I'm glad you had a good time at the meet yesterday, Robin Marie and Ed!!

Thanks for all of the good wishes! We're running around getting ready for tomorrow, but we did go to "our special place" for lunch.

Diane: What grade will you be teaching?

Lori

Hi Lori!

Right now I assist in a kindergarten classroom but I will be student teaching in a 1st grade classroom in the fall so I want to hold off on making any final decisions until after that. I may not even stick with early ed. I just don't know yet. There is so much to consider & so very much responsibility. I'm not sure I can take it all on at the ripe age of 43!

Thanks for asking!
Diane

Happy 4th July! Hope the weather is good!

Today not good here, very warm but very wet (surprise, surprise!)

Terry, loved the photos! Hope John and Craig are feeling better. Great to put faces to names!

Tina, talk away! It's a part of life and it is better sometimes to be able to talk to those who are not directly involved.

Doreen, love the necklace!! Is that Lia Sophia? Is that only based in the US or is it worldwide?

Welcome Elaine! Yep, we're cruising for the first time too!


Lori, missed it yesterday but Happy Anniversary!

Linda, I hope you see some light at the end of the tunnel financially... not easy I know.

Denise (Aurora's Mommy), Sometimes people like to go on power trips... you can be the bigger person and let them be childish! Hope things are improving on the work front.

Hello other two Denise's as well!

Ed, are you in any of the photos?

Enough for now! Must do some work...

Moira.

Reading the posts you girls were cracking me up. Thanks for the laugh.



Mary Rose :Hope the salad turns out great today uhhh I mean your BBQ. The only thing I think you can do is wash you hair over & over again.



Terry: Thanks for sharing the brunch pictures !! Almost felt like I was there. You LOOK GREAT !!!! Almost like a kid.


Doreen:We live in the same state so it makes sense for me getting blamed about the weather but New Jersey??? Come on now Love you back


Elaine: to the group !!


Jonathan finally has a day off goes back to work tomorrow and it's just us today so I think we are going to the movies today. No fireworks kinda a low key day but wanted to wish everyone else a GREAT 4th .

 

[SeaSpray]

Ah Terry so you Do indulge ocassionally and I see the picture proves itl Was that the blue martinis/varnish martinis you were talking about yesterday? Where the heck did I get the idea that you didn't drink? Not that it matters of course, just an odd assumption on my part. Must be because we often met up over fancy coffees! Can't wait to meet at Cove Cafe again friend!

Now back to trying to remove Olive Oil from my hair Ugh! Stay tuned!


Mary Rose

Yes, that was the nasty-tasting varnish-tasting blue martini I was telling you about! blech! But they looked so pretty we (my sisters in law and I) didn't want to stop drinking them. The more we sipped them, the better we thought they tasted. They were quite strong!!!

We had stopped into the martini bar before dinner to get a drink. We ended up giggling all through dinner that night and I never did get the formal pictures taken during that cruise (Royal Caribbean cruise) that I wanted. And this was all because of 1 very strong, gross tasting, but pretty, drink!

I don't drink a real lot, but I do like to indulge in the occasional adult beverage!

And I still can't believe that several of you thought I don't drink at all... LOL Here's some more proof, from the DCL cruise in 2004:

I don't know about that Terry, look at all them empty glasses in front of you and John, looks like you did rather well for yourself there, how ever did you manage to stay on your feet, LOL!!!

Have a Happy and Safe Holiday!!!

 

[RobinMarie]

I just read on the Fools board two more folks are joining this cruise. They will make excellent additions to this group.

Happy 4th everyone! Hopefully everyone has the day off!

 

[castoff]

ughh !! Jonathan's work just called and they really need him so he's going to work from 2-9. He also has to work 9-5 tomorrow. That's 7 days straight so far and he doesn't have his schedule for after that.

 

[PoohJen]

Happy 4th of July, Everyone!!!

Moira, don't tell me they won't give you today off?!!!

Diane, my DH (early 40's) just received his teaching certificate (he switched careers from business) He had been a stay-at-home dad with our kids for a few years, really enjoyed it, took a permanent sub job for a few years to see how he liked teaching. Now we are just waiting to hear about a permanent full time position...

Welcome Lainie!!! You've got quite a crowd you're sailing with, no doubt you'll have an extraordinary vacation!!!

To all you NJ brunchers - what a happy (and did I mention young looking?!) group!

Jen: Thanks for the words of encouragement...I can use all I can get right now. I have a some tough decisions ahead of me!

My DH is working too & since tomorrow is my DD's 12th birthday, I really have to do my homework today. Not a fun 4th! But we did see fireworks last night!

Welcome to Elaine! I think we're going to have a blast before this cruise even gets started!! You guys are too funny! I got a good chuckle catching up on posts from last night!

Terry: It was fun reading what name goes with what face from the meet. Of course I would've known Bev & her daughter no problem since we had the opportunity to meet before. Thanks for posting! And if you want to prove you drink...that post from the cruise will do it!!! LOL

Diane
