well you know our door is open.

I was just on mapquest, you are only about 410 miles from me, just a quick drive around the corner...........

The way my luck goes, that weekend we would have the blizzard of the century around here...........

I just now got off the phone with Susan the woman who is listed as the House Party host for our area. Susan said she and her DH are working on their guest list and said if there is room, they would add Hazel and I. Susan said she would be giving us a call once their guest list is completed. Susan said they applied to be a party host about a week before the deadline and were quite surprised when they received the e-mail informing them they were selected.

What's really funny is, I rode past Susan's housing development 6 times today, if we get invited, at least I know it won't be hard to find their house.......

OK, it's getting to be my bedtime, so I am signing off for the night.......

We are in the middle of a BIG snowstorm, blizzard like conditions through the night, 1-2 inches of snow falling per hour, guess I'll wake to alot of snow. It's just beautiful outside right now.

Night everyone,
good morning across the pond.

Janice,

Send some our way. We have rain and all the snow is melting.

Suz wants a white Christmas. I guess we're suppose to get 1"-3", but won't mind another good dump here. Oh well, enjoy the snow.

Hope Mark isn't working in it tonight or tomorrow.

I just had to get on and tell everyone that I just finished my scrapbook from the trip. I am so excited this was my first one and it is now done. Kind of sad at the same time but I have others I can work on.

 

[MinnMick01]

All of you having a white Christmas are so lucky. Northern AZ is actually going to have one this year. First time in about 15 years. But down her we are expected to be in the high 60's with clear blue skys. We got some more rain yesterday but only about an hour's worth.

 

[MinnMick01]

FO. I feel like I am stealing these things. I am not on very often and when I do get on I seem to always be getting one.

 

[MinnMick01]

For those of you that we were talking tatts with on the trip. Scott has figured out the one that he is going to get. Well at least the idea. It is going to be Stitch holding the Ireland flag and then MB next to it.

I just have to get up the courage to go get mine done. We that and I still need to find the perfect picture of Tink.

Just a quick update on my mother. Mornings have been really hard for her every since we all got on the ship. She was just thinking it was because she is not a morning person. She said that it is really tight in her chest until about mid morning. She would wake up short of breath. So she finally went and saw the heart dr. on Thursday. They hooked her up to the machines to get a read out of her pacemaker. They found out that it is working every single day multiple times. Now before the cruise it had not worked at all. The first day of it working was Oct. 20. Hmm the day we get on the ship. It starts working at about 4 am and stops around 10 am everyday. So they put her in for more testing and found out that she is flat lining in her sleep and then the pacemaker kicks in and starts her up again. This has been going on everyday. So the heart dr. has sent out for help from some heart institue and we are now waiting to see what they are going to do.

 

[MinnMick01]

Off to clean up my scrapbook stuff and then to bed.

I hope you are all doing well. I miss you all.


Oh Lori, pm me your address. I have the pictures of the girls to send you.

So is anyone doing a quite little Christmas at home? It will just be the 4 of us on Christmas this year.

Neils parents are coming over xmas morning, they leave and we go fetch my parents who stay for xmas dinner. Once we take them home early evening the rest of the day is just the three of us. I wanted to cook dinner being as it was the first in our new home.

I wish. I have to go to the Outlaws and Suz won't let me bring the Wii, even though everyone would have fun. That is the gift from Santa to the family..

Why dont you just pack it in the car? If it goes a bit boring you could always suggest you bring it in for a bit of fun

Karen, I got a $100.00 stateroom credit when I switched my ressie over to DU. I'm rather sure that you can switch your ressie to DU. I'll send you a PM with more info.

Thanks Andy - I got your pm.

I just transferred out our Repo cruise and got $400 OBC (cats 8-12, we're in 9). Cats 1-7 got $600.

I believe there was an area that asked for country when I was doing it.

Let me know, I can email you the email I got from them that had the link.

Was it dreams? Andy has given me an email address.

Karen! That is so cool! Ellis is going to be one happy lucky little boy!
Now did Santa do this or will this be announced as a gift from Mom and
Dad?

Well, Santa is giving him the toys, but the room is off us.

There were many Christmases that it was just Sean, my friend Emily and I.
Just Sean and I in the AM then Emily came for a quiet dinner, just the 3 of us.
After dinner we'd play a game, do a jigsaw puzzle or watch a movie together.

Boy do I miss that already!

Now that I'm spending the holiday with Bob's family, there are a few who are making things VERY difficult and uncomfortable and other's who like to loudly discuss or disagree (they say.... I say ARGUE!) at the dinner table!

It's making this Christmas very depressing for the both of us....
long story....... perhaps I'll share some other time, but...
man, I knew why I couldn't stand it when MY family used to get together!

And all those years that I wished that I had a boyfriend and family to share the holidays with.... well........

Gosh, now I'm wishing we were staying home and hanging out in our jammies and watching movies!

I envy those of you who are doing the small family thing and going to the movies!

Just count to 10 and ignore them all - thats the way I intend to survive 4 hours with my mother

Since they are an Internet company, I'll bet that they can handle International accounts. I got $100 OBC for transferring

$100 - I'll be transfering

picaso mouse?

my turn for Wii bowling. i got a 280 last game.

I cant wait to try ours out. - I can see us fighting over whose turn it is

We are in the middle of a BIG snowstorm, blizzard like conditions through the night, 1-2 inches of snow falling per hour, guess I'll wake to alot of snow. It's just beautiful outside right now.

Night everyone,
good morning across the pond.

Good morning - stay safe and warm in that snow

He left for work around 5:15, but called to let me know he made it fine.
The winds are just horrible.

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

It is just the three of us on Christmas Eve, I am working at least half a day so Ithink we will go to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and we'll go to church but have a quiet night at home I told Rachel we could even open presents Christmas Eve if she wants, that's what we did when I was a kid. Christmas morning we will watch the Disney Christmas parade on TV and we need to be at one of my sister's for our big family Christmas celebration at 1:00, there will be 35 of us together for that!

So is anyone doing a quite little Christmas at home? It will just be the 4 of us on Christmas this year.

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Karen please post pictures when the room is done and all set up with Ellis' presents! Thanks for posting the Santa link again, we're goingto have to check that out.

Mark went to work, but says now he shouldn't have been driving. Couldn't see the road, the drifts were over his truck tires, and snow blowing everywhere. What takes 10min to get to town, took at least 30 minutes, before he had one of the guys call to tell me he made it safe.
