[mandymouse]

Mandy,

Just called the local PacSun and they had the dress in stock (pink/small) and they are holding it for me to pick it up tomorrow . Hopefully the person on the phone had the right one but the description was correct. I will let you know tomorrow.

Oh thank you Veronica, I look forward to hearing how you get on tomorrow

Deb- It sounds like a birthday celebration is in order on the ship, I think I heard talk of Bahama Mammas and Bingo, sounds like some birthday cake also.
Tell Shaelyn congratulations on her BHS, that is a big accomplishment. My daughter's latest trick on floor is a Round off, back hand spring, back layout with a 1/2 twist. Of course that is on a spring floor.

Wow!!!

We received great news from Hopkins after the CT scan yesterday---Keegan's mass has drastically shrunk from an air/fluid filled mass the size of a large apple to an air filled mass the size of a quarter. They are not going to do surgery for now and put him on continued antibiotics (he'll be on them a whole month). The infection is gone and they think the mass will totally shrink up to scar tissue. They still don't know how long he had it or how it got there. He has blood work in 2 weeks to make sure he does not get a new mass/reinfected and another CT scan in 6-8 weeks to make sure it's gone. We really feel like we won the lottery. It's so nice to have such relief and look beyond today. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers!!

That is wonderful news!!!!! What a relief!!!! We will keep on praying Debi

Good job Sandy! I'll call tomorrow and have them take the hold off the dress in the store by me. PacSun is going to wonder why this dress is in such demand!

Morning Girls

I am looking forward to my mum/daughter day today, where Becky and me are taking the train to Birmingham and going to do some Birthday shopping for her 15th next Wednesday

Have a great day girls

Morning everyone!

Mandy - have a wonderful day today with Becky! Happy shopping

Not much going on here today. My plans are to do some more cleaning, maybe go exercise, then we have "Science night" at Bryan's school this evening. Tomorrow there is no school because of a conference day so we are going to surprise Bryan by taking him to the circus

Have a great day everybody!

Can i come too? I love the circus...I am such a big kid.

Mandy have fun shopping with becky.

Laurie i told u to stop eating them..you should have listened to your twin.

We love the circus too! My parents are taking the boys to see the Harlem Globetrotters tomorrow night. Derek and I have our first evening alone in a very long time. He wants to see a movie and I have no idea what's even playing. Anyone have any good suggestions?


The boys both have baseball practice on Saturday and we are going to take them to the Baltimore Inner Harbor that afternoon. We are probably going to take them to the Aquarium there.

We had the parent's meeting for Brennan's baseball division last night and Keegan had baseball practice. His doctor said he can ease back into everything with pain as his guide. He can't run or play catcher (the position he's played for 5 years) but can just catch/throw. After about 5 minutes he said it was hurting too bad in his chest/shoulder so we watched the rest of the practice. The mass is on a nerve running through his chest and shoulder and it was really bothering him, especially if he bent over. He said he felt fine this morning. He's supposed to have batting practice tonight, but I think we'll let him rest up another couple of weeks and ease back into everything slowly. We tried to tell him he should take the season off and rest up but he's desperate to play. His traveling all -star team has made the state championships the last 2 years and he wants to play on it again. This year they are starting the all stars at the end of this month and practice through the regular season until they start their tournaments in June. The same basic kids have been on it for 5 years so I guess they know who will make it.

Sunday we have Brennan's wrestling banquet. There will be 90 wrestlers plus all of their families at a banquet hall. They bring in guest speakers and if you've ever tried to have 90 kids ages 4-12 and their siblings quiet for an hour and a half through monotone adult speeches, you can imagine how that goes. The kids just want their season trophies and to eat.

The weather just said it's going to be a hight of 58 today and 63 tomorrow! It's been breezy so it's felt much colder. I just can't wait for spring/summer weather.

My parents are taking Keegan and his friend down to their house in Clearwater on the 27th for 3 1/2 days of beach fun and going out on a fishing boat. Keegan really needs the relaxation. I hope his school doesn't have any issues with him being gone. He usually misses maybe 5-6 days a year and this year between our cruise (6 days missed) and illness (about 6 days with at least 2 more) plus vacation with my parents (1.5 days) and us going to WDW next month (1.5 days) he'll be missing a ton. He was supposed to have off next month and now they are making up that day as a snow day, so at least I tried to have him not miss school.

That sounds really cool Sandy, a must for any Dr. Who fan

I'm not keen on the circus myself, I know I'm not scared of them, but I really don't like clowns

Wow, the Harlem Globetrotters, they've been going for years (LOL, I know that it won't be the same guys from the 70's), but I bet it'll be a really entertaining show

I can't recommend any movies at the moment, as the US usually gets them before us. The next one I want to see is Vantage Point, it looks good. I hope you enjoy your quiet evening to yourselves

Anyway Girls, I've not long got back from my shopping day with Becky, and we had a great time. She did really well. She got a 'Criminal Damage' jacket and Belly bar from a shop that is similar to Hot Topic. She also got the Ratatouille DVD, a big Remy soft toy and some Britney Spears perfume.

We had a huge breakfast when we arrived then spent over 4 hours looking around the shops

Becky even persuaded me to try on a dress that I wasn't too sure about, and it looked great, so I bought it - yay ! my first Cruise purchase, here it is ..

Anyway, I'm worn out, I'm going to have a cup of tea and put my feet up for 10 minutes

I hope you're all having a great day too

Glad you had a nice day out mandy. I like the dress but i have many pounds to go before that would look cute on me..lol.

So u r scared of clowns...hehehe..j'k i don't really love them myself i just like everything else about the circus.

 

[sandym]

Mandy I don't like clowns either. The pool at the boardwalk creeps me out. That clown is SCARY!

Michele I'm with you, no way you'd get me into a cute dress like that and still want to eat a meal around me

For once, I actually used a bit of common sense girls. So instead of buying a dress that I could diet into (which never works for me), I bought one that fits good now - so when I have lost 7lbs wizard: ), had 8 nights of free dining then ate the Disney Wonder out - I should still fit into it
