Hey Mandy - Here I am!!

I was BUSY yesterday - Dropped Ant at camp, went foodshopping, came home to unload, went to Target, BJs, then picked Ant and Brendan up from camp, took them to lunch, let them swim, then they had a party to go to at 4, UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH Always running on my day off - at least I am working today, so I should be around!

Glad Kerry will be home today! I can't wait for the update and some pics!!

Enjoy your Wednesday - look at you toiletry shopping - I haven't gotten that far yet!!

Good Morning Laurie, you're up early

Wow, you were busy yesterday, it seems like your days off are busier than your work days

I had a nice morning in town. I bought some white shorts (very Summery) and some cute costume jewellery too. All my toiletries have been bought too, I just need to be let loose on my suitcases now

Have a great day at work

Good Morning everyone!!!

It is finally supposed to be 85 and sunny the whole day today with no chance of storms Angelina has a game tonight and Haley has practice but at lest we have the day to hang out!!!. I will keep plugging away at the laundry (yuck)in between relaxing in the sun!!

Mandy- you must be counting down the hours now to see Kerry and hear all about her trip. I can't believe you have bought toiletries for this trip already you are ultra organized WOW

Michele- I am sure you would just love to take the kids shopping again today right?? Thanks you so much for getting me hooked on Hell's kitchen I just love that show. I think he will pick Petrozza.

Laurie-I can so relate to your running around, I hit Target and BJ's yesterday too. And Walmart for Angelina's contacts I am running NO errands today just chauffering to game and practice.

Jen-It was great talking to you last night and I hope Em continues to feel better so you don't have to visit your best friend the pediatrician

Sandy- yay one more day till you can eat some real food!! I had some strawberries last night and thought of you. They were on top of vanilla ice cream though so I am thinking I have blown the fruit diet

Veronica-Hi how's it going???

Betty-Has Taylor made any new friends at camp this week?

Hi to everyone else, I hope you are all getting as excited for this trip as we are!!!It doesn't seem possible that Mandy started this thread sooooo long ago

Hey Suzanne, I hope you are able to enjoy the sunshine today

I'm hoping that Kerry will be home in about 3 hours, I can't wait to see her I'm really looking forward to start packing, but I can't start too early as the cases will be in my way

Where has the time gone ? It must be about a year and a half since I started our Double Dipping Cruise, and now it's only a matter of weeks till we go - I'm so excited - I can't wait to meet everyone

Have a great day

Good Morning everyone.

We are doing a bunch of household chores and errand running today. Derek has the day off so we can go the Orioles game later this evening (he's on evening shift).

I finally got him to power wash the deck! Usually I'm the one that does stuff like that but I guess I nagged him enough he decided to do it. We haven't done it in a few years and it really needed to be sealed again. I wish we could just do trex decking or something similar, but that would mean giving up a cruise one year and that's not going to happen!

I've vacuumed and cleaned all the floors, done some laundry and cleaned the bathrooms in addition to doing some human resources work.

I was looking at our August itinerary trying to figure out our meals after the cruise for lunches and decided to call Universal to see if we could get a lunch ressie at a restaurant we've always enjoyed. I guess it was a customer service number I got off their website because I could hear a guy yelling that they charged him $8 instead of $5 for preferred parking and he'd paid enough for his ticket and wanted his $3 back. I waited a few minutes on hold (but could hear everything) and when I finally had someone get back on, they told me they were not like Disney and to call back in August or just try on 8/29 to make them. I did manage to get Kona that night instead of Boma at 8:15 PM. We may do that or just do a CS dinner at the Pop Century. I got a breakfast ADR on 8/31 at Crystal Palace just in case we don't go to Kona and need to use a TS. We have dinner on 8/31 at Crystal Palace too. I've made about 4 ADRs for Crystal Palace breakfast before MK opens and we've never made it to one of them because they were always too tired to get up earlier than usual. We've done Ohana, Donald's breakfastsaurus, Princess Storybook and Safari breakfast later in the mornings and enjoyed them all.

I hope you are all enjoying your day!

Just had to share...Derek's going to town with the power washer. He's finished the deck, done the shed, the ramp to the shed (for the lawn tractor), the kid's sandboxes and now their slide!

Have a great day cleaning and running your errands Danielle. I think I'd faint if Paul did as much work as your Derek has done today
