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

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Ok,
I guess I will have to come up with a question this time since I havnt heard back from you guys.
Although I'm sure your just busy with work or family.
I on the other hand dont work outside the home and my family is all grown up, so here I am on the

What is your favorite TV show?

Who is your favorite TV personality?

I only really watch 2 shows, Monk and NCIS.
They are tied for favorites.

I dont think I really have a favorite TV personality. I cant really answer my own question I guess I could say Peter Falk as Columbo, Tony Shaloub as Monk. Usually I like comedians, but just keep drawing a blank!!
Guess there really isnt much on for me right now accept old reruns

Have a great afternoon,
Kathy

Good morning,

Deana, glad you had a great weekend. Good luck on ebay, I hope you get the scarf. I won't even look at ebay for fear of me being out of control with bidding. Too many Disney things on there that I would just have to have.

I know about World of Disney, we were only there for a few minutes last month so I really didn't get to look at all the pirate stuff. I am trying really hard to get there in September for my Wedding anniversary. Don't know if I will be able to afford it since we are going to Hawaii Looks like I will just have to stop shopping

My favorite TV show is Friends, even though they are all reruns I still love it. My husband and I quote from it all the time. When we were on the cruise last Dec our room host said hello Mr. Joseph every morning and that reminded us of an episode were Ross and Rachel get married so the entire trip we would say "Good Morning Mr. Joseph, Well Good Morning Miss Rachel Well is was funny at the time. I also love American Idol, Sorpanos (although this season was kind of disappointing) and Nip/Tuck (wow, I watch a lot of televison)

I guess TV personality would have to be Jennifer Aniston in Friends, she was so funny

Hey, it finally rained here and it is so humid now but it went from 100 to 80 so I guess that's a good thing.

I just called DCL hoping that maybe the prices have gone down. No such luck the prices are still the same. Oh well, I will keep trying. There are only 5 more Catagory 3's left so I know there are more people out there coming with us. Come on everyone, don't be shy we won't bite

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Guess we are finally getting your Vegas weather!!
They just said that with the heat index we will be over 100 this weekend!!
Wew were going to go to Epcot to see a Flower Power concert this weekend with Peter Noone and Hermans Hermits,( giving away my age ) but i am not going to an outdoors concert in that heat. They are in the evening, so it will be HOT!!!

Anybody got any plans this weekend??

I think we will just hang out by the pool and try to keep cool!!

Maybe do a couple of little projects around the house too.

Have a good day everyone!!

Kathy

Hey everyone,
i want to pick your brains a little.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just read a thread where someone is trying to make up clues for a scavenger hunt for her kids on board. I thought my GKs would enjoy something like that in August when we go.
Nothing to physically take , just clues to find places on the ship. Her example was something like, You have to walk the red to find the gold. Meaning to walk the red carpet to get to the Golden Mickeys show in the WD theater. You get the idea??
At the end I will have a small pirate chest for each of them with a few goodies in it and some spending $$ for the islands . Now I am trying to figure out clues, any help would really be appreciated!!!!! The kids are 12 and 15 so they should understand most clues by themselves.


Thanks,
Kathy

Wow, that is hot weather you're having Kathy especially with all the humidity. It's over 60% today and we are just dying. The news said you were still having problems with fires too. I can't believe how dry it has been there. We got hit by a couple of pretty intense storms last night but I don't mmind them because we don't have too much exciting weather here. pretty much the same everyday.

I will try to think of some clues for you. That sounds like a lot of fun of the kids.

Been busy today, just bumping us up to the first page. Have a good weekend everyone

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

I have been trying to post all day. When I hit reply it just gives me a blank page?? Earlier the quick reply wouldnt work either. Now it is working. I dont understnad what is happening?? I can e-mail and post on other boards but not on the Dis boards?? Anybody else having problems or can you help me figure out what is going on??
I would appreciate and suggestions you can make,
Kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy,
I guess the posting problems were the dis boards not me, I am glad about that. Lots of people couldnt post yesterday.
we are suppose to get some rain tomarrow, i sure hope so, we have more new brush fires this weekend. They need to rain to put out the fires. One was only 4 miles from WDW and lots of smoke was over Animal Kingdom saturday and all the animals were upset. They have a natural fear of fire so it was hard on them.
well it's late here so I'm off to clean up and hop into bed.
have a great evening everyone, hope your weekend was good too.

Kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Happy Monday everyone!!!

We are finally getting the rain we need so badly here. I should have 2 to 4 inches by tomarrow evening. Hopefully it will be able to put out the several brush fires buring around the state.

Ok, we have been pretty quiet lately.
Jim, are you still with us ladies!!!

Here is another get aquainted question.

What is your favorite way to relax, excluding vacations. just around your own neighborhood or house???


I like a nice hot bubble bath or I love to bake cookies, pies, cakes, fudge,divinity etc... Kneading dough generally relaxes me too.

Hi all. Last week of school for the girls, so we've been pretty tied up. Nice and hot here -- got a bit of a sunburn yesterday. Answers to more questions: favorite tv show: Grey's Anatomy; favorite dessert: creme brulee; favorite way to relax: reading or jumping in the hot tub with a cold one. Have a great week everyone.

 

[lvstitch]

Good Morning everyone

Kathy glad to hear you are getting some rain down there. Wow, those fires are really close to WDW. I also heard you guys were getting hit by your first hurricane. Where you ever affected by the really bad ones that have hit the past two years?

Deana, I bet the girls are excited that school is over. Do you guys have any big plans for a summer vacation?

So this last question is kind of tricky for me because I don't really like to relax. I am a Type A personality and am always doing something. I have to force myself to relax. That's why I liked the crusie. You kind of have no choice but to take it easy, no parks to get to before the lines get too long I have been trying to take it easy on Sunday mornings by laying by the pool but really I am just planning what I will be doing later on. I would have to say what is most relaxing to me is either shopping or planning a vacation

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Yes we were a direct hit for Jeanne and Charley and just the outskirts of Ivan. When the eye came over it was really eerie because it was all calm and quiet for awhile. Our neighbor lost part of his roof, someones air conditioner unit went rolling down the street, another screend porch crashed into a downed tree out front of our house. A large tree on both side of us, just off our property went down, I saw them fall. The worst part was NO electricity for 2 weeks in the summer heat.
We had a guardian angle looking out for us because we never even lost a shingle!! One tiny tree, 5 foot tall beside the house, twirled a few circles then laid down, but that was pretty much it. DH works for a major builder and so many houses under construction had major damage, plus people pulled them apart to get plywood for their windows, what a mess!!!
That was in Poinciana. We just moved here 3 months ago, about 80 miles from where we use to live. Now we have a generator, extra gas, food, water, and a pool to cool off in and a big freezeer to freeze blocks of ice to keep the food cold when we dont have the generator running. We are well prepared, so we wont get hit hard!!!
Lots of wind today and it rained lightly all day yesterday, we are suppose to get more rain and wind from the back side of the storm. I hope we get more rain, we really need it.

Have a great day,
Kathy

Hi all. Sorry that I haven't been posting lately, I've been busy with work, home, coaching, etc. Also, we decided that we needed to replace my wife's minivan so I've been going crazy trying to find a new car for her. We ended up with a new Honda Pilot. She's excited. It's her first new car in 7 years.
I hope all is well with you guys. I'll try to keep up with you guys if possible.
Take care,
Jim

 

[lvstitch]

Oh my gosh Kathy, that's awful, I can't imagine not having AC for more than a day never mind 2 weeks. Well, you sound very prepared so you probably will never be hit by another hurricane.

Jim, glad to hear from you. No worries about posting as much as we do, just keep in touch every once in a while, after all we do have 17 months to get to know you better Got luck with your wives new car.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi everyone,

Jim glad to hear everyone is ok at your place. Sound like it has been really hectic around there lately.
Time will pass quickly for the cruise if you stay that busy all the time.


I cant believe we dont have anymore people posting with us.
Oh well, it is aways off yet, but other cruises that far out have a lot of posters in board already. Guess it gives us time to get aquainted before we get so many people that it gets hard to remember who is who!!

Starting this early I will be curious to see how many pages and posts we have by the time we cruise!! It could be a lot.

My 7 day August cruise only has 11 other families besides us posting. That really surprised me, it is so close and still so few people.

Guess someone must of told them how crazy I am and scared them off I am a disney nut and I admit it!!
In fact I am proud of it!!!

I am off to bed, goodnight all,
kathy

One of the reasons I chose this week was because I knew it wouldn't be as busy. When we went in December the ship was not at full occupancy and it was great. There wasn't more than 6 couples at Serenity Bay and I don't think I ever saw more than 10 people at the adult pool the whole time. I like to travel during the slow season. I am sure we'll get a few more people as it gets closer. I have to admit on my last cruise I was more of a lurker on these boards and I didn't join in any of the cruise meets.

Hey Kathy, the crazier the better

 

[lvstitch]

Bump

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

I second your bump!!!

 

[lvstitch]

Another week has gone by and still no new people. Come on don't be shy, join in, I know you're out there

Well not much planned for this weekend, just helping a friend plan a baby shower and maybe go to Red Rock Casino for a nice dinner with my husband since it is our 16th Anniversary of being together. People always make fun of us for celebrating it but this date is more important to us than our wedding anniversary. If we had never met, we would have never gotten married, right Anyway, that's it. It's going to get hot again, we have had some unseasonably cool temps (that's a quote from our weather people) this last week and it's been great, mid 90's but it will be well over 100 this weekend.

Kathy, I have a favor to ask you. I know you don't go on your 7 night cruise until Aug but if I don't ask you now I may forget. Can you please give me a full list of food serverd at Goofy's Galley, I know they serve wraps and fruit but I would like to know what specific types of wraps and fruit. Yes, I am a little obsessive but hey what can you do I have looked everywhere and just can't get more specific info. Thanks for your help

Have a great weekend everyone
