Marilyn, did you go for your walk yet?

We had a fairly quick walk into town but it was busy of course. John bought some trainers at a sports shop that is closing down and then we had had enough!!!

Marrrrr, (you must read that with the trilled "R" of Spanish), love the dresses!

Wouldn't that be more appropriate as the rolled "r" of Tigger?

Thank you everyone for your comments. MouseFaninQueue, it was your family photo that made me finally decide to get everyone dressed for pirate night. Your family portraits are beautiful.

Thank you for the kind words. Then I guess that makes it worth all the hassle of finding the right sizes to put in the sig! There just aren't enough places where it is ok for adults to have some fun and be a kid again, so we take advantage of them when they do come around! (Plus my wife had put so much work into them I was going to be killed if I didn't wear it!!) And it was fun. We got a few comments from people (alot of people saying they wish they had brought costumes after the fact). It actually surprised me the number of people who were disappointed they hadn't brought costumes after the fact.

For us it's a matter of being comfortable with people. We've met a lot of people that we didn't know before. We know Monica because we met her on our first cruise when I interviewed her for a podcast, and we've been fast friends ever since.

I also produce Mouse Manager, which has had over 2000 downloads, and I correspond with people many times a day, and have made many friends, some of whom are on this thread, and I have joined in with other people on this thread (fish extender team, etc.)

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but for some reason, sitting down and breaking bread with people has a certain intimacy.

We are also not a typical couple, and so there is concern as well that our table-mates are comfortable with us. Otherwise, mealtime could have the potential of being rather strained. Sort of like a bad weekend in an English country house.

Just ask Monica, she can vouch for how bizarre we are!

Ok - if you're bizarre & we're fast friends...what does that make me??

Ian & Sukie are great people. They are the only ones I've kept in touch with from our Dec06 DW thread, and have been able to spend time w/ them each time they come back to the World.

John is working this morning so i am catching up with things I should have done this week - washing the floors, cleaning the bathroom etc!! I'm getting so lazy with all this Dising and cruise planning. What will I do from June?:confused3

You'll keep talking to us

 

[mishoe01]

A quick post of pictures then I should go to bed since it is like 4:30am LOL. Here are two casual dresses I bought. Same dress in two different colors. I figure they can be dressed up with different jewelry and shoes and will be comfy.

Here is the Nordstroms model wearing it on the website to get a better idea of what it looks like on.

Marr - these are beautiful dresses.

Here is the Vivienne Tam dress I bought that my son told me I looked like a cow when I tried it on. I said "what!!!! a cow??" My son (who is 4) said the "colors are same as cows" So here I thought I looked more like one of the 101 Dalmations myself.

I'd definately say more Dalmation than cow

As I said before, we officially adopted Monica.

She's compelled to see us every time we're in WDW. It's one of those things where there it isn't a matter of free choice. Besides, we tempt her with new and exciting restaurants every time.

We're still sort of bizarre people though ...

Now I'm thinking of naming my Chumby Mrs Bennett.

And back at you too! We should try to have a mini meet up here in the northwest. I will be in Chehalis Mar 5-7 to be with my mom for surgery. How far is that from you?

I would certainly be up for a mini PNW meet, but those dates I'll be in Mexico Maybe sometime in April....the girls have their break for a week and we thought about heading to Portland for a few days just to get away. If we do that...I'll let you know! Hope your mom's surgery goes well..... Oh and Chehalis is about 1.5 hours from me I think...not too far away, so let me know if you are back in that area.

You keep saying this, so I'm starting to wonder if you both have a third eye or a tail or something like that!

I sure hope we keep the thread going for a while. Anyway Monica, we are over again in December...........!!! And again next May!!!

Well his avatar looks kind of bizarre to me!!!

 

[gaylean93]

Happy Friday everyone. I've just been reading and not posting much because of the same old excuse of not having any time! I hope everyone is doing well and not stressing out about Sunday as much as me! Anyway, someone asked me a good question today and maybe you all know. Can you wear shorts (docker type) on tropical and Mexican night? I heard anything goes on pirate night so I was just wondering.

Does anyone know the answer to this? This is a good question.

 

[seaulater]

Brilliant. Off to check again here.



Thats ok by me, though I am still thinking after the Walt and the Roy I can surely come up with a great name.

LIFEBOAT SUITE #1-

Michael

QUOTE=scottishwee35;23384686]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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Hope you have a great time celebrating with your friends.

 

[lillygator]

We are now playing boutique shopping. Wish these play cards worked!

Samantha is telling me ESPN club is a great place to eat....interesting.

 

[lillygator]

did you read Shirley's note on the main forum that they may stop letting us send boxes ahead of time. I sure hope not.
