New Year's Eve 2008 12/27/08 SEE POST#1 FOR LIST

I prefer the disney headbands to the classic hat...

My hair is too "big" to be able to wear that style. I like the Christmas hats, they are totally adorable...unfortunately, they are too hot to wear...so I've resorted to headbands. I have one set of fuzzy mickey ears and one set of fuzzy tigger ears now~

Here is a pic of my Tigger Christmas Hat...

yers, that's hubby, and me in WDW-Christmas 04

Hey Nan! You busted me!

HI ALL!

For those of you who don't know me, I am Dede aka "Minniegrl", and Grim is my DH. I have wanted to get on here and read and/or post, but I find it hard to find the time while taking care of Piper. She is a really good, happy baby, but she's a total Momma's girl and is stuck to me like glue most of the day. Especially with Grim working from home now, I try to keep her out of his office most of the day. He's giving me a break so I can post right now.

Tig, Nan, Aisling, I think of you guys a lot, even though I don't take the time to post. I'll start posting more the closer it gets to cruise time. Hey, I'm a whole summer earlier than I was for the last cruise!

Hi to all the shipmates that I don't know yet!

Bye for now!
Dede

Dede:

Enjoy this time with her. I'm sure people tell you that it goes so fast and it does. I can't even remember the times when I held Molly like a baby. My baby is almost 10, where did the time go???

We know you are out there and reading and thinking of us. Time will come when we get to chat again.

That work at home gig is a good one as long as there is another full time person who is watching the baby. I assume that when school starts Piper is back with Grandma again?

Back to the grind for me...that vacation got me a bit outta whack and my desk is offically a mess

LYMI,

N

[tiggerwannabe]

Cool! Thanks Birkner!

Nan, she's not THAT old yet!

Enjoy the ages they are, you are only halfway there~

there is so much joy they have yet to give you...

Dede, Piper too...enjoy the cuddling and the hanging on-

these days are long and yet so short~

I'll start posting more the closer it gets to cruise time. Hey, I'm a whole summer earlier than I was for the last cruise!

Dede, so good to see you posting!

I was looking at the old NYE Navigator, and it says the balloon drop is in the atrium with celebrations throughout the ship. The atrium is going to be so crowded, so my plan is to be there for the balloon drop, and then rush off to a good party somewhere, like in Rockin Bar D, or maybe they'll have something in the Promenade Lounge. I'm looking for good music, adult company, and a couple of drinks.

Then I was thinking they'll probably have the Times Square ball drop on the Dumbotron, and I might want to be up on deck for that. But I guess that depends on where we'll be on NYE, as far as a time difference. If New York has NYE first, I can catch the ball drop on the Dumbotron, and then if NYE is an hour later where we are, I can get to the atrium balloon drop.

Chad just left to see Harry Potter. I can't wait to find out who dies!

OMG it's so exciting just thinking about it! I can imagine Mickey on the staircase in the atrium leading the countdown, and then all the balloons dropping. I've never been to a big NYE party, so this will be amazing!

Grim, spill! I want to surprise Chad that I know before he tells me!

 

[Aisling]

Ok, Chad is home from the movies, and has informed me that the movie that came out today is from the 5th (?) book, and not the book that has the death of a main character or 2. That's book 7, which hasn't come out yet. In this movie, someone dies, but not one of the kids.

If you know which one of the kids dies, please oh please PM me and let me know. I won't tell a soul. Louise's sister knows, working for a publishing company, but she won't tell.

DH and I have never been to a big NYE party either. Neither has the other couple that's going with us (Colleen & Drew). This is going to be so much fun.

Hi Debbie!! Missed you!


Jade, what a relief for you that soon you'll have RTs birth certificate.


I'm half thinking of cutting my hair today, shoulder length. It's pretty long, and I like that all I have to do is dry it straight and go. I'm pretty carefree about my hair, have never liked to deal with styling it every morning. But I'm starting to feel like I may be too old for long hair. I know I don't look like a gramma yet, but I'm not a young girl anymore. I've always been lucky with having nice healthy full hair, and a couple of times, my salon guy, who is Chinese and speaks little English, said "I no cut, I no cut!" when I asked him to chop it off. But this evening I may say "You cut!" We'll see.
I was watching an old 60s movie with Debbie Reynolds, and she looked like a darling with her shoulder-length bouncy hair. I know I'm no Debbie Reynolds , but it's an inspiration! We shall see.
