Websites are updated and being published now. I updated the Fish Extender section as well as the Roster. On the Roster I added a column for pre/post cruise plans - check it out and let me know if any updates, etc.

No problem, the DIS will put it up on the site in calendar form, but I couldn't wait (mild O.C.D.)

Good luck with the party, Happy Birthday Sydney Our son Owen will be 8 next Saturday.

June 25th is 180 days out. Do you have your dining choices made yet? Tick Tock.

Thanks for the info, it helps to get everyone straight in my mind. There are a lot of pages to look through, I think this thread may have been started before the internet was invented. When I first looked I thought maybe it was a list of pilgrims that sailed on the Mayflower.

i'm with you artie....i thought i'd be the one to start the thread when i got off the Magic april 14th 2007 - but nope the thread was already - Aisling had started it like Jan 1st or so....i couldn't believe how much was already there...but it was the 2005 Xmas cruise folks....

I wish we were still going too, Aisling...

I wish you were too....

Oh I saw that!

For anyone interested Google Earth has Disneyworld in 3D up and running. Very cool.

i will go check that out....i love Google Earth


here's some GOOD news - Rus got us into the Beach Club in Jan!!! i have never been there....he was able to get a 2 BR suite

Great news Brenda...and Marla!

Can you believe the Tigers were just about the only animals out and playing that day...

I took a ton, those were just the good ones~

I posted a few more on my MySpace if you get a chance to pop over there.

Adrian moved out last night

I am so happy for him. He was already on the phone with me this morning...he was headed to the store to find a plunger. Seems *somebody* clogged up the toilet and they realized they didn't have one.

He's also learned they get ants if they leave food out and the neighbor has roaches in his trash EWWWWWWW! The house (it's a rowhome) also has narrow stairwells cause they all had a heck of a time getting their box springs in their rooms.

He's already got lotsa plans to tour the city over the weekend, including a GOONIES showin at the Trocadero for only $2!

I am glad he sounds so happy~

ya i know exactly how you're feeling with Adrian moving out....i felt exactly the same way when Jen moved....i used to see her a lot as she was working for the cold stg where we have our products but since she left there...i don't see her as much as i'd like to - but she & DBF are always busy....& its all good for them....they leave for Jamaica next friday - they're always taking some cool exotic vaca somewhere....

 

[tiggerwannabe]

they're always taking some cool exotic vaca somewhere....

I think she learned that from her Mama~

I've had the house all to myself today...washed the car, wet the dogs (it's HOT out there) did some laundry, and am waiting for DH to get home.

We knew it was gonna be crazy hot (index is at or above 100 today) so we really have nothing planned.

oh yeah...

and I applied for a bunch of jobs on careerbuilder~

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I just finished editing my friend's promo pictures

I redid some in black and white for promotional variety)

Good morning!

I had such a busy weekend, with my brother and his family being here. The baby is awesome, such a happy baby, always smiling. This morning they left the baby and went to stand outside the Today Show. I was trying to see them on TV, but there are always so many people there in the crowd. My SIL is starstruck, so she wants to go looking for celebrities. Monday we're all going to the American Girl store for dinner, which my two nieces are ecstatic about.

Chad leaves for Italy on Friday, and Jesse will be taking over his weekend job at our parish rectory.

And to make things more exciting, we're expecting a heatwave this week...it's supposed to go up to 96! My electric bill is going to go through the roof with the air conditioning!

Aisling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where ya at girl!? Busy with the family?

I got a proposition...since John will be at a concert saturday night,

how about if you steal me away back to your place after the scrap party on the 14th? We can play with the new toy I got you and I could give you those cabinetry pointers while I'm there.

I know Father's Day is the next morning...

what do you think about my idea?

Are you in, even if I ask you to take me home late that night?

We can get those night shots you suggested around the city too!

I am really looking forward to that...

whaddayathink?

 

[Aisling]

OMG have you ever been so tired that you felt sick? It's been constant action in my house the last few days, day and night, and I honestly never realized how important a good night's sleep was. My mind and body are begging me for a rest. I'm on my way to get a massage, and I hope I don't fall asleep on the table.

I just saw a well-dressed man walk up to a trash can and start picking through it, right in front of me, I'm in my car right now. I snapped a picture to share with you, but now I see my memory card is on the laptop and not in the camera, so duh and a slap in the head to me!

Today's agenda, I just took Jesse to school, my massage at 9, then SIL Kristin wants to get a pedi at a place where the "stars go" even though there are 3 shops on the same block right up the block, then St. Patrick's Cathedral to light a candle for her mom, then I don't know what, then this evening dinner at the American Girl store, then Jesse has a runway job so we're all going to that, then she wants to put flowers outside Heath Ledger's building. My SIL is a sweet girl, just going a bit nutz being in the city.

Anyway, my dear Tig, yes to everything you said about coming back to NY with me!

I'm giving bro and his fam use of my minivan and they are going upstate to visit my daddy and sisters, and I'll have Chad's car, since he'll be in Italy by Saturday. My mother will be here, though, but that's ok.

Tig, congratulations to Adrian for taking the big step of moving out on his own. He's on his way to manhood, and will make you and John proud of him by his independence. And he knows if the apartment doesn't work out, he still has his home to go back to, a safe haven to work on Plan B if needed.

So how are all my cruise buddies doing? Oh, Anjelica, please add my family to the FE list (2 staterooms).

And in the words of Ryan Seacrest, Peace out, everybody!

Happy Monday everyone.
Get ready to groan, this is possibly the worst one yet......

A panhandler was caught trying to sneak aboard a Disney ship about to embark on a seven-day trip to the Western Caribbean. He was caught by the Purser who threw him off the ship telling him, ... Beggars can't be cruisers.

 

[artman]

Oh ya, and Happy Birthday to Donald Duck he is 74 today.

You've come a long way baby.

 

[Aisling]

... Beggars can't be cruisers.

GROAN!


Ok, did you make that one up??????


And gee Donald looks darn good for 74.

It really is amazing how Walt's creations have become such an important part of our culture. With all the cartoon characters out there, his Fab Five are still the most famous and beloved in the whole world. I love it.

 

[artman]

GROAN!


Ok, did you make that one up??????

There is no way I am taking credit for that!
