I had no idea that they are naming the hurricanes ahead of time...let's hope it doesn't make it to letter K this year, but if it does, we'll have to deal with hurricane...KAREN!

Oh my! Well, I checked the list....In the next 5 years of hurricanes, our entire family is named!!! Mike said, "let's have a contest and see whose hurricane is the worst!"

Good morning everyone - happy Wednesday!

Karen - too funny about having a hurricane contest. I think Nick would win.

You think? I'd go with KT. She's the live wire in the family.

cool! I just checked the Budget website and our car rental from Friday/Saturday is $25 cheaper now. I canceled our old one and rebooked with the new rate!

One more thing...is it reasonable to book the car for 8:30 the day we get back? How long do they hold it for you until they give it away?

Kay you should be alright I think on our last cruise we were off the magic by 9am we are tying our rental car reservation to our dividend miles and see if there is a upgrade

Good morning everyone - happy Thursday!

This is really my Friday work wise as I'm taking tomorrow off to prepare for our pre-cruise DIS meet with Karen and family. I'm so excited!

Pre-cruise meet or post-cruise meet? Hmmmm.....

 

[WDWLVR]

Pre-cruise meet or post-cruise meet? Hmmmm.....

Or both! BTW are you coming by car or boat?

hee hee. plane, apparently. today nick asked what size plane we were taking to get to chicago. i said a pretty small one---about the size of my car. he said, "wow, that is small!"

hee hee.

btw, for the euchre players in the group.....there is another game called wizard. it's very similar to euchre except you have to guess how many tricks you will take with each hand.
each hand you get another card (first hand--one card, second hand--two cards, etc)
plus you don't play partners.
very fun game.

morning all! This is my Friday too! I am exhausted. It's hard going back to work after having the whole summer off and being able to sleep in. We are SO busy at work too, getting ready for school to start. Stressful because all the textbooks haven't come in yet and the first student day is Wednesday! I am nervous for my DS to start middle school!

 

[WDWLVR]

Very nasty storms rolled through here this afternoon and evening. Hope those of you East of us don't get hit too hard.

Safe travels to Karen, Mike and the kids!

We had several really bad ones yesterday. They all just skimmed us so we didn't get the worst of it. Whew! Hopefully things will be dry on the way up to you. Saturday and Sunday's forecast look BEAUTIFUL!

We'll be out of here within 12 hours. Must stop at bank on way out of town. Am I desperate or what? I rolled up all of my quarters/dimes/nickels/pennies to trade in for "real" money. hee hee

 

[WDWLVR]

The weekend forecast does look great. Can't wait to see you all!

If anyone else gets a chance for a pre-cruise meet I highly recommend it.

we had a really bad storm about 1 pm we lost the lights at School then after about 45 minutes we lost the emergency generator when i went into the generator room to see what happened i could smell antifreeze not a good sign it seems the core of the radiator went and antifreeze was all over the floor just hope no internal damage to the generator. power came back on at 3 pm but now we do not have a emergency generator and we need to get that fixed by the Wednesday after labor day that's the first day of school for us here.

Here are my answers:

Accent– well I'm from Chicago so I don't think I have one


I don’t drink– alcohol. Just never got into it.

Pets– just some fish. Our schedules are a little too crazy for a dog and I'm allergic to cats.


Essential Electronics– my pda and my blood sugar monitor


Perfume– Laila - the essence of Norway. A fellow cruiser turned me on to it. It is available at Norway in Epcot. A light clean scent.


Gold or Silver– both. Mostly gold.


Insomnia– yes as I've gotten older. Some nights I wake up at 2am and will cruise the DIs for a while before heading back to sleep.



Job Title– Team Supervisor


Most Admired Trait– I think the trait that I admire most and one I try to keep is that of someone with deep faith. I saw this in my Mom especially in her last months of life.


Kids– no children here, but we have Bear.


Phobia– someday being all alone.


Religion– Roman Catholic


Siblings– one older brother.


Time I Wake Up– radio goes off at 5 am, usually out of bed by 5:30

Unusual Talent or Skill– hmmm - don't think I really have one. I'm pretty proud of the web skills I developed but that really isn't unusual.


Vegetable I Refuse to Eat– sadly just about all of them. I'm not a good eater.


Worst Habit– eating badly and not getting enough exercise.


X-rays– too many. First one was when I broke my ankle, then all the ones from when I had cancer and now my yearly mammogram.


My Favorite Meal– Roast turkey and mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. Yum!
