Gppd morning everyone - happy Friday!
Well yesterday wasn't too bad at work. Had to spend about an hour going through e-mails but I'm pretty much caught up with that. Now to catch up on everything else.

well, my baby boy has officially graduated from elementary school! I cried of course! I checked him out, will go back in a bit to pick up DD, and we'll go to 7 Eleven for Slurpees. Wanted to take them to lunch, but we'll be going to dinner later instead. I surprised DS with a new scooter he's been wanting and he was thrilled! He also got a cell phone a few weeks ago which was his early graduation present! Later, we'll go to Build A Bear at the mall so DD can make yet another bear! 
It's hot here today, and for some reason our AC isn't working. The fan comes on inside but the outdoor unit isn't coming on! DH says he'll take a look, maybe it's just a loose wire or something, but if he can't fix it, I'll call someone! I need my AC!!!

Ok, guys, time to vote (told you I'd remind you)
http://www.take2max.com/blog/
I'm listed as "Karen (Pediascribe)"
(and I just found out on the budget board that this sort of solicitation is not allowed, so no one turn me in, ok? surely I don't need ANOTHER excuse to get banned from the DIS!)
And hey, if I win....I'll be sure to thank you all!

OMG - There are over 100 pages to read. We've got a lot of catching up to do.. 
Dis Name: zerog (pronounced zero-G, not zee' rog)
Names: Randy, 48, Steph, 34
Kids (ages at time of cruise): DS, Kyler, 8 and DD, Taryn, 5
Cabin number: Cat 12 GTY.
Dining - late, however I'm going to try to change this. Otherwise I may have to bring a blanket and pillow to dinner for my DD. Taryn fell asleep at the table the first nite.
Thankfully the Head Waiter saw this and changed us to early seating the next 2 nites.
Ok, I've read the first 5 pages so far dating back to November 06. It may take me a few weeks to catch up - so I don't know what's been discussed so far. Pardon me if I repeat something.
Background:
We just finished a 3-nite cruise aboard the Wonder on May 24. We had a great time, but time flew by so fast. So, I booked this cruise onboard; really as a place holder to lock in the discount and OBC (however, I think this date will actually work out). Turns out, the 10% discount doesn't apply to a Cat 12 GTY. The Cat 12 GTY was cheaper than booking a Cat 11 room (with discount).
This IS the last Eastern 7-nite cruise of spring for the Magic. I think the Eastern is the way to go based on a poll I submitted on the general message boards (ref. East vs. West thread). As far as excursions, I have no idea at this time what we're going to do. I have heard that St. Johns has a beautiful beach, so I'll probably find something to do there.
We live about 10 minutes from the port, so perhaps I can answer some local-type questions. But then again, I can't help too much because we don't need 3rd party transportation to the port (e.g., bus or taxi) nor a hotel stay prior to the cruise.
The Good News: I get motion sick very easily.
However, I didn't get seasick or dizzy on the last cruise, despite some very rough seas (10 to 12 feet). I wore a patch and did a bunch of other recommended precautions. Something worked.
Well, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.
Just 10 more months to go!

Welcome to the DIS and welcome to the cruise group! Great to see another family joining us. If you haven't done so already drop me an e-mail with your family info and a picture if you have it and I'll add it to the group web page (details in the first post).

Welcome, Zerog! Not too much to catch up on. We all still really don't know what we're doing! 
We will be sailing with me (39) Mike (39) KT (at cruise time 13 1/2) and Nick (at cruise time 11)
This will be our ?9th Disney cruise. I think 9th. And our 4th (or 5th?) with Mark and Mary *they are the stalkers, not us!)
Ok, now I need to count these out....DVC member cruise, 10 day Christmas cruise, Blabbermouth cruise, and now the DIS Lime Green Thong cruise...so this next one will be 4th, rigtht?)
Just jump right in. Tell us about your day. What you did this weekend. Believe it or not, we all care!

Sorry - where are my manners. I should have introduced myself.
I'm Mary and I'm cruising with DH Mark and Bear (check out the website for his story).
This will be out 11th cruise and yes our 4th with Karen (ohiominnie and her family). We first met on the meets thread for the 10 day Christmas Cruise. Thread that was started by Karen almost 4 years ago! That's the wonderful thing about these meet threads. You can meet people that will become good friends.
Now as for this being the lime green thong cruise - I don't think so! FWIW Karen has tried to make every cruise the lime green thong cruise.
We do hope you will post often and get to know us and we'll get to know you. This group isn't as big as some of our other ones (the 10 day group posted over 24,000 posts by cruise time and our May '06 group posted over 50,000 by cruise time), but quality counts just as much as quantity. Not every group is a chatty one but I do love getting to know my fellow cruisers.

Welcome Zerog. I haven't really posted much on this thread but I do check in every now and then. I am just so happy that you have a DD my DD's age. My Katie just turned 6 on June 8th. We also have a 1 year old...he turned 1 on June 7th. This will be our first cruise and I get motion sick also so I am a little nervous. Can't wait to get more aquainted!!!!

Getting to Know Us:
Today was closing ceremonies for little league baseball. Trophies and team pictures were handed out. Kyler, DS7, plays minor II or coach pitch. This is a step above T-Ball. When we can keep him focused, he does okay at baseball. However, a bug or airplane flying overhead will become the focus of his attention during a game.
Kyler is also signed up for a boy's tumbling class. He does this once a week at the same time that his sister, Taryn - DD4, takes gymnastics. We believe strongly in keeping our kids active. Hopefully this will carry over into their teen years and keep them out of trouble. A coworker of mine has twin girls who just graduated high school. He said his kids just didn't have time to find trouble. Taryn played soccer for the first time this spring. This didn't go well, so we are looking to sign her up for dance.
My DW is studying Biology. Steph works with endangered wildlife (sea turtles, indigo snakes, etc.). You should see her handle a 7 foot indigo. Guys as big as football players won't even go near a snake like that. BTW, they aren't poisonous. On the other hand, my wife hates ticks. Go figure - she can handle a big snake as round as my wrist, but freaks out if she sees a little tick.
And i really mean it when I say she freaks out!
Me - I'm doing the writing, so you'll get to know me thru this thread.

WARNING: Don't leave your husband at the car dealer by himself....
We are done paying for our Expedition, and went to the Ford dealer because I really wanted to look at the new Ford Edge. Well, while there I fell in love with a new Expedition Limited. Since ours has very low milage, is only 3 years old, and in tip top shape, we got a great trade in value for it. While there, DH eyeballed an F-450, and I just told him he was nuts! Since they *just* got the Expedition in the lot, they had to do some stuff to it and we won't be able to pick it up until next week. I took the kids home, since DD got cranky, it was getting late! Told DH to call me with updates etc. Well, guess what? He talked the car salespeople into a great deal he says he "coudln't pass up" for BOTH cars!!
I told him he was out of his mind, crazy, nuts!! I know he deserves a new truck too. He has a 2001 F-250 now, and he works SOOO hard, I know he deserves a new one...but I am about to throw up!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW...it's 10:15 and he is still there. No wonder they are giving him all sorts of deals, they want him OUT of there!

Hi Steph! Nice to "meet" you. My DD will be 8 too when we cruise, so her and your DS will be in the club together. Strangely, she always seems to get along better with boys, so hopefully they'll be friends
I'm Kay, and will turn 34 on April 25th, the day before our cruise. I plan on celebrating it on board! DH is Alan, he'll be 36, and still says I'm crazy to spend that much on a cruise (well, HE is nuts for buying 2 cars...see post above!), DS Josh will be 12. He just "graduated" from elementary school and will be in middle school next year. I feel slightly guilty for keeping my kids out of school for 6 instructional days, esp. since I work in an elementary school office and I know how much the principals DON'T like that! DD Kaylee will be 8 (as mentioned) and she just got done with the 2nd grade!
This will be our first Disney cruise...well, first cruise period! I have been wanting to do the Disney cruise ever since I saw a promotion for it back in 1997 (when it still said "coming soon"). It took me 10 years to finally talk DH into it. I am hoping that he'll fall in love with it and BEG me to rebook! Yeah right...but I can dream, right? I do have plans to rebook (shhh...don't tell him!) for December 2009! And if he doesn't want to go, it'll just be the kids and I. It's cheaper that way anyway!
Anyway, can't wait to get to know you better!
