NO!

And on that note, I am headed home! First got to go by the $300 store (Costco), just to put gas in the car and to stop in and pick up a couple of things....yeah....right......

oh and a HOT DOG!

 

[pahrumpgirl]

I bought this dress but I am not sure about looking dorky in it on the cruise!

DORKY that dress is NOT. Will be looking forward to seeing you in it.

HOLLY...here's Tyler's leprachan!!!

That's very cute! I'll try to remember to show him tomorrow morning. He's seen them but wants to know what they're for. What do they do? I'll be googling this weekend to get some good answers, or maybe will get some kids' books from the library.

 

[Tink rules]

Yep, and it's not even 5:00 here yet! Diet Coke would be the drink right now.

Actually, I'm trying to get month end done and I can't get anything done because I am trying to deal with finalizing all the Girl Scout Cookie Orders (the financial part) because we just took in a pre-sale of 116,750 cases. That would be a whopping 1,401,000 boxes of wonderful Girl Scout Cookies. At a price of $3.50 per box, that means a total of $4,903,500 which will be deposited into our Girl Scout Cookie account beginning the first week of March and completed by March 31.

So, I'm gearing up for the craziness of dealing with 550+ troops!

You just had the foresight to know that I was already on a drinking binge!

& just where are all these wonderful GS's going with all that cash??????

My troop went bankrupt... our leader let us go shopping for our annual campout...

We each got a carriage in the store...

We had enough to feed the whole camp...

For 4 days...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

We got the fathers who my mom and our neighbors forced to go (the leader was one of the wives...) to do all the cooking!!!

What a deal!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

OK....the little monster is in bed, I have 2 rolls of Smarties downed so far, LET THE POSTING FRENZY BEGIN!

Hey guys, it seems we have all been doing a lot of this lately but if you could send some prayers and pixie dust it would be nice. My cousin's husband (he is 42 with 3 DKs 13 and under) was taken to the hospital in Delaware, Ohio a little earlier with chest pains. They determined that he had a heart attack and has 4 blood clots in his lungs and have sent him on to a bigger hospital in Columbus (Delaware is about 30 miles north of Columbus).

Carol

Prayers, and being sent out your way - I lost my best friend on Sep 21, 2006 and she left her young son (my godson) who was only 18 months old at the time and a 9 yr old dd. It was hard - this was while we were on the 11-Night cruise in SC, Carol! That was hard - still remember - I was at the terminal getting last minute stuff for her kids when DH came back to the terminal after dropping stuff off -we'd intended to go back out - when he told me right smack in the middle of the terminal. I think people must of thought I was nutso when I burst out crying. It was hard. Really sending out some hope and prayers that he will be ok!

I bought this dress but I am not sure about looking dorky in it on the cruise!

OMG! You stole my dress - first one of you guys on this cruise beats me out of my "other" dress and now you will look like a grecian goddes! Not fair I tell you! J/K - I personally it. You'll look like a goddes in it.

BTW, you'll recognize me on the ship when I pass by you and look like this: at you!

Just found this thread.

My wife and I are just dying to go on this cruise. We've been on a bunch of Disney cruises including 2 of the DVC Member cruises. Mostly 4 dayers and one 7 day eastern carribbean. I can't wait to go thru the canal I'm betting it's a blast. I saw some messages where people were talking about booking events and I was disapointed when on the 10th when I went online to book a brunch at 8:00am est that they were all gone already. I'm hoping there will be a waiting list when we get onboard.

Well, I don't want to be long winded on my first post.

Can't wait,
Mike (& Alice)
no room # yet we're on guaranty for now

Welcome to the thread and welcome to the GTY/lifeboat crew. About a third of us don't have rooms yet!

If mine were coming on the cruise I'd give her to you!

Well, I'm mosey-ing over to the book store to take a look at the belly-fat diet book. The authors (from Prevention magazine) were just on Rachel Ray and I had read some stuff about the book a few weeks ago. Basically, it's four 400 calorie meals per day, and eating one serving of MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acids) with each meal. And those MUFAs are: oil (certain kinds), nuts/seeds, olives, avacados and dark chcolate. All things I already eat...just not at the right time apparently. I'll let you know if I get it/try it.

....later kids....

My guess is that they won't mention "SMARTIES" in the book.

I did not know this. I am so very sorry. Losing those you love is always hard but finding out about it in a public place can be even harder.

Carol

 

[dvcmike]

WELCOME to the life boats.

Doug

Thanks, I'm glad to see there is a word to use for the gty. I'm not happy about the situation. I really like to have a solid cabin # to look forward too. Our daughter works at the Y & B club and hooked us up with cheap fares on the Mar 6th three day wonder cruise and we just got our docks and we finely have a cabin. Yipee!!

Thank You - but this time we'll make sure that and the spreads some of his magic out their way and to anyone else who needs it!

 

[Tink rules]

michelle, I have in the past asked for the veg of one meal to be put with the meat of another meal. It has never been an issue in the past.

Pj

That's good to know... Sometimes I'm just in the mood for something else...

Mine will no doubt dress up for formal, my guys in tuxes and we'll take pictures. But I can't count on pictures everyday this trip.

When ordering Wilson's tux I asked him black or white and he said "Mom I don't care, just tell me what to wear" I've raised him from little little boyness to wear whatever makes mommy happy

His future wife will love you for that...

Yes they do - I purchased a friend an embroidered dress there last year for her birthday - not sure what else they have.

Not much by the time we are done with it...

Thanks for the update --- Good Luck for the 75 day cruisers....

We thank you and will report in for the fish therapy meeting...

I forgot how county Bartow is...there is still a lot of land yet to be developed and cows everywhere!

I still have one issue I need good thoughts and pixie dust on....so please send some my way if you have any to spare. I know it seems as though many of us are in need of some good wishes, so good wishes to all!

V...

don't hope for too much development... Once it's gone...you'll miss those cows...

& sending much pixie dust and best wishes!!!

[Tink rules]

I'm WAY ahead of you darlin... Hope the Smarties hold out...

SMARTIES...

The unofficial candy of the Royalty of the SHIP OF THIEVES!!!

 

[eeyorelvr10]

Anyone else get so tired of looking up the codes for the other numerous icons? I finally gave up and printed them as I don't have any room left in this brain for non-important stuff - got this cruise to plan for.

 

[disneylover5]

Oh what a scathingly brillient idea! TABLEMATES....start practicing your autograph!

Well, I just called in sick. Yesterday was so slow that I did part of today's work too. Now, I can't face going in there and trying to look busy, when I have so much to do here at home. Geeze, I could do my taxes today and purge and set up files for the new year and buy my trip insurance...and DIS.

Speaking of which.....still about 6 pages to catch up on.


P.S. Lisa, I've never stayed at Coronado Springs, because it's just too much like home (style wise). AND I prefer the compact and close to shopping Port Orleans French Quarter

.

We stayed at the French Quarter last time I took Vanessa abd this time I am taking her sister as well. Coronado Springs seems to be the only one available,

 

[lillygator]

Michelle....I don't want it developed...that's my home! Cows, bonfires, etc...now there is a parkway running through town....
