My dh, my sis and my kiddos think I won't be liking my new high heels on the cruise.

I told them I NEED them for height in the pix. I plan on taking them off once I am seated. DH was to hear that ladies take their shoes off during dinner.

Please tell me I am NOT the only one who does that ... especially where the table clothes almost go to the floor.

I had a major misquote there. I told the kiddos that I would be wearing them for a very special dinner w/ their daddy.

I am NOW bound & determined that I will WALK & NOT FALL in those shoes. They are "shiny & black & very cute, Mommy".

Off to get Grammy & I ready for church.

Then we have to return the magnetic paper that won't work. Here's hoping they allow me to return them w/ no problems.

In 2 weeks I will be waking up on the first morning of our cruise!!! Woo hoo!!!

We played Toms River North, they have been killing us for years. The refs were HORRIBLE last night for V. So many calls on us that were not legit and things not called for legit (pass interference etc.). It's a divisional rivalry dating back 25yrs. Our record is still pretty good with 4-1 after last night and Freshman 4-2, so guess can't complain, but V was undeafeted.
DS14 misses his last 3 games of season ( Howell, Marlboro & Barnegat) which is bummer, but he's B-team so he doesn't play that much. I'm hoping now that he has 1st yr. under belt, he'll play more next year.

Sorry about the game, but........................... Go Mariners! Anchors Aweigh!!

Ok, sorry about that, little burst of TRN pride

Started throwing things into the suitcases. I am trying to pack one for everyone that is JUST for cruise stuff, so it doesn't need to be opened at all at WDW. Could just be a dream, but I am trying!

DH is having alot of gallbladder problems right now. He needs to have it out, but can't swing it before we leave! I am hoping he doesn't have any attacks on the ship! We may cancel our Palo Ressie, though, since I think they use a LARGE amount of garlic and that seems to set him off...and, it may end up being on an Animator night (based on the new dining rotations) and we don't want to miss that!

Went to Super WalMart and got these things called "Dropps" for the laundry. They are for HE washers, which I hear is what they have put on the Magic now. Can't use regular detergent in those washers. So, if anyone has a WalMart, I'd stop by and get some (if you planned on doing laundry!) Also got a bunch of travel size stuff, including empty spray bottles and containers for shampoo. All "legal" for the plane. If we check our luggage through, we won't be able to use the stuff in the larger bottles on our last night, and we won't be able to bring them off the ship and onto the plane if they aren't under the 3oz limit! Don't want to waste it by having to throw it out either! Last time we just stuffed the larger bottles into the checked luggage once we picked it up from the holding area and before we checked into the airline desk. It will all work out, I guess!

Well, gotta go, have to do! Its going to be a busy week, class field trip to the Dairy Farm, dance classes, school Fall Festival and church's Slime Time next Saturday! Losing time I need to pack! UGH!!!

Bring on the vacation!

TRN, graduate in 1989 but shhhh, don't tell, my DD thinks I am only 20 and this Nov will be my 21st birthday!

Can't throw me overboard, I can't be held responsible for my Mariner "ancestors!" Seriously though, sorry that your son was bummed by the game. Sucks when the calls are what makes/breaks the game!

Apparently die hard fans of florida tours got stood up and have had problems. I know they are having computer problems, but apparently the sub contracter they are using isn't all that reliable. My friend said when she called they said it may be subcontracted out. I am getting very nervous about this, since we've had this booked for 8 months.....I've heard all the competitors cost at least $100 more....may be cheaper to take the disney transport...at least we know we'll get there.

 

[wuv tigger]

Dh has rented a car for us.

One way from MCO. Then one way at the Port. Our departure time has changed. I am hoping to see my family in FL before we head north to MCO on Nov. 8th.

Go SKINS!

DW put the finishing touches on our fish extender! We can't wait to hang it up on the Magic!

 

[mindelmouse]

out and we contacted them directly....they assured us they would be there they're called payless transportation and claim they've been in business for over 17 years and work with continental airline. My friend got it off her credit card charge....they got back to her with 1/2 an hour of her contacting them

We were contracted out too, and double checked ours...now lets hope it is not a sub that is answering the phone in the same building !!!

O.K.. I wanted to relay some information I just got from another Limo company about Fl Tours. Apparently they have gone out of business and are solely subcontracting all their reservations out. He stated that this has created a major headache down in the Disney area. I have rebooked our reservations within last 15min with a company called LimoCar. Website is as follows: www.LimoCarorlando.com His name is Andy and he was WONDERFUL in getting me a very cool car. We have a stretch Dodge Charger !!! Since I have an SRT8 at home I thought this was soooooo awesome !!!
Tell them the Clappers referred you as I told him that alot of us on here were getting screwed by Fl Tours.

Two of the magnetic items I purchased at AC Moore I had to return.

They apologized that I had 2 defective items. Refunded both. Gave me the discount for the replacements I purchased.

Now I am trying to do some of the magnets while the kiddos are out biking w/ dh.

Not sure IF I am fast enough though.

The company we have now seems to be on top of the issues. They told us to contact them directly...we would have never know who the subcontracter was if we didn't see the name on the charge card. payless has a website and seems to be legit....I'll keep researching it.

 

[wuv tigger]

I am so glad I had NO problems at AC Moore.

I will wait until the kiddos are at school before I try to print the magnets.

Got all the laundry done today...
Dining room table looks like a heap of EVERYTHING
Suitcases in DR waiting to get filled
Has anyone else noticed that pulling suitcases out of attic makes kids hyper as if the Holiday Lights were turned on? Also, the animals are acting weird...Cats are depressed but dogs are bouncing ( they are going to the Doggy Country Club w/pool)...think they know something is up?
