May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 4

[granmaz]

Well I had seeded toast and marmalade! I was going to have cereal but there was not enough milk!

One year from today and we will be leaving the ship and going our separate ways. If we go to DL perhaps we will see folk around!

We ate at Don Pablo's tonight. Three baskets of chips! Lots of salsa, and queso blanco!

I've never tried Don Pablo's, but everybody tells me I should. Maybe sometime, if I can pull myself away from my current favorite spot.

Good morning all! Another busy day ahead of me....work and then class. But after class, I get an extra day with Tyler (maybe). His dad left town yesterday for his annual camping trip somewhere in Canada with a bunch of guys for a week. Tyler is usually at his dad's Wed, Thurs, and Fri overnights. His dad called me yesterday morning and asked if his stepmom could still pick him up from daycare and keep him overnight because she didn't want to lose too much time with him (we all checked with Tyler to see if he wanted to hang out with her and he did----probably doesn't want to come home with me just yet because of how much trouble he's been in with me...probably needs a break from mean mom). His stepmom really wants to have him stay with her tonight too, but we agreed to let Tyler decide. After one eveing of being at his dad's with his dad not even there, he might decide he wants to come home....especially since dad is the lenient one, stepmom is just as strict as I am. Anyway, we get some extra time together, so I'm hoping to go do lots of fun stuff. The weather isn't cooperating: cold and rainy, supposed to stay that way until Monday, so we'll just adjust our plans and find some cool indoor stuff to do.

Well, off to shower and then head to work! Have a great day everybody! I'm sure I'll be checking in on a break during class.

I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all those celebrating and Happy Anniversary to John and Amy!

NEWS: I think I mentioned that my daughter has been trying out for a club soccer team the last few months. They just asked her to join them and play in a tournament next weekend. The only bad thing is it is in Victorville, CA. For those of you that don't know where that it is, not your vacation place. Oh well she will be evaluated in this game and then we will know if she made it or not. I don't care (I mean I do but it's not my life) but it means so much to her so I hope it all works out. Give special pixie dust prayers to her tonight.

Lots of prayers and ixiedust:

(And Victorville isn't so bad - when we lived in Barstow Victorville was the "big city" for us! - Barstow is bad, probably the worst place to live in California, except of course for it only being 2 hours to Vegas
We couldn't wait to get out!)

I got some good news from Samantha's school yesterday when I went to pick her up....they have moved the graduation to 5/31 next year for her! I thought it was very very nice of them as they didn't need to adjust it for one child. Her teacher said there is no way I am going to put that child through two years of rehearsing and learning the show material and not have her be in it!! Yeah!!

Happy Belated Birthday Cherie!

Happy Birthday John!

Today is Our 21st wedding Anniversary!

(I already sent flowers)

We will also be celebrating next year on Board!

Happy belated wedding Anniversary John & Amy!

Happy birthday Cheri! Happy Anniversary John and Amy! And welcome back Deb!

Lisa, I've just seen these somewhere recently. Are we reading the same magazine?? AAA Westways magazine, perhaps??! They are SO cute!

I've been spending my afternoon looking at excursions for our port days and watching Panama Canal videos on YouTube! When does Disney usually decide which excursions they'll offer?? There are some good ones with reputable companies that I can book myself, but the reviews aren't recent.

My TA said that Disney probably won't release any info on our cruise until they come back from the Med. Her thoughts were that the Med cruise was so new they focused all their energy there for the summer. So, I am hoping in October or so we might start to see info up about our cruises.

We got a cool mailing from DVC today on AKV.

Nice brochure, and a DVD (haven't watched it yet).

This resort is going to be HUGE with the DVC addition.

Almost has me thinking add on ???????

We got that tonight too. When I was there I thought about adding on...called my rep when I got home....still haven't committed, but, can you ever have too many points?!

 

[Jhalkias]

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

We have been trying to think of that name for at least three years! We used to have a friend that worked at the one here in Peoria, but it closed down a few years ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Well, that is the EASIEST compliment that I have ever earned!

Thanks!

Just lovely that they will work with you on this. We hear of so many schools sticking rigidly to rules and not allowing children time off.

Well I look forward to the Magic returning then!!!

That sounds like fun.

I was laughing this morning when I dropped off my daughter at preschool. I did not even realize I was wearing my POTC T-Shirt and all the kids were all excited. I still have not even seen one of the movies yet. I heard they are kind of scary so I hope these little ones have not seen them and just are relating from all the hype.
