Well, my break is over. Time to get back to doing some work.

Later people.

65 days!!!!!

Jeff, what time do you start working????

 

[Karen Mouse]

Don't need photo shop for that Karen, just have the picture taken from your shoulders down.

- why do you think I'm always taking the photos - that way I'm never in any

Congrats on the weight loss Karen.

Thanks. Just got back from the gym - geez! - I had a different instructor - what a hard class and she didnt put the air con on til 3/4 way through - I was melting and it was a tough class. Guess how many turned up for the class - 1 - me! - I had a personal training session without paying for it I could barely do my gymwork after - I now have jelly legs - they worked so hard today. God help me at the disco tonight.

65 days!!!!!

Jeff, what time do you start working????

What time do I stop.

We have a Citrix hook-up to the office.

As for actual office time, I go in about 8:15-8:30. However, I was up at 5:15 today and online right away. Need to get ready here shortly. I'll probably work until 5:30 today and then be back on around 7:30-8:00 tonight until at least 11:00. Last night I was on until Midnight.

This time of the year is the worst because it is year-end. My audit is suppose to start the first week of August, but I haven't heard back from the lead to confirm that. I am out as of the afternoon on the 13th of August, so they have to get in early.

We'll fix that on the BOB. There are now going to be tons of pictures taken of you.

Maybe we'll have a contest of who can snap the most pictures of you in different scenes.

Good morning/afternoon all from lovely Door County WI!

I'm trying to catch up on the thread, but you've been too chatty, so instead I'll do this...

Congrats to everyone for everything!

Happy Birthday to all!

Hope everyone is enjoying their vacations or counting down to their vacations!

for anyone that's having a hard time....

Well, right now, I'm sitting in the dining are of our condo up in Door County, waiting for the coffee to brew and the rest of the gang to wake up. Thomas is watching cartoons. So, I thought I'd post a bit for my DISfriends about my trip.

For thoase of you who don'r know where Door County is, it's the small peninsula in WI that is surrounded by Lake Michigan and Green Bay:

See the orange area:

We're staying at a place on Kangaroo Lake:

It's on the right side (the lake side) sort of in the middle. We have a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo with a full kitchen...and the resort has amenities such as a rec center with an indoor pool and hot tub, a beach area with sailboats and paddleboats, etc.

This year, Thomas wanted to help me pack, or maybe he didn't want to be left behind:

 

[millerpjm]

Let's see....what have we been doing here....

Well, we went to a cherry festival:

Thomas got a balloon animal:

and had his face painted....a pirate, of course:

Sorry Chris, was looking on some other web sites.

Well it looks like we will have Christian as cruise director on the EB. This will be my and Sean's second cruise with him, he was our CD on the 4 day Wonder in 2006.
Now I have sailed with Rachel (first DCL Wonder Cruise), Christian, and Brent, are there any others?

Yes, the english guy (can't remember his name) that is now quite high up in DCL and no longer a CD.

 

[millerpjm]

We also went to a fish boil that night...it's sort of a Door County tradition.

We all sit outside:

They take potatoes, onions, and fresh Lake Michigan whitefish, fresh caught that day:

and put them in this big kettle outdoors:

and boil them for a while....then add extra kerosene to the fire to make it boil over:

Then take out the food and we go in and eat!

fresh fish, potatoes, coleslaw, fresh breads, and cherry pie for dessert!

This is the place we went to for the fish boil:

hi heather. whats a e111??
is it a cinnamon red dress?

Sorry Mike and Jeff.

An E111 is a certificate that allows us to get free health cover when on vacation in Europe. It's part of our National Health Service.

Ok, just one more photo before I go...

Pete and I found one of the wineries that Victoria (Wine Diva) recommended, and did a wine tasting:

We had a lot of fun, and bought a couple of bottles to take home...
