Vicki-

I am so sorry major stuff is happening again at work. I had hoped it would have calmed down by now.

 

[PNO4TE]

Me too!

Thanks, Tammi!

I was about to hit "SUBMIT REPLY" with a L O N G brainstorming post but I think I already figured out where I want to spend the extra night in December.

One of my best WDW Christmas memories is of sitting in the Scat Cat lounge area in the early mornings drinking my coffee and listening to the Yamaha Disklavier player piano playing pre-recorded duets of holiday tunes. The software was recorded by two friends of mine and I would sit there reading and thinking of Shannon and Phillip. I want to start my trip this December feeling that way. So... off I go to book 12/21 at POFQ! After breakfast there (beignets... yum ) we can go on over to AKL and check in!

sounds wonderful. I would love to stay at POFQ again.

Vicki,
I hope work improves

Theresa... you wanted honest. I think the names could use some tweaking. Even if you changed the last name from Boarding to Board would make them more human-sounding. Does that make sense?

I heard another rumor that some chick in MD needs to get to the store and ultimately the post office.

Strange! I heard that same rumor about some chick in Michigan!!!!

All heck broke loose on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Clients complaining and escalated to upper management. That is the unfortunate part. Fortunately, it has made them LISTEN to the concerns I have been raising to them for months. That has been the reason things have been bad - I knew it would eventually come to this and at the same time I was hoping that I was wrong.

Look at me I'm in single digits.

Yay!

Vicki,
I hope work improves

Vicki, I hope you get things sorted out soon!

No word from Mom. DS tried to call her and now her cell phone is off.

Should be XL Air that's based in Spain.

Saw a report on another channel and it may have something to do with some rail/tunnel in some country?

I did ask for honest and reading on I thought you'd tell me to throw it out and start over I think the names are a bit over the top but that was the second and third names that popped into my head. (I have an odd sense of humor sometimes!!)

 

[babytrees]

Elizabeth- I am sorry you can't reach your mom right now

 

[babytrees]

I put my thinking cap on and changed their names to Jake and Bob Snow...more normal sounding names at least to me. Almost went with Vail and Aspen, as I've taught kids with those names...but nobody would believe me.

What were the first?

 

[babytrees]

What were the first?

Wave was one of them. I swear my kids should be thankful that I wasn't feeling "creative" when I named them

 

[bethbuchall]

Guess what I got today?!?!?

Our Disney Cruise Line Documents!!!


Oh yea, and some boxes!

One of those boxes looks familiar! The PO works fast sometimes, I guess. There was a small envelope that I forgot to enclose before the box was taped. I shoved it in through one of the cracks, so please look for it if it isn't readily visible.

YAY for the DCL documents!!!

Wave Board.

Hmm...how about Boogie? or Surf?

Then you would have to go with a beach theme.

Wave Board.

see, those were in the mix too.

I hope that you hear from her soon, Elizabeth, and that she is feeling better!

I like those names much better! They are cute and in context but not so obviously made up.

Hi, DDA,

I'm sorry to jump in and jump out so much, but I'd like to ask for some prayers and PD from the DDA. Please, please be praying for the greater Houston area with Hurricane Ike imminent. Fortunately, my parents and brother evacuated and made it to our house late last night, but Jonathan's parents (who are in an area like my parents that was under a mandatory evacuation) are going to ride out the storm at home. Jonathan's brothers, their wives, and children are also going to ride out the storm, although they're further inland and won't bear the brunt of the storm surge. The area Jonathan and I are from, though, and where our parents still reside, is only 20 miles from Galveston, and very close to the Bay that will fuel all the storm surges.

If I could ask for prayers and PD to fly my families and friends' direction, I would be most appreciative. I will check in this weekend, and let you know how they fared. It's going to be a long night....

On another note, Jonathan and I are well, had a great cruise (go figure, with hurricanes all around us), and had a wonderful time at the first MNSSHP last Friday. I'm back to getting my hiney kicked at work, and probably won't see another light at the end of the tunnel until early October. I miss everyone, and will look forward to the day I can get on here daily once again.

Thank you, so very much, in advance for any prayers and support. I hope everyone else is staying healthy and dry!
