This is rather sad, I'm all alone on a Friday night and I'm going to go to bed early.
G'night all

 

[justmestace]

Goodnight, jilljill...sorry I missed you! We must have been on the same wave length today...I stopped in at DQ after picking up my new glasses & had a "lunch" of a dipped cone!

GaRry.....the stage coach did not arrive yet Tomorrow, probably. Besides, it's the Pony Express now...much faster.

I bought Frommer's Caribbean Cruises and Ports of Call 2004 to get info on the ports & excursions. It's great, because it lists the standard ship excursions, and also ways to do things on your own. That's how I figured out what I want to do already. I mean, we figured out what we want to do.
I wrote an e-mail to Captain Nautica's to see if they were going to be doing excursions to St. John on Christmas day...that was last night late. I haven't heard back yet.

Haven't found out about the helicopter yet. There weren't any tv news choppers out there, and our local paper (all 5 pages of it) only comes out once a week, and by then it will be old news, so I may never know. Had dinner tonight at one of our local hang-outs, half the town was there, but I forgot to ask if anyone knew anything. Too busy gossiping.

After I picked up my glasses and had my ice cream cone, I went to the Disney Store and practically bought them out. I got the stuff that Jay wouldn't let me buy in Las Vegas! Ssshh....
I love some of the new t-shirts! And they have some plush out now that I've never seen before....Owl, Rabbit, Si and Am, Scrooge McDuck. I turn in to a 5 year old in a Disney store!

Enough for now...checking my mail and such. Back in a while.

Great to see you, Ohiominnie! Was wondering where you'd been!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!


GOOD GORGEOUS SATURDAY MORNING!!!!


Stacey

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

I'm so glad the weekend is here! It's been a crazy week at work. Today is going to be a crazy day too, but I'm hoping that tomorrow can be a relaxing day where I can just play. I haven't scrapbooked our Dec trip yet and hope to do that.

Well off to read the boards.

Only 40 more Saturdays until we cruise!

 

[lneeley]

Good morning all. Yes, it's been a busy week. So busy, I am at work this morning. Got to get some stuff to our auditors by Monday morning and I never even had a chance to look at it yesterday.

Mary, yes, yes, yes 40 weeks away. I just keep getting more and more excited.

I am so disappointed our Disney Store closed here. But then, look at the money I'm saving. Will give me more to spend on the cruise.

I emailed Coral World last night to find out about Seatrekking. It sounds like so much fun!

Okay, off to work I go!

Linda

 

[jilljill]

Stacey, which Disney Store is located near you?
All DVD's are 15.99 this weekend at the DS. On Tuesday several titles are going up in price, to either $22.99 or $25.99. Just wanted to let you all know in case anyone is interested.

 

[justmestace]

Good Morning!!

I can't tell you how nice it is to be home for once, and to only need to do laundry...no paper work on my mind

Am going to run to the post office to see if Pony Express delivered my video. I'm so excited....but it will just make me want to go so much more!!

Mary, I'm with you....I was thinking how nice it will be to read a book this weekend! Heaven!

jilljill, the Disney Store that I go to is in Paradise Valley, at the Paradise Valley Mall. I OWN that mall They did point out that the dvd's were on sale...but we have almost all of them already!
Jordan was excited that I got us the two for one pj's. I thought she was going to go "teenager" on me, and be mad that we match. But we don't exactly...I got Grumpy, I got her Eeyore.
The new shirts are cool. Got Stitch's Surf Shop, Tink's Gym, and Eeyore. Those weren't on sale. Hard to imagine that the store may close when they're bringing in new merchandise. I can't go to the mall without going to the Disney Store.

In to the shower I go, then start the laundry. Will check back in in a little bit.

Stacey

 

[justmestace]

P.S.
I haven't heard back on my e-mail to Captain Nautica's. It would be nice to go to St. John and still get to see St. Thomas too.
I hate waiting for replies. I have no patience. Waiting for the cruise is going to cause me to really go crazy!!!
Too late...already there

We're trying to get in a couple of extra islands. Might make it easier to pick a destination for our next long snorkel trip.
But our friends usually like to go way further south. The water is warmer for them in the winter further south. They dive, so they wear wetsuits...guess it's a lot colder way down there below the surface.
The way I see it, is that we may never get to do a cruise with this particular itinerary, so may as well squeeze in a few extras!!

Bye for now

 

[justmestace]

Oh, and Linda.....sorry you have to work today. I really do feel for you! I hate doing that stuff......but it pays for the fun

Setting someone up for T.O.P. !!!!!

 

[jilljill]

Stacey, I see we have more in common: DQ, love of the DS and DCL, wine, picking on gaRry, shopping, and travelling. This could make for a dangerous time on the cruise

 

[lneeley]

Maybe
if
I
am
lucky,
I
can
get
the
top.........
Guess
I
better
see
if
the
Magic
is
in
port.

Linda

 

[lneeley]

Nope, but I was post #3550!

Hey were going to get to 3600, I can feel it now!

Linda

 

[jilljill]

Linda, congrats on #3550. Aren't you supposed to be working or are you taking a break?!?!?

 

[Donalds_best_pal]

Good Morning, (or afternoon for those of you in the east)

Hope everyones week went well. Nice and Sunny here, we have a realtor coming over today to tell us what to list our house at. I told myself I would update the list this weekend but keep putting it off. I really dont just want to give up on it though.
matt

 

[jilljill]

Good morning Matt.
Good luck on the list.

 

[jilljill]

Linda, did you find the Magic in port?

 

[lneeley]

jilljill-I'm still working, trying to check back in periodically. Seems pretty quiet. Where is everyone?

Checked the cam again. It hasn't been on the Magic yet. Just looked again and the camera finally moved, but it is NOT ON THE MAGIC! Some other ship. Looked like this morning it was focused on something over at Cape Canaveral. Anyway, I am hoping the cam will move. Maybe next time I look it will be there!

Anyway, I'm back to work again!

Linda

 

[lneeley]

Yeah jilljill, you even got the top!

Linda

 

[paulcrsb]

Pretty quiet today.

I saw us slipping down and thought I would give it a little bump!

Paul

 

[justmestace]

Dear bestest friend GaRry (along with jilljill, Mary, Linda, Lynda, Dee, Christy, Virgil, Paul, okay you get my drift)
Anyway, GaRry....I would like to personally thank you for making me look like the village idiot at the post office today
I wondered what you were getting at when you kept hoping that Jordan would share.
I opened my mailbox and saw the video and burst out laughing!!
I had about ten people look at me like I was nuts, so I just said "I love getting bills!"
Seems Mr. WDWGOOSE addressed the envelope to Jordan!
When I handed it to her, she was so confused! She's blonde, remember?? But she did share.

Totally AWESOME!!! I knew it would happen....I can't wait. I might die waiting. I really really hope my friend's DSD backs out of the June cruise!
DS was confused as to why he had never seen the shops on the ship! Because I didn't TAKE him there! heh heh. Hard enough to shake Jordan off to sneak in there. But she found it and I had to buy her stuff. I bought things for Jared, too...just not as much as he'd wanted if he'd gone in there. And besides, if he'd drag himself out of the arcade, he might have discovered there were shops.

Anyway....yes, jilljill, I think you are 100% correct. I even have shopping figured out on our excursions!

Back to the laundry for now. Couldn't just rest either...started cleaning out some drawers.

See ya later.
