October 11-18, 2008 Disney Magic Parrothead Pirates in Paradise Chapter 13

[choco_latae]

I take a lot of photos too, but I scrapebook mine. I stay about a year behind, but I scrapebook every picture of Merkie. I don't do themed books, I do them in order as they are taken. You can start with my first book and go through them and watch Merkie grow up. Sometimes I get them all out and look and cry. My baby is taller than me know. I can't believe it.

We do the scrapbooking too.

I'm here Shauna. I picked Merkie up at school, dropped by the church to leave some paper work that I did for our Angel Food Ministry (Saturday is distribution day) and then we went to Applebee's for dinner because I have no plans of cooking tonight. I woke up with a headache and have had it all day. I think too little sleep and too much computer screen. I use the computer a lot at work to. I am thinking about having my eyes checked before we leave on the cruise. I'm just a big whinny butt tonight!!!!!!

How has your day been?

Yea Im not a big fan of cooking (as you can see) but when we move...I will be forced to cook more But I will try to get away with simple foods most of the time You poor thing with the headache...I hate those that last all day...they really are annoying! I wear glasses and havent had my eyes checked again since Chris was born (3 years ago!) so I think I am due for a checkup as well Your not being whinny to me...yap away, I dont mind!

My day has been ok...packed up 4 boxes (doesnt sound like a lot) but my back is killing me....My stomach hurts...wont get into that....lets just say I am rather moody right now And although those few things....I am still in a GREAT mood because Im on a high for the cruise!! The closer we get...the more giddy I become I think i have most of our things packed only a few more last minute things....but I am happy...although I would like to be happy in better shape (minus stomach and back ache) but I cant honestly complain right now

To late , I seen it. hehehehe I told you that one day, youd be glad that I took the pictures. Though you should have seen me when Mike and Shauna was dating. I really had fun taking pictures.hehhehe

I have a picture of Merkie when she was in first grade, sitting in the bathtub with soap suds holding her hair up in a spike on her head, her arms crossed over her chest and her lips puckered to kiss. I've warned her that the first boy she brings home gets to see it. I'm hoping that the threat will deter dating for a while.

Oh that's right. Now I remember that it was Shauna who told me about the scrapebook store in Orlando that I am going to try to find on our next trip. It's so much fun.

heheheheheh that would be so cute. How old is she now?

Yea its a good thing Mike loves me for who I am...those pictures were awfully embarrasing...but now that I know mike better, I am no longer concerned with my pictures

That is funny Gail about that picture...she will love you for that one But dont worry, Isnt that a parents job

I need to do my scrapbooking...I have all of the stuff and TONS of pictures but with me its finding time to sit down to do it! I am seriously considering going to Digital scrapbooking because I could do it more and wouldnt have to worry about the mess of bringing everything out and having to put it back within just a tiny bit of time

Well, we've both had bad days. We'll just have a pity party together!!!!:

I can't cook at all. My idea of cooking is not what other people call cooking. I fix hamburgerhelper, tacos, stuff that a kid couldn't mess up.

I know what you mean about being excited about the cruise. I am more excited about this one than I was about the last one. I think it's because the last one was my first one and I wasn't sure what it would be like or if I would even enjoy it. Now, I know what's in store and just can't wait to get there.

heheheheheh that would be so cute. How old is she now?

She will be 11 in November, but she is going through that stage where she wants to grow up but still wants to be a kid. Sometimes she acts likes she is 16 and sometimes is acts like she is 6.

You and I both have the SAME idea of cooking!! Wow I cant believe that there are other people out there like me....

Yea the same with me about the cruise...our last cruise was our first one and it was only a 4 day so I am more excited about having a longer cruise and meeting you guys...Ive never met anyone on the cruise before and so that is going to be fun. The last one was supposed to be a surprise to me but THANKFULLY Mike told me before hand (and we didnt have much time to get things prepared...only like a month) and so I was rushing to get magnets and such done and didnt think about a meet or anything...but this one is more relaxing and fun

I dont know why my ticker suddenly decided to not show up

 

[tazgirl1981]

Wow...I just got 1,100 posts...

We moved into the house we are in now about three years ago. It has a little apartment above the garage. I've turned it into a scrapebookroom. I have shelves all along the walls for all my supplies and one long table down the middle of the floor to use as a workstation. I leave my stuff out all the time. I don't get much done during the warm months. I work on it a day here and there. But I scrapebook all winter long when there really isn't much to do around here because of the cold and snow. I guess you just don't have that problem though.

What was it that someone was saying the other day, Shauna about you getting to 3600 - I knew that wasnt your posts?

 

[tazgirl1981]

Aww man...I wish I had that setup! Its hard with Chris to just get things out and keep them out..although its getting easier as he gets older. In our new place that we are renting there is a whole room that we will use for a spare room/playroom/ craft area for me....In Christopher's room now I have a table and shelves that I use for a craft area now but not enough room to keep anything out or do too much.

 

[tazgirl1981]

Mom- they are talking about the HIGH posts for the Chapter...its in the upper right hand side (those numbers) we have a game that we try to get the highest number...just for fun. Gail has gotten more than me but I got one the other day on Chapter 12 (post # 3600) Allen often beats us to the punch when he is on...He is a Sneaky pirate

That is what we should have done with our extra room but for some reason a little boy took it over.

 

[tazgirl1981]

See on the side we are getting close to #300 which would be considered a high post...so Allen will probably swoop in and grab it...its about time for him to show up

We did get on here before our last cruise and we had a pretty group. We didn't do shirts or FE. We did do matching band bracelets with out motto on them. We also reserved the private room at Palo for brunch, ladies only. We all meet for the Sail-Away Party. Then different combinations of us met at different times for various activities. A group of them met every night at one of the clubs, but I don't drink and Merkie was six and didn't care much for the clubs, so I never joined them there. Some of us did the submarine excursion together in Cozumel. It was fun running in to each other where ever.

Randy here!!! Just checking in to throw in my comments on the ticket issue. Would I give Mickey a ticket??? Absolutely not. But that Goofy guy better not cross the line by speeding or tinting his window too dark!!!!

Love,, it Randy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tazgirl1981]

Hey I cant help it that you guys spoil him rotten...and he has his own room at your place....ALTHOUGH Mike and I have to sleep in the living room....LOL Just teasing you...But he has more toys at your house than he does here at mine...although that can be debatable
