8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #15 /Life After the PC

[AndyR]

mine expires the 14th as well , so we can make Saturday the official day then cause you can use the AP the day it says it expires ...

So who else is in ?? Maybe on Sunday we could have like a breakfast at DTD or something before we head home .... but we will be there all day Friday as well (13th) ..

We'll try, but we just booked 10 days at Animal Kingdom for DSIL's wedding in Feb, along with WDW APs. Then DMIL reminds us that we're doing the family reunion at the Boardwalk in July! - running out of vacation/DVC/$$ here.

Well, we did my sons EAGLE PROJECT this weekend.. WOW it looks great. He thought it would take 3 days.. but it really was 1.5 days.. The kids and fathers worked their butts off. And , now at school, all the teachers are telling him what a great job he did.. and so fast too!!

Again.. I want to THANK who ever did the CD of pirate songs.. we listen to it non-stop!!!I really miss being there...

That is great about your ds's project!!!!

ditto about the cd! Dh brought it to work to put on his computer there.....

Finally got the phone call I had been waiting for. Now I know why it took so long to get it. They chose someone else and they accepted, so no job for me.

I honestly didn't expect the first job I interviewed for to be the one but it's still a let down that I didn't get it.

Back to the hunt.

Sorry to hear Monica! I hope something bigger & better is just on the horizen for you!!

Yes that was a great surprise to see you in our own town.. Here we spent 2 wks together never saw each other and a week later in a restaurant down the street. I am so bored as what to make for dinner too!! Made meatloaf tonight and my son said it was pretty good. I will try it after ww tonight..!!

As far as a comment that was left about a table.. I think somethings should be left in private. If you had trouble with someone on the cruise leave it on the cruise or between you 2 privatley. DONT BRING ME AND MY FAMILY into it please. You never met me or spoke to anyone in my family. By the way.. Subash said the same things to us as well...about your table... And i was told Rapheal had 3 yrs on the cruise ships.. perhaps not the MAGIC.. but he had 16 people to serve of all different likes and prefrences... So be careful to judge ALL!! There is 2 sides to every story.. and my family was not part of the story in the first place!! I would like to keep my fantastic memories of the cruise as they were.. not with some words on the dis boards...I thought these boards were for info and happy banter amoung friends and new friends.. not to make enemies.

Sorry .. I will get off my soap box now..lol

..

I don't understand this part at all.......but should I be worried that we also had Subash and Rapheal and we were a group of 16 at our table?????

I can handle it....do tell!!

We might be in - spring break starts for us on the 13th for a week. Our AP's are good until the end of May.

Monica.........with all the Crud around here.........I assumed you had the job!! I know there is something somewhere just waiting for you.

OK is it possible that I'm getting the Disney Crud at this late a date? I had a sore throat the first 2 days we were home, but I've been fine for almost a week. About 2 hours ago I started an achy-chill thing. I feel like carp.

Took me awhile before John passed the Crud to me. Just sleep your brains out like I did. I think we need to drink to that!!!



I know it sucks Monica, but there is something better out there.
Perhaps this job had a banned tiaras or frowned upon Patron drinkers or wouldn't let you hang pirate pictures in your workspace.

The nerve of some companies!!!

This was the 1st trip that dh and I ever set foot in one of the *adult* areas! LOL! We had a lot of fun. We would of had a different kind of *fun* if it was just the two of us. We definately wouldn't have stayed past any of the shows! Although I don't think dh ever stayed even that long this trip! LOL! I know one of the nights he had a migraine so, he picked up the kids and went to bed. The other times we were paged and he decided to pick up kids and let me *hang out*.

See............now you know why we were in the clubs last cruise with you. It is fun with life after children.

Now why does that not surprise me? Seriously, you ladies were all so fun and easy to talk to.

Mike............you were just like I visioned..........a real sweetie. I just really never got much of a chance to talk to Linda.

Sorry you didn't get the job. Hope an even better one comes along for you soon!

Linda and I had dinner at Palo that night. We sent the kids to dinner with Betsy, Kevin, and Debi. We sat on the verandah and finally drank the bottle of Asti that was in our room since embarkation day and watched the sunset.

Like Jill said, we couldn't turn away. It just kept getting more and more beautiful! These pictures don't do it justice.

I'm working on uploading pictures to the site, in between working on some projects for my rotation. These will get there eventually.

Wow!!!!!!!! These are winners!!!

Except when making Carpet Angels in the Atrium...

BTW..........who did take that picture?

This is better than cleaning my house anyday. I'm glad everyone made it home safely. It was truly a wonderful trip.

Just finished unpacking the last suitcase. It stood there for three days before I finally tackled it. It was too much like admitting that the trip was really over. I had hoped to meet more of you on the trip. Those we did meet really made the trip special.

Heather made it through the first week of classes at Central Connecticut with only minor technical problems so all is looking well on that front. She didn't have much time to prepare, she arrived home at 8 PM on Monday and had a 9:30 AM class on Tuesday. With both my girls so far away I really appreciate it when I have time to spend together with them. Only thing that would have made it better was if her sister has been able to make it. She is still pouting - it was the first time we were all away with her still at home.

Thankfully, it looks like Ike isn't going to make a stop here in Central Florida. Hope our luck continues to hold for the rest of the hurricane season.

The girls (+ two grandkids) are flying down for a long weekend Food & Wine/MNSSHP Trip late in October so I do have that to look forward too.

Oh well - the food booths at Food & Wine are not brunch at Palo but they will just have to do. It'll probably be at least three years before we visit Palo for brunch again - the memories will just have to carry us through. 2010 will be too soon for us. Our first cruise was 3 days, when we took the 4 day we knew 3 would never be enough again, then the 7 blew the 4 out of the running, now the 15 has made the 7 seem far too short. They have to move one of the ships to it's new home sometime in 2011 - where ever it will be. So we are hoping for a repo then.

OK, now that I've got the suitcases empty, I guess I better put them away. And, since no one is going to bring a menu to the table for dinner tonight I better put some thought into that too.

I just loved your DD Barbara. What a sweetie.

Monica....sorry to hear about the job. I really hope everything works out for you...


ETA: I love how my family randomly ended up in the back of a few of the pictures you guys are posting.

 

[Caropooh]

I knew it would happen. Alana just found her black dress that we had bought her for Formal nights! We looked all over the house for it before the cruise. She found it in a pile of stuff in the hallway outside her room. I know I looked there at least a zillion times!

 

[Stepht5]

See............now you know why we were in the clubs last cruise with you. It is fun with life after children.

No doubt it will be fun after teh children are grown but, I have a long way to go! LOL! Claire just turned 7....... So, I have at least 11 yrs! And by that time our oldest will be almost 40!
My goodness dh & I are old!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

I am unpacked finally! Everything is put away and all I have left is one load of laundry.

I managed to go thru all of my mail and pay the bills that were due and throw out the ads....which is good because tomorrow is a school day.

Of course..we still have to make sense of our pictures and video and I have to do a lesson plan but moving along.

On a carpy note..my friend who had a key to my house now can not find it..so I have to have all of the locks redone and my alarm company do a new alarm bob that was with her key....

And of course..there is still grocery shopping..good thing I had food in the freezer!

Andy

We'll be at AKL in 18 days!
And POR (so far) 4 months from tomorrow.

M, I'm glad to see that you used your time wisely! LOL!
I yakked and talked to my kids and their friends -- I actually was holding a number for someone other then myself.... First is was for Austyn, then when she ran by so quickly (it turned out that she got at the end of the line so, Cheri decided to stay with her there) I decided to go get Claire. There was no way that Claire could have waited for hrs in a line.......

I'm good at multi-tasking, how do you think I can Dis and keep a job...and a house...and a family...

You're a better Mom than me. If my kids wanted an autograph, they were going to wait in line.

Took me awhile before John passed the Crud to me. Just sleep your brains out like I did. I think we need to drink to that!!!

This is how I know I am sick. I'm home for the night, dealing with Cub Scout organizing, a hockey "media guide" for 2 teams, and a know-it-all PITA Cub parent who never shows up for planning, just hits "reply all" to the entire pack when she doesn't like something...and I don't want a glass of wine. Yup, I'm sick.

Girl, nobody likes a show off!

So, sorry about the key!!!!!

So, sorry about the key!!!!!

having it done today is not a show off! having it down within the hour I got home yesterday..now that would have been a show-off!

It's more like I have 40 Girl Scout Leaders coming to my home this weekend and then my troop meeting on Monday stress to get it all out of the way!

My fridge looks so nice with all of the magnets - thanks to everyone who did magnets...every time i eat...it makes me think of the cruise!

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

and Kristina starts with a ______?




ok now i'm going to yack... Are you sure this was my kid?

I've been trying for three days to get the sweetheart to vacuum the living room....

I'm so confused...
Are you saying your daughter's name is Devon and did someone say that is the girl I described and trying to find out her name/who her DIS family is?
I guess I have to go back and see what I missed since I'm so confused now......

Ohmy... isn't that how it always is?
(btw we found our DD's "unmentionables". I could have sworn I packed them- I swear I think she took them back out. I know exactly where I put them in the inside zipper pocket of her biggest luggage! But somehow they mysteriously ended up back in her "unmentionables' drawer in her room. hmm. I know I didn't just FORGET them- because they were new bought from the store and weren't ever like IN the drawer in the first place.. so I know I didn't forget them in the drawer and just imagine that I packed them. So weird.)

 

[JoiseyMom]

LOL! Yes he was. This was his first cruise not running around the ship naked. We had to get pics with some of his buddies onboard. AChip & Dale remembered him and had a ball one night in the atrium tossing him around and rolling on the floor with him. None of those pictures made it to the walls at Shutters.

OMG!! I saw you guys one nite at the Goofy party and watned to come up to you and ask if you were from the Dis..but I felt silly..so I didn't!

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

and Kristina starts with a ______?

Okay I'm still trying to use detective work to figure this all out. LOL
I haven't found the previous posts yet... and I even resorted to looking at our deck maps and all I see is you and your DH.. no kids listed.

*still so confused*

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

You must've missed a few because both Kristina (goofyforlife) & I mentioned that it was Devon. She's a sweetheart & so is Ruby! Taylor misses her Stack friends!

Okay so I found this one...
Okay so the girl with Taylor that night (and that I saw many times around the ship) is Devon... and that is Kristina's daughter named Devon? am I getting this right?

Well that would make sense.. because Ruby said she never asked her name but she THOUGHT her name might be Kathy or Kristina. Something starting with a K.

Maybe she just heard something said to Devon's MOM and remembered that name or saw it on her mom's lanyard or something. LOL

Thanks- that's sweet of you to say. I only wish my daughter had hung out with Devon and Taylor A LOT MORE... instead of that darn boy she became enamored with. ugh LOL

Ruby misses those girls and even said herself she wished she'd spent more time with them. LOL

Now if I could only match the face (in my mind) of Kristina with the name Kristina/Goofyforlife. I need to hurry and get photos printed for my album before I forget who is who! ack!

Shelly, Kristina aka Goofyforlife her dd is Devon the one you were asking about. Kristina also goes by K.

Hope this unconfuses you!

Well, at least they weren't left at HoJo's! Maybe the "unmentionables" and Alana's dress hung out together for the past couple weeks. Since we never got Alana and Ruby together, maybe they're clothes did!

The union announced today that they have enough in the strike fund to last 6 months.
