I'm watching the end of Overboard? The old movie with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell....love that movie for some reason. I did pilates this am and will try and get in a workout again tomorrow. You are kicking butt at the boot camp thing! Good Job!

Good for you! Am I by any chance spurring you on? I remember Overboard...it was hysterical, but listen, don't be getting any ideas for our cruise......

Well, between you and my massage therapist who has lost 12# and goes to the gym ever lunch...yes...you are giving me motivation! You are going to be the one dragging me to the gym on board!

So what are we going to do with this wine deal? Blow it off and pay the big $$ onboard or try to get it in town on Fri? I'm pretty sure my friends don't have a car big enough for all of us, so I don't think we're leaving the hotel property for dinner that night. We get in around 4:30 and I think we'll only have enough time for dinner. Wonder if at the hummer stop there's a liquor store nearby? How can we find that out?! What a drag!!!

If I remember correctly, most grocery stores have a liquor store right next to it.

V....Monica....other FL natives....what time do the liquor stores open? We'll figure something out.

Maybe that's our best bet...if they're open when we get there....next problem.

hmmmm, next problem? there is nothing on tv

Ok, I'm off to clean up and to bed. Drew has soccer at 8am which means well have to be up and out at 7:15.

Night night!

As long as you guys keep her company on the cruise and out of my hair; no ones in any trouble!

Ok - that whole exchange was so funny!! I'm still catching up. Lisa

 

[calmom]

Lisa...my tv friend...do you watch Dirt on FX.??? Is that your cup o' tea?

Different Lisa answering - but I love that show! I think Courtney Cox does a great job in it...nothing like her Friends character!

Ok, I made a spelling error in my first design, so here is the fixed version. I did like Ken and put the link to the full size below it, for anyone who want to alter it.

Thanks for sharing!

Off Palm Beach.....many great sites here. Reefs and Wrecks...

My extra piece for the wetsuit came yesterday and I hope to try it out. It will add 3.5 to my 3.5 suit, over the core...so I can be warm in the Pacific.

For some reason I thought you folks lived in the UK--do you live in Florida?

Right after Amy left, and Sophia went to her aunt's I got sick with a bad cold. I started on meds on Monday, but I have not been myself all week long. I have trudged through work every day, but have not felt like even getting on the computer in the evening. I am still a bit under the weather today. And speaking of weather it has been awful and dreary here.

I have two requests for Bobby that I have not fulfilled. If there is any way I can get it done, I will take care of that tomorrow. I have to see if I can scrounge up an additional Bobby.

I do talk to Amy daily in Manilla, and she is doing fine.

I hope everyone else is doing well, and you have all been in my thoughts as the day approaches when we will all finally meet. I read a post by Ken in getting here about how close we are, and I too don't know whether to be happy, or sad.

I may be on tonight - until then, have a great Friday!

John, I hope you feel better! I've missed your posts, but don't worry, I'll hold down the fort until you can get back! Seriously, it sounds like life is hectic right now, hope things smooth out for you soon!

Well, I will be booking a dummy date, but I don't think I can cruise in 2009, as we have a family adventure that year (Peg's 50th birthday!!!--hurts when the 'baby' hits 50!)

When my other sister was here, she had a reading with a psychic, who told her she would be cruising with at least four other people and her Meniere's disease would not be a problem. Although, I can't see her agreeing to a cruise during hurricane season!
:

I told Jackie about my recent reading, where the psychic was talking about all the new people who would be coming into my life and the new friendships I would be making. It all made sense to me. As someone already has said, I know this trip will be a life-changing experience for me!

I was thinking I may have to see what future cruises I can book onboard! Will have to see what fits into the school schedule.

Don't have to worry about that any more!!!!

I've been feeling that way all week too! So today, I'm staying in bed until my 1pm meeting.
I've got my work cell, laptop, pot of coffee...and I'm good to go!
Lisa

Hope you had a nice day, Lisa! I love my bed (or as I call it, "my nest").

Well...we're off in 3 1/2 hours for DL...my daughter still has NO IDEA!....Don't chat too much!
Hope you all have a quiet and relaxing weekend..and hugs to all those who need it!

Me too Me too Me too See you in 2 1/2 hours!

This is me--green with envy, but wishing you lots of fun!

I just wanted to let you know that my brother Tim died this morning.

Thank you to everyone who has sent prayers and pixie dust for him over the last 6 months.

I was very saddened to read this; I lost my brother about a year and a half ago. My sincere condolences go out to you and your family.

I can just see it now, a mutiny on the Hummerzine, and a liquor store stop replacing grocery...

I think most grocery stores sell beer and wine, there are a few liquor stores on the way to Publix on the left, but not one in the same shopping center. I guess you'd have to hope they open at 10.

Hi everyone, just checking in. Oy, life is keeping me so busy lately. To add to all my other matters, I now have a funeral to go to on Sunday. One of my friends lost her 18-month battle with cancer. She was only 51 years old. She went from 190 lbs to 80 lbs on her 5'9" frame. Just goes to show that life can be short so you should enjoy every day like it might be the last. Ok, I am off to bed as I have to be up in a few hours and start all over again. I will have both boys this weekend and need to take them to have their new suits tailored so they will look nice for a formal photo on board. Talk to everyone soon.

So sorry.....

Oh my...my condolances...

Awwww! I stumbled across this picture stored on the computer at work. It's very blurry because it's from a scanned photo, but still cute! This is Tyler and Bethany a year and a half ago on formal night:

Cute pic!

Actually looking forward to some alone time this weekend! Remember John's recent post about being alone? That's how I feel in reverse! Need a little hybernation time after having house guests, for sure.

.

That's how I am--I've always needed my alone time. I guess I was destined to be single for that reason!

 

[NotSoLittleMermaid]

I AM SUCH A DIM-WIT.

We're renting from BUDGET!

That's their address and phone number I posted.

....well, it been a long hard week.....
Cheri is going to think I'm nuts when she reads this.....

.

You know, I've been laying here in bed reading all this and thinking "I thought we rented from Budget?" but I was too lazy to get up and go into the other room to check. I figured I'd check in the morning. Now I don't have to!

 

[NotSoLittleMermaid]

Hey, I just discovered something...

If your throat hurts from coughing your brains out for a couple of days....a snifter of Frangelico is REALLY NICE! I wonder if Dr. Oz would recommend this???

.

 

[NotSoLittleMermaid]

Cheri might be looking for someone to share a cab ride over to Budget, if anyone else ends up renting from there! (I'm in charge of guarding the luggage!)

.

Yeah, what she said!
