I actually really like this modern style. Its stunning with the lights on at night. Our room had lovely leather sofas, where you were in a glass house, that was along side the docks. I loved sitting there watching the water............... dreaming of the cruise .................arhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Lindy Loo]

Heres us on the first night in the French restuarant in the hotel. Sam is on the left then Wayne then me then Mark. We all laughed looking at this, cos Sam and Wayne look a couple and me and Mark !
They are great great friends, who if they could afford to would be the BEST holiday buddies ever ( of course present company excluded!)

Linda, looks like you had a great time. We will be at second dinner seating as well. When is the tea party with Wendy? I know my girls would love that.
I am in need of a vacation soon, working full time, taking classes and driving the girls all over for dance lessons, plus teaching dance lessons as well, I feel like I'm about maxed out. Anyone else feeling the same way?
I"M READY FOR SOME FUN IN THE

Hi Everyone

Sounds like you had great fun shopping Kelly, the makeover sounds lovely I would so like to get one, and Bobbi Brown products are so nice, cant wait to see Captain Jack Bear, I have one too he is called Bob and at the moment is a footballer ! Dont woory about the wedding everything is going to be wonderful
Jane you explained very well how Jenns friend should join up, I am useless at explaining things like that .. I wish we were going now too Sue, as you have co-ordinated our dining - could you not ring up DCL and see if we can go this Sunday - you would need to do this for all of us no pressure or anything

Thanks for everyones advice on my arm - you are all gems, but I have some further questions for you if you dont mind -
Jenn - what is a tennis elbow band, I haven't heard of these and it may help if I can get hold of one - you are quite right though I am sure that fun and sun is going to be the best cure....
Belinda - what was the shot like, I am a big baby when it comes to needles so I am dreading Friday
Linda - yes it is my drinking arm, but I promise to practice over the weekend using my other arm, and by the time the cruise comes I will have perfected left handed drinking

Your pictures are great Linda, it looks like you had so much fun, I am very impressed with your goody stack, you are definately my sort of friend

And finally Jenn I feel exactly the same as you, I am fed up at work, fed up with my arm and generally sorry for myself, I cant wait for 3 weeks on Thursday when I will be on my way to Gatwick for an overnight stay before our flight, relaxing in the hotel bar with a glass of wine or two and a nice meal with Ian - I am so looking forward to it and meeting all of you for some major fun times - this feels like it has been a very long year - bring it on the sooner the better

The count down continues

Sue, Any docs last night Nope, none here
I must not have danced hard enough yesterday.

Jenn Yes I know what you mean. My life is crazy too. You sound alot like me. Working, teaching, and going to scool. But you also have little ones. Mine are no longer little

Linda, glad you had a great time. Glad your next great time will be here

Jules I dont know anything about drinking...err..a...I mean tennis elbow but I hope it is better soon.

Belinda, glad you dropped in. Where you able to locate dwoct06?

Kelly, 18 days, I am so excited for you. for the most awesome wedding day. Is your wedding in the afternoon or evening?

See you all soon

 

[SparKeLLy]

No cruise docs for me yet either

Our wedding is in the afternoon, 4:15.

Last night we finally found another song to use for our ceremony. We've been trying to find some nice Celtic music to incorporate but most of them have just been too fast or too slow for the bridal party entrance. I'm walking down to the instrumental of When You Wish Apon A Star - NOT Celtic LOL but it's what I've wanted from the beginning before we had planned any wedding stuff. The song we have picked now for the bridesmaids is called Give Me Your Hand. And we might use Haste to the Wedding as the recessional.

Tomorrow I'll be going with Jacob to his work conference at some big water park hotel in the Wisconsin Dells. Sadly there will most likely be no time for us to enjoy the water parks because he'll be in the conference all day Wednesday and all morning Thursday and I'll be stuck in the room working on my laptop! But we do get to go out to dinner together Wednesday night with all the conference people. Then Thursday on the way home we're going to stop and apply for our marriage license!

Linda sounds like you had a great time. Sorry to hear about your elbow Jules, sounds painful!

Here's my cruise doc dance since I didn't yesterday!

(I'm not much of a dancer )

And now I need to get back to work!!

 

[Sue88]

No, Jane, I didn't get the docs either. I am waiting till we get them to do my doc dance!

It be talk like a pirate day mateys!

 

[Mdavison]

Hello everyone
Jules the tennis elbow band you can get from any medical supply store. The one that is really good is the Armband Aircast. It is a little brace that goes around the elbow area to relieve the pressure off the sore spot. Let me know if you find one, if not I can bring you one from my office.
Anyone get their door decorating stuff yet?

 

[Lindy Loo]

Ive seen this photo on all ears, from the MNSSHP who is it ? I know its a villian, but who? ~Sorry to be thick!

got the fabric pen today for her pillow case to be signed by the characets, did you know about this for your girls ?

Kelly , whats the time difference if you get maried at 415 pm, I THINK its 5 hours back to the UK, so 11.15 UK time ? Well it is 5hrs when in Florida. That means we take off as you get married!!! How cool, i will be thinking of you both !

Jules, hows your arm???

[Lindy Loo]

Hi Mj

Here iis another picture of our weekend away. In the distance you can see the Millenimum dome, a massive building built for the year 2000. Sadly I think its now empty. i believe that the owners are applying for it to become a casino. This was out of our window.
http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j...rent=DSCF0079.jpg&slideshow=paused&interval=3

Here is Harrods, the massive department store, where ( if you have the money) you can get just about anything!

http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j...rent=DSCF0059.jpg&slideshow=paused&interval=3

[Lindy Loo]

Heres me, (worse for wear, after a late night!!) I went to the Hard Rock Cafe for Brenda, a cruiser we will be with on our 7 nighter NEXT Oct. She collects pins, so ive got 4 London pins for her.

Here is the Harrods deli bar, they have Sushi bars, Oyster bars, and loads more. We didnt eat here, too expensive!

[Mdavison]

Linda, Kelly is right that is Maleficient from Sleeping Beauty. Aurora is Kylie's favorite princess. I'm not sure what "MNSSHP" is? Fill me in, I'm out of the loop. I'm feeling rather brain dead this late in the evening. Great pictures Linda. I saw you already booked another cruise next October. Another Disney Cruise??? I'm trying to talk Mike into booking another one next year already and we haven't even gone on this one? I just love cruisin!!! and Disney!!
Does anyone have an actual roster of how many people are meeting from the boards?
Jules how is your arm doing, good luck with the cortisone shot. Any luck on the tennis elbow band?
Well off to bed now, will check in tomorrow. Have a great night everyone. Another day closer!!! Bye for now.

Yo Ho Ho Me Hearties

Does everyone be receiving their docs yet yo ho ho !! I could do with some more dancing
When you Wish Upon A Star is a lovely choice Kelly that will be so nice..
Jenn I have been looking for the the Aircast on the internet but no luck yet, I am going to have another look today, thanks so much fo the advice
Linda they are great pics, it is a shame about the Dome isn't it what a waste of space, we stayed quite near it once, and it was a good area. One of Ians mates went up to London during the hot weather and stayed on a boat that they had turned into a hotel, the boat didn't do anywhere it was just docked, they had a great time, we are thinking of doing a weekend next year ...
Jenn - MNSSHP is the Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom (Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party), it is a seperate ticket event held on certain nights in October, it is good fun, they have a different parade and fireworks, trick or treating and most people dress up in their costumes. The Headless Horseman rides down Main Street.
Jane has put together a brilliant list of all of us on our cruise, it is probably about three pages back ...
Linda I must say that you look very good for being the worst for wear, I wish I look that good after a few drinks - I look like this

 

[Mdavison]

What a great list - thanks Jules.
Jane - where in Florida are you?
We did Mickey's Very Merry Christmas one year and it was a lot of fun. I'm sure the girls would love that.
Linda - what night will you be attending MNSSHP with Eloise?
Did anyone watch the new episode of Wife Swap the other night where they switch spots with a pirate family?
Zippidee doo da, Zippidee day, my oh my what a wonderful day!!!!
