October 19th Cruisers again and again...

[jiminyC_fan]

Oh no Susan, you can't be late! Survivor is on.

Denine, have a wonderful time. Get well fast.

Jeanne, I remember wearing gloves to my military balls. Made you feel so grown up. Now, I have never worn a tiara tho. A shawl, didn't you have one last time. It looked so elegant. I took tylenol cold pm last night. My symptoms only appear at night. Normally, I wouldn't take anything but I don't want ANYTHING this time. Last cruise I was sick.

Very sad about not getting the house but today I am doing better. Yesterday I was a mess and very emotional, I was so excited but I am not falling into "creative financing" just to get this house. They want me to do an interest only ARM for 5 years. After 5 years the rate will go up but not to exceed 11% and then the principal payments would start too and to refinance you have to repay the closing costs after so my payment in 5 years would go up to about an average of $600/month plus what I was paying for the interest only payment. No thank you. Like my mom said there will be other "perfect" houses out there that I will like just as much. Chris tells me it is better because now I can go on more cruises!!! I am not worrying about looking at places again until after the cruise, I just want to go on the cruise and not worry about a thing.

I am taking Tylenol sinus/allergy. It only hits me in the morning. I hope you feel better Denine. Bye Denine, have fun!!!

Jeanne - I think I might wear black gloves if you guys are. I haven't bought any yet, but you are making me change my mind!! We will see, I can always walk to the mall tomorrow and look around (I don't have my car so I have to walk and my mom has a hair appointment!!)

Today is my Friday so I will try and post tomorrow under my moms name!!!

Have a good weekend!

I have pictures of my 12 and soon to be 14 year old cousins up at my desk and a coworker came to talk to me and asked me who they were. I told her my cousins and that I am really close to them and she asked me how much OLDER are they then me. When I told her their ages, she was very embarrassed!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Heidi,

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Yea my car is ready to be picked up!! No more red little junk car!!!

Mom if you read this before I can talk to you (since Gracy is sleeping and the phone is off the hook) I do not need you to pick me up. I am going to drop the car off at Hanks and Enterprise will come pick it up for me while I take my car home....YEA!!!

 

[disneydudette1]

Good idea Heidi...you don't want to be "house poor". You are becoming a cruise addict and a dis board addict!!

Jeanne-don't you dare bring a cold into the stateroom!!! You know how sick I get! Remember when Eunice went to WDW with a cold and how sick I got???


Another day at work! Boy do I have an awful bunch of associates...there are at least 2 I would love to be rid of!! The whitch was acting out today...and I thought I would have a good week with one on vacation!

Wow...we are down to 4 of us??? Susan, Heidi, Sandy and Jeanne! Gee whiz! Does this mean I have to post more? Gee, by Wednesday or Thursday it will only be Susan, Heidi and me! Then it will be poor Susan talking to herself!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Yep, Bonnie, you have to post more. Sorry. Your poor work. I guess you should fire all of them and start fresh. Maybe hire a few more Randi's.

I am o- d-ing on Vitamin C. Don't want it to get worse. Graci had a very runny nose this week. ICK!

Well Susan if you have to be busy then now is perfect. That way you won't realize that you are left here. But.....that is only in body as you will be with us in spirit.

 

[Schrolls]

I am busy but today it FRIDAY! AND, Turner is spending tonight at a friend's house! Paul and I have a Friday night for just the two of us!

I will catch up and post more this weekend - not hockey!! Then it picks back up and we start some traveling for 2 weekends in a row. That will help me cope with not having you guys around.

Can you believe the other crew boards the ship tomorrow? I wish I had been on the side of the highway for Denine to pick me up.

Have a great day everyone!
Later!

Hi Everyone!!

Just me. everyone is sleeping. I am on my Dad's laptop. I am paying for the internet so I can look at my bankstatement but this provider the security level is to high so I can't get into my bank grrrrrrrrr. Things are great here in Florida' wish you were all here. The day we got here it rained since then it has been hot. Patty and her family arrive today. Mom Dad and my other sister Linda got here safe and sound on tuesday. We are staying at the Beach Club. It is beautiful. I haven'tposted in a while so I have no idea what is going on. I will try and catch up.

Barb

 

[Boardwalk Garry]

Hi guys! It's me Julie! We also got the internet in the room here at Wilderness Lodge Villas. We are having a good time and the kids seem to be doing very well! Thank goodness! We have a one bedroom and it has really come in handy! The two big kids sleep out in the living room and Brooke is in the pack and play in the walk in closet! LOL! It is like her own bedroom! It has it's own light and door to it, so it works out great for naps during the day and at night. We of course have the bedroom with the whirlpool tub in it! calgon take me away!

The flight down went pretty good too. Makenzie's mouth didn't stop the entire flight! She asked 1001 questions! After we got in that night, Makenzie said her throat and stomach hurt! NICE!!! So yesterday morning I took her to the urgent care for a strep test. It came back negative but they said it was probably a viral thing. (they were going to send out for the longer step test since the first one came back neg. just for precaution). I then said that we are cruising on sat. and with Brooke's heart thing I wanted to make sure that this thing is nipped in the bud. They did put Makenzie on anti's just in case. The Big Guy has a slight cold, but I brought a pharmacy with me so that ok.

SOOOOOO, after all that we started to enjoy our vacation. Went to the MNSSHP last night. We actually stayed until the end! The crowds were pretty small in my opinion. We walked on Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, Mickey's Philharmagic, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Carousel, and DUMBO!!! THe only real wait was for Buzz Lightyear (10mins). They have the "free picture" thing going on so that is a must! The only "downer" was the fireworks! It wasn't WISHES!!!! It was fantasy in the sky. Which is still good, but not wishes.

Garry made it down to the gym yesterday and did his treadmill which was better then me.

We are planning on making it an early night since we will be off to the port in the morning. We are going to see the Animals today and then over to EPCOT.

I'll check back in before we sign off.

 

[Boardwalk Garry]

It's actually Garry now...ta da!!!!! The magic of Disney!

Barb, I don't believe the security settings have anything to do with the internet provider. Your Dad probably has his internet security settings on his laptop set higher than you do at home. You can access those settings on your browser. Just go to Tools-Internet Options-Security. Where it says "Security level for this zone", you can reset the level of security. The default is Medium, which should allow you to access your bank statement. Hope this helps...

Well, off to the parks!

 

[DudetteTwo]

JULIE & GARRY: Glad to see you posted from The Wilderness Lodge. Keep those germs at bay!

I bought my long black gloves & a fancy black shawl. I am planning on borrowing my tiara but Claire's had tiara's for as cheap as $10.00! "All girls are princesses" Still have a little cold & picking up an extra 7 PM - 7 AM shift didn't help my recovery. After working last night I had to take my Mom to the Dr.'s at 11 AM so I got a grand total of two hours sleep. I am planning on going to bed about 5 PM tonight since I have to work four 12's in a row. I forgot to mention I got my pedicure today too along with my eyebrows & upper lip waxed (aren't you glad I shared that?).

I am really READY for a cruise. Can't wait to see you all. Toodles JEANNE

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Wow shocked to see Barb and Julie & Gary post!!! Sounds like so much fun to be on vacation!!! I can't wait for MNSSHP, too bad it is not Wishes but I guess it gives me more time to fill up on rides!!

Quiet thread now...must keep alive!!!

Went looking at more Townhomes, got my hopes up and realized the ones I liked were Condos!!! All the townhomes I am finding that is used go for $250k - $275K Ya shocked me too!!! I will never get a place of my own with how high these prices are!!

HAVE FUN OCTOBER 16th CRUISERS. I will be thinking of you as you are on the ship.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Now, it's Sandy.

What fun to hear from Barb, Julie and Garry. Julie, your night at MNSSHP sounded great. I can't believe you were able to stay till closing with little ones. Did you see Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs? I read that they are at the Snow White ride. I thought it would be so cute to see all of them together. I love the nursery (lol) at the Wilderness Lodge. Made just for you!

Barb, hope that Garry was able to help you get to your bank account. You sounded so frustrated. We can't have that on vacation! What all have you been able to do?

Jeanne, I feel so sorry for you and your hours. You NEED this vacation to rest up! Heidi went looking for a tiara at Clares but ours run 16.00. She is still debating. I don't think that a tiara with a sequin dress will look right for me. What are you wearing for semi formal? I think I am wearing a velvet pantsuit that has a sparkly top. Too casual??????? Last time I wore a long gown and got some stares. Decisions, decisions.

Susan, quite honestly, I am glad that you are travelling the next couple of weeks. That works out great with all of us gone. I feel so guilty leaving you! Enjoy your Friday night alone. I always loved it when the girls had their sleepovers!

Well, tomorrow Stacey gets off the ship and the rest of you get on. Have a wonderful time. Have a bushwacker and think of us!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Question for Julie or Barb, how are the nights in FL? Are they chilly? Should we plan on jeans for MNSSHP? Heidi wants to fly in shorts and then go on to the party. I am wondering if it is jeans weather at night.

 

[disneydudette1]

Great to hear from Barb, Julie & Garry! What a terrific surprise! Maybe you all will run into each other in the park. I am so jealous but heck...ONE WEEK TO GO!!!!!!!!!

I seem to get nothing done at work...just the bare minimum...my phone never seems to stop! CHarts are piling up! People unhappy. Bosses day tomorrow...one card and gift today from the Sr. nurse. I guess nobody else likes me. I guess because I expect them to do their job right.

Gee...are you all sure you want me to post. All I do is complain about work. I need to win the lottery!

So much to do...start trying on the clothes to take. What a chore!! Takes about 5 mins to squeeze into the capri's I got...is it worth it? Nah!

Sandy-my semi is not very fancy...I have the choice between a filmy black skirt at a top or a not so little black dress. I will take both and decide that night. Heck after all the eating I may have to wear a paper bag! We can glue some sequins on it!

 

[Boardwalk Garry]

Hi guys! One more post then off to the ship!

Sandy, the weather was perfect for the party. We wore shorts and tee shirts. The kids wore their costumes. BUT if the party was last night, we would have worn jeans and sweatshirts! It got pretty chilly last night! I say check out the weather before you leave to see what the temp. will be like. It's warm and sunny today!

Well, gonna go! See you all next Sat.!!!!! I'll have a bushwacker for you all! Remember us at 5pm tonight.... sailing away!

 

[disneydudette1]

Here is the link for the port...Just think they are probably all in the terminal now!!!!

Here is the two palms link to watch them sail by...will anyone be here to watch? I may be!!! If so I will look for you all for a little chat!

Sail by link twopalms


BON VOYAGE!!!!

 

[Schrolls]

Great to hear from Barb & Julie and Garry. Bon Voyage to today's cruisers!! Have a wonderful trip. I'll be thinking about you and how I missed the boat by not being on the side of the highway for Denine and Jerry to pick me up!

Ended up with tickets to the NASCAR race this evening so we will be gone most of the day and all evening. Probably won't get home until after midnight. Turner has never been to a race and Paul and I haven't been in many, many years even though we live in NASCAR country.

Will check back in tomorrow.

Next week's cruisers: you need to be getting packed up and ready to go!

Later!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Well, I guess everyone is on the ship by now. Bonnie, I MIGHT be home so look for me and we will have that chat.

Ok, so I think that I will stay with the pantsuit. It is very dressy just wasn't sure about the pants tho. I just can't believe how many shoes I need to pack. I never heard of bosses day when I worked so my bosses never got a gift. Don't take it to heart. Perhaps, they didn't know about it.

Read on the board that is was rainy yesterday at CC. Poor Stacey. That would ruin my vacation. She left a message on our phone that she was at MGM. Can't wait to actually talk to her.

Susan, sounds like a filled weekend. Have fun. Heidi's boyfriend is all about NASCAR.

Gotta run so I can try and meet Bonnie here around my 3:00. See ya!
