4/29/06 Eastern Magic...We're Going!!!!!

[castlegazer]

Oops, sorry. I thought you had brought it down to just your family. OK - so, yeah, you all are right, I tried the mock-up on around Quinn's wrist and the small is right for him too. Man, they have small wrists - never really sized it out before.

OK - so my panic about the smalls is over. I will wait one more day to order (it's like theme song running in my head). So if work is slow, I will order tomorrow.

Suzie - my thoughts are with you. You are going through so much ups and downs with her - or should I say downs and in the middle of the roads with her. It doesn't seem there has been an up lately.

mketting, you knew this faxing thing long before I ever clued into to it. Wonder if the Bella&Rella family has faxed for their huge group too????

OK - so we are up to 6 (8 with Suzie and Ed) for the brunch idea - and ohsodisney, they said I could not pick a date for the meal, just request the room and see what I get. But mketting did request a date so maybe you can, but I think I like our chances, if we get enough people, by just requesting the room, and not specifying a date. It is first come first served for faxes too - so I clued into this waaaay late. I am sorry, I am a newbie remember, just trying to keep up with what the other meets are doing on their cruises.

The good news is that of we are not able to do this, everyone seems to get what they want at Palo upon boarding with very little problems.

OK - TTFN - gotta go watch my one night of TV this week.

Mom2!

CG - I think I mentioned I was requesting the room around the 90 day mark. Sorry if I didn't make the info clearer. Requesting the room any day is a good idea. The woman I talked to said if the date I picked didn't work out they would try some others, so if you leave it wide open I think your will likely have a good chance to get the room at some time.

Wow, a lot of different threads going on!

First of all, AAAARRRRRR!!!! [This Testosterone Moment was brought to you by The Pirate]. Ok, Honey, now that's done. Go back to your scotch and cigar.

Suzie, I'll be thinking about your grandmother. Hang in there.

CG - whatever wristbands we end up with are fine. If it doesn't fit around the Pirate's wrist, I'll make it into a lovely macrame choker.

Brunch at Palo - we're ready for good food and a mimosa anytime. We already have ressies; do we have to give them up?

Pat - buy the red one.

Mkett - love the posters. Keep 'em coming.

OSoDis - you burned your bum? Stop doing that! Someday, when you are old and wrinkled like me, you will have to bare your bum to a dermatologist young enough to be your son. Then you'll be sorry! (Personally, I never sunbathe in anything less than a muumuu. Or moomoo if you are from Iowa )

And whoever it was that was asking about dressing for pirate party; We will be at Palo for dinner that night. The Pirate will be in a suit, but will be wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates tie to keep in the spirit of the occasion. I probably won't be in WenchWear that night, tho....well, maybe just the leather bustier....(it lifts and separates!)

68 days. Wow, seems like it was just 70, my how time flies.

Good evening! I've been away this weekend (again)--all-day crop Saturday, then out of town to visit family for Sunday/Monday.

CG, thank you so much for that summary page of all our pics--I love it and it will be my guide in the cruise terminal for sure! Also, our bracelet order is just right...and we would LOVE to join in on the Palo. We have a ressie for late dinner, but no brunch. However, I'm w/Suz--we want to be sure everyone gets a chance to eat there, so if this is someone's only chance, we can bow out.

Michelle--Our pastor puts those 'inspirations' up on the screen at church sometimes for a good laugh--they're great!

Suzie--What a time for you & your family! I'll be praying for your Gma especially tonight! I truly hope she's okay

OHso--Regarding swimsuits, I've been looking also. Just wondering how come MANY women use (or should use) underwire bras and yet so FEW swimsuits are made that way? Is it because they think the water will hold you up?? (TMI, sorry!) I was going to order from Lands End just last week, but thought I'd ck the mall 1st, thanks Mom2, I'll try SEARS first!

Pat--it's so exhausting to go car shopping. You have to wear a sign that says "I've been to 5 dealerships already, so don't mess with me!" A cple years ago, when we finally found a salesman who got the hint, he just left us alone until we had a question and then answered it with NO pushiness, so we bought from him. Wish they'd all figure that out. Regardless, I hope you get the Honda...how fun to have a new car. I'm always so careful with it, keeping it clean and driving so careful for the first 6 months or so, then it just becomes 'part of the family'.

OHJulie--glad to hear that Kyle won't wear a costume either. Mike says the ones online are all 'lame'. Going to try to find just the pirate/peasant shirt with accessories, no flamboyant hat or striped pants for him & his buddy, nosiree.

This cruise is coming up SO FAST! The countdown is great BelleandRellasMom! Calculating if I can lose X number of pounds per week with about 9 wks left....

I got my new rolling suitcase from Disney friday--It doesn't fold up all nifty like yours, CG, but it's nicer than the teal floral 3 pc set that we got from in-laws as a wedding gift. (slightly outdated!!) Time to start packing, shopping and I guess I better start tanning too. Never fake-tanned before, so I'm glad to know that 15 min is too long for your first session--sorry the knowledge comes at your expense, OHSO!

Whew! Thank goodness for a holiday weekend...I was afraid of how long it would take me to catch up, but it seems everyone else was away/quiet too. So there's my babbling for the night.

[ohsodisney]

Well , it's 5:00am here , my daughter who never has accidents did and she was sooooooooo upset so we have been up for almost an hour now , I feel so bad for her .

CG , I'm stealing your name highlighting idea , it is so much easier to read that way when you are repleying to someone.

Rubysmom , not a problem , I can be your test drive dummy , 15 minutes is way too much , try 5 or 10 for maybe 3-4 sessions until you have a base. I use tanning lotion on occassion but when we go away I have to go to the beds because it typically if you are careful it helps prevent from burning on vacation, lotions don't.

The Roses , Mr Rose is really getting into the pirate thing , YIPPY , give him a big AAARRRRRR for me

Mom2coby , isn't great when you have an excuse for shopping? Usaully it is the only time I get new clothes for myself . I have a Banana Republic addiction, I use to merchandise for Gap and we got a 40% discount so I Ioaded up .

Well, I should head back to bed before my girls wake up and realize I'm gone . I only let them sleep with me when DH is away, I feel much safer to have them close in case anything ever happened . Their bedroom is way on the other side of the house and the thought of a fire or anything scares me to death. I know it may be crazy but they are my one and only babies .

Good nite everyone

CG- I do a lot of bracelets for kids and Katie's size is still 5 inches, Hannah is somewhere in the 6 inch range, so I think to be safe I am going to get 2 for each of them. The average bracelet size for an adult female is 7.5 so I think Patty and I will take meds.

So:

2 Large- Pat and Mike
4 meduim-Patty, Jennifer, Hannah and Skyler
4 small-Katie, Rylee, Hannah and Skyler

I think that should do it. That way-we will be covered if we lose one or the meds turn out too big. Thanks a bunch.

Congrats to all you big losers out there. I hurt myself doing lat pulldowns a few weeks back and totally fell off the wagon in all respects. So I am trying a new tactic. Mike and Patty are coming for a visit next month-March 24th. I am going to try a midrange goal of say 4 lbs by then instead of focusing on the larger more intimidating goal. Needless to say-bathinsuit shopping will have to wait until our Easter vaca to Fl. BUT I made a delicious soup for dinner last night. I scanned the recipe and aside from the 8 oz of Italian sausage it looked pretty healthy. I didn't read that you are to stir in 4 tblsp of butter at the end......duh. I am paying for it today that is for sure.

I am dying to find out PartyPat's choice of car!! I was in the Auto industry for 11 years and I still have a soft spot for new cars....even though it will be awhile before I get a new one, unless Pat's Piece of S*** saab dies soon. We have 2 payments left and I am just praying it lasts another year or 2.

Ohsodisney-That is so upsetting to a little kid. Katie has been potty trained since she was 2 but she falls alseep before we can get her to go to the bathroom some nights. Sat. night we had a sitter, and we forgot to wake her up to go to the bathroom. Needless to say-we were at my parents house and she peed all over herself and PAT-OH was he mad It only seems to happen in the beds that DON'T have the rubber sheets.

Have a great day.

MKETTING I was having problems with my icons also, then my husband removed the pop-up blocker for this site and they all work!!

Castlegazer can I get in on the bracelets? I would need 2lg and 2 small! I understand if its too late.

My first attempt at posting a picture. I knew that you all would bear with me.

Thanks

Jonna

 

[castlegazer]

quick post prior to a meeting

mketting, I wasn't mad that I missed you saying this - I just missed it. I didn't know anything about requesting the room, so when you said it, I most likely didn't even know what you were talking about. It just an afterthought anyways, if we all want to do it together, it should be no problem going up and asking at Rocking Bar D.

Ummmm, lost the rest of my train of thought. I will be back............

oh, inthemood, nope, not too late. I will need to do a reconfiguration today and figure this out again, but you will be all set. I will post the ordering info again this afternoon as one last check, and then it will be no big deal if some stuff is wrong because we should have extras of every size in the order.

 

[BLBCB]

Castlegazer, I like PhillyJen's idea of ordering extra in case of size issues or if the kids lose them. Could you up my order to 4 large, 4 medium? You better order them before more of us change our minds. You won't have to budget for "beverages" on the cruise, because we will all be owing you a drink for all this organizing of the bracelets!

 

[BLBCB]

I've tried going back and finding the original posting, but the thread is too big! Does anybody remember the estimate cost of the bands?

 

[mketting]

Barb- I think they were just $1 or $2 each.

I'm back home in NY. We have a few inches of snow. Since I have the week off my plan is to do some serious house cleaning. Right now I'm still sitting in my robe though.

 

[castlegazer]

The costs is about $2.25/per band with the glow-in-the-dark stuff. $1.95 base and then an additional $0.25 for the color insert into the lettering and then I added an additional couple of cents for shipping costs as it was only $8 for the total order for shipping. This does not include shipping it to you guys individually.

OK - gotta go back and get all this organzied again. Really, guys, it's no problem. But if you want to buy me a pina colada, please feel free to - but no need to for organizing this.

Hi everyone
I posted this one another board , maybe you can help , since I have not received a reply yet .
I called yesterday to change 1 of my resses to a table for 7 , when I did this the lady asked if we have all of our dining plans . I told her yes , we have Whispering Canyon , Bomas , Hoop Dee Do Review and breakfast with Donald at AK . She said "Oh, Whispering Canyon? "I asked why she said it that way ? She went on to tell me , bring a camera , don't be late and prepare to ride a stick horse around the resturant and do the Hokie Pokie . My question to everyone is , Do I need to be loaded to go eat here ? HEHE

Phillyjen , It is so sad , Holly is still in pull-ups at night , she sleeps so soundly . She did pee only twice during the day , once on our RCCL cruise at the Adventure ocean kids club , and one on my neighbors couch , so your right it is always at the wrong time. LOL

Bellaandrellasmom , I love your countdown , thats wonderful , that means we only have 63 days


Today is DH Birthday , he is 39 , 1 more year till 40 ! I'm not to far behind him , boy how time flys .

Inthemood , Great picture , where was it taken ?

I have decided to go ahead and get that swimsuit since I did not like any others yesterday . I may still order from Lands End or go right to Sears . I love the tankini styles or skirted styles , Overstock.com has 1 bikini style I like but I really think I cannot wear them anymore , it does have the tie neck hater top which I need so who knows maybe if i drop 10 pounds !

CG , just let me know if you want me to mail you a check. Or if you would like us to pay you at WL or on board , either way is fine with us .

[castlegazer]

PJ - how's the computer?

I am really sorry she had the accident. It doesn't crush Quinn when it happens but it is a blow to his confidence and seems to lead to a series of nights with problems. We are just getting to the point of him not having the accidents and being able to wake himself up. I was panicking this weeknd when he slept on the floor - I could just see my sister's new carpet in her bedroom not ever being the same again But he did fine.

Pat - what's up with the car?

ohsodisney - We still haven't made our ADRs for that evening we will meet up at WL - we may need to tag along with you. I don't think you need to be loaded for Whispering Canyon - but if it's anything like Hoop Dee Doo, it doens't hurt - hence why we are meeting for drinks prior to dinner.

Tell the pirate Barry that we all said Happy Birthday!!!!!

You all think it's easier putting the bold on people's names, well add a new twist to that and have to remember everyone's colors too - that is how it is over on the Tagliarchy Thread. I gave up and just go with the bold - they tell me I am a cop out, but damn, even I have to get work done every once in a while. It would take me hours to write a post trying to get everyone's colors right too.
