OK, Double dip cruisers! Here's our new thread.​

I was just getting ready to do the same thing but you beat me to it. Great minds think alike, huh?

we also will be on the cruise my DH, DS 8 and DD 5.

Hi-We are brand new to the site and so excited to be going on this cruise!!

Great to have y'all along. Don't forget to PM me with your google contact info so I can invite you to the spreadsheet.

Speaking of the spreadsheet, I'm sure y'all noticed I didn't get to summarizing the numbers yet. I'm going to do that this morning. I spent a wonderful day with King Charming driving around looking for houses. I feel much better now because most of the places we stopped I was able to say "yep... called about that one and it's $XXX a month". But there were a couple of new ones out in this one neighborhood that I keep being drawn back to. And we found a cute little house on a corner lot that has a fenced back yard and everything else. We called on Saturday about it and then yesterday just before KC was going to leave to head back to Tallahassee the agent called us so we were able to go look into it. The bedrooms are tiny but that's okay because each boy would have his own. It's a perfect little place!!!

Now I just have to go talk to the bosses at work and find out whether they're going to convert my contract-to-hire to hire or not. I can't sign a lease not knowing that I have a job. It's going to be a tough conversation (mainly because I know I'm not as technically advanced as they thought I was when we interviewed) but it has to be had. I sure hope it works out well. This would be an EXCELLENT place for me to learn all these technical details that I haven't learned all these years. But if it doesn't, now's the time to know. I'm pretty sure they're going to hire me on but the question is are they willing to pay enough to make the move worth it. We're still at a point where I can move back to Tallahassee if we need to. Being a HYPERMOMMY you know I'm fretting but I keep trying to convince myself to just leave it all in God's hands. I'm trying........

And then after the guys left I didn't get to the spreadsheet because I had an idea of what to do with my website and I worked on that. You should have seen how surprised I was when they called to let me know they were home okay. They made great time, yes, but I couldn't believe the time went by so fast either. Guess that's what happens when you're enjoying what you do, huh?

Did I get anything done on FEs or SMs or magnets for the door or any of that? Nope..... Guess I'll be hanging out at Kinko's the night before the cruise, huh? LOL

But I'm about to get the spreadsheet summarized in the next post so I'll be a good girl this morning.

Woot!!! Double woot!!! Triple woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there!

Something strange happened to the spreadsheet. Some of the totals were gone and some of the header columns had personal info in them (i.e., as if a person had put their kids names in the header column or something). I have a feeling that maybe someone filled out the original questionnaire thing (remember that... back when the spreadsheet was just a spreadsheet and not the Hydra workbook it is now?) and that google's program doesn't work as well as we thought it might with new information going in through the questionnnaire.

Anyway... I believe I've put things back to right and that these are correct numbers. To answer everyone's first question... no, the FE numbers were not messed up at all so these should be accurate as far as the info we have at this moment.

GLAD you found your way here, Denise. I was stalling hoping someone else would do it, but this morning I decided we were all probably waiting for you - and between the new job and the househunting it might be a long wait and perhaps you wouldn't appreciate the pressure of our expectations.

Cat scans at 12:30 today. Please send dust!

 

[big jack 2002]

I'm sending prayers your way (and some pd, too) I hope everything goes well.

Thanks for changing the thread, I saw that last night , but didn't know how to do it. I figured one of you Technically advanced people would be able.
Plus, I was celebrating just a little bit.

Plenty of prayers and pixie dust heading your way!!!!!! Please get back on asap and let us know how everything is.

Plus, I was celebrating just a little bit.

Denise-

Thank you so much for updating the spreadsheet. You have been such a busy person lately between househunting and the new job. Bet you can't wait to get on the ship.

Thanks for the well wishes, gang! I really appreciate the support. Since that's all I can think about until it's over, I'll get out of here, and not bore y'all, lol.

Oh One more suitcase zipped and ready for the staging area.

HI! Ok, I have tried to figure out what FE and SM's are. Sorry I am so green on this, just learning the ropes. Can anyone help me out?

 

[Princess Momma X2]

Has anyone done the Walk/Kayak excursion on Castaway Cay? We are signed up but thinking of chickening out since we're afraid we aren't strong enough and we've never been kayaking before. Hmmm, what to do?

 

[Woobie]

Woot!!! Double woot!!! Triple woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's the pbbbt icon? I'm not a baseball fan, but being from MA, I gotta route for the Phillies. Sorry.

Sending pixie dust for the cat scan. (I can't quote multiple posts).

Thanks for starting the new thread.

Anyone have any good last minute tips on cruise items to pack that will make life easier like the over the door shoe holder for the bathroom.

9 days until we leave for Wdw. 9 nights at Saratoga Springs before the cruise.
peace and relaxation to all.
