Good morning everyone! Happy Thursday!

Looks like things got quiet last night after all that dessert talk

Virgil - have a safe trip to Tampa. Hope you find what you are looking for.

I'm off to read the rest of the boards - check back later!

Man were you busy while I was gone! Had to drive to DC for a meeting yesterday, and DD had girl scouts last night.

Gail, DD is going to sleep over girl scout camp this summer too, but down in VA. She's been the last two years, and really likes the camps. She'd really like to get into theater groups, but there's not much for kids down here.

Since I missed the donut/dessert talk, I'll start it up again My favorite Krispy Kreme is boston creme (custard filled with chocolate on top). It's my favorite donut period, but KK makes them the best imo! And I love any dessert they serve on the cruise. My general rule of thumb on the cruise is to eat half of whatever is on my plate, since they give you so much food. But I always eat all my desserts!! DH had some kind of hazlenut souffle thing in Triton's on our 4 day trip that was to die for! We haven't had the Palo's souffle but that's on our list this time.

I'm still on my diet for now, but once I'm on that ship, it's no holds barred! I expect to walk on deck 4 every day, and maybe do an aerobics or yoga class, but hey, what's vacation for?

Happy Thursday all! Lisa

Good morning everyone,
Now I know why I don't like the donuts on the ship, they are Krispy Kreme's. I am just not a KK girl.

I usually walk the stairs for my excercise. It's not that far when you usually stay on deck to to walk up 1 flight to go to dinner, then use that excuse for an extra dessert. But seriously, most of the time it was just quicker to walk than wait for the elevator.

Good Morning!

I tried to get on last night for almost an hour and couldn't. Gave up and went to bed.

I thought you guys had finally figured out a way to get rid of me once and for all.

I wanted to tell Virgil to have a safe trip....so, WVMD, when you get back, I hope it was a good trip.

Will try to check in later, but it's going to be a busy busy day and evening.

Have a great day all!!!

P.S. Rainy here today and tomorrow....getting Matt's storm (thanks Matt)

P.P.S.

We walk the stairs too, because it's faster...and even with that, and all the swimming and walking, I still don't lose weight.

It's because all that excercise works up an appetite!!




Have a good one!!!

Hi Lisa.........After reading your post , I checked the deck plans on this home page.

I can't tell if there is a running track. Is there one?

I'll have to do something about burning some calories while on board because I tend to gorge and overeat way too too much!!!!!!!!

 

[wdwgoose]

AFFFF YES BUT NO


there is deck 4 under the life boats its walk jog type reaall y not too bad, nice place to relax not a whole lot of cruisers go there, that might be because you have too know how to get the doors open, you'll see what I mean.its fun to watch the people at those doors.

just me being mean

another day at work.

You guys were busy last night! Just reading about all the food this morning is making me hungrier. But, I've got to be a good girl and lose that weight before December. This morning I weighed in 17 lbs lighter than when I started first of January, so I am pretty pleased. Hope I can continue and lose another 10 before we leave for Hawaii in April.

It's almost the end of February. Wasn't DCL going to annouce their summer 2005 cruise itineary at the end of the month? I've been checking every day, but nothing has shown up yet.

Who was it that was going to the Disney meeting in New York that they got a special invite to? Has it happened? They were going to fill us in when they returned.

And Matt, thanks for the storm. It is raining and snowing in Utah again. Suppose to storm all day today and tomorrow and be a crummy weekend.

[jilljill]

gaRry, I have to agree with you (I can't believe I just said that) it is a lot of fun to watch people try and open the doors. Then the look on their faces when they do open .....some of them are priceless.

Happy Thursday everyone.

Linda, It was David (djs113) that had the special invite in NY.
Weather here in NY is in it's 40's today. I can smell spring around the block.
I have been on a mission also to loose 10 lbs before December and get in shape. The get in shape part is going well. I even worked out every other day on the cruise. What a beautiful gym on the Celebrity Summit. I do not remenber the gym on Disney?Has anyone used it on previous DC's?????????????? I did loose about 3 pounds so far and I did not gain anything on the cruise.I was lucky this time around. DD birthday is March 13th so I am on my way to look at the place she wants to have a cooking party at. Time goes so fast. I can't believe she will be 7 in 3 weeks.

Have a great day everyone. Fondly-Gail

 

[Donalds_best_pal]

Sorry Stacy!
They made it sound like here, that the world was coming to an end. It rained hard all night but nothing beyond that. We are supposed to get more rain in the afternoon. Hopefully by the weekend it will get better.

Off to school! Bye

Matt

 

[jilljill]

My guess will be any and all major announcements will be after the shareholder's meeting next Wednesday. If I find out anything I will post it when I get home that day.

 

[lneeley]

Thanks jilljill!

 

[tkd lisa]

I've used the gym. It's in the back of the spa, and is available at no charge. The standard treadmill type things, and a few weight machines. It overlooks the bridge.

And yes, the deck 4 track is "officially" a running/walking track, but I wouldn't want to run on it. I've definitly walked it a lot and that's pretty comfortable. I've noticed most people on the treadmills are runners.

You guys keep all that rain out west! It's been beautiful sunny weather here. Supposed to stay that way through the weekend, with highs moving up into the low 60s for the weekend!

 

[WDWLVR]

Lisa - you are safe for a while. It is beautiful and sunny here in Chicago no weather to head your way.

I like walking around deck 4 especially when you are up front near the giant ropes and anchor. Quite fascinating. We've done it more as a before dinner stroll.

 

[lneeley]

On all the DCL cruises I've been on, believe it or not, I have never taken any of the "group" exercise classes. Do they charge? I know when we went on RCCL last year they charged for Pilates and other exercise stuff. They nickeled and dimed us to death!

[lneeley]

Just looked at the Wonder in port. Looks a little overcast today there in Florida.

 

[jilljill]

I am so excited - we now have foundation walls at the new house
They are saying that our target date of 6/18 will not be met now. I guess that gives us more time for packing up and stuff.

My friend just got in from WDW a few minutes ago and said it was snowing in NC on her way home this morning. They can keep that weather down there, we only want

 

[lneeley]

Congrats on the foundation! It is so exciting to see your house being built. I know when we built ours, it was a long process, but when it was done, it was well worth it. (Or, should I say when we moved in.......I don't think we will ever be done!)

Linda

 

[wdwgoose]
