Playing for PIRATES????

Congrats on the !!!!!

I didn't even see one coming I was on at school with one eye on my study hall kids and one eye on the computer. And then the period was over. Won fair and square!!!!!

 

[MrsG]

I've been away for a while, recovering from pneumonia (ICK!!!)

But are we still...

Hope you are feelling better. First one of your daughters has malaria, now pneumonia, bet you can't wait to go to your next assignment.

Way to go JoAnn, winning that pirate!

School today..............weird week.

Snowed this morning and was slick, but started after the buses started running. We all got there o.k. but it was crazy!

Is that coming up, do we know where your going??? Updates.....glad you're back but sorry you've been ill.......Happy New Year!

Yes, we'll be leaving here in mid-June, taking a month or so of vacation (can u say DCL CRUISE!!!) and training, etc. Then heading off to Kampala, Uganda! It will be nice to go to an English-speaking country for a change! I can stop being the family translator!

So if anyone ever wants to visit the source of the Nile, you're welcome to visit!!!

Captain steamy is great! Although, probably will be a more appropriate title in May when the high temps will soar into the 120's!!!!

Wow, you are so brave living in all of those places (I could certainly do with the heat right now.) We just decided to do a weekend trip so Tracy (DD21) can visit a grad school in Miami ........... ..........we just want to be there for support of course!

well, don't answer that - I DO know that answer

OK, Ms Weather Lady wants to tell you we are going to have a snowstorm on Saturday, including YOUR area. You better fly out Friday and come home Monday. I can't believe you won't be home to watch YOUR Eagles! I told that girl to go to grad school in Philly!

What an exciting life! I'd love to come visit the Nile, but I guess I'll have to settle for WDW & DCL. We had some friends that visited the Nile and many other places during a two week cruise. They loved it. Enjoy the rest of your time there. Be safe.

Back to sewing ten hooded animal bath towels for infants for gifts.......

Sounds like 'we' found someone who can sew!
I smell FE!

 

[tinkerbell_29]

Ugh we got snow but no snow day. I don't mind if it snows and we get the day off but I hate driving in it and having to be out. Ugh I've been of the Magic just a short time and I'm already wondering how I can make six months without warm weather and sunshine. I think I need to move to Florida. Hope everyone is having a good week.

Just checking in... Quietly reading - and watching all that is going on, and counting down... Hope everyone had a great new year -

So, what was the "oddest" gift that you got this last Christmas - and are you going to bring it on the cruise with you?

Oddest gift? My parents who are visiting from Chicago, took advantage of driving down by wrapping up childhood board games and re-gifting them to us. Considering they were more than likely Christmas gifts the first time, they're really getting their money's worth I am now the proud owner of my original Life game (I can't stand the updated edition)and Happy Days game, among others...

They're too big to pack, but I'm sure we'll be bringing a few card games.

I actually bought my FE from Ebay. There are some Amazing FEs that people had made for their cruises though. Tomorrow I should get my embroidery machine back. It broke in the middle of making a Christmas gift of course. Once in a crazy moment I decided to make 25 flannel soccer pillowcases for my DD's teammates and other friends, and I added their name to each one. Twenty-five on paper didn't look like a lot, but in real life they sure took up a lot of room. I think I have spatial problems.

Still wishing for snow.......

Not until the 30th.......do you really think the Eagles will be in the SB?

Do you make personalized pillowcases for other people too? I tried to get pillowcases for my DDs last DCL cruise to have the characters sign, but the woman who was going to make them ran into difficulties (technical and workload) and we never got them. I'm happy to reimburse for materials and time. (But I completely understand if you don't want to start a trend!)

Our Ambassador kept teasing me every time we had a Christmas party because I kept requesting "White Christmas" or "Let it snow!" (She plays the piano.) I can wish, can't I???

 

[SC Minnie]

We rarely get snow here- maybe once a year- and if they predict even flurries the grocery stores are slammed with people- not really sure why. One flake and they start sending the kids home from school!


Its been a while since we checked into this thread. We got our Christmas trip behind us so we can start focusing more on this cruise!

 

[jlawall]

We're supposed to get 4 inches tomorrow, ON SATURDAY! What's the point of that??

DITTO, although we are supposed to go north to Albany tomorrow for a Sci. competition. We shouldn't be too bad on Long Island, but the area we need to travel through may get 10 inches. I don't want to be stuck somewhere with 12 children that are not mine!!! I think we're cancelling. I'd actually rather shovel. (UGH!)
