12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 6

[MrsMork]

We are just staying onboard at Cozumel and enjoying an extra "sea day".

 

[becka]

We are too Angie although DH says he wants to get off for just a little while to look around.

I do believe someone said that she should be docking and will not have to tender. That should make it easier to just get off and look around a little.

 

[MrsMork]

Grandma will probably be spending some time at the Mickey Pool that day, so if you want to take a look with Aaron and the kids want to play we will be available.

Thanks! We just going to see what we feel like doing that day. We may all get off for a while or just DH. The only plans we have for that day is that I have my hot stone massage that afternoon. More than likely the kids and I will spend the morning at the Mickey Pool and DH will get off for an hour or so just to look around and spend some money.

Oldest DD called yesterday and asked if we would watch her little dog weekend after next. I don't know the breed, but she is tiny little thing. Anyway, I said sure, then she said, "but I'm worried you guys won't spoil her like we do and I feel so bad leaving her." For Pete's sake! We take the grandkids clear across the country and the parents don't think a thing about it, but she is worried we won't spoil that cute little dog enough. I told her she will be fine, we will do our best to spoil her.

That is too funny Angie!!
Did you say this to her?

 

[pyramid2000]

I got the necklaces and bracelets I won on Ebay yesterday. They are really nice and I just need to decide which one(s) I want to wear. The only problem is that the chains are really short so I will need the lengthen them slightly for them to be comfortable but that is easily fixed.

But that sounds kinda crafty Becka...

 

[pyramid2000]

Ok, I was a little late for that conversation.

 

[pyramid2000]

I'm on my way back out to do dome grocery shopping. Ugh! But I am a little bummed and came here for some smiles.

Our fallball team is, well, lets just say not the all-star picks. I really don't mind myself, it's just that they will probably lose every game and that is never fun for them. I'm thankful we have a good bunch of girls and parents, but there are only 2 or 3 girls that we have that ever played infield before!! And maybe the same number who can hit it to the outfield once in awhile. Like I said, I don't really mind, but we are up against much, much stronger teams and it just will lose its funness, if that is even a word. We lost today something like 26 - 5. It just gets frustrating and I had to vent.....

Thanks for the intros in chat last night and I gave Lisa some more info for the web site about my group going.... Well my little one is watching Little Einsteins so I am going to START THE DAY OF CLEANING!! Ahh Saturdays ... Anyway I am excited about getting to know everyone and this is my second Disney cruise and I have been to Disney 4times... I am just shocked that the trip is almost here and I really planned it for 10people... SO I will try to keep up with you wild posters!!!

Hi RULEY!!! WELCOME TO OUR FUN GROUP!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

I would love to do the zipline tour...it sounds like so much fun. However, I dont' feel comfortable leaving my kids behind on the ship and they are far too young so it will have to wait until they are older or we have an adults only trip.

Here Here Sister!

 

[klineyqueen]

Becka - how did you make it through last night??? I was worried about you with the storms.


Well Dh,the kids and I are going out on the town...not really...just a little shopping. I will see you all later.

 

[klineyqueen]

I hope you guys have a fun night...don't go crazy while I'm going!

Well thankfully the worst of the storms were south and slightly east of us. We really lucked out there but some people were killed and lots of homes destroyed by tornados.

Hi Everybody. We booked this cruise when onboard in 12/04 but I just started looking at the boards.

My husband and I (age 41/42) will be cruising with our 6 year old daughter (first grade). Do any of you have girls that age that will be onboard?

Thanks,
Shelley

Welcome Shelly,

We have a 6 year old first grader too, and there are a few of us with first graders!

I'm getting caught up while I watch Ohio State, and before I go to our game tonight.

to you and the girls. It really isn't fun if you never get to win one.

 

[Jhalkias]

Welcome Shelley!!!

As Patsy mentioned we are a bit of a crazy group but we promise to try to be on our best behavior for the next hour or so until you feel more comfortable!

There seem to be a lot of 6 year old girls on this particular cruise so your DD should fit right in. My kids are younger than that but we are all looking forward to having a great time!

Feel free to join in the fun here on our crazy thread as much or as little as you would like. Just remember in case anyone asks that Amy (waltsgirl) and I are the shy ones.

HA!

[Jhalkias]

John1, I was wondering something. Who does the food shopping in your house??

Caroline,

Amy does MOST of it. I do some, but like I tell her - every time I am in the store it is a lot of long conversations. I usually just go in to pick up the few things that we really need from time to time.

Especially now since I have had to lay off 34 employees. I walk into the store and employees either scatter, or want to come and talk and talk.

[Jhalkias]

Maybe I am just cynical...but the kids that do thier homework will continue to do their homework. The kids that don't do their homework....will stay after school and do it. I am not saying that is a bad thing...but the kids who don't do their HW are usually the kids with no one at home. No one will miss them not being there and if they are forced to stay after...then that is just extra free babysitting time for the parents. Again, I am cynical after a few years in the system. Some parents will work any angle they can.

Very true Brandi.

Questions about the friday night chat, how does that work? I am new to all of this as you can see with my number of posts. I guess I missed yesterday, but maybe someone can fill me in on next friday?

I finally booked air fare this morning, made me 1/2 hour late for work, but I had to book it right away, our times finally showed up for the price I was willing to pay, it just better not get any lower I am crazy in that I will keep looking every day.....

Pauls up north again catching more salmon....I think we have about 10 already and he caught 3 more last night....Did I mention that I am sooo not a fish eater, crab legs only Thank goodness this is his last weekend fishing

It's raining here in Michigan today, guess I have an excuss for not getting any yard work done this weekend

 

[Jhalkias]

Do you have one of those Commerce banks? Just take the whole darn jar...drop it into the coin sorter...you get the keys AND the cash in dollars equal to the coins. now if you were saving up to get something...just put the money away...otherwise...go treat yourself to dinner!

I am waiting to count our change - it has been a couple of years. The last time we rolled it all, we had over $700! I am hoping for spending money for the cruise.

The only thing we have around here is "Coinstar" (we have one at one of our stores . . . and they keep like 10% of your money for countng it. Forget that!
