WELCOME CRSNDSNY

CONGRATULATIONS JEANNIEC ON YOUR RETIREMENT

WAY TO GO RED SOXS

Peter and Jen must be very happy this morning

Eric--- It is always interesting to learn about our cultures traditions. I had never heard of that one for retirement.

Arlene--- I know what you mean about winning the lottery, we don't buy tickets either.

Has Jean returned from her trip yet??

Back to work.

I can't believe I missed this thread!

DH and myself will be celebrating our 5-year anniversary with a vow renewal onboard the 10/14/06 Magic. We are now expecting our first baby, so he/she should be almost 1 1/2 by that time. We've invited numerous family and friends, but none have booked yet. They just 'don't get' the early booking discounts! LOL

We are currently booked for CAT4 8520 (? -- I think that's the number LOL) and early dining.

This will be my 4th Disney cruise and DH's 3rd. We are so excited!

HI EVERYONE!

Melody

Melody-
Welcome and congrats on your pregnancy!

I just saw your post and had to join in. The last DCL cruise we took I was a total lurker and missed out on alot of the fun. Actually this cruise we are bringing a big group with us. So far we have 6 cabins filled with family and friends going just to celebrate nothing and have a great time doing it. I keep telling all of the newbies in our group to check out this site. Hope to see lots of lime green during check in.

jeanniec...Let me say 'CONGRATULATIONS" Hope you enjoy your retirement to the fullest with good health.

Eric...loved the story about your dad--boy how I wish that I could do that!!

Sharon...let us know when Ciara is performing at Giants Stadium...you never know who might show up to cheer her on!!

Peter...how about those Red Sox!! Dave Letterman said that they got a hooker for Babe Ruth's ghost and I guess it worked!!

CRSNDSNY...I am going to pm you...I know we pm'd each other before but I lost your contact number...we are neighbors so we will definitely have to do lunch (are you also in, GoofyNut!!)
We are still a go for this cruise and if I have to cancel due to school obligations, I will do it closer to the cancellation date--I am going to see how things go..so far, Sarah and the English teacher have become buddies (it helped that Sarah's tests were all above 90!!) so maybe we can still squeek this cruise in!!

Melody...Congratulations to you and hubby on the new arrival!!
When are you due? Mary Jo

Welcome Melody ... Cool another little one close to Haley's age to watch. Have a great pregnancy.

JeannieC ... COOL, they are doing some downsizing and early-outs in our agency and I envy those that are taking them. Since I do nothing but retirements, etc daily as my job I get a kick out of the look of relief on the faces when they are doing their paperwork to retire. Best of luck and may you have many, many years of relaxation ahead of you.

Okay--I'm having a brain freeze.

What was the name of our head waiter? And what country?

I know there was Nick, and then there was a woman. Mine wasn't either one of those. I'm scrapbooking my pictures and I can't for the life of me find anything that has his name on it.

The servers called him Preggy.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks, Marianne

P.S. My phone is up & running, my Internet is dial-up (yuck!), and my DSL will be Nov. 8th.

Hello! I have just decided to sail on 10-14-06 and how exciting to find all of you wonderful people will be on board too.

I just emailed Eric so I can be added to the official list.

I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Brenda

Welcome aboard Melody and Brenda. You have just joined the best group of folks we have ever had the privilege to sail with. No need to look for lime green at check in as we design our own tee shirts with logos. Mike

 

[CRSNDSNY]

Thanks everyone!
I am about 8 weeks along now & am due June 11th.

Cross your fingers that everything goes well and that this constant 24-hour-a-day-nauseating-hangover feeling goes away! LOL


Melody

Welcome JC Butterfly!

Brends & Melody,
I got your mails - Now you're official members of the gang

For the rest of you:
I'll do an update tomorrow night (Our time), so please submit your wishes for changes until tomorror, 10/29/04 1pm EST.

Brenda: What's your dinner seating?
Melody: Is DH's name really EB

 

[JC Butterfly]

Yeah! I've never been an official member of a gang before!

And I get a t-shirt? (to buy) how cool.

I am currently booked for main dining. Couldn't decide which way to go. Might be willing to change.

 

[cdnmickeylover]

Welcome to everyone!

Melody - I feel for you. Although I didn't have much nausea my SIL basically felt ill the entire 9 months. I don't wish that for you or anyone else! So pixie dust is being sent to you!

JC Butterfly - yup you get a t-shirt (actually you'll be emailed the logo and then can iron on transfer it to a tshirt -- it's easy!)

Welcome to you too Crsndsny!

Jeanne - Congrats on your retirement. Wish I was close but I don't think so!!

If I got a some sort of tape measure to cut off I'd have to cut off one per year! Unless of course we win the lotto. We do have a lottery pool at work but so far nothing more than free tickets and the odd $10. Certainly not enough to retire! The best thing is that our winnings would be tax free (if we ever won!)

Back to the grind.

I am so excited!!!! I just went to the mailbox and found an envelope from our mortgage company. I thought, oh no, this can't be good. Well, it was a check for $1350.71 for Escrow Overage!!!! I can't believe it. Last week, we got a check from NJ state for $600 for that property tax refund thingy. I'm thinking this is going to pay for quite a few drinks on the ship for our August cruise.

Sorry - just had to share this with someone.

LOL -- Yes. His nickname is EB (think E.B. White). His full name is Ernest Bernard, but they called his Dad "Ernie" already and wanted a different nickname for him. EB just stuck.

Hi Renee',

Does Haley need more stickers ?? " Auntie" Kim has lots she can send her ...

Your rebates can pay for Haley's photo package while on board the Panama trip..LOL LOL
Loved the lifejacket photo, perhaps I will post a new photo on this site, It might be of the mother figure parasailing.... anyone interested in seeing that ???

Back to work,

Kim

 

[piglet33]

Kim -

Ever since she got those stickers during her haircut, that's all she wants now.

I don't know you think that will be enough money for the picture packages? After all, we will be on the ship for 14 days. Maybe I have to take a second mortgage just in case, lol.

Speaking of pics of Bette, I have some of her at the character breakfast wearing the lovely "hats" that were made for her. Maybe I should post them too?

I think a montage of the " better" photos would be great, How about I select some of the " more flattering" photos and we get together a little show for all the folks ??
