[DSharpe]

Hey Penny!

ok... after the challenge of trying not to have a naughty thought... I DID!!

It's like when we were kids and you looked at the clouds to find things, like an elephant or car or something...

Well when I saw the "mickey" banana I had a naughty thought... let's just say the two mickey ears didn't help... Okay so it's been a while hah...

Forgive me
Elizabeth

Allow for 4 hours total for the tour, including an hour each way. We will also stop at the village school to drop off the supplies that we are taking...maybe 4 1/2 total. We are being picked up at 8:30 so back by 1 or so.

What's everyone doing after the tour? sneaking through the fence to the beach? (I think that was on CM)...

 

[DSharpe]

Good afternoon,
I can't believe the posting fools you have been in the last 14 hours!

DD got off to school ok (first day of Middle School).

I'll let you know if she survives.

aww...my oldest son's first day of middle school in a week from thursday...i'll let you know if I survive!!
Seriously...hope your DD had a GREAT day!
Diana

I think that stuffed animals breed!!!! There are always so many stuffed animals!!!!!

Yep, they breed here - definitely!

 

[becka]

Becka - I'm going to send Kim a padded envelope - inside, I'm going to put a label with my address and some stamps...then, all she has to do is put the bracelets in the bag, slap on the label and stamps, and throw it in the mail....no need for 2 envelopes.. hth, diana

You think I can handle something that complicated? There are so many ways to mess that up.

I am glad today is almost over but I still have the pick up kids, get them fed and bathed and to bed routine to go..... I am thinking Mexican sounds good but I don't have any I can make at home. I wonder if I can convince DH to let us go out to Chevy's tonight. A margarita and chips & salsa sounds really good right now.

 

[becka]

Actually even better is I can have DH run to the store while I pick up the kids and he get can get all the fixins' for a nice big taco salad. Plus if he gets home first he can start cooking...

 

[DSharpe]

On board gifts -
There are gifts in our booklet from DCL - can your order them on the ship, or must you order before the cruise?
thanks
diana

 

[becka]

Diana - I think you have to order them in advance but I am not 100% sure. I am sure Lisa knows and if she does not she has people who can find out for her.

 

[becka]

Someone on the main board had a question about the DD CB and they are on this cruise. I tried to invite them over so maybe we should try to be on our best behavior for a few posts so we don't scare them away!!!

I loves me some mexican!! yummy yummy
and I have a KILLER margarita recipe.

I'm thinking of having a pre-cruise party here at the house next month with a mexican fiest theme.

Does anyone have some sort of timeline of things to do before the cruise that they'd like to share?

Gotta get ready to go out to dinner for dave's birthday...see you guys later

ok, i'm brain dead - what's the DD CB?? - never mind - saw it...
best behavior??
Love your smiley's you've been posting!
oh, and sorry for the complicated mailing instructions!

 

[becka]

DD CB = Double Dip Character Breakfast

I flunked the mailing class but I did ace the acronym class!

Sure we will! Becka, this IS our best behavior!

What's everyone doing after the tour? sneaking through the fence to the beach? (I think that was on CM)...

We will be having lunch onboard & enjoying the pool for a while.

 

[lbgraves]

Diana, yes, you have to order any packages from DCL before you go on the cruise.

 

[lillygator]

Hmm, DH is late and I fed the girls PBJ's and Cheerios..not too thrilling but hey, it's what Samantha wanted and I am the "best mom ever"....so much for walking the beach, it is POURING.

Samantha broke Haley's crib...the side that slides up and down, well she hung on it so much and jumped on it that it bent the brackets and snapped one of the rings around the screw. I am upset for two reasons...it is a cherry sleigh crib which converts to a DB and now I have nothing to keep Haley in one place!

 

[lbgraves]

Van, can you contact the company that manufactured it & order replacement parts?

 

[DSharpe]

Diana, yes, you have to order any packages from DCL before you go on the cruise.

thanks - guess i need to decide fairly soon if I want to get the robes in the romance pkg - or maybe not too soon since they already raised the prices!!

 

[MrsMork]

So, I've been looking at the new menus today! YUM! I'm having to sop up the drool occasionally. Sop. I think that's a Southern word, right Becka and Patsy? Something you do with biscuits and gravy. Anyway, I digress....so I'm trying to decide what night to miss the regular dining room and go to Palo. I think I have decided on Master Chef night. Such difficult decisions. I had talked with DrHug about not doing Palo this year since we have DGS with us, but he was So, I guess we will schedule and pray that Aaron enjoys the club this time. At 3 he would not stay in there, but he told me he is excited to "play on that ship" this cruise.
