Christmas Cruising 2005

[minniegrl]

Hi All!

Aisling, strawberry blonde sounds great! Did you get it done yet? Do you like it?

I'm in the same boat as Tig....desperately need mine cut, but just can't drag myself there. I'm on Spring Break this week, though, so I have no excuse. Think I'll go to the mall today and look for maternity clothes....maybe get my hair cut or at least an appointment made.

Heard back about my NT scan yesterday...no increased risk of the baby having Down syndrome. Everything looks good We go back in about 3 weeks for another ultrasound...should know what it is then!

Oh Aisling, have a favor to ask, but will email you. It has to do with your trip to the World this summer.

Well, time for a snack and then off to the mall!

Hi guys!!!! Thanks Tiggie for blowing it up again....yes it is a pretty one huh? We'll know in the next few days if it's meant to be or not. Tomorrow we are going over to really snoop it and visit at the kids new school. Wish I had strawberry blonde hair too....no more haircuts, no more color, just a mortgage....no Disneyland for Easter...just a mortgage...will you come and visit since we are now trapped????

The ocean is within view by the way...from the master bedroom, living room, loft, front patio and guest room, not too bad 'eh?

cruise was not magical. the people were magical....I'll fill ya in on my NBF (can you figure that out) later, I'm going honk sku with the chicken now.

I'm working on getting there!

Next summer at the latest

Does NBF mean new boy friend or new best friend? I'm lost...

How did your scrapbook come out?

 

[nskjerven]

what scrapbook I spent the whole weekend talking.....
Like you didn't know that would happen

Actually, I'm going to send something to you all in a quest....

I have to get signatures from some of my famous Diser friends to complete the kids autograph books. I think I need....Tigg, Jill, the girls, Grim and Dede. I plan on sending the note to Tigg, can you please get Jill's siggie, and then forward to the AZ peeps then they can return to me....I'll include all envelopes and stamps and instructions.

We just withdrew our offer. The sellers are screwing around with the first buyer who can't get their money together and close and we are hanging out in the wind. I need to go cry for a while talk to you later.

[trinibjill]

Ooooooooohhhhhhhh, we are famous, she wants our siggie

You - talk

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Sorry to hear you had to back out of the deal

Real Estate is such a frustrating business

Send away my talkative friend...

You know I'm always willing to help

[minniegrl]

Nan - sorry about the house. The right one will come along...I just know it!

Hi all! Happy Thursday!

I'm proud to say that 4 years ago today I married the sweetest little Pumpkin on earth! Happy Anniversary, Grim!


Dede

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Awwww! Happy Anniversary you two!!!

 

[nskjerven]

he never reminded me of a pumpkin, I saw him as an eggplant....

what a dumb bad joke.....

went out last night with the school moms. I have some Bahama Mamas. Okay what's in those darn things...the first 2 were fine the last 1/2 of the 3rd wiped me out. I'm totally hung over.

Grim, what ya got planned for the day?

When are you in the new house? I know I keep asking but I can't keep it in my head.

We are back on for Dland at Easter. They are having an Easter Brunch with Alice (you know her the blonde from Wonderland). Should be fun.

We better drag myself to work.

LYMI,

N

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I had 3 Bahama Mamas once....

I was sooooo glad our packing was done cause I literally passed out after that

We were driving home from Orlando the next day and as I said...I was soooo glad I'd finished packing.

We've been so busy around here I almost forgot about Easter. We usually have a nice family dinner (lately at my sister's or her BILs house) and still do baskets for the kids. My FIL should be home from Florida by then. He's been living with his sister in Melbourne all winter. He wants to come home in time to do his taxes and probably to spend Easter with us. I know he misses being around the family, but doesn't miss the cold NJ winter at all.

Hey Dede! Got a belly yet? Pictures would be nice...I know your lil pumpkin has a decent enough camera he could send us some new shots of you two

~c~

 

[nskjerven]

OKAY GLAD TO (crap caps lock on) hear that I'm not the only doo-doo head on those darn BMs. I have a bad headache now...so silly....

Grim, maybe I can get my camera for my bday (next week, I'm 21 x 2 on Thursday) since we have no big old ugly mortgage. I think I'll go see if chicken will buy into that one. Right after I get my tylenol.

My New Best Friend.....NBF.... gets her new little one today....did I tell you that we met in the Dis on the scrapbook thread...she came on the cruise and lives only 1 hour or so away. I have to remind myself that you guys are a world away and get in the car and go see her, huh?

ok bye bye,

N

 

[tiggerwannabe]

There's no rule that says you're limited to any number of friends...

I'm glad you found another Disney nut, a little closer to you...Aisling is only an hour-and-a-half but life intervenes and keeps us from actually seeing each other.

I my Dis...it keeps you all very close, even tho you are so very far.

Happy Early 21st x 2 Birthday my friend!

 

[grimgrinnin]

Grim, what ya got planned for the day?

When are you in the new house? I know I keep asking but I can't keep it in my head.

I planned to let Dede cook me dinner and bake me a cake

I am, however, taking her to Cirque du Soleil Corteo Saturday in Scottsdale. We saw La Nuba on our Honeymoon

I wish I new when we were gonna close on the house
Everything's been delayed due to the cabinet fiasco.

[tiggerwannabe]

You still have time in your old house right?

When does that deal expire?

You are such a romantic, Dede's a lucky girl

~I know you'll have a great time~

I have to go get ready for my date...My John and I are going to a concert in Philly tonight. I like small venues and this is as small as it gets besides clubs...the TLA or Theatre of the Living Arts is on South Street in center city. Don't wait up for me....

 

[minniegrl]

You still have time in your old house right?

When does that deal expire?

Yup, we're renting month-to-month. It doesn't expire - we could rent forever! MUUUAHAHAHAHA!

I actually feel sorry for our landlord - he bought the house thinking he was going to make a quick buck with the insane real estate market here. We sold right at the peak. There are now 8 houses for sale on our block, and they've been there for months.

You should go for President's Day weekend! That's when all the cool kids are going...



grim

 

[minniegrl]

Crimini - I just realized I'm on minniegrl's computer. Those last 2 posts were mine, darnit!


grim

 

[nskjerven]

isn't president weekend's in the past? Thanks for the offer but I think we'd like to really be there instead of be there in our memories...

I figure next time we find a house I'll tell you after we've closed and moved in.

Wilson's game just got cancelled due to rain, so we are thinking of going over to HMB and bike riding in our what was supposed to be our neighborhood. Ya never know, maybe we can karma our way into that darn house.

Hope you guys are having a good weekend,

N (& chicken too)

 

[Aisling]

Hi Gang,

Nan, did you get my message? I left it on your cell phone when you were on the scrap cruise.

Tig, how was the concert? I guess the most important thing is not the concert but that you were with your sweetheart.
Speaking of sweethearts, Grim and Dede...Very Happy Belated Anniversary to you two!
And happy birthday to Nanette! My dear you are almost an old lady like me!

Guess what, we switched again from Poly to AKL to Poly to AKL. It's final this time, I swear. Nan, your advice please...did the concierge lounge ever get so crowded that it was unpleasant? Desperately holding my breath for your answer! I'm going to be so broke after this summer, but it's worth it. Don't spread this around, but Mel and I had a little shouting match the other day, and he said all he is is a money making machine. Well, to smooth things over in a smart-*** way, I made him a t-shirt with an iron-on transfer that says MONEY MAKING MACHINE...LUBE ME UP! I left it in his closet on a hanger with enough patience for him to find it himself. He saw it the same day, and well uh he didn't like it. But we made up, and all is well again!

Such a lazy day. Tig, so many times I'm on the verge of calling you to make plans for a trip down to see you, maybe do lunch or whatever. I think you work Saturdays? We could have some lunch, hang out in a park so my Jesse can have a few hours worth of fresh air. Spring is coming, but not fast enough. My toes are cold as I type this!

I wonder how Tori did with her volleyball. I really need to get Jesse involved in sports.

Now I'm going to call CRO to request bunk beds for our trip. Me, Chad, Jesse, and Louise...yeah we definitely need a set of bunkbeds!

LYMI XXXOOO

 

[nskjerven]

Aisling:

Never was it too crowded not to enjoy. Some times we waited a minute or so for a table to clear but that's only because we wanted a table rather than the couch or a chair alone, well worth it. Especially since you have a money making machine in your house

I got your call that day, just a moment too late, I tried to answer but my phone was buired. Sorry I haven't called back. We need to get our schedules together to coordinate a call, now that's funny huh?

We are debating about Dland, well chicken is. He wants to take Wilson go karting, which is fine Molly and I can Dland and the boys can fly down to join us for the later part and them help drive us home. I don't mind driving down, coming home is hard. We even talked about grand canyon, but doesn't seem like we'd have enough time to do it if we drive, Paul says 2 days down and 2 days back. Is it really that far? Oh well, if nothing comes up better I'm going to see the mouse. I haven't mentioned to the kids yet, but I'm thinking of getting them APs so we can go when ever we want and stay at the cheapo hotel for fun this summer.

looks like the beach is off for today, I'm still in my robe and Wilson and Paul are building a dinosaur some model kit thing. maybe Molly and I will go to the movies, Aquamarine is on our list.

okay going to surf ebay now....bye
