i hope chicken little is showing. in our house there are 4 designators for new movies "daddie movies" (sci-fi, adventure, those that mom cannot fathom getting thru-i survived "elmo in grouchland"...never again!) mommy movies (chick flicks and non annoying kid choices) family movies (those that everyone wants to see like wallace and grommit and corpse bride) and "wait for it to come to video"-chicken little is high on that list! i know they are currently showing sky high (which was a wait for video here), i'm hoping there will be some others the kids want to see since the kids club will take them (i don't go to see the non kid movies since they edit them on board).
we've had our cabin assignment since the day we booked, and i don't see much of a chance for upgrade given that the trip is pretty much sold out. never seen the walt suite but joined some fellow dis'rs in the roy suite on our last cruise. it was big, but i did'nt care for all the dark wood paneling in it. i also thought they could have devoted some more space to the second bedroom (very small and plain-made me think of "maids quarters"). second bedroom was also right near the door (and all the way across the cabin from the master bedroom)-traveling with younger kids i would prefer to have them in closer proximity to me.
well, the margarita fund took a hit tonight! our leather sofa in the great room (which we basicly live in-don't know why we have a living room except to put the tree up in and use for holiday dinners at the dineing table) took a gasp (it's been wheezing for a while) and died (rip 1999-2005). we still have the love seat and chair, but no way it will handle all 4 of us. so i set off to see what i could find.......IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK! everthing was either thin fabric(read as "wears out fast"), light fabric (even with no food or beverages allowed it discolors too fast) or more leather (i like leather but the seats wear out before the rest and trying to clean results in a risk of pulling the color out). so..........after many stores, and many "test sits" i found a sectional in a khaki-brown-steel gray blend. nice durable fabric and actual back support (

, i sat on so many that either had such deep seats that you had to use several throw pillows, or had no support at all). and (miracle of miracles) it is actualy IN STOCK-i can have it next week

. so the leather loveseat will move into the garage for the time being, the chair will relocate to the master bedroom (always wanted a chair in their to curl up in with a book) and the old sofa will go to the dump (but not before i cut all of the leather off of the back to save in the event the chair seat splits-i think there will be enuf that i can cover an old foot rest with as well).
i truly believe autos, major appliances and the like can smell incoming money (or in this case outgoing recreational money) and purposly break!
