I think I may raid my Grandma's closet for some shoes. Now before you go making wise cracks...this is the woman Haley gets her shoe fetish from. My Grandma will only wear 3 inch heels and they are all pretty darn stylish and sexy.

Last time she came to Epcot with us I think it was a tad cold and she walked around in 3 in skinny heeled boots!

I think I am beginning to freak out. As I have been packing I realize there are clothes for everyone but me! I don't even have a new swimsuit! Oh my!

I also adore shoes...but 3 inch heels would kill my calves to the point where I would probably cry!!! If my calves didn't give out...I would probably fall on my face!!!!!

I never used the PALS line before, but I will on this trip!

Tonight is supposed to be Samantha's dance class. I am thinking of pulling her out (yes quitting)....something major happened at the studio (not sure what) but the director has left to open her own studio.
This class in particular the director was supposed to teach - and she is AWESOME! But she has only taught it twice since August. They have had a different teacher every other time. For the little ones not in daycare it has been pretty hard for them to go in without major coaxing from the parents.

They are not learning anything except to count beats and pretty much have fun with music which is FINE, but I initially was looking for something for Samantha to burn off some energy and have fun and the class is only a 1/2 hour. Usually starting 5 min late and ending 5 min early.

IDK, I don't want her to get the message that we are "quitters", but I don't feel we are getting anything worth out of it for the money it is costing.

I would find a different dance studio.

What's her name?

SS Microsoft Windows?

Oh John - that was just mean!

one month from today, I will be on the Magic, relaxing with my friends & family. That is if I can get everything done before we leave. Not only do we need a place to post to remind us what to pack but we need a place to post to remind us what needs to be done prior to leaving.

 

[klineyqueen]

I am geting closer to my goal of 500 posts.

 

[MMcCarthy]

Brandi, DO THE RAINFOREST. Trust me on this....The Rainforest!! $15 each for the day and SO worth it. Get some water with a bit of orange in it. Sit on those loungers, move through the heat/steam rooms, shower in the incredible showers (but DON'T get the mint one in your eyes - ouch!), then get a nice cup of tea and sip on that. AAAAAHHHH. You will be just so relaxed! Plan on about an hour.

my DH & I have never done anything like this. is it available for couples? is it open the first night? I really am going to need something to help me forget about the real world.

 

[klineyqueen]

I left lunch to post. Trying to do my part.

You're a good man Brack!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

What is the Mickey Monitor????

 

[klineyqueen]

Speaking of Christmas cards, I have been wondering if it is possible to order Christmas cards on the ship....... Does Shutters do that?

Yes,

We did photo cards on a cruise 2 years ago. Sent them as soon as we got back home.

If my DW will let me I want to have my decorations up the weekend before Thanksgiving1

We will put up our tree...a real one...and decorate the day after Thanksgiving. We will shop like crazy all morning...then finish the day with decorating!

 

[klineyqueen]

Johnny has no choice. I just start decorating around him. My problem is the tree....we buy real so we have to wait until Home Depot gets them in.
John is the WORST at shopping for an xmas tree...the WORST. He will pick up a tree (still wrapped)and oh if it feels heavy "it's a good one V".....um no, I bring my own case cutter and can open them myself.

Keep in mind I worked the xmas tree lot the entire xmas season in '04 (aside from the one week we went to WDW instead of cruising since I was pregnant and had to CHANGE).....and belly sticking out and all I never complained nor had a problem opening 800 trees for customers. You think my husband would kindly do the same for his DW.

There are loads of tree farms around here. We have great soil for growing trees. They ship them all over the country from here! We just go to the farm and pick out the tree we want. It is always cut fresh. We can have it up for a month without any problems! My DH trimmed trees for a tree farmer when he was 12 years old!!! That was his first job. He worked for them for a few years. There are Christmas trees...literally everywhere!!!!

 

[waltsgirl]

I sent an E-Mail to DU to see what the price would be. $1500 would be enough to pay for our WDW trip next year.

$1500 would buy your husband an awesome laptop for Christmas!!!

Sorry Angie, my good room is gone 6634, so if anybody on this cruise wants the secret category 7 it is up for grabs now. I am still waiting to hear back from costco on the whole price adjustment for the category 12 at $1282.16, but it sounds like we will be getting that rate, I hope at least. It is still showing $1881.02, so it better change. All of my sisters have changed already to the new price.

That is great news Jodie! Keep us posted.

 

[klineyqueen]

I think it's hitting serious planning time for everyone now! Yikes!

I know it is hitting me!

 

[Jhalkias]

I must agree!

Thank you Brandi, you ARE the sweet one!

Lisa,

Too cute!!!

Yes Lisa, great pics! Adorable

Dina just got hers in today as well. Guess I'll be pulling out the scanner tomorrow.

 

[klineyqueen]

Angie, that just prompted me to check the prongs on my engagement ring. I have had to have them repaired at least twice in the past 17 years... Sometimes I think that the dirt is holding the diamond in place...

Yours and mine both!

 

[Jhalkias]

If he did I hope he DOES NOT post the pic!

But you had to go and ruin the moment . . .
