First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[ALWAYSDISNEYDREAMING]

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

There is not much to tell about us. We live in New York. I'm married with three kids DS14, DD12 and DD8. Would love to take them all on the cruise but with school and low finances its just me and my sister in law. She has no kids of her own but is step mom to my brother in laws 2 sons and my kids adore her. We are both excited to be going on this cruise and it will be the 1st time that I am away from my children ever so I feel guilty. I'm trying to convince myself that I need this grown up vacation and that I deserve if but if I start following kids around on the ship you'll all have to bring me to my senses.

I would love to join you all for drinks but unfortunately I'm not able to (but I may do some sipping). Feel free to pass the moe-jeet-toes but I'll be sipping diet soda.

The cistern sounds interesting if you need help diggin just let me know.

I don't really use use gold bond but i'm going to bring some just in case.

Could you explain COB please and the polar bear thing went right over my head.

Well I think I'm all caugt up. Let the games begin!!! Have a great day everyone.

Circle Of Booze. As for the polar bears, John (Webmaster John/John Magi/Faceless John/Harp Boy) suggested on the last email show that one answer to the global warming and energy crises would be to find a way to make oil out of polar bears, or at least to eat the ones falling off the melting polar ice caps to avoid waste of food... He was k-i-d-d-i-n-g, of course...

I crunched the numbers and convinced DH that we should go. I will be making my deposit on Thursday if all goes according to plan. My sister, BIL and Nephew will be joining us as well. She does not post on the boards and has only been to the MK once(MY dad took us right after I graduated HS like 15 years ago) They are coming over for dinner Wednesday and she said she would be ready to do her deposit too. Dhe just has to double check with he DH. But she always gets her way. I have never been on a cruise and can't wait. My kids will be going. My DD who will be 7 has watched the Oceaneers Club videos and already told me not to expect her to hang out with us. My son will only be 2 so we will have him with us most of the time but we definately will be springing for Flounder's a couple times. Pass the mo-gee-toes! We are going to then stay through the weekend at WDW. I love that my DH loves Disney.

Welcome Becky (and Crew)!!!




Mind if we call you Kim to keep it simple??

 

[halliesmommy01]

Of course you can call me by my real name Kim-Becky. I don't tell just anyone about that you know!

Thanks for the welcome from everyone.

Kim-Becky

PS I am being a good wife since DH told me YES today. I cleaned the kitchen from top to bottom and working on the living room later.

That is being a good wife! I'm a surface cleaner myself. As long as it looks clean, I'm all set!

:Welcome: aboard Becky and AlwaysDisney...!!

 

[Disneybridein2k3]

Geez you guys...now you're making me feel guilty that I'm *bringing* my kids!

Welcome aboard Dorothy/Kim!

Ya know, it's not too late to tell your kids that Disney has decided to not allow any children on this particular Mother's Day cruise

And welcome aboard Becky/Kim! Congrats on convincing the husband - good job

Don't forget -- my kids are teenagers! They'd probably hire an attorney and sue me for breach of contract. LOL (They've been on DCL before and know what they'd be missing.)

YEAH... Becky is coming!!! Welcome aboard!

We will be celebrating too, but didn't want to bore anyone with our details but here it goes. Our 10 year anniversary was almost 2 years ago, but both DH and I got laid off from the company we worked for that spring. He worked there 17 years and I worked for 12. That fall we were planning an adults weekend for Food and Wine to celebrate our 10th. Since money was tight, we canceled our trip and never rescheduled.

Needless to say we were devestated and it took almost a year for DH to get a job. Luckily his new job is amazing and affords me to stay home right now.

Thanks to Pete and Dreams Unlimited, now we can finally celebrate our 10th even though it will be our 12th.

Um... I don't find this boring! More heartwarming magic from the DIS and the podcast crew!!

Will be HAPPY to wish you HAPPY TENTH (plus two) ANNIVERSARY on the cruise!!!!

So here's the question... 10th= aluminum/tin, 12th= silk/linen. Which way we goin?

Pie safe or tablecloth?

 

[halliesmommy01]

I am going for both and aluminum and tin pie plates. LOL

Good call...I know how those teens can be. The only way I'm getting out of bringing mine is because the last time we brought her on a 7 night, her english teacher told us she took a week of actual vacation and then when she got back she took a week of mental vacation which almost sunk her grade for that marking period. Since "responsibility" ISN'T her middle name (I would know since I named her), I told her it was best that she didn't miss the school this time around. I know for a fact that I will be feeling terribly guilty though.

 

[kab407]

Oh Goody!!! More Kims!!!!

 

[kab407]

What she said!! I don't even HAVE kids, and I'm leaving them at home, too!!

I'm leaving my non-existant children home also!

 

[scarlett873]

We've got no kids either...yet!

I'm actually surprised that DH agreed to going on this cruise. We had originally agreed to no vacations until we got the call to go to China. That seemed reasonable as China would be a once in a lifetime kind of trip anyway. But once we realized that China will still be several years away, we couldn't stand it! (The wait for adoption in China is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long right now...we've been officially "waiting" to be matched to our DD now April of last year and it'll probably be at least another 1-2 years before we are matched) The podcast cruise will make trip #4 for me and trip #3 for DH since we sent our papers to China! (I tagged along to WDW with my sister and her family last year while DH stayed home)

Wonder how many more trips we can take...

 

[TheBeadPirate]

I'll be bringing my kid......but that's cause I'm married to him! Oh, and he's working to pay for it...

But I'll "try" and make him behave...

But I'll "try" and make him behave...

We have to make them behave???? I DO have my work cut out for me...
do you have advice for this? Appears I need all the help I can get!

Behave??!? This IS the podcast cruise we're talking about, right?

Ain't gonna see ME too well-behaved!!!
