Still lurking

Reading all that is going on and wishing we were at DW. All the posts about being there in early December are driving me crazy (yes, I know not really a drive but a short chip shot

) and the shuttle shot was the icing on the cake. I was watching it on the NASA website and text messaging Julie at the same time.

Glad to hear Walker is on the mend

Wishes for continued good times during this holiday season.

Ok so I'm curious - has the 2007 Member Cruise sold out yet? I know it did not on Saturday and I went to the website briefly today to check to see if there were updaets and it's the same stuff - or atleast what I noticed.

Good Question... I am curious too...

I believe they sold out of everything but Cats 3 & 4. The wording on the website now makes it look like things are still available.

Last time I checked it had Cat 3, 4 and 12 as available. Now it looks to me like all that info it totally gone. It probably shouldn't surprise me that DVC is vague about what's available. I'm starting to think "vague" and "DVC" go hand in hand when it comes to member cruises. Yea, I guess I still am pretty disappointed in the presentation of '06 and will probably hold that grudge for a while!

Wow they didn't sell out the cruise on Saturday....interesting.

Busy week here this week. Nick got his hair cut tonight, tomorrow night the Boy Scout are working the gift wrap table at our local Borders book store so we will be there from 7pm-9pm. Thursday is Nick's winter Band Concert at the school. Friday we'll veg out and maybe prep some slice and bake cookies then this weekend is cookie baking, gift wrapping and last stop at the post office for those gifts that need to go to distant relatives!

Phew!

Boy, I'm really behind. Hanukkah starts on Friday night and I haven't really shopped for anything for anyone. I guess I'd better get my act together quickly if I want my nieces and nephew down in S.A. to have something by the end of Hanukkah (Friday 12/22). I'm thinking gift cards would make wonderful presents at this point - easy to buy, easy to wrap, easy to send.

Check out is tomorrow and that means I have to head back to reality.
I might head over to my brother's house for a day or so since I am having a hard time wanting to make that ride back to Michigan again - sure hope the weather is nice when I get there!

Chris - I'll call you when I'm in the area and drop off your package unless you don't want it when the boys are home.

Heading out to DD for one last trip thru the stores - haven't been over there much this trip. Will check in when I get home.

Gift cards are good! That's what Cameron's getting mostly this year -- along with good, old fashioned cash. I'm at a loss as to what to get him, I thought for sure the iPod was a great idea, until I casually mentioned it to Cameron and he nixed the idea. So, cash it is.

I like to give gift cards to the teachers/bus driver as well. This year, I headed up to our mall Saturday night to pick them up. Good thing the mall wasn't crowded as when I went to the customer service desk, they would have had no problem taking my money but they now tack on a $2.50 PER CARD service charge.

Since I needed several, I walked away with none. There was no way I was paying a service fee for cash. I'll stick the $25 in an envelope before I pay extra to have a little plastic card. So, I walked out of the mall and drove over to Barnes & Noble to buy them there. I figure teachers should like to read and hopefully they can find something they like. I always did the mall in the past, because it offered a vast majority of retailers, but those days are over as long as they are adding a service charge.

Cindy - ooh that stinks! Another idea for gift cards is Visa gift cards. Our office did this for us this year as our holiday gift and we simply need the 4 digit pin to activate them and poof we are off and running!

Ooh, I'm glad you mentioned this. I'm in charge of getting the class Hanukkah gifts for Ian's teachers and I was planning on Galleria Gold. I think it's just wrong for them to charge extra like that and will definitely walk away, too, if necessary. Yup, Barnes and Noble may be getting our business for the teachers too. Thanks for the heads-up.

Our mall started this a couple of years ago. On top of the service charge the back of the card says a maintenance fee started to kick in after 10 months. Not sure if they are still doing that, but I did the same thing - I walked out without purchasing the gift cards, and I won't be going back to see if that's still their policy.

We've had rain all day, but the temps have been rather nice for December.

Have a safe trip home! Enjoy your last evening down there.
