Hello All
one day closer to the Very dreary here in michigan today. DD 8 still running temp-just a bit of one & only bothers her @ night. Calling Dr in am.
My bags arent packed & I just cant seem to get organized. I'm sure I'll get it all together within the next week. We fly out Friday morning my goal is to be packed by Wednesday.
All this talk about taxes, I havent even started the stuff. With dh being self emplyd we have them done by business cpas but I have to fill in our personal stuff. That will have to wait. Maybe dh can take care of it. Soon after our cruise he will be unemplyd soo he should have time
Stay well all & keep thing happy sunny thougts.
Wendy

Yes, I will try to make it at 3. I have been reading here for about 2 years , but finally got to umph up to start posting! Reading all of your posts about our cruise got me soooo excited! How do you think your 4 year old is going to do since your 6 yr old will be in a different group? My boys are real close and my 6 can do anything by himself w/o his brother, but my 4 is attached at his hip. I keep asking him if he will be all right by himself and he says "Yeah, I will make a new friend!" So, I'm hoping! Maybe he can make a buddy w/ your son!

Sailin away, it would be great to hook our two boys up. I think my two should be separate, they do get along nicely not as well as your two. I plan to be at the meet at 3, if I remember reading correctly we will not have much time because the drill is at 4. Is that right Mark? I hope we can make another plan to meet from that point. I am not sure that we will be doing the brunch thing. AHHHH !!!! Food ....... If I gain more weight I will shoot myself....

 

[disneypilots]

Steph, yes the LifeBoat drill is at 4PM. And........All of the food on a Disney Cruise has Zero calories........Everything is non-fat, low carb, and Tastes Great !!! The problem is as soon as you get off the ship back in port...... It Reverses !!!

A good time to hang out is after the shows or 2nd seating dinner.......about 9:30 or 10:00 pm. Also, the at Sea days are fun to have a group around.

I justed want to know are you excited for this cruise, Mark, I just....um, can't tell...

I am a night owl. I always tell people that death is God's way of telling me it's time to sleep. Life is too short to sleep most of it away.

 

[disneypilots]

Steph, If you have second dinner seating (We do also), the main show in the WDT (Walt Disney Theater) is approx 6:00 PM. The comedy and dance clubs start to get busy around 10:00 PM.

 

[disneypilots]

Jen, you are alive.......... Where have you been Girl ?????? Ok, its not after midnight......what was I thinking. LOL !!!!

 

[JenGang]

AHHHH !!!! Food ....... If I gain more weight I will shoot myself....

Oh, believe me you will gain weight on this cruise. I'm going to be very careful but I'm sure I'll still gain. I've lost just over 15 lbs in the last 2 months and I have no intentions of gaining it all back!

I've been busy helping Beth (8yo) do a reasearch paper. I swear I don't ever remember doing stuff like this in 3rd grade. She had to do it on something historical and chose the Liberty Bell. I can't wait to have a break from school work. I know I'll have to pay for it fter the cruise with them needing to get caught up on missed work but I'm trying not to think about that.

Hi all,
We are still patiently waiting for our Docs. We are hoping they will arrive tomorrow then we can do the "happy cruise dance".

As for packing, we have just thrown everything that we have either bought or set aside into the spare bedroom on the bed and dresser and hope to piece it all together this weekend.

Speaking of weight....when we booked this cruise the first week of December I decided I could not go at this weight. Therefore, started my diet on Dec. 8th. As of today I have achieved a 32 pound loss. I am very excited as it goes well with my fake and bake (as Mark puts it) so I dont burn like a lobster! I know there is tons of food and alcohol aboard therefore I plan on dedicating myself to daily aerobics and a daily treadmill workout. So if any of you women would like to join me feel free to let me know and we can encourage each other....LOL

Havent really experienced alcohol enhanced treadmill running yet...LOL

Welcome Sailin~away! I see you already know about the meet at 3pm. I'm guessing that means you also have seen the info on the brunch. If you're interested, send me your room number and the names of all the people that want to go.

 

[disneypilots]

Hi Julia, Call your TA or Disney. As a last resort........they can have your docs at the port. I wouldnt worry just yet, you still have plenty of time. As for my fake bake, it allows me to stay out in the sun almost all day long. Otherwise I would be a glowing red Lobster.. LOL

That's awesome Julia! I probably could have lost more since I started losing but I cheated too much during the holidays and on my trip to TX. I do plan on using the gym on the ship as well as walking on deck 4. Maybe we'll have to trying meeting sometime for that. I'm not so sure how well I'd do if I was under the influence though. LOL

This I gotta see......As long as I dont have to get up too early, sounds like our fearless leader Jen, will have us up pretty late........

So it that like eat and run.... I was hoping to get early I would like my kids to eat with us...my are the little ones 4 & 6... I guess I will have to cry to the CM til they give me early, which is what I wanted when I booked back in June. Usually that works for me. They tell me "take a deep breath, close your eyes"
"this is were miracles happen"...

Mark tell laura, I hope she gets better soon... .
