That is sooo cute. We can't wait to meet your little Princess either! Hmm, do you think a 5'4" teen will pass as Tink for your daughter? She has blonde hair and blue eyes, if that helps. And she loves little kids, though she might be very busy with the teen crowd this time. I'll make sure Tinksdad sends her an answer when he gets back from scuba diving today.

Thanks, she is funny. She comes in the office to "check" on me and gets excited by all the moving icons on the screen. At 5, she is full of questions about everything. I showed her your response and the picture of Tink, she is really excited. As are we all.

Wrapping gifts and packing today. We leave in 3 days

 

[seaulater]

Where is everyone? Packing?

 

[sugaswim]

1 week until key west! i can't believe it. all day yesterday every time we looked at the clock we were figuring out what we would be doing at that exact time next week. i can't believe it's finally here. i am never going to make it through this week! i keep squealling and running around the house. my parents laugh at me. it's good times!

 

[MarkRG]

Actually, now that packing's done, been catching up on projects.

With the addition of a mail slot, I built a nice little table to catch the mail. Today I cleaned it up and gave it a coat of poly stain. Now I'm taking a teeny break and we're planning on going out.

YESTERDAY

Went to Best Buy

1. Picked up Stacey her battery for camera

2. Looked at the Epson Picturemate photo printer that Paul (or was it Ken) told me about. $199 at Best Buy, then $50 VISA rebate, and $40 Best Buy rebate, final cost $109

BOUGHT IT!

Thanks for helping me spend more money!!!!! Good news is I can bring with me and print out 100 pictures if I need to with the 4 x 6 prints and the ink cartridge. 29 cents per picture.

Got to try out that thing today!

DH thinks I am out of control. He said at store What do you need a 3rd photo printer for?

Well.................Paul said on the Dis Boards that this was the best and I could take on trips with me, besides we are having a little scrapbook get together and I need a printer! You should have seen the look on his face. At that point he just gave up, and went looking at digital video cameras. He wants one of those new ones with those DVD disks. Probably our next purchase. (Bet we have in time for Panama Canal cruise May 14, 2005)

Okay, DD is making CInnabon muffins. Work to do

I was kidding when I said you could bring the printer along and compete against Shutters. But now it could be a profit center for you.

Good Morning!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACI!!!! (From Stacey!)


The great "YOU HAVE TOO MANY BAGS!" debate started today. That's what I get for piling them in the living room instead of leaving them in various bedrooms!
The bag that was over-weight had some items removed, and I decided to put all of the meds, toiletries, curling irons, etc. into YET another bag. Aren't we planning on taking over the ship, and staying for an extra week or two? I have enough packed for it.
Tried telling Jay that 2 whole entire bags are full of things that aren't coming back...gifts, Xmas decorations, stuff like that. It seemed to help a little.
He's starting to get really worked up about the jobs he needs to finish before he leaves, so he went to work. YEA!! That way, he can't watch me put more stuff in the bags!
I forgot to put in envelopes for receipts and photos. Added those.
Almost done, though. Need Jared to try on a shirt that looks too small......ALL of his shirts will probably be too small before the end of the cruise, at the rate he's growing!

Back to work......TTYL......READY AND WAITING TO PLAY "WHERE'S BEAR"!!!!!

Forgot....the "extra" daughter showed up last night sometime after I went to bed. Her mom and new hubby went to their vacation home for the weekend, and she was staying at another friend's house. Those two got in a fight, so she came over here......

This one alone could probably give your whole gaggle of gigglers a run for their money, Ken.......she never stops.

I'm going to have to have a talk with her mom....just because she married a young guy with no kids, doesn't mean she doesn't still have kids to take care of! Some people never cease to amaze me.

Ken

If I throw my portable printer into a suitcase, that will be the straw that breaks the camel's (Jay) back!! He'd positively kill me. But it's really not a bad idea

 

[Cruisin'goose]

Oh yeah, ONE LAST THING!

You guys may win the last post contest, but my family will win the LUGGAGE ONE!In fact, once our luggage is all packed (at least 26 pieces, I am sure), we will get a picture. Anyone else taking "luggage" pictures, get me a copy, so I can put in our CD-RW from the cruise that I am putting together.

Linda

Our luggage is packed and on it's way to FLA!! I went to bed at 0700 when Garry left. I had to finish seperating all of the shirts, bag them by family and pack them for gaRry to deliver.

 

[scuba diver]

We got one last month. Sony and it is cool. I'll make sure to show it to him, not in any way encourgaging him!

I keep thinking about getting this printer also. If Best Buy was here in Monroe I would most likely have it but I haven't had time to drive to Toledo. Now that DH is on his way I guess I could get it and bring it with me, but I am supposed to have "carry on bag only".

 

[tinkfan]

Oh, whoever was asking last week about Music From the Park?

Please bring CD so I can borrow to make copy on my laptop to use a song or two in our CD-RW with the pictures!

Linda,
That was me and its already packed. Just remind me to let you borrow it!

 

[tinkfan]

Happy Birthday Staci!!

okay, not too productive here so far.

We are heading out to do a little shopping before taking Kristen to volleyball practice. After practice we have a parents meeting, so it will take forever!

I am working Mon - Wed, don't know what possessed me to take a three day job this week, but I guess I work better under pressure!
I may be a raving lunatic by Thursday.

 

[Cruisin'goose]

WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!!

DD'S Team won their division at the Regional Competition yesterday. How exiting is this!!! They did an awsome job, hitting all of their stunts, and everyone did a fantastic job with their tumbling. Now the down side is I have to book the flight out before leaving Thursday AM and get everything settled before going.

 

[Cruisin'goose]

I am feeling pressure!! CALGON TAKE ME AWAY - except I'm still on post-op tub bath restrictions.
Cannot wait until we are sitting back on the Magic with a glass of wine, good book and good friends!!!

 

[dobelover]

Vicki - Congrats to Vanessa on the WIN.

You and me, both. I am almost in tears here. I am so scattered it isn't even funny. The kids are bugging me, I keep going from one thing to the next, in no particular order.......(picture a chicken with it's head cut off)
