Well I am not sure if I will make the trip or if we will have to postpone it. I am sitting in an ICU right now with my mom. She was having trouble breathing on Sunday morning so at 230am she was brought in by ambulance. She was put on a ventilator and she is heavily sedated. They found out she has double pneumonia and they are giving her stuff to help her kidneys as they aren't voiding enough urine. Also they are giving him some meds to help prevent blood clots in her lungs. So some pixies would be great right now. Thanks.

Prayers and are on the way! I hope your mom gets better quickly!!!

Mary- Sorry to hear about your mom. I will be thinking of you both and saying a prayer. Keep us updated on her condition. Hope she gets well soon and you both can make the cruise.

Donmil- Cute FE!!! You did a great job! I am still trying to figure out what to us to put the names on the pockets of mine. I bought some iron on letters that were made of crystals or something like that and they didn't stick at all.

My printer is messed up..so I am handwriting the FE /cruise group document by hand lol. i have a few questions ( i'm not blond,but I should be I think)

I noticed on the FE document where Rebagarth and party's info. had been changed. So will room 6572 and 6574 have separate FE's? Or do all gifts go in one? Also, will Denise and Eileen have separate Fe's as well. Just want to make sure so I can get an accurate count.

Also, is anyone going to take their FE and FE gifts with them or mail them ahead of time? I can't decide what to do. We are now leaving on the 30th of Nov and driving halfway down. My fear is that they will get lost in the mail!!!

Thanks guys! I'm even more obsessive about checking my countdown ticker than I ever was lol.

[milliepie]

Hello everyone! It's been hard keeping up with things lately.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother Mary. I pray for a quick and full recovery.

I think all of the Fish Extenders look great! I look forward to seeing how the rest turn out!

I am so sorry to hear that you won't be cruising with us. I will continue to keep your mom in my prayers. Just focus on enjoying your cruise at a later date when your mom is well again.

Thanks! I used iron on t-shirt transfers to put our names and Mickey and Minnie on the stockings.

I'm not sure about the answers to your FE questions. Perhaps RebaGarth (Denise) will answer them. She did say that Steve, Gary, and Matt are still trying to decide on participating. I'm sure we'll know by the cutoff date of 11/3/09.

Wow! Leaving on November 30th. Are you spending time at the beach or WDW beforehand?

We are driving halfway down (to Valdosta,GA) and spending the night, then going on to Cape Canavaral the next day and spending 2 nights. Those days we will spend at the beach My mom and I both have back/disc problems, so we decided it would be better to split up the drive down instead of riding for a full 10 hrs. Plus it will give us more time when we get to FL to spend at the beach Thats always a plus!!

I don't blame you for splitting up the drive. DH and I don't like long road trips anymore. It would take us 19 hours to drive to WDW.

We are leaving on the evening of Dec. 1st to drive to Kansas City. We'll spend the night there and fly out early Wednesday morning. Our flight arrives in Orlando at 11:40 a.m. We are staying at POR at WDW the night before the cruise. If its nice, we'll go to the pool for awhile, Otherwise, we'll do some shopping at the outlet mall and DD or go resort hopping to see the Christmas decorations at the different Disney resorts. Since we will have a rental car, we also plan to go to Gaylord Palms and see their exhibition "ICE".

We plan to leave POR about 9 a.m. on Thursday so we can be at the Port around 10:30. Only 50 days till our cruise departs....I'm really getting excited!

We could be in FL in around 2 hrs if we flew, but my Dh and my oldest dd refuse to fly lol. I enjoy getting to see different parts of the country though. We are parking at the port, so I don't know what time we'll be there. This is the first time i've ever parked at the port, most of the time we just ride the hotel's shuttle. We are staying at the Residence Inn the two nights before. I wish we could go to WDW for a night or two, but oh well. I want to eventually take my girls there. I am like you though...getting really really excited

Mary-
I noticed on the FE document where Rebagarth and party's info. had been changed. So will room 6572 and 6574 have separate FE's? Or do all gifts go in one? Also, will Denise and Eileen have separate Fe's as well. Just want to make sure so I can get an accurate count.

I will try to field this question: Denise and Eileen will share a FE for their room 6572 and Donny and I will have our own FE 6570. We have the FE gifts but have yet to make the FE you all are sooooo ahead of us. As for 6574 I am doing an email pressure/guilt campaign to encourage their participation but it doesn't seem to be working. Some people are just not the fanatics others are. Go figure!

I don't know Mary but it makes me sad on her behalf. We understand us both having ailing mothers ourselves. Sending good thoughts for a speedy recovery.

Donna, could you possibly send some of that sunshine to TN? It is drizzling rain,cold and foggy here! I think I will be lost if I was to see the sunshine anytime soon. I can stand the cool/cold temps. but I still like my sun!!!!!


Lisa

 

[donmil723]

Hey Lisa!

Did you get the sunshine? I tried to send some your way! Thankfully, its sunny here in Missouri again today. Temps could be warmer as its just 54 degrees. Hopefully, it will make it up to 60 today!

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday!

Thanks Donna!! I got it, and man am I enjoying it. It is soooo cold outside, but I don't even care since the sun is shining Its 52 here,but that wind is really blowing and makes it feel colder. Supposed to be sunny all wk until Thursday here. That is even better news since my girls are out mon.-wed. for a fall break. I can send them outside lol.

Have any of you hear of this Houseparty.com where everyone was applying to be a DCL party host/hostess? I was reading about it on the cruise forum, and thought "what the heck!" so I applied, not thinking i'd ever get chosen. Well SURPRISE!! Today I got the e-mail that I had in fact been chosen to host a DCL house party on Nov.14 I have never done this before and have NO idea how to even begin!!!! Any ideas you all might have would be greatly appreciated! I've got to find a place to have it, my house is no where big enough for a party. If you all was close enough, i'd say come. Come on anyway if you want to visit TN
