Hope the house and Bob are ok.................keep celebrating, LuLu, you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lwilliam]

Anyone else want to gloat??

ME! When you are taking your last course, I'LL be in WDW

Although, we've heard HORROR stories how crowded it is going to be when we take the kids down the last weekend in March - parents are trying to get reservations at ANY Disney hotel, and ANY Disney campground and they are ALL full!
Told Bob, I think I'll just sit for 12-14 hours on a bench, by a food cart....
, in my Red Mickey Crocs, and wait for people to come to me!

Today is a work day for me....Bob works 12-9 today (his FIRST full day in awhile), I'm kindof looking forward to it.

Could use some conversation on here today, friends.

Man, what a night! I took Mal to a basketball team party at 6. The mom who was hosting told me she would call when they were done. I came home to discover Mark out cold, so I thought I would lay on the couch and watch some TV, especially Grey's. I WOKE UP AT 9:30!!! Luckily Steph hadn't called yet!!! I came back home and went to bed at 11. I wake up to sunshine, look at the clock and it was 10:00 A.M. Do you think I was tired????

So LuLu is home with her just as I am!! JoJo is at school? Oh JoJo, I remember those Master's days (yes, 20 years ago!! ). Just think, that means a raise when you are done, right????

It's really been a rough week. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say X is trying to make my life miserable and doing a great job!

It's individual ticket day in St. Louis, so my store is getting some action! I have been working on updating sales, etc. Baseball is up and running. We are listening to the Reds on the radio now. It sounds so wonderful to hear baseball!!! I am ready for some games! We will actually see five next week. We are seeing the Twins and Cards in Ft. Myers and the Reds four other times in Sarasota. That is the life!!!

M&M have been telling us the plan for WDW since we are only there Sat. & Sun. as far as park time. Marshall plans to be at AK when it opens Sat. even though our plane doesn't land in Tampa until 11 PM Friday night!!! I am going to try to call and make ressies for LeCellier for Sat. late lunch. It may be too late. I did get a great deal on a rental thanks to Mousesavers.com. We got a mini van for less than a full size car we would normally rent!

 

[jlawall]

Ok, I'M JEALOUS!! Jenjen is planning her FL trip AND I'M SUFFERING IN A GRAD COURSE ALL W/E!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, there is a final pay raise AFTER MY LAST COURSE AT THE END OF MARCH............my problem is that I can't sit still for this amount of time!!!!!!!!!!! UUURRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, have fun, Jenni, I know you all will!!!

LuLu! I wish I'll be with you at the end of the month!!! We're going to visit our lovely daughter the first week in April..............

TrayTray is under the weather...........she contracted a fever and cough........hopefully, she'll recover by her flight on Tuesday...............

Ken's dad is back in the hospital.............

I hope EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING A NICE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jfis1020]

How ironic! Tray Tray and Mal Mal both have the exact same thing! She has sat pathetically in my chair in front of the TV all day!! I went grocery shopping and she stayed home with Mark and never moved!

So, LuLu wants us to keep her company today and does she even check in?

 

[Albill]

yoah Traciski.. that's not cool.... you are supposed to get sick after you return from spring break I guess your just working to hard on the school work.... Any how ...have a good time..
Well Joanski if your gonna stay in fancy hotels,you better get them extra classes for them extra bucks next time, get one that has the phone next to the hopper
I replaced the lite bulbs again in Brig..
So ,everytime I try to correct the ticker thing I end up on a fertilization page, they keep asking me when will I ovalate again,etc.. Imust be on the wrong page....
Hey Lynn... I just learned about the Aviation Memorial in Duxford...I was wondering if you have ever visited it..?? I understand it has been in existance for 10 years...Things like that really gets my attention....

 

["Got Disney"]

Hi everyone...I come bearing flowers to ask you all some questions about your Mexican Riviera cruise in 2005 Hope you all don't mind the interuption

We live in SanDiego and have been to theses ports before years ago...but did not due excursions through the ship we were on. Have been on DCL 6 other times...and while you were doing the MR that year we did the Repo cruise...We will be doing a back to back Mexican Riviera using DVC pts and other week cash...could not due Repo cruise again due to kids being in Highschool this time around...

I haev a Thread for when we are going and would like to bring as much info to thenm as possible.

Was hoping you could tell me of your excursions and how much you liked them and also what night Pirate night was on...Was it on the night you were at PV and was it Wed?

Did any of you use your DVC pts and if so how many pts was it at that time...see they have not givin us the pts value yet...still waiting for them...

I went to the link that Got Disney gave and posted some information!

Happy Sunday all! I bet JoJo is sleeping in after that master's class! LuLu is probably making the coffee......mine is done!!

Hope all is well.......where's Debi??? Lynn??? Hope you guys are doing well!

 

[jfis1020]

 

[Albill]

Yeah.... it's a bummer...... winter is to long I watched the Phillies get clobbered by the Yankees...looked to be cool down in Clearwater also.....
Hey, I found out that Jess's boy friend is a "wrestler".... boy that breaks me up... We all know that Wrestlers have all the moves.... I was under the impression that the kid played football ,but a wrestler

oh well, another month of this crap %$#^%,, brace up....

 

[jlawall]

NEVER speak to DaddyO again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He has NO self-control............seriously, I guess that's where I get it from!!!

No, Jenster, I was in my grad course all day AGAIN. It's now over but I still have to do the HW! Yuck! I'm taking off tomorrow b/c TrayTray is still sick!! I have to get her better so I can ship her off to Tara!!

Really, Louster, I had an excuse, what's yours??

The Amazing Race & Apprentice tonight......

On a serious note, things are still pretty serious tonight for Ken's dad.......please keep him in your prayers..............

Come back Lynn & Debster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LynnTarrant]

Sorry you guys busy weekend I'm in Nottingham right now conference tomorow I'm staying at the National College for School Leaders. I've never stayed anywhere so swish....how did the government get to spend money on this but our schools are falling down around our ears!!!!

Bill I know there is an air museum at Duxford but I didn't know about the memorial I've never been there Keith may know more.

JoJo did I miss a PM from you re eating dinner together of course we'd love to do that we are late seating how about you?

Allseas travel that Debi put us in touch with asked if we'd like to go on the wait list for the new ship of course we said yes!!! who knows what we'll be doing in 2011 and 2012 but I'd love to be on those ships and if Alaska is the destination even better!!

Hope Mallory anbd Tracy feel better soon.

 

[jfis1020]

Lynn ~ Thanks for checking in!! You have only raised my age old question! It's amazing what they have money for when THEY want to! My old school was so dirty and full of asbestos. FINALLY, five years ago we got a new school and our health insurance claims for allergy related illnesses has declined probably something like 50%!!

JoJo...sorry, I thought you were in class on Sat. only. Poor Tray Tray...she definitely has to get better for her trip....

I think Mal Mal is on the mend! She is just stopped up, but a little Benadry will put her to sleep for a while! She was back to arguing with Marshall today. And to think the poor guy picked her out some new hair clips at Wally World last night because he felt sorry for her!

Now where are Debi and Lucy???

 

[lwilliam]

and LOST everything.....stubborn me got angry and logged out of the thread!

I was telling you guys (earlier) yesterday was not such a great day for me. My best friend called last night, her father passed away....we knew it was coming, the big "C" word again. Another funeral this week.
Bryan and I had words last evening, surprise, surprise
Bob worked all day/night, i really missed him, he has been working half days since he got sick...i was really lonely yesterday.
I started cleaning out my mom's apartment, it was really sad

TODAY I found my 'mum' a Phillies game to watch, her first one of the season....she was, for the first time in months, smiling when i came back into her room. She even remembered (her memory is failing) the Phillies lost and Yankees won (she gave me a funny grin because I've always been a Yankee fan)....now, all we need to do is get this season started so she has something to watch on TV!

I've learned a NEW WORD from Lynn: swish....I LOVE it!

Oh, Joannster, Ken's dad....I'm so sorry....what is going on with everyone....this is a bad time of year, isn't it....thinking about you guys

I LOVE Benadryl for children, although when Tyler was young, and we drove to Florida, it never worked for him....just the opposite....not that I tried to put my children to sleep

Tyler has a day off tomorrow again - teacher in-service - I DO love when he has off, though. He is a MONSTER to get up and moving in the mornings.

 

["Got Disney"]

Thank you so very much for coming over to my thread and bringing some more insight to all of us As you know each cruise is special and when people like you can share your experiances it makes it even more special!!!

So I have brought you all a pizza some soda and ice cream Sundaes and for those of you that might like a I brought that also but this is my favorite a BIGbox of chocolet(sp)....Thanks again and enjoy

 

[jlawall]

Boy Robin! You've got GREAT similies..........did ya see those LuLu??? Robin, stop by anytime, we'd be happy to help out. Some of us (not me ) are going back next summer as well to the West Coast cruises!!

Loosey, sorry about your friend's dad................Ken's dad could still pull out, we'll find out soon! Sorry about Brian, did he start working yet?

Yes, Lynn, I did PM you about late dinner ressies........someone from "your side of the pond!" wanted to link to our ressies so I added her. The All Seas guy told me that he needs your reservation number to add you as well. Somehow, you are tentatively linked right now but we need to make it official! Also, Helen (Mrs. Jobba) said she had a 8pm time which we linked to (she is also a teacher!) As you know,"the rents" are with us as well!! PM me and we'll resolve this!!

I also am on the waiting list for the inaugural cruises of 2010 or 2011? I have no idea how that will work but what the heck? ALL OF US should sign on (can you imagine, a brand new DCL ship!!!)

I am now "up" with a head cold............bummer..........glad Mallory is back! Tray Tray will hopefully start recovering tomorrow, I'm taking off so I can nurse her back to health (and ship her out on Tuesday!) I still have to write another paper to finish the course..........

 

[jfis1020]

JoAnn ~ YOu poor thing! I hope Tracy and you will heal quickly. Please give Ken my love and support!
Lucy ~ Your friend is in my prayers with Ken and JoAnn as well.

 

[jlawall]

Hey all............Tracy is doing better today.............I just have a head cold, I'm glad I took off, I slept all morning! Hope all are well.................

 

[jfis1020]

Hurray for Tra Tra!! I hope you get better too soon JoJO!!

I am home today. Remember the X comment? Well, it's taking its toll on me and I literally couldn't function, so I went into my boss' office and filled her in. She called a sub and I left! I am home alone and it feels good. I can get some peace for a little while.

I am praying for Lucy's friend, Ken's dad and anyone else who need it....

Your friendship here has really given me strength and I will need to count on you the next few weeks.....................

WDW couldn't have come at a better time!!!

 

[lwilliam]

...I'm also having an emotional day, as is Jenski ....and maybe everyone else.

Today I get to work, and get a phone call that my friend here at work, who I share a birthday with, and is a year older than I am, just had a stroke last night. She is very sick and won't allow anyone to go to see her....I'm REALLY worried. Some pixie dust here

THEN, one of my professors who is like a son comes in this morning and tells me his mother is very, very ill and she is in Florida and he doesn't know what to do....so, another breakdown from Lucy.

Then my girlfriend calls that lost her dad....so, another breakdown from Lucy.

And, I'm so worried about everyone else on here, all of you guys.....
you are truly my special friends ..... I wish ALL of you would live closer to me!

AND, it is snowing!
