May 5th 2007 Western Magic CINCO DIS MAYO!

[CruiseBoundnKY]

I have logged 447 minutes on the treadmill this week and haven't lost but like a pound or 2. I'm watching what I eat and everything . I'm not giving up. I have my Excel schedule of what I am going to do this week and I have every intention of sticking to it.

I haven't made our final payment yet either, but will soon and I haven't rec'd anything either.

I did by mine, dd and ds outfit for formal night this weekend.

I can't believe our countdown now starts with a 3 I guess I had better get moving

I love the new WISH smilies. I'm sure we could ask if we could borrow them. I'm supposed to be on the red team, but I bailed. This week my gym is starting a BL contest and I go tomorrow night to get put on a team. Maybe I'll do better this time.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

You know i think 3 months is a long time but counting by weeks seems so much less.. why is that?

How do i insert a picture when i don't have a url for it? Was going to post a family pic of us but not sure how

I, too, am in need of a new job. To make a long story short, my office was closed last summer and I was laid off after 12 years with the company. I got another job within a month, but unfortunately, that job did not turn out to be the right fit for me, so I am planning to resign from it tomorrow. I have a resume out for a position with another company, that I am praying will work out. My qualifications match the job desription perfectly. So please send some prayers and pixie dust my way.

You need to go to Photobucket.com and get an account to post pictures on message boards. It's very easy!

I haven't made my final payment either, so don't know why I got the travel kit. I plan to in the next few weeks though. Need to book those Palo ressies on the 4th of Feb!

I have the 3rd and fourth edition of the Passporter, so won't get the new one since most of it will be the same. I love this book!

We (me and the two other girls I keep in touch with from our West Coast DCL cruise) have been having a blast emailing back and fourth about DCL coming back to Calif. for summer 2008!

Do you have any more information on the West Coast cruise? I would love to go on it, it's so much closer to our neck of the woods.

My dieting efforts are going well. I weighed in on Saturday and to my surprise I lost 5lbs in a week It's amazing what happens when you stick to the diet and exedrcise, it also helps that DH is doing it with me now.

Have a great week everyone!

Thanks, CruiseBoundnKY. Best of luck to you with the job you hoping for, as well.

"Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust" for us all!

They should be releasing the dates for the West Coast cruises in a week or two if the rumors are correct. It would probably sail out of San Pedro like last time (Port of Los Angeles) and go to Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo. It's for the summer of 2008, so the weather in Mexico that time of year is usually humid, hot, and it's their rainy season. Since we went in June, it was overcast, but not too hot and we had no rain. Cabo was sunny and warm. I guess late July and August, Sept it gets real hot and they have more rain. Being our first cruise, we had a great time!

Good luck to all you job hunters!!!

I was very good yesterday and today on my diet. I have even been drinking my water. I don't weigh until next thursday. I decided I don't want to get crazy looking at the scale every morning. It helps that my husband is on a diet too.
We had some very heavy winds on Friday. With gusts up to 45 mph. A large part of the fence on the side of our house blew down and DH spent this weekend with the neighbor rebuilding it. I had wanted to go somewhere to play and practice with my new camera, but that didn't work out. I want to be able to use it with out pulling out the book all the time! Especially on the cruise.
Madison has started to ask me or papa to tell her about "our cruise vacation" instead of reading her a story at bed time. I alway ask where she wants me to start and she says at the very beginning. Which means "on Thursday morning we will get up early and get all our bags ready to go to the airport....." It depends how tired she is as to whether the ship has left port or not!
Oh and Debbie, maybe you got your travel pack because you are a repeat cruiser? We are all jealous though.
Well have a good Monday all. And again best wishes to all of you job hunters!

I am a repeat cruiser as well and haven't received anything yet. maybe debbie is just special.


Have a question for those of you that have shipped stuff via fedex to the cruise prior to sailing. What kind of items can and have you shipped? We have been discussing shipping a box of stuff for the kids in a spare suitcase so we dont have to haul it with us. kind of like snacks, bottled water, etc. Even thought about shipping some pepsi there as we are pepsi drinkers and not coke but not sure the pop (or sodas for some of you) would loose its umph and be flat with the shaking and stuff of the trip. Have any of you taken drinks on board with you? if you have what kind and how did you do it?

I just pre-ordered for the 5th edition last nite. Can't wait till it gets here. I have 3 notepads full of info for the cruise and what needs to be done yet and what needs a follow up call and when.

I am doing ok with my diet. not sure i lost anything this week but time will tell come wednsday weigh in. I do weigh myself everymorning and everynite before bed and i have been consistent so i just say ok and on with the next thing.

Come on May..Hurry up and get here Ok i am getting impatient now..

Repeat cruiser here too and no package. But then, I have never rec'd our CC club cards! I have our number, just no cards.

Weight loss has been easy this last week since I have put myself on the same diet as Ryan. Since he can't have any solids for 2-3 weeks, I just have yogurt or something with him. I am fitting into my pants looser now. Again, I don't weigh, I go by pant fit wise.

I have the newest passporter and it is much the same as the previous one I have, but they have added a few things and have shaded the things added, so I can just skip to those parts.

Just wanted to wish all the job hunters good luck and pixie dust! I know how hard it is to work for a place for a number of years and then have to look anew.

Come on May, I need a break!

Ok since my earlier post my dh called me at work to tell me we got a package from disney.. it has the upcoming dates for pre-signup for excurions and such last payment due by date, brouchres, and sail date

Lisa..how's Ryan doing now? getting better? Odd that he can't have solids for that long. i don't recall having to go on a liquid diet for that long. Sounds like we all are doing good on the diets. I am fitting comfortably in my size 10's but still can't get into my 8's yet and thats my ultimate goal.

 

[MickeyD]

Hey, Guess what? I just checked our mail and I got the package with the sign up dates and the little booklet that covers excursions etc.!

Tracey, Ryan is doing a little better (thank you for asking), he can at least gum macaroni and cheese! He is getting frustrated though because it is awkward to eat and it takes him forever to eat! Poor guy! I told him it is better to go through with this now, then during May when he wants to pork out on the ship! LOL Of course his favorite thing on the ship is the orange mango soup so he could use that now! I am not sure why the doctor said he has to be on non-solids for so long...I never had to when I had mine out, of course back then, they just climbed up there with pliers and pulled! LOL

I am comfortably in my size 10's now and if I can get into my 8's we are going to PARTY!!! I have one outfit that is a size 8 that I haven't been able to wear in about 3 years and I want to be able to wear it for semiformal night. It is a pants outfit that is suede and is very nice, but right now I can't even get the pants up over my large thighs!

woohoo..we be jamming now told dh when we start seeing Disney material from them you know we are on a major count down.

I have the same problem with my 8's although some i can get up just can't button up and others stop at the knees but its been probably about 3 years for me too on the size 8's. the skirts i want to wear for formal and semi formal nites is a size 8 as well. i can get them on but they are very snug around the waist.

Tracy...we took a small roller suitcase with a case of water on our last cruise. We stuffed our beach towels around it for safety. We didn't fly last time though. I don't think we'll do it this time. We drank all the water and had the empty case for souvenirs on the way home!

 

[BLTOH]

Ok i am going to attempt to put our family pic on here. i have three..one is of the kids , one of me and dh , and one of all of us..they include the 19 yr old as well who won't be with us. but jon (15yr old) is in the blue stripe shirt and Amber (4) is the only girl of course and the oldest one (19) is Kyle...then me and my dh,Keith

and thats what we was talking about doing. you check it in like a regular suitcase then? maybe i'll just give the kids their backpacks before we leave i don't know which route would be better. Probably would depend on shipping price i guess. hmm.. sounds like a research project coming on
