Hey! July 30th, 2005 cruise to Mexico DISfriends!

[littleowensmommy]

What a great weekend!!! Did Jenny know about this or was it a surprise for her too?

I'm up for Jelly Rolls. It sounds like fun! There are also some great clubs at Pleasure Island. I've always wanted to check out the Adventurer's Club and the Rock N Roll Beach Club.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep up with Lucy...the wild woman!

My reservation is set at BWV!

Jenny, What are you doing up at 4:42a.m.?! Get some sleep!

 

[lwilliam]

I've got two more days of vacation, thank goodness.
Air conditioning guy showed up at 7:55 already (I was prepared, no need to worry - just a maintenance)....Bob and I are BOTH home today, with more
work planned than hours in the day...then tonight the local Philles game...
believe me, NOT as exciting as the Reds games but we are in the picnic pavillion with friends, so it is NOT all about baseball tonight, friends and good food - Tyler and a friend will be swimming in the pool during the game.

Jenny and Mark, arriving SUNDAY, July 23, approx. 2:30 at BWV
JoAnn and Ken, arriving FRIDAY, July 29 (any girls, JoAnn???)
Lucy and Bob, arriving SUNDAY 7/23

Kathy
Debs:

GOOD LUCK BRI....can't wait till it is OVER for you! Let Summer Begin. You ARE coming to Disney, aren't you Bri?
YOU MUST - we need you in the EE picture for Lynn.

LYNN - here is our e-mail
robertlw@ptdprolog.net

OK, when are the rest of you arriving?
LYNN?
BILL and ALICE?
(for pete sakes Alice, you are a big girl now, if DISDADDY won't come, we all have some kind of room for you...the bathtub? Girl, I'd even give up our bed for you!)

Hmmmmmm, Ms. Jenny, $7, the price of a margarita.....just have a beer that night.

I want to be the first post on PAGE 200!! Can you believe that???

I forgot! Mark and I will be celebrating our 11th anniversary the day before we arrive at WDW. We will be at a Reds game, of course!!!! as I was last year! No Diamond seats this year though!

 

[jfis1020]

Darn! Not page 200 on that post! I'll try again!!!

 

[jfis1020]

Again!!!!

 

[jfis1020]

dang! Again??



Edit:
I DID IT!!! (YOU'D THINK I'M BORED!!!!)

 

[DisneyMom13]

I'm impressed The boys actually set up a plan by themselves. OMG. How cool is that. You actually gave me the chills. I am so glad you guys enjoyed your w/e together, sounds like fun.

Anyway, Bri is in her last regents as I write this (Earth Science). She feels she may have passed them all, except the Math Final she took yesterday, which she said was really hard. Not only did she have to take a Regents in Math, but also a final. For those of you who don't know, I think Regents exams are only given here in NY and in Cali, if I am correct. HS students take them throughout their 4 years, and have to pass or they go to Summer School. I think they are totally ridiculous because most colleges don't even look at them because they are not country-wide exams. Well, like I said I will be praying lots this week, even though it is now in God's hands.

We finally booked the Segway tour, I am surprised we even got in. Saturday morning at 9:30 for me, Micco and Alex. Briana is bringing her best friend Kourtney with us, right now they don't want to do it, but we are trying to change their mind. I think they would have a blast! Anyway, this should be a video camera event, I think. You see, it should be a real riot. I don't know about anyone else, but I am extremely uncoordinated, so it should be interesting, to say the least!

Allie will probably have her schedule for that week, about 10 days to 2 weeks prior to us going down. Some of you guys will be able to see her before we even get there. I know she requested Friday off to spend with us. We are coming in on Thursday, the 27th, I think our flight gets in around 7 pm, so we should be at BWV probably no later than 9, and ready to party (that's if it's not past your bedtime, Lucy) We return on Monday, the 31st (flight leaves late in the afternoon). Any plans are fine with us, I am just looking forward to spending time with you guys. JoAnn - Tell Tracy and Tara to come, Alex would love to hang with them!

Yesterday was a rough day at the store, no a/c, I started getting very uncomfortable, and wound up closing a little early. Landlord is working on it, also said he hasn't gotten any money from insurance yet. Ugh!!! Well, should be another hot day here today, tomorrow they said will be a little cooler, and then back to the heat on Thursday. I hope they get the air fixed today or it's going to be one heck of a long week.

JoAnn - Have a great time on your cruise, but I am sure you won't meet as many fun people as us! I will be jealous if you find another dance partner.

Have a great day all!
Debi

 

[DisneyMom13]

Jenny - You beat me by 2 minutes, I guess I am too long winded.

If only I had written this morning.....I could have been the top post on the 200th page!What was I thinking???

Hey, I LOVE summer ! It's great!

I went to the gym.....it's too late to "lose for the cruise," so I'm going to try for our reunion........WHO WANTS TO JOIN THE Lose for the Cruise Reunion Challenge??? So far, I've been good today!

We're arriving by around 9:30am on Friday morning, so we'll call you guys and find out where you are and meet you! We are definitely missing out for most of the week! I'm bummed! Then we are leaving around 11am on Monday morning. I'm glad we are all "segwaying." I believe I read a trip report from Lynn when she did this last year. It sounded alittle challenging but a great time. We should be laughing and falling off a lot!

Jessica will be at a camp and I'm still working on the other two. Ken & I will be celebrating OUR 26TH ANNIVERSARY on July 11th, so the miracles continue around here! If the girls don't join us, we will enjoy our mini-trip without them! The way things are going lately, that might be a blessing!

NOONE can replace my dancing partner, Debi, Ken was eternally grateful! (He doesn't enjoy the dancing too much!) We are excited and have a million things to do to get ready! You know, the cleaning,etc.! I hate stupid testing too, BTW!

 

[littleowensmommy]

I get in at 1:00pm on Friday. Can you all pm me with your cellphone numbers so I can catch up with you after I check in? I leave on Monday around noon.

 

[lwilliam]

I just posted a LONG message and the server was busy....and i lost the whole thing....I'll try tomorrow....it was a good one too (when isn't it) - Kathy, got your number.

 

[lwilliam]

Alice?
Lynn?

I just mentioned to Bob this morning - let's slow this time down, boy....
it will be over before we know it and we have SO MANY things to do
until we leave...it scares me.

Well, last night ANOTHER baseball game...believe this will be IT for the year for the Williams family....local farm team, Phillies - quite a boring game so we watched the REAL Phillies play the Yankees on the little TV...alot more interesting.....Tyler swam in the pool with a friend all night.

Gotta start some work around here

JoAnn? are you packed? are you excited? are you missing us yet on the ship?

 

[jfis1020]

Work?? I am cleaning up from the plumber. Sparing details, but new pump in the basement There goes some of my WDW $$!!

Little League is officially over for us. John's team lost last night. I can't say I'm sad, but he will be bored now!! Marshall is at Cub Scout daycamp these three days, so another bored Mallory (not as bad though).

I am like Lucy. I have so much to accomplish before July 21st. We will go to see the Reds the 21st and 22nd before our flight the 23rd. Yes, we are missing a game on Sunday which doesn't happen often! Mark told me all projects I choose to start must be completed and cleaned up by then. He hates projects! He's right on target because I have only 12 days when I return before school. I'll want to get some baseball in before then!

Mark is going to Cleveland to see the Reds and Indians this weekend. He will first go "home" Thursday to see his mom, dad and two grandparents, then on Friday another 1 1/2 hour into Cleveland. M&M, John, Mom and I will hopefully "rake in some money" with our garage sale Fri. and Sat. I look forward to the time when he goes for a day or two, but I get so sad beyond that. I guess that's good!!

have a great day!

 

[littleowensmommy]

I'm just sitting here watching Oprah. I can't break away from the TV to start dinner. We may just end up with take out tonight.

 

[jlawall]

Ok, I received emails from Jenny and Kathy and I printed the numbers. I sent out mine, so let me know when you get them!!

We will have a blast!! Whooppee! We are a fun group......hey, Debi, we can dance next month,no worries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IN October, we are planning to meet up in NYC with Lynn, Keith, Deb, Micco, Lucy, Bob, Jenny, Mark (and I'll work on DisDaddy and mom..............).....I was wondering if we should go ahead and book a show, I was looking at Tarzan tix to keep with the DiZ theme.........what does everyone think about that????

 

[lwilliam]

all the work i had planned for today didn't happen.....BUT, i've been working all day long, with interruptions (darn 14 yr. old MUST eat??!!!! )

OH, Kathy, so funny you say that about Bon Jovi - my girlfriend at work ADORES that guy - says she wants a picture of him above her bed

I can't believe it is back to work for me tomorrow. Next week it is only 4 days....but I'll be in a depression, for sure - JoAnn on RCCL has me happy (for her) and sad (for me).

Tarzan? Bob and I saw it, but you guys are welcome to go....We would also like to try and see Mary Poppins this year....Lynn, have you seen it?

Tomorrow I'll be on the boards more often - I'm at work

Alice?
Lynn?

 

[jfis1020]

but, Mark and I won't be able to make it to NYC in Oct. We had already planned to go to Tampa for a long weekend with two other couples to see the Bucaneers and Bengals football game the weekend before. That's a tough one.......Florida or time w/ you guys?? If we hadn't told the other two couples we were going it might be different. I can't see me getting out of town TWO weekends in a row and definitely without the kids TWICE!!! Florida is still questionable anyway because my mom's friend invited Mom to go to Florida that week too, so I am going to have to get someone to watch the kids!

Right now you can get priority ticket purchases for Mary Poppins with your Disney Visa!!


Big Garage Sale tomorrow!! I have to get outside today and set up. Heat advisory in place today at 91 degrees!! M&M are selling pop and water at the sale and I bet they do well!!

Well, I must go. Mark is leaving in a few minutes for work, then straight to his parents house. I won't see him until Sun. night. If you happen to catch the Reds and Indians on TV, check it out. Our "ticket source" usually puts us in good seats. In Detroit, we were right behind the plate both games in rows 21 and 24!!! Excellent seats!!! You'll recognize him..the guy with the Buzz Lightyear (Marshall used to call Bud Light that!!!) in hand!

Where's DisDaddy??? Check in with us Al if he doesn't!!!!

Lynn??

Jon Bon J Kathy?? Blast me to the past!!!!! Cute? Yes!

Happy Cruising JoAnn and Ken! I got the phone number!

Happy school's out (finally) to Bri!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fill us in Debi!!

 

[littleowensmommy]

I've got everyone's cell numbers except Debi.

Bon Voyage JoAnn!

 

[lwilliam]

it was NOT fun getting ready for work this morning, while everyone else in the house was sleeping.
Oh, well, it is Thursday, it will soon be the weekend

AND THEN JoAnn goes
Hey, JoAnn - Bob is away on business next week, have any extra room for me.....

Debs: everything ok in the house? That is such a stupid state law - i'd be scared to death with that one - math and science are my kids least favorite subjects, and their grades always proved it.

Kathy: I want SO MUCH to do that dining plan....we've been talking about it since they announced it, but we are there 10 DAYS and 10 days x 40.00, for four people, really adds up....we DO have the DDE card (just renewed it yesterday)....I really, really, really want to do the plan, but it isn't gonna happen this year.

Hey, Ms. Jenny, betcha your kids will make a bundle on selling water....tell the kids they can buy me a if they make TOO MUCH MONEY!

 

[DisneyMom13]

Kathy - JBJ, what a hunk - definitely in my top 5 of all around hot men - unfortunately, happily married for 16 years with 4 kids, hard to believe. My cousin owns a house out in NJ that is around the block from his house, I have never seen it yet, but I hear it is awesome. And he is such a down to earth guy....ahh to only dream! I am going to email my cell number out to you when I am done with this post.

Lucy - I will be waking your butt out of bed on Thursday night when I get there. The testing is over in our house, now as I say, it is in God's hands. We will know by next Tuesday, the results.

JoAnn - You are on for dancing in Disney, girlfriend. Again, have a great time on your cruise, I will be thinking of you.
