Mandy are you on yet? It's almost 8 am there right?
I can't sleep tonight for some reason. I think I am overtired from the trip today.

Hey Sandy

It's just gone 7.10am over here. It's been an eventful night, there was an eathquake at 1am, it woke me up and frightened the life out of me

Hey Sandy

I hope everyone is ok and no damage. I'm actually starting to get a bit tired. Hopefully I can drift off soon. Hope there are no more tremors. Keep us posted.

Great prom pics - I love the family shot - her dress was beautiful!!

The pic w/all of the kids - I am checking out the houses - they are so cute!! Was it your house behind the limo or the neighbors - (leave it to me to be nosey! LOL

Uh oh - Starving, you'd better go to bed and not think about it - then you can dream about all of the Disney delights!!!

Thanks Laurie, I took the photo from my house, looking over the road

He'd be psyched if someone would take me off his hands!!!!

This is why we like to get there at 10:00. Last time we were the first people in the terminal and in the Mickey pool

Great photo Suzanne, I love seeing the pool and deck 9 empty

OK girls I'm back. Ian did fantastic. We'll find out if he gets called back sometime tomorrow, call backs are Thursday. I'm exhausted, a trip that should have taken 2.5 hours took almost 5. I swear Mass. doesn't own snow plows. 25 miles an hour for 2 hours.

What a nightmare journey. I'm so pleased that it went well Good Luck, I hope he gets a call back

We are taking a limo as a surprise for Tori I don't think we will be there before 11. The company we use will usually only pick us up at 10 even though I ask for 9:30.

Oh wow ! how cool, you'll still be there before they let us embark

I don't drink beer either, but I love the Bacardi drinks they make especially the raz

Mmm me too

I told jeff that he is going to have to actually socialize with people on this cruise. He is very quite at first and keeps to himself.

Carm is the same way - the two of them can sit together and NOT socialize w/each other! And by the end of the 4 days, they'll be best buds!!

Paul is really quiet too, so they should all get on really well

I hope everyone is ok and no damage. I'm actually starting to get a bit tired. Hopefully I can drift off soon. Hope there are no more tremors. Keep us posted.

There was a little damage at the epicentre (about 100 miles away), like chimney pots falling off, but other than that, people were just woken by the tremor

I've just woken the girls and they both felt it, though Paul slept through the whole thing (typical )

I'm so pleased that Ian's interview went well yesterday, is that why you can't sleep, you're too excited ?

Good night Sandy, I hope you sleep well

Chat later

Just stopping by to say hi.

Good luck to Ian.

I just booked all my flights only 8 hours traveling each way - not bad. Now I just have to figure out hotels.

Welcome to the new people. A fellow Canadian - woohoo

Sandra - don't you feel so 'accomplished' when your flight is all booked??? When are you going down and going home??

o.k. laurie i have installed aim not what the heck do i do with it?

I now KNOW that you have figured it out - just need to make sure you turn it on everyday!!

Wow, I went to watch the rest of Idol on Tivo and I missed 3 pages! I can't keep up tonight!

It was a busy day but I'm hoping tomorrow will be much quieter. I'm very happy we are having rain instead of the snow everyone else is having! How was the rest of your day, I know the morning started out tough with the counselor.

Veronica - that is how I feel everyday when I get home from work!! LOL!

OMG - maybe you can't sleep because of all the laughing you've been doing!!!

OMG - that had to scare you!! Is that common in your area?

Glad to hear there isn't too much damage! And a typical man for sure - sleeping through EVERYTHING!!!!!!

So, Paul is quiet too? Carm is really quiet, and Michele says Jeff is too - so, they can all sit there quietly and stare at each other!! The ladies can be out and about having FUN!

No it's not typical at all Laurie, the last biggy was about 20 years ago according to the news.

Trust Paul to sleep through it, I bet if I was fiddling around in his wallet he'd wake up

Isn't it funny how us more lively girls have got quiet hubby's - though it could have something to do with the fact that they can't get a word in

What are your plans for today Laurie ?

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Morning laurie, sandy, mandy,
Wow that's scary mandy...glad everything is o.k. though.
I was talking to jeff about my dumping him on the cruise to hang with you guys and he said what is the difference from the last cruise i ran off then and he babysat austin because he wouldn't go to the club...lol I am terrible i didn't even realize i was gone that much. I am just a social butterfly .I loved playing bingo and chatting with the people there. Do any of you girls play bingo on the ship. I loved pikey on our last cruise.

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Well i will check in later ladies i have to get dressed to drop nicole off at school soon.

Morning Michele

Poor Jeff, fancy dumping him No, I've never played bingo onboard before, but I do love running into people and chatting over a Bahama Mama (or 3 ). Do you think Austin will be happy to go into the clubs this time ?

Did I ever tell you about Paul and the Village People ? Well one night on our Jan '07 Cruise, a group of us (who I met on the DIS) went to Wavebands for 70's night. Anyway, a CM grabbed Paul as we entered and dragged him off. I wasn't sure if he was going to turn up in the Saturday Night Fever part, but he didn't. The the DJ announced the Disney Wonder Village People, and my goodness, didn't Paul come running in - no shirt - and with a cowboy hat on, and then they all did the YMCA on the stage

I was so shocked that Paul would even dare to do something like that - it was so funny. So he may be quiet, but when he's had the odd Bahama Mama, he certainly comes out of his shell (and clothes )

Here he is (he'd kill me for showing these ) Sorry the first one is too dark (probably just as well )

Those are great pictures Mandy. They must go right for the quiet ones. Pikey picked Christopher to go onstage for pirate night on our 11 night cruise. Of course I have no pictures because the battery on the camera died right as it started. Not sure if I posted this picture of him the other day, it's from our Jan 06 cruise, he looked better for the 11 N cruise, I got him to wear eyeliner like Cpt. Jack and he didn't have that silly bandanna on from dinner:

Hi Michele, Laurie & Mandy-

2 hour delay here for school. I actually surprised they didn't cancel it as it's still snowing. Hope everyone has an awesome day. I will be in and out. Dentist appt at 11 - so not looking forward to that one.

 

[mandymouse]

Great photo Sandy

I'm surprised they didn't cancel school today, if the weather is still bad. Good Luck at the dentist - it's not my fave place at all

Have a great day Sandy

 

[Debs Disney]

Good Morning!!!!!! Can't keep up with you guys so I will just keep popping in when I can I am getting ready to take our puppy to the vet and have him neutered We have two Westies a 5 year old named Salty Dog and a 5 month old named Finnegan. Last night I let them out to do their business and when I opened the door to let them back in I saw them both tearing the feathers out of a dead bird I have no idea if the bird was dead when they found it or they killed it I was soooo grossed out. no more kisses from them Then I went to let them out one last time before bed and there was the puppy with the dead bird in his mouth waiting at the door to come in My husband Paul got rid of the remains. My sweet little white dogs Have a great day

 

[mandymouse]

Morning Debi

I don't know who I feel more sorry for, the poor bird or your poor Westie You must post a photo of your lovely dogs when you get a chance. Have a great day

 

[V4dice]

Good morning!

It's just gone 7.10am over here. It's been an eventful night, there was an eathquake at 1am, it woke me up and frightened the life out of me

Wow, that was must have been a very scary way to be woken up . Glad no one was hurt and there was no damage to your house though.

Trust Paul to sleep through it, I bet if I was fiddling around in his wallet he'd wake up

Isn't it funny how us more lively girls have got quiet hubby's - though it could have something to do with the fact that they can't get a word in

You are too funny Mandy!
My DH is the outgoing one in the relationship. I'm fairly shy (although I have gotten much better in the 19 years I have known him). He's the one that loves to chat and get to know everyone (I always joke that my son is a social butterfly just like Daddy)

I was talking to jeff about my dumping him on the cruise to hang with you guys and he said what is the difference from the last cruise i ran off then and he babysat austin because he wouldn't go to the club...lol I am terrible i didn't even realize i was gone that much. I am just a social butterfly .I loved playing bingo and chatting with the people there. Do any of you girls play bingo on the ship. I loved pikey on our last cruise.

My husband complains about me dumping him on a cruise but for different reasons. He prefers inside (air conditioned activities such as movies, hanging out in the sports bar) and I always want to be outside by the pool enjoying the sunshine. (Although I do like to go to Bingo)

2 hour delay here for school. I actually surprised they didn't cancel it as it's still snowing. Hope everyone has an awesome day. I will be in and out. Dentist appt at 11 - so not looking forward to that one.

I can't believe you only have a delay and its still snowing (maybe they'll change their mind and cancel)! Good luck at the dentist!

How about you Suzanne...any school today?

 

[V4dice]

Then I went to let them out one last time before bed and there was the puppy with the dead bird in his mouth waiting at the door to come in My husband Paul got rid of the remains. My sweet little white dogs Have a great day

Very funny...your puppy was trying to bring you a gift
Have a great day! (although I don't think your dog will)
