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

[PhillyJen2006]

TT-What has happened to your Queen? You are talking all kinds of smack(which we certainly appreciate here in Philly), but the beautiful Julie hasn't posted as much as boo in a few months! I miss her. Hannah misses Sarah!

Anyway, I am back to work tomorrow for my last 2 months.....going to be tough. Have to buy a car for the first time in my life. Having some heartburn over that......I am used to Hummers, Caddy's and Suburbans and now I have to actually pay for something.......Ouch!

Hoping all is well with everyone, and since no one is from Boston.... Please Pray for the EagleS!@!!!!! We need it badly'!

And BTJ-where is JenLynn???? I miss her too

pj

 

[DisneyJam]

JenLynn, seems to have abandon us. , I think she is fearing getting too attached and not being able to cruise with everyone. Also she is a bit bogged down with the teaching thing

You have a point though!! TT calls everyone out, but his own Queen is a non participant. ***

I am used to Hummers

Yeah, I could get use to those too.

Oh and Congrats PJ on your early retirement!! That's wonderful. Enjoy the TV on Bon Bons!!

 

[castlegazer]

Helllooooo from Philly---home to the soon to be Superbowl Champs!!!

Yeah OK - whatever

Congrats on your retirement. Who is Princess Annalise? My son likes to cook and play with doll houses (action figure play scapes my husband says) - they are all wierd at 3. I don't know who's child he is either, he likes everything neat and tidy and tells me to put stuff away.

I am here still - no popping for me yet. I am working hard on keeping her in there. I know full well what a newborn entails and I like her safely inside me thank you very much.

Can you hear me crying all the way in Philly and BWI??? I can't believe I'm being called out by my peeps!!! While it's true that my wonderful wisdom has been absent lately (okay, it's been nearly a month), I'm still here in spirit...I'm going to have to go with the majority though and say that after getting really into this whole thing at the beginning (heck, I'm the one who started this thread), I realized that I'm just not the type of person who can post every day for eighteen months!!! But I guess that's what I have TT around for...or Mr. Disney Freak, as I (and all our friends) like to call him!!! He won't let me (or anyone else for that matter) forget about this cruise for one minute...he talks about it daily!!!

Okay BTJ, you let us down!!! I thought for sure that you had the power of persuasion to convince your buds that cruising with us was definitely the way to go!!! But I said it before and I'll say it again...I'M NOT GOING TO BEG That's another reason I have TT around...he's the begger!

So life here in Mid-Michigan is just rockin! We had 26.8 inches of snow during the month of January and since TT had his little "procedure" done I got to shovel most of it!!! Between soccer three times a week (Princess 1) and swimming twice a week (Princess 2) and Brownies twice a week (Princess 1 & 2) and playgroup twice a week (Princess 3), it's easy to see why I don't have time to post!!!

Well, time to pour more coffee and get ready for my "treat" of the day...watching the opening monologue on Regis and Kelly! Just think PhillyJenn, you'll be able to do that too in less than two months!!! By the way, welcome to early retirement I retired on April 1st six years ago and let me tell you, it was a great move for us...there's nothing better than getting to the mall during the week and beating everyone else to the best sales!!! Okay, okay, there are other advantages too (did I mention Regis and Kelly?) Seriously though, being home with the Princesses rocks! Well, most of the time!

Have a great day everyone, and I promise I'll try and be better about posting!

Hey guys!!!! I thought I'd bump your thread back to the FIRST page where it should stay *otherwise you will get the thread of shame honor* and tell all of you who don't know these people just how great they are!!! You are going to have a blast! If we hadn't had such a letdown time on our last Eastern you bet your bippy I'd be back on board...BUT...since it sucked..well.....................you can do the math on that one

Tom--oye on the surgery!! Julie don't let him wimp out and use it as an excuse.....Monkeyboy's been on that end but he didn't wuss out of helping me LOL

Hydster and Monkeyboy are officially retired from cruising at least for the next little while but you guys are going to have a great time and though I only got to meet Philly Jen and HG Pat once....well.....They were great oh and by the way we feel SOOOO slighted at not being invited to the big ...drinking fest *but since our brats wouldn't go to their clubs it is understandable!*

Ok well hydster is off your thread and I promise not to hijack it anymore!

Ok well hydster is off your thread and I promise not to hijack it anymore!

Heidi

Please, hijack away - these guys are lame at keeping this thread up - they keep leaving it to a nine month pregnant woman to do (good plannning there).

Hey - so where's PhillyJen so I can rib her some more about her team?

 

[PhillyJen2006]

I'm here! I totally forgot we had a New Englander aboard. I apologize. You know we are delusional in Philly! Don't forget our fans booed and threw snowballs at Santa Claus! I am a transplant from the north and this Philadelphia hype is UNBELIEVABLE! I am just glad they made it this far, and that I was able to find 4 McNabb jersies on such short notice. My girls had T.O. jerseys( I can't figure out how to spell that) but we weren't sure that he was going to play. Anyway, McNabb will be in Philly at least 6 more years so we know our investment will pay off. Really, it should be a great game. All the handmade signs around town say "TO's a Go".....It is crazy. We will see what happens. Good luck to you.

Princess Analise is the princess from Princess and the Pauper DVD. She got the dress for xmas and refuses to take it off. We had an interview for Pre-School this morning and she wanted to wear it. It is 3 degrees might I remind everyone......I don't know if staying home with her is going to be early retirement or and early death sentence.

Can't wait for Regis and Kelly-although Kelly makes me want to vomit. What-she has like 4 kids in a 2 year span and she looks better than ever. She is too cute though.

Ok- I really need to months to get my affairs in order-finishing the decorating, replacing things that are getting old....before the $$ runs out~

Have a super day! CastleGazer-did you know there is a website where men can go and input your due date and it will tell them which sports events they are likely to miss! You better hold that baby until at least Monday-mid afternoon. Good Luck.

PJ (love the dancing banana)

 

[hydster]

Ok so I'll bump your thread up yet again for you guys!! Tom and Julie are shirking their responsibility to this thread

Anyway those from the 5-04 cruise may remember when we did this to amuse ourselves....

What does this picture have to do with your upcoming cruise?

Now lets just hope it actually works LOL

Heidi

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

Hey there Hydster!!! Long time no see...love the picture...it brings back great memories of our last cruise...could it be a picture of a Mercedes Benz 450 because we have 450 days left until we are cruising the sunny caribbean again??? I love it!!! Do you think you'll be able to come up with 449 more pictures to amuse us for the next 15 months??? I am still bummed that you didn't enjoy the first cruise as much as the rest of us did...it couldn't have been the absense of because there was plenty of that to go around, it couldn't have been the lack of because there was plenty of that to go around, it couldn't have been the because there was plenty of that to go around, it couldn't be the lack of because there were plenty of laughs to go around, and it certaily couldn't have been the lack of because there was plenty of that to go around...so that just leaves one thing those kids not enjoying the clubs! Gosh darn those kids!!!!!! So here is the proposition: ask Grandma & Grandpa to watch the kids so you and Monkeyboy can enjoy a second honeymoon in the caribbean with the rest of us!!! Work on it!

 

[hydster]

Hey there Julie! Yes long time no see! Working part time sucks (in case you were wondering) and I haven't had a lot of time to keep up with the Dis!!! LOL about the 450..I figured you'd get it but I was just thinking about last year how freaking excited we were about this time and doing the pictures and such!!! I doubt I can keep it up for 449 more days but I'll try to do a few for you here and there just for old time's sake! I think hydster and monkeyboy are taking time off from cruising and are just going to do Cancun or something for awhile. That Disney cruise did us both in for awhile in a lot of ways! Being so sick and then our bratty kids with us and the wind and the sea sickness.... it just was not the experience we thought we'd have! I do know one thing our kids are banned to ONLY going to Disneyland from now on! The expensive nice trips are reserved just for the adults who can really enjoy them! LOL

Now since you still have 449 days left who knows...by then we MAY be over our cruising phobia and try again but that would be something not to be decided until a MUCH later date!

It would be AWESOME to meet up with you guys again without our 3 brats....hmmm.....it's a VERY SLIM possibility and I emphasize SLIM but maybe...if we win the lottery or something!! Looking at the prices I'd have to double emphasize SLIM!!!!!!!!!! It would be fun...maybe we need to do an adults weekend in VEGAS?? HUH HUH??? VEGAS??HUH???
LOL I'm still waiting for Tom to find my bra at MGM and bring it back to me!! He said he'd find it but he lied!

Well I'm off to get ready for work...I have 29 kindergarteners awaiting my arrival!!!
Take Care!
Hydster

 

[djjmitt]

We just made a reservation.

David, Jennifer, Jaret(6), Shari(3) & Alec(3)

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

David,

Welcome aboard to you and your family, join in the fun. I think that we are going to have a great time.

Tom

 

[castlegazer]

Had to pop in and give PhillyJen a little poke in the ribs:

Hey David - welcome!!!! My son will be 4 when we cruise. Your children are twins, I take it???

I am ready to pop with my second and just can't actually understand why I can't evict the girl from my tummy - she will be 15 months when we cruise. My husband and I are 33-34. We have not cruised DCL previously, but we have cruised before. These other lunatics have all cruised together before, well, except LSUtigger.

 

[Little Lady Lisa]

Welcome David, Yeah...a six year old boy. We will also be going on the cruise. I have an 8 year old daughter and a 5 1/2 year old son. My poor son has to hang out with 7 girls every weekend. Don't get me wrong they are all wonderful ... but it will be nice to have another boy around. We can't wait to set sail.

Where'd everyone go on this thread??? And you all wonder why we can't make it!

Congrats CG on the SB. I was routing for the Pats all the way. Sorry PJ, couldn't go with Philly after the whole TO crap, but congrats on the retirement!! Funny, JenLynn heads back to the working world and you decide to leave it.

Well football season is now over an I head into my off season slup.

Hey welcome to Dave!! You will have a blast with these guys! They are the best cruise mates.

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

I am here Bow Tie Joe, just spent a couple of days in the U.P (upper peninsula for those of you not familiar with Michigan), and I am back baby.

Maybe when we get down to less than a year this thing will get hoppin, right now the countdown to the Big O and Vero Beach is on the radar.

Tom

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Alright everyone we are coming up on just over 1 year to go, so we have to figure out a way to get this thing hopping. When we took our last cruise there was one thing that ended up getting people going, so I figured that what was good for the goose is good for the gander.

Lets Rock

I am sorry that it has come to this, but I need to thank Jason.

Tom

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

You mean I get nothing for that post, Geez what is up with you guys.

Tom

 

[Little Lady Lisa]

Geez...What about your Queen...Where's she at? Oh yeah, I better watch myself she might not show up for work tomorrow and I really need her. Your right...where is everyone, probably , like I've been and Julie too. Hope everyone is healthy and keeping warn.
