2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 5

[Garfield]

Sure it does - why with just my post and then your response and then this bit of drivel, heck we got three posts out it.

Now you've got three more out of it - that makes six

...and to think, it all started with a well-meaning post

Why thank me very much CD

I cant wait till DCL announces the new ship and that it will be going to Alaska ( PLEASE DCL We want to go back, this time on a DISNEY ship)

Fantastic pictures! I have been twice, but am planning a 3rd. This time will just be my mom and me. I hope DCL adds a cruise to Alaska too. That gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Disney On Ice".

Interesting news tonight. The director and stage manager told me that Nick's hair needs to be dyed blonde. Right now he's what I'd call a dirty blonde, but for the play to work, he needs to be BLONDE. During the play he'll get his hair painted (probably with some spray) purple, and then washed, then green, then washed!! So his hair really needs to be blonde so the colors show up! Weird. I'm taking my 9 yr old son in to have his hair colored. Only for the theater, eh?

U TOP! pdfg

OMG - that is just too funny. Is he ok with it??

Ya know, the weird thing is....I live in Ohio and have my whole life....and I cannot remember ONE TIME ever going to Indiana. And I'm |-----| this close!

It's okay. I think the only time I've gone to Ohio is to go to King's Island twice (one of those times I was in high school) and flying into the Cincy airport which doesn't really count. My best friend from my adult life just moved to Dayton though, so I might have to make a road trip there sometime!

And I've lived in Indiana my entire life....but on the Illinois side.

Yeah, I think he is. (ok, what's that say about my son???)

I think it helps that the main character has really really dark black hair.....and he has to bleach his and then dye it red. So it's not like Nick is the only one doing it (hey, all you're friends are doing it, that makes it right, eh?)

Here's the picture from the theater's website about this play:

That's little blonde "Nick" peeking his head around on the far left.

Well, now, see, I was in Dayton just YESTERDAY so it's almost like we met!

Not so strange. DD started dying her hair semi permanent at age 5. Then she started doing the highlighting by 7. Now at age 9 she dyes abd highlights. I have only highlighted my hair once. I didn't like it and decided to go gray gracefully.

That sounds so cool. I'd love to see a picture!

I will try to find my camera plugs and upload this weekend!

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Tip Of The Day


An investment in Hefty 2.5 gallon zip bags makes packing and travel much easier.

We use these bags for packing all the time. Swimsuits in one, underwear in another, t-shirts, shorts, you get the idea. If you are flying and have your bags searched by TSA you won't have anyone handling your clothes.

Now here's a tip for those with kids. Put a differnt complete outfit in each back. Underwear, socks, bottom, top. When you get to the ship just unpack the bags but don't open them. Each morning you have the clothes for the day ready. If the kids can dress themselves even better. No more mis-matched items or looking for missing pieces.

The bags also work great to take dry shirts with you on excursions or to keep your books, camera, etc. clean and dry while on CC.

Well it will give you a chance to do some head shots of him with blond hair. As long as Nick is ok with it could be fun. When is opening night?

Ok, I'm back from my VIP event and I'm exhausted!! I met some terrific ladies and am inspired to start volunteering more. The Race for the Cure is next weekend, and while I'm not ready to race, I will try to volunteer that day. I used to volunteer a lot more before I had kids, but after the girls came, life got a little busy (can you believe it???).

I just can't believe that at all.

Just wait, once they start school full time it gets worse.

Glad you did a good deed!

How does Nick feel about all this?

Cameron would have a fit. I've tried several times to get him to add some highlights to his hair and he'll have no part of it.

Yup, thanks for reminding me. Must email director and set up time for photo shoot. They require an 8X10 black and white for the theater's lobby.

Opening night is one month from yesterday...October 26th.

My sister cancelled our trip to NC. Turns out she's as busy as we are! So at least Nick won't miss those days.

When the director and stage manager were talking about it last night (and running their fingers through Nick's hair) he was like "whatever." But of course, Mike and my reaction was pretty laid back too....more of of "sure, not a problem, he's going in Monday for a haircut I'll see if it can be done then" instead of a "WHAT??? You want to do WHAT to my baby's hair??????"

Also helps that "Jake" must go from dark black to red (his choice to do that)

Good luck with all that.

You might have to make regular appointments for him every 6 weeks to keep up the new look. Or at least until it grows out if it's really obvious.


I wish I could go back to not coloring my hair --- but the thought of being gray just doesn't appeal to me. It's bad enough that Gary gets confused for the kids grandfather sometimes as he's very silver now, no need to add Mom into that mix too.

Oh, I didn't want to hear that. Walking out last night I told Mike "but coloring Nick's hair isn't in the budget" (which, for the first time in our 15 yrs of marriage we're actually trying to make and STICK to!!)

New Mouse Matters is up. I think ya'll will get a kick out of it.....especially in light of the fact that you'll soon be sailing away.....

You could always try to do it at home. I haven't ventured there yet for myself but when I walk out of the salon with $125 less than I walked in, I'm really tempted.

I know many people who do it at home without any problems. I'm just afraid that I'd end up with bright green hair knowing my luck.
