Mary, great newsletter. I just pm you.
I had time between recitals to say hello.
DD was so so precious in her acting recital. She also sang solo The Grand Old Flag twice. My eyes filled with tears!!!!!!!! We will be off shortly to her dance recital. Talk to you all later. Gail

Hi Gail - got your pm and have taken care of it!


Beautiful day here - hope you are all enjoying great weather too!

Um, I've been directed to find out if they're cute. If so, I may have a taker. NOT!!!

Actually, seriously, Teresa. If they are interested in making some pre-cruise acquaintances, PM me with an e-mail address, and I will pass it along to DD. There are some 13 and 14 year olds e-mailing, Alicia will e-mail them. That is, if they think it's OK to be friends with girls (all girls so far). And that is, if Alicia ever gets her room cleaned so her Dad will give her laptop back.

Gail, yay for potty training! Ethan will be able to go to the Oceaneer's Club!

Diana,
Of course they are cute! I think they'd really like to make some friends before the cruise. Nathan has lots of friends that are girls, Scott is pretty easy going too as long as the girl likes video games. I'll PM you and let you know their email addresses. They are both hoping the Stack is as much fun as the lab was. I think it would be more fun to know someone besides their twin ahead of time.

As a mom I don't know if I want them to see how cute your daughter is!! I'll try to hunt up a recent picture of the guys.

Mary - can't wait to go and look at the newsletter. You always amaze me!!!

Have a great Saturday night.
Teresa

Diana.....what a beautiful picture!! (I wish I knew how to put pictures on here) You had better put a leash on her, there will be a cruise full of hormonal young men!!!

Jeanette, no fair giving Mary a professional portrait! All the rest of ours are just photos.....very darling children!! We DO have quite the good-looking group!

Gail, don't you just want to burst at moments like that??

Great newsletter, Mary. I loved the fun facts.....stop apoligizing for having a busy life!

Finally got all my chores done.
Megan was here to have me take black & white photos for auditions. Good thing she's photogenic, because I'm a lousy photographer!
They came out well, though.

I have some friends from here in Cave Creek who got on the Wonder today! I'm sure they're already having the time of their lives.

Going to dinner early before Jared's practice game. Will be back later to say goodnight.

Have a great evening!

Stacey

Teresa,
Too bad you only had twins....there are a lot more 13-14 yr old girls going than boys!! (Gee...don't you wish you'd had QUADS?? Not.)

 

[justmestace]

45,000 posts on the cruise meet boards!

Now THAT was a great number to get!!!

And just to let you know what kind of weirdo you guys are sailing with...I took a picture of the screen with 45000 posts and my name on there! Some people take pictures of their beautiful children, I take pictures of my computer screen....what's so bad about that???

 

[justmestace]

I know, I already said goodbye...

Just thought I'd see if we could get the Pirate game going again.

T.O.P. ??????

I need to learn how to count!

 

[justmestace]

Virgil, sending you a PM.........

Stacey

 

[Dancind]

Teresa, you need to send a family pic to Mary, so we can all see what you look like! Replied to your PM.

Nice newsletter, Mary. Checked out the new photos too. PinDiva, it looks like you and DH know how to have fun! I need to do some things, I know, like get the info to you so we can get buttons. Does this still seem far away to anyone else? Still trying to figure out if we can go to WDW in August.

Stacey, do you have any web space, or a hosting site? You do get a little web space with most service providers, not sure about AOL. If you know where your pics are located, I can tell you how to post them.


Smarty Jones lost the Belmont, kind of sad. I got caught up in the hype, but a hero (even a horse) would have been a nice thing right now.

Did anyone see Harry Potter yet? Wasn't it GREAT?

Thanks Stacey - what can I say - I give myself deadlines and I don't like to miss them. Glad you enjoyed the newsletter.

Good evening everyone... well really good morning I guess to us Easterners! I'm up way too late!!

Mary: Another great newsletter! Did I request pins? I can't remember!!! Sad when your mind goes...

Diana: Great picture of DD. I remember those days well.... probably because I still have all her costumes in the closet!!

OKay.. I'm going to bed...
Have a good one... and see ya in the morning!

 

[justmestace]

Wow....everyone must be out partying tonight.

Just got back from DS's practice game. There will be one every night (except Sunday) till the tournament, which we found out starts on the 15th. For our guys, it will probably end on the 15th.

Diana...I have an album on AOL. I think that's how I posted the link to my Snow White Garden....just can't seem to think straight these days. I also have an album in the DIS Photo Gallery...but I think it's under construction right now, so I can't add pics.

I know that TypeA personality, Mary.....we can't help ourselves. We're all perfectionists, right gaRry??

Lynda, sent an e-mail!

Well, far too much excitement for me for one day......So:

GOOD BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY MORNING TO ALL OF THE HOLIDAY CRUISERS!!

Another week closer!!!

Mary, maybe for the next newsletter, we should have everyone send a few items that are absolutely necessary to pack for the cruise? (other than the swim trunks, guys!)

'Night, All!

Stacey

Sunny Sunday Morning Cruisers!

Ok so the sun really isn't shining here, but it seemed like a good morning message.

Stacey I welcome any and all contributions to the newsletter. Just don't get too many as everyone has so much going on. So if you would like to send me your 3 must pack's for the cruise I'll be happy to add a section on that. I think it will be fun!

Leslie - don't worry about the buttons right now we still have a while to go. The button machine is stored in the attic and we'll bring it out in the Fall to do the buttons.

Well off to read the boards, go to church, and then we are off to see Harry Potter in Imax this morning!

Have a great day everyone!

Hi everyone!!!

Haven't posted or even read in a LONG time. We have had quite a bit going on here. For a while I thought we were going to have to cancel cruise, but it looks like we are still a GO.
Our move to GA got cancelled right after we returned from our WDW trip in April and that started a downhill spiral.
Things are getting back to normal now. We have a week and a half left of school, then I'll be home for the summer. Maybe then I get caught up with everything.

Just wanted to let you all know we are still around and plan to be there. Actually bought air last week! We added 3 ngihts at the Poly after the cruise also. Wanted to stay for New Years Eve, but air was much cheaper if we left on the 31st. At least that will give us 2 days to recover before returning to work on Monday.

If there is any really important info I need before I get caught up reading, would someone please email or PM me? Thanks!!

 

[justmestace]

Tina, hi!!! Glad to see you back again. Hopefully all is going well. I don't think you missed too much..a lot of fluff..except for Lynda's funny tales of her adventures to the World with Cash!
How old will your DD & DS be at cruise time? I've forgotten. They look very close to my DD & DS.

Mary...I know you'll enjoy Harry Potter....supposed to be the best so far.
I have now challenged my own pea-brain to come up with three important things to bring on the cruise.
Will e-mail them when I decide.

Have a great day!

Stacey

Hi - I also just wanted to say hi. I try to stay current with everyone, but then I have no time to post. DH, DS, and I made an unexpected trip to DW over Memorial Day w/end to visit DD. She attends UF and was feeling a bit homesick. Mickey's house is halfway - so off we went. We all had a wonderful time. DS got to go to SW w/end again and we just did a lot of relaxing and catching up. We're so blessed that our children still enjoy "hanging out" with Mom and Dad. She'll be home in @ 2 weeks - only 1 summer session this year.
Everyone have a wonderful week.
How many more to go?????

Cindy

 

[justmestace]

Just checking in. Spent most of the day so far organizing all of the info for my upcoming trips.
I'd been throwing everything into a desk drawer, and needed to keep track of the to-do lists, etc.....so I gave each trip a separate folder, and have notes on what still needs to be done, by what date.....
Is that insane?
See, this is what happens to me when I'm at home and have too much time on my hands. I'm better off going to Vegas or something.
Or cleaning closets........no...bad idea.
Obviously, we didn't go to the cabin. I didn't get the tire fixed yet.

Now I'm going to start typing out my agenda (shore excursions and all) for the cruise, and the packing lists. Hey, this is nothing , one year I got made fun of by friends because I made detailed notes on the parks, the rides we wanted to go on & in what order, all of our PS's....and then laminated them! I swore after the ribbing I took for that one, I'll never laminate anything again!!! LOL

See ya later,
Stacey

28 weeks to go!

Tina & Cindy - so nice to see you guys checking in!

Stacey - we loved Harry Potter and seeing it in Imax made it that much better.
