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

This is my 'little angel' Well, she was once anyway! Becky, aged 18
It's about the only one I could find with her natural hair colour!

Wow...the color of her eyes is amazing! As one who has no idea what her real hair color is I understand the concept of changing it!

 

[fourmcds]

Yes they are. The boys at the back are Joel,8, and Nathan, now 7. Girls from left. Abigail,8, Charlotte and Amy, twins, 5, and Emma 6. We also have Declan who is just 3.

That must be fun for them, having so many cousins all around the same age.

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

I know my tags could use some refreshing...they're old. I see the EB group has lots of new tags.... I am feeling a little left out

After about a half an hour in the chair, I have butt death. My last root canal took 2 hours. I'll take a filling any day.

Oh man, I hope the Tag Fairy's not looking ...I certainly would not want "Butt Death" as a tag!

Queen of Procrastination

Never put off tomorrow what you can do the day after!

How many of us have passports or will be getting them by cruise time?

We have ours. We used them for our cruise last Feb.

We have ours, DD is the only one with a stamp in hers, though. The guy at customs coming back into the US this past February stamped hers, and not mine (I was right behind DD in line) go figure.

It almost seems like you'd have to have fish extenders or Christmas stockings or the like because otherwise how would you know who to deliver it to? And I think the sign up with a cutoff date is a great idea.

I am in a GTY so I will let you guys know our cabin as soon as I find out. I am having anxiety issues about being left out of "group things" since ya'll won't know where to find us!

Oh gross! Well, I found a frozen, dead bird in my driveway after more snow melted. Yuck! Too grossed out to deal with it today.

Oh man, that is icky. I am sad to report we need to update our pet list. Mekayla's ferret died last Friday...Mekayla called me at work when she got home from school and said "Mom, you need to come home right now!" I got all paniky and asked "why, what's up?" she told me Spice was dead in the cage...I then (without thinking it through) said, "well, if he's dead, there's no real reason for me to rush right home then, huh?" O.K. that may have not been the right thing to say off the bat, but there it is. So needless to say, I got her calmed down and told her to cover the cage with a sheet (our other ferret was asleep in the same cage and obviously had no clue his brother had passed) and as she didn't want to touch her dead pet it got to wait until I came home from work. We knew he was on his way...they only live like 7 years and he was at least six. Losing pets is so hard.

Hope this works!

She is just lovely! Her eyes are amazing and I personally like the piercings! Mekayla has her nose pierced and I have a few myself.

Wow, I am so mad! I was going to post pictures of my 4 cuddle buddied but photobucket won't let me log in. It says I never activated my accoutn .

We have tons of laundry to be done but we don't have a washer and dryer (we are going to get one when we move) and I hate laudry mats so I have to drive 30mins to my moms house to do it.

I am supposed to be doing my homework so when DH gets home we can pack up the house. But, the DIS was calling my name.

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Our thread was too low on the list, just wondering where everyone is....

Oh I know...Monday afternoon...we're working! Well, some of us anyways

 

[lillygator]

oh my, we just had an immediate evacuation!! We were outside for 45 min.....due to an odd smell. I did get to gaze upon some hunky firefighters though, and everyone is safe!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Good to hear nothing bad happened. The diversion of the hunky firefighters was a great way to break up the work day! LOL

 

[clynne]

Thea...I'm so sorry about Spice. And, more sorry that Mekayla had to find it herself!

Mandy...Love the picture of Becky! Very striking and love her eyes.

Marilyn...Cute grandkids! Definitely all from the same gene pool!

Karen...Love the family pics. Your daughter is gorgeous!

Like the birthday ideas, but we're not creative birthday people. Would prefer just family at home, but last year splurged on kid parties. It was fun for THEM. Thinking build-a-bear for sissy is good (thanks, LiserAnn), but still thinking for DS8. Any ideas for not-at-home celebrations?

No piercings here! (Well, besides one boring small hole in each earlobe. So not cool enough for Becky or Mekayla or Thea...)

definitely, now if they could have just fed me strawberries and champagne while massaging my feet....well,


I am off to pick up the princesses....

 

[been2marceline]

Ok, here are 6 of our 7 grandchildren. One more is due in September! This was taken last August at our son's wedding.

Oh my gosh, Marilyn!! What a bunch of cuties!!

Missed you last night, glad your internet is up!! I agree that I might actually get other things done around the house if ours went down, but I hope I don't find out if that would be true!!

Karen

 

[been2marceline]

I am not liking this time change right now...maybe tonight when we can be outside for a bit later.....

laundry - it is a never ending battle at my house, especially since I am the only one doing it. I am going to start weeding out clothes that no one wears anymore and donate it. There is a 6 drawer chest in our bedroom that has all DH's various t-shirts....that are never worn. Ones that are special to him I am going to try and find someone to make me a t-shirt quilt.

We started the weed out process 2 weeks ago! I have 4 big Creative Memories boxes full of DD's clothes, 3 boxes of general give away stuff (crap) and DH has a bag to go through for the final give away.

Hmmmm, looks like I am the only one that hasn't a box of my old stuff filled yet...

2 boxes are getting picked up today by one of our friends that we hand girl clothes down to (the good stuff!) And the rest will go with the Veteran's pick up truck on Wednesday!! WOOHOOO!!

Now if I can just find the time, energy and will to break away from the DIS long enough, I have 2 more ROOMS to go through!! (Where did all of this stuff come from in the first place?)

That's her natural hair color!! What lucky girl!!

When will they learn how truly beautiful they are without all of the other stuff that says "look at me"!!!

Good evening Karen, or good afternoon for you!!!

 

[been2marceline]

Ok, which one of you two wants to come up here in June and host an AG party! Wow, you are both so creative and sounds like the parties went great. I am off to really think about how to do this...I love the idea of renting the hotel, so much better than our house! Thanks for the inspiration, good think I have 3 months to plan

I have to say that the hotel party we did was one of my favorites! And the hotel wasn't as much $ as I thought it would be either!! Especially when it included breakfast and no clean up for me!!!

Karen

 

[granmaz]

Just about to go to bed. Quite a good film on TV at the moment, but I don't think i can stay awake.. Maybe record it, though it is a little frightening!

 

[Tigger1221]

WAHOO!!! We just got our cruise confirmation in the mail, now it is beginning to feel real.

We are going to be in WDW from May5-18 if anyone else is going to be there we would love to meet!

 

[granmaz]

I wish I was going to be there, but our next trip will be in November/December.

 

[nskjerven]

She has beautiful eyes!!! Like marbles!

okay I'm sorry but did you just say she had marbles in her head ! I know you didn't but that was my visual!

she does have beautiful eyes (& hair but I said that part before)

Okay, back from all my business trips. Did I miss anything?

hmmmm, animal updates new puppy, over achieving birthday parties, one bad car accident, I think only 1 hospital trip, discussion on the Abercrombie Men (yum) and a threat about the hooters chicks (yikes) okay that's all, well not really but I'm not the chatty creative one like Aunty Brat, I'm just a plain old bean counter with only creative ideas for those crazy AG birthday parties....

Ok, which one of you two wants to come up here in June and host an AG party!

do you realize you just gave to travelling nuts a reason to come to WA? Ha ha ha! I've actually thought in another life I'd be a great girly party planner, but alas I don't think my hourly rate as a great bean counter would match that idea, so I stay rooted in my chair and help those who can't count their own money....

I know my tags could use some refreshing...they're old. I see the EB group has lots of new tags.... I am feeling a little left out


hey at least you felt the love, me no lovie here....


Oh man, I hope the Tag Fairy's not looking ...I certainly would not want "Butt Death" as a tag!



Never put off tomorrow what you can do the day after!

or the week after next (my moto)



We have ours, DD is the only one with a stamp in hers, though. The guy at customs coming back into the US this past February stamped hers, and not mine (I was right behind DD in line) go figure.

an injustice I say!



I am in a GTY so I will let you guys know our cabin as soon as I find out. I am having anxiety issues about being left out of "group things" since ya'll won't know where to find us!

totally agree with you...hence my need to be invovled (with everything in my life) otherwise I might get looked over or forgotten...


Oh man, that is icky. I am sad to report we need to update our pet list. Mekayla's ferret died last Friday...Mekayla called me at work when she got home from school and said "Mom, you need to come home right now!" I got all paniky and asked "why, what's up?" she told me Spice was dead in the cage...I then (without thinking it through) said, "well, if he's dead, there's no real reason for me to rush right home then, huh?" O.K. that may have not been the right thing to say off the bat, but there it is. So needless to say, I got her calmed down and told her to cover the cage with a sheet (our other ferret was asleep in the same cage and obviously had no clue his brother had passed) and as she didn't want to touch her dead pet it got to wait until I came home from work. We knew he was on his way...they only live like 7 years and he was at least six. Losing pets is so hard.

Very sad, and I also would have said something like that and then felt bad enough to come home & buy another feret on my way...I'm very afraid of our almost 15 year old dog going to the light and me finding her first


She is just lovely! Her eyes are amazing and I personally like the piercings! Mekayla has her nose pierced and I have a few myself.

Piercing too much pain, just the ears here. Molly gets hers done when I did at 13. She is thrilled with that as she thought I said 18 one time so she had completely adjusted to the idea before she really asked me about it.

Late to get them from school yikees!!!

Ok, mom, lacking a little in the sympathy department. Too logical, just like me!!

It is very sad to lose a pet. took me 10 years to get another cat after my last sweetie pie kitty passed away.

With kids, though, they snap back pretty quickly. She'll probably be asking for a replacement pet soon!

What film is it?

Yes, it's around 3:20 pm here. I am DISing from work while I wait for my UPS pick up.

Have sweet dreams!!
