December 13, 2008 Western Caribbean!! Let's get acquainted!

[friendw/boys]

Alright, alright, I'm posting. Thank you Andrea for posting my FE and for helping put it together. I am no Martha Stewart by any means but it will work. I am actually quite proud of myself as I have not sewn in about 3 years. By the way I realize I didn't mention this the last time but my family consists of my DH, DS (9 at time of cruise) and DS (5). The little one woke up in the middle of the night last night and said he didn't feel well. I of course in my groggy slumber didn't believe him and sent him back to his room at which time he proceeded to throw up all over the hallway . Needless to say I felt really bad and now really tired .

Well, I am off to the USC vs. Ohio State game.....Go Trojans

I would love to see other FE if anyone is done.

WELCOME Debz

Mandy nice FE!I think I need to personalize ours just a tad, it looks naked. Is that a PUG in your avatar? We have friends is upstate NY with the last name Goodrich. I hope you are feeling better.

Marcy, DS and I had a great time at MNSSHP, he rode space mountain for the first time. (4 times) LOL
I still can't get him back on Splash mountain though, he just doesn't go for that 50' drop... We ended up with about 8lbs of loot. That goes well with my Jenny Craig! The Boo to you parade was perfect as always. I felt bad for the performers as they were dripping in sweat from the humidity here.

Thank you for the info. on the Quest area. DS would probably like that as he loves anything that involves a computer.

Last night we never waited more than 5 minutes to get on any of the rides, which was wonderful. I think going earlier means less people. I know that halloween night is sold out. Too many people just rattles my nerves.

We use to go to MVMCP but it just has gotten so popular and I don't like the crowds so we don't go anymore.

Hi everyone,

We bought a cat 9 and got upgraded to a cat 5 because the TA cocked up! We are really pleased with our allocated Stateroom.

Welcome DebZ!
I have to ask, what happens when a TA "cocks up?" Pardon my American English!

We should have a meet on the first day, if nothing else to organize another meet for wine tasting or the like, and to get the kids face to face.
I will be encouraging my DD11/12 to post up or email others soon. She had so much more fun last time when she had other girls to hang with.

Mandy,

I just saw we both have 5yo DS. Daniel is good to go as long as he has toys with wheels. What does your son like to play? It will be fun to get them together.

Debz,
You and I are on another board, but I'm glad you're here. I look forward to getting to know this group. I'm coming in from California.

I was shopping for pirate costumes and was reminded, "Costumes are on sale now, but they go down in price in November."

Michele,
How are you doing? Are you still all banged up?

I got the Palo Brunch ressie for DH, DD, and Myself on the day we wanted and also Palo dinner for DH and myself Sunday night...Sigh of relief to know that is done!

 

[PenskeSth1]

Mich-
The DIS podcast team had nothing but GREAT things to say about MNSSHP!
I hope you had fun too!

We are going to MVMCP on Dec 7th... sure hope that one lives up to the hipe too!

Marcy, We really enjoyed MVMCP, it just has gotten to popular (therefore very crowded). They have so much going on in different parts of the park it is hard to decide which activities to hit. They use to take your family photo and send it to you free, I don't remember if they still did this the last time we were there. They give away hot chocolate and cookies too! (DS loved the cookies). The show in front of the castle is one you definitely don't want to miss.

Yeah! I'm so glad it worked out for you. Dave did you book Palo because you can? You had to book SOMETHING!

 

[Stinasmom]

OK, no fair.
I didn't get to book ressies last night because we had friends over for dinner and now this morning the DCL site is not working!
I just got off the phone with them and they said to keep checking back through out the day.
Sheeesh!

So, this is me...
Here's to the I-T guys at Disney...

Hi everyone,

I'm Debz from the UK. Myself (45) my Mother (75) and DS (10) will be sailing with you all on 13th Dec. Really looking forward to booking excursions this weekend.

This will be our 4th cruise. 3rd with DCL, we have also sailed HAL.

We bought a cat 9 and got upgraded to a cat 5 because the TA cocked up! We are really pleased with our allocated Stateroom.

Can't wait to get out there now. Really fed up with the continual rain here. Are you having a meet and greet?

If so, could we attend please? Speak soon Love Debz

Hi We are from Kent and party of 6 on the cruise also.

Thanks Michelle. My poor house and family were on hold for close to 2 days while I did my little project. I had to assure my DH that I would promptly finish the pile of laundry and dishes that didn't get done while I was focused on my FE. The t-shirt transfers work really well to personalize things. It's really simple. I can't wait to see some other FEs.

I do have a Pug in my avatar. His name is Hank and you can ask Andrea, he is my little baby. Very spoiled. I was thinking about putting an iron on patch of Percy the pug from Pocahontas on my FE to represent him but decided against it.

I am not aware of any Goodriches in NY but you never know. Not a very common name.

Hi Katherine,

I do have a 5yo DS. He just started Kdg. this year. How about your DS? I'm still trying to learn about everyone so is he your only son? Ben thinks he's older because of his older brother and older friends. He loves superheros and Pokeman. I think an introduction is in order.

 

[Stinasmom]

Well, it was like slogging through molassas, but I managed to get all of our Palo, spa, and excursion reservations into DCL's system!
Got all the times I wanted and everything!

Hey Brenda (Skallywag)-- Didn't you just get off the Magic on the eastbound repo through the Panama Canal? Wow, after 14 days, to think you get another 7 in December! Lucky!!
How was the repo?

Hi all,
The reservations page seems to be working great now...

Just did brunch as the last two dinners weren't that great, especially when the waiter is trying to push wine at the next table at $100.00 a bottle.. He lost $$$ not me, the longer we waited for something the less $$$ he got..
I hope he sold a lot of wine that night..

Hope you all get what you needed, there still seems to be plenty of ressie's for dinner...
Have a nice weekend,
gg

Lucinda where do you find all those sweeps? DH and I never win anything.

Well I managed to make a FE, I surprised myself and it turned out ok. Mind you it is nothing fancy, but I at least wanted to give it a try. I will post a picture later.

Andrea I don't know what happened to my boo, But I got a blank picture that said I used the wrong link.

Now I will bore you all with my incident that happened tonight. I went for my walk tonight like I always do and TWO pitbulls attacked me! I tell you it scared the death right out of me. One minute I am walking and then all the sudden I am getting slammed into by this huge (at least 80lb male) I screamed! He tried to knock me off of my feet. I smacked him in the head with one of my hand weights and he backed off. As soon as I started walking away him and the female came at me again. I screamed again (NO ONE came out to call them off). The male scratched the heck out of my legs and he was foaming at the mouth. I will probably have a bruise on my leg where he slammed into me. I just know if I would of fell they would of attacked my face. Luckily I didn't panic and run (that would of been the worst thing I could of done) I swung at both of them the second time they came at me. I have been waiting on the Sheriff's Dept. to show up. NOTHING YET. I swear you have to be bleeding to death or have a arm ripped off before they take action. Geesh... I feel I am pretty Tough, but I have to tell ya this scared me.
These animals should be fenced in or chained up in my opinion. I keep thinking what would of happened if that were my 70lb. son. They would of killed him!

I have been sweeping for a couple of years through this site, I have won over 40k in prizes in three years, this is a really good site to use, I pay the premium to join though for access to the better sweeps

OMG on the dog thing!! Glad you are ok!
