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

[becka]

oh good! I also have enough for the kids to have 2 so if you lose one, I will have them at the terminal and the wine and cheese.

How sad am I? I bought the padded envelopes and they are still sitting in my house and now it is too late to send off for the bracelets. I need some kind of therapy.

Kim - Would you mind bringing ours to the terminal since I am such a forgetful moron.

Two weeks from right now we will be sleeping in a hotel somewhere near the GA border on our way to WDW!!!

Two weeks from now I will be going absolutely crazy because it will be my last full day of work before we leave! I feel kind of shaky just thinking about it!

 

[becka]

I just tried to access my Ebay account and apparently it was compromised. I was just on chat with an ebay agent. Someone listed stuff under my user name. That makes me crazy angry!!!!! Now I am in the process of changing all of my passwords!

I am sorry Brandi...that must be a royal PITB to deal with. I wonder how they got your password?

Happy Hump Day Everyone!!

No Hump Day here...today is my Friday!!!

 

[becka]

Good morning...
Still more packing before we leave this afternoon...
I have my conference with Walt's teacher (why, yes, the preschool has conferences!)

Our preschool does not do formal conferences but we are always welcome to schedule something if the need arises. I am lucky that I can usually talk to the teachers each afternoon for 5 minutes or so when I pick them up. That usually eliminates the need for additional discussions. Only one other time did I need to actually go in for a "conference" to discuss and issue with Nathan.

Ok, Becka....what is the percentage of posts in this thread that have the word "crust" in it? "Pricing"? "streaking"? "bathroom bat"?

We need statistics!

Roughly 84.234%!

 

[becka]

Because she's been tracking it since the beginning....Personally, I am waiting until we hit 12%; that would be the milestone. Not sure why, but I guess its as arbitrary as 10%.

Becka, go over to the OTHER thread and let them know we are at 10%, see what they say....

I don't want to start THAT again...

 

[lillygator]

2 weeks from today is also my last full day at work! Unbelievable!!!

 

[becka]

Ok, Rainman...
ahhh... I hang my clothes in the closet, yes in the closet. On the red hangers, only sweaters on the red hangers. The shirts go on the blue hangers, yes, blue but only on Tuesdays, definitely not on Mondays. I hang the pants on green hangers but only on Thursdays, not on Mondays, only sweaters on red hangers on Mondays...I'm an excellent organizer....hey, look a chicken!

BTW Rainman... That is not a chicken. We had a bathroom bat escape last night and I think he headed your direction!

 

[becka]

I too, am like Amy....if the clothes get in the closet it's a miracle. Actually they get in there 3 times a year....when we are throwing a party.

Underwire bras set off metal detectors? WHAT? Isn't there a metal detector you walk through at the port? Never had a problem. And I sure hope there is no hold up this year. What do they do for that?

John wants to go to Disney on Friday...he thinks everyone will be shopping....and the park will be empty. Not so sure about that.

I will be on a cooking marathon tonight. I plan on getting everything ready and prepared to just pop in the oven tomorrow. Yippee!!! We are really getting close to cruise time!!

Everyone who stays home will be shopping. Those people on vacation at WDW will only be shopping in the theme park gift shops. Friday is traditionally CRAZY busy there!

 

[lillygator]

One of my coworkers is going on DCL on Saturday!! She is going with her daughter....her SIL won the cruise from his boss...(or was gifted)!! For 4 - how cool is that??

 

[becka]

V! I thought I was all alone there for a while.

The car is packed and ready to go. Now I just have to get through the day and we should be on our way by 5.

that's what I was thinking. I guess we'll see, he's always big talk and then when it comes to waking up early on a day off, well, that's another story!

 

[becka]

I thought of you this morning V when they mentioned on CNN that there were flurries in Orlando overnight! Did the world stop down there? You must have turned into a block of ice by now!

 

[becka]

Have I mentioned yet that I REALLY do not want to be at work today! I am so ready to just get on the road. I think once we get back from the holiday it will be major cruise excitement/panic around here 24/7!

We will drive back on Sunday. We usually are back around dinnertime.

I probably won't be able to check in a lot but I usually have a few minutes here and there when I can at least check in. I will want to see if I was upgraded at the very least.

Ok, a question for the women... do underwire bras set off the metal detectors? I don't recall it ever being a problem for me in the past and that's the kind I wear but I just read this on the TSA site...

Avoid wearing clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal when traveling through the security checkpoints:

Heavy jewelry (including pins, necklaces, bracelets, rings, watches, earrings, body piercings, cuff links, lanyards or bolo ties)
Clothing with metal buttons, snaps or studs
Metal hair barrettes or other hair decoration
Belt buckles
Under-wire bras
Hidden items such as body piercings may result in your being directed to additional screening for a pat-down inspection. If selected for additional screening, you may ask to remove your body piercing in private as an alternative to the pat-down search.
Take metal items such as keys, loose change, mobile phones, pagers, and personal data assistants (PDAs) out of your pockets.
Place heavy jewelry and other metal items in your carry-on baggage or in plastic bags if they are offered, until you clear security.
Pack all your coats and jackets in your baggage when possible. All coats and jackets must go through the X-ray machine for inspection. These include, but are not limited to, trench coats, heavy winter coats, suit jackets, sport coats and blazers. If you choose to wear an outer coat or jacket to the checkpoint, you will need to either place it in your carry-on or put it in the bin that is provided for you.

LOL! I had that same question and the answer is no. Of course I am the one who got on a plane without picture ID.

OMG! Brandi I hope that they caught everything. Will they be able to transfer your feedback?
