2008, 24th/28th Aug - *Double Dipping with the Bahama Mamas*

It's a warm 81F down at twopalms today, though cloudy with thunderstorms

http://www.twopalms.com/

Here's a good website if you want to watch the Disney Wonder coming down the estuary

http://www.cocoabeachnow.com/port-canaveral-web-cam.php

People can operate the camera, so hopefully whoever is operating it will be pointing it so we can see her leaving the terminal

She usually leaves at 5pm and gets to twopalms around 5.20/5.30pm

There must be a storm brewing as the temperature has dropped to 77F (that would do for me right now )

I'll take 77F right now! I'm going to try to watch her sail out today and wish I was there Thanks for reminding me Mandy! How was your evening?

No problem I'll try and stay up and watch her too.

I've not done anything interesting this evening. I'm tired, but I'll try and stay up

What are your plans for this evening ?

 

[V4dice]

I was just checking out the Wonder at the port on this site too (you can barely see it over the buildings unless you zoom in)

Not too much longer to stay awake Mandy...only an hour or so. As for me, after all the running around yesterday I'm just hoping for a peaceful evening at home. Tom is working late tonight but hopefully the kids will go to bed early so I can watch some TV and play on the computer

The Radisson website is another one that Paul goes on I tend to just stick to twopalms, I like looking at the beach and wishing I was there

What's on TV tonight ?

 

[sandym]

Oh goody another web cam. I love watching the ship go, in just over 4 months we will be on her ourselves.

 

[V4dice]

I'll probably watch Survivor tonight and I have a bunch of shows recorded that I have to catch up on..if I can stay awake

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Evening ladies, I feel so loved you were all missing me today.
I went to buy sandals but ended up coming home with yet another pair of boots... .

I checked the t.v. listing and survivor is on tonight(no basketball)

Mandy still waiting to see the pic of your haircut.

Laurie i heard that you and veronica were chatting on the phone today without me again.

Sandy, How did the dentist go?

Now Michele - don't be jealous - LOL I talked to you today too!

I am freezing - just got back from baseball!! UGH - they only played 3 innings, then it was dark, so we have to pick up where we left off another day - UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. It's little league, not the major leagues...

Time for Survivor - I'll check in later!
Laurie

Other than that - I hope to be back in time to catch a bit of Little House - this working business cuts in to my TV time!!!

* * *

Kathy - Are you just heading down for the cruise or are you doing anything else down in FL before or after the WONDERful 4 days on the ship??

Hi Laurie - I have a renewed love for LHOTP. I tape 4 episodes per day from the Hallmark Channel on my DVR - it reminds me of my younger days and the whole family watching the show and my parents usually crying.

We really hope to spend a day or two before and after the cruise at WDW, but have no definite plans yet.

I hate to ask a dumb question, but what is the "FE thing" I see being discussed?

More boots Michele what are you like ? It's Springtime, you need some sandals

I hope you all enjoyed Survivor last night

I hate to ask a dumb question, but what is the "FE thing" I see being discussed?

That's not a dumb question Kathy. FE is Fish Extender Exchange (you can find out more info here http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1219607). The Fish is the hook outside your stateroom where DCL leave messages for you, the extender is what hangs from the fish, and basically we leave small gifts for each other in them

If you wish to take part in the FE exchange, just reply here and I will send you a PM with the details you need to send me

Morning Girls

I've had my weigh in and I'm pleased to have lost another 1lb this week. I only have a couple more pounds to lose, but it really is getting tough now, but I am staying focussed

It won't help that Paul and me are going to Manchester tomorrow and that will involve an Italian meal and several bottles of wine

What are you all up to today ? I've got an easy day today, just grocery shopping this morning, running around after the girls and cleaning up

Hopefully I'll get to chat to you later

Have a great day everyone

Hey Kathy -

Little House is my favorite!! I usually watch it on Hallmark (if I am around) - 10 to 12, and 3 to 5 - WOO HOO!!! I like the episodes when Laura is married - the old OLD ones, I am not a huge fan of - so, the ones that are on now in the afternoon - I am not liking as much - actually it all starts getting 'good' when Mary heads to the blind school (poor Mary! LOL)

We are going to Disney's Vero Beach resort on the 19th, then heading to the ship, then to WDW for just ONE day!! Then, we recently booked Disneyland for November - the kids (and I) can't wait - we've never been there before - I know everyone says 'it's not the same' - but, I'd like to check it out anyway!!

Hope all is well!
Laurie

WTG on the weigh in Mandy - you are inspiring me! LOL I have yet to get 'back on the wagon' - UGH!!! You are doing great with the exercising!!!

Enjoy your night out - eat whatever you want - and spend a few extra minutes on the treadmill (that you love so much!! )

I have some running to do today - a trip into Philly to pick up tix for the Soul game tomorrow - we have a group of 26 going - and they screwed up the tickets when they originally sent them - I guess I am going to have to call up the owner (JBJ) and complain! He will have to compensate me - don't ya think?!

Then we are heading to look for a new TV stand for the basement... Carm is off today for this fun and excitement!!

Talent show practice this afternoon - dinner - baseball practice (as long as it doesn't rain - I am crossing my fingers for rain ) -

What is everyone else up to?

Morning Laurie

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to a night away. I'm not going to worry about what I eat this weekend - I want to enjoy myself

I agree, I think you should be compensated too. I think a kiss from JBJ should be enough

Have fun getting your TV stand and with the talent show and baseball practice - it sounds like you've got a busy day planned

Earlier I met Kerry and her friends in town, as she found a lovely dress for her holiday with her friends family (and also for the cruise too ), and now it is pizza time in the back room for them before I run them back to college this afternoon. So other than running around after my girls, I don't really have much on this afternoon

Anyway girls, have fun, whatever you're doing

 

[sarahsmom73]

Good Morning everyone!

Mandy~ I can't keep up with you! WTG on the weight loss!

Laurie ~ I can't keep up with you either! Thanks for the DCL update. I have it on dvr too, but I LOVE to watch it!

Kathy ~ I love Little House. Whenever I can convince Sarah it is a good one we watch!

Michelle, Veronica, Sandy, Suzanne and Diane ~ Happy Friday to you! I hope you guys have a great day!


I spent the day yesterday driving to Sarah's optometrist 3 hours down, then she and I had lunch at Ruby Tuesday to celebrate her being discharged from the Dr., back on the road to head home.. We decided to stop at the Lake George outlets to check out Gymboree and Osh Kosh... Holy cute clothes Batman! I bought mostly Sarah stuff, but I will have to go back and get the girls more stuff for the cruise! I didn't pay more than $7.00 for anything!

Sarah was really into accessories.. It would be scary to give her Carte Blanche!!!

We left at 7:30 and never got home until 5:30!

Today I am Hanging out with you guys! I missed you yesterday!

SO I MISSED THE DARN BOAT!!! I guess I have to catch it the next time!

Sounds like you are lined up for a great weekend! I would love to go someplace nice WITHOUT the kids! LOL Seems like they are always around - I guess as they get older - it'll be easier to do those kinds things!

A kiss would be good - Front row for the summer concert would be better! LOL

What kind of dress did she get? I wish I was young and thin! Seems like it is easier to shop - more of a selection for the young gals!!!!

I have my morning daycare center open this morning............ UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I know I told Sandy/Michele/Veronica - I have an extra body here this morning... the little brother of Ant's friend - he is here because Ant's friend has a doc appointment at 8am - and I am taking him to school for her... I SWEAR I can't say NO!

I should be around in a bit before we head out! At this point I am just looking forward to drop off time!

Good Morning Jen!!

Sounds like you were busy shopping yesterday! LOL I love the outlet stores!! Especially the ones in Orlando!! The problem w/that is - I buy too much stuff - usually I wind up having to buy another bag to take it all home in! LOL Actually I have a rolling duffle bag that folds up - I usually pack that w/me - so I have an empty to take my 'goods' home -

Wish I had a little girl to shop w/though - I was looking at all those goodies in the stores yesterday - PINK everywhere!!!

Alright, almost time to go! Countdown to departure.. 5 minutes!

Morning Jen

Thanks, the old weight loss is slowing down now, so I'm going to have to stay motivated when those scales don't show a loss

It sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday, it's great when you pick up some bargains

No doubt, I'll be watching the Wonder leave Port Canaveral on Sunday evening 10pm for me and 5pm for you. It's nice that it's the last thing I see before I go to bed

It's great that my girls have got the same best friend, so when she has a sleepover, I get rid of both of them

What front row tickets would be better than a kiss ?? Surely not

I'll try and take a photo of Kerry's dress, it's really pretty, in cream. I doubt she'll let me take a photo of her wearing it just yet, but if not I'll take a picture of it hanging up

Alright, almost time to go! Countdown to departure.. 5 minutes!
Laurie

Have a great day Laurie
