We also want to know how the 22 inch flat screen TV's fit into the cubby hole...

Important things you know...

 

[zweihund]

Why are we not going to mickey's not so scary halloween party?!

Err.....because you arrive at ridiculous-o'clock on Friday night, and we set sail the next day?

You know we get back Saturday, right? We can go, I have to check on getting tickets. It's an evening thing, not an all day thing, just FYI. But it's fun! And you get candy

So in my head we were getting back on Sunday. Awesome. This means we could have a full day at Disney AND i can go to target and get Jelly belly's! I don't have to choose!

Oh happy day.

Thank you both! I can't wait to see her either, all shiny and new.....this will be our first time on the Magic as well, which is pretty cool.

Ok, time for the to-do list check!

Last week:

• pick up dress from cleaners - check!
• wash my Crocs flip flops and sandals - check!
• print up FE cabin list and cruise plans spreadsheet - check!
• get an appropriate sized Rubbermaid container for FE and SM stuff - check!
• finish 6/8 of my remaining writing projects - check!
• call DCL to add our saved money to our OBC, and fill out our payment authorization forms online - check, and check!

This week:

• haircuts for me and L - Tuesday for me, Lionel still to call.
• pedicure - most likely Friday
• finish last 2/8 articles - check! all sent
• send invoice for project with note stating I will be out of town for a week - end of the week so as not to confuse them more than I already have
• print and sign cruise forms - printed, not signed yet
• pre-cruise laundry - Thursday
• segregate cruise clothing - Thursday
• clean like there is no tomorrow - all next week
• PACK!!!!!!! - Thursday and Friday
• say hello to Sarah when she arrives late late LATE Friday evening, and promptly fall asleep - you guessed it, Friday!

The best part? All of the hard stuff and deadline stuff is done. I even did some pre-cleaning today to make this week's chores easier. See? I'm not just a geek: I'm an anal-retentive geek.

I was a little alarmed when I tried on my dress and realized it was a tad longer than I was expecting. I'm telling myself it's because I lost a centimeter or so of width, but more than likely the seamstress was being a little too conservative. Ah, well. The good news is, I have slightly higher heels I can wear on formal night if need be, and they take up only a minimal amount of valuable suitcase real estate.

SIX MORE DAYS. I can't believe it's less than a week away.

Thanks all! I promise there will be many pictures. In fact, I looked at my camera yesterday and started to worry that a 2G and 1G card won't be enough! Silly me.....I threw in a 512 MB for backup worst case scenario I guess I can go to Shutters and download, right?

I know! Hey, I do have a pile now......AND I started setting some things aside. My problem is the dog and the bird know what the suitcase means, so I don't like to take it out until the last minut. I did, however, go over my packing list yesterday, does that count?

OMG im so excited.... your list is helping me with mine LOL

Whatever I can do to help, sister
I'm still chuckling at the thought of you running around the deck putting umbrellas in everyone's drinks!

It's almost here! Going to get my pedicure today

Yay! I think I'm going to move mine up to Wednesday. Friday seems too far away for pampering!

 

[chepic]

OK...you are days away, you must be ready to rock!!! Can't wait for the on board report. Have a drink for me. (although, if you drink for everyone who tells you that, you will run out of time and ginger chews.)
