I am going to work on her, we have two weeks before booking opens, so.... I might just be begging for a sofa with one of you, because it is in my head now and I don't want to wait another three years for when DCL might do another PC cruise. (Carla I am so channelling you right now, lol)

Pj

It's Veruca Pj I'm just her companion!

I have been worried about Becka and all of that ice. I wonder if she ever lost power.

 

[klineyqueen]

Good Night all....I actually have to get up with an alarm...my kids won't be doing that until the summer!!!!

 

[Bella2000]

I'm not redoing any website anytime soon.

Yeah, sure Lisa!

 

[Bella2000]

Caroline, that isn't the only thing I am working on...remember...I can multitask.

OMG Lisa what you do isn't called multitasking - that doesn't identify the complexity. There should be a special name for it. Lisatasking!

BTW - Apple released financials today . . .

It's in USA Today? Online also? Yeah baby January 22. Actually January 21st first - have you caught up on BG yet. I don't want to say anything.

 

[Bella2000]

Were your ears ringing John1? I was talking books.

That's right HD! How cool that will be. So does he nuke the planet? I am shocked that BG is never nominated for things by the way. Also ears ringing was all good stuff (of course!)

 

[lbgraves]

Thanks!!!! Honestly, the kids were so happy to see me it made me feel really good. The teachers kept telling me how happy they were that I was back and telling me that I will never know how much they missed me. They were also telling me that the Christmas concert was a total joke. The principal even said how "disappointed he was the first half of the year." He also said, "you will have lots of pieces to pick up."

I didn't have time to miss my own kids...I was so busy!

Glad to hear that it was such a good day for you!

 

[Bella2000]

REading the USA Today article "Weekly graphic novels at NBC.com provided new material for fans." I didn't know that. I knew they were there but assumed they followed the story. I'll have to check it out tomorrow.

I know I have read at least ONE of his books, will have to revisit.

Now reading a DC type book . . . "The Third Secret". Interesting so far.

Yes, he was behind Savannah & Sophia because he didn't want his picture taken. I only saw him from the one taken from the balcony. You can see the burgandy back.

Amanda kept insisting that he was there so I guess she was right. She was standing right next to Sophia.

 

[pyramid2000]

DH just told me I can try to book the August PC Repo!!!! I'm SO surprised! I didn't even bother asking because I was sure he wouldn't want to take 14 days off but he said he really wants to see the Panama Canal and that it's a "Once in a lifetime" opportunity!!!!!
