Christmas Cruise 2005!!!

[FletcherMem0rial]

I have that shot!

I have GOT to find mine....I have one of Brittany and Stefanie there!!

I usually only post from work, my scanner is there now too. The girls were soooo little, these are the same two "girls" you'll be meeting on the cruise. It was our first trip to Florida together with Stefanie's family.

Tig, will it be gauche for the both of us to be rolling the same cooler?

Nope! There will be three of us rolling in Mickey type coolers...we'll be the coolest of the bunch

I like the real size of your photos...

My photo host limits picture size, so every one of mine will be the same size or smaller.

Luggage>? I figured on bringing what they allow, two suitcases, one carry on and one shoulder bag for each passenger.

Does that mean we each get 4 pieces or only 2 pieces....must be clear as mud for me to understand....

About that bull horn.... I want to make sure that we are known on this cruise as the fun group not the funny group.....oh well it doesn't matter we are after all huh?

And no more talk of speedos, I almost split a gut on that one.

Hey, I just realized that I'll miss you guys when I'm on my Dland trip..... okay I feel better now.

We'll miss you, too. It's going to be strange not having any posts from you for a while. But when you get back, we want to hear all the details!

 

[nskjerven]

I told you to stop that.....I'm getting close to peeing in my pants.....

What else do you think I can do to avoid finishing my work to more avoid packing????

N

 

[nskjerven]

why of course, go to ebay, why I should have thought of that, oh I did

Aisling:

I thought that was just a note, not a signature, now you really are fitting into the strange category.

Never made it to ebay, got sucked into old reruns of Las Vegas and then CSI.

Grim: You guys look so cute with that Mouse. Doesn't Mickey just make you smile from ear to ear

DH is a doll he got a babysitter for us today so we can finish work and I can get packed. sometimes I just love that man.

Off to take the bun-bun to the vet, she is getting fixed (well, she isn't really broken, but....)


TTFN,



Nan

Tigg, that was so nice to have you load up our pics.

Okay, now you can all see us, typical Silicon Valley family...Akkkk, I forgot to send you a picture of our pets!!!! That will have to wait until we get home from DISNEYLAND!!!!!

Grim, I love that picture. I hope I can get one like that with me and Mickey! Hi Dede !

Brittany and Stefanie after riding King Kong for the first time together in FL ever...

Tig OMG they are so cute! And now they're young ladies. I can't wait to mee them. And I love your little doggie, too. I wish we could have a dog, but we have too many reasons against it.

Lovely dresses, too. Spaghetti straps scare me. What do you use for support? I'd love to be able to wear spaghetti straps. Are you going to wear these dresses for dinner?


Nan! Your little prince and princess are dolls! A lovely family! And I'm so happy to be able to have a face to your name. Tell me, what does your DH think about your Dis habit? Mine thinks we're all , but he sees how mush fun it is, too. What would I do without my Christmas Cruise gang????

 

[nskjerven]

I'm almost done packing!!!!!! Just a few last minute things, clean out the purse, pack the medicine & camera yeah!!!!!

We're off to dinner and then home to relax tonight.

I told the kids that DH and I would take them to the beach Boardwalk tomorrow if they behaved at dinner and went to bed early...they bought it I'll have to let Paul know where this site is so he can keep you guys in the know about what they do when they find out tomorrow....

TTFN, off to chow,

Nan

p.s. Aisling, I think Paul, DH, is in heaven thinking that he has 5 days without the crazy freaks in the house. I think this is his first vacation in a long time. I better buy him some beer tonight, huh?

 

[grimgrinnin]

Have fun Nan!

Your exhausted overwhelmed cruisemate here...
I will send pics as soon as I figure it out...it is SOOO nice to put faces to names!
Nan--what GORGEOUS red hair your dolly has! Marcus got the curls (always the boys); the boys were both born tow-heads, but Marcus is brown now; Hailey always has been & Jack is still pretty blond. Hailey has long hair that she "wants to grow to her butt!"
We, too, are on deck 8 in a family suite, but not sure which room.
Grim--great pic!
All you Disney nuts--you're going to try & make me one, aren't you??!!
Well, class started yesterday. Was under the impression it was 2 intense weeks now, and 2 the end of July. WELL, intense means FOUR+ HOURS of homework a night AND 2 projects to complete during the 2 weeks off!!!!!! And it sounds like more of the same for the next round...I'm not sure I'm in it for that kind of workload. I don't want my entire summer consumed by this--but if I stick w/ it, it sure will be. (and next summer, too) They are paying us to do it (tuition is covered + we get a nice stipend), but I'm not sure my time, stress & sanity are worth it. It would be nice to have my Master's, but I am on the "BA+36/MA" level already, so I don't bump up on our salary schedule. And I don't need it--I just want to teach, not get into administration. SO, as my dad put it, whether I quit or not (if it's not about the summer stipends), it's about my pride.....and here I sit whining to you all instead of attacking the couple of hours of homework. I'm frustrated and just not sure what to do....
Well, guess I better give myself time if I am sticking w/ this...
If anyone is out there...advice would be lovely!
Soo sad I missed last nights' festivities!
Thanks, guys,
Kristin
Gee...do I sound as depressed as I think I do?

Kris, you may want to only teach now, but later on if you don't go ahead with this, you may wish you did. It does sound stressful, though. But you seem like a girl who can handle it...and still have time to play cards! I think you're doing the right thing, but please don't take my opinion too seriously, because only you know what's best for you.

Nan--what GORGEOUS red hair your dolly has!

I agree about the red hair!

We, too, are on deck 8 in a family suite, but not sure which room.

I hope you suite girls don't forget about us down on decks 2 and 6!

 

[Aisling]

I'll have to let Paul know where this site is so he can keep you guys in the know about what they do when they find out tomorrow....

Wonderful idea! And when you get back home, Paul will be a ! Now to hook Kris in! Oh genie of the lamp, grant this one wish and we'll set you free...that our pal Kristin become a full-fledged, official, fanatical, Disney-is-really-the-happiest-place-on-earth, WDW lover as the rest of us are.

 

[nskjerven]

I'm here on the last night before we leave giving Paul instructions on how to keep you looped....okay in the loop. You are all loopped allready. I'm afraid he will become one of you in no time as he is telling me how to edit my comments as I type....better not show him the past thread pages, huh?

Last

Kids are in bed (at least bedrooms) Molly asleep Wilson is trooling around making lots of noise (mind you it is 10pm here, and we leave at 5am) he is going to be such a CRABBY Boy, so glad auntie lee is coming, she gets to sit next to him, not me.

I'll tell Mickey hi from you all and I'll eat lots and ride lots and have lots of fun.

I'm on can you tell???

Wish you could all come with us....

last time :thewave:
