HAHAHAHA I stand corrected. Clearly, I have lost the ability to count anything except perhaps how many days until we cruise

 

[Luckymomoftwo]

Ya know, the other day we got our documents and I was so excited my oldest DD is like "Mom, you are like a kid on Christmas Morning!". I said Yes I am. I was so excited. Doing the happy dance and all. So when I got to work the next morning I told the gals I work with that we got our cruise documents and they are like. . . .oh. What? Don't you understand how excited I am. My boss is like, is that for October? I said no, September. I mean it has been on the calendar since last September. They just don't understand and took all my excitement away. I mean, WE GOT OUR CRUISE DOCUMENTS!!!! It doesn't get much more exciting than that, except for being there and boarding the ship. I know we have been on cruises before and they have heard all about them, but they just don't realize how happy they make me.

I just had to share with you all because I know you get it. Right???????

I TOTALLY get it!!!!!

Oh, and I know I have mentioned about how much rain we have been getting. Well, here at our house we have had 7.5 inches of rain since Sunday Night. Yes, 7.5 inches. Our driveway is washed out. The road is closed again. The entire city of Ames, where Iowa State University is, is flooded. Major interstates are closed because of rising water. It is just terrible everywhere in our state. We had a horrible winter with record breaking snows and now this summer we have been having record breaking rain falls. I sure hope it ends soon. Everyone is just in a mess around here.

I saw some parts of Iowa on the news this morning. OMG....all you could see was tree tops. They said a little girl died when her car got carried away by the floodwater. How SAD!!! I hope mother nature gives you guys a break and spares your state from any more rain until some of that flooding goes away.

28 Days 6 hrs 48 min
and even less days at work

Yeah, but who's counting?

I think they have been doing the spiral bound thing all of 2010. I think I first got them on my cruise for the end of January this year. No, they are not special for the Member Cruisr but I hope they will have a lot of other "special" things for us. This is my first SSMC. What should I expect?

That is a good question ..... I would like to know what to expect also ???? If anyone has any insight from previous cruises that would be great

Besides a ship full of DVC members who share in your excitement and love of Disney, you can expect

• Less children onboard
• Special guests related to the theme
• special presentations related to the theme
• A presentation about special incentives in the hope of trying to get you to add on more points
• Daily gifts usually equal to the number of people in the room including little ones
• DVC decorations on the ship

Ok I had a whole post typed and then...... the internet goes down. I have no idea what I said. I am SOOO tired....I took the girls shopping for school shoes after practice today.

Soooo since I have no idea what I said I think it is time for me to retire for the night!!!

 

[dvc4life]

Hey everybody. Seems I was out lounging in the pool while Terrie and Ian were getting the next and . Congrats guys.

Debbie - yes the flood waters are crazy here. They are predicting more rain for yet tonight through tomorrow night. It is actually like Florida outside. The humidity is crazy high and so are the temperatures. But then again it is State Fair time here and that is usually how it is.

As for past cruises, yes you do get nice gifts. Last year we got these clocks with the Mickey Inspiration theme on them. We actually had to get a box and ship our stuff home. The sad part is is we don't even have the clocks up and working. I tried, but the tick tock tick tock tick toc was just too loud for me in the bathroom that is in our bedroom so I took the batteries out and put it back away. We have even left some items in the rooms on the ship because they have been too bulky. (Don't want to say what they are in case they do them again this year.) We have brought two of them home but have had to leave the rest. I guess we really don't go for the gifts. We go because we get to go to CC twice and it is just a nice and relaxing cruise. Also, if you want to purchase more points, now is the time. That is what we did last year and that is how we got on this year's cruise was by purchasing more points. I hope you all enjoy this cruise if it is your first one.

It's Finally Friday!

Have a great day!

 

[Luckymomoftwo]

Well, gosh, Chris if you want to leave any extras behind this year, just drop them off in my stateroom! LOL


YAY!!!! It's FRIDAY!!!! It's been a long stressful two weeks at work. I get to see my BFF (since 3rd grade) tonight and tomorrow I get to see her again and then go hang out with my other BFF (from high school) tomorrow night. I'm so excited! My first BFF moved away when I was in 9th grade and I made a new BFF in 10th grade because her childhood BFF had moved away that summer, too! So I have two BFF's! lol Then, hopefully Sunday the kids and I can go to the water park. Gotta go a couple more times to get my money's worth out of the season passes. Hope you all have a WONDERful day!

I don't know about that. We might be able to work something out. There is usually only one of the things we have left because they are too big, and we don't need four of them, and we really don't have a use for them at home. I don't want to say what it is because I don't want to spoil anything for anybody. And it is just those one certain things we leave behind.

It sounds like you are going to have a fun weekend. Enjoy!

Oh yay! I'm short, hopefully whatever it is will come in handy I am SO happy it is Friday! I finished up my morning class and am back home. I am done packing and DH should be home in 1/2 an hour and then we are off to WDW I got dinner reservations at Fulton's Crab House for tonight after the Tower of Terror event. I had thought about eating dinner first but Wally pointed out that it might not be a good idea to go eat at The Brown Derby and then ride ToT I hadn't thought of that. Boy that could have been messy

Enjoy the weekend everybody!

Now the funny part is that just yesterday i was on the phone scheduling transportation and the CM said we would not be receiving our until 2-3 weeks out. When I told her others had gotten theirs she checked again and said - yours have not been done which is good since you are adding transportation!!!!! I don't even care!!!!! I got my stuff!!!!

Terrie I know you and Wally will have a great time!!! Can't wait to hear all about it!!!

 

[calypso726]

YAY!!! Glad you got your cruise docs! We are at DHS in line to ride Rockin Rollercoaster.
