Good morning everyone. Happy Monday! Going to be another hot one here in Chicago!

Karen - once you are all settled back home we'd love to hear about your trip. What did you like, what didn't you like, etc?

Only 10 days for us until we head out to the Member Cruise. Getting excited! Button production has started, the suitcases are out of the attic and the clothes rack is in the dining room. Yeah! :woohoo:



Woo Hoo - an early morning UTOP with Karen!


PDFG and all who need it.
 
welcome back Karen! Please do tell us about your trip and how you liked good ol' California ;) I love the San Diego area. Every time we are down there, I want to move there! :rotfl: Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up. By the time I realized you were going, you were already gone. I probably wouldn't have made it down to Disneyland that week anyway...busy with work and stuff!
 
Good morning everyone! Happy Wednesday!

Only one more week of work before V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!!!!!!!

Karen - great blog today!

WHAT? How dare you leave us!?!?!?!? ;)

As for my DL impressions....it's on the blog today. :) www.pediascribe.com

San Diego stories are coming soon. As are pictues.
 

WHAT? How dare you leave us!?!?!?!? ;)

What can I say? You know I love the Member Cruises. Plus we get to do Hilton Head this trip (which we've never done), visit a couple of new states (NC and SC), plus get to see our cousin's new baby.

Don't worry we'll have the notebook and I plan on checking in from time to time.

Plus when I get back I can start doing some updates to this cruises web page. :)
 
I'm just kiddin' ya! I said that cuz I just had the gall to leave YOU!

I know! :)

I totally agree with your assesment of Disneyland. I love that it is Walt's park and appreciate many of the things it has, but it is nothing like my beloved Walt Disney World. Epcot has been my favorite for so long and California has nothing to compare to that.

I do love that you can walk to everything which is one of the reasons I really love Boardwalk. I can walk to both Epcot and the Studios.
 
Good morning Cruisers





We sail in 28 weeks!


 
pretty quiet for 28 weeks to go. it has turned to fall here 47 degrees out now. raked leaves today we get to put them in the street next to the curb then towards the end of the month the city goes around and picks them up. working at the school tomorrow trying to pay off the cruise and have extra for all the fun on board.

You're right Mike -this is a pretty quiet group. I know for us it is getting ready for our next cruise. We sail one week from today on the Wonder for a 4 night DVC Members cruise.

Fall has come to Chicago as well. Not too heavy on the leaves yet but we do the same thing with them. rake them to the curb and the village picks them up once a week.

I'm sure things will pick up a bit as we get closer and closer to the cruise.
 
i've been busy here.
i've got school every day with the kids.
then rehearsals have started for KT's High School Musical.
plus trying to catch up from being on vacation.
then there is blog related work.
and the indians are in the ALCS. We haven't watched much baseball all year, but i grew up an Indians fan, so we're watching them (except last night we couldn't stay up that late!)
Plus there is this little thing called college football. :) And we had to watch the #1 team go down yesterday and listen to #2 go down. What's that? The BUCKEYES should be ranked #1 today????

Speaking of.....speakupjc.....you coming into town this next Saturday?? Wanna meet up?

Totally true!

Well I'm watching it a bit but was listening to it at that moment because my eyes were on the computer monitor.

True - which is why I love Soarin!

Actually that is my natural hair color as well (well I guess my natural color now would be grey which is why I use the box).

Very good book but it is a deep read so I haven't been breezing through it.

I'll hopefully be hearing that wonderful sound in less than a week and sailing in one week and one hour! YEAH!

Karen yes I would love to get up with you. Let's make plans to meet.
By the way Karen and Mary if your ears were burning when I was on vacation it is because you were being talked about. I met up with Laura LeClair at DW.

She told us! So glad you guys could meet up. I wish they could join us on this cruise. They are a great family. We had met them back a couple of years ago at an Illuminations Dessert party before we cruised with them last year. We also had breakfast with them (and one other DIS family) at Grills the morning of our cruise.


Edit to add - she told us you met...now what exactly did you both say about us?:lmao:

When I read your favorite lunch meat, I saw it as "Meat-chicken!" ;)

If you like Fruit Loops, try the Fruity Cheerios. Very good! (and healthier to boot! Now if I eat Fruit Loops they taste too sickening sweet for me.)

Oh yeah, that is a GOOD ice cream!! Cracks me up they call it "chocolate chip." More like "chocolate CHUNK!"

Game is at 3:30 this weekend, right? Did you say you wanted to meet somewhere very close to the stadium? There is Buckeye Cafe, although I fear that is going to be a zoo! There are several other good places that aren't *too* far away. I just don't know what it will be like for Nick and I trying to get TO the stadium area while everyone else is trying to leave. ;)
