Yeah, looks like I will be paying for another gym membership over the two weeks, at home and at the Magic. I really wish I had enough motivation to do anything but lift on my own! It is mainly for the Cardio kickbox (love it), yoga (like it) and pilates (which I don't do.)

I guess we will either run on the ship's quartermile-track or use the treadmills and pump some iron.

Eric, Looks like you and Anja picked the right "doggie" people to visit. We have a male Golden Retriever named Sandy, a black cat named Nala, foster cat gray tabby named Friady, and a turtle named Lucky. Sandy will be coming to Shell Island with us. He loves to swim!
Mary Jo, So sorry to hear about Sam's job situation. A few years back Mark got let go from a job he loved after 15 years of service. He found another job right away, but it was a long time before he really got over it. I'm glad that this will not interupte your cruise plans.
Cathy, I'm not able to do much with the logo. Can't change the size. Could you please help?
Kim, Got the programs and the game for the kids. Thank you so much!

The kids started back to school yesterday. They are both very happy to be back. Casey even rode the bus this morning!
Busy weekend coming up. Mark's company end of the summer picnic at the local waterpark on Sat. and then I have to work on Sunday at job#2. We lost one of our residents this week. She was 59 years old and had been in in some sort of "home" since she was 7. Sad, but can't help feeling that she is now in a better place.
Just 8 weks to go!
Later, Avé

Did the logo get e-mailed to everyone? I didn't get it. @GoofyNut can you send it to me again? Thanks!

Does this mean your puter is no longer dyslexic? . I'm asking because then I could a) send you the word files instead of the PDFs, and b) because I could do a last-minute update if necessary when we're at your place.

Now Anja's confused She doesn't know which dog she should steal. But I guess she will make the same decision as when buying shoes: If she can't make up her mind for one of two pairs, she usually just takes both

dsncruiselover: I sent you a pm.

Good News....Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen is playing in Orlando this Oct.
Bad News.....Concert is on Oct 8th, the day before we return from our cruise!

Yes Eric, Looks like I will no longer need a special list. I can play with the rest of the kids now.

Can I get the pictures for the shirts too? I know it will take me 5 weeks to get them on a shirt right!
I am glad there are other families with as many fur babies as ours! 2 dogs (1 rescued stray, 1 retired service dog) and 3 cats (1 rescued stray and 2 rescued from kitty jail). Take care everyone, Denise

Add us to the list of many pets. We have FIVE cats which is amazing considering that we were always dog people but got hooked on cats when our DD came in with a little kitty many years ago. One was from the humane society and the rest are strays. Actually we have six if we count the new little kitty who is our outside cat now. We just feed and water him/her. We have 2 orange tabbies, one calico, one tortoise shell and one long-haired deaf white cat. Did you know that blue-eyed white cats are supposedly always deaf? If they have one blue eye and one other colored eye they are deaf in one ear only. The last cat was one that Sam picked up in a parking lot while I was at WDW with a friend of mine -- not a pleasant surprise when I got home. Four was really enuf.

I also have not received the logos yet, not that I am sure I will know what to do with them when I get them.

I am now doing a countdown not only for the cruise but for my retirement date -- leaving work on October 29. The office is moving to SC on 10/16 so I decided to hang around and help with the move. Driving to the new place would add another 52 miles round trip to my drive in the horrible traffic. I will be sleeping while the others are out driving! Sounds good to me.

I was so excited when I read that Bruce is playing in Orlando until I saw the date. Just my luck! He'll be in Philly while we're on the ship too. Maybe next time.

Laurarn- sent you a pm. Waiting for your info so i can send the list out.

 

[RellingTwin]

I can't belive school starts MONDAY! I took the kids to see "I, Robot" today. I really liked it and so did the kids.

New kitty is adjusting fine to the rest of the "fur family".

jeanniec...a friend of mine has 5 cats. She jokes that if she gets another one she will be know as "The Crazy Women With All The Cats!"I guess if you have 5 you just love cats, but when you go to 6, that's crossing the crazy line!!!!
Humans still out number the fur members of this family, but if you add the fish and reptiles....then WE are out numbered!
Is your calico a female? Someone told me calico's are always females. I had never heard that before.

Eric, I can just picture Anja trying to smuggle a yellow lab and a Golden back to Germany! She might have better luck with the turtle. Of course she can have as many squirels as she can carry!

No more American squirrels for Europe!!!
Ours are relatively small with a bright red fur, the Americans are bigger with a grey fur. Some American squirrels fled from German zoos and have mixed with the German population (The squirrels, of course - Just in case any of you jokers out there already thought about making funny remarks ) and in some areas they already dominate.

Eric, Go the Vancouver B.C. Canada, I freaked the first time I saw the squirrels out there, they are BLACK ! I saw one as I was waiting for my car at a hotel and asked the doorman about them, he said they are the only color they have in B.C.

Well it is a might bit chilly this AM. It is 5:45 and 47 degrees F.
We have a few friend on the way to work on the house with us, I guess we won't get to overheated today...

Cathy ( Goofynut), I did not receive the iron on logo's either. Could you please send them to me.

Thanks, Kim

We have black squirrels here too!

Weather here is ok (at least it's not raining) but I wouldn't say heat was going to be a problem. My secretary was looking at the farmer's almanac yesterday to see what the weather was going to be like on her vacation -- very depressing. From now until the end of September it was full of rain, thunderstorms, rain, unseasonably cold and it had frost (!) at the end of September.

It's not supposed to rain this weekend but we'll see.

DS is home for the weekend and would be very depressed if I told him school started Monday. He doesn't go back til after Labour Day. He's not sure if he's going to be home next weekend so doesn't know if he'll make his cousin's 2nd birthday party. Got him some finger paints. I'm just waiting to see the cake design. My SIL always orders a fancy cake. Last year my niece's birthday cake was barbie's dress -- there was a barbie in the middle of the cake dress. Do not know how they do it but it was good. There's a really good cake place close by where she orders the cakes.

Must get going as we are going to Rennaissance Festival today.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

There is a very nice park by me where almost all of the squirles are black. I live in Maryland. The only other place I had seen black squirles before was in Vancouver Canada.

Hey, anyone else excited about the Olympics starting soon.

POLL:
Anybody have any tattoos? Are any of them Disney?
I have two:
1. Left inner ankle, Scorcer Mickey
2. Lower back, tribal Mickey design.

[Suecot2000]

One more thing, still waiting for the e-mail of t-shirt design.

Thanks,
Sue

Sue, No tatooes for me, but can't wait to show off my "Mickey" pedicure!
