We will be cruising with all you on Sunday. We are a group of 10: 6 adults, 5yo, 15yo, 4yo, 8yo. I hope to make it up to deck 10 at 3 to say hello.
Also if you see a big group with a sleeping beauty, cinderella, and I believe a pirate, and someone with a Newport Fire Department shirt on that's us.
See you soon.

Hi Sophie, I'll add you to to the list of people going. It's on the 5th page of this long thread. Hope to see you on deck 10 at three.

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for your kind words. You have so much on your plates and are still willing to reach out. Thank you.

I hope your little Vito is doing better! Our daughter has asthma, also, and it can be scary indeed! If you can't get enough air, it is frightening! We had many trips to the emergency room with Rebecca, and we feel for you. We sure hope you, your husband, Vito, and Angelina are all well for this trip.

Today's scary happening was my father (82 with dementia, prostate cancer, and no mobility). He "forgot" he couldn't get around, and tried to get up from his chair and fell and hit his head on the tile floor. I spent the afternoon in the emergency room with him--over 50 stitches and a big scare. The CATSCAN said no concussion, but he sure looks miserable and has a horrible black eye. Worrying about hurricanes looks easy now!

We're still (with all that's going on) looking forward to meeting you all. God willing, we'll see you on Sunday.

 

[DiszyGram]

Michelle, I just saw your Pirate's night question. My two grandsons have the Disney Capt. Hook costumes that they will be wearing. My adult son has the adult Hook costume. I think everyone receives a bandana from the crew.

I made pirate decals on white T-shirts for my adult daughter and I to wear. I saw wench costumes for sale on Halloween but they just weren't "me".

 

[dvcersfromva]

Welcome, Sophie. We sure hope we have the opportunity to meet you and yours on Sunday at 3:00.

Aspiring Cindy, I'm not a teacher, but I've worked for a school division for over 12 years. I'm currently our division's textbook coordinator. I did work for our division at an elementary school for 9 years, and I still miss those kids! I hope you get free of all your germs and are totally well by Sunday.

Thanks, everyone, for the pixie dust and well wishes. God willing, we'll all be aboard on Sunday and have smooth sailing all the way through.

Anyone else starting to feel like this:

Tomorrow, after a full day of work I have to go waaaaay to the west side to my chiropractor, then waaaaaaay over to the east side to pick up clothes that are being altered and somewhere in the middle pick up some film I had developed and grab a new disposable camera (which I can't believe I didn't do tonight when I dropped off the film)! Also have to sneak in some time at work to laminate the door signs, and let's not even mention that I haven't printed my t-shirt design on transfer paper yet!

Here's how dumb I am......I forgot I can check in for the cruise Sat evening at POFQ at the DCL cruise desk!

Hi, sophielab1, glad you stopped by, and hope to meet you on Sunday. Oh lordy, that sounds so soon! 48 hours from now I'll be freaking out....and 60 hours from now I'll be on the plane!

I think I need to go lie down

Welcome sophie I hope you are able to stop by deck 10 at 3 and say hello!
Marybeth Sometimes don't you think enough is enough. I hope you Farther is feeling better. I think the circle of life is amazing . We start off needed so much care and so many end up needed the same later in life. Bruising to the face look sso horrible. I hope and pray nothing else goes on in your family.I am really looking foward to meeting you and giving you a hug in person How is your son doing?
Ibounce
I am feeling the same as you. I can't imagin how I will be done before Sat Night. But I know by Sunday afternoon it will all be worth it!
To All I know that alot of you have kept my DD Angelina in your prayers. Well amazingly yesterday her horrible cough just stopped and so did her runny nose. I think God was listening. Now if he could just bring her energy level back....

 

[DiszyGram]

I'm happy to hear your good news, Michelle. Looking forward to meeting you and your family. I know prayer does work. It doesn't matter what faith the person doing the praying has, the power of the prayer is the same.

Can't believe, 6 months after making the reservations, the cruise is only 3 days away. We are all flying down on Saturday so it's really starting in two days for us.

I had my pedicure and manicure yesterday. The toes look good but the nails were messed up shortly after I got home. They didn't like me using my hands to clean up my hose reels outside with them and bringing them inside for the winter. I'm just going to put clear polish on my fingernails, chips in that polish don't look as bad.

Hey everyone!
Just thought I'd check in to let you all know that my FIL came through his surgery okay. He's in a lot of pain, ofcourse, but he has already been to therapy this morning. Hopefully, the healing will start quickly. He'll still be in the hospital when we leave on Saturday, but we feel really good about everything.
I'm sorry to hear about everyone elses worries right now. We'll keep you all in our prayers as well. I know how hard it is to leave when things aren't "just right".
Jackie, I have ALOT of running around to do today and tomorrow, too! I have most of our things together (spread out all over the ping pong table). Now it's just time to put everything together!
I still need to find Millie some of those "earplane" things. I can find adult ones, but I can't seem to find the child size ones.

Sophilab1,
I'm so glad you joined us! It sounds like our kids are close in age - maybe they'll like to be in the club together!

See everyone on Sunday!!!!!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Hey everyone!
(spread out all over the ping pong table).

WOW, just had a flashback to my childhood. We had a ping pong table in the basement and it got A LOT of use for things other than ping pong It was great for spreading out fabric and cutting patterns and best of all it was set up as 'command central' for Christmas gifts and wrapping. In the post-Santa years all our presents were stored there under a sheet.....AND WE NEVER PEEKED! I became the designated gift wrapper, and mom would even box my presents and I'd wrap them myself.

Thanks for the flash-back!

It looks like I'll be able to sign the papers on my mortgage re-finance tomorrow!

See you all on Sunday.

 

[dvcersfromva]

Michelle,

We are so happy to hear that Angelina's problems seem to have diminished. We hope that Vito is doing okay now, too. Like I said, asthma is very scary. You are so sweet to send your well wishes to us when your issues are so powerful. I can't wait to give you and your family a big hug, too. Life is hard, true? But thankfully there are little things along the way that make it all worthwhile. We're looking forward to seeing you Sunday!

 

[michelle9343]

Hello all
I just wanted to say our trip offically started tonight... We were taken out to dinner by Angelinas wish coordinator. She gave Angelina a bunch of "Disney" gifts already. Had a bunch of balloons and a huge picture of Minnie at the table. She also made it even more special by inviting our neighbor who introduced us to Make-A-Wish. Anyway I have our Docs and they surprised us, A limo will be picking us up!! My son is so excited.
Marybeth Life is definetly harder then I every could have imagined!
DisznyGram I can't beleve it is already hear. Just think when we get back the holiday rush is fast aproaching...
Ibouncetoo
I can't wait to meet you. You already crack me up
Still have a ton of packing to do and really need to get focused..
Can't wait to see you all.....

 

[DiszyGram]

I just washed my 16 year old, 4 1/2 pound Yorkie Poo, Gizmo, to get him clean before taking him to the vet for boarding. I don't want to show up with a stinky pup and he did stink. He's old, cranky, pretty much blind and deaf, but he is my baby. No one in my family wants to watch Gizmo since he tends to do his "business" where ever he is when he needs to.

Giving him a bath...I prepare first by setting up a playpen with four locking gates and line the bottom with towels. I get out his shampoo, another towel and plug in my blow dryer. I have a small sprayer on a hose that I screw onto the faucet in my laundry room stationary tub. It's deep and he can't escape from it. He has a small doggy door to the outside so I have to close it or he will sense I'm up to no good and escape into the yard.

I get Gizmo backed up into a corner and drape the towel around him to pick him up. He is no longer happy about being picked up and wants to bite the hand that feeds him.

After I put him in the tub, he starts his pitiful dog act, trying to climb out. I get him wet all over, reducing a fluffy black dog to something skinny and sad looking. He gets shampooed all over and rinsed off. I pick him up with a towel and put him in the playpen. Gizmo tries to find a way out while I aim the blow dryer at him. He can't get away from the warm air. He is a very happy dog when I release him and seems to like being clean again.

 

[chickie]

That's a funny story, DizeyGram! I hope Gizmo does well at the vet this week. I just took our puppy, Bailey, to my mom's house. She'll stay with them for the week. Boy, that's as hard as leaving a kid at home. We've only had her about 3 1/2 months, but I am very attached. And she's attached to me too. I hope she does okay. She loves my mom and dad, so she should do well. I am really going to miss her, though.
I tried to get my Southwest boarding passes online this morning,but it wouldn't let me. We'll just have to check in at the terminal tomorrow. I called them, but they said for some reason, the program wouldn't let me do it. Bummer! I was hoping to get an "a" boarding pass, so we could be closer to the front of the plane. As long as we get to sit together, we'll be okay.
Everything's ready to go!!!
See you all on the Wonder!!!!!!
Happy travelling to everyone!

 

[DiszyGram]

Hi Jackie, our plane leaves at 2:05 pm tomorrow and I was able to download all 7 of our boarding passes today at 2:05. We are all in the A section. My son and family should be able to get on even earlier since my granddaughter will be three. She turns four the next day, on the cruise.

I had my boarding passes lined up on my computer and nearly had a panic attack because my printer wouldn't start printing them. I finally found a spot where I could ask my computer to find the printer, and it did! Don't know why it couldn't find it at first, it's sitting right next to the monitor. (Dumb blonde joke. )

 

[ibouncetoo]

Got my boarding pass printed this morning too! I'm just cleaning up my desk and getting ready to head out early....I AM going to sign my refinance papers this afternoon and have a LONG drive to get there, so I got the OK to split at 2PM. YEAH FOR MY PALS AT WORK!

My tummy is in nots......the travel/excitement kind. I'm having birthday dinner tonight at Claim Jumper with sis and brother-in-law...then it's about three hours of packing. I KNOW, I've been pulling stuff together for weeks, and the clothes portion should go fast. I know I'll just be sitting on my bed, re-thinking, small purse, back pack, large Disney tote????? Hope there's room to throw in my Tigger sweatshirt...in case I want a midnight stroll on the deck.

Golly, some of us are already there, you know....those lucky dogs.

See you all on Sunday!

I started a happy birday thread for Ibouncetoo on the CB in the b'day section..

 

[ibouncetoo]

Oh geffric, you're so sweet! See you next Thursday at Pop Century!
