I'm worth $2,106,756.84 
DH will be glad to hear this.
We did have a brother Larry (my BIL), a brother Darryl (my step bro), and a brother Darrell (DH's brother) step bro passed away, so now we just have brother Larry and Darrell. We did introduce them that way when they were all together....brother Larry, brother Darryl and other brother Darrell.

Finally a Barbie I can relate to. At long last, here are some NEW Barbie dolls to coincide with her and OUR aging gracefully. These are a bit more realistic...
1. Bifocals Barbie. Comes with her own set of blended-lens fashion frames in six wild colors (half-frames too!), neck chain, and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.
2. Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie's bellybutton and watch her face turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her forehead. Comes with handheld fan and tiny tissues.
3. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie's hormone levels shift, see her whiskers grow. Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.
4. Flabby Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with these new, roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news on the tummy front, two-MuMus with tummy-support panels are included .
5. Bunion Barbie. Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll on Barbie's dainty arched feet. Soothe her sores with the pumice stone and plasters, then slip on soft terry mules.
6. No-More-Wrinkles Barbie. Erase those pesky crow's-feet and lip lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie's own line of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.
7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader is really paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for Babs and Ken, Jr Comes with minivan in robin-egg blue or white and a cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.
8. Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It's time to ditch Ken. Barbie needs a change, and Alonzo (her personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered, along with Prozac. They're hopping in her new red Miata and heading for the Napa Valley to open a B&B. Includes a real tape of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do."
9. Divorced Barbie. Sells for$ 199.99. Comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, and Ken's boat.
10. Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up with the ultimate party girl. Now she does Twelve Steps instead of dance steps. Clean and sober, shes going to meetings religiously. Comes with a little copy of The Big Book and a six-pack of Diet Coke.
11. Post-Menopausal Barbie. This Barbie wets her pants when she sneezes, forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick and tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, the book "Getting In Touch with Your Inner Self" is included.

I GOT OUR DOCS TODAY!!!!!!
So, I'm guessing since there are only 3 pages since I signed off here at 9:30am that everyone else got their docs today too!!!
I was hoping that they'd have snuck in a list for the formal nights with the formal ad, but no such luck
One question though, I got the docs for the 2 rooms I originally booked but not for the one I recently added. I was a GTY but had been assigned a room on 11/5. Could this be why I didn't get them?
Now I think I can officially begin packing!

Happy Friday Everyone!!
UPS guy was just here, but no docs. It was Kristen's luggage instead. At least she can start packing now. What was funny is that after he delivered he sat in front of the house for a really long time. I was hoping he realized he had another package for me and was trying to find it, but no luck!
After 2 days of work I am finally catching up on all the posts.
I would love to join the walking group too. I try to walk daily. Not sure if I would want the early or later shift. I usually have a hard time sleeping on vacation and get up early, but it willd depend on how late we stay up.
Our weekend isn't too busy. Kristen has a volleyball tournament Sunday but we are actaully free on Sat. I think we are going to try to finish up all Christmas shopping so we can ship to Texas.
I might even try to make it to chat tonight!

I'm worth $1,988,375.42.
I don't like the question about how much you make....I had to put "unemployed." There is an internet thing out there for homemakers that relates activites you do to your worth---like if the family had to hire a maid, a laundry service, a chef, an errand boy, etc etc. I'm worth much more on that survey!!
But just the same, maybe I should up my insurance....I'm not insured for 1.9M!

Ah ha, found it...And this is PER YEAR (based on 1995 stats)!!!!!!!! Plus I'm more than just a "tutor" so I'll be upping that salary!!! I'll be speaking to ohiomickey about this tonight! 
HOW MUCH IS THAT STAY-AT-HOME WIFE AND MOTHER?
If you're a stay-at-home wife and mother, you're worth a whopping $120,900 a year, that's because your mate would have to pay $2,325 a week to hire people to perform all the jobs you do, according. to U.S. government statistics Here's what it would cost to hire someone to do these jobs for a week, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 1995 Employment and Earnings report:
1. Child care worker - $182.
That's the amount working parents fork out for a fulltime child care worker to look after and feed their children.
2. Cook - $238
3. Dishwasher and kitchen cleaner - $225.00
That's what an expert makes working full-time in the catering and food preparation business.
4. Laundry worker - $199
You're worth $199 a week to wash, dry and fold Your family clothes and linens.
5. Chauffeur - $362
Professional drivers pocked $362.00 a week. But you may be worth more since you're at your family's beck and call 24 hours a day.
6. Maid - $182
7. Recreation coordinator - $303
You should be paid $303 a week to plan and execute your children's playtime schedule.
8. Tutor - $228.00
9. Bookkeeper/Secretary -- $389
Tally all those figures and you'll find you could be earning
a cool $120,900 a year doing the work you do for free.

Sorry Minnie!! I couldn't find one. I know I've seen one before. I did find a calculator to see how much your "poo" is worth
. No, I didn't try it.

Okay....I did the "How much are you worth" for Jay.....
First let me say that NOW I know why TFD is worth so much money!!!
Jay is worth 3,962,365.38.......guess I'll keep him around for a while.
I got the letters sent off to the kids' teachers...so far the ones that have come back have said that they will be done with everything by then. So, why are they still going to school? (Don't answer, I already know)

Funny little story:
A couple of years ago when Jay & I were in Curacao, we went out on a dive trip with our friends. Also along for the trip were two couples who had just gotten off of a cruise ship.
The one couple were fairly young, the other a tad older. The younger wife was talking to her husband about how cool it was that they got the free upgrade on their stateroom.
The older wife starts to go insane on them....."Why did you get an upgrade? From what to what? I tried to get that room and couldn't....." on and on and on......
Young couple was totally unfazed by all of this. They remained polite. I had no idea what they were talking about, Jay & I hadn't cruised yet.
We had to listen to the older woman try to convince us all how much she is "worth" on the entire boat trip. And about how experienced a diver she was.
During the first dive, the older lady came up before the others and was complaining about some other doggone thing.
Then.....she dries off, gets out her bag, and proceeds to re-apply all of her makeup. Foundation, blush, mascara, eyeliner.....the whole bit! We still had one more dive to do!!
Did the other dive.....and yep...Mrs. I'm So Experienced came up early again. AND re-applies all of her makeup.
After that, our entire group referred to her as the "Cruise Ship Maven"...and I wasn't sure I wanted to cruise, ever. I was thinking that all cruisers were a little off the beaten path like her.
Glad I changed my mind.
