August 16 2009 4 night Wonder, Cruise-O-Maniac

[Coach Rick]

Hi Rick

As you haven't been on in a while, I hope you don't mind, but I updated our Cruise List, as a few people have dropped out along the way

I hope you're OK, and that you'll be posting again soon ~ Mandy

Boy oh boy...take a couple weeks off and you get sacked...

Nah, been so busy with the kids and hockey. Doing ok...I am just starting to get really excited for the pending trip!

I gotta share this...My DS (18) and youngest DD (14) are both playing on the same high school ice hockey team. They don't have a girls team at our high school, so my DD decided she loved it that much to play on and against the boys...now the neat part...I have gotten to see both of them on the ice together. Ok, don't sound like much, but since he is a senior (and captain I might add) and she is a freshmen, that is quite a feat. Most freshmen don't get to play much, so to see them out there together...well, I just busted a few buttons those nights!

Ok, let me get caught up now...Thanks MandyMouse for filling in for me in my rude absence..

Rick ~ I can't believe it, the day I update the list, you come back Please feel free to copy and paste it onto your first post and then you are able to edit it (as it's much better on the first page)

Anyway, it great to have you back, I hope everyone is keeping well, though I don't know how well you'll keep if you keep adding years to your DW's age

How cool that your kids are going to be playing together

Yep, I've 'bout had it with this winter stuff! But I don't dare whine in your presence. You have WAAAAYYYY worse than we in the south of New England!

DS will be experiencing a real winter next year as he is planning on going to Lyndon State in Vt. for, of all things, Meteorology! Up there what we cancel school for here is a mere snow shower there!

Hey Everyone

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend. What are your plans ? Are you doing anything nice ?

It's my DD Kerry's 18th birthday today. We've got a busy weekend. We're meeting my mum and dad for breakfast this morning, then tonight we're going for a meal at our fave Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet with some of her friends, then tomorrow we're eating out for Sunday dinner

She isn't getting many presents today, as we celebrated her birthday when we went to WDW in the New Year, and part of her present was taking her best friend to WDW too. If you would like to read what we got up to for her '18th birthday', you can find it here http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2066175

Have a great weekend everyone

Please wish Kerry a very happy birthday!!

Our weekend has a few things going on. Tonight we are attending a benefit dance for a local family that lost their home in a fire and did not have insurance . They kids are coming, too. I hope to dance the night away!! It will be a low alcohol night, though with kids in tow

Tomorrow, I am taking the kids to see Disney on Ice. I am kinda excited about this because I get to see Mickey and it is a little time to do something *different*. In the afternoon, the kids will go sledding and in the evening, I gather we will catch some of the superbowl.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend, too!!

Just found out my aunt ( only a few years older than I am) WILL BE CUISIN with us! Her, her husband and 4 year old daughter. I'm so excited, they found out from my mom we were going and just decided to crash our party and we are so happy since they live in KS and we live in NY we never get to see each other.!

Last night my sister booked through her favorite travel agent...ME... So there will be a total of 10 of us cruising together...

She was having a tough time deciding to go or not. As I said, last year we were supposed to go with dad, but he got sick and ultimately passed away in September, and we have all been having such a tough time with his loss, but I finally convinced her the same reasons to do this together now, still exist. Time together away from everything. Life is so unpredictable, gotta take advantage of every day for everything that day has to offer!
