I could arrange someone to chase you
I just called Shirley today and made arrangements for flowers.
Jen/Nicole/anyone else, I'm shipping the purse to Shirley now and she is going to make an arrangement to match it and have in our room waiting!
Yea..over 80lbs. The whole weight thing has been a struggle for me. This is the most weight I've ever lost and the longest I've ever kept it off. I've made up my mind...I'm never going back.Part of the reason I wanted to do the Muddy Buddy, (besides GKTW & my awesome teammates) is so I wouldn't feel so guilty pigging out on the podcast cruise.
Nicole....
That is amazing!
Great job, Nicole! I'm jealous; I just want to be able to walk some weight off. I'm having low back issues lately. Going to get a massage and go to chiropractor this afternoon, but he hasn't helped me much this time. I have to get x-rays today, too. Good thing is that I'm not having the pain going down my legs, so it's probably not a disc problem. But, if it's not a disc problem, it's probably arthritis - sheesh, I'm only 43!!! But, I'd better learn to live with it; I know every one of my siblings have it.(thanks mom and dad)
Anyway, enough of the self pity-party. It'll straighten out soon - it usually does.
BTW, hope everyone had a nice Easter! I haven't been on much this week - I've had several tax returns to get done.
Yeah! Only one more day of tax season!!!!!!!!!
Now I can concentrate on more important stuff - like fish extenders, magnets, posting wars, etc!!!
wow Nicole- that is great! I HATE running. if only someone was chasing me, i might run.
i am definitely going to have to do some walking around the ship for all that wonderful food we will be eating.
Called and spoke to Shirley at Perfect Gift, she is so sweet- planning a nice surprise for mom (she can't read here for a while with her vision, so i am safe surprising her hopefully).

WTG Kim...I remember you didn't post much before Mousefest. I'm glad to see you posting more often.
That sounds like a great plan Lisa!

I got my documents today!!!!!
Now this is my kind of stuff. Somebody get my hat with the propellar on top. I need to spin it!Thought ya'll would like to know that the Internet Service onboard is provided by a 128kb (bi-directional) VSAT connection. What does that mean to you? It means that everyone on board is sharing roughly the equivilant of 2 dial-up lines to the internet. Add a 2 second round trip latency ( the satellites are 22000 miles away, there is no escaping the speed of light) and that means you are in for trip back 10 years for internet service. So before you sign-up for the all you can eat Internet, know that you are not eating very much. Do not feel too bad. Most offshore oil rigs only get 56kb across a very old microwave system (used to be Shell's) for their internet
The cellular (and internet) are backhauled across the MTN VSAT network. They are the cruise industry standard for customer connectivity. They also provide the Satellite TV feed as well.
So to all the geeky folks, like myself, here you go. I would not count on uploading many 15 megapixel, RAW pictures back to the shore.
Hi all! Where is everybody tonight?

Aww. So there are folks here, but they're in lurking mode tonight.
I'm going to log off soon. It's been a long day and I need to remember that I'll be online all evening tomorrow for chat!
I'm not ready to pack, but I did break down and set up a big shopping bag in the bedroom floor and I've been dropping stuff into it that I want to take along on the trip.
