I played Bunco last night too.....I lost

We always play the first Thursday of the Month....It was great to get out of the Halterman Home for the Elderly!!

I have sent a PM to LiserAnn for the updated list.....of who is on the cruise so I can finish up planning Bunco....does anyone else have the list you could e-mail me? If so, send me a PM and I will send you my e-mail address......

Lisa...I emailed Lisa that you were in need of the list. She has been really busy with life so hasn't been on the DIS much. She should get back to you today.

BTW . . .

I do not watch much TV (other than Sports) . . .

But tonight . . .

Battlestar Galactica - the final season begins . . .


Anybody else a BG fan?

I have not watched the new BG....but does anyone remember the original? I was a huge fan of that show when I was growing up...it was my special night where I could watch TV and stay up late! That show had some pretty good looking men in it...

Everyday it seems to be getting closer and closer ...

Bulgaria . . .?

Hmmm . . . have you read "The Historian"?

I Love that book...I am almost done with it....It's so intense that it has taked me a long while to read. There's too much information. I plan on finishing it while on the cruise.

Hey, If any of you see Nan, Gaylean, Robin, or Cindy, tell them I'm lookin' for them.
Someone has some splaining to do.

Well, my vision is partially back....I am making an appt with the eye doc for Monday in case it is still bad. It got pretty scary last night......

That does sound scary and I am glad it is improving. Monday is a long time to wait though.

Now that's an idea but she "says" she doesn't need another one. We'll see by the end of the cruise.

Relax gaylean...I'm taking a book called "the historian" on board. Among others. I would love to finish this book, I am about 3/4 the way through it. It's similiar to the Da Vinci Code in style (factual historical places) but all about dracula. I am also bringing The Other Boleyn Girl, and a biography about a woman who was raised in a polygamist lifestyle and subsequent marriage. I'd like to bring Jenna Jamiesons biography too, but the title of the book worries me...not very disney.

Time to join in for myself and quit relying on DH to keep me in the loop
Counting down the days until we leave. Mixed emotions right now - want vacation to hurry up and come, but still have lots to do to get ready. Had a ton of fun dressing up as pirates on our first cruise, so this time making matching tropical print dresses for DD's & I, with matching shirt for DH. There's not enough opportunities to play dress up, so taking full advantage of it

Glad to see you join us Shannon! WELCOME!

 

[taysmom]

I can't believe you are up this early after all that chatting last night!

 

[nskjerven]

Countdown clock has us sitting at 30 days 21 hours before we are on the plane headed to Orlando...

Everyday it seems to be getting closer and closer ...

And I only have eight bags to pack, a million things to buy, make a few door signs and 40+ pounds to lose.

Nan likes her outdoors from the balcony of her concierge suite...

ya got that right

 

[granmaz]

We missed you last night.

Why thank you. I think the chat began way after I was tucked up in bed!!!

Well, I tried really hard in part nine to keep up. So sorry I got behind, hoping everyone is doing well .

I'm sorry that a lot of us are dealing with so many hardships. Hugs and prayers to all in need.Tammy and John and Sophia...my thoughts are with you...and everyone else that needs

I have had a rough week. My son and his GF and my GD have decided they can't live together.My son's girlfriend is just too homesick, and wants to come home to her family, and her and my son have not been getting along. So they are flying home tomorrow night, but my son is staying in Alberta. I'm ecstatic at getting to see my GD this weekend (haven't seen her since Nov) but so sad that this seems to be another family that will not be united. My son loves both his GF and his daughter, I hope we all find a way to stay connected.

Then I got up this morning (my day off) and had a little time to read the paper, a luxury, and happened to read the obits. My birth father (haven't seen him in over 20 yrs) has passed away I always wondered if I would know when he was gone. If I hadn't read the paper then I would not have known. I called one of my brother's, and he only knew because his wife had read the obits too. My birth father ( my mother divorced and remarried long ago) was an alcoholic . I was 11 yrs old when he left, so remember him and although I tried to keep in touch until my early 20's, lost touch when he just never seemed to be interested in me or my family (booze was just so much more interesting )So here I am today, mourning my father, but really, mourning what could have been...I may have lost out on having him as a father, but he lost out on knowing me and my children, his grandchildren. How sad I feel so sad for him, for myself and for my children.

Sorry for such a bleak post .

Looking forward to this vacation more than ever!

Kathe

Kathe: MANY hugs to you on all counts.
