12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 5

[lbgraves]

oh my I forgot to ask one more question. DD is seriously allergic or has a horrible reaction to the fake smoke, like in the nutcracker during the snow queen part. She gets a very intense headache and then starts screaming (or at least she did the first 2 times we had this). Do they use it in any of the shows? As long as we sit pretty far back, she is ok, but it would be nice to know in advance...

Thanks!

Yes, they all use the fake smoke. In Twice Charmed it is used for the entrance of Franco and when Cinderella is transformed into her wedding gown. In Dreams it is used again on Cinderella but is pretty far back on the stage. In GM I can't recall but I will rewatch it to let you know.

Oh my I forgot! You were a sicky. I have a special smiley for you.

I hope you are feeling MUCH better!

Ewwwwwwwww!! As Todd would say, that is just wrong.

Ummm... a nun. A NUN?!?! You never said anything about a NUN!

You said pirates..not Nuns...what does Pirate night have to do with nuns ??

Ummm, Kristina is telling stories about you again!

Angie - Can you see PIF on the disney site? or are you checking your DU?

The DCL site just says booked. Wish they would let you know it wasPIF. Maybe it does if you book through them?

I called DU back yesterday and I believe it was just a typo on their part. All is fixed and the right amount shows on my CC. (Not happy abput the charge, just that it is showing!)

DD3's preschool orientation is today (not last Thursday ). Have to get her in the bath. I also have to find those papers now....

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

Ummm, Kristina is telling stories about you again!

Yes, stories....

Tell her to get to work, don't let her be typing all day...

And let the record show, there will be no nun incidents...

My best friend is in Colorodo now. The one moving to San Diego. She said Kansas was VERY boring to drive through. What, she doesn't like to look at corn, cows, and I forget whatelse she said for 500 miles?? I think she plans on getting to SD on Sunday. Her boys called DDs yesterday. DD3 still has no clue about what this means. She keeps asking if they are coming over.

Good morning!
Danger Boy goes back to preschool today. He tells me "I can be nice!"
And he's a "luncher" today (staying for an extra hour and eating his packed lunch there).
Hope everyone else can be nice today, too! (YEAH! it's trip day for Angie!)

 

[pyramid2000]

Have to get the other one off to school and get ready for the day. I have to paint the trim that will go up in DD's room and with any luck she can be in her own room tonight!

Dinner is in the oven and the kids are going thru the torture that is known as homework. DD has already completed her math sheet, read her little book, and is working on writing her spelling words (my assignment since she has to learn the spelling words somehow.) DS is taking forever to write his 16 spelling words 3 times each...I think he has done 6 of them since 3:30. OY!!!! He just told me that he did his math already and he will need to read. I hate pulling teeth but today I have stopped them from watching TV until after all the homework is done. This is the part of school that I absolutely HATE!

I feel your pain on the spelling words - that was my oldest son's WORST homework ever!! He could drag it out all night!

 

[DSharpe]

Does that mean that we should not continue to talk about the talent show on the ship where you volunteered him to sing the solo piece from the musical "The Sound of Music" - "Climb Every Mountain" , while dressed as a nun and using a banana for a microphone?

Should I not say anything about that?

Made my final payment!

Unfortunately I had another really rough day today so I am not quite as happy about being PIF as I probably should be. You ever have those days were just everything seems to go wrong?

Lately I just feel like the world is out to beat me up, kwim? I am thankfully I have this cruise to look forward to but when I start thinking about after the cruise I just get depressed again. I know everyone goes through spells like this but I really wish my turn was over with really soon....although I don't wish to pass it on to any of you guys.....

Becka!!
Yes, sometimes I do dread coming home...let's try not to think of that, though, k??

Spent several hours at the DMV this afternoon. Had to register my new car and I went ahead and renewed my driver's license because the last time I had to show ID at Best Buy the guy looked at the ID, then back at me, then the ID again, quite a few times like I was trying to pull one over on him or something... I guess after losing 90 pounds I look quite a bit different. So anyway, figured that even though my license isn't expiring until Dec. 2007 I may as well update the picture before we start traveling, I don't have people at the airport like Lisa does.

DH was sweet and took us out to dinner after the DMV. Now I'm full and sleepy. It's been a long day.

good Idea on the new Pic - You deserve an updated one after your accomplishment!!

and any day at the DMV is a long day from my experience...I have a funny story about that...I had to get mine renewed...didn't realize I had to take the test (somthing about too many speeding tickets )...so I'm cramming with the booklet while waiting in line (had lots of time )...take the test and FAIL!! WHAT?? me fail a test??? not possible!!! Of course, all the ones I missed where related to speed zones
I had to go back and re-take it!! how totally embarrassing!!
I didn't even tell DH until a year and some months later...it SLIPPED out in conversation with some friends!! EEK!

 

[DSharpe]

Funny story about DS. We were listening to the Fantamic CD in the car on the way home (aka The Monster Show as DS calls it). You know the beginning monologue goes something like this:

Welcome to Fantasmic! Tonight, your friend and host Mickey Mouse .... Are the powers of Mickey's incredible imagination strong enough, and bright enough, to withstand the evil forces that invade Mickey's dreams? You are about to find out.....


However while DS was trying to repeat it (he does a good job) I heard this from the backseat:

Are the powers of Mickey's incredible imagination strong enough, and bright enough, to withstand the evil horses that invade Mickey's dreams? Mommy, are the evil horses the bad guys?

very cute - love when they do stuff like that - that should've made you feel better!!

 

[DSharpe]

now, this one disturbs me!!

 

[DSharpe]

Pretty far from the East Coast -- we're in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My parents live in Charlottesville, VA so we go out there frequently. Looks like you are in Florida so you won't have much of a trip to get to Port Canaveral? Lucky girl!

you just prompted me to add that to my profile.. hope no crazy internet people kidnap me now that they know what state I'm in!

Cool - I'm 45 minuts from C'ville!!
also, one of my sons is 7.5 yrs old on the cruise, and we are late seating (but not linked because there are 24 in our group and I'm the only Dis'ser)

Ok - ----- -


PIF!!! No getting rid of us now!!


FWIW - the DCL has never show paid for me, always says booked. My TA is calling in the payment so I will call DCL later today and make sure they have it!

 

[DSharpe]

We are in a fairly small town and would be easy to find. We have been on this board for several years and no crazies have looked us up yet! We are still waiting.....

If anyone is reading this thread, I'm sure they are RUNNING away from where we are, not trying to find us - the crazy geeks that we are!!!
