I have a myspace too and I used to like it more but for some reason recently FB has become my obsession! I don't use any of the apps for fear of spam & viruses, but it's much easier to find all my peeps from school, etc. And I really like that I can keep it open on my laptop in the kitchen and IM the neighbor if I need some butter or something. I know, what a lazy techno reliant loser. It's also nice to "talk" live with people I don't get to see everyday without my 4 rugrats screaming in the background! (people call all the time on the phone ans ask "is this a good time to talk? it sounds like somethings going on there"...it's really just everyday life at our house happening. for God's Sake there are 6 of us and usually more counting the neighbor kids...It's ALWAYS loud!)
Topic change (DH makes me announce these so as to not lose him in the convo...)
We have done the western & the 4 day so we booked the eastern this time so we can say we've done it all (well, except for the West Coast-which we have done but not on
DCL & Europe which I would never do on a ship). I can't see wasting my money on the West Coast itenerary just to do it with DCL. A lot of our friends are excited about the Wonder coming out here soon, but I'm not. Really, no CC or equivalent? That is one of the highlights of DCL and why we are willing to pay more for it.
I am hoping that DH will allow me to rebook on board this cruise so that we get to do both the Dec 4 sailing AND a Dream Cruise in 2011. We'll see. I've already squeezed a week at WDW into the plan for 2010. I couldn't see taking the kids out of school for a week, rushing home for them to go back for a week then being off for Christmas Break so we are going to do WDW after the cruise this time. Missing 2 weeks of school with a middleschooler is going to be interesting. Our teachers so far have all been very supportive and the school has allowed us to homeschool during the time we were on vacations-with Christmas break to make it all up. Not sure how difficult it is going to be for DD12.
Topic Change again...Anyone else have a DD 10-13ish? I still haven't had time to go back and look...My DD's have always met others online here at the DIS and exchanged emails before the cruise. On our last cruise we hardly saw them because they were with their DIS friends the whole time! I have made some wonderful friends here on the DIS and plan to with this group too!
Last topic change, I would like to do the FE exchange. I made my FE for our last cruise and need to get my moneys worth out of it. I think I posted it somewhere here...I'll have to find it...If anyone else needs one made I have PLENTY of time to work on them! Let me know!
One last thought-maybe I shouldn't post with so much caffeine in my system! I worked until 2AM and got up at 6 to get the kids off to school so I'm not usually this full of topic changes but I've just finished my 4th cup of tea...
