May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 2

[EllaEnchanted]

Now I have you dressed in a peach bathing suit!!! I will definately need help by the time I go on this cruise!!!



Is it ok if we just have lime green shirts of our own? I got mom a LG shirt for Xmas and I have a LG polo that will work...

Hey Michelle.....Any lime green shirt will work well. There is no need to match.....We are just too large of a group to try to do that.....In my humble opinion. What do the rest of you think?



You could just do a general shout out on the cruise board that if anyone canceled, could they please let you know... maybe you'll pick up a few of them...

We're going to have to figure out how to do something. Maybe we could have a check in somewhere on board.....on day one, we check in that we're present and accounted for. Then we could do last minute changes too like upgrades!!!!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

You know....

I think it's hysterical how we are all going on diets (me too) then we will promptly get on board and eat ourselves silly!!!

Ironic isn't it....the fix would be to lose more than you want to then you could eat your way to your ideal weight.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I know it has been a long time since I have been on the boards and you probably think we have canceled our trip. This is not so. I am afraid that I have been dealing with a pretty bad case of depression and have not been up to doing much of anything. I just wanted everyone to know that I am getting it under control and hope to be back to my old self before long. I want those that have stated interest in Fish Extenders to know that I will be starting to sew again very soon and have not forgotten them if they want one. Hopefully I can get myself to sit down at the sewing machine in the next couple of weeks.

To those on my Fish Extender committee I have not forgotten that either if it is still being done. I will try and get some information together soon.

I haven't even felt like reading the boards and after finding out all the pages I have missed I will not be trying to get caught up but will try and stay caught up from now on. If I have missed anything of importance I hope that someone will PM me and let me know.

Carol

Carol, just know that we are all here for you anytime you need us......this past year I had some pretty dark days and the only thing that got me through was the love of everyone on here....my dis family of friends. I hope we can do the same for you. Lots of love and hugs and pixie dust coming your way!!!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Have there been a lot that have responsed that they cancelled? Yes, lots cancelled, lots switched to the EB and still more are sailing with us! Of course, some never even PM'd me back....oh well, nothing we can do about that. I have to assume that they are not coming with us.

Thanks so much for organizing all of this. You are so welcome!



Lats cruise we did a group picture on the secret Deck on Deck 7. We stood on the deck and the camerman stood above us on Deck 9 (or maybe 10). turned out really nice. We were all wearing matching shirts.

I LOVE this idea, will we all fit out on the secret deck on 7? It would be a great photo op place....I'm sure we could all squish in and do it! Anyone else like this photo idea? Should we do it here? We could all wear our lime green colored shirts.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I think that you are very cute now!! Just from your pictures you have a great deal of cuteness going on!

Karen

Karen let me just say that it is sooooooo great to have you back on here. I really really really missed you. I love your wit and your personal perspective of looking at things. Keep them coming Girl!

 

[lillygator]

Kaylee - did you sign up for the lidstick jungle house party?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

John - thanks for your input too...I'm hoping they can figure out what is wrong so that I can sleep better and not feel so tired all the time.

You all have been great to me! Thanks again!

Btw - 3rd night in a row on the bike!

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO YOU GO GIRL! Way to go Monica.....you're doing it now! Keep it up!

 

[fourmcds]

ok, I'm back...Granted it took me 10 hours to get back, but life got in the way of DIS again.
Now to buy a heart shaped box of candy and not eat the candy

Nan...that is a great idea! Does she keep it out all year or does it only come out around Valentine's day? I wish I still had the time or energy (or organization) to scrap and be crafty, but I haven't done much in years.

Kaylee - did you sign up for the lidstick jungle house party?

V - I didn't see anything about this one...can you PM a link or something? I finally added some pics to my party page last night and invited a few friends. I think we are going to have a smaller party so everyone can get a few goodies.

Deb & John on staying smoke free!!!

Karen: hope you are feeling better soon. My cough is lingering as well and at times I feel like I have asthma, but every day it is getting better. Hopefully it will be good by Saturday as we are skiing all weekend!

Carol: Jump in and join us whenever you can.

 

[fourmcds]

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO YOU GO GIRL! Way to go Monica.....you're doing it now! Keep it up!

Monica...good luck tonight! (or was it last night?)

I just want to take a minute and thank everyone for their positive and kind wishes for me and John with our not smoking. Yesterday I had a hard time with it....after taking Ray to the moseleum I felt stressed and really really wanted to reach for a cigarette....since I was already out and about, it would have been easy to stop and pick up a pack. BUT I went home and had my cheerios and read all of your well wishes and support and I was able to overcome it. I just want you to know how important you all are in this process and why this time is going to be successful unlike other times. It's because of you all.....I just don't want to disappoint anyone here and that keeps me honest. Thanks everyone. Your support means the difference of my being a smoker or being a non-smoker. I couldn't do it without all of you and especially Angie. Thanks so much.

Deb....just remember...we can support you all we are able to (and we are all happy to be here with you as you become a non-smoker), but in the long run it was you who chose not to grab that pack yesterday and you who is finding the strength to quit for good this time! Don't underestimate yourself and your own power to quit!!!! You are doing great.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Tomorrow is John's 57th birthday. We're not doing anything very special....just dinner ordered in, cake and presents with just me, him and the kid. Everyone else is gone and now it's just the few of us. So we're not making such a big deal of it all. He has some good presents though!!! Two really big surprises! I can't wait for him to open them and see. Have to wiat until tomorrow!

Kaylee you are such a sweetie.....with words like that, you're going to make me want to go run on my treadmill......you are so encouraging and confidence boosting to me. Thank you a thousand times! I think I will go hit that treadmill today!

Wow Deb, that is a big milestone on your journey. Well done.

That would be a great place for a picture. Now I have to find a dis green top that is flattering on me

I've been on this deck many times and have seen others taking group picutres from deck 10. It would make an excellent group picture.

They have had weddings and other activities out there, one comes to mind the kids club had a "who done it" storyline. It was cute.

Most of the time there is nothing going on. You may want to check if it will be available the time you wish to have group photo take

these are some photos of the accident. The fog is just like a blanket.

 

[granmaz]

Wow that is an amazing photo, but such a tragedy.

The last time I went on Tower of Terror at DCA, we went very early with some friends. There was no line, so we went three times in a row. They wanted to go again, but I had to bail. I found my limit.

Woody

When we were at DCA last May, my 15 year old daughter and her friend did TOT 13 times in a row! I stayed outside and took pictures everytime as they ran off and ran back on to go again! They completed 13 trips in just a little over 2 hours!

It was out for about a year, then it got packed away for a long while and now it's out again. I think it's one of those things that I like to see out so it can stay out. It's on a sofa table in the living room. I really love those classes all the stuff ready for you to work. It's hard for me to do it at home too. But I'm inspired this year, fingers crossed I'll get it done.

I haven't posted my good wishes for you, but I've been cheering and praying you on from the sidelines. I'll take this time to tell you keep it up! And congrats. When you're feeling down and you need a friend to call, come to the DIS we're here for ya!

Too fun. I was going to ask you what they are, but John sometimes posts so I know we have to wait just like him But tell us as soon as they get opened okay!!!! We're nosey!!!!
