Heather, remember this is a family site
Maybe you could pm some of the good ones to those of us who have been married 21 years and the pixie dust is scattered pretty thin by now


I am packing to take my daughter Sami and her friends to a local hotel for a swim party and sleep over The weather is looking iffy with lots of thunderstorms. Luckily I bought lots of craft stuff!!

When this is all over I need to finish my FE, finish my FE shopping and wrapping, start my door decorations and play catch up at work. Since I am self employed I will have to take my computer with me, but I think I will leave it off the 3 days of the cruise.

Deb and Mary Ellen - can you give me any additional help with your husbands...candy, alcohol, books???? I always find it hard to do stocking stuffers for my husband and it is harder not knowing the person.

Sarah -hang in there, as long as she is making progress, that is the important part

Who is driving to FL besides us? We leave on Wed night the 20th and are taking the long way from eastern Pa through central NC to rock hunt on Friday and we will arrive in Coco Beach Saturday hopefully by noon so I can catch some waves there!!

Is the meet on for Sunday...what time did we decide? which pool?

Diane

Hi everyone.

I'm starting to get worried about our documents since everyone else seems to have received theirs and of course we have not yet. But when you live in the middle of nowhere what do you expect!

I have the next week off work so myself and DD plus a friend and her two kids are going camping for a couple of days. It's not really my idea of a good time but when it is finally sunny here you gotta get out while you can. By the way for July we had 29 days of rain!! We don't usually get that until November.

We leave for WDW Aug 15 so I better start sorting our clothes and packing soon!!

take care

Sandra-

Don't worry yet, I don't have mine either. I know they have arrived in our office though but I won't get them until later in the week. You can check in online and you don't really need your documents anyway. Just print, sign and show up w/ your ID.

Have a great night!

 

[sarahsmom73]

514 hours til' sailaway!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Morning everyone!

My theme song should be "On the road again... I just can;t wait to be on the road again"..

We are almost all packed.. Mark is going to clean out my car... Then we head north to Canada. We'll have the lap top so I will be checking in!

BTW - we don't have our docs yet either!


Talk soon

 

[LaurieWDW05]

Deleted this one - for some reason, my post went up twice - sometimes I can't even get it to post ONCE! ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[LaurieWDW05]

OK - here comes my "catch-up"!

Glad you enjoyed the baptism Laurie. Oh lucky you, you know how much I love Italian food (well most food actually ). I look forward to seeing your pics

All of the kids w/Baby Gabriel.

Dominic and Anthony w/the baby - Anthony is NOW bugging ME to have one!!

The baptism party was very small - only 20 of us, "immediate family" - but, Gabe (as I have probably mentioned - my FAVORITE cousin) - anyway, he is actually my 2nd cousin, but we are only 2 years apart and very close - so, we are considered immediate!!! But it was fun!! And again - food - DELISH!! I guess the diet will start again tomorrow?

Glad you got it I actually had to empty my pm box as it was 90% full!! What are you doing with the dogs when you are away????

Hey Suz - My mom stays here w/the dreaded animals! She leaves for work EARLY - so, my friend Rita comes over during the day to let them out a bit, so they aren't here alone ALL day!

It was great getting to meet Michele. Bryan had a great time too (he had lots of attention). The kids look a little happier in my picture....

and here is one of Michele and I

My MIL ended up coming with me at the last minute too so she got to meet everyone too before the trip. I have to run check on Emily (she is too quiet) but I will hopefully be around tonight (Tom is off at a birthday party for one of his clients). Hope to chat with everyone soon!

Laurie - How did Bella turn on the gas????

Michele & Veronica - GREAT pics!! So glad you guys got to meet!!! The kids look 'thrilled'!!! Soon we'll all be on the boat together - I can't wait!!!

Oh, and Miss Bella, she hopped up to the stove and must have nudged the knob w/her nose or whatever - who knows - NOW I have NO knobs on my stove! LOL I am going to kill that dog!!!

3 weeks till Sailaway!!! ​

Jen has the hourly countdown going - it's Mandy's job to do the weekly - so, I'll take it this week!

Brennan got stung by 3 wasps earlier and when it happened he kept telling me a bat stung him. Gave me a heart attack thinking he was going to have rabies until I looked and saw the wasp nest and figured it out.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. We are going to put up our Mickey countdown on the boy's playroom calendar. It's so great to say we are sailing "This" month!

OMG - poor Brennan - A bat? I know some wasps are big - but, a bat? LOL Glad he is ok! I gotta tell you - the mosquitos around here - UGHHHHH I got eaten alive, bumps all over my legs and arms.. I hate thos things!!

Hey guys

Quick check in. We are home.. Barely but home.. I'll be on later!

Welcome back Jen!! I missed your hourly countdowns!!! LOL

Hello Everyone,

I got my cruise docs too!

I'm finally feeling better after fighting a cold that traveled from my head to my chest. So on with the cruise preparation! I plan to do some sewing this weekend and next week to make a few things for Taylor and myself. I made a deal with Taylor that we can pack after camp is done. She has one more week to go.

I hope everyone is well. I try catching up this weekend.

Betty

Betty - WOO HOO on the documents! My envelope was TOSSED on my porch, just laying there.... gotta love FedEx!

Have fun prepping to pack!! LOL I am DONE! All of my stuff is in suitcases now, except for the toiletries, FE stuff, and PJs, stuff like that - oh, and of course the stuff that needs ironing... still need to do that and get it ready for the garment bag, but don't want to do that too soon!

I can't believe Taylor only has one more week left of camp - this summer totally flew by!!!

'Fiesta Friday', I like the sound of that I hope you had a nice time with the 'gang' and the sangria

*********​

Good Morning Bahama Mama's
Woohoo !! It's the weekend:

What are your plans ?

Paul & I are having a night away in Birmingham again. Paul needs to get a few things for the holiday, so hopefully we'll finish off our shopping, go out for a nice meal, have a few drinky-poos and stay at a hotel - so I won't be around much today

Yes Mandy - this Fiesta Friday thing works for me!! I think we are planning another next week! LOL We had a good time - kids were in the pool till midnight!!!! So, they had a good time - and the sangria was DELICIOUS!!!

Enjoy your weekend away (by the time I am replying here- you are probably home! LOL) Hopefully you'll finish off your shopping!! And have a drink for me too!! I have become a regular lush these days myself - but, I am keeping clear of the bushes!! LOL LOL (Sorry Suz - it's been a while since that was brought up! LOL)

Hey guys

I was so tired last night. That drive (6 hours) was really long..And tiring.. And we get to repack and do it all again tomorrow! WHOO HOO...

I am doing OK... A little emotional at the thought of some of the possible diagnosis but OK.. It is what it is right? Now we wait 4 - 8 weeks to see. At least her blood draw was the best ever! We were in and out in 5 minutes.. That has NEVER happened!

I am looking forward to meeting Simona and Teya and her Mom!

Jen - you poor thing - I know this week has been rough - I am hoping you get some answers soon! I can't believe you have to wait so long!! I am guessing you'll be heading back to Boston??

At least you'll be meeting everyone in Canada over the next few days - that'll be nice!!! I can't wait to hear how it goes!!

You know we are here for you!! And be sure to call me this week to chat if you need to! I am around!!!!

Hi Bahama Mamas-

Just a quick check in to say HI - no time to catch up today as I'm prepping for the big work day tomorrow. Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Look at you money maker!!! Think of how RICH you are going to be! LOL You'll be buying us rounds of bahama mamas the whole cruise!

Laurie, Why wasn't i invited to friday fiesta? I could make jeff do another 3 hour trip..

Oh yea - come on down - next Friday! LOL We party till all hours here!! I am sure Jeff won't mind driving all the way down here for some sangria and pretzels! LOL

Morning everyone!

My theme song should be "On the road again... I just can;t wait to be on the road again"..

We are almost all packed.. Mark is going to clean out my car... Then we head north to Canada. We'll have the lap top so I will be checking in!

How long will it take you to get there??? I will be thinking about you!!

I can't believe it's only 514 hours till we are 'outta here' - by tomorrow we'll be under 500 hours - this is getting SO close!

I have to do laundry, repack, go check the mail.. clean out my car, gas up..

I hope to be on later to chat...

Aww Jen, it sounds like you're on an emotional rollercoaster. It's a shame you have to wait so long for the results, but lets hope they find something from them

Hi Bahama Mamas-

Just a quick check in to say HI - no time to catch up today as I'm prepping for the big work day tomorrow. Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Hi Sandy, it sounds like you're going to be busy. I hope you'll be around for sailaway later

I am packing to take my daughter Sami and her friends to a local hotel for a swim party and sleep over The weather is looking iffy with lots of thunderstorms. Luckily I bought lots of craft stuff!!

When this is all over I need to finish my FE, finish my FE shopping and wrapping, start my door decorations and play catch up at work. Since I am self employed I will have to take my computer with me, but I think I will leave it off the 3 days of the cruise.

It sounds like Sami is going to have a great birthday Diane. Have fun and I hope the weather stays nice for you

Hey Michele, it's great that we're able to get away for an evening every now and then. Thankfully we can trust the girls to stay at home with their friend and not destroy the house

It sounds like you had fun the other night at work. Was last night eventful ?

I hope you'll be around for sailaway too

oh so here are some of the "innocent ones"

Great photos Heather, it looks like you all had a good time

Hi Laurie, lovely pics from the baptism, the baby looks so cute

Thanks for doing the weekly update, I can't believe it's only 3 weeks away, and two weeks today, we'll be having our first full day in WDW and be going to O'Hanas for breakfast

I wish I lived near you, I'd be at your Fiesta Friday's every week

What are your plans for today, I hope I'll catch up with you later

********​

Good Afternoon Bahama Mamas

Paul & I had a great day yesterday. We didn't get any shopping, but we went out to a Thai restaurant last night and the food was delish We had platter to share for our starter and we had sweet & sour chicken and a green thai curry for our main dish and a bottle of wine. It was the first time that we'd been there and we'll definitely go back again

Today I'm knackered (you know that I can never sleep properly in a hotel for the first night), so I'm just going to chill here

Have a great day everyone and hopefully I'll still be awake for sailaway later

Hey Mandy - the baby is adorable - I'm telling you - I got that baby itch for just a minute... LOL - it goes away pretty fast!

WOO - 2 weeks to O'hana breakfast for you!!! What time is your reservation? The weeks are FLYING by now!! I can't believe it!!

Fiesta Fridays - c'mon down!! Or up!! What direction am I from you!! It's fun - we may have a Sunday Splash this afternoon - first we are taking a ride to the inlaws to drop off a storm door that Carm picked up for them, then some friends might come by later - not sure yet though! I could use a 'break' from all of the entertaining and get some work done! LOL

Sounds like your night out was fun! You guys always have a good little getaway!! Except for the knackered part!

We'll see if I am around for sailaway - there aren't too many left for us, huh?

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to the inlaws I go! Be back in a bit!
Laurie

 

[Debs Disney]

Deb and Mary Ellen - can you give me any additional help with your husbands...candy, alcohol, books???? I always find it hard to do stocking stuffers for my husband and it is harder not knowing the person.

Diane

Diane, no worries, candy, alcohol, books.... anything is fine

 

[mandymouse]

I've just posted this on the UK Community, I been dying to tell you all for ages now, so thank goodness the secret is out now

My eldest DD Kerry will be 18 at the end of January, and a few months ago she asked us, not to buy her any Christmas presents, not to give her an 18th birthday party and not to buy her any birthday presents ~ but would we take her best friend Bex to WDW for New Year

So after talking to her best friend's parents we secretly started checking out prices and at the end of April we booked a two week stay from Boxing Day staying at the Pop Century with two rooms

The last few weeks she has been driving us mad asking whether we're thinking of going back for New Year, so finally tonight we told Kerry, Becky and Bex about the trip

So now they're mega-excited and are trawling through photos and videos

I'm so pleased that we can actually talk about it now, I've been dying to tell people for months now (I only told my mum and Nat)

So Jules, do you fancy a drinky-poo or 3 at the Rose & Crown on New Years Eve (and anyone else )

Once again I'm going to be lucky enough to spend my birthday out there, so I've booked brekkie with Lilo & Stitch for me, and I've also made ADR's at the Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's

As you can imagine, I've got 3 very happy young ladies here now

 

[BDDisney]

Mandy,

That's great news!! Kerry and the girls must be beside themselves with excitement, ringing in the new year at WDW!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Mandy!

That is so Fab!!!! Can you adopt me?



Well we are here in toronto.. Our suite is huge. Very new, clean has full size appliances... It is nice to have the extra space..

Em's 1st session with Simona is tomorrow at 9:15.. She will be evaluated... Then we go back to for 5... Em and I will be pros at the Toronto Metro!

It is also Sarah's 7th birthday. She and Mark are going to the zoo...

Ok.. I am pooped.. catch ya tomorrow!

 

[phoenixphantom]

I've just posted this on the UK Community, I been dying to tell you all for ages now, so thank goodness the secret is out now

Mandy, The girls must be so excites. Nicole took a friend several years ago but it was not one of her best buds so she would still like to take a special friend, but now Becca says it's her turn! I leave it up to the grandparents, since it is mostly their dime. I would love too, but we are there from Dec 20th Nicole's 17th birthday till the 26th ( is that boxing day???)

Jen. good luck in Toronto and
Happy Birthday Sarah

Sami had a great time at her party, I started out stressed out getting everything together and then when we got to the hotel we found that there were 2 huge family reunions going on and the pool was stuffed with big pushy people who mowed over my kids and many of my guests weren't there yet, I was in a panic, but luckily the pool cleared out, my guests arrived and we had a great night and Sunday. All the kids were asleep by 1 am I only got about 3 hours of sleep, so I am dying and I have a busy work week ahead ( whine, whine) I'm so glad it went well!!

Diane

 

[suzannef]

Hi Bahama Mamas!

It was great getting to meet Michele. Bryan had a great time too (he had lots of attention). The kids look a little happier in my picture....

and here is one of Michele and I

Mandy - Hope you enjoyed the wine bar!

Happy Friday!

Awesome pictures!!!

 

[suzannef]

Just wanted to say hi real quick.

The boys each have friends over and are bouncing from one room to another and outside and inside. Brennan got stung by 3 wasps earlier and when it happened he kept telling me a bat stung him. Gave me a heart attack thinking he was going to have rabies until I looked and saw the wasp nest and figured it out.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. We are going to put up our Mickey countdown on the boy's playroom calendar. It's so great to say we are sailing "This" month!

OMG he thought it was a bat, he must have been terrified. Poor thing is he ok now??

Hey guys

Quick check in. We are home.. Barely but home.. I'll be on later!

welcome home , I know you are already gone again though in Toronto. I can't wait to hear how it works out for you!!

Just a quick hello to say............

MY CRUISE DOCS ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!! ​

Just found them tossed on the porch - nice, huh??

Hope you all had a great day! I have the 'gang' coming at 7 so I can't catch up right now - it's Fiesta Friday here - Sangria for everyone!! (I am practicing for drinking on the boat! LOL)

Laurie

oooh Sangria and cruise docs woo hoo

Hello Everyone,

I got my cruise docs too!

I'm finally feeling better after fighting a cold that traveled from my head to my chest. So on with the cruise preparation! I plan to do some sewing this weekend and next week to make a few things for Taylor and myself. I made a deal with Taylor that we can pack after camp is done. She has one more week to go.

I hope everyone is well. I try catching up this weekend.

Betty

Sorry you were sick I am sure getting your cruise docs cheered you up! No docs for me yet
