12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 9

[brack]

FINALLY!!!! What a couple of days! I am totally wiped out. IDK if I will make it to chat tonight. I really need to get extra sleep to catch up. Last night wasn't good because DD kept snoring in my ear. OY! I put her back in her bed only to wake up to her next to me again....maybe I dreamed actually getting up to put her in her bed? DH was home today so I only worked at the school on carnival stuff for four hours. Now DD sounds like a seal when she talks. The temp today got into the 80s. This messed up weather is hitting everyone.

Good grief!!! They wont let me sit & do anything for more than a minute. UGH! Mommy this! Mommy that! I have to run again.

Excuse me while I pick my chin up off the floor. Just the asking amount was enough to send me into shock. I thought FL real estate was not that high. If you live across the street from a $1 million+ house then we are going to be your extremely poor tablemates!

we're poor too!

These people just bought a lot at the end of our street which is at the end of the canal spilling into the bay for $990k and plan to build. The homes here have gone through the roof! John had the chance to buy that house for around $250 about 12 years ago (they paid around $350).....it's awful...

We could sell for quite a bit and move to something bigger, newer, nicer but it isn't happening.

Aaron!

DH is home again today with Allie and her pink eyes. At least he gets some more DIS time.

BTW in case you have forgotten:

1. Allie does require occassional food and snacks. Go make her lunch now. Give her a snack about 30 minutes after she wakes up from her nap - there are goldfish crackers in the pantry.
2. At some point today she will probably want out of her pajamas - a pair of sweat pants (black ones are clean) and a clean t-shirt will be both comfortable and fashionable for her day at home.
3. She probably needs a diaper change at the same time you are dressing her.
4. More eyedrops again after her nap.
5. While she is napping please sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
6. Make sure you don't lose her puppy and be sure to include the puppy in any important activities like Purell-ing hands, playing peek-a-boo or watching Wiggles.
7. Brown the hamburger meat in the fridge so I can make your favorite soup tomorrow in the crockpot.
8. Do whatever else I tell you to do when I call next time.

I can shoot TV sized, stereo video with my new digital and I am sure several others can too, who knows how to put it all together? I like Andy's photo montage idea too.

How about google video, so we can all download it to our computers and ipods?

Pj

DH has gotten really good at putting videos & photos together with music.

 

[lbgraves]

The bandanaramas have arrived.....

Really ....DD said "mom" there is a heavy box that got here, What is it?"

So i am now the owner of 15 dozen lime green bandanas ..... (for a joke i may get one Yellow one)

(this is for you Becka)

TIME TO GO TO THE CRAFT STORE

and see how I'm going to stencil them or add the decals and such......

COOL!!!!

 

[becka]

Aw...come on Andy...we DO have goals in our lives....and now the goal is 50,000!!!!!

That is an old goal Karen. Our new goal is over 60k!

 

[becka]

MICKEYPLAN

We've GOT to do a video while on board and post it to youtube!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

look what you guys made me do! As a service to the geeks, I went to KFC and ordered a chicken pot pie. Here's what I got:

Definitely a crust there!

Those are SOOOOO good!!!

 

[brack]

Caught up just in time for chat.

 

[becka]

how about all of that on a plate, add some bananas and a few NUTS and THEN you'll have Chicken DIS FOR SURE!

I wonder if Lisa can let her people at DCL Dining know about this new dish they need to offer on their menu.

 

[becka]

You know, since Becka tried to scare Angie with all of those math equations yesterday, I have to throw in this attempt to get Becka:

I AM GOING TO JOANN FABRICS TODAY! VERY SOON!
I will be getting some material for DS3's boot covers for his Captain Feathersword Costume! I will be looking for gold trim for the vest! I am figuring out a way to MAKE the actual feathersword with wire, feathers and other crafty materials! I will purchase many other crafty supplies that I don't even need yet because there is a great sale right now!

Now what did I do to deserve that?

 

[lbgraves]

Normally yes....

But since in your case, he has a passport (or is it Visa)... You can check everyone in. Check DH in with his passport or Visa..

Make sure DH keeps his DL with him to get into the terminal (thru security). Everyone needs id to get into the port.

Since my DH only has a DL we couldn't seperate like that....

Hmm...The past two times I have checked in without DH there & he just went to the CM with his DL to pick up his KTTW card when he got there.

 

[becka]

What do you think his reaction will be when the blindfold is removed and he sees hundreds of people wearing the same shirt as him?

I don't know but I want to be there to see it! It would make a great start to our youtube video!!!!

 

[goofyforlife]

Hmm...The past two times I have checked in without DH there & he just went to the CM with his DL to pick up his KTTW card when he got there.

Yes, but when someone has two picture id's....DH won't have to worry about going back to the counter....supposedly...

Becka RE the math issue...

I can safely say I grew up HATING math and thought I, as a "girl" couldn't do it. In 7th grade I got an AWESOME teacher, Mrs. Bentley. She made math fun - (is that possible?) She really turned my whole way of thinking around. But I can easily see in my school years how much I was influenced by guys vs girls.

I try like hell to not influence my girls.....they aren't in school yet but when we work in the workbooks etc.....I never say I don't like/am not good at/etc...it's VERY hard.....in fact all around it's hard to not influence them. Johnny was giving them Nascar apples tonight..."V, ya want one", "um, hello Charming of how many years? I don't like apples!" Oops!

 

[becka]

Yes, e-mail it to the CPA and make them do it!

Is your CPA also a computer programmer?

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Hey guys - quick update before I have to go out tonight.

I found my lions costume..... for $7.99 at toys r us online. Free shipping!!!!

It was the Wizzard of Oz Cowardly Lion costume...

They've got some really cute costumes for really cheap right now. If your kids like dressing up, you should check it out.

 

[tynkerbell]

It sounds like we need to have a meeting of the "Quiet Guys Who May Not Take the DISBoard Shock Very Well" Club.

"Hi, My name is Andy and I am here because....wo, who are all of those people in the green shirts...I'm outa here!"

 

[becka]

Angie, well, if you included the table dancing, you might need to have the shock paddles handy.

OK who here has room for the defibrillator in their luggage?

 

[lbgraves]

I guess I will watch Lisa's catch up later.

Thre is not a LAST at the end of the page numbers so I am hoping that means I am near the end!!!!
