Okay, I have to go finish Christmas cards and then head to bed.

Night All!

I haven't found the instructions regarding the ornament exchange - $$, per person do we need to sign up or just show up? Who's in charge??

I'm in charge. No rules. Something that either represents you, or your area, or is homemade, or is store bought, or Disney, or whatever.

I actually was looking for something in the place we stash Christmas gifts and found something VERY VERY interesting. No longer will you have to deal with my outdated, homemade ornament. I found something MUCH MUCH better. The DIS ppl will get it instead of the stinky in-laws!!! It fits you guys better anyway!!!! Why waste the magic on them!!

I plan on giving them phone cards...

We've done this on the last night a few times and they are MUCH appreciated. This time we're giving them Wal*mart gift cards. Heard they like those too as a shuttle picks them up with they are in Port Canaveral and Wal*mart is one of the stops on the loop. Walked into Wal*mart one day and they have them in the cutest of designs, so I got 15 of them. Might not use all of those, but if not, they'll spend when I get home.

I always give a couple to the kids to give to the "counsellors that make their cruise special." You wouldn't believe the response the kids get when they present them a phone card (or gift card) using words similar to that!!!

edited b/c I got 15, not 10. What was I thinking?

I love the "In-Law" digs. I for one am so happy to get away from mine this year (my own family isn't much better). I hate to sound so negative but after years of trying to get along and smiling in the face of insults and rudeness, the farther away from them I can get, the better. They are not nice people and don't pretend otherwise.

I love my new Flounder Avitar

Happy Birthday Denise!!!!

Life begins at 40. That's what I say!!

 

[magiroux]

HA, talking to myself and scored a TOP!!!

That's #2...look out Stacey, I'm catching up

 

[magiroux]

Linda, my condolences to you and your friend's family. I can not imagine anything more horrible for a family than a tragedy like that. I will say a prayer tonight for them. I am truly sorry.

Great! Can't wait to meet you all... do we know what the dining rotation is by any chance?
Thanks to all for the PM's etc regarding Jessie... you can't know how I appreciate the support.

Gotta get to bed too...early day tomorrow and I've GOT to get some lists made and at least start to gather the clothes.... I know they say 2 bags per person but can you get away with more???

We have a huge group of dog, cat and Bear lovers!

We are on the APL rotation.

Christine, I sent you a pm about late seating. I need some info from you if you wished to be linked.

Thank heavens I'm not the only one!!!

Good Night All...
It is way past my bedtime for a week night.

Why the US Navy is better than the Iraqi Navy

OM, I saw that post before you got the pics up, and I though what the?

No, really, are those honest to goodness Navy guys? Could you take that pic off before DD sees it, we don't want her enlisting.

Actually, I goofed up. I knew I needed to insert an Image....so I clicked "I". Turns out, instead of inserting the image, I just italicized it! I'm such a genius!!

Anyway, seriously? I'll take them off if you want me to. I assume they are Navy guys. Looks like Navy equipment in the background.

You should have heard her talking about that kid in front of her in that picture. Something about the Grand Canyon and his trunks needed more material on the top portion.......

Not a pretty picture.

Goodie! I'm all alone now. I can do my confession...and in the morning there will be so many pages, no one will see them. Yes, them...I got a million of 'em!


1. I did this one already, but the "newbies" may not have read all the pages....so here goes again: I am a SMOKER. GASP! (Yeah, that's me, gasping for breath) I am a very considerate smoker, so I hopefully will not cause anyone any problems or inconvenience. Jay hates my smoking...so I can't smoke in the house, car, shop.....

2. Like Mary, I am a "meat and potatoes" person. No sauces, creams, whatever. You will see me eat a lot of steak and chicken. Lobster, yes....Shrimp, yes....but not much more. I DO, however, like condiments.

3. I like the occasional margarita or glass of champagne, but on the whole, Jay and I don't drink. Some of the DISer's have seen what happens to me when I do have a drink or two. Not pretty. But you will probably be witness at one point or another to what happens when I drink. That's when you may see Lisa.

4. I too, have been going to the tanning bed. Fat looks much better tan (in my opinion). Actually, I burn really badly, so I'm building a base tan. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

5. I have gained a ton of weight since the pictures Mary has up. I mean a TON. I have rolls and lumps. I hope you like me any way. At least I'm happy!

6. Last one....I promise....I have really ugly scars underneath each of my arms. I will be wearing sleeveless because I like to be comfortable. But, at least now when you see them, you won't be shocked. They run from the armpit to the elbow. A couple of years ago, I had surgery to remove 2.5 inches of fat and excess skin. No idea why the scars turned out looking so bad....the incision was very thin and tidy.
So, there you have it. Way more than anyone really wanted to know. But, hey....I'm honest!

No, we got a good laugh at it. Kevin says those are probably Seals. You know, divers.

But now I know why DD looks annoyed in this picture.
