Hi Everyone,
I hope you all have had a fabulous Mother's Day! I am watching that movie PS I LOVE YOU and crying my heart out, so I thought I would try to cheer myself up by checking out the Disboards, it always makes me laugh!

Mati, could Michael and I be added to the list for the Wine Tasting by chance??

Have a great night everyone!
Kristin

 

[austin77]

Absolutely! Just give me a call. Have you all made reservations for that night or are you just playing it by ear?

No we haven't yet, I was looking online for prices and availability and a few hotels have been booked up! I think we are just going to wing it! If there is nothing there we will just keep going south! But I would imagine were going to be dead after we meet up! lol, I suspect the Days Inn or Super 8 is where we will try to get!!

This was taken today. We just won't tell my husband he's on the message board.

Oh my goodness it's like 5 days now!!!! Well, we had a good time the past couple of days, but family's gone now so I can get down to the business of packing all but those last few post-shower items I'll have to do Saturday morning & cleaning really well so I'm not afraid to come back here after the cruise. Woooooo!

Hope everyone had a nice mother's day. Not that I really celebrate it on either side of the coin, but I did happen to have a fun day. Tutto Italia was soooo good. (That's something I rarely say about food, despite how I look ) I'm just so tired now!

Any day is a good day that involves seeing the Nelson Twins. *Insert slightly naughty grin here*

PS I love you killed me btw. I will ONLY watch that sort of thing alone nowadays if at all. If I'm going to be pathetic no one's gonna see it darn it! I'm almost afraid to watch the Grey's finale this week!

How'd the whole baby announcement thing go Jordan?

 

[SpeedFigure]

Funny you mention that.....
Hi Everyone!! PHEW What a crazy FUN day!! We just got home and uploaded our pics & Video.
It was AMAZING!!!!!!!

First we went to my Mom & Dad's for a breakfast. I couldn't handle not waiting and made her open presents first thing. Sorry the video is a little long, and the end part is funny (Noooooo we won't tell anyone )
Mom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUe9ldMlsQg

She about ran out screaming onto the streets. She is SO excited...and yes coming over tomorrow to talk more about Babies.

My inlaws...they were funny. They opened the gift and were SO clueless. My sister in-law had to point it out.
Kathy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v1dTuxqK9I

They are so baby hungry for another grandkid, so they are excited.

My niece LOVES baby and wouldn't leave me alone after we broke the news. She even whipped out a baby doll for me to practice with. Too funny

She also forced Chad to take a picture of us with "her baby'. haha

I Hope all you Mothers, Moms to Be, Want to be Mom's, Grandma's, Pet Mom's...all had a GREAT DAY!

[texfinn]

Good Morning everyone!

There is so much to do, I am just stressing out. I couldn't sleep anymore so got up to start working on FE gifts.

I have a ton to catch up on with the tastings. I'll do that after my workout this morning and then repost with updated times (based on latest navigator), new tastings (cognac & whiskey) and who has told me what. Lynsey, I'll email you my excel when I am done if that is ok.

I had to get in here though and say JorDan -- I really love the video of you telling your Mom! It almost made me tear up! What a perfect day. I am so glad it went well. You are going to be an Awesome Mom and I can't wait to meet you (in just a few days!).

Ok, back to working on the cruise items.....

 

[texfinn]

Ok -- I am missing Jamie's cabins, can someone post her new numbers again?

AND has anyone heard from Phil &Kelly (Pwoodson)? Do we have their cabin number?

I cried, and cried, and cried! Speaking of crying... we finally watched Marley & Me and let me just say I may be smuggling my puppy on board with us ...shhhh

Happy Monday! My hubby woke up this morning and said, we are leaving Thursday. Not next Thursday, not 3 weeks from Thursday. Just Thursday! Can't wait! I was reading the Passporter guide last night and looks like we are having Palo on the Capt Gala night. (we did the same thing on our last cruise) Are we going to miss anything good or is this a good night. It also happens to be semi-formal night.

 

[lillygator]

noo you are not missing anything good and the lobster in Palo is much better too!

 

[lillygator]

do we have word on Cozumel yet?

 

[ottermouse]

Safe travels to everyone leaving already!!!
It's sooooo soon!!!!

My husband woke up today and was like "At this time next week we'll be on our way to the Port!".

Also, who said I would be tried?? I'm WIRED! I couldn't get any sleep last night. hehe (I think it's because I'm so excited to tell the parents)
Plus I have Fibromyalgia, let's just hope that doesn't flare up bad. I'm used to being tired.

V, glad it made it there already. Remember to leave me some good feedback!

SONYA- So glad to hear from you. Sorry about your hassle. We'll keep you updated on the cruise if anything happens. MISS YOU!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!! To you and your hubby! Remeber this is the time when you can eat what you want and blame it on cravings...lol

 

[ottermouse]

I hope everyone had a good mothers Day! My day was wonderful went out on a friends boat and had a 5 min boat ride to a island right across the bay from our house. I can see the island from my kitchen window..lol We were there all day even blew off our dinner plans. Got too much sun even after reapplying SPF 50, with that said....PLEASE remember to put sunblock on! like I said we were reapplying and still got sunburn. Florida sun is no joke and I do believe it will be stronger the further south we go. ok so that was my PSA for the dayWe leave friday morning for our trip to Port Canaveral WWOOHOOO!

Hi Lillygator--We have 8022. My sister, nieces (5 and 14) and I are the cast members. We could not convince hubbies and my teenaged sons to go--are they really aware of all the fun they will miss? We tried hard to convince them, but no takers. So, it's a girls only week with 3 days at the Beach Club Villas tacked on at the end. Glad to hear you enjoyed 8022. We would have signed up for the FEs, but I think I found the boards too late. If there is any way to participate still, I would do that. We are very good present-givers.

SpeedFigure--your story and your photos are beautiful and touching. Thank you so much for sharing those. You have cemented an early memory in your wonderful journey. I have been very lucky to do and see a lot in my lifetime, but nothing measures up to, or even approaches, the wonder and importance of being a mom.

I have been cruising the May 2 boards for "back-home" reports, and there are a couple of themes:

Kids absolutely loved it and did not want to go home--this included last-day crying

Sunburn--lots of ouchies

Hard to meet everyone--not enough time

So much laundry on the return!!!!!

Well, four more days till the flight into Orlando. Meantime, I have SOOOOO much to do!

Hope everyone is enjoying the excitement of the countdown!

Barbara

 

[lillygator]

Barbara - that is awesome....


hope everyone is doing well...I knwo the excitement is building around here. The Atlantis is scheduled to go up today at 2 something, got an email from Rusty's (restaurant) and if you are there and teh shuttle goes off - you get a free drink!!

 

[jhart901]

Room numbers are 7512 and 7514.

Barbara,
I didn't know you guys were CM's. Does that mean you work at the Tyson's store? If so, how long have you worked there? My mom's BF worked at the store for YEARS before they moved to FL, and she's now working at the parks. My brother (coming on the cruise) also works at Tyson's, in Nordstrom.
