Arrg!

I was really afraid, y'all would hit it tonight. We're going to the Cubs/Astros game tonight.

 

[mickeymo]

Hey, I have to share the credit with you!!! If it wasn't for your quiz, I don't think we would have gotten to the pirate until later....

 

[3princessMommy]

I got the "you're posting too fast" message and had to wait.

Congrats Mo! Great racing!

Lauren is taking French in high school. When we were in Paris last summer it really made me want to learn French. The scene at the bistro with our friends where the poor waiter spoke no English and us no French was absolutely hilarious. The owner was in the background rolling on the floor. Lauren asked for the bill in French - and the waiter was like "WHAT?" finally had to show him the iPhone so that he could see what we were trying to say....

I can usually figure out Italian and Spanish - French was more difficult.

Worked out yesterday - but supposed to do so again tomorrow - too bad mean boss person scheduled a meeting in the middle of my workout!

Of course, instead of doing it tonight - I'm snacking and chattin' on the DIS!!!

I have to laugh - it catches me off guard to see "tonight" at 3:00 in the afternoon....

 

[3princessMommy]

Mo - what does your siggie mean? PDFG???

They design it that way just to confuse the Americans!

What about you guys posting at the ungodly hours of midnight to 3am!

It's almost bedtime for me - got a meeting in the morning with our wonderful elected officials...

Pixie Dust for a DIS cruise friend's ongoing health concerns who was supposed to join the Blabbermouth Group on our 2006 cruise. Unfortunately, he was not able to join us on the cruise. He did travel down to join a few of the pre-cruise meets and He watched us sail away from the jetty beyond the pier - it was a bittersweet sail away. Our group still chats and we're hoping to coordinate a reunion cruise so he can sail away with us next time!

I think this usually means Crystal Palace. I took me a while to remember it though. There are just so many abbreviations, it's impossible to keep up with them all.

What time in the AM should we leave CBR to get to RD at MK? We have an ADR at CRT and we want to use FP for BTMRR before PHing to DHS for ToT, F! and EMH.

If you can understand all that, there's something seriously wrong with you.

CP does stand for crystal Palace sorry have a bad habit of abrev everything. Oh my i could read the whole sentence and knew what it is saying. I'm in trouble.

Virgil,

I guess I lucked out - I did my homestay the summer of 84 during the LA Olympics. Everywhere I went, everyone wanted to practice their English. Then again maybe I didn't luck out - I had to sing the national anthem every time it was shown (and they televised all the events and medal ceremonies...) - It seemed like the US won every medal that year!!!

 

[mickeymo]

Forgot, I guess I need to choose my pirate name...

How about "Pirate Cavendish" since we were talking about PEI and Anne of Avonlea around that time...

I've procrastinated long enough to run out of time for a workout. I have to go change my clothes and get ready to head to the ball park. John and the kids should be home soon.

Of course we did! The Soviets boycotted that year! Not much competition

Yep! Bedtime for me!

Night all!

(Can't wait to read everyone's answers in the morning!!!)

1: What is your favorite movie genre? Action/Adventure

2: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? Star Wars would also be my choice if allowed. Otherwise, I'll go with It's a Wonderful Life. I truly get choked up every time I watch it every Christmas Eve.

3: What kind of music do you like? Classic rock from 70s and 80s as well as classical.

4: How do you like to listen to it? (I-pod, CD, cassette, good ol' LP, etc.) CD is still preferred, but I'm really starting to appreciate the convenience and packaging of the whole iPod/iTunes system.

5: If you could go to one place to visit - where would it be? I've always wanted to see Angkor Wat, and was very close when we visited Thailand. The the extra hop over to Cambodia didn't fit into our plans.

6: Do you speak a foreign language? If so, which one? If not, which one do you wish you'd learnt? A little bit of Fench, a little bit of Spanish, a little bit of Russian, and a little bit of German. I'm too horrible a student and too reluctant a speaker to learn any language all the way. I have to say, I think Russian is my favorite.

7: If you could meet one person on earth, who would it be? I was trying to think of someone noble like Nelson Mandela, Barak Obama, or the Pope. But honestly, I'd love to meet Ozzie Smith - my favorite past player on my favorite baseball team.

8: What car do you drive? If Joann#2 is claiming the Toyota Highlander (I guess the title is in her name), I guess I'm left with the Chrysler Town&Country - the minivan.

9: What is your dream job? Travel review writer (if only I didn't have to write so much).

10: How long have you been planning this cruise? See Joann#2's answer.
