[tiggerwannabe]

I try not to overload them with details...

I tel them what they need to know, when they need to know it

I printed Teen Navigators for her from Deb Wills site. (allears)

Britt looked at them, looked at me, and put them down...see where I'm going with this?

She doesn't want to read or research, they just want ot know where and when.

Mmmmmmmmmm Ice Cream....Have Fun!

 

[nskjerven]

no one is still awake are you???? I have the pictures, I'm loading them to photo bucket now...I'll check back shortly.....we have gone way OVERBOARD on this party, lord help me I can not even begin to think of what it would be like to plan her wedding...(ha like I get to plan it right....)

bbl,

I'm loading them....Tigg...I'll invite you to the account and you can load up the good shots to show everyone. Okay, now you are my IT department, and my personal family photo on demand center...hmmm what else can I hook you into???? I hope you like me as much when you really meet me on the ship.

OK, pirates arrrrrrrrgggghhhhh, as I love to say....We are TOTALLY doing this. Here is my problem. How do I find out what nite this happens on so I don't book Palo's on that same nite???? I'm afraid from prior TRs that it will be on the nite that we are thinking of Palo's, which I think is our 2nd to last night....spa in the early afternoon (romantic escape package) nice dinner, kids stay late in club....we get champage breakfast next morning....I do have a plan here, but without all the details of what nite priates are how can I execute? My sis tells me she has my clothes totally ready....I'll be the wench, oops in the wenches costume....Wilson of course has all the gear to outfit us with hooks and swords (oh my I have to pack that crap huh???) DH will kill me....

crap again...photobucket dumped on me while uploading....19 pictures....I'll try it one more time, better yet, I'm sending them to you directly Tigg, that is so much easier... here are a few coming at ya.

Next Item...pirate night!

I actually have my books at home, unless someone else pops in an answers before I get to look up this info for ya, I'll throw it out here later.

I told Brittany last night about Pirate Night

She really likes the idea of getting dressed up and playing pirate. She's got me looking into the details anyway, so I have some homework to do on this subject.

Brittany knows there's a pirate set available at WDW-MOM! Can you pick them up for me when you go at the end opf the month? It'll save me postage and I know you know what gift pack I am speaking of -the one with the parrot for her shoulder.

Next item-Nan! Please! We will all get along Famously! I'm counting on that

and last, for now, Photobucket does take a while to load so I try to only do ten at a time. If I do it at home - the photobucket has to be the only thing running, if I open other windows mine dumps me out too

I think that's all for the moment...

no actually, Nan-one more thing-that shot of your hubby and Molly face to face is awesome, can you load that into your photobucket? I'd post it in mine, but think you should have it in yours-so you can keep control of your photos.

I have to admit...your conversations were a bit garbled for me...I really feel like I missed out on some secret codes!!! WAAAAA!
Nan--CUTE pics...you may have me inspired for next year!
Tig--your pics of your friends' new place made me miss Stone Harbor! BIL and family will be there the first 2 weeks of Aug. I wanna go!
Looking more & more like gonna have to bite the passport bullet--messes up the thought of a family getaway next month. But Dan & I are gonna get away at least overnight.
Well...need to go workout. Last few days have been crazy, so didn't make it. But looked at next few weeks...should have no problem getting in 4x/week if I am sure not to cop out on any. My SKINNY SIL couldn't believe that I am trying very hard to workout 6x/wk (which means I can usually work in 4).
CRIPES! She doesn't need to workout, and has never carried extra weight in her life except pregnant! Ticks me off when people who have NEVER been in your shoes make judgements!!! (there is more to this story, but since she is going on the cruise, I suppose I should be quiet...I could PM if you are dying of curiousity...)) SOOOOOO DETERMINED to lose a few pounds before this cruise! But I'm going to have a blast no matter what!!!!
Bye girls...update me!

Noooooo, I'm not ready to deal with Passports! I wish we didn't have to worry about it but eventually I will deal...

IMHO-Your SIL should me more concerned with her own household...try to nicely make it clear to her that you and she are just different. Do what makes you feel better not what SIL thinks is better---she's got an opinion and is entitled to it-but she may also need to live-and-let-live! Know what I mean?

 

[nskjerven]

Don't tease me Kris...give me scoop....Always better to hear someone elses family missery to keep you from feeling like you are the only one....Also, I have that same SIL in my family, funny how did she marry 2 men in different states??? oh gosh, that one was good huh????

Tigg, can we really do with out you for 2 weeks???? Can't you train your DH to log in and relay the goings on for us? Just kidding.....Have a fab vacation and wiggle your toes deep in the sand for me. And I did as I was told and sent that pic to PB, check it out and see.

Okay, off to order the cake and get plates and food....finger sandwhiches & fruit kabobs, pretzels and the like....any great ideas please forward them my way....oh yeah...did I tell you I got the Blue Lemonade from Target and Blue ice cubes (the kinda that are in plastic you freeze and reuse over and over again) I should make that ice cream soda thing with them huh??? Oh man, I really need to stop this maddness....

She is a SAHM with WAY too much time to think. I am NOT knocking SAHMs, but both her boys are in school, she doesn't volunteer anywhere, claims she doesn't have TIME to clean her own home! Hey, I can even admit I HATE cleaning, and personally that is more legitimate reason for cleaning lady (which I don't have...can't justify the expense. Could take a cruise a year easy for that cash!) I really like her as a person, but she can be very judgemental.
Now, the conversation that lost me...Aislings OOPS, the gift you want from Shirley...basically the whole conversation last night between you, Aisling & Nan. I feel like a junior high girl who missed the slumber party!
Gotta go...

[tiggerwannabe]

Maybe I could teach FIL-but I doubt it...

He has one website he looks at (ocean tides for fishing) and gets the kids to get the page up so he can sit down and read it.

Everybody's going on vacation! Even the Dog!

Kris-PM sent

Oh, I don't let SIL get to me much...

Good Girl!

We'll have to work on the "much" part eh?

Alls you need are the glow cubes!

I got mine from MGMs PTcafe...I take it with me all the time!

Ooh, that reminds me, I gotta get that out too-
Cranberry Juice and Vodka with a Glow Cube-that's my way to drink!

~Nobody mistakenly ever takes my glass either~

OK on the package for Britt

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Cool Mom!

What night was pirate night?

My books don't tell me and I can't find it on the Navigators I have either

HELP!!!

 

[trinibjill]

Ours was on Wed. It is a new event.

The following is out of the new passporter.

"Ahoy, ye landlubbers! This new deck party is offered to all Disney cruisers, regardless of cruise length. On the three & four-night cruises, it's held on the evening you're in Nassau. On the seven night cruises, it's held on day 4 or 5 (Eastern 4 Western 5). The party starts around 9:45 pm on deck 9 midship, after the Pirate themed dinner earlier that evening. ( you get a special rolled menu & glow in the dark bandanas) Expect lots of infectious music, dancing, and visits from crew members and Disney characters ( watch out for Jack Sparrow and Captain Hook. Your are treated to a Pirate buffet around 11:00 pm with desserts and pirate fare such as chili, fajitas, & turkey legs. You may even get fireworks! While we havn't experience this party ourselves, (I have - it's a blast) all reports are that it's a not to be missed experience and better than the Tropical deck party it replaced. Pirate or Caribbean dress is encouraged."
