May 2, 2009~~~Magical MAYniacs!~~~ 7 day Western....Updated, April 3,2009!!

[my4bratz]

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that tried to lose a few pounds before going on holidays I have to say, it's not going very well either I will be going tanning too this week. They say it makes you look thinner. I need all the help I can get

Now I know why I am so chubby.....all of the stress!! And I thought the chocolate was to blame!!

Hugs to all!

Here is a picture of PinkElephant's DD, Me, and PinkE. I am going to get my hair cut short before cruising so I have "wash & wear hair" but you should be able to recognize me! Hope this link to the picture works!

The pic looks GREAT!!!! The link works, but to post you need to put into something like photobucket that gives you an IMG code for posting.

 

[4everluvDisney]

Well, sign me up for the group....I've been fighting the fight my whole life and finally have accepted the body I've got . Do I love it? NOT!!!...but I've come to terms to accept it. (Yah, right..who am I trying to kid) I keep trying though...
Oh, by the way Doug says, I'm very trying

I can't believe that I am sitting here so very calm, considering we are leaving for WDW today and I haven't finished packing yet. I guess because we are driving if I forget anything we can always pick it up.

I wish everyone a safe trip and will see you at 2:30 on the promenade on May 2nd.

Audrey

 

[laura001]

Yes....2:30 in the Promenade Lounge! Although we will probably see you at the Radisson the night before we leave!!!!

Hope you have a great time at the GF!!!!!! Think of all of us!! Can you all believe it, the time is almost here!

I am in the same boat as you ladies. I was trying to exercise to lose some weight the last few months and I have lost nothing. My doctor did blood work on me and he said my cortisol levels were too high. Now I really need this cruise to relax. Is anyone staying at the Hyatt at the airport? We will be there. The days are flying by now. YIPPEEE!!!!!!

We are staying at the Hyatt too! Maybe we will see you there! My plan to get to the port is to rent a towncar from FL Tours and get to the port around 11:30ish. DH *hates* busses, so no DCL transportation for us.

I am so excited lately I can barely contain myself! I started packing today, even though we aren't leaving for 12 more days. But, really, we live in Michigan....I don't think we are going to need those shorts between now and then

I started packing too ! We live near Montreal, so I don't think that we will need shorts either anytime soon ! The living room is now the packing room !

We are leaving in 10 days ! We are staying at the WDW Dolphin for three nights and will be going to the Magic Kingdom before the cruise ! I can't wait to see my DD's face when we will be there ! She is already dreaming of all the princesses that she will be meeting ! And then I can't wait to go and enjoy my first cruise !

Safe Travels to everyone departing to Florida soon! We leave April 30. Plenty of time to worry about forgetting something.

Also, I picked up two extra over the door shoe holder thingies. I will be bringing them; anyone need one? My treat!!

We came home from visiting family and I needed to crank up the furnace. We will not be in need of shorts either!

I hope that everyone starts to wind down.....sounds like we all are in need of rest and relaxation! Remember, it's 5:00 somewhere.

Hugs!

For those of you getting ready to start your adventure, good luck with the final packings, have a safe trip and we'll see you real soon (to quote our favorite lovable mouse!)

For anyone who is interested-DD and I went to see the Hannah Montana movie. The movie WAS fun, I have to admit but I'm still sticking with no ho-down for me...to complicated, but it sure looks like fun!!

Michelle:

This is sooo funny! I picked up DD last week and I had it blaring on the car stereo; trying to learn the words! I opened the windows just to embarrass her!!;-) We get so little times to amuse ourselves as parents!!!!

And just remember, "Pop and lock it, polka do t it, countrify....." "Zig Zag across the floor......"


Wooo Hooo! It's Monday!

Hugs!

Hi everybody,

I've been missing in action for a little bit, but have been keeping up with the posts through my DH (Myth). I think he is addicted to this thing. I cannot believe we only have 2 weeks before we leave. I have been in the quiet panic mode (if there is such) obsessing about possibly forgetting anything. I told my DH that I was not leaving without a pedi...I usually don't indulge, but my feet are in such a shape that they need professional help. I have also come to terms that I am not going to be any thinner before the cruise (not that I have been trying all that hard). A few months ago, all gung ho about losing weight, getting in shape; what happened?!?

I have been trying to keep a running list of what to bring, etc., because I know I'm going to forget something. I'm also trying to think about what I need to tell my parents, they are keeping they boys. I'm looking sooo forward to going, but I can't help but worry....(I'm a chronic worrier).

Sorry about the precise typing...I'm a medical transcriptionist (I sometimes forget I can use contractions!!)

Hi Bah Mom
Only 12 more days to go. I think we are all in panic mode. From past experience, the anxiety and stress levels don't go away until Day 2 of the cruise. That's when everything seems to just come into place and we all settle into a routine - a routine of rest and relaxation. THAT's when most of us will be saying: ahhhhhhhhhh..

Hey Zerog!!! I am stressing out totally now!!! I was up at 5:00am thinking about things I had to get doneand not forget!

I was wondering if you could post the pic of the Promenade Lounge again for everyone so I can start reminding everyone about the "meet" Thanks a million!

Hi Bahama Momma! I feel the same way, I can't stop worrying about how I am going to get everything done in the next two weeks with my usual busy schedule. Its amazing how much preparation and stress we go through just to have a relaxing vacation. It will all work out though

BTW... we live just over the river in Mandarin. Glad to see we will have neighbors on the boat

ZeroG, what deck is that picture of?

See you all at 2:30.

Here are a couple of pre-cruise diversions:

For those of you who missed Adam Lambert's performance on American Idol two weeks ago - the one where Simon gave a standing ovation - here is the link. Be sure to compare it to the original performance by Tears for Fears, on the same webpage:

• http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b117637_american_idol_adam_lamberts_mad_world.html

Need a Monday morning smile? How about one in the form of a 12 year old singing phenom named Shaheen? Slide on over, Susan Boyle, you've got some company. (Anyone else notice that Simon is not half the prick he is on American Idol). Here is another video from Britains Got Talent:
