any November 15th eastern 7 ngt cruisers out there?

[lbgraves]

Sherry so glad that you are doing the doc dance with us now!!!

Linda (((HUGS))) that must have been so stressful for you today. Was there no idea that it was happening? Have you known about it very long? Now you can focus on the cruise!!!

Gosh I feel the stress pressing in now. I have 2 weeks to get us all packed & ready to leave. Is anyone else having trouble sleeping? I haven't been able to get to sleep for a couple weeks now. There is so much that I need to do before we leave.

 

[Jo-Anne]

Linda - hope your weekend gives you time to decompress from the rotten week...take it easy and unwind! Yeah Sherry for getting the docs! Steve & Michelle did yours arrive yet? Michelle - Katie is about a size 11.5 or 12 right now, and the white sandals she's wearing are a 10! How could I not notice that her heel sticks out the back!! Bad Mom! I'm sure we'll be able to get something on the Friday. Jo

oh ya, just saw on another post that the show we were all hoping to see...Golden Mickeys...will premiere on Dec 11 Magic. So sad we won't be seeing it as it sounds great. Past cruisers - how are the other shows?

 

[lbgraves]

I think that I saw that last week. Just another reason to rebook for next year!!!

Gosh I am bouncing off the walls here tonight. I have started putting up a stick on border in our room & of course since DH is sleeping right now I can't work on it. LOL! It is all seperate pieces so I have to have time to set it out how I like it for each section. Waiting for the clothes to dry a bit more & then will try to get some sleep. I forgot that DS's soccer uniform is in there.

Got our doc's when we've returned this evening. No upgrades here.

Golden Mickey not until 12/11, look at it this way, for those who has yet to sail on the Magic's 7 nighter, catching the final Morty's might be nice. Furthermore, the delay in the premier of Golden Mickey's provides us with another reason to sail again (or at least something to look forward to on our future DCL sailing).

 

[mkauffman]

No docs here! I think I'm officially the last one.

Linda, I'm so sorry to hear your news. What a nasty thing to happen! At least you have vacation to look forward to! Not all is lost.

Josh had his second district playoff game today...they won 2-1. These games are going to give me a stress attack! Now we move on and play again on Tuesday. These games are do or die, so if we lose, it's over for the season. Wish us luck!

I picked up swimtrunks from my SIL's house today (she has a pool and we spend most of the summer over there, so we always end up leaving our pool stuff at her house). I'm really ready to pack now! That will be my evening's plan...pack, pack, pack!

Ok, it's Saturday night and I should have better things to do than check these boards.

Good morning!!

I'm hoping I go back to work tomorrow and get an email from my TA. This may be the only time I've looked forward to a Monday.

It's supposed to rain here today through Tuesday, although it hasn't started yet. One of my breakers blew and I have to run to Home Depot to get a new one (the washer is hooked up to it or else I wouldn't do it today!). Yuck. That's not how I wanted to spend my Sunday. Garrett has a game at 4:00 this afternoon so I must get going soon.

Dana, I'm glad you had a successful shopping trip and thanks for the well wishes!

Have a great day everyone! I'll check back later.

How did you get an extra hours' sleep with kids?!?!? DD was up at 6 so really 5. I am getting ready to take a nap since she is sleeping now. DH took DS to the local firehouse for their fire safety fest. They have hotdogs, soda, ice cream and can ride on the fire truck.

I realized that I have to get DD some black tights since hers were too stretched out to stay up at the wedding. LOL! They fell down to her ankles just like the diaper. I taped that up but not the tights. Anyhow, I am going to go thru the kid's clothes this week and pull out some of what we will use. DS has some Disney.com PJs that he doesn't know about yet. I will pack them for him to wear on the cruise.

Oh, is anyone going on an excursion in St Thomas? DH & I got to talk about this trip & I told him that I didn't care to go thru the tender with the kids but if he wanted to do an excursion I wouldn't have a problem on my own for a few hours. He hasn't looked into them yet. He would probably be interested in a snorkeling trip or the sailing thing. I might be able to talk him into something more if someone in the group is going too.

 

[Tonydana]

lisa - we are not doing any excursions - we checked into doing one on st. maarten and when i called to book it they said that i could not bring the stroller on the bus.. no way i am carrying stephen around, to heavy..

luckily stephen is a good sleeper, he went to bed at 8 last night and got up at 7 this morning.. he usually gets up at 7 anyways... i think he must be getting teeth or something though - he slept for an hour this morning and went down for a nap at 12:30 and is still sleeping... unfortunately - i have no energy to do much of anything.. ugh, always works that way..

I do my best work around the house first thing in the morning. If I let it go too long in the day, forget about it! I often do dishes or laundry or something like that before I leave for work in the morning. As the day goes on, I get lazier and lazier.

We're not doing anything in St. Thomas, either. We are doing the Golden Eagle Catamaran in St. Maarten. We figured we'd figure out St. Thomas as we get there. I would prefer just to lounge around on a beach!

Michelle

 

[lbgraves]

Dana,

The stroller thing is the reason we aren't doing any excursions either...that and the cost and chance that their attention span just wont cut it. Oh well, there's always next time right?

Maybe we can plan to get the kids together at the pool or something else on the port days...if I can get DS out of the club. DH would be going on his own to St Thomas & he isn't a beach guy, at least without the kids to entertain him. LOL! Maybe he can do something at CC like the banana boat ride or the parasailing?

 

[lbgraves]

LOL for the day! I just got an email notice for Jo posting to this thread on 10/7/03. If they are just sending them all out...watch out! Our boxes are going to be filling up tonight. LOL!

 

[nedleycan]

Yeah! I can't wait! I need this break so much.

We closed our cottage today (it is summer access only) and we went to a lobster roast on the lake on Saturday night... stayed up until 2:30 a.m.... in-laws had the kids overnight. My goodness, I am soooo tired!

Jo, I have to get Meghan some sandals too. I just checked and her dressy sandals that she usually wears are a size 10.5, and she was measured a couple of weeks ago at 12.5.... bad mom!!!! I am quite sure that we will still be able to find some, somewhere. I am going to check in Vegas, otherwise, I will bite the bullet and go to Panda and other fancy shoe stores, as I know that they always have dressy shoes in many colours. We also have an outlet shoe store out by me, just off the QEW around Erin Mills Pkwy. I think they will have something. I'll let you know.

Glad that more of you are getting your docs.

 

[kimszath]

Hey y'all! It's getting so close!!!!!!! Final big shopping trip to OK City yesterday was a pretty good one, though I didn't have enough time to do all I wanted. LISA---I did find a jacket for Luke--just perfect! It's a Class Club jacket from Dillard's and goes with his pants just perfectly! I went ahead and got it in a size 6, which ought to fit him through next year.

Also, I found a really nice "little black dress" for the semi-formal night. It's not sexy, but definitely classy--probably be 5 more like it on board, but hey--it's really pretty! I had been through the entire formalwear department with no luck (well, okay... I found a gorgeous little black sequined number for $230, but it didn't fit me perfectly, and I'm NOT spending full retail for something I'd have to take in!) The one I did get was a Liz Claiborne, and fit me like it was made for me. Very nice. I still gotta get SHOES!!! Debating about pantyhose.. have read so many threads about NOT wearing them. Then found a pretty Tropical dress on the clearance rack today--only $14 down from $79... already had two nice dresses from Hilo Hattie's, but couldn't pass up the bargain. Oh well... I'll have a night to wear it, I'm sure!!! Pretty casual, but really pretty, and a STEAL!

Oh... the good news and the bad news... when you lose 50 pounds, you definitely lose some in the BOOBS.... guess mine aren't big enough to do this anymore --->

(Sorry, couldn't resist!) It was a good excuse to invest in 4 new Victoria's Secret bras, though!!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

LOL, Kim!!! Hey, when you stop nursing you really lose it there too. Sounds like you had a really nice shopping trip today! Great job!!! So you DON'T need the suit? Just want to make sure before I mess up because of a misunderstanding.

I might be going on DS's fieldtrip to the library tomorrow morning so pulling the kid's clothes out will have to wait a day. I did get the border finished in our room though. It was all self stick flowers & ribbon connectors & I had to pretty much design it myself. It matches the comforter really well.

 

[nedleycan]

hahaha Kim! I definitely think you deserve to visit Victoria's Secret!

Good job on the shopping too! I wish I could find a tropical dress. Oh well, I do have an okay dress, if it becomes necessary.

 

[mcampbell_22]

Kim, crack me up about the "southern pull" of our chests. Thank goodness for underwire that pulls everything up and puts it where it used to be naturally. DH still doesn't quite believe that weight loss and nursing both kids can result in having smaller chest than when we met 20 years ago! The incredible shrinking chest! LOL

I'm finding it hard to wait now. With 99% of the packing done and docs here and filled out I don't know what to do with myself. How am I doing to make it through the next 3 weeks with nothing to do but wait!!! Today is the last of my Ebay auctions I'll have running before the cruise, so I won't even have that to occupy me. UGH, maybe I'll just clean the house from top to bottom.

 

[mkauffman]

Kim, mine still feel like they're big enough...I'll be happy to lend you some!

My entire group FINALLY got our docs today!!! Yeah! Now I have to go deliver them tonight.
