I have to laugh at this...there was a thread on the main boards asking why we would take duct tape on a cruise and I had to SIT ON MY HANDS to keep from saying "It makes a good babysitter!"
I just knew people would not understand my sense of humor.
Hi Everyone! Well, I made it home - it only took about twice as long as normal. DH is still out on the road. It is a mess out there. Depending on the forecast you listen to, we are going to get anywhere from 3" to 12" of snow tonight. They all agree that there will be high winds tomorrow morning blowing it all around.
Just a note: The main reason I was annoyed about DH being gone for V-Day is because he actually doesn't do much of anything for it at all ... so if he isn't here, I won't even get the "happy valentine's day" said in the morning and maybe get a card. I don't think we have ever gone out to eat that day and I have only received flowers a couple of times (the main one being the year he forgot my birthday in January!) It isn't a huge deal, but I feel like I am very reasonable and don't ask for much - just that he remember and say something nice that day!Actually, I was hoping he would cook dinner that night since I am going to be stuck with going to the school and running DS8's classroom party! I really hate that stuff (I'm not all that good with large groups of kids - I can cope with just a few, but 20 at a time just scares me!)

I do always tell him no flowers since they inflate the price so much, but he usually doesn't listen. I will also get him a card & his favorite candy too so it goes both ways. We also get chocolates & usually a little something for the kids & we bake cookies or cupcakes. The Saturday before DH always takes DD on a date night to the Father/Daughter dance & dinner. We make it a special time for all of us. 
Only pooh pooh was the late diningI dislike eating late VERY much!
Chrissie
s (meaning booked within last two months) signing up have either been early dining or wait listed for late. Can you believe I had to go answer the door!!!!
Congrats Kristina!!!
Dr Rey and his powerful spandex Shapewear line ...
DOes this stuff really work - super spandex - or is it just a gimmick. Cuz I suspect if it DOES work my spouse will be thinking of getting some fer ME fer V-Day.
Not the push up model, mind you...
I don't remember who was asking about pictures of our new puppy but here are a couple of photos of Raleigh.
With all the Valentine's Day talk I thought I would post this funny joke again for any that might've missed it last year:
What Day is Today?
Over breakfast one morning, a woman said to her husband, "I'll bet you don't know what day this is."
"Of course I do," he answered as if he was offended, and left for the office.
At 10:00 a.m., the doorbell rang and when the woman opened the door, she was handed a box of a dozen long stemmed red roses. At 1:00 p.m., a foil-wrapped, two-pound box of her favorite chocolates was delivered. Later, a boutique delivered a beautiful designer dress.
The woman couldn't wait for her husband to come home.
"First the flowers, then the chocolates and then the dress!" she exclaimed.
"I've never had a more wonderful Groundhog Day in my life!
ohhh look a
Congrats K!
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. I got my filght to LAX, non-stop for $124.00. 
Ok, let me tell you my strange story...
I have never, never, never been able to post from work. I can log on but can't post. Probably for the best, I surely would have been fired by now. Anyway, for some reason (my boss left for a three week vacation ?) I tried to log on today & I was able to post.
After two posts, I got a PM from Tom letting me know SW opened their fares.
I posted to thank Tom, & the post was all messed up when I looked at it. I edited the post & tried to post another reply. I could not post another thing, just like always... cue the twilight zone music.
I have 400 hours at the moment (collect 22.4hrs/month). I have a bunch of days scheduled off for the next 4-5 months just to burn time. I start loosing at 437hrs.
(where is he anyway....?)
Just thought I'd pop in and say hello.
My DH Rick and I will be cruising with you all in August. I did say hello on the last thread, but it was so established I got lost in all the discussions that had already taken place. We're flying over from the UK on 15th and staying at the Disneyland Hotel.
We've done quite a few disney cruises - we sailed with some of you in September 2006 on the 11 day and most recently in October with a great bunch of Dissers, some of which are also on this trip.
Can't wait to be sailing through the canal. We've made our decisions on excursions and I've signed on to the website, so I think we're all set until the 90 day point. We're on deck 6 but no room number yet.
Anyone heard anything about Yellow Fever Vaccinations - are they required by DCL?
Anyway...hope to join in with the chatter over the remaining 7 months.
What a CUTEpuppy!!!!!
Our booking story: We were on the fence about going..so asked our TA to see if she could get us a room...any room..we weren't picky! Emailed Brendan with in minutes of the ressies opened up and we were in! With a room assignment as well! Only pooh pooh was the late dining
OMG I met Idina Menzel tday!!!!!!!!!!!! She was sooooo nice!
