Bound for Barcelona - April 10, 2010 EB TA - Part 4

[dster113]

Is it wrong that I have put aside all morning on Thursday when I return from being away to catch up on the disboard?
If I can figure out my new iphone while I'm away maybe I can keep up a little...

If I haven't told all of you...THANK YOU for all the info and everything that you are doing to make this trip that much more special!

Been away for a few days in St Augustine, FL. We need to go back when we can spend some more time to sight see.

We did go to the Outlet Malls and we "scored" some really good deals ... especially at the Disney Discount Store! I bought some thngs I really didn't need just because they were so "stinking" cheap!

 

[brack]

Favorite FE gifts ....

Small LED light
Ink Pen
Key Chain

Ok need some ideas from the men on here. I am lacking in gifts for my hubby's secrect mickey compared to the ones for me and the kids!

Can you give me some ideas of things you would like to get or even things you have received on past cruises.

TY

Krisann

Krisann, I know we are hard to buy for. I know my problem is most of my "toys" tend to be expensive. However, Woody has some good ideas. Even though on a cruise, food is good. Candy for the movies, snacks for excursions. I agree with Woody on a highlighter. Since I work with the Boy Scouts, anything campy is good. Scouts also like patches, so Council Strip Patches from your area are neat to have and trade. (Those are patches that you get from your local scout store that scouts wear on their uniform to indicate where they are from.)

While it's not Disney How to Train Your Dragon was a cute movie. I also ended up buying a new camera and so far am happy with it. I've just played around with it a little.

I also made a few more magnets today for our door. Bought a photo mat to have signed and a frame for it to go into. Oh and got some of the Sketcher's Fit shoes...again this is why I shouldn't be allowed to leave my house but on the other hand someone needs to keep the economy going, right? Why not me?

ttpai, dnzeprincess and ericamanda01 -- can you look at the spreadsheet and fix your entries -- I'm having trouble figuring out who's who, sorry!

I think we should be good otherwise.

 

[Tinked]

Please help me understand how this FE thing goes. We are signed in on FE 3. We have ordered our FE. Just don't know how this works. What are the normal FE gifts? How often do you give the gifts? Do you gift everyone in the cabin? Do you wrap the gifts? Do you tag who they are from? How do you know the ages? Thanks so much. Just want to make sure that we are doing this right!

My heart is so heavy tonight. Just found out that a friend of my son's (not a close friend but someone he played with on and off and went to school with when in public school) died. He was 11 or 12 and his older sister is also friends with my daughter. Everyone is in shock. He had some type of accident while racing motorcross yesterday - details are sketchy. Give your children an extra hug tonight - you never know what each day brings. My prayers go out to Luke's entire family.

Krisann

Oh, I'm so sorry. That has to be so hard for your kids as well. I just put DS18 on a bus back to Santa Cruz after spring break & I just texted him to make sure he was okay....can't hug, but thanks for the reminder.

 

[dee47]

So I'm finalizing (sort of) the mini-nav and made an executive decision:
Stateroom Tour Part 1: 4/13 @ 11 AM
Stateroom Tour Part 2: 4/14 @ 1 PM unless Krisann feels strongly about losing 1 game day.

Do we still want to do PJ Breakfast on the 19th? That will mean no Book Exchange that day (I'm OK with it). Or we can push the Book Exchange knitting to 10:30 / 11 AM. I'm flexible!

What about dates times for photos? This includes the Cougars Photos. Speak to me, people!

Lynne, any word on Bunco?

Someone remind me -- who's doing the Digital Scrapbooking workshop? And do we have dates / times for this and the XMas Organizing?

We will certainly remember this family in prayer during the coming days. Children dying unexpectedly; heartbreaking. So sorry for their loss.

I believe its Krisann.

YOU DEFINEITELY get soap on a rope x's 2 cause NONE of us are banking on you to pack any!!

 

[KrisannB]

Someone remind me -- who's doing the Digital Scrapbooking workshop? And do we have dates / times for this and the XMas Organizing?

That is me! Put something like this in the mini nav for both events:

Please check the main information board for information on the exact date and time Tuesday morning 4/13 - I hope to have places and times finalized by then.

You can also list my room number if someone needs more info.

"Evita" is showing on Showtime 2 (free weekend) - its a good show Part of my heritage....my father's from Argentina.

I lived in Argentina for 18 months, in Mendoza, San Juan, and Cordoba. What part is your Dad from?

And Woody; what the heck is japodog or robodog, or whatever the reference was to in Vancouver? Enquiring minds want to know. Thanks,
Ann
