11/14/09 - Special Western - 2 CC stops PART2

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning, everyone! Day shift, checking in.

Welcome new folks. Better late than never Too bad you missed all those months of fabulous exciting interesting conversations We've already filled one thread.

SO glad I finished and packed all the FE gifts, SM gifts, Kitchen box for DVC, evening clothes bag etc over the last 3 weeks. All I have to do is unplug and pack the computer, toss in my toiletries, and walk out the door. But please, keep the pixie dust coming! I see the pulmonologist on Thursday.

Happy day, all!

Linda - THANKS for starting the new thread!! I knew I'd miss the original one hitting page 250, and I was right.

Welcome and Congrats to those joining us for the cruise.

Ones less day till we depart.



Oh, it looks like we've got 3 people (including myself) that have been picked as hosts for the DCL House Party!!! Hopefully all of us will get our party packs before we have to leave for the cruise. There is myself, Tara, and one other person (sorry, I forgot your name).... is there anyone else in this crasy group that's been selected as a host???



Anyway, I'm going to be late for work now...... Oh well....

Good Morning! And another day closer. Didn't do much in the way of cruise stuff last night, just some general house stuff. David got the suitcases aired out and the don't smell (musty or febrezy) so that worked out well. I guess tonight I should cover Drew's bed again and be sure that I have what is needed and not more than what is needed (or maybe it is too late to change me at this point).

Linda - REST, rest, rest, rest - and then take a nap! Sending pixie dust and prayers for your steady improvement. That is all we can ask for.

Not much else happening - supposed to be nice today and tomorrow. Upper 50's and no rain. It would be nice to get the leaves up but I am not sure that will happen as they are still super wet.

Have a great day - I will check in later.

 

[TaiTai1]

Becky. Thanks for the great info. I'll PM you soon.

 

[LindaBabe]

I can now officially say - RESTING is highly overrated! I am bored! But, I can't actually DO anything because I have no energy.

Leaves don't appear to be happening here, either. My husband's got the blahs and doesn't feel anymore like going out there than I do, and I don't.

Snow is falling heavy in Denver-Can't wait for the sun on the cruise!

Thanks to all of you who have added last minute things we need for the cruise. It is very helpful.

Thanks to those of you who helped explain the FE and SM stuff to a newbie! What fun!!


So, since I'm new, am I missing anything?

1. Get (or make) a fish extender
2. Buy or make FE gifts
2. Make fun door magnets
3. Bring books for the book exchanges
4. Oh, and start packing now

My thoughts and pixie dust are coming your way to those of you need a little extra during this time! Everyone else, stay healthy!

Quick question-Any scrapbookers on this cruise? Do you have any suggestions for pages/ideas??

 

[Princess Momma X2]

Linda-That's what I'm bringing the DH for-he's my credit card!

Hope the resting is going well!

Quick question-Any scrapbookers on this cruise? Do you have any suggestions for pages/ideas??

On the scrapbooker's forum here, they have a thread on dcl scrapbooking. I haven't even really thought about layouts yet. I'm still working on my autograph/ journal book. I definitely scrapbook, but I've converted to digital right now. I would love to exchange ideas after the cruise. but I've got none so far.

Hey guys, dont forget to get me your new stateroom numbers if you havent already!!

We are going to try to connect the mini-nav to the spreadsheet.....I will keep you posted!

They have great kits on board as well - be sure to pick them up early in the cruise - they go fast.....

Taking the kids for the H1N1 shot this afternoon - figured we might as well get it now. DH is home sick but I don't think it's that specific flu...but of course, I'm not a doctor ... just a mom....

LindaBabe - take care of yourself!!

Finishing up my magnets, doublecounting the FE gifts and getting ready to send the boxes next week. The bed in the spare room is piled with clothes...I'm so looking forward to this trip!!!

Cheers,
Lisa

No snow here - yet anyway but they are predicting some this weekend. Hot dog! Just so long as it doesn't impede my drive to Grand Rapids next weekend, I will be OK.

Sounds like everyone is progressing with their preparations. Isn't if funny - we all thought we had tons of time and now it is right around the corner.

Linda - don't get up - you keep resting. You will need your strength to get to a chair on deck 4 or in Quiet Cove.

Time dragged horribly up until about 2 weeks ago and now it's flying by! We leave 1 week from today for WDW. I'm doing the FE gifts and travel notebook today. That pretty much wraps up everything except for packing, which I'll do most of this weekend.

I know, we are in panic mode already

Scrapper here! I've done a bunch of DCL albums, but they're all different. I second going over to the scrapbooking board in Creative Community and do a search for cruise pages. There are some really talented women over there.

Cruises are pretty easy to scrap - even in advance if you want to - because you have the same topics on every cruise - At port, the boarding photo, Parties (or each one individually), shows (or each one individually), seen around the ship, a page for each port or more if you do something interesting, FOOD or each restaurant, Palo, Dessert buffet, pirate buffet, then there are all the food outlets around the pool, SPA if you do that, bingo, galley tour, towel animals, sleeping on deck, pools, basically everything! A couple of my early cruises ran to two books! lol.

Gail I had a two hour nap this afternoon. will that do? I'll find the strenght to get to quiet cove!

I must say I am super proud of myself. I have all my little to-dos done and things are moving along as they should.

Good Linda. You behave and there may be a cup of coffee waiting for you in the cove cafe. And, in case anyone is wondering, I did bribe my children too!

 

[LindaBabe]

For coffee? I'll behave! I know I'm spending WAY too much time in here, but honestly, everything's done. Thank heavens. Because if I had waited until now, it wouldn't be getting done.

Gail, I think you lucked out in the kid department - they look like a great bunch.

XXCell, do NOT panic. Start with the highest priority and forget what doesn't get done.

Yes, they are good guys - if I do say so myself.

And NO ONE PANIC! Linda is absolutely correct. Plan your work and work your plan (yeah, that comes from scouts somewhere). Prioritize and do what you say every day and you will be ready when the time comes. While I don't like coming home to a messy house - so far I seem to have lived anyway .
If I get packed this weekend except for that last minute stuff you just can't do until the last minute, I will be a happy girl. Work will be crazy next week but - it is only 3 days so I should be able to manage that and then we are off Thursday afternoon after my beauty appointments (yeah, it takes several to make me presentable).

Linda - don't apologize for being here - we will keep you company as best we can. If you are really good - maybe coffee on each back!
