8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 9

[O'BWV]

Sad reality hit today

Visiting with my family today to celebrate my nephew's girlfriend's birthday. We started talking about our next family reunion. Our reunions are a big deal with over 120 people in attendance (I know that probably freaks out Enna and the others in the WPP). It's my dad's side of the family and my grandma had 8 kids, hence the big reunions. The next one falls to my dad's clan to plan, we rotate around each time.

We have them ever other year over the Labor Day weekend....can you see where this is going? Well, the last reunion was 2006, so guess when the next one is?

I totally forgot about the reunion when planning this TOAL. In addition to myself and my son, my parents are booked too! So now, either I miss the reunion or I cancel the cruise. It just makes me sick. I don't want to do either.

My family is great. I have the ABNORMAL family in which parents are still married, sibblings don't hate each other, no thieves, drug dealers, murderers etc. Even within the extended family, every gets along. In the 20+ years of having these reunions we've never had any fights or cops called (except for being to loud at night).

But my new family here is great too. And the one cruise I've always wanted to take has been TPC. I suppose I could switch to the May Repo, but then I wouldn't cruise with all of you.

I've got plenty of time to make a decsion so I'm not going to do anything right now. I realy don't want to cancel the TOAL. I have a feeling my parents will probably cancel though.

UGH!!!! I can't even think about it anymore right now.

Oh Monica what a pickle . Of course we'd say choose the TOAL, choose the TOAL, but that wouldn't be fair of us. (But choose the TOAL). Could they possibly be convinced to postpone it by one little weekend. One eentsy weentsy weekend?

Rule #2 - no changing bracelets that have our names and room numbers written on the inside to help the Designated Walkers get us back to our rooms

Hey, apparently there need to be additional DW volunteers! I hope you don't mind if this one takes part in the libations

I see the flu is widespread here in Jersey, DD and I had our flu shots in October, Hazel won't get the flu shot, she hates needles of anykind. I get the flu shot at work for free, so I take advantage of it. With all the houses I go in and out of everyday, I do need to have the shot every year. DD needs to get one every year as well due to medical conditions.[/CENTER]

Thank goodness for the flu mist for kids!!!!

yeah Enna

That IS very cool. Where was it taken at, or from? In other words, where were you standing?

 

[geffric]

Hey....they moved our smilies around again....

I noticed too..

Lorri - I know I asked for them, but you're killing me with the recipes!

Now that the pirate is out of the way. Redwood creek is a very large play area that resembles one of Ca National parks. It has rope bridges, slides, rock climbing for the kids, tire swing, whose you spirt cave and a show with Koda, Rut and Tute. My kids love spending at least an hour here running around. Map below.

And it's the big rope bridge that does in old ladie's knees.

Putting my thinking cap on here - what about moving the reunion up to Memorial Day Weekend? I'm sure most would understand that the TOAL is probably just that - once in a lifetime - and would be willing to accomodate it.

Well as long as we are talking dice...My DH kids me about bringing his little portable craps table onboard with us and starting an underground DIS casino! I told him talk like that would very likely get me banned!

Mary there is a secret deck on deck 7 that would probably would work for just this purpose!

Oh, Monica....what a tough decision.

Since your part of the family is doing the planning, can they announce a date change NOW, so you can possibly do both? Maybe send everyone a "save this date for 2008" postcard announcing the alternate date so everyone has time to plan accordingly? I know it's a slight change in tradition, but it's the only thought I had to help you have your cake & eat it too.

 

[O'BWV]

Yes, I do play! Let me know if I need to pack my dice

Yes please Paula.....pack your dice and let's BUNCO!

This is a DL and it is Mickey clinbing the Matterhorn..

 

[justmestace]

I understand what you are going through. My DW has a user name that I set up for her (MajorMinnie) but she has yet to use it. Maybe we can them both talking to each other!

My DH has a name and posted ONCE. Only once.

 

[Enna]

As much as it will hold...............

Mark

Ok. I'll be sure to use a big glass, then.

 

[O'BWV]

Nope...........I can only RESIST so much............


Mark

Well you have held out for quite a while now...............just don't be too bad or it's back to the Wench's Dawg House with ya!

 

[Diznyfan68]

The recipe doesn't say how much Bailey's I should put in my glass while I'm cooking. Any suggestions, anyone?

As much as it will hold...............

Mark

Refill as needed.

that's wy I haven't got one for DH.. he'd never post..

 

[Diznyfan68]

Lorri - I know I asked for them, but you're killing me with the recipes!

Just keep in mind they are from the Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2007 cook book!

 

[Enna]

And it's the big rope bridge that does in old ladie's knees.

Note to self:


Send Mr. Enna & the Enna-Lets into this one alone. Claim to "feel a blister coming on" if need be, or a pressing need to go to the Tiki Room alone.



Thanks for the warning!
