Mary and Marilyn (and any Canadians) - if you want to order stuff and send it to me to deliver to you once you get here let me know.

Thank you Monica , but mine's already on the way over here.
It was only as I hit the button that I thought, I should've looked into the possibility of having it sent to WL. Don't know if they'd allow that, but the hotel we use when we're in Denver does.

Midnight? What is midnight?
It's as much as I can manage not to fall asleep in my dinner!

We're like this too. Don't know whether it is our time change though. It is at the beginning of the holiday and does improve but I'm not sure I would stay awake through the midnight outdoor movie and I so want to experience that.
I would also like to go to the adult area after dinner too.

I'm just buying bigger clothes!

Speaking of which, I had a Lands End order delivered yesterday. And not a single thing fitted me. I'm sure their sizings have gone all wrong and are no longer reliable. Bit like happened with M&S here years ago.

They are cutting costs in this way. So annoying as you could always rely on M&S to be reliably bigger! some of their basics range tees I would have to now get a size 20 I think!

No way can I buy clothing online with all the different sizing.

Are most people buying the Cafepress designs? We aren't into wearing logo clothing really but would buy and wear for a particular occasion/group event etc. Are we planning on wearing them at the terminal, or wearing lime green(if we want to that is)?

That's 2 mornings in a row the DCL site has had problems and couldn't access my reservation. I sure hope I can on Sunday morning. Do you think they wait until after folk have been on and booked their reservations before doing any work on the site?

We have 190% of the normal snow pack in the Cascade Mountains, with another 30 inches expected over the next couple of days. Must be that global warming.

HOLY COW, that's a lot of snow! Yikes!

But same here.....we don't usually get more than about 3 inches at a time, maybe 6 is max, so what we've been dumped with this winter is very unusual for us. 2 snow days for Tyler last week, 1 today, we usually get about 2 snow days all winter. Crazy stuff!

 

[HollyTyler]

Good morning Marilyn & Mary!

Today I was supposed to get the chance to sleep in until 8:30 because of our psychologist appointment. But they just called me at 7:15 to tell me their office is closed due to the weather, so the good news is that I don't have to miss 2 hours of work! I called my office manager and told her, "I'm calling in early, rather than calling in sick or late." She was very happy because 2 co-workers already called in because of the road conditions. It's going to be a very hectic day since we'll be short-staffed, so you won't see me here until tonight.

i just found these on the crocs site...i have seen them for girls because i already bought karen a pair but now they have them for me!!!

OH MY GOSH, those are SO going to be mine! I only saw the kids' sizes when I looked before too. That site adds things almost as quickly as our thread does! LOL!

 

[HollyTyler]

I just got back from my work meeting. It went well - I did get an extra bonus, but not quite as big to cover the call I got today....

They called for Cat. 1!!!!

Arggg....I have until 5pm tomorrow. I just can't seem to figure this out - we wouldn't be able to pay it all outright, so that makes me think we should say no. But then I imagine being in that wonderful suite for 15 nights with my family.

I think this might give me some levage to make the cruise at least work - my bonus will cover our 2 cat 9's final payment. But still....

Cat. 1......arggg......think of the DIS parties!! I hope someone is still awake to talk me through this!!! Or waking up!
Lisa

OH MY GOSH, how exciting! Well, if you decide to nab the Cat 1, your bonus will offset the extra cost at least a little bit, so that's an advantage.

 

[HollyTyler]

My husband just asked how much the blue book is for our van. It is how our kids get to school every day. He said they could just walk. LOVE It that he is thinking about it now!

Now THAT'S my kind of husband! Good luck with your decision. That's a tough one!

 

[HollyTyler]

Lisa I see you made your decision to keep your Cat 9s. Good job! Tough decision!

Off to work, catch you all this evening! Hopefully I'll have word on the job I applied for.

 

[granmaz]

Have a good day Holly. Hope the journey isn't too bad for you - maybe you will be allowed to finish early.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Good Morning Mary, Marilyn and Holly.

Holly, good luck on the job news today. Sending you lots of positive pixie dust that you get the offer.

I have no plans for today. Just a little cleaning around the house. I'm not sure if I can do exercises while the legs are wrapped. I'm afraid the ace bandages will come off if I stretch and push too much. They're wound really tight. I guess I could try and see what happens.

It's another dark and dreary day today here.

I'm anxiously waiting for Sat so that I can book ressies. First Palo brunch and tea, then excursions, then spas. John is doing the hot stone massage again. I can't do massages because they hurt not feel good. So I'm thinking about trying the reflexology. I have to book that on board, can't do it in advance online.

I'm ready and waiting.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

OK, the bad news is.....I gained back 7 lbs and holding since quitting smoking. The good news is that I don't need new clothes and can use my already packed suitcase. The bad news is I can't wear my two new dresses and have to wear my old ones again. The good news is I still have more time to see if it stays the same or changes. I'm still on the diet so who knows if I'll start losing again or not. Can you tell that this weight thing has got me very confused.

I can't believe how easily the weight came off before quitting smoking and how I gained and am staying there since quitting. Smoking really does change your metabolism.

Hi Deb. I'm going for the hot stone massage and reflexology. Might squeeze in a back massage too, or the ginger salt scrub, not sure. I'm sure you would be relaxed with the reflexology, which is one of the main reasons for the massages anyway.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I haven't been posting a lot lately because I haven't been caught up. Everytime I log on I'm 10+ pages behind and I spend more time reading now, so less time to post.

It's quiet now and I'm caught up so I'm posting again.

 

[granmaz]

What a pain the weight issue is for you Deb. It is amazing how stopping smoking does that. I believe in young girls there are some who smoke just to keep their weight off.

I am sure it will kick start soon, but it must be hard not giving in to either smoking or eating the wrong things. Just try and keep going.

Is the doctor you are seeing on Monday a specialist for your leg issue, or can you chat to him about this problem and see if there is any help?

That's how I feel! I'm almost caught up now.

Good Morning Marilyn.....John LOVES the hot stone massage. I wish I could try it, but better not. Don't want to hurt. Reflexology sounds very intriguing and I'm looking forward to doing it for the first time.

Are you all ready to book all your ressies on Sat? Have you made all you final decisions about everything?

I've been ready since the first day the excursions came out and have just been waiting.

I reviewed everything again and decided to keep everything that I initially picked out. We're doing a lot of boating and snorkeling. These are a few of our favorite things. John doesn't like sand, so I can't go to the beach at every port. I don't walk long or far, lower back arthritis.....so anything with a lot of walking is out......I have to sit a lot inbetween. It takes me one or sometimes two stops to get from one end of the boat to the other.

So we're going to stick with boating and snorkeling. I've heard that Cabo is one of the best places to scuba and snorkel anyway. It sounds good to me.

I've got all the info from PJ's calendar noted in my personal calendar so I know what is going on when so I don't conflict with anything while trying to book ressies.

I'm so ready to get this done already.
