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

[LindaBabe]

Tonya! So nice to see you, girlfriend!

Sun is out 8 degrees 16 inches of snow. Don't y'all want to come for a visit?

So, are you saying you want me to take away his man card?

I think it would be fair that if he fights you for it, he gets to keep his man card.

If he lets it go without a whimper, though, he gets his toenails polished. Woo gets to pick the color.

So I just realized that hubby and Fiona's food allergies (milk and peanut for hubby, peanut and shellfish for kiddo) are pretty easily managed, with regards to this cruise. We just don't order shellfish or peanuts, and picky eater Huber is going to not eat what he can't anyway. *duh* We can get the sauces on the side, and do "no cheese" on his stuff. It seems like the servers are nice about bringing multiple plates of what people like, or bringing multiple things to "try out."

I was worried because I took the 2 of them to WDW last October, and when the chef was informed of their allergies, it seemed like "nothing" on the menu was safe enough for them. It was ridiculous. They couldn't eat bread or chocolate because the chefs couldn't vouch for whether or not the room the food had been prepared at had ever had a single peanut carried through! It was on and on... and so Huber didn't have a good time on the Dining Plan, nor did kiddo.

I'm not meaning so seem blase' about their allergies, but these 2 eat at Texas Roadhouse on a weekly basis. If you've ever been there, you know they have a bucket of peanuts on the table when you sit down, and TONS of peanut shells on the floor (the mom in me just goes EWWWW about that). In addition, Huber absent-mindedly took a swig of Fiona's cup of milk the other weekend and lived to laugh at himself (I don't know if I've told you, but MAN is he absent-minded!!!). He of course spit it out in the bathroom and was a little choked up (and said his mouth itched), but didn't need an Epi-Pen. Yay!

It's pretty easy to not order shrimp and lobster (for ME; I know, I'm missing out! Huber can't eat butter, so he has never had either, really). I've only once in my life -craved- lobster, and of course that happened when I was pregnant... with a kid who can't eat it.

The both of them can eat other nuts, they just can't eat the legume -peanut-, so I think we'll be fine.

What do you guys think? I'm going to be fixing Fiona's plate, and I can serve as food tester for both of them. Fiona has a habit of eating off my plate, so it'd be best if I don't order what she can't eat. *hrrrm* But I mean, seriously, Huber's gone 30 years with his allergies, and he eats out ALL THE TIME. He orders Taco Bell with no cheese, for goodness sake, and it hasn't geeked him yet.

Thanks for your opinions!

Good Morning All:
Bob sorry about skipper. Its never a good day when a friend dies.

Thanks Tonya! We have been thinking about you, Trey and Hunter with all this weather in the mid-west. All of you north of the Mason-Dixon line have had a rough winter so far.

Hmm...so maybe ALL of you should consider moving south!

PURPLE ... with GLITTER!

 

[woogal]

Happy B-Day Shell, I hope you got the card.

I did get it ... Thanks so much!

I'd tell ya to give Hunter a hug for me, but I think he'd recoil in horror from the thought LOL

 

[favoriteslave]

HI Bob, we would love to move South. Does DCL take on life time cruisers?

Shell, glad you got the card. Hunter would recoil from a hug. He had sit next to a little girl yesterday at the Valentine's party (his last one). He just looked at her funny when she was counting her Valentine cards.

I do have to say he looked at me last night and told me I was cool to hang out with that I was a lot more fun than Grandma. So I guess I rate (for this week). He is getting more and more excited about the Trip in July. I made our dining reservations for the Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's. Been to the palace, but not the Chef's. So we are looking forward to the warm weather in Florida. We actually extended our vacation by one day so we could soak up more sun.

Awwww! The little sh** is buttering you up for something. That's so darn cute ... I think he gets it from Trey.

 

[theostwalts]

Have you guys made any hotel reservations for the 23rd yet? Is there any "official banana head hotel"? I checked the DCL tribute site and it had a lot of good info, but it hasn't been updated in a while. Just wondering what you guys are doing.

Also, this whole cruise thing might just be more addicting than planning for the parks. I have 3 other windows open right now so I can watch the Wonder pull out. I hope I can get enough work done between now and August so I can pay the cruise off!!!!

 

[cruisemutt]

ahhh....the first signs of addiction.....pre-pre-pre planning for the pre-anniversary of the 8th month before the cruise. Then the "two palms-ronjon-local 6 omg there it goes" phase. Hard to remember what comes next, gang....I'm sure we had a "most obsessive behavior" contest (dahlin wife, do you still have Under the Sea in your ringtone on the cell?).

It was sunny going home today, kids....woohoo.....pretty soon spring....then soon after, summer...then we all know what happens in the fall......(now I'm doing the obsessed thing....rats!).

Have a great evening, everyone...great to hear from ya Tonya and Bob!
Both of you, have a monkey....

and one for each Holly....

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

we will spend the night before at either the Residence Inn or the Radisson. we only live 90 minutes from the port, but it is nice to be close so no rushing that morning.Plus we saw a few disers last time at the hotel which was fun!!

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Mutt:

I'm crushed, devistated, and depressed now

I gonna tell Shell your playing favorites!!!

Hey Tonya, if your sister is half as much fun as you and Trey i should hook up with her. We are hitting a parade tonight, well basically everynight and all day Sat and Sun. Tonya I know what you mean about Hunter, last week Austin came in , and was all serious and said "mom did you lose weight, you look good" 5 minutes later I was hit up for a new PSP game

 

[woogal]

Now I know Austin gets that from Mike

 

[disneediva]

Shell, you would be so RIGHT

Hey! Thanks for the monkey! I really need one to cheer me today. Throbbing headache at work turned developed into migraine by the time I got home. Every time I move my head the throbbing made me feel like I'd pass out. Fortunately, I managed to get it back down to a dull throb by now.

And by the way, I also have Under the Sea as my ringtone! Ask Jan! She's heard it too! Probably drives everybody nuts at work because I refuse to mute it.....brightens my day a bit each time I hear it. I know....pathetic!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Linda,
I got 6 more cookbooks today!!! Like I relly need them huh??

I have finished 2 of the books you gave me, starting #3 tomarrow. I have enjoyed them very much, Thanks again,

Kathy

 

[Dixielady908]

Thanks Mutt! I always appreciate a good dancing monkey!

 

[HollyTyler]

Kathy: I stole a monkey for you!

But he can go back to Mutt now. I promise, no more stealing! Lets just say I borrowed him!

Hey, Holly, I use Orudis for my migraines. No wacky out of it feeling, and it gets rid of the pain.

Hope that helps!
