1 1/2 months today!!!

The only problem with an August vacation is that you practically wish your summer away!

Does this mean I have to start my diet???

Does this mean I have to start my diet???

I know. It makes me sad that when we get back from vacation my DD will be going to 7th grade. Only 2 more years until high school.

Hmmmm I think about 3 weeks before the vacation I will go on my strictest diet. I wanna lose about 4 more pounds.

I got my WDW docs today!!! We will be flying in on the Wed before the cruise. Getting closer!!!

 

[Tarabra]

I think we may have gotten our WDW stuff a few weeks ago. We are staying at Saratoga Springs. We are DVC members and it is our first time using our points. So being an old pro at cruising, I'm a little nervous about DVC. It was quite simple, so not too worried. I still have to book flights. I had a special offer for 3 days last week on Airtran and wanted to compare flights, then wouldn't you know I forgot all about it. Grrr!! Sometimes I can get really good prices if I wait a little closer to the flight and it's not full yet. We're coming in Thurs. so we don't have to be anywhere before 1:00 so not as much pressure, but we still want to get there early to enjoy our stay. Check-in is not until 4 anyway.

Marcie, as far as losing 4 lbs. seriously do the South Beach Diet. I'm losing about a pound every couple of days. I want to lose 6 more. You get to eat SOOOO much and you still lose weight. You can sign up online. (there is a fee, but it's very helpful) That gives you a daily menu and a grocery list. I don't follow the menu exactly, but it gives you guidance. That Shape Abs workout I got is GREAT! My stomach just really needed tightening after the baby. I'm kicking myself that I waited so long. Now I need to kick my thighs into high gear!! Blah!

Gotta get back to work!! I need to sell some more houses so I can have even more fun on the cruise!

Happy Friday everyone

Another week has gone by so we are that much closer

HOT here lately

Hope to get some more rain today and over the weekend, we sure need it. But I dont want it to rain on the deck party tomarrow and sunday for those cruising this weekend. the indoor party just isnt much fun compared to the outdoor one!!

Have a great weekend everyone,

The ticker is getting closer and closer. We are off to Las Vegas for a couple of days, wish us luck, maybe we can win enough $$ to buy lots at St. Maarten and St. Thomas! I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Well, just got home from Wall Mart, and let me tell you the find we made. I found three of the most gaudiest skull belts you have ever seen. Then I found an outfit to wear for Pirates night. It is all black beaded tank top, and a skirt that Morticia would have worn on the Adams family. Too bad I don't have the figure of Morticia, still trying to lose that baby fat from my daughter (too bad she is going to be twelve). It is so much fun shopping. My husband is glad I am going back to work Monday. This was an expensive weekend. I keep forgetting to post that we are in cabin 7124. Next I need to go out and get magnets for the door display. Haven't thought of any ideas yet, but at least I will have the magnets. Talk to you later.
Bye Sue

 

[ImMarcik]

Wow Sue we almost booked room 7120 we would have been close to you. But we ended up with 6634. If you want, anyone else wants to post their room numbers I will put them on the first page in case you don't make the meet and still want to meet on board. What do you think Kathy? I sure hope Aerial makes friends on the ship.

That's great finds you got today Sue. We went to the movies to see Nacho LIbre. It wasn't very good. That's okay, Aerial was dying to see it. Then we had to go buy a new dishwasher, ours broke about a month ago. I have to get my magnets soon. I have some signs saved on my computer to print out. I also have to make my way to home depot for mickey heads or just do them on the computer. Maybe I will go shopping tomorrow.

Good morning everyone,
Sue it sounds like you are all set!! I hope I run into you on Pirates night so i can see your outift. We usually make the rounds at the party looking at the outfits. So many fun things to see.


I think having our room numbers posted is a great idea!! Then everyone will have a second chance to meet. Anyone walking by my door is welcome to stop by!!! We are in 7566.

June is almost over

well it's 6 a.m. so I'd better get with making breakfast and the laundry is done and needs to go in the dryer. I have so much ironing to get done today. I want to finish before it gets hot out!! Already around 80. We saw a turtle strolling down our street yesterday. I think he was about a foot across his shell, maybe a little larger. We have critters everywhere. I love it!!

Howdy,

Everyone must be busy this weekend because this thread is very quiet this weekend.

It has been raining all weekend here, which is a good thing

Saw a turtle going down our street yesterday, he was actually pretty speedy. we have lots of turtles around here. Also had a baby lizard near the pool. He was so tiny that it was hard to spot him. I dont like lizards, but here they eat tons of bugs, so they are a good thing to have around.

Well that is all the excitement from Florida!!

Had Sushi for lunch and then went to the mall. I bought my earrings for my formal. It's been a quiet afternoon. Weekends go so fast. Glad it has stopped raining here, we were having flooding. It's 94 degrees.

 

[artie137]

I think I can say it ....we are on the Aug 5,12 cruise! I have changed the date so many times I wasn't sure it was really going to happen. the first week I will be traveling with my dd10,dd15 and ds23. the second week ds23 will go home and ds20 will join us. now I need to start reading all the posts to cetch up. see you real soon....

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Artie137,
glad to hear you are POSSITIVE you are coming with us!!!

We had changed our cruise a few weeks back and switched to this one, so I know how unsettling it can be not knowing for sure when you will get to cruise.
But on the other hand it feels GREAT to say YES we are coming too!!

Hope everyone has a great Monday.
we are in the 90's but suppose to get more rain today. we really need it, so I hope we do

Kathy

 

[ImMarcik]

Artie137! We too switched around our cruise. We really wanted this one from the beginning but didn't know when DD's school would start. So we booked the week before. After that we realized my DH would have a meeting that week so we moved it to July 15th. Well, when DD's school schedule came out for next year we found out she doesn't start until Aug. 17th so we moved it to here. The funny thing is I was feeling so uneasy about the other two and now I feel like this is the one I was supposed to be on. So now I can relax.

Hope everyone has a great Monday.

Howdy everyone,
This is a little off topic, but I wanted to tell all of you that on Friday I will become a mommy again!!!
Of course this time it will be a 4 legged baby!

Friday night we had a half starved dog show up at our house. A Boston terrier. We were using the BBQ. We fed her, but then had to call dog control to come and get her. She was so timid and scared. We think she had been abused too from her actions. Anyway we talked about her all weekend, knowing she would be put down in wednesday or sooner. No real chance of adoption because she looked so aweful and she cowers in the back of the cage silently while all the other dogs jump up and down and wag their tales. So DH called today fron the shelter and said we had adopted her. We will get her Friday after she has been spayed and had shots etc..

So now I have to fix up a doggie nursery, so to speak!!

Now I have to find a kennel int he area for when we take this cruise . Hopefully our adult son will be here,s o may not need to leave her. I wouldnt mind, but she will just be starting to trust us about that time and it may be extra hard on her to go to a kennel.

Anyway that is my good news for today!!
I havnt had a dog for 20 plus years, I am sooo excited!!

If anyone has any ideas for a name for a small boston terrier, please let me know. I am having a hard time thinking of a name right now.

Kathy

So many things to buy, just like bringing a baby home.

 

[ImMarcik]

Awww how sweet. Is it a boy or girl dog? What about lucky?

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

It's a girl!!!!

Thanks,
Kathy
