May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 9

[gydell]

So far it's me and John, Lisa and Darrell, Kathe, Deborah and family which includes two kids. You're staying in the neighborhood too aren't you? Would you like to join us all as well? I say, the more the merrier!

We probably will at least for a little while. When you set a time let me know!

Terry emailed me back all family member and friends are just fine. Rob will be coming home for Xmas from Pennsylvania as will his brother Erik from Colorado.

Oh that's good news. It'll be great to have the whole family together again for Christmas.

Thanks Deb!

My employer doesn't offer anything like that. They're a very small law firm and very stingy. The only reason I continue to work there is because of how flexible they are with my schedule.

I have applied at a couple of those type of banks for my student loans, but was turned down. Bad credit....long story. Been struggling to repair my credit for many years.

Something will work out. The school suggested I just take time to work a couple jobs, work as many hours as possible, pay down my current student loans to free up enough balance to continue, so that's what I'm going to try to do.

Oh how horrible. I guess if that's what you have to do and you get a year to do it.....but how do you pay $50k off in one year. That's gotta be tough with everything else you have to pay for.

I definitely will.....I'm so glad you're coming too. We get to start this party earlier!!!!! YEA!!!!!

I am so tired tonight. Long day at work and the girls were all over the place this evening.

Vanessa - Driving lessons and then a dinner party
Annie - Girl Scout Christmas party at the Mall and then shopping
Gretchen - 3 hours of dance and then a sleepover birthday party.

Tomorrow, Westfield (out HS) playing in the VA State Championship in Charlottesville VA (about 1 1/2 hours). We will be going and that will take just about the whole day.

I am going to bed soon, I am so tired,

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Well the lights are back on and John is home and the Chinese food is here! Yes, I had to do it after all the talk about it on here!

I'll check back later, if I don't fall asleep!

Deb, Remember a few days ago our post count was about the same...now you are ahead of me by about 100 posts

My DFIL is hospitalized tonight. He has been short of breathe and they tested his heart today and it is not very good.

He will be in the hospital for about 2 week. He is bleeding in his small intestine and he needs open heart surgery and bypass.

Okay, I have a pretty big house BUT.....and right now I have my mom, 2 girls, 1 son coming home next week, an exchange student, 1 dog, 3 cats and a husband.....and soon my FIL will be living with us.....

I am not sure where everyone will sleep......maybe I will move to a hotel

That's because you are so busy.

Not possible, but I have to try!

Lisa, I'm tired just imagining all that stuff you had to do! I have no idea how you manage to do it all!

Ooooh! I'm gonna have to grab some leftovers! Yummy!

You got the name right Lisa....now we just have to find it again!

John decided we're flying, not driving so we're coming into Sanford and picking up a car and driving to the hotel. That kind of kills our day on Friday. Then getting to meet at Grills. Were we going to dinner on Fri night or Sat night? I thought we picked Sat night? Oh well....we can firm it up as days get closer.

Sat is mani and pedi and Ron Johns....our favorite store in Cocoa Beach.

Friday - we'll be sailing on Sat

How about we do Chinese take out Christmas eve at the hotel and then do Evergreens at the Clarion for Christmas Day???

We usually go the Olive Garden for Christmas Eve.

Will you have a car to drive or will you be coming with us. We're renting a convertable and probably won't have room for all six of you. But Lisa and Darrell may be able to bring some of you in their car too. I think Kathe is also coming. We'll figure it out when we get there. I'm so glad you decided to come with us. We'll start our party early.

Sounds like a great idea - we're returning the rental car later that night so we'll have it for dinner.

Oh, we're coming on the cruise for sure. I thought I was going to have to cancel to get my deposit back to put on a major bill, but I found other ways to take care of things. And Tyler's dad did give me a check 2 days ago for what he owed me. He had been waiting for his Christmas bonus to cover that expense. So everything's good!

Great news!

We probably will at least for a little while. When you set a time let me know!

The more the merrier!!!

 

[kimerinc]

Every time I think I will be able to get caught up, something else comes up. We have been getting ready for DH Christmas Skating Show tommorow. I am blurry eyed from the early morning sessions.

I hope all is well with everyone!

Sure was nice to pay less than $3/gallon for gas! I paid $2.88 today....pleasant surprise!

mine was 3.35 yesterday and that was the cheap stuff

Glad everyone is safe in PA. Those shooting stories freak me out.

THe dinner plans at Grills sounds so fun. Can I be 2 places at once? As time heads nearer we may or may not go to the park, so we may just crash the party....I know what you guys look like

Lisa, sorry about your FIL. Prayers and paitence for you.

I'm so ready for Paul to come home.
I just love the fact that my DH is such a hands on dad.
He does so much with our kids. They miss their Daddy

We are going to work really hard tomorrow and get up all the rest of the Xmas decorations and put away all the boxes in the garage for him, so he can come home a relax.

Molly has been a doll, she is such a helper around the house. She has been folding clothes and helping me in my office too. She is my file clerk

My client shipped product today to Publix. Should be in the stores late next week. Cool, but I'm so tired of the work load. I've got 3 clients heavy and active right now and another one that I'm closing before year end. So really busy.

Not sure if I showed you the other cool client I'm working with...

http://www.patiopalm.com/

We should be in Costco, Home Depot, Target etc... in the spring

This is really nice as Paul and I are investors too. So we are hoping for some good traction once we get our big box orders in the next few weeks.

Time to attack the chocolate cake from KFC....I love it too bad it doesn't love me....

 

[HollyTyler]

Nan, the Patio Palm is SO COOL! It really looks like something my brother in Tennessee would love to have by his pool. He has such beautiful landscaping all around his pool, it would look great there. I can totally see him buying one!

The product hitting Publix stores soon, is that the smoothies? Yummy!
