November 11, 2006 - MAGIC - Special Western "Double Dip" Cruise 11/11/06

[Vanvmom]

I called the Kaiser Advice Nurse after it happened. They told me to ice it and take Ibuprofen, and told me it would likely hurt more today than yesterday. Today it seems that the pain is mostly in my ring finger (as well as the fingers on either side of it), which makes sense as that's where the swelling was and bruise is. I'm still debating if I should go in or not. I don't want to be a baby and have an xray done if it's just a sprain or bruise. Not like they can do anything about those injuries anyway.

Janice, we'll see you at the Radisson pool. Never been there, of course (newbie for everything!), but the pictures do look inviting.

Yeah, six months!!!!!

Carolyn

CJLKIM

Fairygodmother
You cracked me up this morning
"The para sailing, MY DH, DB, Dsis and DSS all loved it. I have never done it as I am sure people on the ground would think it was an eclipse when I got up there. " This is exactly what would happen if I went up.
Hey everyone sorry I haven't been around much . First off I havenot been getting notification of post all of the time. I was shocked how many posting where here that I missed. Angelina is finally feeling better(Thank God) . She actually went to school a couple of days this week, so I have been trying to catch up on my chores. My kids finish school in a little over a week and Vito Jr in graduating from 5 th grade . We are having a big party at school for the 5th graders so I have been really busy helping. We are going to make the kids tie dyed shirts (there are 200 kids in his class) And we will be doing them at my house. (crazy) I am also putting together the goody bags for the grade. So i will be a little busy to say the least.
My freind thats traveling with us said something really funny. She said usually all winter they are waiting for the summer this year they are wishing the summer away for the cruise!!
Have a great day everyone.

Michelle, please tell Vito Jr I said 'Congratulations!" I'm sitting here right now looking at a snap shot of the two of you from our cruise last November. Lordy, didn't we have glorious weather on that trip? Here's some PD to make sure our next cruise is just as perfect.

Well, it's Friday and Payday....a wonderful combination. Have a great day everyone!

 

[Vanvmom]

Hi all- Yes, my hand is still pretty bruised and sore. You'd think it would teach me to pay more attention to how I am walking when I am in a hurry, but likely not. I guess I am a slow learner. I did go get it xrayed last night, and I may be clumsy but I have strong bones. Good combo for me. Wow, graceful and scattered.

Michelle, sounds like tons of work to me! My oldest has 6th grade promotion coming up in a few weeks, so I understand the chaos. We've only got 69 kids in the 6th grade at our school, but since it is the first year the school is open these kids have no real history with each other. Party planning is pretty difficult (the parents also have no history together). I admire your dedication! Have fun with all that tie-dye!

Just found out American Airlines changed our morning departing flight to a late morning flight (luckily we are going down day before) and our afternoon return flight to an evening return flight. I had a feeling this would happen so I check my reservations about once a week -- they did the same thing with our flights last year. The return flight actually will be nice because it will give us time to visit Dayona Beach (we lived there for 15 years). Happy friday to everyone!

 

[faireygod mother]

Pandamom, smart thinking to keep checking. I just love a planner.

Well it is almost the end of the work week here on the east coast. I thought I would just wish all you mothers Happy Mothers Day.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

 

[Hannosmom]

Just bumping us back up.

Hope you all are having a nice weekend! It's very nice here, mostly sunny and 68 degrees. The chickadees that have built a nest in the birdhouse on my front porch are busy busy feeding their new family and we have seven baby ducklings swimming up and down the canal behind our house. Love spring!

 

[shelwoj]

Just a little bump to get us moved up again.

The weather here is rain, rain and more rain. It has been raining for days and is supposed to rain for days more. We probably shouldn't have started planning to open the pool and then the weather would have been nice. Oh well, got a lot of work and reading done this week!

Everyone have a good week and all you other moms have a Happy Mothers Day.

Happy Mother's Day ....

A card for you all

Happy Mother's Day everyone! ibouncetoo is on the phone and we are booking our dinner at Boma! Yipee!

Then we'll decide about this "tonga toast" issue, since I've never had any, my vote for breakfast the next morning is to try some. I've got lots of things to try before I can even think about catching up with all you guys experiences!!!

Wendy, I too had a fall last week - what's up with that? My new shoes, the heel was really slippy and it just went underneath me, I fell to the left and just dropped and rolled to avoid hitting my bad left knee. One of the girls said it looked like a bad fall, but it wasn't - thank God. I did get a bruise on the side of my knee but I was lucky to avoid the knee cap! Thank God for past gymnastics!

KRIS - I too have some neck issues and have been going to the cracker! I just switched too - I wasn't getting results and now I find out why - my new xrays showed I have a curve going the WRONG way in my neck - I was soooo mad.

It's a long story, but the new guy has me doing exercises now in addition to seeing him 2X a week - and it's helping. Not only my neck but he's got me doing hip and leg exercises and my knee is 70% better already! YIPEE.. so I'm back in the pool - to get my exercise.

Michelle - you crazy woman! I'm so glad Angelina is doing better and congrats to Vito Jr - and I'm sure he loves his mommy so much for helping out with the graduation fun! YOU ROCK girlfriend!

Linda - I'm really sad that Gilmore girls is over, and I won't say anything till it's all clear to talk SO HURRY UP - cuz I've got some things to get off my chest!!!! Maybe you can come to Tuesday night chat? Or maybe we should make our own chat just for Gilmore girls this week. (in addition to the cruise). I heard that next year is the last year...have you heard that? Inquiring minds need to know.

Ok all - have a great Mother's day and we'll see y'all on Tuesday night!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day. The weather here in Florida was wonderful. We really got in the cruise spirt . The family took me out to Bahama Breeze and we were sitting on the deck I had a bahamarita listening to steal drum music. The best part was watching Angelina. She LOVES music and really loved listening to it . She always brings tears to my eyes when she starts bopping live Stevie Wonder. It kept her so entertained that I actually got to enjoy my meal .All I could imagine was sittiing on Castaway Cay enjoying a Konk Kooler Aah life is good!!
This will be a crazy week for me tie dying shirts and making goody bags, hopefully the other Moms who said they will help actually come through.
Peggy Jo
Please be more carefull Thank God you did not get too hurt!!And yes I am a crazy women and proud of it I always feel like Vito jr gets so slighted by me having to focus on caring for Angelina so much that I really felt it was so important that I really help out with his Graduation. He has been really sad that none of his extended family will be at Graduation so I have been tring to help ease his pain.
Have a great day everyone

It seems like American Airlines does the 'change flight' thing a lot. Nearly every time Big Sister visits from Chicago she has to play the 'flight watch' game. Well, considering Southwest and America West aren't even LISTING flights for November yet, I guess none of them can commit very far in advance anyway. That reminds me, I haven't checked out their web sites in a while....guess I'll go do that.

Dee, loved the sign! Hope you can make chat next week.....I'm actually going to show up on time tomorrow!!

 

[faireygod mother]

It figure, I do not show up and you do. I am gonna try and get me Dsis to log on and join in so we can both be there then.

 

[TiggersPal]

Good morning Disers! I'm at work, just got here a bit ago since I hit the chiro on my way in and then slipped over to LA Weight Loss to weigh in. All is well. Yipee!
I'm looking foward to some chatting tomorrow!

Michelle- sounds like you had an awesome day at Bahama Breeze - I dig that place too. We have one at a mall (outside) called Desert Ridge and it's the bomb! I can just see Angelina in my mind rocking out! Good for her. And I hear ya on coming through for Vito Jr. - your a good mom...

Dee - sorry we'll miss you tomorrow - but there is always next week.

ibouncetoo and I saw The Wild yesterday with DH and I really liked Madagascar better - but looking forward to THE HEDGE! I just love animation! Ok, everyone have a great Monday.

 

[CJLKIM]

Pat, changing my cruiser list again.......Jeffery and Rachel are out....long, bad story....Sheryl and Mike are still in. Matt is once again questionable but we'll know for sure in the next few days. I'll get you a complete list ASAP.

Sheryl's wedding plans for July have taken a negative downward spin. We have suggested to them that they just scrap it and reserve the onboard wedding for 11/16. I really would have like that one but didn't want to mess everyone's dinner plans up since it's semi-formal. Plus with it being $1000 cheaper it would fit better in their budget. I'll keep you posted on that!

NO CHAT FOR ME THIS WEEK! I leave tomorrow morning for two days up in Mackinaw City and at Mackinaw Island with 120 4th graders! Between kids and parents we fill 2 charter buses plus have parents driving separately. Leave at 8:15 a.m. tomorrow and will be home around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday. I'll post on how it goes when we hit the house....if I'm coherent enough!

 

[faireygod mother]

Well Kris you have a great time. Are you talking about doing a double wedding? Be careful with making all the name changes, Pat whipped me so bad the last time I still have nightmares Hope it all works out well for you guys in the end.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Big storm rolling into Phoenix, don't know if we'll be on chat tonight. Peg says we've had some power surges in our part of the valley. I'm heading off from work now........

 

[Vanvmom]

My memory is going at times... someone in our group is a TA correct? needalatte has a friend in FL who is considering cruising with us and needs some info tonight at chat.
