[suziemva]

Aw, thanks Trish! My first birthday wish came true already! I got to sleep in till 10:20!!!! Ed and I were up til 2 am doing a final edit on his relocation manual he is marketing. He has two meetings set up today and needed it done! I, on the other hand, procrastinated editing it until we were down to the wire. Anyway, he stayed in this morning so that I could sleep! Yeah!

In other news, tomorrow is National Talk Like a Pirate Day! I keep thinking it's today, but, uh, no, that's my birthday! Hey, two celebrations in two days....gosh, makes me almost feel like I'm on vacation or something!!!

 

[castlegazer]

My son's birthday is a week prior to my birthday which is one week prior to our anniversary - it makes one big holiday! Hence the cruise!

Here's hoping you have the same luck with a big holiday of your birthday and your new daughter's!!!!

Hey everyone just checking in so us men are still represented, happy belated Suzie, and congrats to Trish, you are the woman, running just to run, that would be like drinking beer because I liked the taste, you are a better person that I, keep it up. It won't be to long before the new rates will be out and we will be booking 08, we have decided that it doesn't matter eastern or western, just so we go the 1st week of May.

I don't know if everyone likes my lookbacks, but to be honest I really do it for me, so here goes. We are 136 days from which we got off the boat, on that day we were at post 936 and it was page 63 it really does seem like yesterday.

We have just under nine weeks before we are at Disney over Thanksgiving, we are going to be down there for 11 nights and looking at our schedule it does not seem like we will be able to get it all done.

Hope all is well and everyone is doing fantastic,

Tom

WOW~~~!! Page 63 was a blast from the past. Having been home only a few weeks from visiting Trish and her family, and the countdown to cruise time! WOW!

Tom, hope all is well with y'all. I know you said that you were traveling quite a bit this summer for work. Not the travel I would have been doing, but we all have bills to pay, right?

You guys are going down for Thanksgiving right? Weren't you meeting up with SteveMed? Wonder how he's doing.....found the pics of him and his "Special Speedo" the other day! Lordy, laughed so hard....well, we won't finish the rest of that!

Anyway, hope the time passes quickly for you guys and that your trip to the World is wonderful. I truly miss it! This past weekend would have been my birthday trip followed 6 weeks later with our annual vaca...the time we met you guys down there prior to the cruise! Boy, seems like yesterday at times! We so enjoyed getting to meet you guys then! Way cool that you would take time out of your first day there to meet up. But then, Tom, YOU THE MAN!!!

Alright, gotta go help Honey-Do with hanging things in Ameera's room. This should be the last of it and not a day too soon, IMHO! Only 19 more days tomorrow! Time is flying!!!!!

 

[castlegazer]

Well, my son has stopped wetting the bed - that's progress from Page 63!



Um, I got in a car accident yesterday, and well, I tustled with a semi tractor trailer and decided it would be a good idea to kiss it's rear end and see if those metal bars really do keep cars from sliding under their wheels. I am here to report to you that, yes, they do, and man do they screw the living doody out of your car in the process. I am fine - embarassed but fine - and the kids were not with me. [BIG HUGE SIGH] The car, not so fine. But it was not my new one. But, we're not going to put it onto insurance, so........well, let's just say, my allowance has been cut short.

[SIGHHHHH]

Life........

Shyla! Sorry to hear about the accident but so glad no one was hurt!

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Hey Shyla,

How much do travel agents make, I know you gotta put food on the table, and what is all this about customer gifts?????

Sorry to hear about your accident, glad you are alright.

My husband would say, "they don't make any money!" - Thank God I am not doing this for the money! It is just sad, sad, sad, how little you earn per hour when you break it down. But it's mostly fun to do.

I just sent my clients who checked in today an awesome gift and they are staying at Pop Century, so no big money there, but they are incredibly sweet and we have been intensively planning this trip for months now - free dining takes a lot out of you as a TA. I usually send flowers - but this was on special and I loved it!

You know I was just teasing you about another post that I saw you had replied to. You are going to let us know when the new rates come out, right.

I've been gone for a few days and have a lot to catch up on I see. Reminds me of before the cruise when you would have pages to read everytime you stopped by.

Suzie, Sorry I missed your birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Hope you had a great one! At your stage of pregnancy, the best present would probably be a quiet house and a soft warm bed! Not much longer and you'll be creating another birthday.

Castlegazer, Hope you are OK from the accident. Is your vehicle still drivable? I liked your pictures by the way. Do you custom order the ribbon, or is this a package you have delivered through Disney? I'd love to be able to use that ribbon on my client's packages, but it's never been available to us up here before. It makes a really nice touch. OK, I'll stop obsessing about the ribbon now.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Barb, have to tell you something to pass on to the kiddos! Tori has show and tell every Thursday and it has to start with the letter they are learning that week. So this week was the letter M. She looked around her room and found the Moose with Money in it that y'all gave her! It was such a hit in school, the teacher asked where we had gotten it. Was such a great story to tell her and we had a little walk down memory lane!

Thanks again! Can't look at it without thinking of you guys! Trish, just like Seattle Bear! And yes, it still has to be in bed with her before she will go to sleep!

 

[suziemva]

oh, yeah....one more little tidbit of info.....

As of tomorrow, we only have.....


16 more days till Baby Ameera arrives!!!!!!

Okay, had to get that out of my system. I feel better now.

 

[suziemva]

Tom - is it Congratulations or Condolences to you? I can never remember - State or not?

If not, Congrats on the game. If State, I'm so sorry! Stayed up to watch the end of that game really thinking that they would win.

Sorry I can't remember. We have so many friends that are Michigan fans and it's hard to remember State or not.

Duude, I know that - It's just that it is sad.

I quit my job today! And I am thinking you all can guess I didn't do it to do TA full time now, right???

I was offered a position as a Vice President and I would be located in their regional office right in my home town! No more commutes!!!!! Oh, I am sooooo excited. It's a dream job for me also!

YIPEEE!!!!

 

[Lisa D]

Congratulations Shyla!

I just received my prize that I won through The Mickey Room Podcast. It is a Pirate Mickey plush about 18" tall. He's from the Disney Store. Makes me think of our cruise too!
