8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 11

[got2travel]

Since we missed it....

Since it's so small, the button says:

Happy Birthday, Tom!
I know it must be startling to realize how common
your name must be for this button to have been
produced, but just think how much more disconcerting
it would be if it also mentioned your brown hair and
your concern about losing it, your great athletic
potential, your subtle sense of humor, and your
intense drive to succeed.
Enjoy your chocolate cake!​

Dh and I also are '86 grads! Dh will just have turned 40, I will be just shy of my 40th as of cruise time. We should have a big ol' party to celebrate everyone's 40th b-days next year. Sounds like there are loads of us!

Task Force?

We will let the young whipper snappers form a "Task Force" , the rest of us mature people can plan a
"Shin Dig!"

Awww....

.... I missed a pirate sprint by just a few this morning! Oh well... I'll just have to settle for offerin' cordial congrats to ya' MaryAnn! THat's what I get fer nappin' this morning eh, as I should at 5:30AM eh? At any rate, good morning to everyone who skims this today!

Crash:

love the bunny pic!!!!

my fave Easter card: "you're no bunny 'til some bunny loves you"! ...a little Easter cheer for all!

Well...

... my spouse is back so we gotta load the car... get lunch ... then hit the road for home and discuss the possibility of getting our daughter in to see her doc today - on account her fever this morning and our travel scheduled for thursday/friday to Vegas.

I'll probably get on to hang with the nite shift tonight...

Adios for now.... you folks be good now... no rascaly conduct while I'm gone as I wouldn't wanna miss the fun! Here's the last thing we'll see as we pull out of the Hilton Garden Inn here in beautiful sunny Bakersfield....

The kids are clammorin' for a buffett and my spouse is resisting... we'll soon see who wins out 'eh? Anyone wanna venture any guesses which way it'll swing? <chuckles>

 

[sk8ingmom]

Fingers crossed for you!

And what's this about a puppy? Did you get one??? What breed???

Reprise:

 

[captaincrash]

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TOM!!!

Hope you like Star Wars!

And I'll let you in on a little secret, I got my inspiration to add images to some of my posts from you. I especially enjoy looking for yummy cakes! So all the thanks truly goes to you Crash! ​

Thanks ...

,.... my spouse is throwing a mini-fit... we gotta go...!

Task Force?

Add my DW...she turns 40 next June (I'll still be 39 ). She's hoping to have her PhD dissertation completed prior to sailing (she starts it this summer), and that was Option A reason for sailing. I offered her 40th B-day as Option B reason for sailing, should Option A not be fulfilled. Needless to say, the idea was rejected .

Boy, I feel down right old.

[Sarangel]

For those of you not in chat some of the conversations tonight were....

blah, blah, blah cake & mini meet we are all so jealous!

blah, blah, blah snow.

blah, blah, blah sports.

Working on Ketchup!

Lisa, you may not have been there for blah, blah, blah what do you do for a living?

How long has Crash had that new tag about the millions of pictures he takes on a cruise? Is that new or did I miss when he got it???

It's been there.
Haven't seen the Tag Fairy around for quite a while.

 

[Verandah Man]

Is there someone who was responsible for doing those when you were gone? That is just rediculous!

Well, I was TOLD I was going to get help a couple of weeks each quarter. We are now into the second quarter of 2007 and I haven't seen any help whatsoever so far. In the past six years our township had gone through a building boom, and it's getting too much for me to handle by myself. Maybe if I didn't take any vacation time, and worked the holidays we have off, then maybe I could keep all the readings up to date by myself. That ain't goin' to happen though.............

 

[justmestace]

So ... WHO YOU CALLIN' A YOUNGSTER???​

I got ya' beat!​

Class of '81 here!​

but the image above is NOT of my reunion....​

Frankly, I've never BEEN to one before....​

I WAS just about to ask which one was you!!

 

[Verandah Man]

For what it's worth... I'll let ya all in on a little secret. In the last couple of weeks with my computer dead and me sidelined off the DIS mostly ... I had MY birthday pass and I guess I had not posted the date on the DIS board yet. Oh well... I liked having had a quiet DIS birthday.... (snif).

At any rate... I did have a belated cake and singing this weekend with my BILs' family from Maui. Except my little 3 year old nephew who was sitting next to me laughably blew out my candles as soon as we were finished singin' happy birthday to Tom... everyone laughed all the harder with his beating me to blowing out the candles!

"Happy Be-lated Birthday Tom"​

What part of Ohio is she in Stace? I know the Cleveland area got dumped on with snow. Luckily, we only got a dusting, and it's gone now.

Being the really bad mother that I am, I'm not 100% positive. But she is 25, afterall....so I'm not supposed to know her business all the time (at least that's what she tells me...until she needs $$)
I want to say it's Dayton.

 

[justmestace]

LOL....my son asked me the same thing a few days ago...he really did think it would fade away.



But as for yours, isn't Jay your DH? I think I'd be offended if my DH (if I were married) would ask such a question.

Yes, Jay is the DH. The tat is located in such a spot as to make it not so easy for him to see unless he were following me out of the shower. And I really try to not have anyone see that wiggly side of me!

 

[justmestace]

Just wanted to pop in and say YAY!

I just had a lovely conversation with the HR manager of what seems to be a great org. in DC. It was a pre-screening interview. I think it went well. Fingers crossed and all....

In similar news.
My board officially hired my replacement last night. She starts April 30. I'll work part time for 2 weeks, then twiddle my thumbs for a month & a half before we can leave (imagine my post count...). DH's Change of Command is sched. for 6/29, so we are jumping on the poor man's Alaska cruise (state ferry) on 7/2. A real cruise would be great, but I can't check my SUV and my puppie on Princess or Norwegian.

Hi all! We arrived back from vacation Saturday evening. Spent Sunday (Easter) at MIL's, and yesterday getting things back in order.

It's been so long since I've posted.....I feel lost again. But I wanted to tell you all about our Magical time at Disney.

I'm so sorry we weren't able to make it to the DIS mini-meet. Hope you all had a great time. We were primarily down there for a wedding. So we had to plan around that and visiting with family, etc.

We went to Epcot on Tuesday, April 3rd. What a great day! Upon exiting our second ride of the day (Living with the Land), a CM asked us how many were in our party, and then handed us each a Dream Fastpass. Boy, did that make our day go smooth! We were spoiled after this. On Wednesday, April 4th, we went to Magic Kingdom. Even though it was an extremely busy day, I never felt the crowds were unmanagable. We took Fastpasses for each of the "big" attractions, and POC was the first ride we hit. We never waited in line longer than 30 min. all day, and managed to do everything we wanted to. In the late afternoon, we were headed over to redeem our Space Mountain FP, and a CM approached us and handed each of us a one-time use FP good for any ride. I'm telling you....the pixie dust was just flowing!

Our weather was perfect! Just an overall great trip. Hope I didn't miss too much around here. Hope everyone is well.

Happy Birthday to everyone who celebrated over the past couple of weeks!

Welcome back! Congrats on the unexpected booty!

Tom, you didn't send me any of your family's birthdays. Glad to hear that it was a good one.

Welcome back! Congrats on the unexpected booty!

I found some unexpected booty this morning.

Unfortunately it was when I caught a glimps of my profile in the full length mirror . . .
