I could NEVER hate you! 'tis my own fault...you (me) snooze, you (me) lose!
Was gonna get workouts in, then CRACKED my head on shelf at work...headache is finally subsiding.
Hairdresser (barber? She is a she) gave Marcus a "cruising, girl-chasing haircut"!
He was grinnig so cute! OH, I AM SO NOT READY FOR THAT!(actually a fourth grade girl & he had a "thing" last year...yes, I have to teach that girl now. Luckily she is a nice girl...and it seems to have faded; but it was weird!)
Well, leftovers tonight...Pizza Hut tomorrow (free coupons)...maybe Cracker Barrel Fri. on way to Omaha. Gee, hope all my pants still fit!...surely I have some w/ elastic waists...!
I think I need to reread lists...Hailey is DYING to get things together for the cruise, but teacher gifts & grandma calenders take priority tonight!
Suppose I need to get Marcus to basketball, and get Jack's pics blown up
enlarged I mean!Bye!

I'm still here, hanging out with the last of the Christmas Cruisers!
Grim,Dede, and Lynn, message from Nan: if you can make it, she made a PS through concierge for Boma for 8:30 AM Saturday morning. She originally had it down for 9 AM, but she made it later so that we can eat, and then have time before check-out to go back to our rooms for a rest/whatever.
I'm leaving Jesse home from school tomorrow. He came home tired today, with tests and basketball, and said he wasn't feeling well. He can use a good rest before we leave. I have work until 2, then home for a quick tidying up of the house, then going over to see my friend Fr. Casey to get his Christmas cards out, then home for last minute packing. Early to bed, if we can. I have a feeling we're going to be too excited to sleep.
Karen, can't wait to see your fragile chickens!

Too cute! I hope she didn't give one to Dan!
Hi all! 
Grim and I are still here! I have one more day of school left and then we'll head out early on Friday morning. Really busy day tomorrow, like the rest of you, and I still have most of my packing to do.
We exchanged most of our Christmas presents tonight so that we don't have to pack them into our luggage. We still have a surprise or two for Christmas morning, though.
I'm so excited!
Aisling, we'll try to make breakfast on Saturday. I love Boma, but I also love to sleep and I'm afraid that I will not get much sleep tomorrow night. Then again, I also really love food, and it will be my only chance to eat at Boma this trip. Well then...guess we'll see you at breakfast on Saturday!
Too much to do to stick around and chat!
Have fun with your last minute details!

You don't realize how funny you are...Dan has a flat top! Not much can be done w/ that!
Had a weird dream that we got on the ship, and had not finished packing and left it all at home! Then I realized that we were on the Wonder, not the Magic like we were supposed to be! YIKES!
PROUD of our 1700 + 2000 posts...then noticed the 21000+ for a May cruise! WOW!
SO much to do here at school today....thank yous to kids for gifts...sub plans...and several other time consuming tasks....better go!

Hi all - off tomorrow!!! YEAH. 
Finishing last minute shopping after work. Packing Kayla tonight - she has school tomorrow! Then a quick visit with the inlaws.
Tomorrow is finishing door magnets/decor, packing and putting packets together for my sister and SIL. Then off to mom's to sleep (yeah right like I'll be able to sleep!), lights out at 8:30pm-9pm, up at 3am, 6:50 flight and time to meet my new friends!
Aisling the fragile chickens are from Kayla!

We head to Omaha to stay over tomorrow, too!
We ALSO have a 6:50 flight! But I bet yours is direct, and you get in earlier than us! We connect through Memphis, due to arrive in Orlando at 12:30, hoping to be on the ship around 2:00!! Weather looks good all around! Hooray!
If you have time, run through old posts...most of us posted pics at one time or another!
Well, only a few minutes left of lunch, wanna run through the DIS posts!
I'll check in later!

We are leaving tomorrow for an overnight stay at the airport Hyatt and then on the bus the 2nd most Magical place on earth.....Port Canaveral 
I have filled three suitcases and have yet to pack my clothes......I had better re-think this!!!!

I'm sitting here on my livingroom floor, surrounded by clothes and other packables. I've packed and repacked so many times.
We have to get up at 4 AM tomorrow morning. I was so nervous today, but I think it's just super-excitement
. I'm starting to really feel it that Mel's not coming with us. 
I heard from nan again today, and she said it's
in Orlando!
I hope to get to bed at a decent hour, but I really can't see it happening. I'll probably snooze all the way to MCO, and that'll suit me just fine, since flying is not one of my favorite things to do
I'll probably post in the morning before we leave, just to make it official that we have left the building!
Back to packing.

Tig--Thanks for the card! 
I am thinking of New Years cards this year...maybe w/ a family cruise pic??!!
Ran a couple of errands---BIG mistake! Met w/ the holiday crunch and it made me GRUMPY!
Dan pulled his clothes...Hailey filled a backpack to about 20 lbs...I convinced her that she did not need a hardcover book that she is almost done w/ (she was reading that one all summer!), multiplication flash cards, and SIX OTHER partially finished books! We cut her to 2, and a couple of thin workbooks.
Marcus is easy...gameboy & games. Was gonna get the old gameboy out for Jack...of course it has come up missing! I may need to run out for some Color Wonder items for hime!
Having a beer...might go download a few tunes to iPod...look over my lists, get a good night sleep.
Tomorrow...kids to school (only downer to having them w/ me...my school is about 20 min. away instead of 2 min. to neighborhood school!)...workout??...van serviced....PACK PACK PACK! I
Night all!
Safe journey in AM Aisling, Grim & Dede!
I'll chat w/ ya tomorrow, Karen!

Hi Cruisers!!!!
We're at AKL right now, just finished a visit with Nan, Tig, and their crews in the concierge lounge. (Thanks, Nan!) These people are so nice, friendly, we fit together like peas in a pod, and I can't wait for the rest of you to get here!
We haven't met with Grim and Dede yet. (You guys reading this??) I think they wanted to have some private time.
I'm on the laptop now...$9.95 for 24 hours of internet access.
We just got a notice slipped under our door...the DCL bus leaves AKL tomorrow at 12:30 PM.
Safe trips everyone!
See you tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're CRUISING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
