Andy, I so wish you could have found a way to join us!
If it makes you feel any better -- can you believe it's *snowing* here today?!
Wow, the founders of MediaMarx are joining us, too! This is starting to feel like a celebrity cruise! I'm a big Passporter fan! Ive been dragging the cruise edition around like a security blanket for weeks, and the WDW edition from our last trip is brimming on the coffee table! (Jennifer and Dave, I know you're relaxing, and completely understand if it would be an imposition, but it would be wonderful to spend a few minutes with you to get some advise -- I'm very seriously looking at moving away from corporate life to writing more, with the eventual goal being writing for a living. Twenty minutes of your time would be so appreciated.)
Flags! Don't think there's time before we leave -- thank goodness we've got one waiting for us to install our flagpole when we get back. It's not the Stars and Stripes, but I've always thought they and the Maple leaf lookpretty good together!
Jeanne434 -- you are just too cute! You remind me of my sister, and I haven't even met you yet!!
PeachyK -- I'm bringing a long black skirt and a sleeveless paisley/greenish and black /sparkly top (looks better than it sounds!). If your velvet isn't heavy, you'll probably be fine -- but there's something so appealing about a light pretty dress on a carribean night that might make you prefer the other. (I'm, shall we say, more of a woman of substance, so I kind of stick to the simple look, but I'd love to wear a 'floaty' dress!)
Now, the wine's picked up; the bags are on the bed; the dry-cleanings done; nametags are made (yes they feature the paint chips!), just gotta go pack . . . and keep dancin' . . . we leave in THREE days!!!!

But seriously- it just hit me- at this time next week my belly will be too full and my server will still be insisting that I have dessert of some sort.
" Okay , okay - I'll have one of each -if you insist."
Then it will be back to the room to change into something (with an elastic waist) suitable for dancing upon the deck!!
First I'll tuck my kiddos into bed for the night- I know they will be worn out.
YEAH RIGHT!!!
They have notions of staying up most all the night. I can't wait to dance with my girls!!
Just about the only requirement I have is that they make it for dinner as a family each night suitably dressed for formal potraits. I am DETERMINED to get a few wonderful family potraits before DD enters the Army. This is absolutely non- negotiable. You will dress up and smile every night or spend the next day in the room with room service cut off!! Actually- they are all looking forward to dressing up. Even DS- Sir Sulleness just cuz he's 15 is planning on wearing a full suit each night! And the girls have wonderful gowns so that isn't an issue at all with them. I told them they can change right after dinner but there has been no arm twisting any of them. We will probably be over dressed most nights but who cares? This is a once in life time opportunity and we are going for it. I have budgeted big bucks for photos- even at the expense of any excursions! I am sure we will even be imposing upon strangers and fellow dis'ers to snap photos of us! ( I think we oughta get the room steward to do a group shot in the Walt at the wine tasting- for us and for dearest Andy)
oh shoot- I just realized that this looong post could have upped my count by about 10 at least. At this rate I will never get Veteran Status.

Okay- I need your help.
I have just moved here- I don't even know my new neighbors yet- have not exchanged a single word as of yet.
I know my near constant dancing must be annoying them- but hey- I gotta do it.
With three of us in the household boogieing about it is a constant rattle upon their heads i'm sure.
How should I handle this?
I know they must hear my whoops of delight.
They must have spotted my ever more frequent shopping excursions.
They have surely noticed that I have not home cooked a single meal in days. (who needs to eat- anticipation is my food)
Now I know that this may not be the right time to approach and introduce myself.
yikes- Did I say that out loud?? Sorry about that- ever hear of a disease called S.D.D.- it's not my fault. It's kind of like Tourettes- but more fun.
HEHEHE- as in less then a week!!!
OMG- I gotta dance- NOOOOOOWWWWWWWW- later dis'ers!
shoot- missed another chance to add at least ten posts to my count- sheesh- Sis talks often- I just talk on and on....lol
I feel like a silly little girl again ( remember the butterflies)! My husband got me this cruise for my birthday (its April 28th) so I thank him everyday for the best birthday gift I have ever gotten! ( and thats even before I go) He had to try his best, I gave him a son on his birthday, (hard act to follow).
