12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 11

[becka]

We watched Cars last night with the kids, I got most of my side of the families Christmas shopping done on-line last night and then DH and I watched our TIVOed shows: How I Met Your Mother and America’s Next Top Model. We go to my family’s house for T-giving so I need to have all of their shopping done before then so I can take it down there all wrapped. I hope everything gets her in time because I hate to ship stuff down to them later.

That's great that the little girl loved it!
I am in bad mommy mode again today. I forgot it was show and tell....

 

[Jhalkias]

I'm jumping around because I haven't had a chance to read in ages.

John you've done Cheetalicious (loved the photos!) are you ready for High School Musical? I posted that their concert is coming. You can do it again!

Tickets go on Sale November 18 for the January Cleveland Show . . . they were passing out leaflets at Cheetah - but I am soooooo bummed - no Troy!

It WAS really funny all the moms commenting on no dads at Cheetah. The mom behind me (while Amy and Sophia left the seats to shop) mentioned "see suzy, there ARE some dads here" I turned around and said, yeah, but not that many! She said "Yeah, I guess you are a little outnumbered".

Well, at least there are short lines at the men's room . . . although I remember going to concerts in my college days where women used the men's room because of long lines . . . wonder if that happened last night?

(I did not venture out - didn't want to miss a cheetah minute!)

I am considering taking an early lunch today and going to pick up Nathan from school and the two of us will go out for lunch somewhere. It has been awhile since we had some good, fun, one and one time and I am hoping it might snap him out of his weird mood. I know sometimes just a change of routine really helps me so maybe it will him as well.

Is it Friday yet?
At least Grey's is on tonight!

That is what I was htinking yesterday evening as I was working. Although I did watch The Nine. I can't have another show - that is too much pressure. I think Lisa may have mentioned it previously or someone did. I enjoyed watching it. Now I need to go check out whether its on iTunes. DH was watching Battlestar Galactica on iTunes last night while I was watching tv.

I forgot to get the meat out of the freezer so I don’t know what is for dinner tonight. Maybe we will order pizza – Thursday nights used to be our weekly pizza night but we have not done that in quite a while. Then of course tonight is GA!!! This camping trip looks interesting…

 

[becka]

Elaine – we have 30 days left and if we had 15 dedicated posters then we would need about 27 posts per person each day. Of course since many of you are leaving earlier and with the holidays I would say that it is more likely that we would either need more people posting or we will need closer to 40 posts per day! I think we will still hit 60K but we out of luck for 70K at least until after the cruise.

 

[lillygator]

Becka - you are on the ball with xmas shopping!
I plan on having my decorations up before we leave and the shopping to do when we get back. (big helper here....John gets his bonus when we get back!) Unless there are a few things on BF that I can't pass up. So far the ads I have seen haven't had anything that great in them. Disney store usually does the best deals though around 5:30am!

that sounds like fun! Would you take the rest of the day off or would he go back to school?

Unfortunately I can't take off so he would have to go back to school but I still think it would be fun.

Oh I am sure we'll all be tailgating in the parking lot well before 9:57am!

 

[Bella2000]

He gave the flower to the little girl when she got to school and she really loved it and his teacher said that the Mom really appreciated it as well. I am glad the little girl felt better and I hope that Nathan learned a good lesson from all of this.

I loved that you did this Becka and I am sure the Mom did greatly appreciate it as well. I'm sure there was a discussion about it at length at the little girls house as well and your educating Nathan went a long way for them as well. Good JOB! PMS and all.

Can a cab tailgate??

 

[becka]

What time does the parking lot open? What is everyone doing for breakfast? Maybe we should try to meet somewhere?

I am trying to work my budget here....I am spending way too much and we haven't even boarded yet!

preaching to the choir...V I was adding stuff up in my head this morning and thinking well if i cut that out and did it next cruise?

(This is because we still have to come up with around $450 for the dog sitter)

3 visits a day at $15 X 10 days. YIKES. but a kennel for the two of them would be worse.... $25 to $30 a day each......

This is like Becka Math....

Oy budget. I've been meaning to call to put in an onboard credit to pay for my spa stuff and incidentals so I won't have those to deal with as well a Christmas bills when we get home.

 

[Bella2000]

back to work.

 

[lillygator]

You don't even want to know my total and it is not including liquor or spa. I think I may be cancelling the spa stuff anyway. I already have to many things scheduled - I want to be lazy....lazy....lazy!
