"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 4!

BeachBratt and Val, thanks for the warm weather updates! We're getting another snow storm after midnight. That's one thing I love about our country. It's so diverse in climates that you can get away to an entirely different kind of weather if you choose to!

Maureen, I agree. I thought it was really interesting. I saved it because I know I would like to see it again. I think that's one of those shows where you hear something you didn't catch the first time you saw it. I so badly wanted to correct their report that the ship was all ready for passengers after it left BAE! Nice try, but we DISers know better! I'm just thankful that by the time we got on the ship, it and its amenities were in good shape!

yes things were not all ready as Joe and I experienced first hand but it was much better when you all joined us it is so funny to see the crew and yell hey I know you!!

hola all.. from the Sunshine state LOL todays was a nice 74... supposed to warm up this weekend! I LOVE IT... yet from all the time off of getting snow days THAT would be a nice thing too.. minus trying to dig out and drive through it.. no thanks!

Kimberly thanks for posting the Dry dock schedual.. I never catch when they have the magic on the travel channel so hopefully I can catch this one..

Miss you all being back on that ship does sound nice.... I could go for another vacation right about oh.. NOW lol

Dave was offered his dream job. She said it's right in line with what he wants to do when he grows up. (Okay...I added the latter, but she did say it's exactly what he's wanted for his career.)

Drea: Are you not going on your cruise in June? I must have missed something.

Pretty much ya.. Im bummed.. I would love to but the WDW offer they have for military just is not to be missed compaird to the military cruise deal.. I would love to do both just dont have enough vacation time . Well that and E would never go for both LOL. So for about half the price of the cruise we will be doing 8-9days at the world! The boys dont know still and im keeping it that way incase anything changes ... AGAIN. Depending on their school schedual (its always been the same week to start, well of COURSE this yr they have 6different calanders proposed that were supposed to be deceided on already but havent.) Once they figure out when the start day is I will book our stay. Was looking at doing more or less around August 9th-19th (thats when it goes to off peak pricing LOL) and they usually offer free dinning then so if we can get that it would be 7-8days at pop with dinning, then 2-3 at Animal Kingdom.

WHAT sucks is since I changed our booking from when we rebooked on board to the military rate cruise, we lost the $200 and 10% off. (this is cuz like a retard I listened to E... since we already put down the $500 deposit and paid the CC off. NOW if we are to switch it, we lose the $200 and 10% off... So im just going to get my money back from the deposit. THATs what I get for listening to someone that doesnt know jack squat about planning, I dont know why I did it to... DUMN ME ) Oh well live, learn and dont listen to E lol.

So now since the magic will be in the Med in 2010 not sure what we are going to do. LOL

Hmmm...I'm sure there's a way around that road block...hmmm! LOL!!! Oh wait! A 14 night 'business trip' to Spain and across the Atlantic! That might work! LOL!!!!

 

[FatCat]

Hey FatCat - how are you making out with the treadmill?????

Actually I am averaging 20 minutes 4 times a week.
Also doing some free weights.

My goal is to actually need the flotation device for snorkeling

 

[nenner1]

I feel like I have been gone FOREVER...

My computer is still nowhere near done, but we couldn't take it anymore and
broke down and bought the $350 Best Buy special! So I'm back with two laptops, lol!

What have I missed? Is anyone in the 'hood for the Super Bowl today?? (Val???Cough Cough)OMG, traffic is unbelievable, and Winghouse....fuhgeddaboutit!!! (I did have my naked Dallas...yummmmmm)

Drea, I see you did WDW, that's great! We only have a couple of weeks til we go (can't wait)!

I saw Arin is having a boy...CONGRATS!!

What else did I miss?????????

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Happy Birthday, Erica!!! I hope you had a fab time at the Poly and the rest of the World this weekend celebrating!

Shirley (lenzs4), I know you're ready for those Cardinals to win tonight. There's a load of you with your yellow and black on, too. GO TEAM!

I hope you all have your 3-D glasses! I scoured Kroger yesterday trying to find them. Finally, an employee and I stumbled upon them.

Woo Hoo!!! Good for you, Skinny Cat!

I feel like I have been gone FOREVER....What have I missed? Is anyone in the 'hood for the Super Bowl today?? ...

Thank goodness you returned! I was thinking about you this week as the media was talking about the idea of the Postal Service going down to 5 days of delivery. I would hate to see that happen as it means it cuts income for so many government workers.

I personally don't know of anyone down in your hood today. I can't even imagine how crazy it must be there!

Hmmm...off the top of my head, other misses I can think of include Lisa's (Scoutsmom) dad did very well with his follow-up surgery post-pacemaker! Another biggy is that on Friday, Hadley and family moved to Germany. Dave got a dream job there, and everyone was excited about their new adventure. One of the downside for them is that it's illegal to homeschool, so they were fortunate to find a great private school.

Well, the game is starting...ttys!

That's great!!!! Guess Buckeye Gal is right - you're going to have to change your name to SkinnyCat!

 

[Grandma4ever]

I like THINCAT better . Great going Fatcat. Wish I could get motivated. I am now over 200 pounds. Lois

 

[Magic3forme]

We are doing the happy dance in Ohio. ( after nearly having a heart attack watching the game!!)
I just wish we could have gone to Pgh to watch the game...the entire town went crazy last night.


congrats Fatcat soon to be skinnycat.

 

[anc22]

Well........I'M doing the happy dance because FOOTBALL SEASON IS FINALLY OVER!!!! I know the Pro Bowl is next weekend, but wooooo-hoooooo
My household can finally go back to "it's regularly scheduled program"
6 whole months of no football coming my way! Don't get me wrong, I am a Greenbay Packer fan (by marriage) and I don't HATE football, but it just takes up soooo much of my hubby's time and attention. Maybe it is just the pregnancy hormones talking

Congrates Steelers fans!

Welcome back Jen.

Happy belated birthday Erica.

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Erik posted this on the WB TA thread this afternoon, so I thought I would share it with you guys, too.

....I thought I'd log on quickly to let everyone know that I got an email from Dave (Hadley's husband) on his blackberry this morning. They have safely arrived in Germany and are now neck deep in preparations for their new home, settling in, getting ready for work and school and everything....but they wanted us to know they're well and excited about this new chapter in their life!! (despite the fact that some of us are already missing them on OUR continent!!! )

 

[skoi]

Howdy all. Just stopping in. I never get notifications so I have to remember to come by and check the thread.

No medical disasters, and we did get dh home for a two week leave over New Year's. It took him over a week to get back due to bad weather, but he made it.

Still hoping for our 11 day Med cruise with the two big kids.

Wow- our life seems so boring but I never have time to do anything. Weird.
Julie

I'm glad to hear that Hadley and family are in Germany safely!

I just wanted to wish MagicMe a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I know it's late in the day and I wanted to do it earlier but I had a migraine all day and didn't get to a computer. We had a wonderful birthday dinner tonight at the Olive Garden with her family and my parents. It was great!
