Good morning, Nanas!
The cat doesn't understand the weekend sleeping later concept, so she starts crying about 5:00 every morning. Though I fed her and let her out, I still tried to go back to sleep. But, NO....................I have DCL thoughts and start thinking about dinner attire. I have everything listed, but I always take extra depending on my daily mood. Sometimes, I had planned to wear a nice dress, but then I hang out with a drink and change my mind. What's a nana to do???

I really don't want to overpack, but it's difficult. I always envision myself changing clothes for two events during the day. Puh-lease...that never happens!

So, I'm participating in the morning ritual...laundry in the washer and six cups of coffee with the newspaper. Did I mention that the cat is in my lap? Everytime she swats her tail, it head straight for my Disney coffee mug!

Hey, I have so many regular coffee mugs, but I only drink out of my four Disney ones. Judy and I both adore our supersized GF mugs with a beautiful rendering of the resort. AHHHH.... I need to get rid of the others, but I hate to lose my Santa mugs or the ones kids have given me over the years.

In just a few weeks, we'll wake up on the ship, have a massage, and lie around enjoying the Magic. Then, we celebrate formal night! I'm glad that it's early in our voyage so I can fit into my dress!

So, I'm gonna run and read the paper...Judy and I have our Sunday routine: Call each other to discuss the sales and then scream and laugh about the funny wedding announcements. Hey, sis, we should have saved the Phantom of the Opera themed wedding announcement! The nanas would have cracked up! Basically, this plastic surgeon took a girl who looked like she was straight out of the trailer and doodied her all up! New everything...just like Eliza Doolittle! They "performed" Phantom scenes and the wedding party had to participate.

We SCREAMED and laughed for days on that one!

Anyhoo...I'll talk to you later. Need more coffee! HOPE YOU
FEEL BETTER, JEFF!

Speaking of pizza, I watched the food network this morning and they were making a chocolate pizza. I know that is on some diet somewhere so I may try it tonight....
Off to the grocery to get ingredients......... check back later!

Yummy!!!

 

[Jaime]

Although these are not cruise pictures, I thought I would post a couple of pictures of Cassie's drawing. She did these with sidewalk chalk in our driveway. I can not draw a stick figure very well, so it always amazes me when she does things like this totally freehanded.

WOW...that is great!

 

[Jaime]

That was my thought last year. Thanks to our fabulous Nana tablemates, Jessalyn wanted to eat every meal with us (actually with them!!!! ). She didn't feel like she missed anything.

Okay I can see that being a problem with Kierra...she soean't like missing anything! Especially if she knows Jessalyn will be there maybe we could send them to the kids clubs together early during dinner.

 

[Jaime]

I'm with you. In fact, I'm counting on it. Maui and Disney Cruise Line are my two favorite travel things on earth.

Ok..so now *I'm* getting sick. At least it's not 5 weeks from now.

I hope you are feeling a little better...

How are you feeling Judy?

I am still sick and Kierra woke up last night sick...

We leave in 40 days I really hope everyone is feeling well by then!

Alicia is sitting next to me looking at pictures from her first trip WDW. Everything is oh wow...she is going to be so excited! She just informed me though that she wants a stroller...she said her little legs can't do all that walking

 

[Jaime]

If you have to ask "why", you probably can't relate
JK-It's all good........just can't believe 11 years ago today I was partying at our reception at the Yacht Club. Good times............

Yeah I do...it's been 10 years for us...I was in a hurry yesterday when I posted...when I read that post this morning and my answer I I am sure I'm loosing it...I guess it's all the excitement about going on our cruise so soon!

Are you dressing in full pirate costume...the girls just have t-shirts...capris...and accessories...Glen has a full costume...but I can't find anything...not sure what to wear...all the ladies pirate costume here show way to much skin for me

 

[Jaime]

Okay-for you guys who use Space Saver Bags: I seem to remember having purchased some a while ago. I had big plans for storage I think Anyhoo, should I be able to find where I've hidden them from myself; what do the clothes look like when you take them out? Do they need pressing? Do you send them out to be pressed?

Yes Shell, I know...........High Maintenance, but extremely loveable.

I use clear garbage bags...they work the same and cost alot less...I have only used them with heavier bulky items though...stuff takes up alot of space like sweaters, winter jackets etc...so I'm not sure if things would need to be pressed or not.

Good morning, Nanas!
I really don't want to overpack, but it's difficult. I always envision myself changing clothes for two events during the day. Puh-lease...that never happens!

I know I'll overpack...tried on outfits last night...but if I don't loose this 12 pounds nothing will fit by the end of the cruise

Hey, I have so many regular coffee mugs, but I only drink out of my four Disney ones. Judy and I both adore our supersized GF mugs with a beautiful rendering of the resort. AHHHH.... I need to get rid of the others, but I hate to lose my Santa mugs or the ones kids have given me over the years.

I only drink out of my disney ones too...the girls gave me a real nice one from wdw for christmas a couple years ago...it has all the characters...parks and the word mom on it...it's my favorite!

In just a few weeks, we'll wake up on the ship, have a massage, and lie around enjoying the Magic. Then, we celebrate formal night! I'm glad that it's early in our voyage so I can fit into my dress!

My dress stretches

Good morning all...
I see my twin is up and has posted already!!!
Thought I'd jump on the "spacebags" thread with a hearty endorsement! I have themin all shapes and sizes and use them! When Kayla went to Europe, we go SO much stuff in her suitcase, she has one of the smaller suitcases there-
I get the Non- vaccum type. The clothes come out great, I do not iron much of anything anytime, much less the cruise- ironing and laundry is the twin's obsession, I din't get that gene. I ameven thinking of sending things out to be pressed the first night, as so many posts recommend but I don't buy many things that need to be pressed! But I usually spacebag most of my cruise clothes when I pack.... easy to do and since I have been mentally apcking for months, I always take too much.
Looking at the ads this morning makes me want to Christmas shop but I think I will wait for the after THanksgiving sales... I get the ads about a month early... does anyone else? in you are interested on what's coming up here is the link...

Morning All, sorry I can't say good because its not for me.

Jeff, I actually had 2 drinks one in each hand and at the reception we had 3 tv's set up, we do take LSU football seriously down here. So there were about 90 of us in the bar area for the rception including the mother of the bride. I only had to use the radio during the mass.
Its a good thing I bleed purple and gold cause my biys sure did let ne down yesterday. Now sorry but I must go back to bed and hide under the covers

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning all,

Wendy, sorry about the game. Keep your chin up!! There is always next year

Just dropping by to say hello.
Thinking about going to a movie today but not sure yet.

I did watch the Magic pull out last night, anybody else watch it pull out??

Today it will be the Wonder pulling out.


Have a great day everyone,

Kathy

Ah, to live in Ohio today ...

 

[pgfour]

Nebraska lost too (sorry Cheri) And the Huskers don't look much better than my alma mater. Well. Of course they look better..just not much.

I'm sooooo glad I didn't waste my time watching or even following the score of that game! I had a funny feeling they'd lose. The beauty of being 500 miles from them is that life goes on!!! Now, in Nebraska, it could be quite dark today -- no sun for them!!! Mel, what's it lookin' like off to the west????

If they keep this up, it really frees up our afternoon on Friday before the cruise!!! I won't need to see them get slaughtered by Colorado!!

 

[pgfour]

Okay I can see that being a problem with Kierra...she soean't like missing anything! Especially if she knows Jessalyn will be there maybe we could send them to the kids clubs together early during dinner.

Now THERE's a plan!!!!!

 

[pgfour]

Also, I can't find ginger chews anywhere. Do I need to go to a health food store? I can't wear those Sea Bands.........they would totally clash with my thong bikini

I think I have some Motion Ease or something..................probably with my space saver bags

I couldn't find ginger chews last year either -- haven't started looking this year.

I did find some vile ginger tea that I drank a couple nights. Don't know if it actually helped, or if I just told myself I felt better so I wouldn't need to drink any more.

Last year I was queasy on the first night. Second night, I was also queasy, but I think it was from something I ate. So I engaged in some pre-emptive bulimia and I managed to have dessert that night!!! (I just skipped the rest of the meal. . .)

 

[woogal]

Yes, Cheri was MIA 3 nights last year. I'm starting to think it was the company that she was trying to avoid ...

You don't know how much it pained me not to be able to eat my fill!

Though, you would've been proud of me the night we were in Topsiders -- I woofed down that Porterhouse like there was no tomorrow!!!!!

Yeah, well that's what you keep telling me, but there really is no proof, is there?
