[michelle9343]

Hello all
You guys have been nice a chatty!!I was so busy with Vito jr's graduation I haven't been on since last Thursday. Everything went perfect for the grad. We tie dyed the 200 shirts made 200 goody bags ( me and 1 other mom) it was a lot of work but so worth it. I am really sappy and graduation was really emotional for me. Vito is my baby boy and I can not handle that he is done with elementery school.He was awarded saftey patrol of the year which made my rule enforcing boy very happy . The party got a little wild. We had a DJ in the lunch room and a small group of girls felt they needed to to act like they were on MTV (doing a little bump and grind if ya know what I mean) These kids are between 10 and 12 it was crazy.spend the partyu pulling them off each other. Other then that the party was perfect.
I also switched my status at Disney to seasonal so I can only work 1 day a week, so I wont be so dead on the weekends any more.
Can't wait to be cruisin with ya all.

You guys talked with Dave in the chat last night. I was watching the country music awards and then went to bed! So, are you still shaking your heads about his groaner jokes? He enjoyed talking with you guys too, until the shoe talk started!

Still doing this about the jokes. However I did do some of this too! We thought for a moment we had him convienced that crocs are MEN's shoes too, but it may have been the coordinating nail polish discussion that threw him over the edge

Michelle glad to hear the graduation party was a success (and kids getting in trouble for the way they were dancing proves it was)! Also give my congrats to Vito Jr for his saftey patrol award.

Woody73, yes Pub Night is the Cast Member show. I can't wait to see it..sounds like you have already.

 

[faireygod mother]

Well, good morning. I thought I would do my part to help make the thread goal.

Sorry I missed the shoe talk and jokes. I am going to try and taper down the number of shoes I take this year. Well maybe I will. I like to dress up for dinner and usually bring a pair of shoes for each night and then different ones for during the day. When you have a DIL that is the manager of Cole Haan it is had to resist some of their cute shoes/mules and sandals.

Well I need to get some work done. I will check back in later.

Has anyone noticed that we have not heard from several people in a while, a long while. Are we the only ones excited about this cruise? or Are we the only obsessive compulsive planners on this cruise? You know what they say, therapist heal thy self. I am working on it, but as you can see I have not made a whole lot of progress.

You mean they're not men's shoes too?! But I've already boiled them to form fit them to my big 'ol man feet!

It was great chatting with you all.

 

[TiggersPal]

Dis is busy this a.m. tried three time to reply and got a "server busy" reply! Sorry I missed chat last night - I hit the gym right after work and by the time I stopped to pick up some chicken and eat it was 8:00 p.m.!!!! I just love this new water aerobics class tues/thur at 6:00 p.m. Sounds like I missed a great time! Hopefully I'll re-organize for next week and be there! I can't wait to chat with you guys - we are going to have so much fun on this Cruise!

Michelle- glad to hear vito junior's grad day went great!!!!

Ok, I better get back to work - I knew there were a couple other things I wanted to say - but arrrghh we are busy!

 

[Vanvmom]

Dave- Just make sure after you boil them, to wash them in the dishwasher!

Well, off to go help set up the new trampoline for the boys. About time they stopped bouncing off the walls and bounced off something more appropriate!

 

[TiggersPal]

Wendy - in speaking with my sister the color you need to look for OPI is Gargantuan Green! It's one of there new "bright" lines! I can't wait to wear my crocs with fuschia toes!

 

[faireygod mother]

Well I am doing my part to reach the goal. I am on another thread and the "crocs" are the hot topic there as well. I guess because I see them everyday I did not realize how great they are to some people.

When are we gonna finish the drink list, decide on arm bands and a swap?

Anyone on the east cost want to do a mini Dis meet?

Well off to bed for this sleepy head.

 

[woody73]

. . . Woody73, yes Pub Night is the Cast Member show. I can't wait to see it..sounds like you have already.

Jackie: yes, we saw it on the Panama Canal repositioning cruise. At that time it was in the Walt Disney theatre. Try to catch it if you can.

Happy dance for paying off our cruise! It was paid off once and then we changed everything and added oldest son to the mix! So happy this is done. Now to start paying for everything else!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Happy dance for paying off our cruise!

Congratulations! I'm planing on sending off a big chunk of change in June (after current Visa balance is paid), the balance in July, and a stateroom credit 'payment' in September. What happended to August, you ask? Well, I think a trip to southern California will be required right about then!

If I computed correctly Aug 13th is the 90 day mark for CC members to pay up, right? So, is it midnight the night of the 8/12-13 that I can make my reservations? Just want to be sure I don't miss it by a day...which probably woudn't be the end of the world....I just want to play that game with all the other CC DISers on the trip! Convenient it's on a weekend so we don't have to stay up late on a 'school' night

OK, off to weigh myself and see how this diet thing is going. Have a good day everyone!

Yeah!!!! Feels good, doesn't it?

[TiggersPal]

I can't wait till the cruise is paid for. This weekend trip (taking my DH to Verde Train Ride) set me back a bit, but I'll get back in the swing here real soon!

I'm just doing my part and checking in, have a dentist appointment this afternoon and I'm very nervous about it. I have some major work to be done and it's a new dentist... say a little prayer for me will y'all?

The Safety dept just said that I'm welcome to some pizza - but I'm going to pass. Maybe after the dentist...no Ouch - that won't work. Just as well, it's not on the "plan".

Ok, as for the bracelets (Jackie and I are doing a little research as to cost and checking out a competitor) so that's "in progress".

I haven't started compiling the drink list as of yet, but it's on my task list. I was kinda hoping that some of the folk who are on the cruise now and in the near future would help us out with that. Maybe Dave & Monica when they return from their current trip. So I will keep you posted on that. I think first thing we should do is find out how many people want a copy of it...

Could you all start PM'ing me if you'd like one? That way I can get the equipment ordered (laminate sheets). Ok?

I'll be putting them on DIS green paper if you guys think that's good!

I love my new crocs - that's for sure.

Ok, I think I hit all the topics for now!

 

[Hannosmom]

Dee, maybe we can get together in July or August. Call me next week (we are going to PA for my DGD's 6th birthday this weekend) My number is on the CJ database.

Ok, I went and ordered some crocs. I hope they are comfy cause they are U.G.L.Y. The flip-flops aren't too bad, but couldn't get those in lime green. Sarah will be wearing the lime green regular crocs, cause they had them in kid sizes. I even ordered some for my DH, which should be very amusing when he see's them. He is a Texas boy, so he may have to down a few beers before he's willing to try them on and lots more beers to wear them in public.

Congrats to the Wojo family! It always feels so good to pay for the cruise, because then you know you are REALLY going.

Peg, missed you in chat!

When we had this at Palo, the server told us it is called "Chopino," and is named after the composer Frederic Chopin.

Hey All!

Okay, Jackie found me over on another thread for cruise weddings...man, she must be learning from Pat....

She responded to a posting by another DISer which pointed out that evidently DCL holds everyone back on the ship until after the scheduled wedding party has disembarked....

Well I have assured her that I will do everything I can to see that we are up bright and early on Friday and ummmm....I've selected Pat to keep Jeff in line (and on time) since we all know that she can do it! Don't worry...I want my fun in the sun too....I won't oversleep or anything.....

 

[faireygod mother]

Kris, just put us on the wedding list and we can get off with you and start out beach time early.

Actually , I had never heard that. No matter the island is not going anywhere.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Actually, I'll probably sleep in that morning, unless I have to re-schedule parasailing or something. I want to be able to stay up late that last night....and suck every possible moment out ot playing on the Magic!
