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

[OHJulie]

Ruby,

I'm pretty sure that the discount for booking on board is 10% and a $200.00 stateroom credit - for 7 day cruise.

I know that I will be working on my DH to rebook on board!

Shy,

Thanks for the coupons, we already have so many printed out that we could use them as confetti off the back of the Roses Verandah. I think that instead of a sweet suite you ought to just buy some more Drinks of the Day, just my opinion, but I will do more research about drinking more and get back to you.

SteveMed with the Banana Hammock on the Banana Boat, that would be quite a sight, and as for all of us riding together, I am not sure if I would want to be in front of Steve or behind him, I guess life is about choices.

Got to go and take the new rep out to dinner, I am not doing well in the BL with all of this entertaining, but the company is picking up the tab so another glass of wine with my Filet please.

Tom

PhillyJen - I am worried about you - check in and give us the wine of the day just so we know you're still there with us!

CG- My bracelet order is a little off. Since you have extras how about this: I'll take what you currently have down for me plus 3 small, 4 medium and 2 large. if there are enough.

That makes- 5 large, 7 medium and 3 small.

Hi Everyone! You all have been keeping busy. I try to keep up on the reading everyday but I usually don't have time to post after all of the reading.

The bracelets are great- can't wait to get ours! I will send payment tomorrow.

I can't believe we can say that our trip is next month- time goes so fast. I started to get out our suitcases to see what we have and may need- DH thinks I am insane for even thinking about packing this early. I'm not really packing- just starting to gather things that we will need so I know if I need to go buy anything.

I am still here! I am glad I am missed. Sometimes....sniff sniff....I feel like I am participating too much....commandeering the board!!

The wine of the day was Lineage Chardonnay- don't know where it is from. It says Carneros under that. It was ok. HGP has his "Staff" shirt on tonight, finishing the basement painting for our dinner party on Saturday night. I have finally settled on the menu and I am soooo happy. Tomorrow is cleaning, setting the table and such....

Hannah and I went to the mall today(King of Prussia-CG!), they didn't have school. They were threatening an ice storm and got all shietty pants and canceled school. Needless to say, I took Kate to school at 9 and it was FINE, what a waste of a day(and the schools have the gaull to complain about parents taking their kids out of school.....)

We did some shopping for girly stuff and then went to Bertolini's for lunch. I I think it is a chain, but there are not many sites. We ordered Bruschetta, YUM!! I love my kid(she is just like her mom!) It was great to spend the whole day with my second grader alone. I miss that! She is such a big girl now and it just was compounded when she pulled $6.00 out of her wallet(she carried a purse today) and ordered Creme Brulee for dessert..... It was a day of bargaining with her. She had $6.00 and everywhere we went she wanted to spend it, not on crap...but on things that I would have bought anyway....shoes for the cruise, lunch, haircut.....Too cute! I got myself some cute Margharita Flip Flops from J. Crew. I have been wanting to get in there, cause I hate ordering things like from the web and finding out their sizes are wierd or something. Then we took Hannah to the salon to get her hair cut. She hadn't had her hair cut since OCTOBER!!! I couldn't believe it. She wants to grow it and doesn't understand that you have to cut it every once in awhile to get it to grow~Now I am tired.

Anxiously awaiting AI tonight. I don't know.....everyone(cept Chris and Elliott) did poorly last night in my opinion! Have a great night.

That makes- 5 large, 7 medium and 3 small.

I'll see what I can do! I'll let you know what we have - child and medium are a bit low.....they're upstairs and I'm downstairs....

Edit to say: Michelle, I only have 2 child size bracelets but can do the rest (5 lg and 7 med)....do you want another medium instead? Let me know as soon as you can so I can fix your order and get it mailed to you.

Thanks!

 

[suziemva]

The bracelets are great- can't wait to get ours!

MOM2 I need your address so that I can mail them to you. Thanks!!! Just PM me.....

 

[mketting]

That's fine Suzie. Thank you and CG for taking care of this, hopefully the rest of us aren't making it to confusing.

 

[castlegazer]

CG- for your next roll call, here are the ages of the kids with us,
girls- 3,9,9,10 boys 3,6,7,12.

I"ll take 12 Adult, 6 medium, 2 child.

This was your original order and you were the one to come up with the idea of "MAGICal"
Through page 101 I had this as your order.

Then on page 132, this was your new order:

CG- Would it help ot hurt if I downsized my order? You may want to just shoot me but I was thinking I don't really need one for everybody im my group maybe just me and the 8 kids. I could use 7 small and 2 medium in that case. If that totally messes up everthing just leave my order or feel free to adjust it to make your numbers work out to correct order amounts. I'll be fine with anything.

Then when I did my final posting of the order you said this:

Bands- I think the order below isn't quite the change I made- 2 large, 5 medium, 2 small.

Michelle, I did screw your order up, but I went back and did not find anywhere where you ordered more than 9 after you changed your order.

I am really sorry - it's my fault because I kept saying I was going to order and then not ordering.

Suzie can hook you up with whatever is left over. Just let me know what the final tally is. Oh, and rubysmom told me to order 20 extra just in case - guess she was right and I was too conservative. It just seemed we had so many extra in the end, no need to up the ante. I was sooo wrong.

That little retrospective took me eons and now I am off to bed. I just feel really bad because I was having a hard time keeping up - I'd write someone's order down and then forget to update the spreadsheet I was keeping. So hopefully everyone else is OK.

 

[suziemva]

That's fine Suzie. Thank you and CG for taking care of this, hopefully the rest of us aren't making it to confusing.

Nah, it makes it challenging and I like a good challenge! Will do and get it out tomorrow.

Nite all!

 

[inthemood]

Hey,

Can I ask you all a favor....
Please stop bringing up SteveMed and his banana hammock...
You all are forgetting I know him, and now I have to keep wiping that image out of my head everytime you refer to it!!!
Tom, yours took me over the edge! I definatley won't be doing that excursion on Castaway Cay.

see there it is again!!!

 

[castlegazer]

By the way, one more mea culpa from me, if Michelle needs one more child size, I can move my order to be only 1 child and 2 medium and 1 large and if need be

I can make it 2 larges, 1 medium, and 1 small - whatever provides everyone the bands they need.

This would give her the smalls she needs.

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

 

[suziemva]

Alright, everything is sealed and ready to go except for those few that I don't have addresses for. We have 9 large and 1 medium and no child size bands leftover. Not bad.... I'll be going to the post office here in about 1 hour - we've gotten such a late start today because Tori and I both slept til 8:00!!! WOW!! Anyway, she's not going to be at school today (they don't allow them to come into class late - more than 10 minutes late) since I can't get her there in time. I never set my alarm anymore because she's usually up somewhere around 7-7:15....well, serves me right...
So, gotta get the rugrat...I mean, child....dresses and all, get everything together and go run errands today...fun, fun, fun!!

Just got word from my dad that his SIL died yesterday. She was the one in the house fire. Seems the skin grafts didn't take and her lungs were so badly burned from the smoke and heat (STEVEMED, I'm still amazed at the risks firefighters take going into burning buildings. You are such a hero!) But she had such health issues, I guess that it's good things happened somewhat quickly. Better than lingering on. Anyway, dad is upset because he can't get a direct flight there and can't drive by hisself down to GA, so he can't go. He's trying to guilt me into driving him down there but I'm sorry! No way. I don't do well driving long distances anymore - crashed my car into the guardrail driving from COlorado to home in VA in two days! Fell asleep driving and hit the guardrail on the PA/OH turnpike! Lots of other things but don't need to get into that here. So, the saga will continue....

 

[castlegazer]

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Wait a second, I thought that we had 2 larges, and 3 smalls, we had needed to trade 2 mediums with a small, but since we had a large already I thought we were good.

Tom

 

[castlegazer]

What are the sizes again? I may want a medium instead of a large...is it too late to change my order? I don't want to go back 50 pages to find that website...

CG...DON'T PLACE THE ORDER YET!!! I definitely want a medium instead of a large...found the sizes after many pages of searching...and now I am really going to screw you up because that'll put you at 21 mediums so you'll have to order up anyway! Sorry!!!

Tom, are purposefully trying to mess with me???????

I think you guys are good based on the ages of your girls. Your order should be fine, unless you meant to order for Pango too - then, we've got problems.

Sarah & Abby should have the smalls, Lindsey should have a medium with Julie, and you get the large. I think it's all good.
