Ok, the photo WAS rotated in photobucket...oh well. Count me among the not-so-computer-literate!

Ok, I just have to share this....wasn't going to post it yet - crazy lady getting cruise stuff 19 months ahead of time, but....

I got my own personalized fish extender! I'm so excited!

I may have to use it for something else until then, so I can look at it often...

That's really nice Jen. Did you get it from Ebay like Becky? The Ebay seller has really hit on a winning formula. Plenty of people want a Fish Extender.

 

[millerpjm]

Hiya Jen..we're DISsing at the same time..how are you this afternoon/late morning?

I'm good...just starting to play around with designing some t-shirts for DS and for the cruise. I think I posted before that I'm going to make the cruise t-shirts early and give them to my family for Christmas, so I'm starting to play around with ideas.

How about you? I know you have a cruise before BOB...are you getting excited yet?

It is from the same person as Becky's. She's also a DISer...so she knows lots of people want one.

The quality is really nice too...she did a great job!

 

[millerpjm]

Ok, I hear the natives getting restless (DH and DS)...have to go see what's going on....be back soon I hope...

Edited to add....all ok here...

We are Jen...we'll I am.

I'm currently waiting for our copy of the new Passporter to arrive and some of the other DISsers on the D.S have received their cruise packs...so should have that soon from AllSeasTravel.

We also have our 4 day inauguaral cruise to look forward to at the beginning of May and thats just over a month away.

You'll have to give us a review of the new Passporter's! I figure it's too soon to buy an updated copy now - maybe they'll have 1 more edition before BOB, but I might break down. I'd like to see if there's a lot of changes, or if it's mostly the same info.

Which line are you sailing for the 4 day cruise? I don't think I remember your itinerary for that one, but an inaugural cruise sounds so exciting!

 

[millerpjm]

Andy, that is SO neat! Love the litho and pins...

Below are a few pics of the litho and pins our DISfriends gave us last evening, we were so touched that they thought about us during their recent cruise. Hazel and I are heading to AC Moore to get a frame for the litho this afternoon.

Well, my DS slept in until 6:30, which is sleeping in for him...but none of us are even dressed yet! LOL....

I have managed to ge a load of laundry in, and I've been playing with my printshop software. I've designed a Lilo and Stitch image to make DS a t-shirt so I can try out this HP transfer paper. The directions are different than the Avery paper - you don't reverse the image, then after you print and trim the image, there's a backing you peel off and lay the image down face up, then iron with a piece of tracing paper (included) over the image.

I'll probably have the t-shirt done later today or tomorrow - I'm washing the shirt now. I'll post a pic when I get it done, as well as a review of the hp paper (Cass was interested).

Is this paper for dark color clothing? Sounds like the directions for that type of paper that I have for dark color clothing.

Very Nice!!!

OK, looks like we are getting ready to head out the door. Going to AC Moore, then to Party City as Hazel found out that the special, green and white Class of 2008, party supplies are now on the shelves. Lina's HS graduation party is only three months away............

We also have a $5.00 off coupon for Friendly's, guess where dinner is tonight?

Speaking of animals..Candy is not well.

Mike took her to the vet yesterday while I was working. The vet said, first she needs to lose weight. Then she needs to "move it or lose it" She gave her a cortisone shot and an extra pill to take. Then she saw her get up and walk.

She got tears in her eyes and said forget about putting her on a diet. Her right front leg is bad. She said she could take an xray, but it will either show she has torn ligaments or cancer.

The receptionist said as he was leaving. "just keep her as comfortable as possible." We really don't know how long she has. She still gets perky ears when I come home or say "Do you want to go for a ride" But she wines once in a while and can't walk very well. Those extra pills seem to be helping a little.

She'll be 11 in July. The vet said labs live to be about 10 to 12 years. When you calculate her breed and weight, she is 13 yrs old.

I'm so sorry to hear about Candy Putting our dog Tzar down in 2005 was one of the hardest things ever. We're still not over it, we both broke down and were balling our eyes out during that stupid movie I am Legend.

I'm sorry she is in pain and that you guys have to go through this, it's tough. Here's some for all of you!!!!!

 

[goofyfreak]

Hey everyone. We just got home from church and are fixing lunch. I am planning on cleaning the house today. It is really chilly here. 3

Robin, sorry to hear about your doggy. to you.

 

[disgrits]

Just a quick check in from MG.

Thanks for all the B-day wishes for my dad.

We're trying to get the house in tip-top shape for the Stag party in two weeks and the wedding in three but our flooded basement is taking precedence. We rented 2 super-duper fans and it's like a wind tunnel down there.

This is the third time our basement was flooded in the 7 years we've lived here. It's not just us, but the entire neighborhood that is at risk everytime we have a huge thaw out. If you look up and down the road today you see nothing but sump pump boxes laying out by the garbage.

Hugs and "Dust Stuff" to all the BOBers and BOBapets who need them.

This is what I used for KK1. Not hard to work with at all.

I wasn't able to post a pic of our dog when everyone was posting pet pics, so here are a couple. This is Moose; we got him at a shelter in Salinas, CA. He is a mutt. What breeds do you think he has in him? The shelter had him listed as a Sharpei/Chow mix--two breeds that I would say he most definitely does NOT look like.

Here is Moose eyeing Rob's ice cream sandwich.

 

[disgrits]

Well, since I've killed the thread, I'll go do chores.

Will do Jen. We are sailing on the Independence of the Seas (RCL). We sail to Cork, Ireland.

Yum, yum...love their food especially the ice cream.

I sure hope you mean your DS will be 9 on the cruise and not your DH.....

OOPS! I'll go back and edit!

Good afternoon everyone! Just hanging out at home. We had a potluck at church and I ate too much. Now I want a nap.

Right now I am procrastinating about grading essays and doing lesson plans.

It's chilly here today, too. A good day to stay in and snuggle.

I just realized last night that I have all these plans for the DC cruise in May but we haven't gotten any info or tickets! I'm calling the company we won the trip from tomorrow!
