Oct.19, 02 Cruisers AGAIN

[disneydudette1]

But I was on the phone...a very important call you know!!!! I would have chatted with you otherwise.

I didn't post earlier...wanted to see what was up with everyone. Besides I'm sure you did want to hear Glenn this and Glenn that! LOL! What a terrific time I had though. I can't wait until July!!!!

Small Potatoes were great and then some!!! I would highly recommend any of their CD's. Check out their website and you can order them on line http://www.smallpotatoesmusic.com/

Congratulations Jaymee!!!! Glad to hear you survived the graduation Barb.

I haven't heard a word from Darren...a little worried here. Probably too busy and too tired to write.

Have a good evening all...off to bed now!!!

I'm still here! It was a busy day for us around here. Makenzie "graduated" from 3/4yr pre school today! She had a whole audience filled with our family plus the other children's families too. My nephew was also in her class so besides her daddy, brother, and myself, she had her aunt and uncle, her 6 yr old cousin Paige, another aunt, my nephew's grandparents and my parents all there for them. She was so excited to see everyone, especially her daddy! They said the Pledge of Allegiance, counted to 10, resited all their colors, told us all that today was Tuesday and it was cloudy out (they had a cute little song for that) and then sang: "Bringing Home a Baby Bummble Bee", "Toe Knee Chest Nut" (cute song, they pointed to the parts of their body when they sang), "The Noble Duke of York", and "I'm a Little Teapot". Then they each waited to hear their name called and went up to get their "certificate of Graduation".

We was so proud of her! She sang her little heart out! I started to tear up when they paraded into the gym, so I can't imagine how I will be for the high school and college graduation. Oh the things I have to look forward too!

Glad to see that everyone is back safe and sound! NOW if we could only hear from those MIA!!! I think we are going to have to call DCL and tell them to get Darren to get in contact with us!

Well, will post again! Have a great day everyone!

 

[disneydudette1]

Congratulation to Makenzie for your performance and graduation!

Not much has happened since I slept last night. I just thought I would do my usual coffee check in!

OK...Can we get the coffee club going again? Yes Garry we will allow you to continue with us if you like.

Have a good day all.

Good morning! Sandy, I think you summed up the MIAs accurately.

An update regaring my dad. He gets his 3rd procrit shot today and Thursday morning he will swallow the camera for the endoscopy. He says he has a little more energy than he had been having but still lots of fatigue. Getting this endoscopy scheduled has been a real pain. The office staff was rude and Dad's girlfriend had to be persistent otherwise we would be waiting a few more weeks! I'll keep you all posted when we get results.

Turner is having a sleepover this Friday for his birthday. Six other boys will be in this house!!! Pray for me!!!LOL

Have a great day!

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning!!

See how good I am at posting during the work week!

Thanks for all the congradulations for Jaymee. I appreciate all of you for all the support you give during the good a tuff times.

We are hanging tight waiting for the release of the names of the soldiers that were killed this past Monday. They are in the same unit as Mike (Missy's boyfriend). Mike operates a Bradley and so did one of the guys killed. Got word today that one of the soldiers was the son of the cook in my building. Please keep Mike in your prayers we have not heard from him in several weeks.

The weather is beautiful here again today. Sure is hard being locked in a building all day. I want to be out in the sunshine.

I'm here reporting in.....lost another pound and a half....was hoping for more but thought for sure it was less....

Worked outside all day yesterday...my time is getting short to get everything done as my daughter is due in less than a week..

The weather is beautiful and night temps are in the 40's.....I woke up at l:30 and couldn't get back to sleep for thinking about all I have to do so got up at 3 and cleaned the kitchen....now I am off to exercise and my weight loss class....

 

[disneydudette1]

Barb...Mike is in my prayers. Keep us up to date.

Hey all!!! Krista promised to post tonight so we all have to keep after her until she does!!! How about if we all send her and email that just says "POST"!!!!!

Mom- You have more energy than I do!!! Will you come clean my kitchen next? Better yet how about helping me paint my ceilings? LOL!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi guys, busy shopping for Stacey and Heidi's birthday tomorrow. Will only have Heidi here as Stacey comes home from Cancun tomorrow night. Last year without Heidi, this year without Stacey. Gotta get used to it I guess.

Mike is certainly in our prayers. Please post as soon as you know anything. And of course, Susan's dad is still in our prayers.

Dinner time. See ya.

 

[Schrolls]

My prayers are with Mike and his unit. Please keep us posted.

Happy Birthday (a day early) Heidi and Stacey!!

6:00am appointment with my Dad tomorrow for the endoscopy. Then off to work and a long day of facilitating workshops.

The good news - I lost 2.2 pounds this week!!! That was a big boost to my self-esteem. That's eleven pounds so far!! YIPPEE!!!!!

Gotta run. I have some work to do to make sure I am ready for workshops tomorrow.

I hope Krista posts!!

Later!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIDI & STACEY!!!!

Even the war has seemed to draw to an end, we need to remember those who are still away from their families and in harms way. We will also keep Mike and his family in our prayers.



Krista!! Krista!! Krista!! Krista!!

[wildernessgirl]

YEAH!!! KRISTA POSTED!!!!!! Glad to hear that you are doing well. How long will you be in Orlando? We are going to be there June 17th to 28th. We will be at the Wilderness Lodge!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HEIDI AND STACEY!!!!!!!!

The Lauter family, as well as our disney family, will keep Mike in our prayers. When you get news, please let us know!

 

[disneydudette1]

Thank heavens! Aren't you quite the traveler though!St Thomas now WDW! It would be great if you could get together with Julie et al when you are there!

I chatted with Barb last night...just in case she doesn't get to post Mike is ok. She can give details. It was great chatting with you Barb.

Sandy-I saw you again but I was on the phone with my friend Linda. I think we all need another wine tasting party chat...we can even skip the wine.

Susan- Contgrats on the weight loss!!! I imagine you got your 10# ribbon.

Happy Birthday Heidi and Stacey!!

 

[Denine]

We are home. We got home late yesterday afternoon. We had a terffific time. The time flew past. We were not ready to leave.
Kaleigh had a terrific time.

Sue: Sorry we missed you in Charlotte. The traffic through Charlotte wasn't bad. The only trouble we had was a bunch of people that have apparently never seen boats or water driving through Lake Norman. Once we passed trhough there, it was free sailing. We didn't get into Charlotte on Tuesday night until 11 PM. We didn't leave Disney until about 12:30 PM.

I give more details later. This was just a quick note.

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning!!

Thanks Bonnie for posting about Mike. Thank you everyone for all your prayers. Mike called home yesterday to let everyone he was ok. Missy also got 2 letters from him. She is one happy camper!

I am so sorry I cut our conversation short last night Bonnie. I am sure that there is some kind of timer on my internet now. After my darling wonderful husband start "improving" the computer it has not been the same. Good thing my Dad is a computer guru!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIDI AND STACEY!!!!!!!!! AND CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATION

Welcome home Denine, Jerry and Kaleigh!!

Congradulations Krista, Susan and Mom on the weight loss.

Barb

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi guys, thanks for the birthday wishes. I passed them on to Heidi and Stacey will get them tomorrow.

HOT, HOT, HOT that is the temp right now. Ick, Ick, Ick. I am like Denine in the winter but in reverse. I HATE to be hot. Hate it. Summer is just beginning, oh my.

Good to hear from Krista. We have all been thinking of you and wishing the best. Good for you and the weight loss.

I can now try and concentrate on myself and weight loss and exercising. Took 2 weeks off because of how busy I was. I am now afraid to weigh myself so might put off weighing for awhile. Everything will improve after today when we lose the RABBIT. Things improved a little after we moved the rabbits cage into the living room and locked her in at night. That way we couldn't hear her temper tantrums from being locked in night. During the day she had free roam. Camping was a nightmare however with her. Heidi gave me a friendly reminder that we get the rabbit for 2 weeks while Stacey and Richard are on their honeymoon. Oh my!

Denine, glad that you checked in. Let us know all about your trip and how Kaleigh did.

Bonnie, I saw you yesterday, too. Didn't IM you because I had to write a quick email to our shower door company. We then ran off to our elderly friends house to get her swamp cooler up and running.

Good to hear about Mike. I was thinking of him just this morning.

Congratulations, Susan! You are doing awesome.

Lauter's, want a nanny for your trip? Hint, hint. I love kids! I can give a resume and lots of references. Krista, how about you? I could sacrifice my time for WDW!!!!!!!!

Well, gotta go. See ya.

 

[wildernessgirl]

Hey Sandy, you are more that welcome! We are coming in on the 17th and leaving 28th. Just let us know if you will be driving or flying and wheather you staying somewhere else or at the Wildreness Lodge. Kids are already for you! They would love it! Anyone else want to come, we will be there! The more the merrier! I would love to have a nanny type person with us! More hands the better! It is a lot of fun to see Disney through a little persons eyes!

Glad to see you made it home safe and sound Denine! We thought about you guys alot while you were gone. We will be there on the 8th! We can't wait. Tell Jerry his playmate is excited to see him!

Barb, Glad to hear about Mike! I'm sure that Missy and everyone else was excited to hear from him.

Well, enough from me right now. Will check back in later and post again!

 

[Olando]

Just want to confirm.........Sandy DOES HATE HOT!!!!!!! We had the pleasure to spend a few agonizing minutes in the SIZZLING HEAT with Sandy and Ted in St. Maarten. I also hate the heat........75 is about my optimum temp.

Felt a little sisterhood with you that day Sandy.....Fond memories!!

Oh, I've never needed an invite...I've always just shown up!



Not much going on...it's a quiet night so far at work. Just counting the days until we're on our way to Disney.

Welcome back Denine and Jerry!

Sandy, I'm not sure you know what you're getting yourself into with the nanny offer. Did you forget Julie and I darting off after Makenzie as she became her own little tornado of destruction as she ran through the Magic's stores?


Hello to everyone else...have a good day!

 

[Schrolls]

Turner is having a sleepover this Friday for his birthday. Six other boys will be in this house!!! Pray for me!!!LOL

Two can't make it now. I hate it for Turner but I love it for my sanity! We have an end of school picnic this evening and then the boys will be coming home with us. We will probably get hme around 9:00 and then the FUN begins!

SOOoooo glad Mike is OK. I bet Missy just keeps rereading the letters she gets!

Denine - I hate we missed you again! I guess you'll just need to send me new pictures of Kaleigh since I didn't get to see her in person. I bet she has changed so much! I hope her trip was fun!

Julie/Garry - are you guys flying or driving to Orlando? If driving will you be coming through Charlotte? If so, maybe we can meet us. I haven't been successful with Denine/Jerry yet but don't hold that against me!

Same for you Krista but I'm not sure Charlotte would be on the way for you. If it is, stop if you can!

Gotta run and savor my quiet since it will end soon!
