mornin guys....... 3 1/2 hrs sleep last night.... could be worse. I do not think my sister has gone to bed yet!!!

TWO MORE DAYS!!!! I am off to clean now and after 9 I am off to do all my last minute running around.Heidi comes in around 8:30 tonight so I have time yet. It will be a little squished here but we will feel the love!!!
As my DGD says "We're Going On the MICKEY SHIP!!!!!" I played my Disney CD to work and back last night!! OMG!!!! THEN... THE BEST PART!!!!! When I got to work a coworker brought me in a bag (wine bag) with a bunch of Mardi Gras beads (nice ones too!!!) hanging off it. She said that I am making all these surprises for everyone else and she wanted ME to have a surprise!!! Man.... choked at that one!!! (It takes very little these days. .. lack of sleep does that...). I told her I talked with Shirley and have all the baskets foor everyone and boy... that is what I am MOST looking forward to aside from the actual cruise... is the faces of everyone when they get their basket of goodies!!!! NO ONE is expecting it. Oh, no... the door signs has got me excited too!! Oh no... my FIRST FUN DRINK has REALLY got me excited!!!
OK... I will check in later, trying to figure if I should blow leaves or dust and vaccuum first!!! No... better go feed thwe squirrels as I am SURE my neighbor WON'T be doing that for me (she once had a bad squirrel experience!!! )

Karen - that is so sweet of your coworker, that was a very nice gesture!!! I bet your are so excited, hopefully you can get a few more hours of sleep. Once you get on the ship I am sure you will forget about how tired you are!!!! I can't wait to here about your vacation when you get back.

Robbie - thanks for posting a picture of Lulu's socks are so cool!!! Now I want a pair!!!!

Mom - how about adding another one to your household next weekend besides Sable????

Jrsy - you might want to cancel your trip out to TX to stalk me out there, I will no longer be going.

Chris's boss's, boss's, boss's, boss (aka big Kahuna at Coke here in Denver) called our house last night to say that there was a big misunderstanding and that guests airline tickets are NOT supose to be paid for by Coke to go to Dallas. They would gladly pay for the dinner and the stay (free to them anyway) but not the plane ticket. So if I wanted to pay $400 I could go, remind you that I just bought a brand new furniture set and I just don't have $400. Plus that could be used for a plane ticket to FL for my cruise, so very disappointed I declined and will not be going. No mini vacation for me that I was so looking forward to. Let's just say that I am very sad.

Forgot to add:

Selena - yes I did look online get cheaper and everything says sold-out or out-of-stock!!!! Maybe I will just suck it up and wait till the fall to get a better price!!!

Marcie - I actually didn't like very many of the guys. I like Ace and I like Chris a lot. Some of the other's did okay, but I wasn't overly impressed. Maybe it was the mood I was in due to finding out that I would not go to TX with Chris.

The girls (I can't remember any names) did well. I will pay more attention to names and tell you who I like and don't like. The girl that has the attitude, I wasn't impressed. And the girl that was a twin....she was horrible. I wonder who will get kicked off tonight.

Oh Heidi, I will have to get off the computer and call you. I am so sorry for your disappointment BUT come on over and we can have a slumber party!!

Karen, it is short time for you now! That sure was nice of your coworker. Did I ever ask if I can come too?????

Robbie, thanks for sharing the monkey socks!

I am COLD!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I forgot to add that I like the girls better than the guys. Guess I am always the oddball out! I like Ace (of course). I think it is his charm that will get him somewhere. Don't laugh but I like the last guy that has the gray hair. Oh and for girls, I really don't have a favorite yet. I like a couple of them but don't know their names. I DON'T like the girl with the attitude that is for sure!

I liked the guy with the gray hair too!! He was great.

Heidi, that just stinks.

Linens 'n Things shows King Size electric blankets for $150 and in stock on their website.

Dane is working in Lousianna today. He just called me and told me he went to a Mardi Gras store and bought some beads. Well, he found beads with pirates on them and bought them for pirate night on the cruise. He bought me a special one too but he says it's a surprise.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Oh wow Marcie, the beads sound cool. Let us know about the surprise one!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Chris just called me to let me know that his direct supervisor gave him a $100 American Express gift card for all the confusion/disappointment situation regarding Dallas. Come to find out they cancelled my airline ticket which happened to be non-refundable/non-transferable and in my name so Coke had to pay a $100 cancellation fee and I know have a $260 credit to use at American Airlines for any flight within a year. Hmmm, should I use that towards FL in September, or should I use that to go to Vegas and use the time-share vacation for a place to stay and then we would only have to pay for entertainment and food!!!!! Coke totally screwed up!!! Instead of allowing us to go in the first place that would cost them $360/guest, they are now paying $460/guest...makes sense to me. Looks like we made out in the end!!!!!

We were going to see if I could use the $$ and fly out there like planned, but my wonderful boyfriend was very nice and considerate and changed his plans to fly home a day early because he "didn't want to be out there alone, without me." All of the people changed their plans to come home early and now airfare to get out there the same time is $460. I think I will stick with FL or Vegas, I just couldn't see spending $100 of my own $$ plus Cokes $$ to stay one night in a fancy hotel!!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I guess it all worked out in the end!

Good Morning and Happy Friday everyone!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Marcie - what beads did you get???

 

[ImMarcik]

Good morning everyone!!!! He got me beads with the traditional colors, green, purple & gold and they have flip flops and palm trees all around them!!! I love them. He said when he saw the flip flops he knew they were me. He got Aerial Hot pink, green & gold beads with hot pink flamingos playing a guitar. Both sets look very tropical. His beads are very cool, they are red, black & silver with pirate skulls with red bandanas on them. He also bought a big bag of just traditional beads that we will never go through this weekend. I'm going to let Aerial bring some to school. Too bad we aren't in a parade throwing beads. Maybe I will bring some on the cruise to give to kids. I think we are going to try to get tropical dresses for pirate night and wear our beads and our blinking flip flops. I just have to order them. I found a site with Hawaiin clothes for a good price.

So...how about that idol show?

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

The beads sound cool!!!!!

AI - I agreed with the results and with the people that were kicked off!!!! I can't wait until Bucky gets kicked off, for some reason he just drives me crazy.

 

[dreamakermom]

My sister is here and I will busy from here on but I wanted to say bye to all!!! Can't wait to see their faces when they get the baskets and the door magnets!!! Everyoe loved all their Mickey (matching) gifts... which surprised me b/c of the older kids... but they DID!!!!!
Well younger DD just smashed her finget in the door.. gotta go! Bye guys!!!

 

[ImMarcik]

Awwww Karen I hope you have a magical trip. I have chills knowing your excitment. Can't wait to hear all about it.
