I think we should get a picture taken of our Champagne Girls too. That would be a good one to frame and put up behind the bar.

Wonderful idea!! Of course, in a PINK frame!!

Thanks for the translations! Sort of wondered as I recognised 'Karen', but couldn't work anything else out!!

I am thinking MGM, and then MK today - with maybe a swim in between that is becoming less possible as my sleepy-heads continue to snore. We have dinner at Ohana tonight (new one for us - we heard good reviews so wanted to try). I must say though, if it weren't for the DIS, I might be making them get up - maybe the internet access is not such a good thing!

Internet access keeps the peace!! I am always the first one up on vacation with GK's. Ohana is a great place to have dinner!!

Have a fun day with Amy and Sophia!!

Have a look here.

I haven't tried hooping sitting down yet though!!

Very kewl article Marilyn. Since I am from SF Bay area, very familiar with the areas spoken about in the article. Sure reminds me of the hula hoops of my childhood.

Before the boards go down and I'm back to talking to myself here, I just want to remind everyone to post their pictures on the shipofthieves website so we can see your smiling faces before cruise time. Hurry up....deadline's getting closer

I'm starting to STRESS again......aaaaagggghhhhh!

 

[kymma]

Oh! I want to be a CHAMPAGNE GIRL too! That sounds like great fun!

Hi Marilyn, I think it's just you and me on here. I didn't get on all day because I think I caught Karen's tummy bug. Slept most of the day, now I'm up at this odd hour.

I still tire easily and feel very dizzy/weak on and off throughout the day...

So I am toddeling off to bed and hopefully feel more like myself tomorrow.

Hope you feel better too!!

Karen

You two take care of youselves. That flu is nasty!

Sassy Bubbles and Champagne Cork.Mascots of the famous CHAMPAGNE GIRLS.

WoooHoooo!

Yeah, I know.....but I thought it was cute! Found it on the "bed bug" thread and couldn't resist!

I always knew that someday that ability to read upside down and backwards would come in handy!

We've had quite a few accidents around here lately. A man was crossing I-75 yesterday am and was struck and killed by a tractor trailer. He was 30 and it closed down the interstate until after 11 am. Today there is a tanker fire that has closed 375 and they are trying to see if it has done any structural damage. Not sure if anyone is hurt yet....everyone, be safe out there! Just seems like a lot of accidents lately.

I live a few miles outside of town so to get there I have to drive on a state highway that's know locally as "blood alley"-- Just yesterday, driving home I saw an accident. Many of them involve one car being rear-ended by another--I can't believe the number of dodos that get RIGHT ON your bumper and stay there, going 60 mph., as though you're blocking the road (the speed limit is 55). So I move over and let them by and they get right on the bumper of the car next ahead of me--what are they thinking???

Not much going on today. My sister is coming down tonight. Then she and mom are coming back tomorrow to go out to dinner. My mom has a dr's appt tomorrow...she's had sinus, face swelling issues for quite a while, they finally did an MRI last week and she is seeing a neurologist tomorrow. I know she is pretty worried...hopefully everything is ok.

I hope you get some answers soon.

Having never been to WDW, I'm following your trip with interest, John (along with the comments of others). It sounds so vast! And quite a choice in restaurants and hotels... I guess DL is very compact compared to it.

If anyone is interesested, this link leads to an article that talks about future expansion at DL. The writer seems to be well-connected, as his information usually proves to be accurate on down the road. One thing that is intriguing to me is the idea of the pricy "boutique" park.

I LOVE PJ's Pink Tink too....I'm just wondering if we should try to make the wings pink too...maybe in a lighter shade. What do you think?

Let me know, it was just a empty colouring page and I filled her in, so I can make any changes you all would like.

Not sure anybody has seen this or not so I thought I'd post it. Disneyland has got Pirate Disney Dollars! They are really cool. Apparently it is a limited set of 3. My daughter is going to be there in a week or two so I'm going to have her bring me back a bunch. Here's the link for the article.

Good night Holly. Just 40 more minutes until LOST! Then I will be out of here too.....

Kaylee-so what did you think of that episode? I kinda think the ending was creepy. They just went off on a tangent that they didn't need to do and it offered nothing to the existing story line. In fact it was like a whole new story. Crazy...but I still can't stop watching!

I am still shocked at the American Idol results but hey, it now is proven it is a popularity contest.

There's apparently a website called "vote for the worst" or something along those lines, which encourages people to actually vote for the worst person...can you believe that? So that's why Sanjai is still there.

OOOOOOOO! I might be there in a couple of weeks...I'll have to check those out!

Howard Stern is also lending a hand by begging folks to call in and vote for Sanjai. I believe there was an article about this in yesterday or today's USA Today.

The more there are the more fun it will be.

We love seeing all the pictures that everyone has posted. It really is fun to see. With that said, if we are killing you with the photo's, let us know and we will stop.

Here a couple of random shots:

Sailaway party - it was St Patricks Day!

A view of the depth of the verandah (and the height of the railing)

Photo to show a the height of the railing vs. a 7 and 4 year old - How could of those folks fall overboard

Just an FYI for any who might have an interest in other than AI, Survivor, or such stuff, tonight at 10:00 on National Geographic, part of the program will be about the moving of our Church. In 1958, our church decided to move locations for expansion. They actually cut the church in half, and moved it accross town. My dad was one of the people who helped move it.

http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/ET/popup/200703292200.html
Of course, the program notes do not mention our church, but the other one.

Sounds interesting John. Not sure we get that channel, but DH and I got sucked into a show last night about moving a house from the edge of the cliff back about 100feet. It was so interesting (this one they did whole), so I am sure we would find that really interesting as well.

Have a great day today. Enjoy the mouse and 'Ohana.

I just can't stop reading it.

That thread makes me itchy just reading it! Is there anything else major going on....the case she described didn't quite sound like it was definately bed bugs. The thought of it freaks me out!

V:

Hope your mom is ok. Keep us informed.....

Evening Kaylee! It's a quiet night tonight. Hope nobody else is poorly and hope those that are, Karen and Deb, are feeling better. Have a good evening all. Goodnight.
