Diana good to hear that the health dept. is following up on things.

Our cruise docs are being sent today!!! Just got off the phone with DCL - they had to call for an address because we have a P.O. Box and they can only send the docs UPS.

23 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris - the flowers sound beautiful!

Bachlorette party - how many people are we up to? What are we looking to do?

If you want to dance, listen to the band etc. I suggest Wavebands. Downside is that it can get loud. So great for dancing, not so great for talking.

If you want something a little quieter, and a little more classic then I suggest the Cadillac lounge. It is the piano bar. Much more intimate. It would be easier to talk but other patrons might be a little upset if we get too loud.

If you want something a little decadant and everyone is up for a small charge what about the Rainforest room in the vista spa from 9-10 (when it closes). I've known someone who has brought his own mammosa's in there.

If you want something more casual where we can all laugh and have a good time what about meeting up by the adult pool on deck 9. There are tables we can put together. I think the bar stays open pretty late there or someone could bring a bottle of champagne and some glasses.

I like the poolside idea. I guess we should wait to see what Julie likes.

Me too poolside, but Julie should pick what she wants. I'll be glad to be where it makes her happy.

Yippee Yaaah!

 

[chipscinderelly]

Ask and ye shall receive, LOL. This is my babies last winter.

awww they are too cute!

and I am a gazillion pages back and may never catch up!

 

[chipscinderelly]

Tonight is Friday night so that means cruise chat. Who is up for going in early in a private room like last week?

I know that many of you like the private room because it doesn't move as fast as the main room and we can talk about this cruise in particular.

If enough people want to I suggest showing up at 8:30 Eastern/7:30 Central in either room 1 or 2 (I'll post what room here on the thread once we are in it).

If there isn't much interest I'll head to the main room. Karen won't be in chat tonight and I'll watch the main room, but only if you guys don't want to get together.

I'm going to log on late and see if you guys are still around.. I have dinner at 6:30pm

 

[chipscinderelly]

I am too Mary! I had somehow managed to convince myself that I had been banned and would never talk to you guys again.

ditto!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Bakery I cannot believe you will still have those little mice long enough to take a pic.

Disney Sales, Our stores don't seem to carry adult size clothing...if at all it would be rare.

Speaking of rare, Wendys--eeyyyyeeeew again to them and yay for the health department.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Ilene, I love your puppy pics!

 

[chipscinderelly]

Me too, but with the one that's supposedly in the mail, my walls aren't going to have any more room, so I'm hoping for something different and unique!! I'm sure if Ducky had his hands in it, it's going to be beautiful!

Me too Diana! Given that we just got the new Giclee print or whatever atleast we have something cool and new for the wall.

Is anyone going to put that in something or just hang it? I'm worried about dust and getting ruined.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Oooh I'm intrigued by Linda's report. Not a litho and something Ducky designed.

 

[chipscinderelly]

My son (Ryan) made Homecomming Court! The dance is tomorrow night. Guess who is working the coat room. Me! I'll be able to sneek in and see him!

? I needed to order flowers for his date.I don't know the color of her dress. So I chose all white. What do you think?I still have time to add some color.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Other option is to call her, but white works too!

 

[chipscinderelly]

Ryan says thanks for the congrats!!

We found out the color of her dress.(black)
So ,I changed the minni roses to white and red with black ribbon ,crystals and pearls sprays. Does that sound ok? (Oh forgot to tell you this is for the arm)

excellent and yes for the arm - much better than pin on because they can itch and well some dressed dont' have much to pin on!

 

[chipscinderelly]

So what time can we say is safe for after late dinner and the show 9:30/10pm? I have no clue where to meet because last cruise I didn't visit fun social spots at all! Someone else pick a place.....don't put me in charge of everything!!

Let's meet in Diana's room

JUST KIDDING

Ok I didn't venture out much either - so someone suggest a spot even if we meet and move on. Let's say 9:30 and if the show lets out late we'll meet as soon as it's over.

So I ran around town today like a chicken with my head cut off! I had to get a cake for Julia. Rule #1--Do NOT take a 3 and 2 year old into a bakery full of cakes and cookies. Bad idea. So I spent $11 more dollars than I should have and left with a cake, box of cookies and 2 mouse pastries that were just too cute at $3 a pop. I'll have to take pictures because they are just adorable.

Then I went to the Disney Store--lots of bargains out there folks. 25% off the lowest clearance price. I was able to snag a Mickey denim jacket for me for $22. It has a painted Mickey on the back and Mickey Mouse in red rhinestones on the front. Of course the girls got shirts and socks too. Just way too cute!!

I think this is why God gave me boys. I would be in the poor house with all the cute things out there for little girls.

 

[chipscinderelly]

Pool works for me!

Diana - wow, I am glad your health department took that seriously and followed up. How scary is that manager?

Ok and welcome bag update - second shipment of 50 bags.... and they don't have zippers either - DOH! We've called the company and they are on the phone with the warehouse trying to figure out what the problem is.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Don't you know that is why Roxann got such a good deal on the party bus. It is Dan's bus.

Oh my! Now I'm not so sad about missing "all the fun."

 

[ConleyFam]

That's too cute! My girls are never dating so they won't have the opportunity to be nervous!

So for those of you following my Wendy's saga....I just received a telephone call from the lady at the Albany County Health Dept. First I'm going to say I'm super impressed that first of all she took the time out to call me, but she also went to the raw chicken Wendys and did a full inspection today and called me with the findings. First off she starts out by saying the manager is very young and is on the job not even 1 month. She commented that she was going to contact the owner because that's not an acceptable timeframe for someone to be left alone and be responsible and not checked up on. He was completely clueless about fryer temps and monitoring them and logging them. He was also completely clueless about the fact that b/c Wendy's offers 2 chicken sandwiches, they are different chickens pucks and take different times to cook, the Spicy Chicken being thicker and requiring more fry time. She went on to tell me a bunch of different things about staff knowledge (the fact they didn't know much of anything) and more food prep concerns. She said she left a huge list of things they need to change in order to meet the required health department rules and will be doing weekly follow up visits to make sure the changes are being made.

I'm really impressed with the Health Dept. I'm still never eating at Wendy's again, but I'm impressed that they took my complaint as seriously as they did, sent someone out exactly a week from my incident and is making them change the way they operate. She explained to me that she relies on people reporting things like this because then she can go into the places she knows are problems and bust them.

I'm still completely UNimpressed with Wendy's because they have not contacted me about my letter at all. I did not include my telephone number in the letter, just my address and email address yet the Health Dept person got my number and called me when her investigation was complete.

OK I'm impressed. Kudos to you for reporting them and keeping the rest of the general public a little safer.
Now we all know - DON"T MESS WITH DIANA!

Chris

Oh yea---Don't mess with me!! I did include a PS in my letter saying I go to kickboxing and I'm not afraid to demonstrate my master skills!

I'll try to be back from scrapbooking early enough to pop into chat! I'm off--keep it down to a couple of hundred posts while I'm gone!
