Early roll call for March 20-23rd 08 Wonder cruise

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning Marsha,
well here I sit waiting for the call to tell me when the furniture is coming

I hate having to wait for them to call

Not up to anything today because I knew I had to wait for the furniture to arrive. Then I will be busy putting clothes back into the dressers.
Doesnt sound like much fun does it??

Hope your having a better day than me. Mine isnt bad, just boring

 

[brady961]

well seems both of us will be waiting around the house today for someone/thing to arrive. oh what fun <G>

at ya later

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

They told me that my stuff should be here by 1:00, it is 12:30 now,
so hopefully only 30 minutes to go!!
Later

 

[brady961]

hopefully by now you have your new furniture.

i was surprised bellsouth actually showed soon after 10a. so they have been here, corrected problem and gone HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can't wait for pics of your new stuff.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Yes, my furniture arrived around 2 P.M.
We have an adjustable bed so you can just put the head and foot boards on with the railings like a normal bed.
Greg will use special brackets and fix them himself this weekend. Then I will take pictures to show you. In fact I took photos of the dressers and night stand already but wont post until I have the bed too.
One night stand didnt have the legs, so they had to order them and will be 2 or 3 weeks. So one is sitting on the floor but that's ok, they are fixing it and it is usable until then. They just screw in the bottom of the night stand.

I need to get place mats or a table cloth to protect the table now. Will do that first thing tomarrow morning.

I am happy your problem got fixed so quickly!!
Now if they would just get your van ready you'd be all set.

I will be in touch soon,

 

[brady961]

Great that at least they finally showed up. sorry about the legs to stand and another waiting period.

so I have to wait 2-3 weeks to see pics???????????????? LOL

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

No, I took a picture of the one with legs and Greg is putting the bed together tonight, so hopefully I will get photos posted tomarrow or the next day at the latest!!!

Good night Marsha

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy Marsha,

well Greg got the bed together. But it needs a little adjusting since it is an adjustable bed it rubs just a little bit when you raise the head up. It will be a quick adjustment but wont get to it until this weekend.

I will try and take a photo after I return from grocery shopping and post this afternoon.

Is it really smokey at your place?? It is nasty here. Hope they can contain those fires soon!!

I will be in touch this afternoon, hope your getting some rest.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Marsha,
I e-mailed you the pictures. Let me know if you didnt get them,
kathy

 

[brady961]

WOW , thanks got the pics. Beautiful room. Can't wait to see the tropical room

I think one thing missing is western room, is a Cowboy Mickey and Cowgirl Minnie, Or even Woody and Jesse <G>

great job and such gorgeous furniture.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

I have a Woody and Jesse!!!

Just havnt got picture up yet or decorative things displayed. I had to wait until I got the furniture. Now I can start decorating. I have western tapestry for one wall to hang up, maybe this weekend. I will send photos as i get decorative things displayed.

I would love a Stinky Pete too!! I havnt seen him for sale yet.

In the mickey bedroom I have spare bedspreads that have cowboy Mickey on them. Right now those beds have a different Mickey bedspread on the beds.

Good morning,
I am just giving us a bump so others can find us easily. i f we are the only ones who post for this cruise, I wonder how many posts we will have by our cruise date??

I guess 5,000 posts. We are talkative enough to reach at leat 5,000, don't you think??

I'm sure when we get just a few months out someone will post with us.
3 day cruises are that way alot of the time.

have a good day Marsha and I will be in touch later,
Kathy

 

[brady961]

Yes we are very talkative. Even if aren't talking about the cruise and related to cruise thread LOL.

But hey for now since it's just you and me, I figure we can post about anything, cruise related or not.

I went out this morningn to clean out my company car so can go have it detailed. But I got so hot I don't have the energy now to go get it detailed. So will have to wait until Monday.

Once I get it detailed Monday morning, then have to go renew the tags. My plan then is to leave it at our office and have someone there drive me home.

Then its out of my way at home, no longer my responsibility etc...

Then my landlord and I can rearrange how we have been parking so I can use the ramp, and getting in/out of the van with the room needed on solid ground.

Was going to do all this today but now seriously doubt I will leave the house until around 5p. I am meeting the people that are buying my dinette set and few other items for them to pick things up in their truck.

Looking more like a good day to go into bedroom where there is a window AC unit, lay in bed, and not move. My sitting room only has a ceiling fan and oscalating fan, so gets hot easily. The window unit was suppose to be able to cool off sitting room but just doesn't make it. So any movement no matter how small I do in sitting room I quickly am overheated.

I can't believe how hot I got this morning way before noon grrrrrr

I really need to get to the store for some groceries but right now I don't want to move an inch <G>

ok we will reach that 5000 post mark even if only a few are cruise related LOL.

It's fun though chatting back and forth here and via email.

have a good day.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy,
well I got my errands to the pharmacy and bank done early. I thought oh good, now no need to go out in the heat. But just discovered I am out of stamps I have 2 mothers day cards to mail out. Both go to Oregon so can take 5 or 6 days to arrive.
I think I will wait until monday to go to the post office to get them. That would still give them 6 days to get there. Mom's do understand if things are late right I hope so. We always call on Mothers day anyway.

Just too darn hot to go out if I dont have to!! Even the dog is staying in today accept to run to the little girls bush

It would help if there was a good breeze out.
I use our ceiling fans all the time. That was the first thing we bought when we moved here was a ceiling fan for our bedroom and the family room where we spend all our time. We are very lucky we have central air, but try to leave it set up on a high number so not to have a $400 cooling bill each month!!
We try to stay at 75 to 78 in the house. It is set up automatic to not cool the upstairs during the day, only the downstairs, then at night it cools the upstairs where we sleep and not the downstairs because nobody is down there. That really helps to keep the bill down.
I would rather have that money to spend on a disney cruise!!!

Well I am about to give my mom a call, so I will check back later. Hope you can get some rest for awhile.

Hi Marsha,
news just said it was 92 in Leesburg which is only a mile from me.
I knew it was HOT out there.
I think we will put in a movie tonight and just relax.
Going to get moving early tomarrow for shopping for curtains. It always takes forever to find any here. There are zillions of blinds, but few curtains


Just gave the guys leftover taco meat for dinner. They made sandwiches out of it, which is ok with me. Very few dishes that way.
see ya

 

[brady961]

yeah it was like 92 here today. and boy did i feel it. It get so frustrated at how the heat effects me, just one minute outside and I am wiped out.

I did sell some things out of storage and the people picked things up this afternoon. HOORAY. Now to sell a couch, coffee table, scooter, walker, dishes/cookware etc... If can then I won't have much left to store. May still need a small storage unit as I really have no room in my two room apartment to store anything else. It's already cluttered and I don't handle clutter very well. It actually makes me anxious and can interfere with me relaxing or sleeping to have rooms look and feel cluttered.

The contractor is coming Mon to see what needs to be done, discuss what is going to be done etc..... Then on Wed or Thur will begin putting in the sidewalk, extend landing at front door, off set hinges on doors inside, wall protectors.

He ordered the ramp and suppose to arrive May 14th. Then he will install that that day depending on when arrives or at least next day or two. HOORAY!!!!

Hopefully in about two weeks I will actually have all the home mods done including the RAMP!!!!!!

Should receive my van next week but until I get it at least i have the loaner.

I have about two and half weeks before my weekend getaway at POP and WDW with friends HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then about month after that weekend, a 3 night cruise with a friend.

I am trying to look forward to the fun things but sometimes hard when dealing with physical/medical issues in this heat.

But this too shall pass. and hey i have something fun planned for the next three months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Off to the mall,
will post after we get back,

kathy

 

[brady961]

hope you enjoy/ed the mall.

boy its hot as .... again.

i went earlier to storage unit to take pics of coffee table, plates/bowls/cup/glassess set to post on craigs to sell.

I have sold many things already but now hoping to sell the rest esp couch/coffee table.

Trying to convince my landlords father to buy scooter

check out pal and friends thread as i posted a few pics of Minn in new outfits. once esp with DCL and to wear on cruise.

Think I am in for the day as just too hot be get out and about.

catch ya later.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Marsha,
just got back from the mall and michaels. Got all but 2 things which is really good. I was trying to hurry because it was getting hot and traffic was getting bad.

I got curtains for all the downstairs windows that go together, finally!! I little at a time I am getting my place together. I would go faster but it costs money to buy things, so have to budget for it.

Plus got some storage boxes for scrapbooking supplies. i really need to get organized to do this, so I spent my own spending money that took me forever to save, but it felt good to find something I wanted.
I got some decorative cut scissors and a couple of punches too.
I found some vines to decorate the tropical room .

My car was full and my wallet was empty so time to come home
Now I have a headache from the rushing around and the heat.
So i will rest for awhile before putting away my stuff.

I love the new outfits. Minnie will be very classy in her new clothes on board.
I can understand why Mickey are getting jealous. He will have his turn soon.

Going to relax, I'll check back later,
Kathy

 

[brady961]

Cool you found almost everything. Organized is a good thing, and can imagine if doing scrapbooking would really need way so to keep things organized and easy access.

Totally agree about the heat grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Since i got back from storage unit all I have done is sit in the recliner or lay in the bed, not moving. just that little project this morning did me in for the day.

There is a severe thunderstorm in Marion county so wondering if it will head this way. We sure could use the rain, not storms or lightning though. that could spark more wild fires.

have a good evening. and will catch you tomorrow.
