As long as it clears up once and a while enough to run I am fine with it. I am hoping for a good chunk of time tomorrow to run since it is our last long run before our race.

Today is my last scheduled long run before my race before I begin my taper, but we're experiencing another Nor'easter (thankfully rain not snow) and there is zero chance of getting outdoors today. Tomorrow doesn't look too much better so it appears I will be relying on the treadmill.

LMAO I still remember you guys all leaving in a nice van. We were like umm where are you going and when even the driver said oh just to pick up the jeep no one would have thought it was 20 miles away on a 15 mile island LOL.
And I still love the picture of Steve sitting on stinky!

Psst by the way everyone, Stinky is a jeep in St,Maarten

I'll send Wilson am email and ask him what his plans are...

Nice van, yeah right! But it was better than Stinky! I almost cried when we got out and they showed us that dang jeep!! But he is a classic now!
And everyone who doesn't know, the jeep was dubbed Stinky because we had to take the soft top off the jeep because the exhaust fumes came in so bad we couldn't breathe. Good times

Oh ya don't we all remember that? For anyone who has never been to St.Maarten, when you get to the car rental booths there are 5 companies. 3 are brand name places and 2 are no-names. Guess which ones the 2 of us picked? As Erika said, when you see someone holding a piece of cardboard with 50% off written in magic marker....run away!

Tomorrow we are going to see Disney's Beauty and the Beast the Broadway show is coming to a theatre near us. Our friend works for a bank and he was able to get us all tickets for free for their family and our family!! Super nice of him. The kids are all excited. It will be a late night but wicked fun!!

We've seen Beauty and the Beast 2 times and loved it both times, the costumes are AMAZING! Have a great time!

Hows everyone doing?

was wondering if any of your have been on the Independence Of The Seas
we are looking at doing a 10 night cruise this Oct in the Med as we are not going over the pond this year

only having done Disney before , was wondering what you think of the ship , I'm afraid I'll be sitting on board and wishing I was on The disney Magic
but the price of the Disney Magic in the Med is out of our budget

So true about school.

We joined DVcC in 2006 and we love it! We bought it on our first cruise. They do offer good incentives on the cruise. I wanted to add on last Aug, but decided I should wait. I would imagine a bunch of members add on, on the member cruise. What did you do on ther cruise? Was it a members only cruise?

We went on the members only cruise in Sept. '09 and added on on that cruise. The incentives to add on could not be beat. They were better than what they were a offering a few months prior. The member cruise was very nice. They had special guests and great gifts every night. It really made me realize how much I missed DCL. That is why we are going back this Sept. 10 and then with you guys in Aug. 2011. I have to take advantage now that DS is not in school.

Evening Everyone!

I am working on our web site tonight so if you think of anything be sure to post it so I can add it. I have neglected portions of it for a while and need to get going on things like the blog and such.

Today has been a bit boring here. DH and I ran today, we did a bunch of errands, rested in bed a bit and basically just took it easy. I have been so stressed all week with conferences that it was good to have a day off.

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

Just checking in since it's been quite a while since I've come by our board.


It just seems sooooooo far away. It looks like we have a ton of fun people on this cruise. I bet our meet will be amazing!


I'm looking forward to our "virtual port hole" on this one.

Hello! It does seem a long ways out but was fun when we got below the 600 days point and now we are getting close to leaving the 500s behind!

We will be having a virtual port hole as well since we decided to go with 2 rooms instead of 1 - with 2 kids (DD 15 and DS 11), we decided that more room would be the best choice.

It should be a really fun group to cruise with. I have cruised with a few of them before but there are many new people who I am getting know and it makes the cruise so much better when you feel like you know people when you board the ship!

Evening everyone!!!
I hope everyone had a good day!
Ours has been kind of a rollercoaster day. DD, her DH, and 3 girls were supposed to come here from AZ today. We were going to watch the girls while they went away for a few days. We were planning on taking them to the zoo and DL. We got a call from DD, her DMIL is in hospice losing her battle with cancer. They thougt maybe she wouldn't last past the weekend. So they didn't come today. But she seems to be doing better now, so DSIL had a long talk with the nurse and she convinced him to go and come back next week, that she still has time left. The girls were so excited about coming here, they decided they would bring them here so they could enjoy their spring break, but if anything happens he will be heading to Vegas right away. So they are going to be here tomorrow. I feel so bad for DSIL, he is a good man and I know he is hurting.

Evening Candy -

I am so sorry to hear about this situation. It is so sad that our DSIL has to go through this. I hope that they are able to come and see you and enjoy their visit. I will be thinking of you all...

Our weekend has been pretty low-key. I was so stressed all week with report cards being due and then parent teacher conferences. Last night as a family we went to see Alice in Wonderland. Today DH and I ran, did some errands, took it easy a bit in the afternoon and are now just sitting around enjoying the evening. Tomorrow we have a long run and housework to look forward to.

Thanks Jen!

I bet you are so glad the week is over!! Sometimes those low key weekends are the best!!

How did you like Alice in Wonderland?

 

[sdchickie]

Hi all, just checking in during a commercial break. I'm watching the Sandra Bullock marathon. I forget how much I like her shows until I'm watching them. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I am so glad last week is over. I think that I need this whole weekend to be just kind of a play it by ear sort of weekend after conferences. The worse thing is that DH has report cards due and conferences in 2 weeks. At least we will have one week in between them where we can kind of regroup.

I really liked Alice in Wonderland...I really like one actor in particular so that really helps! The movie was really interesting though and I am glad we paid extra to see it in 3D.
