[Mickey02]

Happy Monday!!

Susan I love the quotes!

Rehearsal went well this weekend. It is really fun watching such a huge performance come together.

Hard to believe the weekend is over already. I just don't feel like I accomplised enough.

WIsh we had nice weather. It is supposed to be in the 50's today, but rain and then snow tomorrow and cold temps for the next 10 days.

Jeanne: My foot doesn't hurt as much. I have been taking my relafen and Jerry has been icing it at night. Enjoy the park!

Sandy: Happy Anniversary a day early! Sounds like you had a great weekend and some nice gifts.

Sue: Love the quotes too. Pixie dust to your dad.

Heidi:WAKE UP!

Barb: Performance time is coming soon!

I will definitely post if I hear from Julie or I get a chance to call her.

Heidi:WAKE UP!

Too funny, that was the first thing I read after lunch!!

I think I know what has me drowsy, the allergy medicine I took!! It usually doesn't make me drowsy but that is the only thing I can think of!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Denine, how funny! Heidi wake up!!

The popcorn didn't kill me too much. I only gained .2 pounds but I did wear my light weight jeans. They fit the best so I have decided to switch jeans for weigh in on the day I knew I would have a gain.

Where is Bonnie? We want to hear from you!

Julie, still thinking of you and hope everything is still going good.

Susan, look in Kohls 80% off racks. On top of that is another 50%. Nice!

Denine, let's hope your foot keeps progressing. Sounds good to me!

Jeanne, keep going over to the park. Good exercise you know! My feet just don't allow me to walk the path of our park. It is the Columbine one and I haven't walked there since. Heidi rollerblades there all the time.

Barb, before you know it it will be time for the actual performance. When does it start?

Sally, come out come out where ever you are. We all know what you are doing! WORKING!!

Look at this:
DRESS POLICY CHANGE

Jeans are now acceptable attire under the revised "Cruise Casual" dress policy. It is still requested that guests do not wear shorts, swimwear or tank tops to the dining rooms.

The attire is determined by the day, not the restaurant with the exception of Palo. The seven night cruise has a formal night, semi-formal night, pirate/tropical night and four "Cruise Casual" nights.

On the 3 and 4 day cruises there is one night where "dress-up" attire is requested. Men are asked to wear a jacket while ladies are asked to wear either a dress or nice pantsuit.



NEW SHOW ON THE MAGIC

An exclusive show is debuting on the Disney Magic. Scheduled for the first night, it follows the tale of a young cruise guest who dreams of becoming the ship's captain. Mickey, Minne and a host of Disney characters guide him on his journey of discovery.

Intertwined in this musical presentation are helpful hints and an overview of the events and activities that guests can enjoy during their voyage. The ship's officers will be introduced as part of this program.

PALO DRESS CODE

During dinner, gentlemen will be required to wear a dress shirt. Gentlemen wearing polo shirts, t-shirts, Tommy Bahama style shirts, etc will not be allowed admittance. Jackets and/or ties are still recommended but not required. Notices will be in the Personal Navigator, on the Palo reservation card and a sign outside the elevators on deck 10 will contain this dress advisory. The Resort Casual dress code for both the brunch and high tea remains unchanged.

I just don't like the jeans change especially after I just went out and spent money for skirts, tops and dresses!! Don't get me wrong, I love to wear jeans. I wear them daily. Just don't think it is appropriate. Those who didn't like to dress up could go to topsiders or Pinocchios. Oh well, I am not one to "rock the boat".

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

yeah, you are right Sandy. I have been working in my yard....I mowed the grass today...it is still very green, never did get brown, but I cut it mostly to get all the leaves,etc off of it.

I bought a waterfall fountain and got it going in the front yard...Patti had given us a gift certificate for Valentine Day so I used that to buy it.....I have several different flowers blooming...primroses, crocus, pansies, and johnny jump ups...several kinds of bulbs are about 4 inches high....and a bush is getting yellow blooms.....still have a lot of work outside but I know we will have several snows yet.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Sally, you are going to have to take a picture of your yard to send to all of us. It must be beautiful.

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

It is going to be awhile yet.....have you seen the two little kids sliding down a slide with a dog? I got it at Walmart with another gift certificate Patti gave me for my birthday....it is so cute. I got the little girl and boy on a bench and the little kids on a teeter totter last year as gifts from my daughter in Texas and my grandaughter. They all know I love my yard so I am easy to buy for...lol

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY MOM & DAD

Wow Sally, your yard must be beautiful with how much time you put into it. Maybe you can teach me when I get a place of my own!!

Well I made it through the meeting yesterday, so much fun to get yelled at (now twice, 2 different meetings) for the same thing but they can't tell us the complaints because it is "secret." How can we improve if you can't tell us whats happening and what we are supposedly doing wrong. But he (the acting director whose last days is Friday, he has been with us for 6 weeks) did say that the mistakes that were being claimed were in fact not mystakes and everything was correct. First time in the last 2 weeks someone told us we were actually doing our jobs correctly instead of yelling at us. Okay vent over!!!!

Still thinking of Julie. Any updates yet?

edit: wow that was really big and bold!!!

Happy Anniversary Sandy and Ted.....30 years and counting

It is suppose to be another nice day...I am going to a luncheon with the ladies from our church at Mimi's today. Then a friend and I are going to the food bank that we are collecting canned goods for at church. It was interesting when we talked to the man in charge...he said they are really low on canned foods and they really need peanut butter and jelly.

Watched American Idol last night....they really have a group of talented people...especially the men. They are all so good.....

Hope everyone has a great day......Heidi, I am sure you are doing a great job....

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning!

Just taking a few minutes to check in. I am always so busy now I hardly have time to do anything.

The performances for The Thorn are the 17, 18 &19 and the 24, 25 & 26 of March. There are 9 performances total.

HAPPY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TED AND SANDY!!!!!!

Julie-We miss you. Hope everything is ok.

Heidi- Bummer you are having a challenging week at work. Do I need to come and ruff up anyone??

Hey Mom you should have a cook out this summer when your yard is done and invite our Disney family!!!

Hi Bonnie, Jennie, Susuan and Denine!!!

Barb

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

Afraid not too many are close enough to come and it wouldn't be worth a long trip.....

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Morning guys!

Thanks for the anniversary wishes. WOW, Heidi. Yours sure caught my eye!

Sally, I love all those figurines for the lawn. Mimi's cafe is sure yummy. Enjoy your lunch. Peanut butter and jelly, the old American standby! I agree, the men are very talented on American Idol this year. Did you watch Boss Swap last night? That was fun.

Barb, the time is coming soon for you to open the show. WOW, 9 performances. How long do they last?

Heidi, maybe once you get a director to stay in the position all will be fine.

Nothing new here. Anxious to see if Noah went back to school or if I get him today, too. We are meeting Ted for lunch. Being I have Graci I decided to go to McDonalds. How romantic! Heidi do you want to join us? I will pick up Dad at 11:30 and go to the one on Alameda across from Belmar.

Better run and call Ted.

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

Yes, I watched Boss Swap....better than I thought it would be.....she kind of messed things up for him and I thought he was too tough but his way worked best...

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I entered into Boss Swap thinking it wouldn't be good but I did enjoy it because of the BIG difference between the two. He is/was a nasty man. She was just too low key. Fun place to work though.

Oh my, a big wind storm has hit. I was making plane reservations just a couple of minutes ago and the lady happened to be here in Denver. She was explaining what it was like and how horrible it is and now it is here. It is DARK and windy. Blowing sand and dirt. She said the next thing is snow coming down sideways. Unbelievable. Button down the hatches Heidi cuz it is HERE! Wow, it is making popping noises all over. I can smell the dirt. WOW!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SANDY AND TED!!





Hi guys! Just a quick stop by. Thanks for all the pixie dust and prayers for my dad. He seems to be doing a little better. They had him walk a little last night. The chest tubes are out. He still is having some breathing "problems". He seems to be laboring with his breathing and at times seems to have real difficulty at times. They said that the diabetes has caused some "spotting" on the heart muscle and other muscles around his chest cavity so he will no longer be able to have any kind of bypass surgery in the future. This was his one shot the doctor told us. He looks pale to me so hopefully he will get more color as the days go by. Don't know when they will let him go. They are taking it slow with him with his diabetes and his half foot ( he had the toes of his left foot removed years ago due to his diabetes). He has never had a heart attack and the doctor says that he was a walking time bomb and if it would have gone off, there would have been nothing anyone could have done. He's coming along slowly. I just hope his oxygen level rises alittle more.

Well, gotta go, I'll post more later when I have a chance to read the posts!

Thanks again!
TTFN

 

[Denine]

Julie: Glad you were able to post. With the diabetes, it just may take longer for your dad to heal. It sounds like he is coming along though. One day at a time. Continued pixie dust!

It is snowing on and off and it is 19 degrees. Maybe we should move to Colorado!

We put up our last ceiling fan last night! It only took 6 months! It looks really nice, much better than a bare light bulb.

Still trying to decide on paint colors for the living room. Have any of you ever gone out of your "color safety zone"? I have always painted main rooms a light color, but I am leaning towards a darker color and I am nervous. I don't want to spend a lot of money on paint and hate the way it looks. My mom thinks I should do the living room and kitchen and morning room the same color since they are connected. I could get away with a different color in the morning room though, just not much different. The powder room is going to be dramatic though. It is small, but it is going to be a dark berry color. I really want to start painting.

Sandy: Did you blow away? Happy anniversary!

Sally: Wow! You actually have things blooming in your yard? I just read in the paper that the maple syrup season is already 2 weeks behind and may even get to be 3 weeks behind because of the cold weather.

Heidi: Glad you liked the wake-up call! Hope you have a better day today.

I also don't like that DCL is allowing jeans in the dining rooms. They should have stuck to their guns.

Tomorrow is weigh-in. I hope I lose at least 1 pound so I can get my 10 pound clippy.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Okay all I have to say is that we have some STRANGE weather today. It was supose to be 54 degrees out (tomorrow 61!!!), then like my mom said it got really windy and loud and we could see a brown cloud blowing towards us, covering up our beautiful blue skies, then it turned dark and started to snow huge flakes for about 2 hours, and now the beautiful sunny blue skies are back and I am sure it will get up to 54 melting the snow!!!!

Julie - I am so glad to see you post. Prayers and pixie dust still coming your way.

Amazing Race tonight!!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Julie, it was great hearing from you. I think that it will take your dad longer to recuperate due to the diabetes. I know it took my mom awhile as well. Continued pixie dust and prayers.

Denine, glad that I am not the only one that doesn't like the new blue jean rule. I am not so sure that I will wear them. I think I will still pack my skirts and sundresses. Maybe one or two nights with jeans if I feel lazy or running behind.

Does anyone have an opinion on ceramic flat irons? I hope that is the correct name. It is for straightening hair. One kind better than another?? I think that I will go out and buy one to help with my hair in the summer and on the cruise.

The storm is over. Crazy! We got lots of snow in a little bit of time. It went from the windy sandy to rain to snow. Hei;di I did go have lunch with dad and we got more snow here at the house than Lakewood did. Lots of moisture came out of this storm.

Amazing Race tonight. Quite honestly, I think I like this one better than the last one because everyone is getting along. I love my team, the gay guys. They are just too cute. I saw previews and it looks like Boston Rob turns back into the creep that we all know.

 

[Mickey02]

What a day! people are not being as nice as they could be on the phone!

It was an interesting weather day today. It snowed from about 9:00 to 2:00
now it is sunny most of the snow is melted and the roads are almost dry! I hope the mountains got tons of snow. I want them to let up on the water restrictions this summer.
"
I get off of work in about an hour. I am SOOO glad. Had enough "yell at me" crap. Gotta love customer service. I am going tanning then to rehearsal.

Bob and I are doing our bedroom over in tropical/Parrots since our last name is Parrott. We bought paint last weekend and plan to start painting soon. I want to get a ceiling fan that looks like leaves. Thought is would be fun.
