NYE Western Cruise 2008 - New Thread

[Anjelica]

Hello everyone. Just read through the past few days postings so I think I am caught up.

We went ahead and signed up for the REAS package a few weeks ago now I need to remember when we can start booking. Not sure if I can but would be interested in doing Brunch at that same time you folks were discussing - December 29th - and it would be nice to get the private room. Can we add on people to a Brunch reservation if they aren't within the 105 day window but we are?

Sounds like the summer is winding down for many of you. Sydney started Kindergarten last week so our summer has been "over" for a bit. Nothing else new really going on.

The first newsletter from marching band directors today - it lists report times etc for the week, games, competitions, which group brings cookies for 3rd qtr break etc

Interesting note at bottom

"Does your hair fit the “off the ears and off the collar” standard? The uniform parents will cut it for you next Friday if it doesn’t fit the standard. Hair cut will be free of charge, but please note that it will not be a professional cut.

Also, all jewelry must be removed. Do not get any new piercings while in marching band. They have to come out. Also no makeup."

Kara gave me newsletter when she got in car and first words out of her mouth - wonder how many won't be marching Friday night

It is in their handbook about dress code etc, but there are always some that think the rules don't apply to them.

should be interesting at the game Friday night

Hi Aisling,

I was able to get the Hollywood Brown Derby on 12/26 at 8pm.. YEAH!!! That was scary.. I was like.. WHERE IS YOUR HEAD AT!!! lol..

Anjelica, you can start booking on Sept 13th, provided that your ressie is paid in full. I am going to go to my mom's (I dont have a computer at home) and jump on at Midnight on Friday night, to get my Palo dinner and brunch, and my excursion in Cozumel.

Marla, WHY shouldnt the girls in band be allowed to wear make up?? that doesnt seem right. Do they say no make up to the cheerleaders?!?! Also, WHY would any of those kids allow someone to cut their hair if its not a professional cut?!?! YIKES!

Oh.. also, weighed in at WW last night.. down another lb. So total have lost 10.8 lbs. Just 29.2 to go!!!

Colleen!!! having a great time?

 

[CADZNYCHC]

We can book 9/28....i'm assuming "eastern" time...?? so i have an all day CM event on 27th - which will get me home about 10:30 pm or 1:30 am EST...so you know what i'll be doing as soon as i get home.....

Kelly - thanks for the reminder on adr's....guess i should get with Michelle & Rus & see where we should make ours for our 3 days....it will be Julia's 1st time to WDW....so we'll have to take her to some fabulous places for sure!

In regards to band - they want a 'uniform' look - they knew about the hair since they signed up last May - they have been mentioning haircuts for a month now - but some just don't think the rules apply to them

With their hats - they want the hair up - aka ballet dancer -

In regards to make up - color guard can wear some - the color guard director bases make up on their uniform for the year - last year it was pretty simple - just some macrasa and lip gloss, the year before it was more - they did have problems the one year - weather was so hot for most of the season - that makeup was running off etc

I got my cruise package today, so my day started off on a great note. Louise's and Chad's also came, and I'm going over to her house now to give it to her. She'll be so excited to have it!

Kelly, keep it up with WW, you're on a mission! After Louise's house, I'm going to the gym.

i want ours....they must be on their way by now ...we're even all paid up.....

 

[disneykelly73]

Brenda, I am sure yours will be coming any day now.
I have been religiously going to my meetings, staying the whole time, and writing down EVERYTHING..

Brian and I are going to Toronto this weekend to see the Sox play the Jays... I have been sitting here planning out how to spend my extra 35 and my daily allotment and STILL enjoy myself at the game and around town. I planned out the restaurants, then choose off the menu for something that fits in my points. I am most concerned about the car rides to and from Canada.. we are talking 9 hrs, in a car.. and I cant bring any nonpackaged items into to Canada or out of there for that matter.. sooooo.. its a numbers game right now.

I want to be down another pound when I weigh in on Tuesday the 26th...

Aisling, that is great about the gym.. I just havent gotten to that level yet. Funny, I am willing to eat less food rather than work out. LAZY!! goodness.

We're having a very nice week so far...

weather's been good, the beach is right across the street...

Mom, we have the Harley shop 100 yards from the house - you want us to pick you up something while we're here?

I bought myself a new swimsuit and found a cute outfit at the Harley shop on clearance. Harley's prices are high - as usual, I go straight for the clearance and shop there.

The guys are taking a nap and then we're headed out to dinner.

Otto (my Neph) cut his toe skim boarding but Rose being the nurse she is already took care of his boo boo.

Mom, lemme know if the cruise docs come in, K? Please make sure Laurie is checking the mailbox...if I get anything, I'd like to know if the docs show up.

Absolutely, something from the Harley shop, I would love it.

Laurie & I worked out new times. I go after work at about 11:15 am & she goes later.

Will do on the mail. Have a great time.

Mom

 

[disneykelly73]

Tigg, I hope you are having fantastic weather!!!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

so far the weather's been great!

Mom, ask Laurie what she wants too please? I need to know a little more specifically what you'd like me to get you. I know what size shirts, you'd need to tell me what style - tank? tee?

 

[CADZNYCHC]

Kelly...that is great that you're being so "RIGHT on" with the points system...as time goes on & your weight loss starts to slow...GRADUALLY add some short walks....10 mins a few days wk...then up to 20 - 10 mins out the door & back is easy to get in 20...do this till you get to 30 mins at least 4 days/wk...then maybe do some stationary biking & some walking or some ellipitical (if you have access anywhere to this type equipment)...you'll surprise yourself on how the weight loss will stay steady...but you do need to mix it up sometimes....

i didn't know Canada was so strict with their pkgd fds...fruits / veggies yes...but pkgd/processed???? wow....my ideas for low points in a car would be frts/veggies/some almonds....although i don't allow any food in my car...so thats never an issue....

Laurie said she would like a long tank (no belly popper). I would like a tank shirt also.

OKDOK
