HAHAHAHAHA!!! I hope you get a coupon right in front of your mom!

Once I get a job and am halfway settled, she's going to be unbearable on the grandchild front.

Trunk Bay is St. John's right?

I REALLY wanted to go to St. Johns- but we are in port so short of time..and there was so much travel time to get there.. I knew my kids would rebel!!! So ultimetly I decided against it!

BTW- I am spending my lunch reseraching FE items... Now that the whole dramafest is done...... hahahahaha! I got moved out of your group though over to E- so I have a whole new group...



There is nothing........

I'm looking- I guess we need to pick a point where we decide 'screw it' and just go with David's......Maybe 1 month? What do you think?

Yes, St John. Booked through DCL. I'm too chicken to do it on my own.

Hahaha, I AM in your group now!!! So..I guess I need to watch it!

Looking right now at lunch. Although I'm totally afraid if I spend lunch looking for it, I'll be 945 posts behind on the FB page!

Truth. Or could be 989 posts behind.

Since you have no under 5's.... I am doing small beach kits with pail,shovel and squirt toy... Will probably personalize the bucket with their name....

Very cute idea! I'm going for small/compact easy packing. Avoiding shipping to port if at all possible.

This is why I'm going with small buckets vs the larger ones . I'm hoping to find some at like the dollar store.. tiny. For like the turrets of the castle they build! Perhaps I might just get some sand molds instead.... easier to pack. See, I'm already changing my mind. I can't commit!!! I'm hopeless!!!

I'll make sure to drop loud hints on the boat in front of her!

Shoot girl, look at all those links for me idle away my work day reading tomorrow!!!!!! SWEEETTTTT!!!

I have run "Some" miles- not nearly as much as I should or need to be doing. Probably because I'm too busy reading posts that divert into all aspects of life on FB!

The cruise bit is going to rock!

And I think the reunion of our group should be in England because it's like my favoritest place in the whole world.. (even better than Disney..shhh..don't tell the Dis Boarders!)

Just checking in...so trying to understand all this cruise lingo!

That is exactly what I did last time I was in London- actually!! 2011. But didn't get to spend nearly enough time in either London OR Paris.... And not even a full day in Disneyland Paris (but I loved it- especially the skull island thing & the Alice in Wonderland maze & Phantom Manor & the dragon in the castle).

I am really (really)obsessed with England. The history, the literature, the actors (yum), the BBC. I want to retire there!

I have big plans for my 40th over there. Without kids or hubby. I have two similarly obsessed anglophile friends and we are all going over to celebrate it big! 2 more years till that happens!!! We have plans for pub crawls & British actor stalking. With lots of estate tours & then some more pub crawling.

I didn't get to it today. But I will- oh, I will!

Are you stuck on FE? That's Fish Extender. It's this big thing where you sign up to participate with other cruisers on your boat. Then you hang this fabric thing from the 'fish' that is outside your stateroom for people to put gifts in... the other people who signed up make/buy gifts for you and leave them there & you do the same. It's like a big 'spread of pixie dust'.

I plan on making my gifts but still trying to figure out what to make. It's a LOT of fun! And if you ever go on a cruise- find your FE group and sign up!!!

 

[lauralynn0612]

Really hoping for an England trip someday soon. I have several literature related places I would like to visit. I also have plans to check out the Harry Potter studio. So I think a reunion in England sounds great. Especially combined with a Disneyland Paris visit!

Well there you go! Easy as pie! It's set! Reunion..... Woo! I would like to check out the Harry Potter filming sites as well. I saw Platform 9 3/4ths when I was there last time. But there are many other sights I would like to hunt down (outside the city too!).

 

[Tinker326]

Due to EXTREME pressure from people who will remain unnamed but may have a first name that starts with the letter K and has a screen name that has the word girl & boy in it.....

I have picked my PHM 1/2 running costume.

I have decided to go with Elsa.



It was between Elsa & Olaf. And ultimetly I decided that no one needed to see my fat rolls in white and heaven forbid it rained.. I'd scare all the runners, running in wet white....

So I will go with Elsa and incorporate Olaf into my costume somehow.

This was a tough decision because I'm not really a princess type o' gal. But there it is.... Least this princess isn't pining away on some Prince. SO I like that.

So let the costume planning begin......... and the big question, do I bleach my hair? Hahahaha (yhea. No.)

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

I have no idea who this pushy person you are speaking of is...but glad you made a decision!

I dyed my hair once for Halloween (gypsies don't have blond hair!) And I never dyed it back! Yep. I used to be a blond! It's all starting to make sense to you now, isn't it?

Wig??? White spray stuff??? This is gonna be fun!

What are you exactly doing for YOUR blonde hair required by costume?

I am thinking wig if I can find a cheap, light one- I can look around Halloween I'm thinking............

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Uh...er...hmm...

Maybe I need to go back to blond. It's been 11 years with dark hair...

But then I won't be exotic anymore...

After Halloween a site called buy costumes dot com has a great sale. Who kits for $6 and accessories for less than that. I got a bunch of stuff then for well over half off.

Elsa is not a princess...she is a Queen! And I so think you would be perfect at her! I was reading something last night...and nearly sprayed my computer with what I was drinking...

You know when Elsa sings her final line...The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway...the poster wrote that this was the best OFF line ever delivered by a cartoon character!

I would have to agree...maybe that is why when I am about to explode I start singing Let it Go at the top my lungs (okay in my head anyway).

I am a huge British History buff...I love all the pomp and circumstance! As far as the telly...I love Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife. I have started rewatching the Tutors recently!

And you will not believe this but...this weekend I booked our hotel reservations for the end of our Europe trip for London in August...and of course I had to book the Harry Potter Studio Tour as well as the London Harry Potter Walking tour! EEEK I am so excited...that is what dh gets for having to go fishing in Italy (thus messing up some of our Rome plans) and then when we get to London he has to go to some Gun Store!

I can't wait to see the Tower of London and Westminister Abbey again...I wont tell you how long it has been since I have been to London.

Perhaps the simple answer is to stop dying my hair and let the gray take back over?!?!

You should still be exotic! You are just 'exotic Alice'. Which sounds like a stripper name. Hmmm.. there's a new take on that outfit.....

After Halloween a site called buy costumes dot com has a great sale. Who kits for $6 and accessories for less than that. I got a bunch of stuff then for well over half off.

Very good to know! Thanks! I will peruse since I don't really want to let the gray take back over my head!
