Morning:

Well Trey thinks i've finally gone around the bend. I looked at him and said we really need to get on the FE gifts. Then he asked if I actually said FE, yep I said. His reply was that i'd finally lost it and i'm one of you. Well Duh.

I hope everyone has a great day, as I've decided to actually work today (something about it being payday and all). I will be checking in and lurking.

TTFN.

Good Morning All,

It's pretty chilly here in North La today..50 degrees. That's chilly for us in early October!!

I am also at work today...we have every other Friday off, so more than half of the employees aren't here today, so it's really quiet. I like it, can get a lot of work done...or none at all...

Hey Shell, Maybe I'll bring some from Michigan so it will be POP!

We simply call it Coke here. It doesn't matter what it is, it can be Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Sprite..it's still a Coke.

I got the Fish Extender yesterday. It's great!!! I love it!!!

HAs anybody eles had trouble booking nursery time on the DCL website?

I did have a hard time last week. It kept kicking me off the website. Then, I'd have to go back and do it all again. Then, I finally gave up and waited until the next morning and all was fine EXCEPT the available times!!! It wasn't any left in the afternoon on sea days. So, we had to do 11AM until 2PM. I'm not sure if he'll even stay there, but we'll see. I also reserved two night during our dinner for a a couple of hours, we have late. And I got a few after dinner, in case, we won't to participate in adult activities.

But, we do have a "Velcro child" too!!! So, who knows, we may have him all the time.

Hi ... I wanted to comment about Christmas stuff. For those that haven't vacationed this time of year, here is my experience.

In 2006, I made fun of all the ladies on here that were putting up Christmas decorations, buying and wrapping presents, etc. in October and early November (I'm sure some of you remember that! I believe my main "target" was Jan ). That was the year I learned my lesson. We got back from home on December 2 and it was a mad rush to get everything done ... putting up the tree was just a loathsome chore, there was no fun in buying and wrapping gifts (and I HATE to wrap gifts to begin with), no holiday spirit because everything was rushed and I was just uh ... grumpy for lack of a more DIS-friendly word (ask Mutt )

So last year, I had the tree decorated and ready to display when we got home, plus had all the decorations up before we left and many gifts done. It was so much more stress-free and the holiday spirit came back (the Mutt was thankful for that )

This year, don't forget that we have a grand total of 15 DAYS between getting off the ship and Christmas! I'll probably do the tree and decorations the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Lesson learned!

I always have books on me, I'll be recruiting the workers at Port Canaveral...

Hey do you think I can barter myself an upgrade?

We went to a lia sophia meeting in May at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and when we checked in we asked for a view of Times Square, the lady said oh rooms that have a view are $70 more, I said we are here with lia sophia jewelry, do you like jewelry? I said when I unpack I'll bring you down a piece of jewelry just because I think you are nice, she said you are in room xxxx, enjoy your view. My friend and I got back to our room about 1 am and we opened the curtains and turned our chairs around and people watched and the street was still crowded! It was great!

I really want to come to New York City too!! You'll have to let us know where to stay and have the full New York experience.

I know that I should re-think this....but I will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner...

But is only for 5 people and the clean up should not be so bad....plus I'm going to have it at my dad's place...so I dont have to clean house before I leave. Ok.....I will clean house because I cant leave if I dont...but at least I wont have the mess here.

I always cook for my parents the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving b/c we spend Thanksgiving Day with DH's family. Last year, DH and I cooked the ENTIRE Paula Deen Thanksgiving meal. It was great. Even the dressing, and it was my first time for that. Momma usually brings it. I love to cook, but only when I have time, which is rare now.

Any one want to guess what the movies will be on board? Do they have only one newer movie a week? I was hoping the Beverly Hill dog or what ever and HSM3 would be on since we wont be able to go before we leave

 

[CruisingCamper]

My goal is to have all shopping and decorating done the weekend before we leave. Last year I just put up my tree and finished when we got back but since there is one less week this year it needs to all be done. Even though we don't have any kids, we always go all out for Christmas.

I love Christmas and the decorations too. I have always gone all out, even when we didn't have kids either. I collect Christmas things, so it takes me a week just to get it all out!!! I hope to have it all out by the week before we leave too!!!

this is first time I haven't worked full time in 31 years of marriage.

Because being an elementary and then high school student doesn't count as a full time job!

 

[CruisingCamper]

Good Morning Everyone! I very quickly scanned the posts. Where are reviewers? Kim? Only a couple more weeks of soccer--then things will settle down.

I think it was Gailyn--we have decided to stay two more days after the cruise and go to the MVMCP too! Dec 7th!

Very cold 40 degrees this morning.

I'm home today so I'll try and keep up some! bbl

I REALLY REALLY want to stay until Monday also, b/c I REALLY REALLY want to go to that Mickey Christmas Party too on Dec 7th, but I know DH (Good Hands Man) will say NO!!!!!

You all should help me talk him into it, it's not like he'll use up a vacation day, he's self employed!!! And I can change the flight too, we are on southwest and there are no penalities for changing. All I have to do is add another night and change the flights!! SIMPLE!!!!

I guess I'd better go work for awhile ....talk to you in a few hours...

 

[pgfour]

But you don't look a day over 21 -- no wonder you always get carded.
