[ucancallmetink]

I just assumed everybody had gotten theirs. Hmm. FYI I booked in January with Dreams Unlimited...if that has anything to do with it??? Good luck in finding out your info soon!

 

[kpflillirpf]

WOW! I logged on last night and we were at page 148. I went to bed and now we have 2 more pages. Gee, were you all up late last night or what? LOL

I'm getting more and more excited about our cruise. We have our magnets ready to print and our magnet paper has arrived!!!! Very very very cool.

I've been busy preparing for our trip to New Hampshire which begins on THursday night. Still gotta do bills (yuck ), make our lists of what we have to bring and start packing. Got lots accomplished last night including coloring that grey right outta my hair! Heee Heee It's a pretty color. It's in the red family and they call it sangria. The hubby likes it so all is well.

Anyway, I'm blabbing. Gotta get back to work. Talk atcha all later!


Welcome aboard all you new peoples!!!!! Glad to have ya!!!

I will have to talk to my TA cause I rebooked back in October or so. Would really like to know where I am!

 

[DisneyCruiser83]

Thank you Michelle for all your work! I cannot wait to see who I get for SM.

Corinna, I don't want them to get rid of Twice Charmed either, I really think it is a well done production. I would hope they remove a variety act, but I guess we have to wait and see... I would like to see it first though, otherwise I will have to wait until next year.

Hello to everyone, especially all the new people! I'm still visiting on the east coast so I'm not able to do anything with my FE gifts until I get back west. But for all the new people I am doing personalized FE gifts, so if you don't mind could you PM me your last name and address (just for the adults in your group). If you don't want to send me your address I understand, I also have a generic version of what I'm making, so if I don't get an address for someone they will just get the generic version.

I can't remember who was asking about teen girls, but I have one. Ashley is 15 and this will be her 3rd disney cruise. She is pretty outgoing and makes friends pretty easily. There's only a handful of teens on this trip (at least in the Disney Dreamers group) and I don't think anyone has started up a teen thread. But if someone wanted to, I'm sure Ashley would join it.

I too hope it's not Twice Charmed they would be getting rid of! I love that show. I would rather they replace the Golden Mickeys, but I don't see that happening. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Well, I'm off to figure out what to do with the kids today, it's raining so I'm thinking maybe a movie. It's so wierd to see rain in the summer. In California it doesn't rain one drop during the summer. It's neat though, I'm sitting by the open window and it smells like when you first get on Pirates of the Caribbean.

Michelle,

Round of Applause for such a great job on the FE list and website. Like others have said you did an amazing job keeping everything straight. I know it took good amount of your time

Thank you for taking on such a big task!!!!

Ok all of you should have received ur SM form of the person who is ur SM. I still need Bean418 and Disneyfan75's forms so them and Alex's Mom's friends are the only ones who have no-one yet! Hope to have them out to the 3 of u ASAP!
Happy Shopping to you all....I am gonna update the web page so that there will be a list with only the FE participants....so u can print that list for the FE and print the other one for a list of everyone in the thread....cause we may still get more people for the meet! NOT the FE since it's closed! TTFN

Well, the plan with watching High School Musical 2 did not work out. I got the DVD through an online rental company and the DVD was faulty. They are going to send me a new copy, but that won't get here until Thursday the earliest. Fortunately I am on earlies from Thursday onwards so I can watch it in the evening after work.

Instead I watched The Da Vinci Code. I bought this DVD in a sale a while ago, but it was still in its wrapper. I enjoyed watching this.

I also now have 40 of the fish extender gifts made. I don't have to make many more for our cruise, but I have got supplies for 100 so I figured I will make them all and keep the spares for the Eastbound Transatlantic next year.

I just got a huge box of Crocs. Somebody on the UK Community Board posted a coupon code for a UK based retailer that had a sale on. I got the Crocs for a third of their normal price and ordered 7 pairs (4 Mary Janes, 2 Caymans and 1 Disney Caymans). I had them sent to my work address and they arrived today. As I was not in work today, one of my colleagues who lives round the corner from me, dropped them round to my apartment on his way home. I have worn most of my Crocs within an inch of their lifes. Add to this that there are rumours going round that the company that makes them will go bust and this was an offer that was too good to pass up.

We booked the Dolphin swim in Cozumel as well. We did it in May when we went and can't wait to do it again. It is great to know that we will have fellow friends on the swim.

Carol

Michelle - Like Corinna said, "Thank you so much for all your work with the FE gift exchange". I couldn't have kept it all s traight. You've done a great job!

67 Adults! Wow! I think I'll be mailing a box to the ship, I don't think I can bring the FE gifts with me...you'll understand why when you see it.

Welcome to all our new cruisers If you have joined in the last couple weeks, are participating in FE and I haven't PM'd you, I need the favorite character of all the children in your group. You can either post or PM me the info as soon as you get a chance.

I logged in Sunday night at 9:00 PM and got a reservation for Palo Tuesday night!! I also booked the Dolphin Swim in Cozumel for Amaya and I and the Pirate Encounter in Grand Cayman for all of us. I get more excited everytime I can check something off my list...it's getting so close

Trina - I'm so sorry to hear about your father. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I lost my dad 2 years ago on 4th of July and my mom 8 years ago. My dad was also 92. I am so thankful for all the wonderful memories and photos.

I hope everyone is enjoying their week...see you all soon.

Okay this is silly but, Craig, my boyfriend, decided last night that he wants his own DIS board name. He is being refered to as Alex's Mom friends. He and his son decided they want something cool like everyone else. By the way, they can't stand my DIS name, Alex's Mom. I know, it is not very orginial but, it was all I could come up with years ago when I join and I never changed it. So, Craig would like his DIS name to be Jiminy Cricket. I think it is silly, but if you guys don't mind humoring him. So I asked Michelle to change the web site from Alex's Mom friend to Jiminy Cricket and son.What I do for the man that I love. He wants to be refered to as a bug!!!! What ever makes him happy!!!!

Thanks everyone,
Carol

 

[dismom73]

Carol, I don't think it's silly. It's nice that he wants his own identity! My husband still thinks I'm crazy for my disney "obsession" and being on the disboards. I don't hear him complaining when we set foot on the ship though...

The girls pirate costumes have arrived back home, but I wont be able to see if they fit until we get home. No MNSSHP tickets yet though. Do you guys realise that in just a few short weeks we will start recieving our cruise docs? I wonder who will get theirs first?

 

[HeatherD]

OMG, you guys! OK, all the parents of the 9/10 year old girls will probably understand my panic.

I had to buy Sam deodorant yesterday! She just turned 9 on July 4! Oy vey, I am not ready for everything that follows so closely behind this (bras, shaving, periods, sex talk). She doesn't know I'm freaking out about this, but it's sitting there simmering under the surface. I'll have to be careful to treat this very matter of factly, because she's already commented on not wanting to have to put on deodorant in front of other girls (like at camp next year).

And she's annoyed with my "sniff checks" (since we also discussed hygeine to make sure she's washing well).

 

[MinFan55]

Carol - What time is your Dolphin Swim? Ours is at 10:45.

Andrea - Do you want me to go over and check out the costumes? I talked to Joe last night, he's thinking of having the first practice/meeting next Wednesday. The other girl not on the team is Alexis, but Alexa from school is on their team. She was over yesterday and very happy when she found out she'd be with Riley and Amaya. Come back...I miss you guys.

Terri

 

[Alex's Mom]

Terri - We are at 10:45 as well!!!!

Okay, first of all, I reiterate what everyone else is saying to Michelle. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! I would never have pulled it off.

As for the Jiminey Cricket thing, how hilarious! I love it! Hey, if my husband asked to be a bug I'd say sure why not. LOL Thanks for the laugh out loud. Me likes!

And, lastly, Trina (a/k/a schmoopiekat) is on her way to NJ for her dad's funeral. They are having the service this Thursday (tomorrow) and the family is having a private burial on Friday. Please keep her in your prayers as this will be a few hard days ahead.

Now, on a more positive note, my mother is blessing my children! Lilli's 7th birthday is in 2 weeks. My mother decided not to be practical for her birthday (she said grammy's aren't supposed to be practical). Soooo, Lilli is getting a pirate outfit and a princess outfit. And, to make it even, she got a pirate and princess outfit for Katelin too. Lil is also getting videos for her birthday which Katelin isn't getting so that'll be cool. My mom has blessed these children so they can have the FULL experience on the cruise. THANKS MA!!!! (yes I'm aware she's not the one going on the trip and also not on this board but had to say thanks anyway)

Don't know if I shared but our magnet and sticker paper arrived just the other day so we can start printing stuff out. Also, I found our lanyards from the last cruise that we'll take and give to our family if/when we get new ones for Castaway Club and I also found my vest to my pirate dress that I couldn't find so all is well with the Foster world.

That's all for now. Goin' back to work! Kristi

 

[dismom73]

Heather, I feel your pain. My oldest is now 15 and I remember all too well when that time came. I remember she came up to me and said "Mom I need to wear deoderant" she was 9 and I laughed and said "no you don't" she said "mom, smell" so I did and we went straight to Target...a little time later she said mom I need to shave my armpits (we had decided that she could shave when she got to middle school, which is 6th grade for us)she was in 5th grade at the time, I said "no you don't" she said "mom look", we went straight to Target...again. It all happens so fast and beware, it's one thing right after the next.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Thanks to all of you for ur web page praise! I did work hard on it but could have made mistakes so if ANYTHING is wrong please let me know! I like it , it makes me feel more organized! I have made the FE people red to help locate them...I am so excited to deliver mine. I have all the kids homemade gifts done....I have to go back through and see about the goodie bags and make sure I have enough. I might have to go out and get somemore!

Heather--Sydney is 9 and nothing is growing, chest, hair, smell,,,nothing! I am glad, though we will have the sex talk this year so she's getting the info from me and not kids at school! She has said she wants deodorant because some of the girls have it but as of today even being a dancer she doesn't smell.. I could use another year for all that!

Today Sydney had a orthodontist appointment, got her bridge plate. Not to happy with it cause she's suppose to eat with it and she can't so who knows! Also had a dentist appointment and got outta there with no cavities! We don't have a Disney Store by us so since we were in Cleveland we HAD to stop at their Disney store Of course So they had an additional 50% off Tween stuff, so Sydney got a camp rock suit for the cruise(7.50), Sunglasses(3.00) , Nelia and my niece got flip flops(1.99), got a tinkerbell soccerball (1.99)......All this for $18.00 I love Disney Store clearance, now going to check out the web page for clearance!

Oh Carol will change Craig's name! TTFN

:
Tomorrow I have to go into town to get some new shoes for work and then I will hopefully meet up with DH to go and see the Harry Potter movie in IMAX 3D.

Corinna

You probably already found this out but the IMAX 3D version of HP doesn't come out until July 29. When the studio bumped HP last fall the IMAXs were already contracted for Transformers 2 so they have to wait 2 weeks to release that version.

That was probably way more info then you needed (or wanted -lol) to know

 

[LisaG520]

Welcome to all the newcomers! I can't believe how soon the cruise is!

Look Michelle - I wandered off FB...
