Goodnight all

 

[dizney-cruiser]

I have been out of commision since last Wed - I can't belive how chatty you have all been! I guess that means we are close to cruise time!

all excited to get packing and let's GET TO THE BOAT!!!!

On my last cruise we were told anytime we hear some call the "ship" a "boat" that person owed us a drink . . .

Congrats on saving the money we do the same thing, except we spend no change. Now you have me excited about how much maybe in there.

We do this as well. We have been saving all change since we got back from Vegas in 7/2005 - This Saturday is marked as the big day that we cash in . . .

i'm home rode tower of terror it was scary.

I rode this ride one time and now consider myself done! I was sooooo scared! There were two young boys in front of me and I told them they better hold on - of course they ignored me - but I think I held on tight enough for all three of us!

Received call from Kim at AAA today....my docs are on their way....

Kim called me yesterday too - I just hope they get here in time - in the event that they don't (last time she sent me mail it took over two weeks) what do the luggage tags have to have on them?

Why oh why have my ship docs not come
why oh why should this be?

Why oh why have my ship docs not come
Can someone from Disney tell me?


Ok, just a bad little song for my weary state of mind...

Cute it goes with a childhood song about, Oh Where, oh where can my little dog be.

 

[WendyJersey]

Okay, I could not sleep so here I am. I need to take some night time medicine s I can get rid of this cold.

Here is a mini challenge. Lets see if we can get to 4900 before chat tonight.

Yes, some where in the last day or two we have contracted sore throats. I couldn't believe it. Never get sick that often why now

 

[WendyJersey]

Good Morning All~~~~~~
Hope you had a great evening. Tried to do nothing last night. Ha! Ha! Have that run down feeling. Throat started acting up Sunday, but when I think about it I coughed a few times last Thurs and Friday, but that was all. Now I have a soar throat and my voice is alittle weak, but I feel better right now. You know as the day goes on you get that runned down feeling. Hopefully all will get better.
Welcome back everyone.
Sarah sounds as if you had a great time. I cannot go on rides. I can barely watch them as they make me sick. But it sounds as if everyone has a good ride on them.
Boy Dee two more people to the group? That's amazing.
Went through the Oct Nav had lots of info and yes the drinks sounded amazing. Guess we'll have to try each drink of the day.
Dee going to check my email to see if I have the Nov Nav yet. Sounds like everyone enjoyed the job that was done by your DS and yourself.
Well have to get going time to drag myself to work. So much to do so little time left and now I'm sick. What is up with this picture?
See ya a chat tonight!! Happy Halloween everyone

My DS8 woke up this morning with stomach pains and has been in the bathroom 3 x already! He's so upset that he's not going to school today since we spent about 1 1/2 hours last night making Monster Hands (popcorn filled plastic gloves with spider rings and pencils). I promised that I would take them to school and give them to his teacher. I hope he's feeling better to go t or t tonight, he's been so excited about it for a week.

My mom hasn't gotten her docs yet and she's in PA. I got ours on Friday.

Dee...the navigator is wonderful! what a great job you did! Thank you!!!
Not many of us on 7 though........

I need to work on our door signs today and get them done....well at least started.

I'll let you know how that works out for me - but I'm not allowed any MORE stress - I NEED A VACATION!

Unfortunately I'm the one who posted the 4500 post and I'm explaining how I'm going to hold off so he would get it. It was strange how it happened. I just didn't realize how close we were to that post number. Yes we have all been wondering where he has been. He is such a funny person.

Yes, Jack is funny - especially for the first 10 minutes! Racing you to 5,000 Jack!

Thanks for the welcome Wendy. Our group grew and grew as time went on. I was actually one of the last to sign up. Most of the families are from our town and then one of our friends has three families from out of town coming. Actually, I think it was her who started this whole thing!

So I wake up today with a nasty head cold. I thought it was allergies but now I am convinced it is a cold/sinus infection. Waiting until 9 to call the doctor and get on some drugs. Hubby warned me that the ship is sailing with or without me! Nice, huh. Yeah, he's a keeper!

I am suppose to receive my docs today - can't wait. Went to AAA and bought our park hoppers yesterday and picked up some flourescent green luggage tags to spot our luggage. I usually tie ribbons to spot ours but I thought these would be better until hubby said "Yeah, I am sure no one else thought of that who walked into the AAA office. He is such a kill joy! Today I am going to rest and just narrow down what there is left to do. Hubby and I were talking last night and he seems to think we can just pack a garment bag, one large suitcase and a small carry-on for the 3 of us. It's nice to dream.

127 posts to go Jack!!!

 

[momsrule27]

Get your mind out of the gutter!

Who, me? How could you say that Jack. Oh, wait, that's right, you know me! These poor unsuspecting people have no idea what they are in store for with our group.

126 posts to go Jack!!!

Char, if you post 5000 I'm going to make Mike pay for all my booze on the cruise!

How's your son feeling? Is he going out tonight? We have a few kids coming over by us to trick or treat.

Happy Haloween Double Dippers!

Those of you staying home and passing out candy--count how many Pirates you get at your door. It will be fun to see who gets the most

I'm going to TiggersPal's house to help hand out candy (never get more than 5 trick or treaters at my place). I'm assuming we'll still be in chat (since the time change it's not till 8PM for us now). HEY PEG....are you cooking me dinner?

mom2of2, is that you at the other end of deck 7? I thought Peg and I were all alone at the back of the boat. I figure maybe we'll see some folks when they come check out the secret verandah. Who am I kidding, we'll hardly ever be in our stateroom except for morning coffee/tea and nighttime wine/hot chocolate.

Everybody thinking about what to bring to the SINGLE DIGIT DANCE PARTY? I'm leaning towards a well know Boma dessert, fried chicken catered by a rustic WDW eatery and, well, after my conversation with Mick MAYBE the Stones as entertainment. Still trying to narrow down who will be one of the celebrity bartenders

Only seven days left at work for me

Morning everyone and Happy Halloween!!!

Hugs to everyone not feeling well -- hope you recover quickly.

Travel agent called last night that docs are in. (She apparently called last week also to let us know they'd be in this week but dh forgot to tell me.)

Now, I'm off to check my email for the navigator!!!!

Yeah, good luck with that Jack!

Anthony's feeling better. He was going back and forth whether he was going out tonight. I think he is but I am not sure with who or when. He was going to talk to some friends at school.

I should be in the shower but here I sit catching up on posts!

DIZCruiser - I knew better than to use the "boat" term - so funny you caught it. My brother was in the NAVY and I learned at a very young age not to do it... it was kinda my little test to see who actually pays attention (I have issues...I know). SO YOU WILL GET THAT DRINK and congrats for playing!

Jackie - I'm bringing Sheppards Pie to the SINGLE DIGIT dance! Rachel Ray had it on her program yesterday (I recorded) and it looked delicious!!!! Maybe I should make tonight? I will substitute the lamb for beef of course (no lammies eaten here!!!!) How does that sound? I've got all my new cooking tools to use.

MOMof2 - make sure you stop by our stateroom - I guess it's just us on deck 7!

Pandamom - I was going to reply something but I've forgotten... I need to make notes and then post I guess.

Jack - keeping an eye open on 5000 I hope!

Dee - good challenge - I won't be able to help much as I have a newsletter to get out in the next week. But maybe I'll pop on before lunch time!

Have a great HALLOWEEN everyone - OH AND WELL WISHES to those who aren't feeling well - PLEASE GET BETTER BEFORE THE CRUISE - you don't want to infect us - do you???? (OK all kidding aside - feel better!)

 

[tggrdisney]

Dee, the navigator is amazing! Thank you...

I should get my docs tomorrow....I really want to do the doc dance....
