Good morning everyone!

Good advice Randy. As a cancer survivor I've tried to enjoy every day I have here on earth. Some days better than others. For me one thing that helped is journaling. If I'm having a bad day I write it down. If I'm having a great day I write it down. I also write down all the blessings in my lift. After I write down the bad things I go back and re-read the good things and blessing. Thanks for the great reminder.

Good morning everyone - happy Sunday.

Had a very nice time last night at a dinner/dance put on by DH's company. They are a family owned company that is celebrating 150 years of business. The party was for all workers, family, long time customers and the companies major vendors. Over 350 people in all. Each employee got a certificate thanking them for their years of service and they had a slide show going during dinner and the cocktail hour showing everyone at work and how many years they had been with the company. One gentlemen just retired after working for them for 65 years!

We never got to the dancing part - they might have started that after we left. After dinner they opened up a separate room with a sweet table and the dj started playing but no one was really dancing.

Still a great party.

hi all! Just wanted to check in! How is everyone doing? I am off to work in a bit! Airfare has gone up again, it's depressing. I am thinking of just biting the bullet and buying it. I originally planned on us flying in on the redeye Thursday night, but now I am thinking we'll take a 8am Friday morning flight, getting us there around 4pm. Probably less stressful. I have never taken a redeye with the kids, so I don't know how they would do and I don't think this is the time to find out Besides, coming in in the afternoon, we'll know for sure our hotel room is ready for us!

Has anyone heard from Jen? Wondering how her Alaska cruise went!

Karen will you verify me that the game this week is the one that your dh and dc can't attend. We will be in attendance and I don't want to look them up if they aren't going to be there.

Yes. It's the Northwestern game and dh is on call so he can't be there. He swapped tickets with someone else and I think that's how he got 4 tickets to the Youngstown game. But I'm not 100% positive. I just pay the Buckeye Club bill.

We are looking forward to the game and are sorry your family won't be there. We look forward to meeting all of you at homecoming. Before long we will have to make concrete plans Oh by the way aren't ya'll going to Disney soon? We are going to the BCV from Sept 29-Oct 4 and then will be on the Wonder from Oct 4-7. If anyone has any insights on the Wonder please let me know as we have never sailed on her before as we have just been on the Magic. Our plan is to stay on the boat in Nassu and go to the Rainforest for those awesome heat tiled chairs. We of course will get off at Castaway Cay.

Hi Speakup

We just took the Wonder 3-nite in May. From what I understand, the Magic is almost exactly the same.

Good morning everyone!

The Magic and Wonder are just about identical so if you know your way around one you'll have no problems with the others. The big differences:

Lobby decor - one is art nuveo while one is art deco (can't remember which is which).

Lumiere's on the Magic is Triton's on the Wonder

Topsiders on the Magic is Beach Blanket Buffet on the Wonder

Beat Street on the Magic is Route 66 on the Wonder

Magic has Sorcerer Mickey on the front while the Wonder has Steamboat Willie

Magic has Goofy hanging off the back while the Wonder has Donald and Huey, Duey and Luey.

Just small little touches like that.

Mary - got a question for our all knowing moderator - how many tickers can we have in our signatures? I think there's a limit but i'm not sure.

Got a great call today. My MIL calls me today to tell me Adam's cousin and his wife are pregnant. And hinting at the fact that she wants to be a grandmother. I know she means well and I love her to death (I got very lucky) but still don't need to hear it. We hear it from everyone else and don't need it from our families. Sorry to vent tonight but needed to get it out. I feel better now!!! Now going back to look at the dcl food thread, can't wait to have me some food from palo!!!

Hey Ohio State please don't beat up on Northwestern too bad. The school is based right near us. Of course the old joke is that of all the Big 10 schools Northwestern ranks at the bottom for sports and the top for academics. I heard they used to do a cheer:

That's all right!

That's ok!

You're going to work for us some day!

For the record we have an Ohio State magnet in our kitchen not a Northwestern.

And really really close to Garrett's popcorn! Maybe KT needs to consider going there!

Mike's dad called last night. They had gone out to dinner (in Springfield) at the Golden Corral. Half of the restaurant was blocked off and all of the tables were covered in pretty table clothes and done up nicely. A little bit later, 3 charter busses pulled in and the NW team unloaded and came into eat! We laughed because we knew there was no way they'd be trying to eat in Columbus!!!

Well I hear they do have a good drama department.

Yup, I've heard that too. Not sure I could handle all of the Chicago traffic going to visit or pick her up/drop her off.
