Christmas Cruising 2005

[nskjerven]

Tigg: Why did you have 5 Grims dancing on the end of your post. You know that this is Grim. I'm afraid I will have to take it upon myself to assign all of us icons. Grim yours is easy...the rest of us might be hard, or not....how about:

Kris @ Jazzercise

Me and Aisling, or Me and Karen, or Me and Kris or Me & Tigg or Me & Jill (any of the above in any combinations and whoever is running off at the mouth on whatever day)

our husbands in the middle of our conversations

Jill

Dede or Kris

Smash Mouth while singing Walkin in the sun...

(this is Wilson when he was 4) Why isn't there an Elvis or Speed Racer availble? Did I ever tell you about Elvis?????

All the little girlies....Molly, Hailey, Step, Britt, Kayla, who else????

Tigg, since she can always tell us how to do it on the Dis board

Lynn to get you here from long away England

:thewave: this is 3xcharm (get it, 3 kids and mom & dad make 5)

: Shelly this is for waiting for the baby....

Okay I really have to get some work done, if my client comes in my office and sees this post I'm a dead woman.....

fill in who I missed for me huh?


LY, mi

Nan

[nskjerven]

just me again, not working, but I had to say...did you see that wife's SIL is still with Brother???? I read that later in the posts, so sad...how can you not have a happy time at the Happiest Place on Earth?

Which brings me to a question????

If Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth, is WDW the Happiest Place in the Universe???

Man, I need to get a life huh?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

You need to get back to work!!!!!!

 

[domiii]

I can't stop talking tonight (ha, like it's only tonight)

I have an idea to bounce....do you like the thought of a wreath made of the Home Depot paint heads (lime green/dark green) as a door sign?

It needs depth, any suggestions???? Oh idea....how about pop dots behind them, Kris ya read me? Also, thinking of using some of that glazing stuff that makes it look wet....

feedback please.

Ok, you stole this from me, admit it!!! LYMI!

Actually we are doing the same, but different. WE are adding red, so there. Anyway, I thought of hot gluing them on a straw or styrofoam base. The cabin # is 7 1/2 inces in diameter. So make sure your base has a center hole that big and you can hang your wreath to encircle the cabin #!!

And Nan, you have to try these lettuce wraps to truly understand. I was on business in Denver when I was introduced to PF Changs. They have a website for a location nearest you http://www.pfchangs.com/location/loc_code.jsp?state=ca
Guess what - one in Oakridge Mall. Is that near you?? .... Anyway there is one in south Jersey and I was able to get my family there. They are hooked too! I acually crave them some times. It is almost a religious experience. Comercial over.

[tiggerwannabe]

Nan,

The list is up top-adding icons to everybody can be your job

I have to correct one piece tho-Stefanie is with an F not a P...she's an anal one about her name, thank her Mama

I updated the list a little, I'm gonna add photos to it later from my collection....did you all know I've been collecting pictures of you?

Ayup, I have...I'm keeping them in my cruise file. My favorites anyway.

 

[KKB]

I don't read ONE night, and I have SIXTY-SEVEN posts to scan!! YIKES!
Quick responses so I don't burn chicken on grill...
Grim, congrats, I hope
Narnia--never read as kid, love as adult (love to read to students)
Hurricane donations--our school collected over $1100 in 2 weeks! WOW! (very blue collar, 40% mobility rate)
Sorry, all, luxury cruise over WDW for me...I'm HOOKED!
Karen--I LOVE PF Changs lettuce wraps! W/ wonton soup! (great hangover cure)
Nan--funny w/ the icons!
Speaking of doc visits, I need to, too, to correct my mess of stomach. Live on pepcid/tums/prilosec!
Gotta finish dinner!
Check in later!
Kris

After Cirque, if it's not too crowded, PI is not too far from there.
Tigg
I sent a request to the tech board & Aisling is checking with her friend so hopefully I'll be in color sooner or later. aw: Jill

 

[nskjerven]

Kris: Do we really talk that much

Yes Karen, I crawled in your mind and STOLE IT. If you ask me nicely I'll return it. ha. Now about the styrofoam, how will you get it to stick? I thought we had to use some magnetic type thing???? Or of course I will be traveling with my husband and therefore a roll of duct tape, so I guess that solves my issue....

Oakridge is close enough, I'll head over soon, I hear the wrap are good huh? gosh I'm funny, and that's only my looks.

I just bailed on jazzercise to keep working, what kind of fool am I????

Gotta go in for dinner of some sort, I'll see you later either from here or the recliner and laptop....what's on tv tonight? Is it survior????? Did ya know I met Lex? gosh I kill me....

Yes, Tigg, I'll apply the icons, but how can we save that list in a spreadsheet and have them appear....that is your techno work for the evening.....

bye....ly, mi

[Aisling]

hopefully I'll be in color sooner or later.

Jill, and it'll be cool to see which posts of yours the TFs pick to add to your tag! I made my request, added a lot of and , so let's see what happens!

gosh I kill me....

Nan, you kill me, too! You're in a hilarious mood this evening!


I was starting to panic...a few minutes ago, I kept getting an error mesage everytime I tried to get on the Dis. Talk about cold sweats!


BTW, I called Costco, and they had no record of my email about charging my final payment. I bypassed all the prompts and just pressed zero for a TA, waited about 15 min., and took care of it. Grim, I'm glad you said you paid over the phone, or else I would never have called back. The TA said he didn't know anything about having to email to make final payments, but I swear that's what the recording said. Anyway, at the last minute I remembered the DCC code, told him, and he said "thank goodness", explaining that he was glad I mentioned the code because they're not allowed to volunteer the code information. You have to ASK for it. So I got $50 waiting for me on the Magic!

 

[nskjerven]

Aisling: good thing you checked on it, just in time too make your ressies????? you get to at 90 days or was it 75? I hope it was 90.

Yes, I'm in a strange mood aren't I....

I got the mondo big boxes of boxes today.

(I have the picture on my office computer) (I'll insert it later)

Tigg/Jill, I'm going to prefil 25 with our goodies, no reason to have to carry them out and then I'm able to check one thing off my list. Hey, I'm also going to ask those friends of mine at concerige to see if I can ship the box to WDW. If I can it's just one more thing for you not to have to pack in the car. It is a pretty big box. I'll measure it and let ya know the size just in case.


Sorry about the P, I'll make a note of the F. We had a nanny (that I hated with a PH, so I'm much happier to use F)

No Survior tonight, it's on Thursday, you'd think I'd have that schedule fixed in my mind. Lex love and all, huh?

I'm going to vegg for a while then back to work....

I was going to get a magnetic hook and hang it that way! Though duct tape now comes in designer colors, could be pretty.

You are in rare form tonight!!

 

[Aisling]

just in time too make your ressies????? you get to at 90 days or was it 75? I hope it was 90.

No, I'm a steerage passenger, and we have to wait until all of you upper class ladies and gentlemen make YOUR ressies FIRST! I hope there's something left for us dregs.

 

[nskjerven]

I'm telling you that Romantic Escape has paid for its way in no more stress and the early ressie. Aisling, do you think I could book another dinner at Palo's for you guys??? I'd try it if you like me to...what would the day/date and time be. I'm not below trying to weazle. (hey can DCL read this???) are we being bugged?

I MUST get back out to work, got sucked into the Biggest Loser instead of working, ha what a joke watch a show about people exercising & losing weight instead of going to Jazzercise, guess you can tell why I need to go to Jazzercise huh? only 5 more minutes to watch I may as well see who gets sent home, right?

okay, see ya later,

Nan

You know I have posted on the 'greatest tips' thread before and queried why duct tape. I don't think I ever got a good explanation. I still cannot understand why one would need duct tape on the cruise .... anyone?

DM and I were talking about her final payment today. She was concered we wouldn't get all of our reservations. I told her I would run around on the ship once we boarded to see what I could do.

She said, "You'll miss the party."
I replied, "No I won't. I have to party with 50 of my closest friends."
She retorted, "Don't forget your family."
Guess she told me! She must be jealous.

Deck 10 starboard, right?
