July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 3

[AnnaS]

1 room down 5 to go and that's only if I skip the family room.

I just had to take a break as a reward for finishing one room.

I'm pathetic I know.

Only 34 days to go

I thought you were turning off your computer?

What happened?

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

LUCKY U!!

Thank you

 

[jlawall]

You and me, must be USA Speak!!!

HAHAHAHA................I know what Donkey Kong is but I don't know what Bryan meant by that post either!!

 

[AnnaS]

OK so for dinner tonight we have Chinese takeaway ...no cooking

Same here Isabel.

 

[jlawall]

Thank you, you never cease to amaze me with your talents and computer work.

Thanks Mary Jo.

Yes, MJ is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jlawall]

My computer or the network must be lagging. I had sent that message when we were near the last I was trying to be witty and it failed. See, I'm a terrible pirate hunter.

Brian

Sorry I misspelled your name..............what is the Donkey Kong connection??

My 9 year old was only 3 lbs and 5 ounces, he was born at 32-33 weeks too. He can wear a 10 with a belt, but really he barely fills an 8. We always pass down his brothers close to him if they are still in good shape. I also buy for both when I get new, usually matching outfits. So poor Garet has a lot of double clothes because he still hasn't outgrown his. We started going through his closet today to give away to church. i found size 4 and 5 that fit him.

Funny thing, I threw away an old pair of swimming trunks of Ethan's just last weekend after he'd worn them for his Saturday morning swimming lesson that he said were "too tight round his bits" they were age 2 - 3 His favourite pair of 3/4 length shorts are actually age 18 - 24 months he's just got no hips and no backside so everything seems to fit forever

We booked for that Barcelona Segway tour on July 25 at 5pm, is anybody else from our cruise doing it?

We're doing the morning tour on July 27th.

We arrive July 25, plan on going to Monserrat on the 26th, and are taking the Segway tour on the 27th, as well as the Fountain meet at night. Somewhere in there, I'd like to visit the Spanish town with the tapas & Flamenco dancing since I don't think we'll be going the first day on the ship - we'll be wanting to explore the ship!

Laura,

I just finished reading about 10 pages (from last night). I have been replying to threads here and there. I thought I replied to yours when you posted the pictures of the zip-off pants.

Unless I missed it, it did not come though. I am doing everything in a hurry now. I want to thank you very, very much for taking the time to do this.

It is so hard to choose when you cannot see them. I have finally ordered a pair for dh from Eddie Bauer. I hope dh likes them, wears them and hopefully they fit.

I thank you again.

I will try so post again w/the other reason I have been busy all day. Pehaps later - gotta get a few more things done for now.\

My wife (Perdie -on the boards) and I made a last minute booking for the July 28 Cruise as we are Americans living in London and since the price dropped so much we decided it was kind of a no brainer. We have never been on a Disney Cruise before in fact I made suprise reservations to take my wife on the Eastern Caribbean in Feb 2008 for her 30th birthday. Needless to say were excited about this trip and why we haven't had quite the countdown most have had on this thread we still can't wait to take our first Disney Cruise.

glad to have you aboard.

I've been doing everything else but clean. I've made curtains for DD13 bedroom. painted woodwork, made dining room chair slipcovers, installed a new light in DD13 room, re wired all her electrical outlets and switches.

I even went to the store and bought meatballs already made and shells already stuffed. I've never done that before. I always cook from scratch but I really have to clean and I told myself that I could use the extra time saved from cooking to get the cleaning done and intead I'm happily typing away.

AS dd13 would say. "MM BAD"

You've been busy. I know what you mean though. I have 'back-ups' in the freezer for those days when I have too many things to do.

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm so mad right now If you could see me you'd see the steam coming out of my ears

I won't bore you with all the details surfice it to say that right now both the kids are banished to their bedrooms and are not allowed to come out until their Father gets home. All this and I've only been home 5 mins !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh-Oh, Oldest son had one of those recently. His bedroom though is a library, so i banished him to his brother's room and removed all books. With him if I need to punish him, forget the corner, just ban reading for a few days.

1 room down 5 to go and that's only if I skip the family room.

I just had to take a break as a reward for finishing one room.

I'm pathetic I know.

Only 34 days to go

I like this idea - clean one room, ketchup. Clean another room, ketchup. Might have to try it. Well, might.

Welcome everyone

Your Vacation begins in 35 Days ​

I'm so happy. We leave the evening of the 26th.

You and me, must be USA Speak!!!

Yep - USA speak.

DH is home...the boys have been "spoken to" and they are now allowed out of their rooms

That's good to hear. I hope that they are remorseful for whatever it was they did, and not just that they got into trouble.

I always ask them 'Are you saying you're sorry because you regret it, or because you got caught?'

It looks like about 60 DISers will be on our cruise, and we're bringing over 270 people!

Thanks Mary Jo - these lists are great.

BTW - How do you post a document? I can post a picture, is it much the same?

I had a night like this the other day and.......................apparently my family felt that I had "issues." They ended up with issues of their own before I was thru with them!!

Just had the 'mom that's not fair' argument because i asked them to unload the dishwasher and fold a load of laundry before they could play Mario Kart again.

I pulled out The Red Hen and asked if we needed to revisit the book.

Standard capacity is 2,400, ( 1750 at double occupancy) maximum is 3,000.

So we are close to 10% of the ship, if it isn't full, the percentage is higher!

Hmmm............I think the Navigators should mention our DISmeet on Sunday.............!!!

 

[jlawall]

You are scaring me. You know - I supposedly have a 1/2 sister that was born late 60's - 71. I don't know her name as my dad died before i could ask.

I have white tile with tiny white grout lines in the kitchen. When I clean I break out the clorox pens and do the grout lines. Leave it overnight, then clean it up in the morning. Makes the grout look great. in fact, i think tonight I will be doing that as DH has told me he is working from now till July 15th. Of course, there's always more walls to paint...



you too? Just dropped off our prescriptions from the DR today at target. He's going on vacation next week and doesn't get back until it's time for us to leave. Figured I better get stocked up before then.

I started gathering all the little things I want to bring and dumping them into the suit case to see how much room they take up. I'm always thinking of something more. Eventually I will make a list and sort it by priority. that way, I pack in order, and when the bag is full, whatever is left stays home.


I love it. Of course you can.

So - i had my friend who is an art major play with the quotes. What we decided was to take the image of mickey and center it, then wrap all the quotes around it. We have two ideas, either make them swirl around the circle, or just plain back and forth. The standard back and forth is easy. the swirl is hard to read, but looks cool. I need to set a deadline, perhaps first week of July. And then those will be the taglines I go with. With all the new tags, I am updating the list daily.

Also - Pirate or Mickey shape between each person? I thought about doing a multi pirate based on how many pirates you have gotten, but then I think Helen would have a whole line of just Pirates, then her name.



My 9 year old was only 3 lbs and 5 ounces, he was born at 32-33 weeks too. He can wear a 10 with a belt, but really he barely fills an 8. We always pass down his brothers close to him if they are still in good shape. I also buy for both when I get new, usually matching outfits. So poor Garet has a lot of double clothes because he still hasn't outgrown his. We started going through his closet today to give away to church. i found size 4 and 5 that fit him.

Your plan sounds great...............can you do a sample for us to look at before the final is done? I think I want to change my tag??

:

I like that. Note to self remember to use that when the boys are next saying sorry for whatever they've done/not done




I pulled out The Red Hen and asked if we needed to revisit the book.

What is The Red Hen book ???

 

[jlawall]

I like this idea - clean one room, ketchup. Clean another room, ketchup. Might have to try it. Well, might.

That's what I plan to do!!

I agree, on the 2005 repo there were many mentions for the Disboards on the cruise including by Rachel the Cruise Director.

 

[kidcoos3]

Welcome aboard. So, gang, do we count them among the Brits or the Yanks?

Mary Jo, thanks for the PPT and the other info. What is "Passport Watch?"

I think we need to listen for an accent before deciding

JoAnn,

Sounds like a fun day. It's a little overcast here today and thunderstorms expected. Not really a beach day. But I have 13-14 people coming for dinner tonight so I really have to clean. I just find any excuse not to and then 1/2 hour before they arrive I go into panic mode.

I don't like to be that way but I'd rather do almost anything than clean.

Sandra

My long lost twin

I've been doing everything else but clean. I've made curtains for DD13 bedroom. painted woodwork, made dining room chair slipcovers, installed a new light in DD13 room, re wired all her electrical outlets and switches.

I love the "wait til your father gets home . . ."

WOW all you folks waiting for passports..I hope that you all get them in time

DH and I didn't need to renew - the kids did though. Luckily, DH and I took them on the last day of last year's summer vacay

If it's possible I think the swilling round version would just look the bees knees and Pirate Mickey between them as it's been such a blast with all the lurkers and fluffing it would be a great reminder
