I think DH wondered if I was EVER coming home. 
B&B Mom and cnj (Jenni)! I've seen B&B on the list of DISers from Molli, so I assume you've been here before (probably before I came along). I don't think we know much about your family, though, which is fine, too, but it's great to see you peek your head in and say hi! And, yes, Jenni, we've all been there before with the screaming kids. Mine have been banned from public since last weekend after throwing a fit in a store. I had to threaten "no Disney cruise" several times in order to get him to stop. Our biggest fear for this trip is that they will misbehave the whole time. (C'mon, boys, proove me wrong!) I do know Amy's football hold all too well, too. I think there's less chance of getting kicked in the sweet spot when you carry a flailing kid like that! 
I get that way sometimes with Target! I do need to start getting things together for the cruise. I need to check our toiletry bag and our first aid kit too.I think I broke a new record for the longest amount of time spent at Wal-Mart last night.
The boats are pretty big, so unless it's already full, it should be able to accomodate Sarah's family!!Sarah, we'd love to have you join us on Captain Marvin's! I don't know how long you're wanting to be gone, but their website gives all the info for the different excursions that they offer. We've decided on the short one (one snorkeling stop and then the rays) because I doubt my DS5&3 will be able to snorkel, but DH and I really want to do the rays. There's a longer 1/2 day one with more snorkeling stops, though (I think Amanda is doing that one), and they even have an all day one, too. I'm not sure how many people they fit on each boat, but I'm sure Amy has an idea since she has done it before. So far with Amy's family, Tricia's (koby) 1/2 family, and us, there's 10. I'd hope they could fit you, too!
And speaking of tags...Amanda, would you care to explain yours?
Last year on the community board there was an extremely long thread called (if you're squeamish, quit reading NOW)......Poo Watch 2006. It all started when a poster said there had been a cleanup bag of dog stuff outside her neighbors door all day, people came in & out of the house and no one ever bothered to pick it up & discard it. She took photos, and even put up a short video clip of running over there, poking at the bag with sticks, and eventually her DH's wrench. So I got the tag from that. The funniest parts were people in disbelief that she was actually doing this, and posting it on the internet. Many, many tags were handed out from that thread.
I completely understand you about the generator. While we don't have snow storms, we have hurricanes and it wasn't until Hurricane Charley DIRECTLY threatened us did we actually go out and buy a generator. Then, as luck would have it, the hurricane turned and hit a different area. We didn't use our generator, but we did loan it to friends who needed it. So, at least we have it, if the need arises!!!
It's hard to believe how much we rely on electricity until we're without it. We had a similar situation around here at Christmas/New Year's with a couple different ice storms that knocked out power to almost the entire central/south-central Nebraska. We were lucky and only lost power for about three hours. There were lots of rural people without power for over three weeks! The weight of the ice just snapped over 6,000 power poles and transmission lines in half! Those huge metal structures were just crumpled! Very few people were lucky enough to buy generators at that time. The stores just couldn't keep up with the demand. The stores were actually encouraging people to return them after they got their power back so they could resell them to those still without power. Anyway, I'm glad your power is back. It's not a fun situation to be in! Sounds like you better go get yourself a generator! 
IWe were flooded and our neighborhood had to be evacuated last Mother's Day. Our house was in disarray for weeks. I now think in all of that chaos some of our documents were inadvertently thrown out.:
did someone mention shrimp??
look at that adorable couple, aren't they sooo in love
I hope your eyeliner turned out beautiful 
Don't worry, we won't spoil your vacation I just like getting together with everyone here beforehand and we'll see what may come once we're on board! It's always good to have "friends" when you're on vacation. We all know that family time or alone/relax time is priority, and I'll respect that. 
I'm not sure what we're going on....How can I find out? I know it's the catamaran Stingray City Snorkel tour.....Anyone?
and now I'm going to get my eyebrows waxed.....Mike and Kathy are coming over later on. I'll get a good photo of them and post it, hopefully, later...
Corryn, did you book it through DCL? If so, I'm not sure how to find out who they contract with--maybe it would say online.
We had to book directly through Captain Marvin's because Lennon is too young to book any of the stingray excursions through DCL.I just realized 2 weeks ago that our passports and birth certificates were not where I thought they were.
So, I am going to go through them now. I hope everyone has a good day.I think I broke a new record for the longest amount of time spent at Wal-Mart last night.

Someone did get sick that first night in the elevator. That was a bit nasty!
Your quotes look great, Cheryl....Hey everyone, Check out Cheryl's "Quoootes"!
I'm guessing Nick will be in the teen club. My daughters are Tori 14 and Kyralyn 13. They've been posting on this thread just for the kids going on this cruise. If he's interested, I'll post the link again
