So here I thought I looked more like one of the 101 Dalmations myself. 
I love the dresses Marr.
BINGO! I knew you'd catch my meaning. I just didn't want to give anything away for anybody who hasn't seen it. But you're right.....you just never know!Are youbecause you think something bad had to happen to someone in order for that last scene to happen? REMEMBER, this is LOST...it ain't necessarily so!
Thanks I still need more but it takes me so dang long to find ones I like. Or think I like til I try them on.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBORAH! 
Thanks for posting those links! I read through every post on every link and now the pieces have come together in my mind. She was 12 during most of that posting, just turned 13 on 2/14, has always loved Cinderella, so is fascinated with the Twice Charmed story. Wanted to collect 1000 photos to create a powerpoint slide show. I think she's just trying to piece it all together to tide her over until she (if she ever) gets to go on a cruise to see it herself. I've known 12/13 year olds who get focused on something and obssessed and irritating about it, so it makes sense to me. About her puberty questions, I'm thinking maybe she doesn't have much parental guidance? She mentions her grandma and aunt a lot, but only one reference to parents.
Nan:oh of course, it's just so strange for someone who doesn't live like this to understand.
Today we met with her therapist. It was good, but also very sad. We had our behaviour of sparing the kids from her reinforced. That was a big saving issue for me. I have been feeling guilt over keeping the kids from her (they can't be with her alone or overnight) I just don't feel safe with that. The sad info was that she concluded that MIL isn't ready to change and that there is a real risk that she could be sucessful at suicide. That is down right scary. But there is nothing that we can do other than rescue her in the moment.
That's how I was thinking too. She did e-mail somebody on one of those boards her powerpoint slide show and I thought about PMing the recipient and asking if I can see it too!Well, it was an intriguing mystery. I hope she gets her scrapbook done and that she can do a Magic Cruise before too long, so she can see the object of her fascination. Sounds like a normal little girl, who just wanted pictures to make a scrapbook with, because she loves Cinderalla. Kinda sweet actually. Someday she will probably grow up. too bad huh?
That is SO COOL! I'll have to get one for Tyler too! He'd use it all the time at home for his pirate stuff now because all his pirate costumes & accessories are in a big plastic tote. This would be perfect for him!
Good morning Marilyn!Going out for a walk now as it has brightened up.
I have ordered John a Hawaiian print shirt, but more subdued so I think he might wear it again.
Getting there.
Sorry, I didn't see your post right away because I'm still busy catching up with the overnight posts. By now you're probably on your walk. I hope you have a nice walk! Good morning Marilyn!
Very good insight and advice! Thanks a ton!Holly - just wanted you to know that your right to a point. It seems that DS while we fight like cats and dogs, knows that while dad (and we're together still) is the one to be friends and there with $$ when it comes to talking things out - he comes to me. He is now 21 and I can always tell when he wants to tell me something. I usually just sit there and nod my head - its nice to know that he feels he can talk to me about things but let me tell you - there were a few conversations where I was goingand
However, I always made it a point to be pretty blunt about things and also told them if you don't want to talk to me - talk to your aunts and uncles. Just talk to someone. DS does - there have been times when he comes into our bedroom wanting to talk and we can go for hours. However, one little kneejerk reaction and he flounces out. So you do have to be careful - just find a way as they get older to let them know that your there although you may not always approve of what their actions are.
We just had a talk on Thursday night about his girlfriend situation - he was asking me how to end things with her.
But my point is - kids will appreciate you and there is hope - I always feel so much better after our talks - something that DH and he can NEVER share. Those are my moments!
Still around waiting for John to get changed..........
Well, enjoy your walk when you finally get to go!
Oh, there is going to be a Mouseadventure onboard - one of the last sea days I think, can't remember. What I do know is that your family is all organised as far as that is concerned!!!!!
I guess someone should fill me in on this . . .

This Morning, I was laughing when I opened the birthday card from my brother, it said Sister, I've planned a fun-filled cruise in the Mediterranean for your birthday, when I opened it and it said Can you water my plants while I'm away? with a cat dressed up tropical!!
Look like my family know I love Disney Cruise,
Anyway, today is my birthday, and I am going out with my 7 friends for lunch then go to bar for champagne.
I will be out all day until tonight.
