May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 3

[disneylover5]

Boy, you guys have been chatty this weekend. MY DFIL was taken to the hospital by ambulence on Sat at 1pm (he was at a funeral of all things) and I was the only one in town to stay .... hang...with him. (he blacked out for about 10 minutes) So my kids faired pretty well on their own (17,13,10). He is here with me now...the doctor released him at 5pm tonight. They could not find anything wrong...so they adjusted his meds and off we went. He will stay till Tuesday when he will see his regular doc and then he will most likely go home. I am tired with the time change and all.....hanging out in a hospital for 30 hours is not much fun. I am so glad he is okay!!

At least it wasn't 911!

My oldest and youngest did dial 911. (about 10 years apart) The fire engines did come both times...Fairfax County sends fire and ambulences for all hang ups...

What! I just lose 40 posts! How weird! Well, it was suppose to be my 500! Lisa

I noticed you lost 40 as well.....did anyone else?? I wish it were that easy to lose 40 POUNDS!!

Speaking of fairies, has any one noticed that a certain fairy hasn't dusted any one in our thread. The EB people have frequently.

Good enough to earn a visit from the Tag Fairy?

We are Tag Fairy orphans.

Yes, seems like the TF has not found us yet...maybe she will soon!!

We sent in our passport renewals a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully it won't take too long to get them. We have time since we aren't leaving the country until August.

I sent mine in on Feb 14th. Friday, the checks cleared my checking account. When you go online, it says NO APPLICATION FOUND for my SS #

Great name!

We have a black and white cat named Angel!!

I have a very important topic to research today online....my excuse for being on here .........I need to find out more about Cozumel and Grand Cayman so we can decide where to visit on our May cruise

On Cozemel, we loved Paradise Beach. Here is a pic from there.

On Grand Caymen, Rum Point is one of the most beautiful places I have been in the whole world. Long ride.....but really worth it!!

They probably would lick a slug too.

TOO TRUE!!!

I loved the iguanas - have countless pictures of them!

Lisa, ....I do too and I have some very funny Iguana stories to tell, we'll save them for one night at dinner because you have to see the animated version DH does as he's telling them....LOL

Lisa! I'm so sorry that I thought it was carpel tunnel, and you were in a serious car accident.....but I'm SO HAPPY everyone is ok (Bob tells me I have a few screws loose too ...but I wasn't, thank goodness, in an accident, I was just born that way! )

Stay safe, girl. You know, in two years, your family hasn't changed at all...I loved the pictures....Drew TOTALLY looks like his dad!

EllaEnchanted...love the baby, BUT, you aren't bringing the baby to dinner, are you?
Irish coffee...boy, I love Irish coffee, but one of those, and I'm on the floor As my DH tells me, I'm a very cheap date, two glasses of wine, and I'm OUT!

Scoops is more my kindof lounge (or whatever it is called) - I LOVE ice cream....and PALO....and chocolate souffles....and caesar salad in Animator's Palette...and Mickey waffles....as you can tell, FOOD is my favorite thing! That is why I'm pooh-sized...oh, yea, and my ULTIMATE favorite thing with Disney is

Lucy, .....a few screws loose and born that way.....I know we'll have so much fun at Friday's and remember it's OK to leave the kids for 2 weeks...

....bringing the baby to dinner....now that would really be a trip not to forget....no she will be dining at home that evening.

.....one irish coffee, two glasses of wine and you're on the floor, ut oh, better watch out, after all it IS st. patrick's day...

....I can still taste the steak and mozzorella omlett I had a Palo's...to die for and I LOVE mickeybars!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

Very cute! She looks so soft & fuzzy!

 

[Tigger1221]

where'd you work on your CP? and did you get stuck in vista or chatam?? I did the spring 04, worked at Splash Mtn gift shop and had a lovely apartment in Vista.....Absolutely loved it!


so I'm in sunny SoCal for the first time ever (my bff caved on internet access after all!! Whoo hoo! ) and I have to say I've never been so tired in my life, I've gone to bed at 9 every night since I got here!!! but I did get to DL once already, we're going again next week....

That's awesome, Splash is my Favorite ride!!!

I worked at the Emporium on Main Street. I actually got to stay in Chatam it was nice, but I wasn't there alot. I was at the parks every day and I had a season pass to Seaworld so I went there once a week. I miss it so much (it was in 2005). I hope to go work down there again some day.

My Dh has never been to DL so I hope we can go the day we get off the boat but I am afraid it will be too crowded.

If there are people who want to do the scavanger hunt but don't want to do it as a group, I will bring extra copies to give out with me. I was thinking if I put it on the website everyone would be able to see it before and that wouldn't make a very challagning hunt!

I love them too! When I was a kid, my mom used to take me to Mexico every spring (a couple times to Cancun before it got too touristy, and then to Ixtapa before it got touristy too) and she used to freak out when she'd hear or see an iguana crawl under her chair by the pool and I'd just crack up at her! They were so cute! Loved seeing their tails hanging over the roof at the hotel.

They were hanging out all over the ruins. I think me and all the kids onthe tour were the only ones finding them fascinating. A few people would walk out of their way to avoid them.

Here's a picture of one:

Those are huge!!!

I think they probably averaged about 2 1/2 to 3 feet long (including tail).

Kim

Oh man, I hate when my laundry attacks! Especially when I have unexpected company. Friday night my bedroom was nothing but PILES of laundry, so there was really nowhere to walk but ON the dirty laundry! SO embarrassing!

(Hmmmm....verging on TMI)

 

[nskjerven]

those iguanas creep me out...the reptile version of rats (which also creep me out)

Now that puppy on the other hand....that looks like a snuggle fest waiting to happen


I'm a dog person....I have to admit I even get a little skittish around our rabbit and she is such a cute little mini lop.

laundry is that an evil word or what? it attacks us from our couch in the living room. okay very embarssing that people see it when they stop by....fortunately my DH did mass amounts of washing, drying and even folding today. Tonight it will be line up soldier and take your clothes to your room and put them in your drawers. I think with that we (me & the kids) could try to do it now while DH is a Wlagreens on an errand...that would be a nice come home to suprise huh? Wish me luck and speed in my quest....back later....

I've always loved lops! Always wanted one. Maybe someday, but I'm just not up for taking care of any pets yet.

Good luck on your laundry quest!

Laundry...YUCK. I always start the week with the best intentions...I'll do one load a day and keep up. 3 days later, the piles have already started. Today, start the process all over. Still have 3 more to do Off to now, so, you'll probably see lots of posts from me tonight, remember, Queen of Procrastination

3 more loads? Ugggh....I feel for you. Good luck getting it done. Hang in there! At least you have the DIS to occupy your time waiting for the loads to finish!

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

Laundry is an evil word!

 

[been2marceline]

We got ours back in 05 when we did the mexican cruise



Great idea on spitting up by decks.

Venetia

Just catching up on two days of posts, so I am sure that John already caught that you will be cleaning the decks (spit shining, perhaps?)

[been2marceline]

I think there was someone else that watches House? Did you see this week's? I keep thinking about it - it just cracked me up what he did about faking being sick.

I'm finally getting around to writing thank you letters - I just am terrible at them. I still have them to do for my 1 year's old birthday party last Nov! I decided I'm doing them all in one sitting. Got photos done today of my little one to put in the cards. It was crazy at the mall - my three older boys (4, 6, and 9) starting wrestling in the store. I felt like the mother in Malcom in the Middle. And I looked over at this mother who was telling another mother - "see, that is what would happen if I were to get pregnant again" and the other one said "bite your tongue." I know, someday I will look back on these days and miss it all...but did my 4 year old really have to put gum on the seat belt? And what is up with the bowl of bugs I found in their bathroom? Argg...where is my DOD?!?!?!
Lisa

Lisa,

Still a day behind on posts, but we are HUGE House fans!!

He just keeps getting more and more despicable!! But we still like him! (What is wrong with this picture?)

I remember the gum on the seatbelt as well!! Ah, the memories...

I find it, book it, plan it, shop for it, obess over it, pack for it (ok he does help and packs his own bag) & pay for it (I claim whatever I earn goes towards vacations right now....Paul keeps hoping it will turn towards retirement, but that's just not fun enough for me (right now), I know soon enough it will be private school (high school and college) so for now I work for Disney, or at least to pay for Disney)

he also lifts the bags, but knows not to complain anymore, it hurts my tender feelings ( )

Oh my, Paul and Rafa will have so much to complain...I mean... talk about together in the cruise. Too bad that Rafa hasn´t yet taken my feeling into account and does complain his heart out

DH wants us to buy an apartment to rent out, but I told him the money I earn is going toward the cruise, so don´t count with it.

Seeing myself on the Jumbotron is NOT an incentive, Woody! Carolyn

I tried to catch up a couple of days ago, and I was just starting to when the disboards went down on mainteinance.

Actually, Noel was the first to catch this one. John did think that it was very funny too. I was hoping for a visit from the tag fairy for this slip of the fingers though. Always possible with a little faith, trust, and
