My birthday is on Sept. 15th....maybe we'll do something the first night...cake anyone? 
That would have paid off half of what we still owe on the cruise 
I got a little panicky with that one. I guess it will be a early Christmas present to ourselves. I wonder if I should save the old ones and wrap those for under the tree?
Hi guys! I haven't been around in a while, and I'm reading to catch up
I like the BF deal with the gift card. I don't know if I want to wait until then or not. I noticed that Thanksgiving is coming too fast, and like an idiot, I booked a road trip to Disneyland for the first week in December. The days following up to Thanksgiving and right after, I am doing a holiday shop at DD school. So next week is my only time-sorry thinking out loud
Definately have to get a name for ourselves, in case some of us (meaning me), might actually get a crafty thought in my head and create something!. My family is willing to let me try again after 16 years! I will definately need faith, trust and pixie dust that night!
Hi allHi guys! I haven't been around in a while, and I'm reading to catch up
Deb, have a WONDERFUL time
Sure hope you post some pics for us
Kathe
I understand that for sure! Sometimes I can't even remember to stop at the mailbox in front of my house.
Kathe, I don't think that's cheating.
Karen, I'm all for a grown up bday party! Although, it's not my bday... Oh well, I'll be the proxy for my daughter.
Since you are a deal person like me (and for any of the rest of you out there) here's an example of why I check Slickdeals fairly regularly. Our washer and dryer are terrible, the washer eats clothes and the dryer's thermostat has never been right. Someone posted a Sears ad that had a front loading Samsung washer/dryer set tomorrow night for $899. People were getting Lowe's to price match. I like Lowe's, we buy just about everything for the house there, so I printed the stuff out and took it down there. They sell the washer for $798 and the dryer for $748. They price matched it, plus an extra 10% and I got the whole set for $810 plus tax. They DID look at me like I was nuts when I first showed them the ad, though. Now if I could just figure out where I'm coming up with that money...
Deb, can't wait to see your pictures! Please post about your day when you get a chance.
Here's us....me, DH John, DS John aka The Kid.
I had a scone, fruit, quiche, bacon, turkey croquet, hash brown potatoes and vanilla cake with coconut cream frosting.
Since I am a devot member of the Champagne Girls, the bubbly was flowing. We drank the glass that was included and then ordered a bottle of Korbel Brut.
When they brought out desert, they sang happy birthday to me because they overheard us doing a cheers and wishing me happy birthday....so they sang and it was a complete surprise. I wished to win lotto! Ha ha ha!
All in all, it was a great day and a wonderful kick off for my birthday....which is on Tuesday.
Glad you had a great celebration kick-off 
I love birthday weeks
I can't believe we keep doing this. That makes twice now.....yesterday and today. So funny!
I talked to John and he says he would be happy to work on some graphics when we pick a name.
John and I will be celebrating too. It will be our 19th anniversary on Sept. 29th. It's close enough. We'll have cake on the last night with the birthday people.
Promenades sounds good for our meet. Right after late dinner??? Is that correct??? On our first night??? We'll be there.
How about.....Partying Pirates Play on the Magic.
We'll think of some more.
Also thinking of "Celebrating Scoundrels" or "Celebrating Swashbucklers" -- can you tell I'm into alliteration? LOL. Come on, all you creative people... we can do this!Hi Kirsten's Mommy! Cool, another celebration. I'm starting to think we need to go with a group name like "The Birthday Buccaneers" or "The Celebrating Swashbucklers."
