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

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Laura,
If you decide before you leave where your going to be on saturday, let me know and we will arrange a place and time in that park to meet for 5 minutes, just to say Howdy. I DON'T want to interfere with your vacation time. At WDW every minute counts!!!
Or if you have a cell phone I could PM you our phone number and you could call and let me know what park you will be at on saturday and then we could decide on a meet.
Just an idea to think about. We still have plenty of time.

Everyone accept me and DH are sleeping in today. They played in the pool until very late. Minnie is even taking a nap. She is getting all tuckered out running from one person to the next all day long, plus she wont go to bed until everyone is in bed. She is use to us going to bed early and getting up early, 5 a.m. due to work. So staying up til midnight and getting up with is at 5 has pooped her out!!!
I think she will need all next week while we are gone to get rested up!!

It looks like the storm may hit after we leave on the ship. That is good, but if it's still approaching us I dont know which way the ship will go. We are suppose to be heading to st. Maartin and that is where the storm is coming from. I guess we may be having a surprise cruise this time.

No complaints from me, just happy to be going,

hae a great Wednesday everyoone,

kathy

Hi everyone,
well the storm, Chris seems to be fading out some, so my cruise should go without a hitch this weekend!!
We are having a great visit with our DD and grandkids.
The cruise is still a secret. But it is SOOOO HARD not to say anything!!!

Still hot here, but I know a coupleof you are hotter than we are, so I wont complain too much today.

I will post again tomarrow, but then I will be gone for a week, so try to keep us bumped up, hopefully we will get a coiple of new people by the time I get back.
I will write a trip report when we return.

Enjoy your Thursday everyone,
Kathy

I'm so glad for you that the storm is fizzling out and won't affect your cruise. I can't wait to hear all about the cruise when you get back.

And definitely PM your phone number. I'll have my cell with me on my trip.

I'm just waiting now for tonight's thunderstorms to come and break the heat wave we've been having the last few days. Last night we didn't lose power altogether but we definitely had reduced power. Even with the A/C it was still hot. My DS slept in his undies last night and still got up this morning telling me it was hot. OTOH, it's good preparation for us for Orlando in August, lol.

Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. My friend just had a beautiful baby boy so I have been spending a lot of time at the hospital. Mom and baby are OK and they should be going home Friday afternoon.

Kathy, thank goodness about the hurricane. You will have a great time. I can't believe you didn't tell the kids yet. You guys are good. I can't keep a secret for anything

Laura, how are you guys doing? My family lost power a couple of times yesterday. I heard it should be getting a little cooler after today. It's actually a little cooler here. It's only been around 105 with 17% humidity.

I have a really busy weekend, it's my friends daughter's Sweet Sixteen Weekend! I'll try to keep us bumped up on Saturday but don't think I will be at my computer on Sunday.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Happy friday everyone,
well I cant beleive it, but only one day left til we cruise.!!!!

It is still a secret from the grandkids

So glad I only have one more day to keep my mouth shut about this, it is sooooooooo hard to do.
As you will learn I have a BIG mouth!! Not a gossip, just like to talk a lot about nothing.

Hope you guys will be able to keep us bumped up some. If you have nothing to write about just wrtie BUMP and post, that will work good.

I will post within a couple of days of our return to tell you all about it!!!
Have a great week everyone and try to stay cool when you can,

Kathy

Kathy - Im so jealous. Have a great time on the cruise! I would love to see the expression on the kids' faces when they figure it out. Give us lots of details when you get back.

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[lauritagoddess]

Have a great time!!!!!! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Thanks everyone!!!

We will eat some extra Mickey bars for you!!!

kathy

 

[lvstitch]

Eatting Mickey bars on the cruise is one of my most favorite things to do. have fun.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

I actually finished packing accept toothbrushes in the morning.DH took the grandkids out for pizza, DS took DD to get her DH at the airport, so I had the place to myself to finish without GK's finding out what I was doing.

Too many initials in this posts.

This is my last post til we return,
keep us bumped up whenyou can so I can fin dus again.

something to think about while I am gone. Lots of groups name themselves on these boards, so start thinking about a good name for our group here and I will try and figure out how to find it to the first page.

Exmaple: My cruise after thanksgiving is called Wild Turkeys.
also one thread has gone bananas with our dancing banana, it's a LONG story but we are the dancing nana heads.
You get the idea.
It can be funny, cute, disney related, or cruise related etc...
we need a name!!!So start thinking.
we are close to Thanksgiving on this cruise, that may help with ideas, but it doesnt have to be related to the holiday either.
I will be expecting a few ideas when I get back, so put on your thinking caps and ask family and friends too!!!


kathy

 

[lauritagoddess]

Oh no, homework, lol. I'll give it some thought. I hope you're already having a blast onboard.

 

[lauritagoddess]

Bumping us back up.

I've had a decided lack of creativity in thinking of a name for our group. I hope someone else had had their creative juices flowing.

It was a nice weekend. I took my DS to AAA to get passport photos taken and we're going to hit the post office tomorrow to do the application. I'm so excited!! Even better when I got in today, my boss who I can't stand wasn't in, I won't be in tomorrow. She goes on vacation then next week for two weeks. And when she gets back I go on vacation. Except for 3 days this week I won't have to see her then until 9/5. Ahhhh!!!!!!!

Had a great weekend, busy but fun. It was my friends daughters Sweet 16 weekend. We went to Caesars Mall and had dinner at the Bellagio on Saturday. They stayed at Mandalay Bay on Saturday. Sunday we spent the day at the pool at MB and Sunday night we had dinner in one of MB's fancy restaurants in a private dinning room followed by cake in their suite. It was some party, almost good enough to put on MTV Everyone had a great time and there did seem to be too much teenage drama.

I think our name should be something about "leftovers" since we will not have time to have any leftover Turkey. I'm not all that creative but that's a start.

Want to make Kathy proud Bumping us up to the first page

 

[lauritagoddess]

What a great weekend!! I've always wanted to use the pool at Mandalay Bay, it looks so gorgeous.

How about for the nickname, "Better than leftovers".

I've always wanted to use the pool at Mandalay Bay, it looks so gorgeous

The pool is great just way to crowded. People start lining up at 7am to get a good seat for when the pool opens at 8am. I think that is just to much work if you are on vacation. If you get to the pool at 10am forget about getting a chair, you'll have to leave your stuff on the ground it's that bad. We did have a cabana which made it much easier. And yes we were one of the crazy people there at 7am

"Better than leftovers".

I love it. Kathy will be so happy

Bump

 

[lauritagoddess]

Love the stitch bump ups.

Sorry, busy day yesterday didn't get a chance to bump us up.

I have a really busy weekend. My whole family is flying in (that should be fun) from NY for my Mom's 60th Birthday. They will be here for 10 days. My sister and I have been making plans to keep all 11 of us busy the whole time. We already gave our Mom her gift (Trip to Hawaii with us in Nov) so we are going to give her a surprise pool party at my pool next Sunday. We still wanted to surprise her with something Don't know if I will get a chance to bump us up over the weekend but I will try.

I might go see World Trade Center this weekend too. Don't know how I am going to get through it but I feel like I have to see it. My sister and brother went on Wednesday night and said it was really sad but really good. I'll tell you guys about it (if you want to know) on Monday. All I know is I am bringing a box of tissues.

Have a great weekend

 

[lauritagoddess]

Have fun with your family, or try at least, lol. Happy Birthday to your mom!! My mom's 66th birthday was last weekend.

Tomorrow is my best friend's baby shower and on Sunday I'm taking my son to the aquarium and then a walk along the boardwalk at Coney Island. I've been promising to take him all summer and he can't wait.

Let me know what you think of World Trade Center. I'm not going to see it. It's still too raw for me. I worked only blocks away from the WTC and lost a few friends there and I just don't want to see a fictional movie about it, kwim?
