You think I am not reading!!!I will be somewhat busy so go for the pirate.
DD is fixing up my snow white hair and I have lots of movies to do before I leave Saturday. John also invited people over for dinner tonight!! What was he thinking.
I know sometimes we can miss a post here & there. Besides you told me you wouldn't be around so I figured I had a 50 % chance.
I can't believe you guys did this last night...
Stephanie, please tell me that you have an ugly wart on your face that you cover up with an amazing cover-up or that you actually have wrinkles - scratch that - visible wrinkles or that your a super nice lady BECAUSE.....from the looks of these pictures........it would be SUPER EASY to hate you - not just hate you but THROW DARTS AT YOUR PICTURE TO SEE WHO GETS CLOSER TO YOUR EYES type of hate.
Not that I'm jealous or anything.
Seriously, please tell me that this blondie is your dd and not you?
NOTE TO GOD: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T LET THIS BE STEPH - and if it is - please don't let me get the misfortune to stand next to her - EVER!
Just kidding - you look amazing - HOWEVER, that being said - please don't stand next to me ever.
And she looks like her daddy -- they all do!!! 
Hi everyone! We are here! Our train trip was awesome and I am in my room at the Disneyland Hotel looking at the rides in California Adventure as we speak!
So, did we ever figure out how we would identify ourselves at DL park? I heard someone talking about going on the cruise while I was in the pool yesterday, but I didn't recognize her. BUT, I really started thinking about it and I only actually see pictures of a few of you...any advice? Thanks everyone!!!! Can't wait to see you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our family is well trained in the "Take what you can" routine, so just yell that at one of your kids. Anyone that is going with us will recognize you. 
Well lucky me woke up yesterday with the hugest case of Impetigo on my face ever!
I know it is stress related. I went to the Dr and got some antiobiotics and prescription strength antiobiotic cream but it was worse this morning.
Now not only do I have a scarred nose from the skin cancer surgery but now an hideous growth between my nose and upper lip. Lets anyone think I am exagerating- I'M NOT!!
I won't care, I promise. I am just glad you will be on the ship so I meet you in person.
Nicole glad you made it here
If, by chance (like this group leaves anthing to chance), you happen to see the following view.......
then congratulations are in order, because you are lying on your back in the Atruim of the Magic having just done a carpet angel

WHEW!
Double Whew - I can rest easy now.
And I can Also say that Iher hair - I wish I had the guts to go that short. It does look awesome on her. I'm jealous.
She does look great in short hair -- which is really good because she has her grandmothers fine, thin yucky hair! If it grows to her shoulders it starts looking flyaway and awful. That's right - I remember now. I got the pirate costumes almost packed but really, I don't know why I am resisting this packing. I was reading an article at the salon today - it was my turn to try and look pretty - didn't work!maybe I'll just pick up shirts on the way. I mean - after all, I'm going to be buying souvenirs - may as well use them.
I learned from that experience - I am a Leo and we are rather proud, private people, but I learned that you can always reach out and try and console others. Since then, I have made a conscious effort to stay connected with friends and with our group of friends.
I wish I had learned before it was too late. But, now in memory of Loretta, I make an effort to do what Pam did for me - reach out and console - even if it means just a
Sorry - didn't mean to be a downer just wanted others to know - you can always take a lesson out of something. BTW, my godson is now 3 yrs old and I see him on a regular basis. Calls me Nina too.
Oh we must be getting close to departure--my TA just said she'd be mailing my docs tomorrow.
WHY has she been holding on to them????
Yippeee! last day for us too

Hey - totally understand that. In Sep 06 - I was on the 11 Night Wonder. Got a message via my DD who was at home that my BFF from High School ( I was also the godmother to her then 18 month old) had started to get sick. She had had a seizure at end of July, some more in the beginning of Aug. Then on Aug 25, I had gallbladder surgery. She called beginning of Sep asking me to take her to the docs but as I was getting ready to leave 3 days later - I hadn't even packed yetscratchin.......seems to be a reoccurring thing) so I begged off saying - "I'll try and stop by before I leave."
Well, as luck would have it - I DID NOT stop by, I packed loaded my DH, myself and my DS (it was celebration trip for him) onto the Magic. At St. Lucia, I was notified that she was VERY sick - almost into coma. I told DD who had notified DS who had notified me that her DH had called our house. I forgot, we left and in Antigua, right in the middle of the terminal, as we were shopping, DH went to the ship to drop off souvenirs and make room for more. Well, DD call DS who chased DH down who had to come and tell me in the terminal in Barbados that Loretta had passed that morning.
I was heartsick. It also happened to be my dad's birthday. I totally forgot and when I called mom - I had to pretend that I was calling for his birthday. I was sick, went back to the Wonder, asked Guest Services about getting off the ship. They told me to go and wait in room - someone would get back to me, they never did, I became aware of it as we left the port. I was soooo sick - I was also in shock and couldn't function.
I did however, make an awesome friend from this - I think it was Loretta's way of looking out for me - the next day one of my tablemates - we were at a table of 14 noticed that there was something wrong with me - she asked me and I am usually a very private person about things like this - I prefer to suffer in silence but for some strange reason, the dam burst and I spilled. Pam, DisneySweetie - almost a total stranger at that time, reached out and hugged me and tried to console me - almost a total stranger. So for that I am eternally grateful and consider her a good friend.
I learned from that experience - I am a Leo and we are rather proud, private people, but I learned that you can always reach out and try and console others. Since then, I have made a conscious effort to stay connected with friends and with our group of friends.

Great - he's not upset but now I have to sit here and pretend interest in the fact that 2 professional poker players wanted to "stake" DH in the big tournament. Guess when?
While we are gone.
Shucks honey - that's too bad. But don't they know you already give 1/2 your earnings out? If you give them their share and then you give me mine - what does that leave you with?
OK - so I'm greedy - I don't like to share.
Can you really blame a girl?
I LOVED the *pretend* interest part! LOL! I've done that many times!
