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

[ohsodisney]

Rubysmom , I say the wench costume , you'll be a hit at the airport !

Phillyjen , I know it;s so different from when we grew up and could ride our bikes down the street or walk with our friends to the store. The kids just can't so that nowadays, it's so sad. Someday I would love to move from the country into a neighborhood so my girls can make some friends , they just have no one out here

Well , once again i did some major damage through TitleNine I just love their stuff and the gaucho workout pants are incredible that I ordered them in Java . I feel so much more comfortable lately in workout clothes and t-shirts. I even bought a pair of yoga shorts , that's a first for me , that's my present to myself for the weight loss

Lisa D , how did you get upgraded ? How did you find out?
Lucky , lucky you

Suzie , keep in touch while your down there !

Tom and Julie , hope you are having a great time !!!!!!

PJ - so good to hear from you. You had me worried - especially when you didn't answer your cellphone!! Glad to see you're okay and the kids are alive!

Lisa D - congrats! That is so awesome! Last year we were upgraded from a cat 8 to a cat 4! Talk about a Mousear moment!!! We had such an awesome cabin right down from where the Roses will be! Ahhh, the memories....

Just finished my packing except for my morning stuff. Geez, thought I could get away with just one big suitcase, but nope. Had to go with a small one too....ever feel like you forgot to pack the kitchen sink?!

Yeah, Roses! Aren't you allowed a mental health day?! C'mon! Sanity is calling!!!! Or at least I will be! Hee-hee!

Trish, I will probably be wearing a blue shirt with light blue jeans. Hope that helps! Worse comes to worst, I can call you on your cell phone until I see you! Aw, we'll get it hooked up!

Bed time for bonzo. Ed is putting the girl to bed, so I must be done soon. Early morning and I won't be right until I've had my sleep again! Ugh....but it's worth it!

No problem, Suze...I'll be the one with the mop cap, cinched-up bustier and beer stein!

Oh, no...just thought of something I could bring to help you recognize me...do I have the guts to pull it off? in public even?

We'll see...

Gnite, all!

 

[The Roses]

Dang nab it, now I have to lose 30 lbs in 2 days! I was holding out for the 30-pounds-in-30-day program, but ohhhh nooooo, you have to push me into becoming svelt by this weekend! Now I'm gonna have to pay for overnight shipping on the Do-It-Yourself-Liposuction machine I just ordered off E-bay....

I go to work and when I come home I have 3 pages to catch up on.Sorry Tom I am trying my best to keep up but even a pirate has to give up and walk the plank sometimes.

I think I will just check in every day and say hi. It's hard for someone like me who is a man of few words.

 

[Lisa D]

Congrats to everyone on their weight loss. I'm trying too but I'm a scale-o-phobe so no idea how I'm doing - but I'm trying for like 200 minutes of cardio a week (because I hate to diet)

Honestly I have NO IDEA how we were upgraded. Since I'm obssessive-compulsive with the cruise, I was just checking Disney's website from time to time to see if it would happen. Since yesterday was 30 days out, I thought I'd check and lo and behold, what was once stateroom 7562 has been changed to 8084 ! I'm so afraid to look again this morning in case it was changed back! I even printed it to make sure it wasn't a dream! You guys should check your ressies on their website too - maybe there are more of us that the Mouse has upgraded! Roses, I think we are pretty close to you.

PhillyJen, I live pretty close to you (Lehigh Valley) and our grass is getting green too. And I too would be excited to get my windows cleaned. Should be 75 degrees today - Yay!

Suzie and Trish - have a great visit.

[Pango]

I wanted to post some Pictures to help Julie out on the countdown but
I can't figure out on how to do it.
Can some one help???

 

[OHJulie]

Good morning everyone!

Thanks for the encouraging words on my weight loss. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and it was very nice to step on that scale and see the numbers lower than they had been for a long time! BP was good also!

Well. it was sooo beautiful here yesterday that a friend and I decided to go to a great shopping area in Hudson, Ohio. I believe it is owned by the same developer as Easton and Legacy Village. Found some great bargains and had a wonderful time walking around in the sunshine. Of course, I was still working . Took work calls and everything - I am a great multitasker!

LisaD - Congrat's on the upgrade! Alas, I checked ours and no upgrade for us. I am very happy where we are though!

We have a fun weekend planned. Girls night out tonight! We are trying a new Wine Bar and Small Plates restaurant. I am driving, so I have to be good!

OHJulie

 

[Little Lady Lisa]

Hey Pangs, Julie will be so proud of us....but sorry I can't help. I guessing that copying and pasting isn't working. No clue, maybe CG can help.

Good Luck,

[rubysmom]

Hey, Pango, LLL, you mean all we had to do was hide the Tuggles away somewhere to get you to post?? Nice to see you around!! Thanks for trying, though with the pic o' the day...I can never get it to work either. I'll have to have Suzie train me.

OHJulie--I'm sure I'm displaying my lack of haute couture, but wine and small plates sounds like very little food with a very high price tag. Am I right? Does sound like fun though! And what a super friend you are to be the DD.

LisaD--Thanks! Looks like we may have a mini-meet on our hands!

Steve--When you're the banana hammock man, who needs words?? I'm sure you make Tom proud just the same. After all, he is the club president.

The Roses & ulittletinker--You guys ROCK! This is going to be great!
Since Suzie is presently almost 30k feet in the air, I will officially 'quit (my) belly achin' on behalf of both of us and say see you soon! Not sure where--it's changed since I grew up and hung out at Denny's, so I'll have to see what's a decent place. We'll PM you ASAP. Can't wait to tell her when I see her!!!

Gotta run, (no, really, I mean I gotta get on my treadmill) and get an hours' worth of typing done before I leave for the airport to pick up Suzie & Tori! We'll ck back this evening.

 

[castlegazer]

I couldn't come up with any Disney pics, though - Julie, I am failing at this - I hope you're having a good day today leaving us all in the lurch here.

 

[OHJulie]

Trish - Your right - small plates - high price. But after the first few glasses of wine you kind of forget about it. The small plates are like appetizers and the idea is to go with a group and try all kinds of different items. And then go for the dessert!!!!!

 

[castlegazer]

Lisa, that is AWESOME!!!! Nope, not me - still 6608. But I kinda knew there wouldn't be an upgrade in my future. I gave them hell at the start of this process back in 2004 to get that room. I had a smack dab in the center of the ship room because I had booked so early. Probably best available type of thing and I had my travel agent call and change it a few months later to an aft room because I wanted to be near the less used elevator and the easy access to the Mickey Pool and such things. The CMs couldn't figure it out - but I'm happy with the location. I don't like middle of the ship locations and I have had them on the last two cruises. Most people do, but not me. Toooooo much caos for me.

PJ - bout time you had something to say - come on, girl. Bwwwwaaaahhhhaaaa "I didn't have anything to say" I actually had completey forgoten to respond to the hair cutting thing and to ask for more details about your weekend with Patty. I put gum in my hair when I was her age and my babysitter cut it out - yeah, that looked good on her resume for future employment by my parents.

OHJulie, have fun tonight! That's what I did last weekend, but it wasn't a girl's night out. I loved doing a wine flight. It was a great learning experience and they poured heavy. I also loved the little apps like you are going to get. If they have dates wrapped in bacon - get them - to die for!!!!!!!! We also got chocked with the bill. We spent almost $100 for four pepole for what was supposed to be just wine and desert.

 

[castlegazer]

I just have to say Pango and Lisa - so sad, you two - but yeah, thanks for playing. I just right click on photos and steal them from web sites by copying them and then paste them here.

Regardless, good to see you guys!!! Thanks for trying. I got caught up with work stuff - heaven forbid - and didn't get here right away.



Guys, be scared, very scared of this unholy union about to take place on the west coast. All I have to say is that I am in the know enough to be worried. It's gettin awful crowded out there in th Pacific Northwest.

 

[STEVEMED]

CG...Great job with the count down.

 

[castlegazer]

Just had to repeat this one here for all my New England pals down there in Rhodie!!!! But how damn sad was it that we got our pants handed to us by Aroyo yesterday? I trust Theo, but man, it's kinda tough to see the light at the end of this little deal.

 

[Pango]

Thanks!!!

 

[Pango]

didn't work

 

[castlegazer]

no, no, no - you right click on htem then you hit copy - not copy the url - and then come back and paste it here like this:

Good one!
