Hi all. I rarely post over the weekend - too much to do to get to a computer.

I too would like to hear about formal attire. I planned on a black floor length dress (I wouldn't consider it a gown at all!) with great sequins/sparkles on it. I'm still waffling for semi-formal. I've gained too much wait to fit into my little black cocktail dress. But that's okay. I'm at that stage now where I THINK I have everything but I have that terrible feeling like I'm forgetting stuff. I keep going over my lists and looking at my BIG piles.

I think we are going for 3 luggage bags that stack inside of each other.

Is anyone else having trouble figuring out if they have "enough" lotions and stuff. Usually when we go away on week vacations to the beach or some tropical spot, I don't worry cause I can always pick up something at a drug store. But I dont' want to spend my island days searching for a drug store for extra sun tan lotion. Am I being too worried?

11 days !!!!!
+100 more!!!

Scratch - I like buzzboy mom will be wearing a floor length dress. I didn't want to look like a bridesmaid or going to the prom. I love the way you embarassed DD, Sarah thinks I try to embarass her (of couse she's right).

buzzboymom - I'm bringing a new large size sunscreen for the girls, and one for me. DH doesn't burn so he's fine. I want to try tho find a mist on one for the parts in the girls hair after they've had it braided. Don't worry about finding a store, I'm sure one of us will have enough supply and will be more then happy to share with a fellow dis'er.

I'm having a very hard time keeping my mind on work, I need to be doing important things like making lists and packing!!!!!!

 

[DBMagic]

Hello everyone!!!!

Just a quick question, Is anyone putting up door decorations?

 

[Scratch42]

Work, who can think about work!

Door Decorations, have everything to do something but it's one of those projects that "I still have plenty of time for!"LOL

Lotions - I'm sure between all of us we could probably supply the whole ship! That's one thing that I usually overpack! The Sun is Stronger! DD who usually does not burn, found out the hard way! And that was just a few hours on CC!

Well it's snowing here! At least the temps are warmer! I don't know which is worse! The cold or snow!LOL

Well better get something done around here. Yeah, like it won't be here when I get back!

Scratch - I sent you a PM!

As far as formal goes, I'm wearing something long but it's those flowing pants that look like a skirt! Black and silver.

I'm having a hard time finding sunscreen. I have some stuff left over from the summer but probably not enough. My dermatologist told me to only use products that contain avobenzone, zinc oxide or parsol 1729. It's sometimes hard to find even in the summer months! Banana Boat Kids has products with zinc oxide and spray-ons with avobenzone but none of my discount stores have any BB products right now. Guess I'll keep checking.

Does anyone know if they do hair wraps on board? Allie doesn't think she wants to do the braiding but would like a hair wrap. Anyone?

 

[mariamard]

www.drugstore.com try this for your sunscreens.if you want to wait ,everywhere in florida before you board will have products-but drugstore.com is great. free shipping with orders over $50

It's getting closer to Mickey Boat time!

Walmart has sun screen out.

I have bought magnetic paper, but it is still on my do to list.

Made the DD Pink Minnie pillowcases for the characters to sign.

Right now we are having a heat wave 30F.

I am doing a project for all who have given names and Cabin #'s.

It is basic but will have the date, names and a message to each family!!! Also a small pic.

Formal wear: I have a floor length deep ice blue dress. Mom has a black formal pant outfit.

Penny

PS:
Just waiting on one more family to response to a PM then I will produce my items. If you do not have your names or cabin number on the list from BuzzBoyMom then at this point, I have not made one for you yet PM me, I check each day.

 

[DBMagic]

Thank you Penny for doing that.

11 more days until we get away from this miserable winter weather.

That is very nice of you!

I've been working on a few door/room decor things in between all of the other pre-cruise stuff. I planned on decoration(s) of some sort as DW will have her b-day while we're on the cruise.

Lisa - sounds like your plate is full to overflowing. All the more reason you need a vacation. Stop stressing, what gets done gets done. If the kids don't have pillow cases or you don't have door decorations the world won't come to an end. If you only bring your bathing suit, dinner will still go on. I have adopted this attitude, because I have about 4 weeks of work to accomplish between now and next Thursday, will probably have to sleep at work for the next week, so whatever I don't have done won't be happening.

But, at least we can say in less then two weeks I will be in the sun and out of this god forsaken weather at least for a week.

Keep your chin up, and here's some pixie dust for you.
