November 19, 2005 Thanksgiving Magic Cruise

[fletch88]

Everyone have a safe trip! I'm still here until Saturday morning, so I'll try to help keep the posting going. Maybe I'll make it to 50 posts!

Yo, Sherri (speaking w/ Rocky Balboa accent)!


Mrs. TCD really does like Oprah and Martha. Mrs. TCD really does not like to hear about misbehavior by TCD. I know it is hard to take me seriously, but I am being serious. If I was home, I would go ahead and take some photos of our house. Mrs. TCD is a serious decorator. She even has the oldest DD watching Oprah. It was just the other night that oldest DD is telling Mrs. TCD what was on Oprah that day. Something about 90% of women wearing the wrong bra size. You know TCD is the only male in the house, and he doesn't like hearing this kind of talk, that's how I remember it.

Mrs. TCD subscribes to the Oprah magazine, and she used to subscribe to Martha's magazine. These are always in our home library, and sometimes I even look at the Oprah mag. That Dr. Phil is really something. I also always read the last page where Oprah says what she knows for sure. Old Oprah is a little full of herself, isn't she.

Mrs. TCD took the TCD girls to Chicago two summers ago. They went to the American Girl Place, Navy Pier, some museum, but the highlight of their trip was when they saw Oprah driving around in her Mercedes! She allegedly gave them a thumbs up. Mrs. TCD had her photo taken next to Oprah's car.

Mrs. TCD actually has a bicycle basket that Mr. TCD thoughtfully purchased for her from Martha's catalog, back when Martha had a catalog. Mrs. TCD has a t-shirt that says "What Would Martha Do?"

Mrs. TCD really does like Oprah. Mrs. TCD really likes Martha. She really does not like it when people tell her that they have or had a pet named Molly; and for some reason, that happens a lot. I am just trying to be helpful here. Trust me.

I love Oprah too...and yes, sometimes I think she is a little full of herself, but hey, she is rich and powerful, so i guess who wouldn't be?!?!?!?! If it weren't for the miracle of TIVO I'd never get to watch, but thanks to modern technology I can watch Oprah AND Dr. Phil whenvere I want (usually a marathon on the weekends).

Safe trip! See you there! Hmmm... just comparing loads... do you have carryons in addition to those 6 bags? or do those bags include the carryon count???????????

Sherri

we have a large duffle with snorkel gear, etc, one garment bag and a suitcase for each of us (4) so six bags total plus backpacks for kids, one carry on and my large beach bag/purse. I'm sure I've over packed, but oh well

Well....count me in...I had a dog(when I was living at home) named Molly. She was a sheepland dog. Half sheep & half something else? ...what do I know...I was a little kid then. I think the other half was golden retriever...she had more of that than the sheep. She barked more than the Baaabaaa sound.

Julia

does it count that my neighbor has a black dog named Mollie??? She has bad hips and is blind in one eye, but really sweet.

Hey everyone who's left! I honestly tried to start packing today, but I was out running around most of the morning and into the afternoon. Now my daughter is home from school, so I obviously can't pack while she's awake. I will get started around midnight though! Anyone else still not packed, or am I the only procrastinator?

I'm mostly packed except for DH stuff, but he can do that in about 5 minutes tomorrow. I'd be going crazy if I were you but it will be worth it when you see her face tomorrow. Good luck!!!!!!!

I guess I'm talking to myself here...it's ok, I'm used to it

So we had our first "real" snow today even though it's mostly gone now. I thought it was nice while it lasted, especially since we'll be basking int he warm sun for the next week

Tomorrow I have last minute stuff to get done and Thanksgiving Feast at DD preschool. Oh boy! So I probably won't get to check in much between now and then. Safe trip to everyone and I'll see you soon

Just 2 more hours and I will be outa here. As luck would have it, we ate lunch at a restaurant that did not sell alcohol. As soon as I left the place Lamp calls on my cell, and I get to hear him popping a top, and chugging. It is a cruel world you live in, Ron. But paybacks will be fun.

I know he called here too.I was like I can use one right about now too.We are do excited!

I'm here too...trying to get the kids to get their stuff together, fed, bathed, etc. I've been sleeping fine the past two nights and after a glass or two of wine tonight hopefully will sleep well again.

I thought I was all ready and now the panic sets in...no sun block, did not have ds sandals, no hair products or moisturizer! The carry on stuff is totally out of control. I feel like I have enough camera equipment for a CNN documentary! Not to mention the 50 pound box of wine. I need a husband and more kids to haul stuff. NO on second thought... Should have hired a nanny or pack mule to come along. This is nuts!!!

Thanx Dena! I still have clothes to wash too! LOL! I am the biggest procrastinator. Usually, I stay up packing the night before I leave for a trip, so that I can sleep on the plane. Well since tomorrow is Friday, my daughter will be staying up late as well, and I can't go thru my usual routine. My plan is to have at least 95% of it before she gets home from school tomorrow. I will wake her at 4 am Saturday with the news!

Just finished packing. We leave our house at 3:15 AM. yep, you read that right.

DD#3 is doing some laundry. DD#1 is planning on doing laundry. I think they are just trying to make me crazy.

But i'll be going to bed very soon and if they have no clothing to wear on the cruise...so be it.

Good night all, see you real soon.
