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

[EllaEnchanted]

I think a list is good - I'll volunteer but not do anything until after final payments are made. Everyone will have nothing to do once excursions are booked so this will give us something.

Thank you for doing this and yes I agree it's a good idea to do it after final payment is made and excursions are booked! YEAH!

I feel like a new person - well one who occassionally has a coughing fit but otherwise good.

This is great news!

Darrell is - in his words "DYING!!!!" He ended up with sinus/head/ear congestion in addition to the cough. So he actually got it much worse than I did.

Oh No, Poor Darrell.....give him lots of TLC and hope that he feels better soon.

Three weeks today V.....and I had a very frustrating and stressful day.....I sooooooooo wanted a cigarette. I almost called Angie to tell her that I was going to the store on the corner. But I didn't go out and buy them so I didn't smoke. I just dealt with it. I'm still dealing with it tonight, but not as bad as earlier. I guess that's a good thing.

I'm at a place where I can't eat what I want, I can't smoke and I want to and recently I added the additional burden of being financially responsible for Ray and it's costing me an additional $1k/month......so I don't have extra money to spend like I used to........no eating, smoking, shopping.....all at the same time is very frustrating and stressful and it really hit me today and I just wanted a cigarette to destress over it all. As if that would make everything alright again. I know initially it would, but in the long term, it would not.

Thanks for asking V....I bet you didn't expect such a saga response.

Angie, any advice to make me stay honest throughout the day tomorrow too? I may be calling you soon.

Oh Deb! I know how hard this is. Please do call anytime, we can talk thru this. Just breath when those strong urges come, deep breath, sip water and it WILL pass. It will come again, but eventually less frequent and less intense. Hang in there. What do you enjoy doing besides shopping? You need to reward yourself with something. Look at your list of reasons to quit.

But as someone mentioned earlier, if you log on and go to the thread, the DIS assumes you will read all of the new posts during your session. Say you didn't have time to get all caught up. When you return at a later time and log on the DIS will take you to the first post since the last time you logged out. It doesn't know you didn't actually get thru all the posts the last time you visited. I don't know if I did a very good job of explaining that.

Ok I think the thing is that if you reply then THAT post is the last one you read.

I need sleep - but am not tired!

 

[CameronsDad]

So Cameron's currently in the 4th grade, right? So is Ryan. Well, hope you guys can make it so the kids can meet up before the cruise...always helps to see a familiar face on the cruise!

Yes, Cameron is in the 4th grade, he is homeschooled though. My wife thinks we should be able to get to the April meet.

For us it would probably be easier to go to DTD and then a bus to the GF. In December, Amy, Sophia and I did the hotel tour from BCV to see the lobbies and the trees, etc. . Man, were we gone a LONG time using bus transportation. We are not newbies, and know our way around . . . took the monorail from Epcot to the TTC, walked to the Poly, monorail to GF, monorail to CR, bus to DTD, bus back to BCV. Took us the whole night just to do those three hotels.

The floor is still open for suggestions - I know we will want to be back to our room for our overnight stay with our Geek buddies too - we have 11 of us in a Grand Villa, and hopefully Dr. Hug and Angie nearby.



Not me, never heard it. Honest!

Night all, I need to turn in.

Well, we'll have a car so just tell me where to be and I'll be there... and if it's needed, I may be able to give @ 3 people a ride...

How about Pizza & Beer at your place???

OH - drama lamas last night....


FINALLY some action from the Hooter Girls and Lifeguards nextdoor.....
well, if the LG wants to save me from drowning that would have been all I needed.....



ANYWAY

around 1 am....some voices were coming through our window loud and clear....Johnny looks up and itty bitty girl has huge suitcase squishing it into her sports car...not working. Lifeguard is APOLOGIZING profusely...we as nosey neighbors listeneing through the window don't know what for.....she finally gives in and goes back in the house.


what can I say excitement on Laramie!

Next time try binoclulars...

Hi Stacey......Grills Seafood Deck and Tiki Bar is an indoor/outdoor casual beach type restaurant. It's right on the water front where the cruise ships go in and out. It's great for kids too. They have typical seafood and american cousine. We're going with a party of about 20 DISers including kids on the 9th at 5:30pm. Want to join us?

Sounds like fun!! Count us in.

 

[CameronsDad]

I'm also a GTY and I paid in full this past week. I called DCL just before that and asked when I might get assigned. I was told that it won't be until just before we sail. So I wouldn't count on it being any time soon. Maybe not until we get to the terminal. There's a lot of us that are in the same position.....we call ourselves the Lifeboat Crew......because that's where we'll be sleeping onboard! Ha Ha Ha

Then I will definitely not spend time worrying about it. We'll just focus on the excursions and building up our obc.

Thanks Angie. If I still feel like this tomorrow, I will give you a call. I've been drinking the water and chewing the cinnamon gum and eating the cheerios. I do take deep breaths. I do tell myself all my reasons for quitting. Usually, one or some of them work for me....today, not so much. I just talked it over with John and then started DISing, because that makes me happy. So far, it's working. I can't think of anything to reward myself with except for a cigarette. That's not good.

I need to go to my ballet barre and do some exercises tomorrow. I know that will help. I didn't do them this weekend because John was home and I want my privacy to do them. Tomorrow I will and that will make me feel better. Usually I don't want a cigarette after doing that. So it should help.

So what do I have to get DrHug to do in order to see THAT??

Good. Dance tomorrow then DIS. Wish I was nearby so I could give you a real hug and go for a walk with you.

I know, I know . . .

You guys in California probably think us folks in Ohio milk our cows every morning before we leave for work.

The truth is that there are a lot of people like that in Ohio too. Amy was telling me about two women in her department (both married) who got in a fight because they found out they were both secretly dating the same "other" man!

John,

I thought you shucked your corn!

Dennis is home!
