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

[castlegazer]

Never fear, I actually got it - and knew exactly what you were talking about.

 

[partypat]

Please tell me there will be people in costumes on the ship , my DH will fall over if there isn't .I have to say thou I did remind him of the day that we went to the front of the ship wrapped in just sheets , so I told him it can't be any worse then that !!!! It was 5:00 am and I didn't think there would be anyone out there yet , well I was so wrong , people were laughing their a``'s off thou. No , it wasn't Toga day on the cruise either .

I've been after my family about their pirate gitty-ups, but their being resistant. I do plan on getting with the program myself.

On the last cruise I went on last February, my girlfriends decided that we needed to throw our panties off the back of the ship. Well needless to say, on the last night we tossed them to the wind and almost turned the boat when the wind got to them

 

[ohsodisney]

WOOHOO , Pat is joining us !!!! You made my day! DH called again and asked about the pirate night and if most everyone dresses for it, I said " Oh yeah just about everyone " . Pat ,can I come live with you till Winter is over ? I have not been outside all week , I can't take this NY weather anymore . Dh said it was 60 or so today in MD , I'm so jealous!

 

[castlegazer]

I forgot to tell you all that at lunch time I got stuck in a massive traffic jam of news crew - the satellite trucks were already there - vans carrying the news personalities when I left for the grocery store. I idiotically left a liitle late for lunch not thinking about the fact that the arraingment of Neil Entwistle was at 2pm. (for your cliff notes during tonight's national news, I work in Framingham, MA - the murder happened in Hopkington about 5 miles from here and district court is here in Framingham).

This is sooooo sad

 

[ohsodisney]

Thats whole thing is unthinkable to me . He is absolutely a heartless person. It seems he had that whole thing planned out for quite sometime !

Can you tell I'm bored again today . Seems when DH is away I just don't know what to do with myself .

 

[ohsodisney]

I just found this on Ebay . I wish I saw this before I bought mine . Darn

 

[mom2cobysyd]

We are dressing up for pirate night. My husband's costume just came today- I love Ebay. Sydney can't decide if she wants to be a pirate like her brother (in a little more feminine costume) or tinkerbell. I am still working on my own. Here is my handsome Jack Sparrow and his mates:

I think my bracelet order is wrong- should be 2 Lg; 1 Med; 2 Small (we only have 5 people in our group) Thanks!

The weather has been decent for Ohio the last couple days but the word is it will go down to 10 degrees this Saturday Spring can come early for me!

 

[rubysmom]

Hello, all--

We're getting some nasty cold arctic wind today here in NW Washington. Very sunny but very cold. I'm with you all on the cold--looking fwd to Caribbean temps!

Mom2--your crew looks great!

Ohso--I definitely want to dress up, but I may be the only one as my DS & his buddy may be 'too cool' and my DD can be shy at times. Ebay is a great idea...I've been wondering where to get a good costume without paying a hook and a pegleg...aarrrrrrgh! (i crack myself up!)

That video from Timon was really cool! My kids & I watched it--I only wish there were more people in it, showing the atmosphere more. Soon enough, soon enough, I know!

CG, thanks for doing all that with the bracelets and handling all of our changes!

-Trish

 

[ohsodisney]

Hi Momtocobysyd , I love it , the costumes are great , my DH is Jack Sparrow too , there will be lots of HOT Jacks walking around LOL . I am an Ebay addict , buying and seling . I am on sort of a lul right now since I have sold most of the girls Spring clothes from last year .


Yeah Ruby , I'm so happy you are dressing up too . How old is your DD ? One of mine is going trhough a shy stage too but she does warm up after she mets people a few times . I'm sure they are going to love the Oceaneers Club .

Survivor is on gotta run.

 

[ohsodisney]

I have decided that one of the best ways for all of us to lose weight and become the Biggest Loser is to sign up for Survivor . The girls look like they already drop 10 pounds each . Thats it , from now till the cruise it is sea water and little Nemo's for me, maybe a bug or 2 for dessert .

 

[rubysmom]

Ohso--My DD is 8, so she will be in the Lab, not the club But she is a young 8 in my opinion and has good friends who are 4-7 yos. Whenever we all meet up on the ship, I'm hoping she won't be shy!

I'm SO excited--I just ordered Pirate costumes for myself and my DD! Not sure how to post the picture--sorry, I know it's been explained, but no time to try it out now! But both are really cute and simple--nothing 'hoeish'

As expected, my I showed some ideas to my son and he said they were "totally lame", lol. I know he'll be disappointed if a bunch of the other 'tweens are dressed up and he & Isaac aren't. I think I'll bring them along at least a pirate shirt and sash and they can take it or leave it.

Speaking of Biggest Loser, I 'weigh in' tomorrow morning and have been good this week and doing serious treadmilling, so I hope to have good news to report in the am!

I would totally win Survivor on the first day, once they saw me dressed in skimpy island-wear, they would all swim away! (Okay, a bit excessive--and I promise not to dress in skimpy island-wear on the cruise ok? Unless I've reached 'goal' by that time...then perhaps...)

 

[ohsodisney]

If you just copy the costume from the site and then paste it here that works too . Good for you for working so hard at the losing weight . I have to wait till 4 weeks before we go or I will completley blow it . I always gain about 7 pounds by the end of the trip .

My girls are so excited to met all the kids from this group , we talk about it alot and how they will have so many new friends to play with . Holly is especailly outgoing I hope your little one doesn't get scared when she comes up to her right away and hives her a big hug . , that is how Holly is .

Good nite all , hope everyone had a wonderful day .

Mketting , hope today was better for you !

 

[partypat]

Alright you guys, this is driving me crazy I have been so busy at work, yup, real estate in the Wine Country is on the move again. During December and January it was so slow that I was able to get in the mix with you'all and have some fun during the day. Sad to say, I don't have that leasure time at work lately. They want me to earn my keep and I need to make the big bucks so I have hang with you guys in the Carribean . My favorite saying is "The more your work, the more you make, the better vacations you take" , but back to my rant...by the time I get home and am able to partake, all of you are off to bed or watching Lost or Survivor or some such thing. So, I tend to miss out on the banner of posting back and forth. But, I have to say, you'all are very entertaining. And don't get me wrong, by the time I'm watching Lost, Survivor or my other favorite programs, you'll are having sweet dreams.

 

[partypat]

I know what we need to get this thing going tonight, click on this!!!!!

Let go everyone

Allright, Tom....not that badger again. Your killing us..........

 

[rubysmom]

Ohso--My Emma is a hugger too, so if she gets past the shy part that will be just fine!

I hear ya, PartyPat--the action is usually over by the time I get on here to check it out. I did get in on Napoleon, though...sad, I know--

But this cruise is right around the corner! Gotta work on a door sign next...
Bought some new luggage from Disney outlet yesterday--great deal on that stuff. As soon as it arrives, it will be my packing headquarters. WOO HOO

Tom maybe I missed it, but I don't recall seeing any comments on your great pic of a banana hammock! Not to start that up again but I totally lost it when I saw that post. I only wonder what terrors you had to search thru online to find it??

Let's print that out & laminate it for Steve's door sign!!

Ok, I'm done

 

[castlegazer]

Sorry guys, and Pat especially, I am here, but I am working on something special for you all - and to make it easier for all of us to add faces to names. I have been hard at work on it all night and now I must go off to bed. It will be a multi day project - but I will let you all know when it's done.

By the way, is that all for changes - I thought there were more............ Ok - waiting till you all get back to me to order.

 

[partypat]

I guess a have the board to myself , so here I go..........

Julie, I love your countdown....keep them coming!

Rubysmon and The Roses, what's up with this....you send your cold weather down my way. The is still here, but dipped into the 20's last night and never got over 55 today. They say it might snow in the foothills this weekend, if it rains. So much for the trees budding and the daffadolis popping all over the countryside. Hope the frost doesn't damage the grape crop since the vines started to bud in the hot weather, but not likely as the winemakers have the means to ward it off, namely fans. It gets quite noisy in the vineyards at night during this time of the year.

Suzie, 25 wings....that must be SOME bar-b-que you guys have back there. I may need to make a visit just to sample what you'all are talking about.

CG, so sorry about Quinn....theres nothing worse than a child that is sick. Nothing you can do when they can't tell you how awful they feel. When they show the signs of REALLY being sick it freaks you out. Especially a high fever and everything that goes with it. On to better thoughts, thanks for the link to Timons video, I watched a smidgen today and plan to watch it all after I finish posting. As to the Irish Pub at Pleasure Island, I can't wait. I went to Ireland 2 years ago with my sister, son and daughter. We rented a house in the West of Ireland and had a great time. The best was at 5:00 when we would look at each other and say, "Its Guinness Time" and head for a Pub. Great Memories and lots of singing. Memories that will never die. Of course the driving was a challenge. I only hit 3 curbs the first day. KEEP TO THE LEFT....KEEP TO THE LEFT....not to mention you were sitting on the right and it was a stick shift. Using your left hand to shift was a challenge in itself not to mention the round abouts and all the sheep in the road. And by the way thanks for taking time in YOUR busy schedule to take time out for us to order the braclets. You go girl

As to all of your Pirates and Wenches.......just know that all those that dress up on Pirate Night ROCK in my world. I have been after my family to get it together and they just look at me and roll their eyes I'm sure their saying, PartyPat's at it again (that really is my nickname....my 40 year old nephew gave it to me when he was a teenager years ago). but rest assured....the women folk in my family will all be hanging with the Jack Sparrows on Pirate Night and telling their better half that they should have got with the program.

I have a pirate box started to throw out at the wantabees on pirate night. It'll be interesting to see what they pick out of the goodie box.

I got an email from my son, Justin, and he's in Amsterdam. He said he was hanging out in the "Hippie Lounge" at the hostel. I asked him if he was reliving my life, as I grew up during the 60's in SF Thankfully, I grew up, not like some in the really northern area of California.

Well, here's to all of your sleepy heads I'm off to watch survivor.

 

[partypat]

And...PS, if all of you could post your favorite flavor of wine, I might have something in my goody bag that you might like.

 

[suziemva]

partypat - good to see you on the boards. Normally I am here late but today has just been too much....even though it's after 11 here. Was gonna watch Bones and Lost tonight but it will have to wait...too tired!

Make mine a VIRGIN....and let me know if you were able to get the one I emailed you about. I would need to pay you and send you the money!

Tori will be Tinkerbell on the cruise but she also has the cutest Pirate Mickey ears so not sure....whatever DH says.... he's gonna be the one hauling the luggage!! Good thing is that I only have so many pg clothes that it won't even take a full suitcase! Note to men: easier packing if your wife is pregnant!!

Weather was gorgeous here today! 65 when we went out to lunch! Just wish the ground wasn't so muddy or we would have gone to the park. Bummer...

Ed's gonna try to get an earlier flight out tomorrow. Looks like the furniture will be delivered to the house earlier than planned which puts him ahead of the game tomorrow. The earlier flight out that SW has is at 2:50 pm! That sure beats 8:25 pm!!

Found out tonight that a friend of ours is being deployed to Iraq for a year. Not uncommon in this area with all the military but still always a shock. Proud of him for serving but sad that he has to be gone for a year.

Good night all!

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Trish,

All that work on the Banana Hammock and you would think that at least Steve would have checked in and given me some props, I thank you for the acknowledgement it does mean a lot.

Pat,

Sorry for the Badgers, but am I the only one that just digs that song? As for my favorite flavor, Pat there isn't anything that you can bring that I won't like, I grew up out in the boonies, I have drank grain alcohol, did not enjoy it, but I drank it. I recently found Healdsburg Cab that I really enjoy, a 2002 that isn't overpriced, but like I said the boys growing up would have drank anti freeze if we wouldn't have had anything else.

Suzie,

I hope Ed makes it home for you earlier than later, I travel way to much and trust me we would much rather be at home.

Tom
