[ulittletinker]

Im Susan... I take my tumbles with good grace and always come up smiling

 

[rubysmom]

Good morning!

Jonna, I'm a Susan too, I guess! Though do I want to be a Susan?? I've never watched the show, and the last role I knew Teri Hatcher in was Lois Lane...not so sure about that, LOL!

WELCOME SHAN, the Banana Man's #1 Fan!! It's great to finally *hear* your voice! Thank goodness SOMEONE is finally here to keep that man in line. He's been completely out of control since the Prez left for vacation.

I can't even begin to tell you east coasters all how jealous I am of all this WDW planning talk! This cruise is going to do me in financially at least until Christmas, so no 2nd trip here, free dining or not. I do plan to rebook on the cruise, though, if the rates are as good as I hear they are. Oh, to live within driving distance of the Mouse!! .......................... ..................................

QOTD:

I'm Lynette....You gave up a great job for this? No one really appreciates you, yet you slog on, with very little sleep and very little thanks. Who can blame you if you occasionally lose it! Hang in there, but lay off the Ritalin.

Well, that speaks to me.....

Had a good day yesterday. BUT stayed up way too late and we're both paying for it today! Tori actually told me that she was going to sleep and got herself ready....unfortunately, couldn't get into her nightie herself and walked out into the dining room in only her panties! AAAGGHHH!! A mom's nightmare!

So, who is the Eggman? Looks like this is the Unsolved Mystery....all I can think of is that he is the Missing 5th Beatle...goo goo g'joob! Or the cook at the firehouse? Definitely German (wiffe) so could it be Eggleston or Eckman? C'mon, Sue! Give us a clue!

Where is our countdown for the day?! Somebody's slacking ......Don't y'all know this is my wake up call in the morning since I can't have coffee???!

Gotta go check on the girl. Watching George of the Jungle upstairs.....

Len, great to see another here! Welcome to the Nut House!!! (Rubysmom says "Hey" too!! She'll do the official welcome later after she finishes her chores - I'm such a taskmaster!!)

Alright, Shannan, got something special that you can make for your man! Was looking up banana bread recipes and came across this!!!

Banana Tent

1 whole banana, peeled and sliced in half
Foil envelope, made with 8x10-inch piece of aluminum foil
1 vanilla bean, split in half
1 tablespoon cold butter
1 tablespoon Myers Dark Rum
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon white sugar
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch grated nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
2 scoops banana rum ice cream (fold bananas into softened rum ice cream )
Fresh mint sprigs
Powdered sugar
Whipped cream

Preheat the oven to 400.
Lay the bananas in the foil envelope. Scrape the vanilla bean and spread the insides over the bananas. Place the scraped pod in the envelope. Add the butter, rum, sugars, and spices to the envelope, seal, and place in the oven. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven, open the envelope and pour the banana with its sauce over the banana rum ice cream. Garnish with whipped cream, powdered sugar and mint.

Looks like a fun place for kids!

alright, looks like I got bleeped. Anyway, on the Platinum Castaway Club website, there are some pics of the new area. If you can't find it, PM me and I'll send the link. Sorry and not trying to offend anyone with the link, just trying to offer pics of the area we've been curious about. Seems this is the only thing I've found on Ocean Quest. Wish more sites would add info on it!

I dub you:

DREAD PIRATE RACKHAM!!!! ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Yet another pirate name generator (fun one) link for all you land lubbers -ARRrrrrrrgghhh! From The Pyrate! http://www.fidius.org/quiz/pirate/

 

[STEVEMED]

Hi Len....I think whith Tom away on vacation we will need you to help Pango and I out.I know you are new but I know you can handle it.Let me first go through the secret ceremony of swearing you in.Repeat after me......there is no banana hammock to small nor any water to cold that will stop me from wearing my Spedo.

Oh ya, one more thing.Make sure you put sun screan in all the right spots.The official banan hammock uniform doesn't cover very much.Above all else if someone laughs at your "size" always and I mean alway blame it on the cold ocean.


Welcome Len to the club boys.

Dirty Jenny Bonney
You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You can't bath as often as you do, on a ship. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr

I guess I won't be bathing more than once a day on the magic .... Its just not proper !!! EEWWWWW!

 

[mketting]

Had a special workshop session today at work. I wasn't minding it until my Supervisor showed up. It took everything in me to control my body language when she would interject her thoughts, in my head I was saying :BLAH, BLAH, BLah" She made the statement that we work with the absolute toughest population of students in all of BOCES II(For those of you outside NY, BOCES is -Board of Cooperative Education Services, multiple school districts contract with a Boces to provide special educ., vocational and various other support services) and yet she refuses to provide us with any support in terms of security or counselors or even any kind of discipline plan. Ok, just needed to vent for a moment.

Desperate Housewife. Well, I took the quiz and I am a Bree. Thus the Obsessive trip planning. My friends also tease me about party planning but they all love to come when I have one.

 

[OHJulie]

I'm a Lynnette - no surprise there!

MK - sounds like you need a vacation girl! How about a disney cruise? Hang in there - 28 days!!!

Loaded???? $$$$$$ I wish! This kind of trip is a rarity! I am planning our next deluxe vacation - we will be camping at the Outer Banks this summer. I can see it now - sun burn, swealtering heat and mosquito's! No, it will be great - but definitely not a Disney Cruise.

Sounds awesome! Maybe this little reference will bring mom2cobysyd out of the woodwork too!

Michelle, you've been saying this for a while - it's really disheartening that it hasn't gotten any better. Hang tough.

I am always reading- just not posting but you drew me out. OBX is great- not sure how I would do camping but since you are close to the beach, it can't be too bad! OHJulie- Where in the OBX do you camp?

I am also a Lynette- I guess I kind of figured it would be her out of all of them.

I would love to go to Disney again in the fall- I even called to get a quote for the new special just out of curiosity. 4 of us at Pop Century for $1221.58 for 5 Nights (including the meal plan and park tickets for 6 days). It is certainly a great deal! I don't think I could convince DH to go on a 3rd vacation this year, especially since 1 is to Disney and the Disney Cruise for a total of 13 days.

It's great that some of you got to meet before the cruise. Sounds like you had a great time.

 

[OHJulie]

Mom2 - we have not camped in the OBX for a very long time - probably 18 years ago? We are going to be staying in Waves. It sounds like it is less commercialized there than in Nags Head, but still close enough that we can drive in to eat. Last time we where there we went to a restaurant called "Awful Arthurs" that my DH still raves about. Are you familiar with it?

I have been thinking that we need to have a DIS meet at Easton - the ladies can shop while the men go to Game Works. Sound inviting?
