We are officially under 100 days... YIPPEE!!

Boy, did I need that good news....we've had a rough week - lost a really GREAT friend, who was also coming on this cruise......never, EVER experienced what I experienced this week. In fact, not just me, our whole family.....Enough said...don't wanna bring you down!

Bob, Tyler and I are headed to Washington DC early tomorrow morning, for a short vacation, coming home Sunday night....we were going to cancel our short trip, but we really, really need to get away....I won't be taking our computer so I want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter.....enjoy your time with family and friends.

 

[jfis1020]

are heading out of town! We are heading to Cincinnati (again, you'll find we do this a lot during baseball season) for the Reds/Pirates. I will return tomorrow since DS12 is being confirmed on Sunday!

I am with Lucy............it's been a tough week here too. Our sympathies go out to the Williams' and their friends. We had the privledge of meeting the deceased and doing the Princess Breakfast with him and his family a couple of years ago. The world is a better place because Dave spent time here........'nuf said.

Under 100 days.................THAT'S AWESOME!

Hi Everyone............I really need to get back on these boards. I am so behind by at least 40 pages. It looks like a lot is going on. With the spring break and my guys' trip to New Mexico this summer, there is only so much time in a day.

Williams' family have a safe trip. Hugs to all of about your friend.

SECOND BRUNCH GROUP

Still looking for people to sign up for a second DIS group brunch in the private dining room.

We can go up to 14 people but only have 5 friends at this point. Once we get the numbers, I will need reservation munbers to fax to DCL.

So far:
Dizzyworld (1)
luv2boys (2)
Ramule (2)

Please join us!! Let me know so we can get this party started.

Please note that if we are lucky enough to get the private room and you have another brunch reservation, they will cancel your reservation. A person can only hold one brunch reservation until they board.

Finally caught up....I think......

Getting some things done for the cruise this week. We finally broke down and applied for our passports today. I had to have my DS and mine photos re-done from earlier this week. From the look of the photo apparently my DS had spent time in prison. It was a terrible photo. Plus they made him put his short hairs behind his ears??? And I looked like the crypt keeper. I asked my DH if that was what I really looked like because it wasn't the face I usually see in the mirror. Plus I ended up with blonde hair when my hair is brown. Love the new pictures now. Glad I had them re-done.

I have 48 individual FE gifts that just need to be packed. Not sure what I will do if we go over 48 since I can't get anymore. I wanted to be ahead of the game this time. Last time I did Disney Cruise CDs for each cabin, and personalized DIS group logo chocolate bars. And for a few friends, I made Mickey Mouse flannel pillowcases. All of this took time, although I did like the CDs. A fellow DISer had made and gave away 2 CDs of Disney cruise music plus some other summer songs. I took just the Disney songs and copied to one CD. It worked out.

I tried to pay off the cruise today but the AAA agent is away until Monday.

Joann #2....love the Easter Egg Hunt pictures!!!! What beautiful girls you have in your life. Your egg hunt photos brought back so many memories of egg hunts we used to host. We started small in the first year and ended up filling 2000 eggs for our next to the last egg hunt. It took forever. I remember the kids and I sitting around just filling eggs for a few days. The last egg hunt we had we changed it up a little since they were older. We did a night time egg hunt with flashlights. It was a lot of fun. Found some of those eggs in the summer though. Enjoy your other egg hunt this weekend.

 

[Dizzyworld]

Is there a name for our DIS group yet for this cruise?

 

[MrsG]

Lucy, so very sorry for your loss.

I think we just say "Cruisin' to Tortola" as our Dis name for the cruise.

Welcome back Dizzyworld!

If you look at Jenny's post she has the emblem which says "Mutiny on the Magic" I think that's a good slogan for us! Hey Maryann, what's the name of that tshirt website? It's time to order our sweatshirts!

That's what I was wondering if that was the "official" slogan/logo for our group. I wasn't sure if I missed it reading all the pages to catch up.

Welcome back Dizzyworld!

Thanks. I can't believe how much I had missed. Once they added those teenagers to my class a few weeks ago, I was just wiped out on all levels. Who would have thought a handful could be so stressful? We are an adult program and they just aren't ready for it. And I know I'm the last stop for them getting their diploma. Luckily I team teach with a wonderful woman who is there for support. She shares the same teenagers. Anyway, things should lighten up in a few short weeks. I only have 5 more math classes to teach.

The trip to New Mexico will be fun for my guys but we are now into fine tuning this trip. My DH is leading 23 people on this trip. First thing is to arrange transportation from where we live to Dullas Airport which is near DC and about 2 hours away from home. They haven't been given their flight times about told it would be around 7 AM. The return isn't any better. They should return around midnight. One estimate for 12 people was $900. When I think of the cost of a towncar to Port C., it doesn't sound so bad.

And I finally made reservations to WDW for the Food and Wine Festival for just my DH and I. I was excited because it was the first time I have ever recieved a pin code. Nice to save 40% off the resort rate. I've always wanted to go to this event and see the Halloween decorations. Still not sure I can leave the kids behind?

Nite all.....................
