Hey there, hi there, ho there all!
I know, I know... I've been MIA. All I can do is apologize and beg your forgiveness. As KC mentioned, I quit my job. Now, I know that's probably not one of my wisest moves in this economy but he gave the OK so I jumped. I've always wanted to work for myself and this project was just the one to give it a try on. They have lots of stuff that they want now and more in the future so I know it'll be a source of ongoing work. And I'm going to pound the pavement, old-fashioned style, to drum up some more work. It's all about the relationships, you know... but that means that I have that much less time for the important things in life --- Y'ALL!!!!!!
KC, I asbolutely love your advice!!! A Dole Whip is soooooooo much better than all the psychobabble!!!! And any fear I have regarding striking out on my own will be more than overcome by the trepidation of facing Madame Leaota again. Or maybe it's inspiration from Carlos, the mayor in POTC who "weel not talk"! Or maybe it's just my tradition of arriving at the door of the Rose & Crown at 10:55 waiting for them to open up so I can grab a Bass and head back to the garden and call mom. (That's become a tradition for us... get a Bass Ale and head back to the garden to call mom... even better when the British Invasion is playing). Hey, maybe we'll get really lucky and you'll get picked to be King Arthur in the street play. Yeah, I know you wouldn't do it..... but a girl can dream, can't she?
Lisa - I didn't know at the time that I was going to squeeze in a WDW trip. This was a surprise to me. In fact, last night I told him I understood that money was tight and that if he was doing this just for me he didn't have to. I finally made him understand how hard that was for me to say and that I could only be expected to say it one time. Well, we're still going! LOL
Linda Babe - Pixie Dusters are the name I came up with for all the wonderful folks that are planning stuff to do on the cruise. These ladies are taking their home time to plan stuff so we can all have even more fun and if that ain't spreading the pixie dust I don't know what is.
Mousemom - yeah, he's definitely good at the motivation!
Also, I just saw your message from the 7th. Sorry I never got to answer the PM. I'm quite impressed with your plan and can't wait!!!!
What? Our children? Misbehave? Perish the thought!!!! Well, maybe mine... they're teenagers you know and that explains a lot. In fact, I heard that when you turn 13 God comes to you at night and unscrews the top of the skull, takes out your good brain, and gives you a teenaged one. I think it's at about age 21 when He comes back and reverses the process. Although I've heard it can be much later in life. I guess He just gets too busy to remember which brain goes with which person. But that's my teenagers. I've seen pics of y'all's kids and there's no way these perfect little angels would misbehave.
Good Lawd, Binky!!!! $3K for a ticket????? Is that one ticket or the whole family? Still, for $3K it'd better be the freakin' Brady Bunch!!!!!!
Big Jack.... I'll post updated info from the spreadsheet in the next post... that'll have the count as it currently stands. Of course, I'm guessing that we're going to add a few people as the cruise gets nearer so you may want to make a few extras.
I envy all you folks that have time to make FE gifts. With any luck at all, I'm going to stay so busy that I'll have to beg your understanding at a storebought something or other.
Michelle, did you get the PMs you needed from the pixie dusters? I'll PM you with a list of who all's doing what and you can PM anyone who's MIA (like me)
I'm getting excited over here! Only 184 days. That's just over 26 weeks!!!! Oh, guess what I found the other day! I found the left over Mickey heads from the Home Depot paint chips. On the last trip we put them on the back door and every morning I'd play the cruise horn and one of the kids would take down a Mickey head. I'm going to do this again but I have to see how many I have left. I'm sure I don't have 184, but I have to find out what I have. Surely KC wouldn't mind me using them up .... I mean, otherwise they'd go to waste, right? Right?
