NYE Western Cruise 2008 - New Thread

[teacherbell]

The food talk is killing me, I just walked out in the kitchen and Claudia was sitting there eating pizza with a guilty look on her face.

I am however killing you guys on the weight loss front.

Ok, what you all don't know, is that Artie and my son have been trying to gain weight this last month. Artie for his surgury and Owen wants to hit 60 lbs . So what has been happening to mommy in a house of overindulging skinny people? Oh, you guessed it....tight pants. So now I have to hit the treadmill extra hard, while Artie drinks milkshakes...and people feel sorry for him. He's doing great though, and hasn't complained once...ok, twice

Aisling, the picture of your son was something else. He must have been very sore after all that.

oh i know what's that like.....DH is 5'10" & weighs 135....DS is 6'0" and FINALLY weighs 145 - up 14 lbs. from last summer - he is trying hard to get to at least 160!!!!

Did you call me a CAPTAIN STALKER???? Hey, you stalked him with me ya know

nope, you spoke the words I needed to hear. I'm doing it.

So perhaps it's Wilson, mom and me this time. Molly got to go to China with Grammie. Maybe this time I take the boy and have that alone time

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Just an update....Julia will not be cruising with us after all ...just couldn't see paying that exorbitant upcharge to add a passenger....BUT she is flying into Orlando early Sat a.m. the 3rd to have 3 days at the park with Ryan & if Disney's Magical Express is ontime - she should arrive at the Beach Club when we do or possibly even before us....as her plane lands at 7:30 am....and we were even able to get her on the same flight home with us on the 6th....

At least she gets to go to DisneyWorld with him right?

Guess who made the Dean's List!

~I have no idea what my exact grades are, but they musta been good~

​

 

[artman]

OH that is so NOTTTTTTT fair!!! other than no food...how are you?????

I'm ok, I have to go into to work (at least for a few hours) on Monday, so I'm hopping that I improve a little by then. The pain is going a little everyday, but now I'm really struggling with sleep.

He's doing great though, and hasn't complained once...ok, twice

Your a rotten counter for a grade two teacher.

Guess who made the Dean's List!

Way to go little miss smartie pants ​

 

[tiggerwannabe]

smartie pants

I worked hard for those grades!

Smarts had nutin tado wit it

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Sleep was hardest for my DH after his surgery too.

I presume you are used to sleeping on your side and can't?

He still has issues when he rolls over wrong~

after you are done with the real pain medz, you may want to invest in some aleve...

not much helps him but it does take the edge off.

Now I have two daughters that did excellent in grad school.

Must run in the family (on the moms side that is) In the military the 3 schools I went to I was tops in my class. Forget HS.

Just a quick note to everyone staying on property before the cruise. There are some discount codes out now, we just called and saved $240.00 on our stay at POR from Dec 22-27. It's not a lot but better then a kick in the teeth, and trust me I know what that feels like.

code DGL for a regular Magic Your Way package, QXD for a package with Dining Plan, DGM for a package with Dining Plan + Wine, UVL for a package with Deluxe Dining, or GGM for a package with Deluxe Dining + Wine.

We used QXD, let us know if anyone else has any luck

 

[CADZNYCHC]

At least she gets to go to DisneyWorld with him right?

YEP she sure does & fairly cheaply too which is GREAT!!!! they used 'miles' for her flight to MCO on 01/03 & the flt home with us was only 269 total....I am getting her the 3-day park passes for her Xmas gift from us...

Over at the Trip Planning forum there is category called Codes and Rates, find the Jan/09 thread.


I own a countertop fabrication shop that my Dad and Uncle started about 30 years ago, we do Laminate, Corian and Zodiaq countertops.

Claudia and I are off for a day trip, my first outing since surgery. We are going over to a little seaside town called Chester about 1/2 hour from our home. It is race week there and I normally sail with my buddys, had to pass this year of course. Not a big loss the winds have been light and a little rainy. We are going over today to watch from shore. Should be a great day!

 

[CADZNYCHC]

Thanks!!! Have a FUN day!

 

[disneykelly73]

Congrats Tigg.

Jill, what branch of the military were you in?

Artie, glad to hear that you are well enough for a day trip.. sounds like fun.

I'm going to check this out. I so need to save a few dollars on this trip.

 

[Aisling]

Ok, just checked, and Artman you're a lucky pup, because you'll be there starting on Dec. 22, the code expiers on the 23rd, so they gave it to you for your full stay. We aren't checking in until Dec. 25th, so no deal for us. But I'm very happy for you!


What's everyone doing on Christmas night?

 

[trinibjill]

Let's see
travel the 22nd
arrive the 23rd
staying at Shades Of Green until we leave for the cruise
That puts me at WDW Yaaaay

Thanks for the kudos guys...it was completely unexpected because I seriously don't know what my grades were. I am sure I aced Graphic Design, Entertainment Marketing I presume a B, chemistry I was happy if it were a C and macroeconimics was totally up in the air. I know I worked hard all semester. I literally NEVER worked that hard in school in my life. I appreciate school more now.

Artie, I went to a vocational high school and my shop for 3 years was cabinetmaking. I use my woodworking knowledge more now in my home and in helping others with kitchen advice. right Aisling I am more of a furniture maker/refinisher in my woodworking tho. I've built small stuff like shelves up to a bench. somebody in my family has a kitchen cabinet I had to make for my shop final.

I even tried out a shop like yours when I got out of school but found it to be a bit much for me. I can tell you I had some pretty good muscles by the time I got let go

I can appreciate that. I hated high school - loved the schools I wanted to go to. She's her mothers daughter.

I have a few things that she did in school She was quite good.
