Yes, indeedy, DVC members can try out the new Stitch attraction on Nov. 5, 6, and 7 as well...unfortunately we don't arrive til the 12th. Bugger!

Heather we are both doing ok, just bruised, stiff, and sore. But we'll survive and should be A OK before vacation time.

Are you more excited to be coming back to the states or going on the cruise? Can you compare the 2? Have a safe trip home, I don't think any of us can take much more bad luck before vacation time gets here.

So glad you are ok...and hopefully resting those sore bodies!!

Gosh, it's a toss-up for which event I'm more excited about! I think I"m actually more excited for the cruise. The daunting move is just too stressful....we'll be living with family temporarily and then shifting back and forth between PA and upstate NY...just overwhelming.

Ahhh, November is near!

PoohJen - before you panic about John's birth certificate not having a raised seal, turn it over and see if there are indentations in the back. You can't see my raised seal unless you look at it this way, so it's worth a try.

Did everyone else find their birth certificates?

Susan (and Rachel) - I'm glad to hear that you are both doing okay and that you've gotten a new car already. Surely the insurance company didn't move that quickly. If they did then I would love the agent's name and company! Insurance companies are usually so difficult.

TaraBelle - YEAH!! on the upgrade. I'm glad to have some one down in steerage with me. Don't feel bad though, I'm still waiting for my documents too. Maybe they are waiting until the last possible moment to try and give us even better rooms. LOL

disbigkid - so glad you're on the way back to PA. Everything must be crazy right now with packing and planning. Good luck!

adisneymama - how is Aubrey's eye doing?

One question about the Stitch attraction. I had heard the it was the same thing as the Extraterrestial Alien thing. Is it? Or is it just in the same building? I'll anxiously be awaiting everyone's reports.

Okay, off to try and de-skunk some more of my house. Maybe it's just me but, I still feel like I can smell it everywhere. :crazy

Greetings from Chicago!!! Jeanna and Vicki, beautiful city y'all have here. I got in this afternoon, walked along Navy Pier. Much like Boston's Quincy Market/Fanuiel Hall (doh! can remember how to spell that!), but bigger. got a little Coney Island thing going for it too. Any way, lovely day! Weather here much better than I left it in Va!

So Linda, done with your science experiments...?

Have a good week, y'all!

 

[house_of_princesses]

Jen, I didn't know you were coming to our fair city! (If I did, I forgot. ) Are you alone or with family? If you were alone, you should have let us know....today would have been a beautiful day to play tour guide! (I love playing tour guide.)

We're supposed to go to the Aquarium tomorrow (Monday), but Zib has a slight fever tonight. We'll see how she is in the am.

Hope everyone is sleeping well... I have work to do now.

Well, after looking EVERYWHERE for my BC and finding everybody else's BC's except mine, I broke down and bought a new one. And THEN I find the place where my DH put all of our "important" papers. (He forgot where he put them!! ) Not one but two copies were in the folder!!! Oh well, at least I'm prepared now!!

Thanks!!

I've read a couple of posts on Stitch. Seems it's very similar to the Alien thing....same seats with the over the shoulder bars, Stitch is in the center, etc.

Hope your de-skunking is working!! Maybe you still smell it because it made it on to your clothes!

Hope you all have a good Monday!

 

[KyCruisinSusan]

Jeanna, have you reported your weight loss to Dad yet?

If you didn't lose anything this week it means I'm in the lead. woohoo for the moment anyway.

You better get your butt in gear. I'm doing this challenge for you to keep you motivated. Step away from the buffet. LOL

I fully expect you to reach goal before I do, SO STOP EATING BAD STUFF. You only have 3 more weeks, YOU CAN DO IT.

Tina,

That's so funny about finding the birth certificates. I do that kind of thing all the time. We ordered a new one for DH and then found his original too. Well, better overprepared I say. I bought a nice little necklace for my 6 year old daighter to wear at dinner on the cruise and "put it away" so I could surprise her with it onboard and of course I can't find it now. She loves to dress up!! Maybe I'll come acrosee it while packing.

Hope everyone has a great day.

 

[mrsmg]

Gee, everytime I don't check in for a day or two so much happens!!
Rocadonismom- Sorry about your skunk incident, we have two dogs also and I can't imagine having to deal with that!
Congrats to Jeanna and Susan for your weight loss! My DD who is also coming with her son and husband had a different point of view. I think someone else on the disboards mentioned it once before but my DD figured it's better to stretch your stomach so you could eat and eat! Unfortunately she did just that and went up two sizes!! Now she can't fit into anything she bought for the cruise. She's been asking to barrow shorts and pants from her "heavier" friends.
Adisneymama- Hope Aubrey's eye is better! That sounds painful!

 

[adisneymama]

OK, I got knocked off the notification list again! UGH!

Aubrey's eye is almost healed. Thanks for asking. I am so glad I don't have to put those drops in her eyes anymore. She hates it!

We have all of our birth certificates. Hope everyone else has thiers.

Ok, I can't remember anything else I read, so I'll check back later.
Have a good Monday.

All done! 1 bottle of Fairy Tale Cuvee' equals 6.5 servings of champagne. I think. I did have a little headache on Sunday, though.

After studying my packing list, DH thinks we need another large suitcase. I think he may be right! So we'll be out shopping for another suitcase this coming weekend.

18 days!!!!

Hi All!!!

Are we chatting on this Tuesday? I have not been able to chat, I have been very busy with work/soccer/birthdays/Anniversarys, ect...

Today is DD Samantha's Birthday

Tomorrow is DH and my Anniversary




Susan ~ I am SOOOO sorry about your accident, I am very glad you are OK!!! Congrats on the new car

Rocadonismom ~ WOW skunk, that is a real bummer. We have two dogs and one is a beagle that likes to go after EVERYTHING, including skunks!!! I have been there. That smell (the oils) stick to everything. I called my vet and he gave me something to get rid of the smell.

Weight loss...I have lost a total of 12lbs and I am very happy. I just haven't had time to send the info to "Dad"

TaraBelle ~ Congrats on the UPGRADE!!! , That's great. Nothing like a little more room!!

OK, I think that is all for now. It seems I miss a couple of days and I am backed up 4 pages...

 

[KYCruiseCrazy]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Samantha and HAPPY ANNIVERSERY. SUSAN IS OK THE CAR IS TOAST. i cant wait til our vacation. cya then

 

[KyCruisinSusan]

Happy Birthday Samantha, Happy Anniversary Tracy

I am ok for the most part. My left knee is a mess. My entire leg, below the knee is twice as big as my right leg below the knee.

They didn't xray it in the emergency room. The ER doc said if I could walk on it, it wasn't broken.

I do have an appointment tomorrow afternoon with my family doc. I need to know if I need to be standing on it for 13 1/2 hrs a day. I'm due to go back to work on Wednesday. If they tell me that I need to be off work then thank God I have short term disability insurance.

Got the police report today and it was a head on collision. The man I hit "failed to yield the right of way". I spoke with his insurance company this afternoon and they told me that he admitted full responsibility. Also found out via the police report that he is 65yrs old. I never would have guessed that from looking at him.

Sooooooooooo now I'm playing the waiting game. When will insurance pay off, and what kind of settlement will State Farm be willing to make.

Brush up on your injury law Jen, I may need to ask you some questions. LOL

 

[TaraBelle1069]

Random thoughts coming.

"The Incredibles" opens before we sail so it'll be playing on board. "National Treasure", the new Nicolas Cage movie, is a Disney movie and opens November 19th. That's CC day, right? Will it open that day?

I found someone on another thread who had posted saying they got an upgrade from cat. 12 to a 10...1069. I think I may have found my connecting neighbours! Not sure when they are sailing (no countdown clock). I asked but who knows if they actually want to find their neighbours in advance!! Family with two kids ages 4 and 5, I think.

I re-lost one of the two pounds I gained two weeks ago last week. Hoping things speed up now as some of my cruise wear is a little snug!

PoohJen...did you get any advice about your birth certificate?

That reminds me...I really should be packing now rather than posting!

 

[Hannosmom]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAMANTHA!!!

 

[Hannosmom]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, TRACY!!!
