MICKEY'S PARTY PIRATES! September 7th 2008 - Disney Wonder

[tinkerbell34]

I appreciate that. I really do. Thank you. While I'm trying not to pass out going up the stairs, I"ll be envying you in the swimming pool.

 

[tinkerbell34]

I'm having trouble with my home computer again, so I wanted to go ahead and tell eveyone Happy Easter!

 

[tinkerbell34]

I fixed my puter AND got my new passporter in the mail yesterday. I'm reading reading reading. There is alot of great information in this book!

 

[pjstevens]

I ordered my passporter from Amazon (had a gift certificate) and it still hasnt' come. Got an email last night saying they weren't sure when they would get it and then another today saying it will be shipped and I should have it by the end of MARCH!!!! Hello that is a week away! Amazon use to be so good, you'd get the book in the mail they day it came out. I don't get it. I want it NOW!!!!

Ok, enough ranting.

For those cheering for us, I did go work out today (Saturday), skipped yesterday since the Y was closed and I hurt so bad. Today though, feeling better.

Only 168 days (I think) til cruise!!!

 

[tinkerbell34]

Keep it going. Eventually after you exercise you'll start wondering why it doesn't hurt anymore. hehe

We haven't been able to go for our bike ride today as it has been raining all day. I told the boys if they didn't pick up their toys that the Easter Bunny was going to hop by our house because the Easter Bunny doesn't like dirty houses. I've never seen the house look so neat. My oldest even vacumed!

That's Funny, Tink.

I told Patricia we could run up and down our steps for fifteen minutes on Friday, but I didn't do it. Although, I did a heck of a lot of walking on Friday and that included trying to run up the steps to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. If you've never been to Philadelphia, there's no sense in me telling you where we walked but everyone probably knows the famous scene in Rocky with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Even now, thirty two years later, you see people doing the Rocky pose at the top of the steps. We were there part of the time. I didn't make it all the way up the steps running.

Happy Easter, Everyone! Gotta go get ready for the Easter Chicken!

Hey you walked around Philly and those blocks are not small like some city blocks and those steps at the Art Museum are a killer. Glad you got to do those.

Enjoy Easter everyone and counting down!!!!

We just had Easter dinner and I now have a food baby. I am trying to talk myself into a bike ride but my evil half is winning the conversation. : Our Easter was grand. I hope everyone else is having a wonderful Easter! 3 more holidays until our cruise!

 

[yazee1]

A food baby! That's a riot! I'm glad to hear you had a "grand" Easter. Did you eat the chocolate bunny's ears off?

I really did not want to get up for church this morning because I stayed up too late last night playing around online and then remembered right before I went to bed that I didn't stuff the Easter eggs for the kids' egg hunt. Dh was already asleep or I would have asked him to help me. Amazingly, I got up before everyone and made sure we, minus dh, made it to church on time. Dh was last in the shower, so he wasn't ready, BUT, that was perfect because that gave him a reason to be at home while we were gone. He hid the eggs while we were at Sunday School. He was supposed to meet us for the service.

He actually never made it to church which was a shame because our Sunday School class on heresy finally got interesting, and instead of the usual length sermon, the pastor only spoke briefly after the choir sang the Easter Messiah beautifully. Dh used his time wisely though. He replaced all the worn out hinges on our kitchen cabinet doors.

Patricia, we went for a short hike before dinner. Two miles each way. There were a lot of people on the trails today. I think they were walking off their "food babies".

It has a lot of great info! I got mine Friday evening and had it read by Saturday. I have a hard time concentrating for that long normally. By Sunday, I had it checked marked and highlighted and passed on to my mom to read. Now I keep pestering her if she has read it yet. My mom is contantly laughing at my excitement. Christopher asked me what I was doing when I was highlighting everything. I told him I was highlighting the points of interest for the cruise I planned to take when he was 12. : I'm so glad I thought up that excuse awhile back; otherwise I would have blown it 10times over by now!
165 more days? I'm counting down by major holidays. 3 sounds SO much more inviting that 165.

I Passporter . Before our first cruise, I just about slept with it under my pillow. Seriously. I'd read it every night before I went to bed, and several times I fell asleep before closing the book and putting it on the night stand. So, sometimes it was under the pillow or on the pillow, or next to the pillow... I brought it with me on the ship, too. I had it in my hand while we were waiting in the line at the port before boarding (this was before numbered groups) and other people in line would ask me to look things up like what do these letters mean on my card?

I wonder if the new Passporter has different pictures from the last one. Does anyone know? I figure it has updated information.

I havent had a passporter before this one but it seems to me it is all new. I thought all the pictures were from 2007.

I'm waiting for this book cd to finish ripping so I can listen to it in the car (no cd player). Thought I'd check in and see if we made it off page 17. It's hard to type because my hands are SO cold. It's warmer outside than it is my house. I can't believe I let the heating oil run out. Thank Goodness it's spring!

oh my goodness, so sorry you are freezing. we are supposed to get close to 60 today, but being stuck inside, i wouldn't know that (as usual work interefers with disney life, lol). hope you get warmed up soon.

 

[tinkerbell34]

I'm sorry your cold too. It was in the 40's here this morning (sappy heart me had to leave the garage door slightly open to make sure the stray cat had a warm place to sleep) but now it is right back up into the 80's. Soppose to be high of 85 this weekend. I am dreading summer. I like the high in the 70's and low in 50's. Anything below or above that is uncomfortable for me. Hey, look at that, who know I could write a paragraph about weather!

I read a post about rolling seas. Is anyone afraid of being seasick? I lived on a boat for 2 years when I was very young and have been boating many many MANY times and I have only gotten sea sick once (hitting waves in Alaska). I really dont think I have anything to worry about but I worry ALOt about my mom and her boyfriend. I still can't understand how my mom gets sea sick after living on a boat but she does. The funny thing about her is that sea sickness medication actually makes her even more sick. I'm not sure what we will do if she gets sea sick. :. Her boyfriend takes dramamine and seems to be ok. I don't think the boys will get sea sick....at least I hope not.

I get 'car sick' sometimes, but not too bad. We cruised once and had no problem, so not anticipating any problems, but a little bit of me always worries about these things.

 

[yazee1]

None of us have been sea sick (on any kind of vessel) or car sick. That's not to say it couldn't happen in the future, so here's hoping it doesn't.

Has your mom tried other remedies? I wonder if sea sickness is like other conditions where there's more than one cause. If that's the case, maybe what she's using is missing the target completely. I wonder this because if the sea sickness is caused by the messages (or mismessages) to the brain from the eyes, inner ear, and tissues of our body that creates a few variables in the equation for relief. Maybe, one person's sea sickness is caused by a different imbalance than another person's. I don't know.
