Michelle - I think it was you that asked - they have WONDERFUL DCL garb on board! I have a great sweatjacket (on sale) and 2 tank tops (remember my sunburn?) that I bought there! They are so very nice at the store too!!! We were voted Friendliest Family On Board by the Merchandise team....pretty funny but kinda neat!!

..

I am definelty going to need a name to face list too , that would be wonderful .
I will start putting my name on my posts so it will help everyone later .

Thanks Suzie , do they have sale days on the ship ?

Not that I know of but they do have stuff marked down during the cruise.

One thing I don't know if they still do but was really cute was gold by the inch. We got (Tori and I) matching Mickey/Minnie head ankle bracelets (I'll be wearing mine!!) very inexpensive! I think mine was like $19. You pick it all one night, get measured then they have it ready later that night or the next day.

Had a great time at Disney on Ice. Geez, I thought WDW souvenirs were expensive! OMGoodness! Of course, the girls all wanted everything! Not gonna happen!! I didn't take too many pics and not sure how good they are (starting to really hate my camera!!) so I won't bore you all with pics.

CG - I didn't get email from you...have you sent it yet???

ohsodisney - I will send you an email with the site info.

I'm gonna answer my own question because I just found it on the other site. COOL! It's really neat! Great job, CG!

Partypat- Roo looks a little unhappy where the heat don't blow!

She is unhappy....that I moved out and she doesn't want to move her sleeping quarters. Its hard to "TEACH A DOG NEW TRICKS". She's going to be 11 this April and is just one of those dogs you'll have memories of forever. My friends call her the "Bearded Lady", because she has a goat-tee. And at times she has a mohack when theres electricity in the air. Shes a love and a great companion.
Dogs are your best friends.

It looks like I'm the only one on the boards tonight....so I think I'll ramble....

Test drove some cars today...the Honda Accord is looking mighty fine. My son emailed me and said I should get at Accura TL, all the way from Amsterdam. Oh my god, sticker shock! I think I'll leave that one on the lot for when he comes home.

What I have to tell you and you don't know is that the last cruise I took in Feb. 2005, we all became pirates. It started in Ybor City, Florida with looking for pirate gear to go the the Jimmy Buffett concert. Ybor City in itself is a great place to visit. Cuban this and Cuban that. The best was the food. My taste buds tingle at the thought of it. Well, I wore this T-shirt, along with a few accessories:

[/IMG]

The whole cruise after the Jimmy Buffet concert was teaching others to say "ARRRGH" everytime we encounter anyone (in the evevator, at the pool, on the beach, etc). Needless to say, we had a few pirates by the end of the cruise.

I saw a pirate ship one day while in my stateroon alone. Wouldn't you know it, nobody believed me, but I took a picture and they still didn't believe it, so here it is....what do you think?

[/IMG]

And so, I came home from that cruise saying "ARRRRGH", and now, here we go again. My friends think I've gone off my rocker talking about "The Others" and all the So, my BESTEST, BESTEST (Michele and David) got me this statue, as they thought I needed a "Main Man" in my NEW bedroom, since I didn't have a real one (I'm single). What were they thinking Now I get to wake up every morning thinking "ARRRRGH!

Goosh darn it I accidently hit the back button and lost evverything I just wrote .

I love your babbling HEHE , I think that is a pirate ship !!!!Great picture . Heck Pat most of my friends think I'm off my rocker too .

I did get one of the girls pirate outfits , OMG how cute .

I am probally driving DH nuts with my new pirate lingo , ARRRRR , but I think by doing this all day long he is starting to get into it , either that or it maybe because I told him if he is dressed like Jack Sparrow the girls may be staying at the Club longer , ( not that you all need to know that ) LOL .
I truely am infatuated with Jack Sparrow . I know The Pirates of the Caribbean is coming out I believe in June .
Well this should be some voyage !

Keep up with the pirates chat Pat me matey .

This is quite a lonely board tonight , where is everyone ?

Went to Disney on Ice yesterday. It was fun but it was over 2 hours long! Tori was not doing good the last 10 minutes, kept yelling at the skaters to "GO HOME!" We were ALL ready to go when it was over. Good to say we've seen in but probably won't do it again.

Invited our friend and her son over for lunch after church today. Her DH is in Japan - the infamous Wing guy that started us going to Glory Days. Anyway, the kids were playing with the Mr. Potato Head stuff we bought Tori at Disney. Ed started laughing and told me to get the camera....turned around and looked at the two of them...OMGoodness!

Thought we'd head into Old Town Alexandria tomorrow for the President's Day parade but it might be too cold. We'll see. Ed has tomorrow off so not sure what we will do. Just want to spend some family time.

So, what are your plans???????

 

[partypat]

Maria, I loved the Jack Fix, I was going to rent the movie, but thought I might wait and hope they have it on the cruise.

Suzie, sounds like you have already had a full weekend. The kids look like they were having fun with Mr. Potato Head. That game brings back memories.

Yesterday I test drove cars. I need a new one and oh my....what a decision. Sticker Shock

My girlfriend came over today and taught me how to use my CD burner. So I have my hands full tonight burning all my picture files onto CD's. I also have a label maker for the CD's and thats a job in itself.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to just go and do it. Buy a new car that is. I'm leaning toward the Honda Accord, but want to drive a Passat and Camry before I make the final decision. Honda has 0% interest this weekend and thats a big motivation.

Hello all,

I've been away for four days, and hardly any posts. Everyone leave this weekend? Here I thought that I'd have to spend the next few hours trying to catch up what I had missed. Let's get this thing going again.

We are trying to decide if we can afford to add a couple of days onto our trip and do some WDW time. Regular priced airfare right now is around $750 per person. (We are a family of 5 remember) Add on the price of the cruise, convert that to Canadian dollars, and there isn't any money left for anything else.

Loved the scrapbook page on the other site. I've never done digital scrapbooking before. Is it a lot of work to exchange one picture for another once the page is made? I'm hoping to get my sister to take our picture tomorrow, so I can post a newer one than what's there. My kids have grown at least 12 inches since then. You guys would never be able to pick us out of a crowd if that was your reference! I'll see what I can get done tomorrow about the picture. I know, you've heard that one before!

By the way, did the braclets get ordered? How long do they take to come? They would be great to add to the Easter gifts.

Talk to you all in the morning. Hopefully there will be more action then!

Barb

Hi Suzie , cute picture , gotta love kids . don't you sometimes miss the carefree days when we didn't care what other people thought and everything was so silly ?

Pat , I had a camry , LOVED IT ! I had it for 6 years , ran and looked like brand new still when I got into an accident pulling into a McDonalds . I didn't think they would have to total it but they did and I cried , that was the best car ever . i now drive a Impala LX , and I have to say at least in my neck of the woods the heated seats are a God send and I will now never ever buy a car without them , I do LOVE this one almost as much .

DH leaves again tomorrow . His B'day os Tuesday so we are going to have a B'day dinner when he comes home on Saturday . I once again have no exciting plans. I have been trying really hard not to buy as much as I use to since I could honestly call myself a shopping addict , so we avoid the malls lately .I may take the girls to the libray or the zoo this week if it warms up a bit .

Good night eveyone .

 

[OHJulie]

Good morning everyone!

Barb - Hope you can manage to add a couple of days at Disney. I am so jealous of everyone who is going before the cruise. There is just no way that we can do it, because we would have to take the kid out longer. And I am sure we are going to get grief from the schools for this week.

Pat - Good luck with the car shopping. We own a Honda Odyssey and a Toyota Tundra and my company car is a VW Passat. I like the Passat (especially because it is free), but it just does not seem to have the extra touches that a Honda has. And of course the Toyota will probably run for ever. The Passat does not seem to have anywhere to put STUFF, very little storage inside the car. Also, the trunk is VERY hard to open. Check it out - it doesn't seem like a big deal, but after awhile it get's real annoying. I do like the handling of the Passat - very easy to get in and out of parking spots.

We Love, Love, Love the Honda. They seem to design them perfectly with all of the little extra's that you don't even know you need until you use it.

OHSO - You are starting to inspire me with the pirate outfits - I may have to do a little something!

No, the order has not gone in - and not for my procrastination either! I am waiting for you all to tell me for sure if the order is correct. The people who said they didn't think it was right originally have not said that the order I posted is now correct!!!!!! Ahem, Julie - I see you there! (Thanks for the countdown today too)

I want to order, but I don't want to screw it up either.

It's a long weekend here in the states, so that may be the dullness. But, I am at work, but burried. I will return with tales of my weekend for you shortly.

Candles were lit, - degrees were seen, sleeping bags were deployed, and restaurants were heroes.

Pat - never can go wrong with a Honda.

Oh, and I had Angelina Pinot Noir and it was one of the most spectacular wines I have ever had!!! Thank you for getting me to try Russian River Valley wines. It was sooooo goood. I was lucky to be able to walk out of the restaurant on Saturday night.

 

[castlegazer]

Is it a lot of work to exchange one picture for another once the page is made?

No, not at all - and thanks. I thought it would be good to see everyone in one page - and be able to figure out ages of kids better.

I am trying a new page too to see if I can get it clearer, but it probably won't be this week as I am burried - all the down time last week was waiting for some info to be able to prepare for a meeting i have Friday morning and then that afternoon I fly out for Orlando for work for the weekend. I still need to pack - clean the house - get the famliy ready for me to be gone for four nights - and probably work every evening for this meeting.

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

Sorry CG...you had the order correct. One large, two medium, two small. Thanks for taking care of this!

 

[ohsodisney]

Good morning everyone!
OHSO - You are starting to inspire me with the pirate outfits - I may have to do a little something!

OHJulie

Hi julie , it will be nice that for just one night I can step into something that I am not , a wench . LOL , we were not going to dress up either at first but so many others inspired me also to go ahead and just do it .

Bellaandreallasmom , Oh no naughty me , sorry about that I wasn't sure what the picture with 69 was all about . OOOPS . I didn't even realize how close we are to setting sail .

I did start tanning yesterday and of course as usual I burned my bum . I am only going to go twice a week till 3 weeks prior then I'll do 3 times a week . It just feels so nice to be warm and it is the only alone time I get even if it is only 15 minutes .

CG, where are you staying for your Orlando business trip ? Are you going to get any chance to have a little bit of fun time . I am ready to tell DH that work is sending me to Orlando for 3 days just so I can get the heck out of here and to some warmer weather. Do you think you can send an offical looking invitation for me to join you ?
HEHE .
