[sirena]

Rhonda,
Here goes the pixie dust So sorry to hear all the problems you have had, like they say, when it rains, it pours.

I already have you down for 4 pins. I love your others ideas (tshirts and lanyards).

Everyone: send the pics to Rhonda so we can get a visual of your family. Her email address link is on the first post.

I made it! I did walk on the treadmill for 1/2 hour but went to get water first and ended up eating chocolate before I exercise. I tell ya, sweets is my weakeness.

 

[seashells]

Sweets the dreaded enemy, sirena i so know what you mean...I love chocolate eat at least one bar a day....i keep cookies in my desk drawer along with jawbreakers, dubble bubble etc...ive been like this for years....

...but i am trying to make a healthy change...since last week ive got dried fruit and nuts....pistachos...apples...and im having oat bran pellets full of fibre and sawdust!!!!!....throwing in a small handfull of chocolate chips helps!!!

its not going to be easy and ive decided to add chocolate chips in my fruit and nut mix.....cause there is no point to living if i cant have chocolate

Rhonda - sorry to hear about your father...hope all goes well

 

[ericamanda01]

Rhonda I am so sorry to hear about your father. I hope all is well and that he is feeling better soon.

 

[gssmks]

Rhonda, I am so sorry about your father. I hope the best for him and will have him added to the prayer list at church.

I am not familiar with the t-shirt company that you mentioned, but anything is fine with me. I just love the idea of t-shirts for just us that no one else has. Maybe you can check on pricing there and I'll check on pricing here with Graphic Impressions and we can see who will give us the best price.

Sirena, chocolate is good, but my weakness is just good home cooking. Being from the country, I grew up eating fried meats, gravies and starchy vegetables. Luckily, I can't cook at all, so I only get these things when I visit my parents. If I went to Mom's every day, I would be so big that I would sink the Magic when I boarded it. DD and I gain weight from eating so much fast food. Where it is just the two of us, it is cheaper and more convenient to just eat out than to try to cook. When I try to cook at home, so much goes to waste, partyly because we are only two and partly because neither of us can eat what I cook!!! hahaha

Well, I am supposed to be working late this evening, but so far all I've done is check out the board. I'll get off and get my work done and check in later when I get home. Let's see how many pages you guys can post for between now and then.

 

[sirena]

I have to make some drastic changes b/c I get tested again next month for my cholesterol. I'm going to flunk! I've been eating chocolate and cheese everyday during and since our trip to Holland. I did tell the doctor there was no way I was going to pass the opportunity since I do not know when I would be visiting again. I think it will be sooner than later since DD made me pinky swear we would go back.

For now, I'll try the treadmill.

 

[sirena]

Did you guys read this thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1142022 ? Apparently the POC ship will be in CC but one poster said until Sept!! I hope we don't miss it.

 

[JOANNEL]

Rhonda, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope all goes well, we will pray for him. Just treasure every minute you have with him. I lost my father years ago. That's great that you will check on laynards. They help me find my stuff easy. They gave us some at the DVC meet but they were very wide and not very comfortable.

Sirena keep walking. I just came from step class, I am pooped. I weighed in today. I am down three more. The weekend was hard to stay on it.

Where is every one staying the night before? We are still trying to figure out if we have enough vacation time to swing a few days at WDW before. We have to pick up the sil & bil at noon on Friday. We are staying at the residence inn.

 

[sirena]

I am staying at the Residence Inn too. Are you guys driving and parking at the port? Last time I stayed at the Radisson and my brother stayed in Orlando. They came over in the morning and used the cruise lot for the car and went with us in the shuttle. All I had to do was ask for another car tag at the front office and add all 5 of them in our shuttle ressie. Who can hook me up with a car tag and shuttle ressie for the four of us? I could leave the car at the Residence Inn but I don't think they have a shuttle. Maybe we can all leave together, Joanne...

 

[JOANNEL]

We will park at the port. We have to get out of their quick. We have football tickets at FSU the 23rd. It's my youngest 18th birthday. We don't know waht time the game is yet. They let the TV networks decide the times. So we won't know until probably early September.

 

[GaCruisers]

Has anyone ever used those family two way radios to keep track of thier kids onboard the ship? What kind seems to work the best? Should we get the kind they can wear around there neck? We have a 11 yo and 8 yo that we might be getting them for. We just wanted the kids to be able to keep up with the radios without losing them, like floating off into the distance.......
Thanks

 

[sirena]

Here's some info on 2 way radios http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1085018 I plan to buy one myself b/c last time my mom spent almost a whole day looking for us. DH likes to sit around too much also and I like to wonder around so this will help us reconnect.

Maybe I'll just take a cab then. I really liked the Radisson shuttle b/c on the way back we did not have to call or wait around. They came to pick us up right away.

Hello everyone. I finally made it home. It sure is rough when your day begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 10:00 p.m. I don't pull these days often, but when I do I hate it. I have taken off quite a bit lately and had a few things that I had to catch up. I'm heading to bed now because I have to be up and going early tomorrow morning. I have to be on line at 7:00 a.m. to make my ADR for our Christmas trip to WDW. Will any of you be at WDW this Christmas? We will be there Dec 17-29. We can't wait. I try not to think about how many late nights I will have to put in to catch up from that many days off.

 

[gssmks]

Good Morning everyone. I am celebrating! I was up and ready to hit the phones right at 7:00 this morning and got all my ADR's I wanted for my Dec. trip at exactly the time I wanted, including Chef Mickey's Character Breakfast. Normally this wouldn't be as much of a big deal, but according to the Christmas threads on this board, the restaurants book up quickly during Christmas because of the massive crowds. All I have left to do for that trip is to call in August to reserve the Candlelight Processional and Call in September to reserve a sleigh ride and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for DD. I am so excited.

Now, if I just have as much luck with my cruise excursions when July 3 comes around!!!!

 

[JOANNEL]

Sorry Sierna, we tok the Raddison shuttle the first trip It was ok, a lot of rude people. We were booked on the 10:30 and didn't get on it until 11:30. No one listened to the guy calling names. They just plowed on. Coming back was even worse. We ended up on the rental car shuttle. He had room for us. This time we don't have time to mess arround.

Good job Gail. You will love the Canle light procesion. It is very nice. We have seen it twice. I love Disney at Christmas, just not he crowds.

Have a good Tuesday.

 

[skoi]

We're staying in Orlando the night before, but I'll be waking them up and heading out early.

Anyone going to try and get reservations at 75 days out? I really wanted tea, but with all the castaway club issues we had, couldn't get to the site until that afternoon.

Julie

 

[sirena]

That's fine. I rather be sure that I get to the port early. I'll call a cab so we can save the $12? day parking fee at the port.

Gail, that's really exciting. I would love to be in WDW for Xmas. Maybe I'll go to Downtown Disney if we stay for Xmas at my sister's in St Pete. It would only be a 1 hour drive.

Now I am thinking of going to Busch Gardens in July. DH and I were talking about rollercoasters and I haven't done any since 2000, before I got pregnant for the first time. I need to feel the rush again!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Um, no I failed in my mission, you need to go back and read the last few pages of posts, 'cause I wasn't the only one who didn't get brunch

and country fair is not too far away.

Hopefully we'll meet Amanda & Eric there...

I am going down this week to get our 3 day pass.

I need to buy tickets, too.

Did you talk to Rocky about maybe Me & Mekayla coming? I don't want to spend $60.00 I really don't Mekayla volunteered us to work

 

[sirena]
