11/24/07 We are Better Than Leftovers!!! Nana Head reunion Part 2

[pgfour]

Hi Jacob. I'm your dear Auntie Woo. The next time Mom & Dad give you grief about doing chores, just use this on them:

I'm your average ordinary everyday kid
Happy to do nothin', in fact that's what I did
I got a million ways to make my day
But daddy don't agree
Cause when I try to get away
He says he got plans for me
"Get your butt right out of bed"
Stop buggin' me
"Get up and move your sleepy head"
Don't shake my tree
He said "Mow the lawn" - who me?
"Walk the dog" - not my style, man
"Take out the trash" - no way
"Tidy your room" - c'mon get real
Sorry dad, gotta disappear
Let's get the rock out of here!!!

(Bob, you lurking? Name that tune!)

It's almost tooooooooo easy!!!!!

No, otherwise he would have charged last week for sure!!

This is actually a vow renewal type of deal so it's only a few hours in the evening, not so bad as a regular wedding. He's got weddings 5 weeks in a row so I think he's getting a little wedding-ed out!

I went to see "The Bourne Ultimatum", I know, it's been out for a while, but I hadn't been to a movie since July! It was a nice break!

Hopefully the compensation makes up for all the time involved.

How did you like the movie?? I read all three "Bourne" books in college and then re-read The Bourne Identity right before the movie came out -- BIG mistake!! Now that I've forgotten many of the details again, I should be able to watch all three movies!!!!!

Hey, thanks for the info about my Budget rental car vs. Radisson question...we won't get to the hotel until probably 7:30pm so we would be waaaay down on the shuttle list...I want to be a number 3 at the port so I think we will do the rental car thing and not the taxi...thanks!!

Well, off to finish the few things I need to do before the suprise party for my sister in law's 60th b-day starts. My kids did a great job at cleaning my house!!---maybe I should have surprise parties here more often

OK, this south beach diet thing has stalled...what am I doing wrong????? If I plan to eat like a hog in November, I need to get rid of about 10 more pounds...maybe I should talk to Paris, Linsey, or Nicole??

Have a good one..."please don't let me eat birthday cake"-everyone say this outloud so the voices in my head don't convience me "just one little taste won't hurt you"

Lindsay suggests focusing on liquids!!! If you can chew it, it's not good for you!

Ken is still working 16-18 hour days and then is up all night with severe leg muscle cramps...dehydration will kill ya. The first time this happened, I became completely hysterical...with LAUGHTER when I was trying to explain about having a baby and having contractions. Obviously, it was totally the inappropriate time to crack up, but, too late, it was 3 am and I was punchy. Couldn't recover, even as I rubbed Flex All on his legs. It was so funny, that Ken was even laughing between contractions.

So, to make up for it, I gave my lovely DH muscle relaxers (I highly recommend going to Mexican pharmacies on the Western cruise). And, since DH is a foot taller than I, I gave him two. Seemed reasonable. EXCEPT that he had to pull over at McDonald's the next morning on the way to work. HE FELL ASLEEP AT THE DRIVE THRU WINDOW WAITING FOR HIS FOOD! The poor lady working the window kept saying, "Sir, Sir!" and thought he was dead. So picture him sleeping in the parking lot for 45 minutes trying to recover. it makes a great story now, but he wasn't in the mood for laughing that morning.

That is way too funny! (Once again, glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that!)

Alright...Dairy Queen here I come!!! Banana milkshakes or maybe Rita's water ice??? aahhhhhh

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

question for you guys,

I have heard two things and now I am not sure which is correct, so hopefully one of you INTELLIGENT, SMART, people can help. Never mind, I want to get a few answers so just anyone can answer, not enough intelligent smart people around today

The porters who take your checked bags upon arrival, do they get paid a wage plus tips or just work for tips only???


I had always heard it was tips only but now someone has told me they get a wage and it is posted at the port. I have never seen such a sign. Do any of you know or sure if they are paid a wage or tips only???

Thanks,

kathy

Nice Picture! Now I am really excited! Christmas and Disney!

Did someone post Mrs. Claus did a story reading on last years cruise? When was it?

Last year, it was at 10:00 Wednesday & Thursday nights.

Oh, and I suppose just because my ticker is BROKEN that Britney doesn't know anything about losing weight?

Kathy-I'll see if my handy dandy PP has anything in it...........

I guess no one has ever sent a box ahead of time
No one taken two way radios?

Shell-did you have a loooooooooooong dinner?

Wendy-Where the @!$% are you?

Christine-Have you ever seen anyone famous in Vegas? Tell us who

 

[mruhaak]

Wow, now I know what I have to look forward to when I hit 40

Yeah....ah... me too...

Good thing I only turned 29 this year.

 

[mruhaak]

Cheri-I enjoyed the "Bourne Ultimatum", I'm not sure I've actually watched the other 2 movies completely, but I was still able to follow it anyway. It has a lot of that camera motion going on though and I kept having to look away because I was afraid I was going to get a migraine. I got my first one this past July watching Harry Potter.

to everyone having birthdays! Wow September is really a big birthday month. It's all those babies conceived when it's cold in January I guess!

We are still undecided on the studio at the mall but are leaning towards... no. We may just run some special promtions out of the studio we already have.

Kathy- I don't know the answer to the porter question. Maybe somebody else does?

I can give a little diet advice for those who want it, I've lost about 65 pounds since giving birth to Jackson last June. I highly recommend sparkpeople .com. They even have a disboards team there so I'm told.
Basically- watch what you eat and exercise, exercise, exercise. They have a lot of great information on eating, I was surprised to learn how many calories were in things that I thought were not bad. And also good ideas for exercise. And it gives you a way to track both should you chose to. Ok... that's my "sales pitch" for the day.
Here's a link to my "spark page"

Bill- Loved the pirate jokes.

 

[mruhaak]

Kim-
We did take 2 way radios last time. They didn't work very well on Castaway Cay, I don't know if it was it was "user error." or if they really don't work there. We'll probably bring them again this time, but we seem to have lost our charger so we have to find that first!

Also, a lot of other people have two way radios so sometimes you get to listen to other people trying to find each other a lot.

I was considering sending a box of diapers ahead, but I decided it's too important that it gets there... so I'm just going to bring them myself.

 

[cruisemutt]

Melanie????? You feel ok? You actually liked the pirate jokes? uh...... oke doke.... we'll get along fine then....(please dont tell her that those were really really really, have I said it enough....really really bad jokes....).

Mutty Youngman...

Remember... I spend a lot of time with a 4 year old!

 

[Jaime]

Good Afternoon Everyone!

It's a windy but sunny day here today...we are having a lazy Sunday...making crafts with the girls...we might make some magnets for our door today.

I second Melanie's idea about sparkes people. I used there site for the first time two weeks ago and only used it for a few days...I wanted a way to monitor my food intake...the site is fablous and provides a balance diet plan if you want one...I entered everything I ate for two days and realized I wasn't getting enough healthy fats in my diet. So I added some flax seed to my my meals and lost 2 pounds in a week eating the same food.

My dd's loved the pirate jokes they are telling them to everyone

 

[mruhaak]

Jaime- I think we're gonna get along great! I started out tracking my food. I no longer do so. Now I use it primarily to track my cardio and to chat with other people struggling with the same issues.

Tracking my cardio on there really keeps me motivated. I'm kinda weird that way I like to see the numbers. So I've been keeping track of home many "miles" I log since May 1. Kind of a fun little deal to see how far I can get. I'm up to about 360 miles. How far is Castaway Cay again?

I'm working today. Can you tell. Because I'm working so hard!!! I think maybe I should just go home!

 

[cruisemutt]

Remember... I spend a lot of time with a 4 year old!

Woo says that sometimes too....no clue what shes talkin about ....we have no kids and Guidos 16. Go figure......

Well... you may have noticed before that I've referred to my "3 children...." Jackson's 1, Alex is 4....

And it's really good for me that DH spends all his time on "Proforum photography website..."

Well.. I've done enough damage here at work today. I'm heading home!

Oh, that was good, gf! You know my pain ...

 

[woogal]

)Shell-did you have a loooooooooooong dinner?

Huh??? Hey Britney ... I called and left you a message at like 5:30 and NEVER got a call back! I called again today and got your voice mail! Y'know, the PURPOSE of HAVING a cell phone is so that people can get in touch with you!!!!
