March 11, 2006 - 7 Day Magic

[kcarl021]

Ok, I have found something that works better than Airborne. It's called WINE! And boy, I feel better now than I have all week!

I seriously want to crawl in a hole until Friday (when we leave!)

BTW, I can't wear Lime green BUT... my mom, my friend Heidi, and I, are planning to wear our Shamrock sunglasses to the party on deck 10 soooo..... look for us with the lime green shamrock sunglasses!!! (We shan't be hard to miss!)

Man, 4 more days of work. Why does this seem like the longest 4 days of my life???

My husband just came over and sprayed me with a can of Lysol!!!! Haha!

Wow I missed 3 pages this weekend! You guys have been busy. We spent the weekend at various hockey practices & DH & I went to the "Musher's Ball". The Iditarod started this weekend. It is basically an excuse for a 2 week party because we still have a LONG TIME before summer. We, however, have 4 days until summer! I'm so excited! Three more days of work, then off to FL.

We are basically packed, and have a crazy three days at work ahead of us.
See you guys soon!

Hey, Wheres Leslie with our Good morning Cruisers update

I just got off the phone with Shirley, and she is just the nicest person ever. I did a basket for each of my sons and one for Ben. They each know about the others basket but have no idea about their own. Im a sneaky one.

Kc, Hope your homeopathic remedy worked!! . I went to my gf house for dinner last night and had my own medicinal concoction. An Incredible Hulk. Ever heard of it? Its Hypnotiq with Hennesy...mmmmmm
My dss are feeling better, but my dh feels lousy. I think id rather have the kids be sick than HIM. I was glad to get invited somewhere for dinner. . Daddy needed some alone time to rest anyway!

Im really gonna start packing today. Really I am!

 

[I'mWong]

Castaway...thanks for making the description of Shirley clearer. When I went back and read what I wrote, I guess I didn't really explain who she was or what she did. What did you get in your basket for your kids? This is our first time to order from her.

SK8ting mom...I bet the mushing ball is a blast! I am hoping the new Eight Below movie will be playing on the ship. We have been so busy we haven't had time to see it yet and I really want to.

Kcarl...hope you are feeling better. I always say, whatever it takes to get the job done!

Leslie I am with castaway...we miss your morning greeting. What's up? You sleeping late?

 

[Castaway Stowaway]

ImWong, I order a meduim pail for each of them and added snacks and sand toys. The first thing she asked was if there were any allergies, which was great because i didnt think to tell her that they were allergic to peanuts. And i got my dh a basket with Guiness and some football and golf stuff.

I called dcl and 8 below is playing on the ship. Dont remember what else is.

 

[Choople]

Im with kcarl021, I wont be wearing Lime Green but based on our roll call, we wont be hard to find with the two blonde teenage daughters, we will definitely be carrying the "Coronas".. Limes in hand!!..haha

I hope everyone gets over all the ailments I have been reading about.....I dont want to jinx us, we have been fine....the worse thing has been keeping the 15 year old off the snowboard, she broke her arm in two places last year just a couple of weeks before we went down to orlando, spent months in a cast from the shoulder to the wrist in an "L" shape. They wouldnt let her on a couple of her favorite "Coasters", she was not a happy camper and no "Swimming"....so we dont want a repeat.

My husband almost died on Saturday, all three of us went to the Hairdressers and had our "do's" done including highlites and such, when I told him the bill, he told me that would of been 33 hair cuts with tip for him

Counting down

 

[MTH]

Wow...time is ticking! Can't sit still!!!!

Anybody else have the week an extremely busy week, or is it just me?? physio on Monday; root canal on Tuesday; waxing on Wednesday; manicure/pedicure Thursday;drive to the airport on Friday...plus my regular job! Phew!...hehehehehe not that I'm really complaining, cuz most of the things are vaca-related!

BTW...is anyone else from the Windsor area?

 

[sk8ingmom]

I have a crazy-busy week also - nothing as bad as a root canal, but also nothing as enjoyable as a mani/pedi! Tonight - hockey, cub scouts and karate class. Tues. - I have to work late and present at a borough assembly (like county commissioners) meeting...come to think of it, I might opt for root canal given the chance, everyone else has 'church school'. Wed. - of course it is the school science fair, finish packing, and we need to leave for the airport @ about midnight. And oh- yeah, I have 3 days to do 2.5 weeks of work!

For everyone who doesn't like Corona, I believe "flamable beverages" were also approved for the sail away meet-up.

I got me a bright green sundress, so I'm ready! It is awesome, I ordered it online. The description just said 'green'. I like all shades of green, so I bought it without looking at the color swatch. Imagine my delight when it arrived DIS green! I'll be really easy to spot. One big & 2 little crew-cut-conservative guys and me in bright green!

Choople - Gosh, I'm the only girl in my family, can't magine how much bank you dropped at the salon, but it sounds like fun! I have long hair so I only hit the salon about every 3 months. DH choked at the price once, then I pointed out that my 4x a year cut and color at a day spa was WAY LESS than his WEEKLY haircut at $15 a pop!

No sickness yet in our family (for the love of God, everyone knock on wood now that I have said that!), but I'm sure someone will pick up something during our 15 hours of planes and airports. kcarl - How often do you think we will need to re-coat ourselves with Lysol??

 

[lv2cruise]

Count us in! DH (43), me (40.5....celebrating the big 40 a smidge late), DS12, DD10. My kids are so excited I'll be amazed if they sleep at all this WEEK! Been reading lots of great tips....THANK YOU, EVERYONE!!!
My kids want to do everything in the lab....I'm so used to having fun WITH them that I may need to sneak in the lab to see what all the fun is there....but then again, everyone says it won't take me long to be lounging by the pool alone and enjoying it just fine!
Can't wait to meet you all!

 

[MTH]

sk8tingmom-sounds like a busy week for u too! We have karate 2 nights this week for DS, but DH is has the duty tonight, since I'm working late at the office (well, between posts, I'm working )...oh, and I don't mind public speaking, if you'd like to switch up

Maybe I'm naive, but what is a "flammable" beverage?

Choople...I'm the only female in my house (unless you count my yellow lab, Jazz) and I have to lie to my husband and tell him I'm working late. It's not the money so much (of course, I'm not paying for 3!), but the amount of time it takes me to get my hair done...and no, I'm not getting my hair done tonight (cf. working late reference above!)...I really am sorta working

lv2cruise...I too am not sure how I'll handle not having my DS with me for the whole vaca, but he warned me yesterday after church that he wants to make new friends when on the cruise, but he'll "try" to spend some time with me and his dad everyday...

 

[Castaway Stowaway]

lv2cruise!! Be sure to pm Mortlives so she can add you to our ever growing roster!!

 

[sk8ingmom]

Flammable Beverage:

Since I don't actually drink Corona... sorry.. I'm a rum or wine lush... I'll be the one with the innocent looking Disney cup with unsuspicious looking cola in it..... just don't light a match near it...

MTH - I actually LIKE public speaking, it is the borough assembly members I can't stand!

 

[lv2cruise]

Mortlives-please add us to the list for Mar 11 Magic - DH, DS12,DD10 are anxious for their first cruise....I'm the lv2cruise one-done it many times before kids.
See you soon!!!!! 4.5 days to go!!

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

GOOD EVENING CRUISERS!!
4 Days 16 Hrs 22 Mins 52 Secs
Until our MAGICal Disney Cruise.
Just think.. this time next week we will be all dressed up and looking fine... and seeing The Golden Mickeys!!

Sorry I missed the morning greeting.... I actually had to work! Gee didn't anybody else work today?? I have to pay for my "flammable beverages" somehow....

lv2cruise
Gee.. nothing like the last minute!! We're glad to have you aboard though.. the more the merrier!! Who are ya.. and where are you from?
BTW Sk8ingmom.. do we just call you M???
Don't worry I promise we are not all a bunch of internet freaks that will stalk you after the cruise....LOL

KC I like you already... Wine is also one of my medicinal choices...LOL along with flammable beverages... they do a good job of killing off the germs.....

Okay... now back to packing.
Warning: I am also working the next two days for spa money..... .
​

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

1 more day of work for me!!!!!!!

Can you tell I'm a little excited!!!!!!!

Just have the toiletries to finish packing on Wednesday morning....but everything else is done!!!!!!!​

 

[sk8ingmom]

BTW Sk8ingmom.. do we just call you M??? [/color][/size][/font]
Don't worry I promise we are not all a bunch of internet freaks that will stalk you after the cruise....LOL

YUP, just call me M! It's not that I think you are stalkers it is actually what people call me! You see, about 30% of the girls born the year I was are named Michelle (my real name) - another 60% are named Amy & Lisa, in case you are wondering! Every class, team, or group I was in throughout childhood had at least 3 Michelles. A friend started callling me "M." in about 8th grade and it stuck. My parents even called me M.

 

[MTH]

well...just finished the on-line check-in. Predictably, my son is having a hard time falling asleep tonight, as I'm sure all of us will this week.

Sk8ingmom...Well, at least you like public speaking...I can't say the same about root canals! And I got that "flammable beverages" were "happy" drinks, just didn't know if you meant the kind that you actually light on fire, like some of the shooters I've had... ...guess that's what I get for gettin' in here so close to the cruise-time and not thoroughly reading all 30-something pages of posts

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

LOL.. fear not .. I do not actually light my beverages on fire. Something my bartender son DOES do.... but I would never willingly waste perfectly good alcohol.. They are just uh.. more alcohol than mixer so they are probably considered a hazardous flammable material.....
