April 26 - May 3, 2008 Caribbean Crazy Cruisers

[WDWLVR]

We're home from a very wet Irish Fest. Rain, rain, rain the whole way home. Hopefully next weekend will be better as we have very special guests coming in.

Never played Euchre but I'd love to learn.

I've only played Euchre a few times.

Anyone here play Spades?

 

[speakupjc]

OK we will have a Euchre Meet on a sea day if everyone is in agreement. Does anyone suggest a day? My husband and I will teach those who have never played before and want to learn to do so before the meet.

As far as spades yes we do play spades. Does anyone want to have a spades meet as well on a sea day? If so which one?

 

[wdwluvrs]

I can remember playing harts in the Navy. I think spades and euchre is along the same idea. had one of those I hate it when that happens situations about 1/4 of the way through grilling chicken and I run out of propane

Good morning everyone! Happy Monday!

Keeping everyone in the path of the storms in our thoughts.

Lots of rain in our area as well. We are wet, wet, wet!

We need that rain down here in Georgia!! Everything (grass, flowers, trees, etc) is dying b/c we have not had hardly any rain for months now. Plus it would be nice to have some cooler temps down here.

Off to walk the doggies then to work!

never even heard of Euchre but would love to learn!

Today is my last day of summer break! I am going back to work tomorrow. Had a mani/pedi today, my hair done and I am going to go out shopping in a bit for some new clothes. I dread going back because it will be SO busy...with enrollments, etc. School starts next Wednesday (29th) so we'll be very busy until then! I really shouldn't complain though, I have the best job...who else gets the whole summer off? Of course, the downside is no paycheck, I am looking forward to getting paid again!

It's rained most of the day here today. Thanks to Erin. But that didn't stop us from trying out our new Sonic here in town (Mary, it's right near Wal*mart and Bob Evans) They have some speed bumps to work out as does any new place that is slammed with a crowd. But all in all it was good.

The only time I (dh hates fast food) go to Sonic is when I'm craving tater tots or slushes!!! The only fast food we eat regularly is Chick-fil-a. It's a staple food group here and the only fast food adam will eat. Now i'm hungry and the lasagna still has 20 minutes.

Sonic & Chick-fil-a YUM! We don't have either around us here but we'll be hitting both in 9 weeks on our road trip.

Good morning everyone - happy Tuesday!

So sad to see the destruction Dean is causing. Especially with memories of some of those places. Everyone is focusing on how it might be missing Cancun and Cozumel now but that means it is hitting Costa Maya. While it wasn't one of our more popular ports it is a shame to see think of that little port area getting pounded by this storm.


A morning UTOP!

PDFG and all who need it especially those in the path of Dean.

 

[dreamcometrue]

back to work for me today!

Praying for all that are in Dean's path! It's sad, because most of the Caribbean islands are pretty poor and their buildings are just not meant to withstand hurricanes, so they pretty much get wiped out.

 

[dreamcometrue]

just read on cnn that Dean has weakened to a cat. 2. That's good news! It was a cat. 5 before!

That's because it's gone over the land of the Yucatan Peninsula. It's going to go back over water in the Bay of Campeche and gain strength again, most likely (they say it'll have about 15-18 hours to ramp up before hitting land again)

oh, that's not good! You can tell I don't know a whole lot about hurricanes, although I am watching more this year because we'll be visiting some of these islands next year.

I'll take my earthquakes any day over a hurricane. I can't even imagine what these poor people are going through! My SIL and family live in Florida, and had to evacuate one year. They drove all the way to Colorado to stay with her inlaws. That was the first year they lived in their brand new home. She said it was horrible not knowing whether or not the house was still there. Phone lines were down so they could not reach anyone in the area to check on their house. They didn't know anything until they got back!

Here's what it looks like when you just get your braces off (and you're being goofy wearing a stretchy bracelet around your neck)

OMG - she's beautiful! She looks much more grown up than the last time I saw her. Can't wait to see that beautiful smile in person. Only 3 more days!

 

[speakupjc]

Beautiful smile on a beautiful girl!!!

 

[dreamcometrue]

beautiful smile! I remember when I got my braces off...I was in 7th heaven!

Your daughter is very pretty and has a great smile!!

Well it looks like I got the crap that Adam had over the weekend. He also gave it to his next door deskmate at work. So got to try to work from home but when the fever goes on working just doesn't happen. Oh and I got the short end of the deal. No one to get my lunch or dinner - dh has had meetings and a special dinner today - so not fair
