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

[tinksdad]

I wander along the outside decks early in the morning waiting on the sun to rise and just watch all the CM activities going on. ( swabbing the deck, then squeegying it.)
Late at night sometimes folks look at you funny.Wandering around in your PJ's

Only if their not Disney themed.........

Was able to log in and make ressies for the 2 day rentals on CC for the cheaper price. It came out to be $15 for the 2 of us. We will share with Dominique on the rafts

OK, somebody is going to have to post what a "croc" looks like. My nieces would say that I'm out of touch, but you have to understand, I have two boys, not girls....I probably know what you're talking about, just don't know the NAME of them...

DS wanted crocs a few weeks ago, since the boys are wearing them to school just as much as the girls. He needed something for the cruise anyway, so got him some. He picked out black ones.

It's going to be a beautiful day here in Central Illinois, with highs in the upper 70's. Poor DH went to ride his motorcycle to work this morning only to find a dead battery from sitting in the garage all winter. I told him he'd better get it charged up tonight. It's supposed to be in the lower 80's the next 2 days, and we're both off of work. Time to head out on the highway, looking for adventure on the Goldwing! Especially since DD will be visiting and can keep DS company. DH is going to have surgery on his arm in one week, then may miss up to a week of work depending on if the metal sliver is embedded in muscle or just under the skin. More reason to go 'biking' the next couple of days.

The only thing that AI inspired me to do was to dig out my 'Best of Queen' cd to listen to on the way to work with the volume cranked up and the windows open. I do like Elliot's voice, but he has no personality. I don't vote for anyone since I don't watch the show until the next morning.

Have him look into a Battery Tender, it hooks to the Battery and monitors it when the Bike is not in use, keeps the battery charged if need, no more dead batteries and it extends the life of the battery!!!

Ray or Jim,

What do you think the smallest prime rib that I can buy? All of this talk of prime rib again has got me wanting to try one. But, Bruce & I will be the only ones eating it. The girls will eat it but they eat like birds. Is it worth doing just for the 2 of us?

Thanks,
Ang

Will do, especially since it sits in the garage all winter. DS is not a year-round bike rider. He prefers the heated leather seats in the Regal during the winter, but I told him with gas prices going up the way they are he can learn to put on the Carharts and bike as long as there isn't snow on the ground.

It looks like we're going to have an expensive drive to FL. I just saw that gas is at $2.69 at the cheap place!

Another reason I wish I had a sister.....

Irene, I do't have one either. A sister I mean...four older brothers, no sisters.

I like to wander after the clubs are closed and the kids are all back in bed or tucked snuggly in their hallways. Then it is really nice. I got some videos of the atrium 10 day Christmas with no one in them, just the Christmas decorations. Nice.

I could do that. Sounds like fun. Maybe we should pick a night and all meet out on a deck and enjoy the moonlight. Who knows how to look up and see if it's going to be a full moon or not? The REAL moon that is!!

I'm kicking myself. Monday night gas was $2.52 at Wal*mart. But I had just over a 1/4 of a tank, and was in a hurry, so didn't stop. Tuesday morning it was up to $2.85!!!!!!!

You mean I could wander around in my PJ's? How cool is that. Note to self: get new jammies.

Holidays price gouging.

It's in the $2.80+ range here, with the news showing places in downtown going over $3.

Nick and I just studied the moon in school.

Here's one of the websites to look it up....not looking good for our cruise if it's a full moon you're looking for. But then again, the full moon brings out the kooks....oh...that would be US!!!

Angie - I'm not Jim or Ray, but I can answer that for ya. YES!!! Absolutely get it for the 2 of you. If you get it from the butcher, just tell him that you're 2 adults and 2 small kids. Probably be just 1 rib but oh, so yummy. Hope that helps.

Looks like there won't be ANY moon until the later part of the cruise. Thanks for that website. Very cool and lucky for us that Nick just studied this. Tanks a lot.

Just missed a U-TOP!!! Darn it..

Well, there will BE a moon....we just won't be able to SEE it!!

Just hope Mr. Scuba doesn't decide to wear his lime green thong on deck and bring his OWN moon!!!
