We're home! Don't know if I should be excited about that. Had a great time.
Think I will just try and catch up tonight and toddle off to bed. Work tomorrow
Yup, HUGE Judy Blume fan! But what girl wasn't?
Hi everyone!
back from my trip to the seaside...I see I have just 35 pages to catch up on!!!!and do i spy a new logo???
How was the trip?! About 2 months later, on my way home to see my boyfriend, I met him again and had a much better impression
Needless to say, broke up with my boyfriend back in CT and headed back to Seattle a single woman. Scott and I were roommates first (in a house of 7-the mutual friends rented a large house and we all moved in with some other friends). Finally 3 months later we started dating and the rest is history. 
It was great because we had become great friends before we even shared our first kiss.
I have a secret....
I'll have a few for my near and dear....I got 'em on ebay, have ya heard of that place

OMG....I
That sounds so great. You are so creative PJ! Can't wait to see it
After cleaning all day, I am shopping on the internet.
Looks great! Anything Pottery Barn works for me
Hi all - Love the champagne girls and DCL tiaras...makes me want to break into singing 'I feel pretty, oh so pretty...'
Been really busy trying to get stuff ready for the Med repo cruise. Finally got our room assignments! Booked a 12 GTY and the upgrade fairy put us in a Cat 9!!! We are really happy. Room is supposed to be a little noisy, so I went and bought industrial strength ear plugs (good for working on heavy machinery or shooting) so I figure we will sleep through anything. I will see if I can find any more of those tiaras...I think we are going to need LOTS!!!!
Can't wait to hear all the stories from that cruise!
Oops!! I hit send to soon!!
Here are the pics!!
Sorry!
Karen
Looks absolutely beautiful and peaceful!
DD ran out of the room before the Doc could even get the needle in position!!
Thank heaven for the locked door before the waiting room, or she would have been long gone!!!
She is now due for the set that comes when they turn 12!! Oh boy...
Karen
Must say this is where my doctor skills fall apart. As an ND, we do all our own shots and blood draws (rather than having nurses) and whenever I give an immunization, both of us are usually crying!
Congrats to both of you for your teams. John thanks for continuing to share your trip and pictures. Love the one of Amy with the bubbly and all of you with Mickey and the gang. You all look so happy (but you are in WDW so of course you are) and relaxed.
10 more pages to go......
Oh and did I mention POC At Worlds End PremiEAR on board?????
!
Just had the most brilliant idea.....
I've just seen on the DCL site that the Eastbound transatlantic repo cruise on May 12th is selling cat 12 staterooms for $999!!!!!!!! That's for 14 nights too!
Now then, we cruise with DCL on the 5th May for 7 days and are due to fly home on the 12th May..........can you see where this is leading?......
I think it would be a MUCH better idea, rather than fly home, for us to get back on board and bring that lovely ship across the ocean to Europe....don't you??
Mark has just said 'NO'.....but he has to go to work....and I don't!!!!!
Well....what do you guys reckon? (or do you think this would lead to divorce?)
Prices vary all up and down the East Coast. We are in Bethany Beach DE...which tends to be a little on the pricy side, as we are so close to DC, Phila, and NY.
This house is 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and $10,000,000!!
This house is 1 block from the ocean and 2 blocks closer to the ocean than we are.
6 bedrooms, 5 baths, and $2,265,000.
This house is 2 blocks from the ocean
5 bedrooms 3 1/2 baths and $1,495,000
This house is 3 blocks from the ocean
4 bedrooms, 3 baths and $985,000
As you can see, it is much more affordable as you go just 3 blocks back.
We are three blocks from the ocean and have a VERY small house. It sleeps 8, 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths. We love it here.
This is a map of Virginia. There is a great "undiscovered part" the two counties very far east....south of MD and not attached to VA anywhere. Accomack and Northampton. Real Estate is very cheap ... even ocean/bay front. If I were in the market for another house, I would look there.
Another very favorite place is Mount Pleasant SC...so beautiful.
I love waterfront!!
Thanks for this info. I figure there has to be somewhere else that we would consider to retire to with the beach atmosphere that I'm desiring. This is the back up plan to not finding the right house here in Half Moon Bay. It's been 1 1/2 years that we have been looking and only 2 houses were considered. Unfortunately, we were in a contingent escrow for one. It fell thru (on the sellers side) so we now how that ideal house stuck in our heads. Oh well if it's meant to be it will happen sooner or perhaps later. I think Paul and I will make an effort in the next few years to check out the eastern seaboard to be sure that we aren't missing anything over there.
Have you looked in Bodega Bay?
I asked Paul about this, but it isn't that much more less expensive, so for retirement why not look out of CA...state tax is the top of my list of reasons to look elsewhere out of state. If we find something within the next few years we can go to HMB because it's close enough to get to clients at a phone call notice...BB would be too far for that I'm afraid. And too far from family and friends for now. I don't think we'd do the 2nd house again, it just wasn't worth it for us, our weekends are too full of the kids stuff right now.
I agree with Holly, it's nice to sometimes re-read what is going on. We do get a bit chatty every now and then, but that's what is making our group fun for me. I've been quite happy to read as I can and post when I want...just like a normal friend ship, they don't always have to be full on or off to work.
With that I'll sign off, it's been a great weekend here. I hope to load some pictures this week and post some of our fun....btw, I'm blonder now
nite nite, Nan
Yep, public school...go figure! We do like the schedule for vacations.
Welcome home...looking forward to reading your trip report when you're ready!
Welcome home!
Our pediatrician used the numbing spray but apparently (given by the shrill) it didn't work. It was quite a sit, glad it's behind us.whenever I give an immunization, both of us are usually crying!
love that...'scathingly brilliant'.....must tell Mark that!
Glad John's Mum was better Maz, where does she live?
How about the 'champagne sippers' for you girls?
Been gone most of the day, so catching up!
Our DVR has been busy taping this all day and we are watching the DCL one right now!! It is very updated, even included a teaser on the new ships!!!
WDW is on right now! They are showing the castle suit right now!!
