5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 8

[DBCS]

You can leave the kids with me but why are you not leaving your car at the hotel and shuttling to the port??

Just joking about the kids..... I think .... it is a long drive.

We are spending a post night at another hotel in the area and just thought it would be easier to take off straight from the port.....

Oh and I also pack enough for a smalll third world country. So by driving to port I only have to load and unload at home As DD13 used to say.... 'Mommy loves the boy with the bell (Bellboy) and the ballet (valet) parking" And yes I do!!

The Phoenix concert is June 8th. I would have to literally get off the ship unpack our bags repack, and catch a flight... plus Stacy already said she dont like Madonna...but there was a certain Tigger Maria here who said she liked Madonna..how far is NYC from Atlantic City???

This certain Tigger Maria is right here. I've never been to a Madonna concert. What is the date for the Atlantic City concert? And no, it's not too far. About 3 hours from me. Don't forget, there's gambling there too. I love to gamble.

Hi Maria -- are you still up? Getting late for you isn't it?

 

[gptmba]

OK.... Just posting randomly to stay awake

So what is the thing with getting a TOP.... Why was I so happy?

Seems like I saw some other GS Moms... I am DD7's Brownie leader... Just finished cookies today!!! Did any of you do the cookies-on-hand sale this year?

I am my DD7s Brownie leader, too! Yes, we did on-hand sales (our CS was almost 2 months ago)

 

[BWVPam]

Maria -- how is your shopping going for the cruise. Do you have all the stuff you want?? I finally finished shopping for Dale this week, maybe just a couple of other things, Ashley is pretty much done, but I do need to get her a couple more pair of shorts. I went to a good sale at Foley's on Friday and picked up a couple of new things for me. Need to start on all the little stuff (dvd's, sunscreen, etc.)

 

[DBCS]

Regarding the dinner or being at the Radisson on May 26. We won't be able to go to JB's. Having to turn car in on Friday evening. We have a free day and I would hate to have to pay to keep the car to morning. Plus, it is with National and they are no longer giving you the taxi fare to the port. If they had, I would have done that. Hope I am not sounding too cheap, but we are spending a fortune and every little bit helps. To keep the car for an additional 14 hours, it would cost me over $40.

So anyway, we will be just hanging out at the Rad. Maybe some of us should put on a green ribbon or something so we can recognize everyone. Or, we should all examine our pictures on Mark and Mary's site to see who we recognize??? Any ideas

I don't think we will make it to dinner either. After so many hours on the road just having to lift my own drink at the pool may be a stretch

We have a DCL beach towel from the last cruise... I think the one for cc or dvc members perk. If I can wretch it away from DH I can bring it and we can hang it up... He plans to hang it on the wall in his office What are we still in college??? OOPS! Forgot... DH is back in school getting his MBA I am afraid I could walk in on a keg party anytime!

 

[BWVPam]

Hi Karen!!! You still there

 

[TiggerInNY]

Hey Pam, yes I'm still up. Don't know how cause I'm sooo tired. Maybe too tired. All our neighbors just left about 10:00, well that was almost 2 hours ago but I had 11 pages to read. As you can see, I was doing the "Virgil" way of posting.

How ya doing?

Too funny!!

I haven't decided if I am going to pack any beach towels yet or not. I did on the last cruise, but we had a balcony to leave the towls out to dry on. This time we are in an inside cabin , so I am afraid I will have a hard time getting them to dry out. Need to figure out a way to recognize us Texans -- hmm, Maybe a Dallas Cowboys baseball cap????

 

[gptmba]

Here it is...The drumroll please....


Does Anyone Really Know What Time it is?

Yeah, it's 5 o'clock somewhere!

 

[gptmba]

I found the perfect cruise series -

The Outlander Series - by Diana Gabaldon...6 books all about 800 pages...

Historical Fiction - basic premise - 1945 English post-war nurse gets pulled back in time through a Stonehenge type ring to 1740's Scotland...

I own them all; they are fabulous!

How ya doing?

Doing great -- can't go to sleep yet, want to wait till hubby gets home from work. I am just starting to feel overwhelmed at all the things that need to take place over the next 5 weeks. We have a dilemna with our dog. My MIL was supposed to keep him while we were gone, well, she ended up selling her house early and moving into the retirement village. She can have animals, but she has not yard, and she has hurt her back. She told us she doesn't think she can handle taking care of him. Mind you, he is only about 14 lbs. I hate to put dogs in kennals. I think he would go into shock.

My options are 1) send him home with my parents to Austin next weekend, but then we wouldn't get him back until 4th of July. That would be 2 months without our puppy or 2) leave him here in the house and pay our friends son to come over about 3 times a day to let him out and play with him. I am afraid he would be so lonely with us gone and locked up in the house.

I know my parents would love to have him, they love him to death, just don't know how the kids would react to him being gone for 2 months.

What should I do

AND A U-TOP

 

[BWVPam]

Never read any of those -- I like to read murder mysteries. I know, how morbid, but they intrigue me. I didn't like the last 2 Scarpetta books either.

 

[dzneprincess]

Where is she singing in Atlantic City?

Haha keep reading I thought about you! LOL The concert is July 16th at the boardwalk hall....whatcha think?

 

[dzneprincess]

This certain Tigger Maria is right here. I've never been to a Madonna concert. What is the date for the Atlantic City concert? And no, it's not too far. About 3 hours from me. Don't forget, there's gambling there too. I love to gamble.

Haha I see you found it! See I thought of you

 

[BWVPam]

Maybe I should just keep posting here by myself.

What should I do

Pam,
It will only be for a week right? Because Cahrley will be headed home after the creuie and yall will be hanging out at WDW? I say leave him at home...

Pam,
Do you read the Alex Cross books by James Patterson?

 

[DBCS]

I am my DD7s Brownie leader, too! Yes, we did on-hand sales (our CS was almost 2 months ago)

We need to let them e-mail... Shelby is convinced that there are only teens on this cruise... getting very jealous of DD13's ability to post...

Maybe we should start a 'Tag-a-longs' thread for the 9 and unders.... Probably be like every other toy... they will play/post for 15 mins and then lose interest!

 

[TiggerInNY]

Good luck. We only have a bird and I think my neighbor would watch him. That's one of the reasons we don't have a dog. When we go away, who would watch it? Wow!! You're parents would watch him for 2 months? That's pretty good. I would sway that way. But, the kennel won't kill him. He may like it playhing with other dogs and all. That seems like a hard decision for ya. Sorry, I don't think I was much help.

I think I may hit the hay right about now. I'm laying in bed typing this and getting sleepy. Sorry to leave you hangin' like this, but I can't seem to keep my eyes open anymore. I'll catch up with you tomorrow.
