Christmas Cruise 2005!!!

[trinibjill]

I think they like to play with the icons to see if they can drive us craxy. (see I can't even spell) I had the old ticker it was taken away. Now we have the newer one _ it's gone & the old one is back aaaah

When my mother decided to move in with my aunt we had a garage sale. Now I would rather give it all away. Tooooo much work.

I have a MP3 great for walking. Don't have an Ipod but I do have one of those PSP's , awesome.

Well, projects for today are wash the trike & some more paint removal from the kitchen cabs. (bit off more than I can chew) Whatever, yada yada yada

Hi Cruisers!

Happy Humpday! [size=-2]it is Wednesday right [/size]

The wizard lightup hat is Moms-if she brings that, I'll bring my 3-d MGM glasses-pretty cool effect when we put the two together.

Tiaras and headbands all around...

Mom! Nan says the chicken is in the henhouse...

That's skjerven family speak, it means she got the hats

(it's ok that you called at 11:45 Nan, really-I was still up)

I'm thinking we need to adapt our PPC club name to include some of the guys...

Pampered Pirates for the guys?-you all know why Grim should be one and I'd like to induct Nan's Paul into the group...he's such a doll, he lets his wife and kids go to DL on a whim...consider this your official invites to become members guys.

You hereby have earned the right to relax, live, pamper and enjoy your time on the Disney 7 Day Eastern Cruise for Christmas 2005!


My question for the day...

I read in the passporter that game contestants are chosen by seat-they said to sit in an empty area cause they choose whoever's closest to the empty seats chosen to play...someone clarify this for me please.

 

[trinibjill]

Yes, this is true. I sat in the middle - there were not very many on either side of me. I was picked to play "Who wants to be a Mouseketeer"

 

[grimgrinnin]

Pampered Pirates for the guys?

Why do i picture a man with a peg-leg, eye patch, and a diaper?

I proudly accept the honor, and raise my jug-o-rum! *hick*

My question for the day...

If you sit in the middle of the row, and there's no one between you and the isle, if they pick one of those empty seats they will move inward until a seat is filled.

How'd you do???

I got in the hot seat once at WWTBAM in MGM. It was nerve-racking!



grim

 

[trinibjill]

Well, It's kind of cool sitting in the seat. But, the audience becomes a blur. I got thru 3 questions & got a $40 credit. When I left the stage I left the theater. But, the coolest part was thruout the next few days people recognized me from being on stage. I guess it was a small taste of what it's like to be a celebrity.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I'll have to change that title for you guys...I hadn't thought of that

It's actually pretty funny...

I've tried to get in the hotseat

I take newbies to the theatre, teach them how to play (some who have been many times did not know about WWTBAM!) Work my strategy and whump---nothing

I've made it to the top ten board twice

WWTBAMousketeer is on my list of must do's!

I know Mom and Britt and Stef will play too!

Ooooh! I'm having so much fun building this itinerary!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Talked to Nan again...

~She's tired and happy and on her way home~

Sounded like the perfect "I wanna keep my sanity" trip.

I looked for the AP rates Nan but WDW.com is giving me issues
If there is a discount to be had I can find it for you.

It does look like the AP rates stop on Dec 19th and go into holiday rates-pretty much keeping your hotel costs the same as you already have.
Hopefully your Travel mouse can help.

~TTYSoon~

I bet you check in as soon as you get home


Only two more days...

Garage sale is coming along nicely...I am probably 24 hours ahead of my usual schedule. If I didn't have the summer off, I would NEVER do one of these things! My accountant says not to, simply donate it all and take the deduction...more than I could get at the sale. But that cash in hand is SO nice!
Is an iPod just an MP3? Did I succumb to marketing and think that it is THE one I need?? Have loaded a lot of music on the computer...haven't had time to mess w/ the iPod yet.
Well, pretty pooped. Need to organize/price toys in AM when no kids around. Hailey is actually dealing w/ it pretty well. Jack is at that age where everything is special and he wants to take it all back in the house! This is why I do a Fri. AM sale...he doesn't miss it once it is gone!
Night night!

[Aisling]

Grim, how do you feel about finding a word to replace pampered for you pirates? Mel had the same image as you, and he said he refused to be called a pampered pirate!
It works for us princesses, but for you guys...hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kristin, yes an ipod is just an mp3 player. I got a pink mini for Christmas. I also have over 1000 songs on my laptop, mostly for work, but I hook it up to Chads woofer and my fav songs sound great. About the ipod, I like it that you can record voices on your pc and then transfer it to the ipod. When I flew to Orlando last year, before I had my xanax, my friend Casey recorded himself speaking hypnotic suggestions to help me relax, and I listened to it on the plane ride down and back, on the ipod. You're going to enjoy it, if you love listening to music.

Hi Nan, Tig, and Jill! Tig and Jill, are u packed yet? Nan, are u unpacked yet??


I see a red x in my siggy. Does anyone remember what I had there that's now gone? I can't remember!

 

[trinibjill]

Hi Nan, Tig, and Jill! Tig and Jill, are u packed yet? Nan, are u unpacked yet??


I see a red x in my siggy. Does anyone remember what I had there that's now gone? I can't remember!

The rex x - they took away the sig. I clicked on properties & it said it wasn't being used anymore.

Soooo I figured I would use their smileys.

I probably won't pack until tommorrow. If I pack early then I wind up unpacking to see if I put what I want to take in there. Crazy logic but it's mine.

Tigg - I read the discounts for the AP & there are quite a few; but, I din't see any for hotels. I'll bring the brochure over tonight.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Yes, an MP3 and iPod are the same...

I have an iRiver, mine was a gift. As long as it serves your purpose and can use it, it was a good choice.

How innovative what you do with yours there Miss Aisling I would sooo love to meet Fr Casey, he sounds like such a good friend.

The red x - they took away the countdown line.

It was your v50.net countdown timer-I'm assuming the DIS disabled the program-only the Techs could tell us why

I am still gathering items to pack

Suitcases all over the livingroom, three different lists of items we need to remember, skimboards and boogie boards also in my living room...tonight I will gather and wash all my clothes and towels I need. I even gotta pack the Dog's bag She needs her leashes and bowls and clippers and food and water...you get the idea

I just completed payroll so as far as I'm concerned my vacation has begun

See you tonight Mama!

My FILs 65th Birthday is today~so if I'm scarce this evening, that is why.

I will be online as much as possilbe on Friday, we leave Saturday morning

 

[nskjerven]

I'm bacccckkkkkk...(didn't I say that last time???)

"The chicken is in the cupboard" (not the henhouse) (but yes, it was almost midnight...what a freak I am to call you at that hour... ) I was so in my little Disney world....I'll mail them out next week.

I'd love to stay and chat today, but I'm such a loser that I forgot I had a bank reporting deadline on Sunday 7/31 and we're headed downtown for the weekend for the San Jose Grand Prix at 6am tomorrow We got a suite at the Fairmont, should be fab

Kids staying with us one night (friday) then going to MIL/FIL over night we are taking friends to the race with us on Sat & Sunday. Should be a blast.

Have any of you seen any press on this race???? It of course is all over our local media, but it is a big deal here to close off downtown for a weekend.

Gotta run to you all,

Nan

p.s. I'm planning allready another trip (to Dland) for the fall/winter (can you believe me, I'm really a freak) (I think it will be for Paul's bday, ha ha ha ha ha )

p.s.s. Tigg, travel safe. If yo're call me, or if I'm I'll call you...not at the midnight hour again I promise....


p.s.s.s. I'm trying to get Paul on the thread....he says "it's a black whole time suck" What does he think I spend too much time dising???? Grim: He'll be in the club and joining with a rum and coke (hick)

 

[nskjerven]

from one bean counter to another.....

YIPEEE!!!!!! PAYROLL is done & posted...

I so know how that feels...

Have fun, and don't clip the dogs toe nails on vacation, they are on vacation, not at the spa....

 

[KKB]

Enjoy your time, Tig. And enjoy your weekend, Nan! Jill, where are you headed? Have fun, too!!! So, Jill, are you the only DCL alumni here?
Aisling...I would really have liked a colored iPod, but I bumped up to 20MB. I want the Bose docking system, but is another $300...but I think I will need it. Once you go Bose, there is no turning back...
Garage sale is basically set up! Even had my first sale! $2 for backpack to neighbor boy. I am pleased. It should do well.
It is nice to relax. Tomorrow I have a mani/pedi and man, to these tips & toes need it! YUCK! Sat. Dan & I have a date. Then I have 3 crazy days to get scrapping stuff ready for CKU. I have 5 pages plus a card to design, then I need to recreate each of these 5-12 times. A bit of work, but I will get a wide variety of designs for my work!
Tuesday Morning has 2way radios for $15...wouldn't these be nice for the cruise? But wouldn't there be crossing of channels? Or are there enough channels that everyone on the ship is OK?
Well, off to download

 

[trinibjill]

Kris
I think you'll have to check with Tigg - she keeps the records. I believe there are a couple more that have either cruised or DCL'd.

Sat morn I'm headed to DW for 2 days then on to Pensacola for skating Nat'ls then head back & join Tigg for a day or two & then come home & back to work.

Nan
welcome back.

Later

 

[FletcherMem0rial]

Welcome Back Nan!

I will definitely make time to call you on vaca---8 am my time right

Kris-Grim, LynnTarrant and my Mom are all experienced cruisers...there are more but they don't visit our thread as often...Lynn promised to be back after her current cruise.

Good luck with your sale tomorrow...

I have two way motorola's with sub channels-the main channels tend to get to get really busy (at WDW anyway.) The sub-channels work well for us.

Nan, I hafta take the clippers, for my puppy it would be for an unexpected emergency, but my friend Rose's puppy needs a clipping and John promised to take care of it for her. Rose's puppy is names Gwen, she's part chihuaua part jack russel terrier. (Shaped like the Chi, colored like JR)

Have a great time at the race, no, no promo on it here ...

 

[nskjerven]

oh clippers....duh....I thought toe nail clippers you meant sheering clippers...we have Border Collies, no hair cuts for our girls, I just didn't get it

Kris: Good luck, may the force be with you, yada yada yada. I love going to garage sales, but hate having them....More power to ya girlie.

Got my work done, now time to unpack & pack and grocery shop, down load the camera from trip, then hit the hay....(btw, the kids are unpacked and even laid out clothes & swimsuits allready for me to pack again)

Talk to the left hand cuz the right ones going to bed.....(did that sound like Genie??)

Nite, nite,

Nan

 

[FletcherMem0rial]

I never said nail did I

My Akita can't be sheared-I never thought you'd think hair...

Dad's birthday was last night, all his friends incl my Mom had a pleasant evening...I did good Mama?
