I think we are done with the shopping frenzy (I hope) Aimee got a beautiful new silk formal from the Jones New York outlet. But....okay, there will be a stop at the Ron Jon's sports shop. Does that count as "cruise shopping" and not pre-cruise shopping?

Hi Guys,

Well i bought a pair of shorts & a new Tee today. So now I think my shopping is done. We have 4 duffle bags and they are about 36 lbs each. So no issue from the airlines.

If everyone can keep there fingers crossed for us tomorrow, we may be in deep *&#@ about going on the cruise. A couple months ago we transfered house insurance to a new national company. Up front we told then we are renovating our house ourselves ( with friends help, Hi Peter !!). Well now the corporate offices want to cancle out house insurance because one side of a garage wall has Tyvek weaterproof membrane up and not the new clapboards. Well here in NH it has been a little impossible to work yet. They want the wood up by June 2nd. That is impossible, and they would not accept a release from me against any claims until the wood is up. Tomorrow I will get the decision if I will be given an extension to June 16th... If not, I am not sure what we will be able to do...

We appreciate all fingers crossed for us...

Bye, Kim

Kim...
Fingers, toes, eyes and every other appendage will be crossed.. as well as tons of pixie dust, prayers and well wishes being sent your way.
How can they be so unreasonable!! I hope it works out for you...please don't let it ruin your trip...somehow it will be okay.

Intervention!​

Yes, I am in dire need of an intervention. I have opened the locked suitcase twice already... and now I'm going to do it again. I don't even know what I have in there now..... Hopefully something suitable for tea....

Oh my lord! We need help. I just bought three new caftans, five new tunic-style tee shirts and two more pair of capris.... I think I'm gonna need a 12-step program! Leslie, I'm there for you, girl! (nothing like the blind leading the blind, huh?)

[BobandLee]

Super! THanks so much! Enjoyed watching it. Better than being in the crowd in my opinion!

Here's hoping that Wed. won't be crowded anymore? Taking DS there for his 6th birthday - and warming us up for the cruise!

Kendra

Your son's birthday is wednesday? If so, he couldn't have a better day for it. Linda (seaulater) and mine are on the 11th. We'll both be 29.

MOI?!?!?!?!?

Actually, I went to the mall yesterday.........(wasn't gonna mention it...deny everything...)......just bought a new pair of tennies....thinking my on-again/off-again knee problem would go away....it works! Knee is fine today!!!

Then went to Target, where it hit the fan......I'm afraid to weight my big suitcase.....but I need to, or do they have a place onboard to weigh your bag? They should....some enterprising cabin steward could make a mint........$1 a bag, lady? (That's NOT a $1 bag lady...)

So, Margaret---Carol cancelled your ride to the port....is that OK?

 

[BobandLee]

Hello all.......

So....also taking into account that rumor has it MnM's have been discontinued in scoops......we decided to bring custom MnM's for our special cruise friends that have been making this past 6 months so great!!!! (although the girls have a little something different for the kids on the cruise, but we will save that as a suprise)... We are truly grateful for all you have done and the hard work you have put in this past year to make such special times for people you have never met.

Im going to try to post a pic - (these little suckers were hard to take a pic of...) but the phrases we used (that met the guidelines and fit on the the M) were
-DIScover Magic
-REPO This
-Kingdom 2 Kingdom (the only way it would fit on the little thing...LOL)
-We're #1
-Magical Cruise
-WestBound
-MAGIC

And then we dropped in a couple of pink ones with our names, so that you guys knew they were from me and my sister and the girls.

So, we hope you can use them on your ice cream or take them with you to the movies and have a treat on us!! Although I am a bit worried about how to make sure everyone gets theirs...we dont really have them labeled by room, so as much as I hate it, I guess when they are gone , they are gone...although we have about 200 bags and a few back up plain green (no writing bags)...(if anyone has any good ideas about how to best distribute then I would be happy to hear them)

(Gosh, I hope this works)

Thanks - this got awfully long winded....but I look forward to checking in with you guys from WDW during the next week and cant wait to meet you all!!!


Michelle aka NEM (with help and deep thanks from Jennifer, Bailey, Ashton, Beaux and Baby Bella)

PS...the girls are so excited they can hardly stand themselves. They cannot wait to meet and make new friends...

They look way too cool to eat. What a wonderful idea. Great job!

Oh Kim and Bette, I'm so sorry! I will be praying and thinking about you guys tomorrow. That is just downright stupid that they won't even accept a release?! Seems to me as though you have a really good friend Peter, and willing to work for steak sandwich no less! Good luck you guys, it's TOO close to cruise time to be dealing with something like this!

[Regina]

Forget Tussy.. we need ShopAholics Anonymouse... Randall , Regina... are you in??

What?? Give up my hobby?? Have you lost your mind?

Bettemom, I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this stress. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll find someone who's reasonable to work this out with.

 

[BobandLee]

Sorry... didn't mean to make you spew your diet coke...
Well.. I don't know about anyone else.. but if there's M&M's to be had.. WE'LL FIND YOU!! Hint: Just look for me anywhere there is SHRIMP!

SHRIMP, PINS, SPAS, ADULT BEVERAGES......

 

[Kevin&Randall]

Forget Tussy.. we need ShopAholics Anonymouse... Randall , Regina... are you in??

I'm not allowed to shop anymore. Well, I can look as much as I want. I can't purchase. Long story. But I'm willing to be there as a support for anyone.

This was one very productive weekend. And I'm ready to collapse. Saturday we got the dogs groomed (there's another story), did another Target run, visited my parents (early Mom's Day), did laundry and wrote up directions on how to operate the TV. Huh? Yeah, my parents are staying here while we are away to baby sit the doggies and the TV / surround sound system is a bit complicated.

Today, we packed... and packed... and cleaned. Did I mention my parents were staying here while we were away? Of course, the house has to be "parental clean." You know, that June Cleaver level of cleanliness that only comes from scrubbing the floor on your hands and knees. My parents say not to do anything special. RIGHT...

So we now have four bags packed and stuff left over. Either something has to come out, or we have to squish. We'll probably squish. We took Friday off from work, so only 4 work days left. This week is going to D----R----A----G--- along. I want to get on with this cruise!!!

Maybe I need to hold Storytime one afternoon and fill in all the blanks. Promenade Lounge, Sunday, May 22, 3:00 pm. Come one, come all! Honestly, I'm kidding. Kay, this does not need to be added to our daily events. No need to put it on the mini-Navigator. I can see Kevin rolling his eyes when he reads this.

It's very early, but I'm so tired. I think I'll head to bed. What is scary about that is we'd just now be sitting down for dinner. I'll be out by appetizer! How will I survive this?!?

Good night all.

Randall

 

[BobandLee]

and by the way

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL!

My dear 4 legged kids gave me a beautiful Mickey Mothers Day card and breakfast in bed... which of course they wanted to share!
....

Tippy used to carry the mother's day card to the bedroom, jump on the bed and drop it. Now, since she has seniority, she just looks at the card in a way the says "you want me to do what?"
She would help with the breakfast though.

 

[mark & sandra]

Wow I guess things got out of hand on the other repo cruise thread. Anyway I guess you guys are all ready for your cruise next week. Remember to post some live updates for us!!

Hey Bob, it's not so bad over here. The waters a bit chillier, but the company is great!!...Mark

 

[Luv2Dream]

Gee, Mark, I'm not Bob, but I thought I'd pop in........water seems fine.......nice to see you.....
