August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[MoranClan]

Hi everyone!

Today was my last day of work before the cruise. Just to clarify, my kids sorted all of the magnets for everyone. They had a ball doing it! Stuffing the envelopes was like making Halloween goody bags for them.
Joanna- I ironed the other day and left everything hanging . I will put it all into the garmant bag on Wed night. I hope all of my stuff won't wrinkled, what a waste of time that would have been.

It's a beautiful day here and we are off to see the new baby. First time since the day he was born! Maybe today I'll even get to hold him!!!!!

See you during the week!!!

But I am sure we can use it too.. and I have a sister with me too that can use it. Thank you so much for doing that for me..
Ok We have to have a END OF THE CRUISE DRINK THE REST OF THE BOOZE PARTY.... on Friday... Start at one room and stay until the bottles are gone,, go to the next room,,lol

Wow, you guys are on the ball. I have never heard of the Downey wrinkle releaser. Now I have to go on a hunt for it. I did buy a steamer and plan on using that, but think the Downey sounds good for T's. How does it smell?

I packed most of our clothes last night. I use freezer bags and get out as much air as I can. It is so eay to pack that way. I can see everything and so can airport security, so they don't need to rummage around in my undies! Plus it keeps things together by category which makes unpacking easier, too. I don't have our formal things packed. They are hanging together, though. I'm still debating about whether to do a slight alteration on my dress. Have to decide tonight or I won't have time.

I bought a bottle of Champagne for embarkation night. I also bought 2 other bottles of local wine, but one is gone already. I think the other may bite the dust tonight. Oh well, there is always the wine package onboard.

I have 4 more days of work before we fly out on Fri. Tue, Wed & Thurs I will have to drive to Trenton and back for training. I'm looking forward to the training but hate the traffic. I'm completely spoiled by working so close to home.

Went to the mall today. I also hate shopping! I know that is sacreligious, but it is true. DD needed all white sneakers for school, no color what so ever. Do you know how hard they are to find? Finally found a pair that had removeable charms on the laces. Thank goodness she wears a uniform to school.

Cindy - tell the kids thanks for sorting the magnets. I'll bet they had fun.

All of you who did tie-dye, you are brave souls! Can't wait to see you all looking so 70ish and all you pirates!

Doreen...we are on deck 5.

Good isea about printing out Jason's page. So of a;; of us, how many do you think will actually go to the DIS meet at the Promenade Lounge and how many do you think will show up on Key West night for the Beatles gig?

4 days of work here also, with a hair appt. on Wednesday evening.

Doreen:

I will bring the Downey for your sister. What cabin is she in? I will hang in on the door so that she doesn't have to carry it after the meet. I am in 6034.

Sandygirl:

Downey smells really great and works really well for tees, sundresses and such. I have never tried it on suits.

Is anyone making name tags?

Last year we have a huge turn out for the meet after the drill. We took group pictures but mine turned out dark. I was hoping they can turn up the lights so they turn out better this year. I hope everyone brings their kids so that they can get acquainted. I think a lot of the teens have been talking already.

We have a busy week this week hopefully it goes by fast. Doctors, dentist again, Bob needs his hair cut and my niece is off to college so were are having a going away dinner for her. My boss is on vacation so I can pretty much goof off, good thing because my mind will be on the cruise.

Good Evening Friends!

I've been MIA today first trying to fix my skunk-stripe hair (think I did okay there) and second, putting the X-Cargo on top of the car! YIPPEE YIPPEE. Finally the packing is winding down. I ran today to pick up some juice boxes for my friend's three-year-old. They are flying and since I'm driving I told her I bring what I could for her. Needless to say that was before I packed the 100-pound-bag-of-booze and packed all the bags & carryons I'm allowed. Well, at least I can help the little one. And, you know, I'm happy to share my booze!LOL My friend is traveling with 50 family & friends. Doesn't that sound like great fun!

I also agree about the Downy wrinkle releaser. Not being too much of a Suzy Homemaker I swear by the stuff!

Well friends, we begin the last of the work weeks before we all sailaway!! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait

I forth the drink until kids need to walk you home party. That's their job right?!! Joanna I am in a family suite cat.5 anyone near me? I will be at the Dis meet for sure on the first day. At the 60's night are we able to bring kids? Not sure if they will be OK away from us and in the clubs... I think my husband is starting to pray for the miracle of adult fun to happen... hope they will give us 5 mins of free time.....

 

[Reenieny18]

Pattiteach ,, how do you manage 5 min?? Terry get to sleep in this morning.. geesh,,, I am in the wrong house..lol
What room are you in,, I think the family of 5s are on different decks.

[Reenieny18]

Ok boards are slow tonight,. I am off to bed I had shots in my ankle again and its really swollen and bruised.. I need my rest for these drinking nights....Bobby can you out last us LADIES????
Good night everyone..
Doreen

 

[pattiteach]

MikesMom are you here?? We are on the same deck and our kids are the same age. Hopefully we can meet up. It is very crazy here right now with the trip, and I am a philly special education teacher, and it looks like we are going to strike. But, I will not know until we are crusing.... sending alot of pressure here. Unfortunately, I am supposed to return to work on the 1St, for three days of meetings and when we return would be my first full week. But with the strike I won't know anything until
I return. Along with the surprise, I am about to pull out my hair. Mind the fact that my oldest just turned ten last week, and had a party with all of this. Can't wait to drink myself silly I just told my husband John about Friday night, an he said better buy a box of wine for all your friends.....We're in for trouble................

Good Morning All...It's Monday and we are now 4 days away from leaving for sunny Florida and 5 days from boarding the MAGIC!
