I just get too warm when I wear them. And, I figure, if I'm in a floor length dress, who's gonna see anyway?
We don't do shorts at dinner. I think Disney looks the other way on the first night because some people may not have gotten their luggage yet, but in general, they ask for no shorts. And, fair warning, there might be people on the cruise that feel so strongly about this that they won't hesitate to give people wearing shorts disapproving looks in the dining room. If you ever read a thread on the subject over on the main board, some people can get downright vehemenant about their opinions on this. Some of the stories are funny though... I remember one about a guy who showed up in one of those sleeveless undershirt things with the rest of his family in cut-offs. And there's always quite a few stories about women who go a bit too far in letting the girls have.... well, a girls' night out.
The theater gets a little cool sometimes. But as soon as I step out onto the deck, I usually get warm. Especially if there's the slightest bit of humidity. I find them perfect comfortable temperature.
Dining rooms are generally not hot. Lots of folks recommend bringing a sweater because they find the dining rooms cold.
How sweet!Our children and grandchildren have always LOVED getting all dressed up. When DGS was 3 we took the whole family on a 4 day cruise. This little on LOVED his shiny black dress shoes so much that he wore them everywhere. One of my favorite photos of him is by the Mickey Pool in his bathing suit with his shiny black dress shoes and black socks!

I know the kids will want some room service, and sometimes a quick bite at the buffet may be necessarily low-key...
Maybe I'm just getting old. 
All this week, I've felt like my brain has gone on vacation 3 weeks early and without me. The latest development is that I find myself in situations where I'm looking right at a person, listening to what they're saying, but not hearing a word being said. It's like I can't process the words as they're being spoken. Now, what's odd is that it's only happening when I'm listening to people with any kind of accent. Which, in LA, is quite a few people. I had a lot of trouble when I first moved here, but I've gotten much, much better over the last few years at applying various accents to words and knowing what's being said. But it's totally turned off this week. I haven't even had aspartame so I can't blame my brain fog on that.
Does that ever happen to anyone else?
Of course, I am old, too!
Just wait til you run out of reasons and have a 3,4, 5, or 6 yo in front of you extolling the minute virtues of...whatever...
Our door will just have magnests too.... It is just suppose to be something fun to do...
I will not be wearing hose....
When I asked about the shorts I was told pretty harshly that my kids are no exception to the rule and that they have to have dress pants...since DCL said that jeans are acceptable I thought they could wear those but was told other wise.... Since some people can be down right nasty I decided not to put my children in that situation so I went out and bought them 3 pairs of slacks.
I just don't get why people have to be nasty about things like that though. I mean... seriously... giving a small child dirty looks for wearing shorts? That's just so wrong. 
Only stayed an ecxtra half hour today 
We were kinda slow today which was a nice change of pace..
