I love knowing I'm not the only idiot in the world!

You know, when you start the top of the page with that, it could be taken out of context!

Sue, I've been doing the cruise switcheroo for several months now.....it's getting to be kind of a fun little game!


I WANNA GO TO BONAIRE AGAIN!!!!!! TAKE ME......PLEASE.....I'LL BE GOOD...I PROMISE.....

 

[DCLgodess]

Bonaire is soo soon! Just got back from the Kelly Clarkson concert. It was amazing. I would post pictures, but cameras were forbidden in the suites.

 

[Denise Escola]

Morning campers!

Got the job. Start today. weeee. I am excited. It is a really laid back place and all the people are friendly. It is only 2 miles from my house so I need to get in shape to ride my bike up the hill. Coming home will be a piece of cake.

Nice picture Stacey.

Hey jen glad you had fun at the concert. Clint Black was in town but alas the tickets were $80 each. And what is with ticketmaster charging a delivery fee when you print the darn things off your computer? Ok I'm off my soap box and off to work.

Have a great day all. Stay cool and don't work too hard.
cheers -D

 

[justmestace]

I was wondering about your interview, Denise...way to go!!

I was pretty pleased with myself to figure out how to post a picture. That's one of my favorites from the vow renewal in Key West at Christmas.

 

[DCLgodess]

[justmestace]

Well I wasn't going to post the picture of me with my legs in the air!!

Not leaving you yet.....nothing is etched in stone, you know.

And I am NOT an early riser......just ask your DW. Good thing I warned her to go ahead and start the COFFEE without me!

 

[KatHuss]

Congrats Denise!! Way to go!!

Stace, love the picture!

Man, I have got to find a way to get in shape before our cruise! I wish I could lose 20 pounds but I don't see that happening any time soon! I have cut way down on what I eat but haven't really lost anything yet. I need to get the treadmill out but until it cools down that ain't happenin' either (it is on the non-air conditioned sun porch and dh won't let me put it back in the family room). Well, I still have over a year so I have time yet.

Got my Dad off on the rest of his trip (he is in Canada now at Stratford taking in the shows), thank goodness!

DD's birthday is in less than two weeks! Still haven't figured out if we are going to do anything special for her this year. SIL suggested going to the Indianapolis Zoo as they have a new dolphin exhibit and show and dd loves dolphins. If it isn't too hot that day we just might do that.

Well, back to work and time for lunch soon....

 

[justmestace]

TWELVE HOURS went by and no one said a WORD on here!! SHAME! Is everyone WORKING or something????

 

[KatHuss]

Yeah, Stace, I think we were all working. I posted my message from work.

Something is wrong with the smilies I think. Both at home and at work some show up only as squares. The one in your message showed up as text How sad.


Hey, did anyone order the little decorative "tree" for their staterooms on the last 10day? I saw a picture of one and was wondering how much they cost so I can decide if that would be the way to go for us next year. I really want to decorate the room for Christmas but don't want to haul a lot of stuff with me, nor do I want to spend a fortune either.

My dd is getting a new computer for her birthday next week so I will have to check out the kids' thread and see if she'd be into it. I know she'd love to have some kids she already "knows" when we go on this cruise.

Well, time to think about getting ready for another day at the office.

 

[justmestace]

We ordered a tree from Shirley at The Perfect Gift. She delivered them all to the staterooms. They had little decorations on them, and I think a string of small lights. They had a Spode vase that they set in, so they were more $$ than the ship's arrangements, but it was sooooo nice to have a tree. We also had the ship's Christmas arrangement with roses and greens. But they spray-painted the white roses a green sparkle color, which not only killed them, but made them ugly. You can find references to Shirley on the Main cruise page.

Guess I should head for work......have a great day!!

 

[KatHuss]

Hmm, not particularly fond of Spode so I don't know that I'd want to pay extra for a vase I didn't like. I guess I'll just have to wait until we are closer and see what Shirley has and what DCL has. Maybe I can just find one of those fold out honeycomb type of trees ! (OK, maybe not but at least it wouldn't take up much space in the luggage!)

Man, we just had terrific storms roll through here a bit ago. It was almost as dark as night time out there! Glad it is over before I have to head home is all I have to say...


Stace, I think you and I are the only ones on here... has everyone else gone on vacation at the same time????

 

[dee47]

No, I'm in lurking mode due to deadlines...But I still enjoy the chatter.

Sorry for not contributing more.

On the bright side, LESS THAN 2 WEEKS before I'm in the WORLD!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!

What is UP with the smiles? I can't see a whole bunch of them. Is it just me? Kat, are you still having problems?

OK, back to the salt mines...

 

[justmestace]

I think the fold out tree is a great idea. I may do that this year. I just can't stand the thought of hauling a whole suitcase full of decorations again. Maybe I'll decorate the house since we don't leave until Christmas Eve...and do our gifts before that, too. Then I won't have to do it on the cruise. This Christmas is the quick Norwegian cruise. Not much of a ship, but some good ports.....Belize, Roatan, Cozumel and Cancun.

 

[KatHuss]

No, I still cannot see most of the smilies.

We are here for Christmas this year. Thanksgiving in NYC with the whole fam damily (except dad). This includes me, DH, DD, Mom, SIL, SIL's BF, niece, brother and his wife (they live there, though). Seven of us (including two littles) driving in a large van from Indiana to NYC, are we crazy or something?????

 

[KatHuss]

Wow! I got a TOP! I am soooooo excited!!!

 

[KatHuss]

Hey Stace....

I just got looking back at my messages and found one that you had sent me in January regarding the suite we had on our June cruise this year! Small DIS world, isn't it????

 

[wdwgoose]

GOOD MORNIN ALL

we took a small tree for each cabin, and lots of lights, they looked great on the veranda at night, I think our cabin was the only one with the tree and all the lights on it, we did more lights in the cabin too. And I brought them ( most) of them home for the nexted cruise.YEEAH


staCey why does DW make C O F F E E for YOU in the mornins??????
never mind now i remember. I really LIKE A GOOD cup of JOE in the mornings,

well here at work for a while,

LOST all the hay it got rained on when i was waiting for the new clutch for the baler, so total LOSS,
now too just get it out of the fields.


have A GREAT DAY ALL

Hi All. Just checking in.

Sorry been such a stranger lately. My FIL passed away last week and things got a little crazy. I was camping and Jim was in New Jersey working when he got the call that he had taken a turn for the worse. He made back to Boston 10 minutes before he passed. Jim's OK but it's weird for him because he lost his Mom 4 years ago and now he says, "I have no parents", and he's having a hard time with that. Things are finally settling down around here.

Got you PM, Kat...sent one back
