Safe travels, Jenni!! We'll see you in Pt. Canaveral!!!

 

[alikat99]

Awwww, Amy, that's so sweet! I think the Emily's will get along just fine. I showed Emily the photo you posted with the Shirley Temple in it. She says "ooooh, I want one of those!" Those waiters better be ready!

Oh yeah, we'll have to get pictures of the girls and their Shirley Temples!!!

Well, let's see - my Idol recap: Phil & Jordin were the best. Melinda great as usual, but I am really surprised by Phil this week. Poor Sanjaya. Mark came in, saw the end where he was standing there, and he said "What in the world is that?!!?" So thanks to the DVR, I backed it up so he could see that performance. Mark said "That boy needs to go to the house."

Ok, I have watched AI and have to agree with you. Phil and Jordin were the BEST!!! Phil was in his element with the country this week!!!

Phil got one of the three phone line votes from my house last night Taylor voted for Jordin and Blake.

AMY if you can get this ENTIRE cruise scrapped in ONE WEEKEND I still have a couple finalizing things to do to finish our Novermber 2005 cruise but i haven't scrapped in a while, i intend on picking right back up when i get home for sure! i hope to get more unique photos this time, last cruise I did the whole ship thing, standard poses so any must-have photo ideas please share!

i'm still trying to blow the cobwebs out of my brain here this morning.............was making coffee and thinking about Cove cafe

 

[alikat99]

Well, I said that I'd like to get it done, but we'll see if it actually happens. I'm a slow scrapper, AND, like you, I haven't scrapped in a while. Things have just been too busy around here (plus I need to organize my desk ).

Good morning everyone!

Safe travel wishes to those leaving soon. 48 hours to go for us. Not that I'm counting or anything.

Corryn, yes, it's a dwarves bowl. They're on the bottom, holding up the actual bowl. That was a Disney shopping special last year. Figured it was a great time to bring it out, since Emily wanted Snow White stuff. I put one of my Snow White snow globes in the center of the table too, to add to her theme.

You know how the best way is to get the fridge & freezer clean before you leave? Let the power go out for 2 days. Thankfully it's finally fixed, and stayed on all night, so we're good to go I hope. I was able to get the door signs printed & laminated last night while Idol was on, so that's done. Woo hoo! We just have a few more things to throw in the luggage after we use them on Friday morning, and we'll be set. I still have that nagging feeling I'm forgetting something, but after all the lists I've made, if I have it's probably not important anyway. I always have "that" feeling, no matter where we travel, then it all turns out just fine.

Have a good day everyone! I'll keep checking back today to see if anyone's around. I'll need a few breaks from all the work I have to get done these next two days.

Amy, will it be raining in Florida tonight?

 

[koby]

You know, I got a prescription for Xanex. The doctor gave me 10 tablets and they are Very Helpful for plane rides! When you add a glass of wine, there could be a nuclear explosion and I would be a-okay with it

Thank you Corryn for making me laugh with this quote. We are flying out tonight and my anxiety is already kicking in. It never bothered me to fly. I have taken 12 hour flights alone and then those mid forties hormonal changes kicked in. I will be taking something also. We are flying with friends and they suggested some wine too. I told them that I didn't want to pull an Anna Nicole on the flight. (slurring, and dazed).

May you all have a safe trip.

A woman I used to work with dealt with her fear of flying with a bottle of champagne. She would pack it on her carry on and try to finish it before the plane would take off. She said she was always too drunk to care about the fact she was supposed to be scared out of her wits.

I have often wondered how she deals now that you can't bring liquids on board.

We leave in 52 hours. Had to take DS5 to the doctor yesterday. He was running a fever. Told the doc to give him something strong to kill this thing quick. Turns out he gave us an antibiotic that you are supposed to stay out of the sun with. Got to call him back today and get something different. We are not dealing with a kid on a 7 day cruise who can't play in the pool.

He is feeling much better this morning already.

Oh no! Hope he's much better FAST! Trying to keep a kid out of the sun on a cruise would just be too difficult.

Well guys, all morning I'm feeling like this Try to work, and keep writing down things I can't forget to do. I've had that stomach flutter all morning long, and I really feel like that kid in the commerical now "I'm too excited to sleep!" only mine is "I'm too excited to work"

Oh my gosh, I feel exactly the same way. I'm counting down the hours till I leave work at 3pm today. The time is going soooo slow. My stomach is fluttering too!! I just have to get through today and get some sleep tonight (yah right) and we will be on our way.

We'll dance together then. I know I'll be even worse tomorrow, finishing up work, thinking that will be my last day for a few days. Emily knows we're leaving in just two days, and this morning she said "When it's time for vacation & you come wake me up, I'm going to jump up & down on my bed and then get dressed to go" That's my girl!

 

[ohMom]

ok, you girls talking about having a hard time working..............you are almost making me feel guilty but not quite. we are sending the girls to school on Friday, picking up Paige about 2 hours early and Taylor just misses her last class (taylor starts 90 mins earlier than paige) ---- how much do you think they'll learn on friday! Preston and I figured it would be a good way to get them out of the house to get everything loaded and ready to go. that and the fact they are missing 5 days next week!

 

[Hudson5&Lennon3]

I really have been here yesterday afternoon and so far today! Just lurking though...too much work!

Anyway, I just got a call from FedEx. They'll be delivering two packages (PASSPORTS!) in just a couple minutes!

"I'm too excited to sleep!"

Justin and I were talking in bed last night, and he said the exact same thing! Usually I'm the one to say it about anything exciting coming up soon (and this trip is by far the MOST exciting thing we've done in the last 10 years!), but I was giddy hearing him say it, too!

Hopefully I've made my last trip to Wal-Mart. I can't even count how many times I've been there in the last week...probably at least ten!

In case I miss anyone else's bon voyage today or tomorrow,

Have a fun and SAFE travel!
See you at the port!​

We're sending the boys to preschool on Friday, too! I figure we can get our last minute stuff all rounded up, put everything in the Suburban, and leave town as soon as they're out of school!

 

[alikat99]

Amy, will it be raining in Florida tonight?

Nope, no rain in the forecast for the west coast of FL. I think that there's a chance of some sprinkles tomorrow, but nothing major!!

Chris mentioned last night that his throat was getting scratchy and this morning he was a little stuffy!! I told him that he needs to get some rest and GET BETTER QUICK!!!

Madison doesn't have school on Friday (she only goes Tues/Thurs), but Emily does have school. However, she's leaving right after a Father's Breakfast that they're having that morning. I figure that I can get some last minute stuff done at home while Chris and Emily are at the school.

Better get some Airborne! Over the past couple of weeks we've tried to stay healthy. I bought this sinus rinse made by Neilmed, knowing my allergies would be going haywire with everything blooming out around here. I've done that rinse every day for the past two weeks, and I've taken zero allergy meds, and have no headaches. Weird huh? Guess it washes out some of the stuff that makes you feel bad. Those kits will be headed with us on the cruise too, just in case we start feeling congested. See, told you guys I'm packing half a medicine cabinet.
