YEAH MBUCKLES--

You can now do the single digit dance.

Hope everyone is having a great day. It is very very windy here today. The roof of our office sounds like it will come right off. Maybe the wind can knock out the phones and I can go home. LOL! They have been very quite though. I'll be calling my boss and telling him to see if I can jet out of here between 4-4:30. Trying to get that paper done. Levaing a little early will help. Hope everyone that has snow already is staying safe. We had a lot of rain this morning. I said if it were snow we would have been in big trouble.

Have a great one.

Single digit dance happening here in Orlando!

Hey Mark......MBuckles
Doesn't your wife get suspicious with you on line so often??? She obviously isn't aware of the DIS life you have!! It would be great to be a fly on the wall to watch your plan in motion. I am really impressed with your planning for this special event for Angela.

Single digit dance!!

I'm online all day at work. Not necessarily "goofing", but since we're an Internet Service Provider and Radio company, we're most always in front of a computer of some sort. You'll notice that I'm around more during the day than in the evenings, but I will log on infrequently in the evenings. Angela and I do work together, but she's on one end of the building and I'm on the other. What's funny is that we don't see each other face to face much throughout the day, but there's usually a running dialog of email between our offices.

This week, I've been baiting her with questions. From time to time, I'll say something like "The Smith's invited us to their holiday party on the 14th, did you want to attend that, or should I decline?". hehe Ain't I A Stinka? :jumping4:

 

[thejenjens]

Hey MBUCKLES,

What would you do if she comes to and says that she has made plans for let's say the 17th Fri night? Are you prepared for that. Just curious. HE! HE! I know you'll have an answer because you are so well prepared.

I found out from her hairdresser today that last week, she said "I'm scheduling my next appoint for ___ date, but I'm sure if that doesn't work, Mark will work it out with you" haha She knows me too well. So what I'm trying to do is throw enough sly possibilities out there so she can't establish a range. She obviously knows that something is going to happen. I just want her to think that when the party gets here, that's it. I have her schedule, so if something lands on it, I'll be able to call and update it with the person expecting her.

OMG -- The excitement on this thread is palpable!
I have totally checked out. Nothin' matters except for gettin' ready for this vacation. I've been getting some questions for our DIS game. Thanks to those who have sent in. If you haven't it's not too late. Try a simple one like. What is my favorite color, what's my favorite restaurant on the boat, what's my cat's name, etc. See?? Not too hard, huh. You don't even have to tell me the answer!
BTW, We are in rooms 2105 & 2107. I guess we'll have a deck full of DISers. Can I come to the movies, too??

 

[thejenjens]

JWANN,

Of course you can...I wish we could see the movie times now and pick the night up front. How is your mom. I have the Diser right? I hope so. Hope all is well with everyone.
When will we get a list of the questions?

MBUCKLES--I forgot that you have a hand on her schedule. That is very good.

Hockey? Do they even play that sport anymore? (Sorry, I Had To) hehe

To my husband, hockey is the ONLY sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is about going through withdrawl without the NHL. Thank goodness for Michigan State spartan hockey.

 

[Pgood]

Jwann - Love to have you at movie night....and for that matter anyone else who would like to join in!

I can't concentrate on anything but this cruise!! I haven't started packing, but will after tomorrow. There's so much junk to bring!!

I am going shopping on Friday to buy stuff to fill the kids backpacks with for the trip, though with Hanukkah during the cruise they will be getting gifts anyway. I will buy some junk food for the airplane ride - those cute little candy gadgets that they are never allowed to have.

Speaking of candy.....I went shopping for some to put in their stockings (yes, they are spoiled and celebrate both holidays) anyone into mint flavor, there is a ton of stuff out this year. From mint kisses to mint kitkats (not sure how those would taste so I passed on them) and double chocolate york peppermint patties. It seems the candy choices get better and better!!!

Well now that I talked about candy and swore it off for 2 weeks until the cruise I have to go work out and get my mind off it.

Have a great night!!!

I'm game for movie night!

Is anyone else planning to decorate their stateroom door??

Also, anyone else on deck 7... I am thinking this might be where we end up this cruise, cause as of a week ago, I still had CAT 5 GTY.

I won't start packing until next Wednesday probably. I am hoping to really minimize the clothes this year. Also, gotta go on hard-core diet to lose what I know I will gain this cruise! Just thinking of the warm lava cake and creme brulee has had me gain 5 lbs!

Wow, single digit dance for us all now!

 

[DisneyFam5]

We are in #8560 and my parents are in #7063.

I don't think I'm decorating my door. We'll see if the DH is on the ball. Maybe he'll help the kids decorate for my birthday! I told him that in case he had something to put on the door he probably needed magnets instead of tape. Subtle enough? Actually, when we got our docs he was looking at the decorations and I mentioned that he could probably buy some at home and bring them, also. Unfortunately I take care of all the bills and a charge showed up that day from "The Ultimate Party" and I saw it. Now, will he get it into the suitcase?

Hey Smchan - should I be scared of you on this cruise? No hard feelings, huh? I feel guilty for not having more faith in my Illini!

<ugh> Hopefully that will be a WAKE up call for the Deacons. No hard feelings and don't be scared of me. I'm an easy going guy.

At least my cruise docs came today.

Here's my wife, Patricia, and me. Be sure to say hello, everyone. (Yup, we're sitting in Lumiere's! )

Sam,
Cute couple! Congrats on doin' the DOC dance
Thanks for the pic!
I can't figure out how to post one.

 

[DisneyFam5]

Smchan - I was just reading my allearsnet newsletter and a guy bought tickets this week for the "sold out" MVMCP on Dec. 17th from Ticketmaster!
Did you try them at all?

I just went and looked for you and it doesn't look good. It looks like you can sign up for e-mail alerts, though, in case more become available.

Hey, my Illini looked pretty darn impressive, didn't they? If only they can keep it up. When they are hot, they are just awesome. Unfortunately the opposite can also be true. Maybe it will finally be our year!

 

[Disneyfan37]

smchan-Glad to hear you got your docs.Great photo too.

Jwann-Of course you can join us for movie night,that would be great.Yes,deck 2 is for Disers<VBG>.

Everyone have a great night!

I agree. Very cute couple thanks mostly to Patricia. Lord knows what she was thinking when she married me - but I'm blessed by her so I treat her right. Next March is our 10 year anniversary but she'll be receiving her anniversary gift on the cruise. She has no clue so don't tell her! Shhhh! I'm thinking formal night to give it to her. Maybe I can recruit one of y'all to capture the moment with my camera?

Ticketmaster! Why didn't I think of that? I checked it out and they aren't offering tix for the 10th, but they do have them for the 17th. No worries, though, we'll visit post-cruise if I can't do MVMCP. I'll keep checking back with Ticketmaster. I did sign up for email updates per your suggestion. Thaks again for the tip.

The Illini will no doubt be #1 if they don't lose between now and Monday. They were very impressive.

OKay, here goes..

If it worked, this is a picture of my dh who is hamming it up with our favorite Wonder server - Steve from trinidad!

Edit: didn't work, I guess I don't have a www address to host my image
Bummer!

Edit: another try

Edit: though that try worked, it was a little scary....like an episode of COPS or something....so I deleted it

Shelley... We're on Deck 7.

Sam... Great pic... Shall I include it in the collage? I think Jwann is also sending one. (Or at least she's trying )
