T.O.P.


Stacey, pony express is coming your way

 

[justmestace]

Thank you jilljill, for pointing out that I am an idiot!

SORRY!!!!!! I MEANT CATHY!!!!!!!!!!! cathy cathy cathy cathy I need to work on that.

Not only did you get a T.O.P. but you got post #300!!

 

[Catnip0113]

You guys are funny. I knew you meant Cathy when you said Cindy, they were both popular names when I was growing up although the Cathy was usually with a 'K'. Now, Jilljill is "Jill" really your name? I don't recall if you signed another name on your posts ever.

I will talk to my Dad more about actually planning a trip to AZ. I will have to ask where his brother is, he doesn't have a phone except a local cell phone or something odd so it is hard to reach him. He must be 80 yrs. old now, I remember him as the good looking playboy type. My father and this brother still have all their hair, my brother seems to have inherited that too. I hope I did too so it doesn't get too thin like my mothers.

Hi Cathy, my real name is Barb. I don't know if I posted that here or not. I usually don't use it much on the boards, but you can if you would like to.

I actually had a very long day at work - I went it at 12:45 and clocked out at 8:00. Very unusual for me to work longer than 4 hours anymore. It went by quickly, so it wasn't that bad.

We have had more storms today - enough of the already.

 

[justmestace]

Don't believe her, CathyCindyKathy.......her real name is not Barb.

She's actually a spy, and cannot reveal her real identity.

That's why you will find her travelling the world, with different Disney Men.............it's all a part of her cover.

I heard about the flooding in NJ, is it like that in Delaware too Jilljill/Barb?

I wish I worked part time sometimes. We are a little slow right now so I am not always there the full 8 hours. We have been taking longer lunches to kill some time. They kind of owe us because there are lots of other times where we work 60 hour weeks and don't get paid for it!

 

[jilljill]

We had a ton of rain around here but no flooding in our immediate area. Just south of us got 11 inches of rain on Monday. It did close the major road that runs thru the state. It took my brother 1½ hours to get home when it usually takes him 20 minutes or so.

We went and checked on the house today and the road had several big puddles that we know are formed when they have to pump out our basement. I can't wait for the electric to be turned on and the sump pumps work. Also, when they install the basement windows that should help too.
We found a realtor tonight that only charges 2½% when he lists and sells the house himself. He's very confident that he will sell it the first couple of days, if not the first day, it's on the market. We are in a very good area for quick sales on houses - fortunately.

 

[justmestace]

Send me the rain!!!!

Okay, girls.....I'm out of here. I will talk to you all next Sunday. We get in late Saturday night.

I want to see 10 more pages when I get back!



Don't talk about me while I'm gone!!!

Do you honestly think I WON'T talk about you when you are gone?!?
Hope mom doesn't drive you too .

 

[Catnip0113]

She is going away again? Didn't she just get back? Who am I going to talk to in August when you are both gone? I can't believe no one else is going on this cruise that knows about these boards...

 

[jilljill]

Yes Cathy, Stacey did just get back and she's deserting us again. This time she and the 2 younger kids are going to her parents for a week - she will be driven there.

Hopefully in August I will be able to check in once or twice. We are staying at our timeshare, this one just opened last month, so not sure how the internet access will be, but I will try. Also, Stacey won't be down there as long as I will. So that means more for me .

 

[Catnip0113]

Okay, that makes me feel better. Yesterday the subject of the cruise came up with my daughter and she was saying she didn't want to go if she couldn't bring a friend because she was alone last time. I told her about Stacie's daughter and we might meet more teens on here when it gets closer. I think she feels better about it now. They don't have to go to teen things if they don't like it once they meet people, they can just hang out and see movies or shows or whatever. She also forgets she will be a year older and not feel so in between like she did this year...
And if they before we go it will help.

Cathy

 

[jilljill]

Oh my, we had a lot more today. Enough is enough.

I had an email from Stacey today. She's having a good visit with her relatives and said to tell you HI, .

Cathy, I know you have said it many times before, how old is your DD? Mine is 10 going on 25. She's been scoping out the boys at the beach this year . We think she will need to be locked up next summer, . She has a major crush on one of our friends, she is always coloring him pictures. (BTW, he is a cutie.)

I had to work today and it was very busy, much busier than it was last night. I did actually work Sat. night, which is extremely rare for me. Oh well, the mouse adds to my vacation fund .

 

[Catnip0113]

My DD is 12 (13 in November) going into 8th grade. I am glad that she will at least meet Stacey and your DD's the 1st day hopefully. When it gets closer we can have them email each other or have their own thread for the cruise or something to get to know each other. Does your DD like the clubs? Our 1st cruise was in April, maybe if we went when she was younger she would have liked the clubs, she was in between groups kind of.

It only rained a little up here, we need some rain for the plants and grass.

 

[jilljill]

We first cruise when DD was 5, so she has spent a lot of time in the clubs. In fact, the last 2 7 day cruises we went on she didn't get off the ship except to go to Castaway Cay. Wait...she did get off in St. Marteen for an hour and was bored and hot so she ready to go back to the clubs. She usually doesn't find one of the kids she likes to hang out with, she will usually find a counsellor that she really likes and then doesn't want to leave.
We have her eat dinner with us and lunch is up to her, she can either eat with the kids or page us. She did know on port days that she was to eat with the kids. Next year we will give her sign out privledges(sp?) - something she has not had before. We figure at 11 she will not abuse that - or she better not.

 

[jilljill]

Please forgive us Stacey, I found us on the top of page 2. I don't know what happened .
Although, we have been doing a lot of packing up and cleaning. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it .

 

[Catnip0113]

And I am not in here as often with Big Brother on the internet and update sites to read about what is going on when I am not watching myself... At least it keeps me occupied through the summer and the cruise will be that much closer!

 

[Catnip0113]

Today I was wondering if they will have a brochure for the California cruises at all. I also wonder if they will have the REAS package, I never got to Palo last time and I thought that would be a good way to make sure I get reservations this time. They didn't have it when I booked...

Maybe I will call my TA sometime to see what he knows.

Cathy

 

[jilljill]

I heard they aren't doing a CA brochure since most of the cruise are almost sold out. Also, I did hear that they released the REAS for all of 2005. I have contacted my TA to book it and she happens to be on a cruise this week, so I have to wait until next week to find out for sure.
In 4 cruises we have not eaten at Palo either. I would like to try it even if we double dip. I really want the chocolate souffle - that is my most absolute favorite dessert. They used to have a really good one at the one restaurant in the France pavillion at Epcot, but sadly they no longer offer it.
