Hi Julie!

Hehe . . . I had to check back in one more time before I turned out the lights. So glad I did - glad you're back Julie. If you go back a couple of pages to post 12844 (I think), you can see what my family looks like so you'll know who you're looking for. Can't wait to meet you!

Latest from Hurricane Track:

LATEST ON ERNESTO SUGGESTS A THREAT TO FLORIDA PANHANDLE

The latest info out of the NHC shows Ernesto moving on a track that would place it very close to the western Florida panhandle in about six days or so. Of course we should all know by now how much track forecasts can change and I think the big message here is that Ernesto is likely to be a threat for the eastern or central Gulf coast states. First, Ernesto will impact portions of the Greater Antilles and Jamaica with possible hurricane conditions in some locations. Overall the computer models have changed from what looked like a Texas threat to an eastern Gulf coast threat over the last couple of days. This shows us how hard it is to forecast these tropical cyclones and underscores the importance of being ready- no matter what. This particular track forecast will change with time as more details come in about the surrounding atmosphere in the Gulf early next week. At least there is plenty of time to prepare once we know more about where Ernesto will end up.

As far as intensity goes, the NHC has backed off of their 120 mph forecast from 5pm and now shows 115 mph at the five day plot. While this is only a slightly weaker hurricane, we must not read too much in to this. Who knows? We might have a stronger or weaker system to deal with- just remember that intensity forecasting is very tough even with the best computer models. Once again, it will be important to just monitor the situation and see how things line up. We're still talking about a tropical storm right now and a lot can happen over time. There's nothing else brewing in the Atlantic at the moment and so our attention can be placed on Ernesto and the important anniversary coming up on Tuesday. At least more people will be aware of what is going on in the tropics this last week of August- no matter what happens with Ernesto. I will have more here Sunday morning.

Oh yeah! If it is not there Blackunicorn has it on her signature.

it's really getting to me.... What was the consesus as to where everyone is eating when we board the ship?

My preference is Parrot Cay--I'd rather be waited on than do a buffet. I don't always get my druthers, though.

Amanda wanted me to post a picture so you can see her new Jasmine Outfit she's wearing on the cruise

She looks lovely! That's a great costume!

My daughter has just decided she'll be Ariel...I'll bet she'd love to pose for a picture when she wakes up.

Goodnight Taeja and Patsy! I'm popping in and out becuase I'm watching the Sponge Bob Movie with my nephew

I'm so sorry. No one should have to go through that.

I saw it at the dollar theater, and I really think they should have refunded my money. What an awful movie!

You can't possibly be as bad as me with names. It's my worst fear - tying to come up with someone's name (that I should know).

For three months after we started dating, my husband kept calling me by my two best friends' names. I still married him. No one is going to insult me if they can't remember my name!

 

[Blackunicorn]

I had c-sections so it was easy. Have a good night!

Easy is NOT the way I would describe a c-section! I would have called that the hard way!

Looks like our visit to wdw will be a wet one next week. :The storm is expected to turn back towards florida wed or thursday..

We didnt crate our first dog, but we did with Ginger. She is going to be 2 and has the run of the house but at bedtime she wants in the crate with the door shut and locked.

My boys love their crates....it's so funny that it used to be looked upon as "mean" - but when they hear thunder, that is where they go for comfort. And at night, that is where they want to be. Sometimes when I can't find Oscar, he'll be in his crate all curled up sleeping with the door opened.

And Kong tennis balls are the bomb too! Durable, and in fun bouncy shapes.

I hope to see pictures of everybody else's families tomorrow! I forgot Bill has shown his too, and he'll be easy to spot with the yellow Corona hat. But Everyone else needs to pony up! (what exactly does that mean?)

We should be pretty easy to spot too - I'm 5'3" and my husband is 6'1". I'll probably re-post a pic sometime this week. Maybe I'll put him in his orange Tigger shirt, and I can wear my pink Mickey shirt.

One week from this moment, we will be packing up the car and heading out the door!

Well, it's still a buffet......but they get you your drinks and it is a little more relaxed there.

FEH!

Well, the good news is it will be way to the north by the time we set sail. The bad news is, you will need a poncho if you are going to the parks anytime before Friday!

Everyone in Florida, on the count of three, blow reeeeeaaaaaaaallly hard.

ONE!

TWO!

THREEEEEEEEEE!

 

[zweihund]

The boys and I are off to the dog park for a bit......BBL.

 

[LCTsMom]

Morning All!

 

[LCTsMom]

I would just like to inform the fellow DISers out there on this thread the wonderful thing Vicki has done for Holly and me. She is lending us her underwater cameras. Thank you so much, Vicki! You are wonderful and I am glad we are sailing together!

Vicki Rocks!

Can't wait to see the pics that everyone returns with. I have a Shutterfly account, I will be glad to share my pics with anyone interested. I would LOVE to swap.

 

[LCTsMom]

Vicki-
Amanda looks so cute in her new outfit!!! Haley has Tinkerbell and Sydney -cinderella. I am really hoping they are going to be able to join Amanda and dress up for dinner!

We want you to join us!!!!!!!! Teia is bringing two different Cinderella dreses and an Ariel dress that we received as a hand-me-down.

 

[LCTsMom]

Nope, not nuts. *hides her identical piece of paper behind her back*

That's why I love it here, we can all be crazy together!
