Hi everybody...just checking in. No tattoos here.

Hi Melanie!

Hi all!!

Haven't been on this week due to crazy deadlines at my office - we're late closing Q3 due to a recent acquisition and the auditors are panicking...I hope we'll be done on Monday so I can finally focus on October close. AND stay up to date on the boards...I have my priorities straight. Aren't you all jealous you aren't living the fast-paced life of an accountant?

Kathy, hope you had fun at WDW!!

No tattoos on me...Devin has one, and I chickened out the one time I got close - we were in New Orleans with friends and only a few daquiries were factored in.

Jaime, I would like a camcorder for our trip - I'd love any good recommendations as you just got one (happy birthday, btw)...or from anyone else, for that matter. Everytime I start doing the research I just get overwhelmed and give up.

Went shopping on Friday for a dressy dress for the cruise for Miss Lily - she picked out a black & red plaid number with a matching purse & headband from Baby Gap - the purse was the clincher & I couldn't convince her to look at anything else after that. I tried on some new dresses too but I think I'll stick with one I already have. Oh well. BTW, Lily is so excited for the Oceanear's club - she can't wait. She was talking about it all day yesterday, and we watched the kid's section on the Disney Cruise video a couple times yesterday at her request. So there will definitely be at least one child in the club, if that entices anyone else's children! Oh, and she wants to go to the Mickey pool, so between the pool, the club, and the beach at Castaway Cay, I'm positive she is going to have a great time.

I'm off to the grocery store while Lily & Devin stay home and watch the Bronco's game (or the Lion's game, depending on your perspective). I'll check back in later!!

CHERI!!!!!!!!!!!!

HI BILL!!!!!

HI EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!

Cheri - it's too bad Jessalyn and Elizabeth won't be in the same group. Elizabeth loves playing with kids who are just a bit younger than her but the won't even be in the same club as Elizabeth is in the Lab while Jessalyn is in the club. My only caution to you is this. When We did the August cruise last year and Elizabeth was still 7, she did not like the Club as much as the lab - thought it was too "babyish" and she spent very little time there. We were worred on last year's nana head cruise but because she was in the lab and had met stacey in advance it all worked out. Now she just ASSUMES she is going to have a great time.

These are my worries, too! It looks like they've changed and added some different activities this year, so hopefully that will help.

I can't believe Tonya hasn't posted about our new "CAST" mate from her home . Well, you know me, I just can't spill the beans like that and BREAK a trust

Funny... you put it that way.

I don't have one, but DH got his first one last January when we were in Vegas. It's a hawk's head for "ruhaak" you'll all probably see it because it's on his arm. I let him get it before I mentioned how much it looks like the tiger eye and that it was really nice of him to support the hawkeyes that way...

At this point, I bet he's glad he didn't a Big Red "N"!!!!!!!

I'll bet Mina has a tattoo ... a great big one of a snake with rose thorns on her arm. You can't trust those quiet ones, you know.

She hasn't been reading the board much lately. I'll have to tell her to check it out today.
Maybe that will get her to post.

No tats here, either...can't see myself getting one. Though I'm a complete maniac...I'm pretty conservative...especially working in a school. Although I don't have a tattoo, I DO have a fake bellybutton! Top that!

It is THE MOST beautiful day...did laundry early, had a cheeseburger and fries at 9 with Judy...cruised Kmart and Sam's Club and bought a bunch of chocolate chips and pecans for holiday fudge and sugared pecans. I hate to come back from our trip and fight crowds to do everything.

Finally found some jewelry that has been lost since our last cruise! Crazy, I know...along with Sarah's charm bracelet, I found the flip flop and cruise ship charms I got last trip to St. Tommy. Hopefully, I can get those added before we leave.

Three weeks from now, we will have met each other, had mucho drinks, had a great dinner, had a massage, relaxed in the rain forest, and crashed by the pool. And, THEN, we'll do formal night! Cool.

For parents with small DD's, consider having flowers sent "by Tinkerbell" to your room. We did that for years with a card saying, "Remember the Magic" and the envelope reading Princess Sarah. Unfortunately, the pink baby tea roses are no longer offered. This year, I'm taking a tiny sparkly Tink green Christmas tree with small silver ornaments as a special surprise for Sarah. It was SO much more fun when she believed in everything.

OK, that's a bit creepy! Jeff & I posted almost simultaneously and in about the same color!!!!

Hi Mary Kate

Just me, K-Fed and Lindsay here now ...

Love,
Paris

What a great idea! I had a full basket delivered by Shirley on our first cruise but all that did was take up a lot of room. It was great and all but by the 2nd day I was regretting it as I had to move it around every five minutes. Love your idea though and will look into it.
