DIS-Functional Wonder Peeps 7/20 & 7/24, 2008 PART II

[CamColt]

OMG! I totally forgot about my dream the other night until you just said that Annie. I saw YOU in line at a bar (just a little stand, like the ones they have up sometimes on deck 9 I think). It was either on the ship or a beach, Im not sure. But you had on the same bathing suit I just bought for the trip.

Thats part of my plan today too, try to get a little more color. But right now the clouds are covering the sun. Whats up with that???

Gotta run to the mall for PJs, socks and Nail polish remover, then I think I have everything. I also have to run to my parents house to start printing out the pictures I have on my camera that need printing before I clear them out. Yes, my sister and I bought my parents a printer for Christmas one year and we use it more than they do, LOL! For big orders, like trips, I find it easier to order on line, but when its a few here and there, I just print them out.

I should get going on the errands and hopefully the clouds will break by afternoon.

Concert was great last night!! My friend and I had 5th row and i had such a blast!
(maybe because this year I weighed less than last 2 tours and could dance!!)

Tzm an Ophie met us there and we had pre-cruise food festivities in the back of the Edge!!

I tried to pick up my dress yesterday, but a few of the pearls needed to be restitched and she is going to take in a Disney shift dress I bought for T&O's wedding trip last year but never wore...she is taking in 3" on each side!!

Cut and Color today so the final countdown begins...this time next week we will be loading the car!!

oh..and I had a mild panic attack yesterday...my friend is staying in the room that I had all the luggage in so I pushed everything to the corner out of the way....while showing her the wedding stuff..I COULD NOT FIND MY DOCs OR BIRTH CERTIFICATES!!!! Tore apart the whole room until finally they appeared....

I don't need this!!!!!!!

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Annie: please to be sharing magic setting on PSE that makes pictures print all prettyfuler. Need to be printing tonight.


Watched the Weather Channel for a few minutes yesterday (do I know how to have fun or what?) and the forecast is for continuous rain all over FL until at least Thursday. Heavy rain. Um, excuuuuuuuse me!!!!! Do they NOT know we are coming??????

And it's cloudy and cooler here with no lay outable weather. Having a hard time believing it's the middle of July. (I know RJ and Gertsy believe it beeg time though)

SE:


Bets: have fun at your second concert tonight.

 

[CamColt]

Sounds like a fun time, Betsy...despite the heart attack.

Cheri, on the pod cast a couple weeks ago Pete was saying how not only are they having the usual afternoon storms, but they seem to be sticking around like all day. I figured the pattern would have to change by the time we get there, but now I'm not so sure.

Speaking of STOOPID weatherman, it got nice while I was at the mall. I came on, sunscreened myself, went and sat out and its been cloudy ever since. What happened to a beautiful day????

 

[Anal Annie]

Cheri - I have been experimenting with the print & paper settings in PSE...once you select "print" then another window opens where you tell it the kind of paper you're using (of course my EXACT one is not a choice 'cuz I bought this "Premium Presentation Matte" paper but so I am also futzing with THAT choice) but there's also an option to select the type of "color management". I have decided for ME, with my old printer etc. that it is best to choose to let "Photoshop Elements handle Color Management" as opposed to "no color mangement" or "letting the printer manage". This printing process has been quite a chore. NONE of mine have come out printing the same way - even if I try to use the same settings - there's ALWAYS a white margin around it. Sometimes the pic is centered & sometimes it's over to the left (even if I select "Center Image"). I went to Target & bought a cheapy little paper cutter thingy in their scrapbooking aisle to trim them up a little before I get them laminated. I haven't tried that out yet. I am expecting it to be as much trouble as what you would expect for a $10 paper cutter!

Curses on the weather forecast - I am taking a 3 day supply of disposable 97 cent rain ponchos from Walmart's camping aisle!

CamColt...your clouds are drifting down here now! I was going to go out but the sun keeps toying with me!

 

[CamColt]

ARGH!!! How about if we take the clouds now and trade off for 10 beautiful days, beginning Thursday?

 

[Anal Annie]

OH CamColt dearest!! YoooHOOO! Time to be finalizing your "beverage" list for me! (Well, by Tuesday anyway so I can get the order to them on Wed!!)

Anybody else need a pick-up?!

 

[CamColt]

LOL! I was just thinking of that today when DH made a packie run. I'll go for the hard stuff, LOL! its easier to carry on. If you could get us a bottle of Kaluah and a 12 pk of Sam Adams that would be most excellent. I have my fancy shmancy vodka in the plastic bottle ready to go. Now I just have to remember to stock up on milk at the buffets.

Let me know what I owe ya. Thanks so much!

 

[Anal Annie]

CamColt...any chance you know what SIZE bottle of Kaluah you want? I am going to get the 750 ML (a fifth) of the Capt...but there's a smaller size too of most of the liquors (a pint maybe). You thinkin' a fifth or smaller?

So...I am STILL futzing with the printer and have not started packing! I DID lay out from about 3-4:30 tho (but could use more time turning over onto the other side)! My cheapy little paper cutter IS EXACTLY the pain in the butt that I anticipated and I cannot find my receipt to return it.

 

[SueEllen]

ahhh...things are TRYING to get back to normal here. Trevor is starting to feel a little better. Still not 100%, but better than he was doing. Neck is still sore, and eyes hurt, but throat is feeling a bit better.

Me--well, the MRI came back good (thank GOD for that) and the steroids are helping the headaches, so that's good too.
RJ--I think that maybe it is the cluster headaches based on what I read, and it seems that these steroids are definitely helping (even if I cannot sleep with them.) Ahhh...just to get better for the cruise please.

I have to find our passports, get our things together, finish clients, update emails, clean the pool, pack, get the kids straight, finish FE gifts, um....hmmm...anyone have more hours they can lend to me?


Looks like everyone is getting into the home stretch. I cannot believe it's almost time for the fun!
No ironing for me--so I'll be another one with the wrinkled clothes (or else you'll see me spraying my entire bottle of Downy wrinkle release everywhere!)

No rain in FL--okay guys....no likely the rain. We've had enough of it here this last week again, so no advance sun action for me to get some tanning done before going (wait--that requires time, which I seem to have a lack of lately.)

See you all soon--and I sent an updated email as Cheri's chart had us in the wrong stateroom. Not a one in it--it's a ZERO.

(hugs everyone--see you soon!)

[Betsy's Mama]

This time of year, it always rains in the afternoon in Florida-this is our rainy season We just live with it because they don't usually last long but the part I don't like are the thunder boomers that usually come with them. Not my favorite thing.
I am dropping things into my suitcase as I think of them and have all the clothes hanging in the closet in the room that I want to take. My passport and docs were the first thing I put in there
I am going up to Betsy's Thurs. so I can pick Katy up for her since she has things to do after work. Now I have to pack for the two days there separately from cruise packing. Help

 

[CamColt]

OK, are you ready peeps???? THIS week we all go!!!! WE can officially say THIS week!!!!

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

SE: if no one is in 7120 (where I had you listed) ... if you just hang your fishy there, we can still deliver gifts there and therefore my graphic will be right, right?

Anne: the Weather Channel is reporting (along with the DIS podcast) that the rain showers are lasting all day. Now, I don't mind an hour of rain but all day? Me no likey, expecially since we won't be allowed in the pool. We swim in the rain here - but lightning and thunder happens once every two years.
(are my wittle toesies going to be cold walking around the parks wet in the rain?)


Official shoe count: 9
Bathing suit count: 4
Being a female type, I reserve the right to increase as I see necessary.

3 more loads of laundry and I'm finished.

PS: ironing ... I think I know where my iron is... I made the fishys with it. I'm supposed to use it on clothes? Huh! Who'd a thunk it!

 

[Anal Annie]

CamColt - this is me: doin' the Happy Dance!

(psst - what SIZE bottle of Kaluah do you think you'll be needing...small, medium or large?!)

OK, so we get to the Relay Carnival early to help set-up...thinking that DS is only scheduled to swim the 2nd 50 meters of Event #1 which was a 175 Freestyle event. Figured we'd be outta there by 9:15 or 9:20. But NO. We get there and find that the coach has rearranged the entire schedule 'cuz of no shows etc. So now he's swimming 50 backstroke in Event #4 which was a 200 meter Medley...then swimming freestyle in Event # 10 (a 200 meter freestyle event). So, we didn't get out of there until like almost 10:30. I ended up helping with the sno cone stand...we shaved 2 beeg bags of ice over 2 the course of 2 hours & put it into a big water cooler jug thingy for scooping. STICKY job.

Now tonight we have tickets to the Frederick Keys game...that's a minor league baseball farm team for the Orioles. It's supposed to be fireworks night...if we don't get stormed out. Coincidently, DS's swim team is going tonight too...we just happened to already have tickets. Game starts at 6:00 so I guess we'll leave home between 5:15 & 5:30. It's not far. So I am doing more laundry (DH left the house this morning in a pair of shorts I was planning to pack! ) I am done printing door signs...they just need trimmed. So I am packing some today...I swear I am!! I couldn't sleep last night 'cuz I was in a panic over not being fully packed yet!! I was up from 2 - 3:30 listening to DH snore.

 

[CamColt]

Oops, I forgot that part. I would say the 750 would be the biggest. If they have a little smaller one go for that. Thanks!

I feel your pain! It's 1:15 here...so it's after Noon (since it's Sun.). I could have a shot for ya!! I am now TRIMMING my door signs 'cuz only a couple of them came out anywhere remotely centered (or straight)!! If they came out almost centered then I am pretty much leaving them alone. But if they came out all on one side they're getting trimmed. Cheapy paper cutter only goes to 9" wide. So I can trim the ENDS but not the length! THAT side is being done with scissors. It is becoming very dangerous at my house!

If you bring it with you, I can probably recover it for you. Does it boot up at all or what exactly is it doing??
