Christmas Cruising 2005

I figure the indo board will help my skating.

The original Indo Board is the perfect all around balance trainer for any sport where balance would be key, such as surfing, skateboarding, wakeboarding - in fact, any athlete would benefit greatly from Indoing! The learning curve is quick, and the Indoboard can be used by beginners to pros - there's always room to improve.

I understand trashed. Digging in closet - pulling out drawers.

I'm laying every thing out consolidating (if necessary) Had to find my suction cup hooks & holders for the bathroom. Instead of shoe bag holders I have folding zippered makeup type bags. They have a hang up hook & they are perfect for my vitamins, makeup etc, etc.

I can't imagine a flow chart for what I wear. I overpack & that way if I change my mind or want to change 3 times in one day I can.
Less clothes to wash, too.

I have my quarters for the mach & laundry stuff. Usuall y when everyone is partying is a good time to wash.

I guess Jill and Tig are next to leave tomorrow. Then Dede, Grim and Aisling and her crew leave on Friday. Kris, you and I are leaving on Saturday. Anyone else? Looks like Kris and I will be the only ones posting before departure!

Tig PLEASE tell me the chicken is in the cupboard. The Postmaster promised me it would be there yesterday!!!

Jill you still amaze me! I would break my neck if I got on that thing.

Still have shopping, packing frenzy is coming Friday! School Concert tomorrow night - Kayla has a solo. Department party Thursday at work. Packing and hysteria Friday and then a big with all of you!

We are wearing our shirts when we arrive in port, too. I'll be looking for you. The shirts we got for the family that were done with iron transfers ran. I am so mad, pissed, furious! One washed and dried perfectly. AND I followed all of the directions. At least DM will have a perfect family shirt!!!

Well the family is all packed. We are driving down to the Cape starting tomorrow afternoon. Dad wanted us to see the eastern seaboard so we are going thru Jacksonville and St. Augustine. We won't be in Cape Canaveral until Friday but that is ok, it is still WAY better than chicago weather! See all of you on the ship on Saturday!!!

Dede---Officially teachers have to be back Jan. 3!!!!! Luckily our principal took care of it, and I don't have to be back until Weds. w/ the kids (shortest break EVER!)
3X--you an educator, too! Isn't it wonderful to get a bonus--our school just won some community drawing for $7500! We aren't sure what to do w/ it yet...
Did NOTHING last night..that's OK, I am good w/ a deadline---so a few things MUST get done each eve, so I will be on it!
Well, gotta get kids in 5 min., need a pitstop first....
I'll check in tonight!

Almost done packing. I would say 92% done. Not bad for last minute. The hardest part will be getting on the road by 5:30 am. You would think it would be easy since that is the time I leave for work. Go figure.

Gotta go to the bank & the drug store.

I'll be lurking until bedtime.

 

[dclcruzer]

HEY EVERYONE! I CAN'T wait! I leave tomorrow! as I have posted before! Just TOO excited! hehe I just wish we could start the cruise tomorrow and go util next Sat.! Well I have to go finsih packing!

 

[trinibjill]

I agree - I would love the cruise now.

Well, I just finished packing. 2 days not bad

I'm sure I overpacked. Whatever

Too excited, probably won't be able to sleep.

See ya.

Jill

Tori, safe trip. Jill, Tig, Brit, and Stefanie, safe trip.

We're having a transit strike here, so this is a perfect time to get away!

Tori, Jesse will call you when we get to the terminal.

I want to be done with everything by tomorrow, and then have nothing trip-related to do until we leave the house at 5 AM for JFK on Friday morning.

We zipped up our first bag last night, and put the DME tag on it. I had Chad take a picture of me as I put the tag on. We're so corny!

Going to do some more packing. I think I'm in shock, I feel so calm!

 

[domiii]

Bye Tori!!!

Kris - did you get your shirt?

 

[minniegrl]

Hi all!

Jill~ I'm with Karen. I admire all your activities, but would break my neck on that thing!!!
I'm so uncoordinated.

Kris~ you're not kidding-that IS a short break! Don't they know teachers need more down time than that at the holidays? I'm glad that you were able to extend it a bit so you can relax after the cruise.

Tori, Tig, and Jill~ Have a great trip down to Florida and we'll see you in a few days!

Bye for now, all-SO much to do

Dede

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I got all the chickens - Karen - very nice ,, veeeery fra-gile

time has come
to say goodbye
to all my com-pa-nyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[trinibjill]

To Continue The Song

M I C K E Y M O U S E

Just got up, getting ready to go, See you all soon.

Jill

 

[KKB]

Kris - did you get your shirt?

YES! It is PERFECT! Of course NOW children want one...what sizes do you have left? Marcus could use a M, Hailey a S...but if I can't get both, I better forget the whole thing! FIGURES!

Ran a few more errands yesterday...3/5 were waste of time! Seems that the boxers I bought Marcus are too small...figures I washed them all! We did wash, got kid journals put together, Dan numbered Grandma calenders & shaved Jack's hair off--then I got a pic of him. Sad, third kid hasn't had a prof pic in 3 years! So thought I could do it myself at home, but my printer is being fussy. I got one good sheet, then they came out light. So I think I will run to Walgreens for $5/sheet tonight (one hour). Gotta get 2 Great-grandmas in mail tomorrow. (so need to get pics in tonight)
Also gotta get teacher gifts bagged tonight to deliver tomorrow. Always good w/ a deadline!

Nan--hope you are having fun!
Jill & Tig, Tori & Tyler--safe journey!
Keep packing everyone else!
Bye!
Kris

Kris - I only have 1 large, 1 xl and 1 xxl left. I have a feeling once people see them (mainly my family), I'll be placing another order. I may be wrong, but as you see they are really nice! SORRY!!! Please don't hate me.
