October 27, 2007 - Cruising around the Moon - A Magical All Hallows Eve

[Hockeychic]

I love the zoo haven't been there for years.

I live in what use to be a small town just north of Newmarket right on Lake Simcoe so I am really hoping for some sort of breeze but there was none last night.

OK, so I decided to arrive Friday night for my upcoming cruise...arriving the night before at 7:30PM just seemed a little too rushed and with my in-laws I don't want to push them too much and wear them out before we even leave.

Well I am wasting time this afternoon, not in the mood to work anymore today but I am stuck here till 4:30.......

Are you in Keswick? I had a trailer in a trailer park, right near Sutton, and we used to go over to Keswick for groceries and stuff! And they have the cutest movie theatre. If you head over to Jackson Point, there is a streat named after my Uncle right on the lake, near the ice cream shop, DE GEER.

<------ 1500!

Wahoooooo Congrats on your 1500th post.

Yupper I am in The Wick, and I think I know the street you are talking about. Actually we go into Jackson's Point alot in the summer they have a great Ice Cream Store....

We have lived here for 17 years....seen alot of changes. Not so much a little town anymore. The movie theater has 4 count em......4 screens , we have McDonalds and Canadian Tire When was the last tme you where up my way. We should plan a pre cruise party....hopefully we get a few more Southern Ontarians onboard.

Where is everyone else today......I hate when that workin thing interferes with chatting.

I hope some of the original people who posted are still with us and come back to chat soon.

Hey y'all! I think I'm going to stay with late dinner. Last time I felt rushed to get ready for dinner. I like to stay in port for most of the time allowed. I don't know, have to check itenerary again .

Hope y'all have a good weekend! We are heading to New Orleans tomorrow. DS decided he didn't want to do karate tournament and since he's only 6 I don't want to force the issue. I've learned to pick my battles carefully! Now I get to go to LUSH and shop! If you haven't heard of it, it's a girlie store with great bath products. Go to LUSH.com and check them out! I think there is a store in Toronto, so you may be familiar with them!

About posting pics, I can't add attachments yet so I don't know what to do! If anyone has suggestions, feel free to give them to me!

Vital, Lush is at Scarborough Town Centre, 5 mins away from me! It smells great in there reminds me of Basin at DTD. Is it cheaper? And do they have a mask for dry skin, lol?

Kim, last time we were up that way was in 2003 when we sold the trailer to pay down the mortage and buy into DVC. Traded the vacation spot that came with chores for the one that need a flight to get to, lol.

[vital]

They have potions for all skin types! I like the bubble bars the best!

Hey Kim2 and Penny - I'm recognizing some of the towns you are speaking of... My FAVORITE town is Toronto and I normally take the train there and I love going through the small towns. I live on the other side of the bridge about an hour's drive north of Detroit. I've been to Windsor a couple of times for the Casino (much nicer, IMHO than the ones in Detroit) and once, in my MUCH younger days, we went to Danny's -

Or... am I recognizing the towns because we cut through Canada via Port Huron and come out at Niagra on the states side? My Dad's wife is from a small town in NY about an hour from Niagra Falls.

This was a really busy week at work (as you can tell by the lack of posts), a new underwriter started, the one one I hired before her, I fired... and I found out that I have to go back to the Dr. on Monday morning and the procedure has to be repeated...

Paula - I'm still late seating and I was thinking of switching, but my sitter works until 6:30 each night and never eats before 7:30 - 8:00 so I think I'm staying with late. Our son's are the same age... maybe we could link together!

Well, I'm off to clean and do some laundry - Noah is going to a PJ Party tonight so I'm going out with a friend! Have an awesome weekend!!

 

[Hockeychic]

Hey Kim1 you and DS will be close enough for a pre cruise party?????

Pixie dust for you on Monday Hope all goes well

Hey Babs

I use to live in Scarborough which is a borough of Toronto....moved from the city when DS was born.

I think I am going to see Pirates today.....DD has already seen it, DS has to work and DH is doing some work around the house,...I have never gone to the movies meself but I think I will give it a try

Have a great weekend all.

kimmie - that sucks, darn body! I also work until 6:00 each night with an hour communte, so normally eat at 7:30 or so. I really didn't want to risk having the latest start time, way too late for me. And I found that late dinner drags on,due to not having another seating afterwards.

Kim, we are seeing pirates tomorrow night! Ok, What HS did you go to? Lol

Vital, I am going to Lush this week, checked out the website and the prices are not so bad, and the scents are way better Than Body Shop (way to smelly.)

Babs, we are in the heatwave right now, we are suppose to get some cooler air later in the week, yeah.

 

[Hockeychic]

I went to Birchmount. Wanted to go to Porter, cause I was so close to the boarder but couldn't go. I great up between Victoria Park and Pharmacy off the Danforth.

How about you?

 

[pjpoohbear]

I went to Laurier C.I. on the Bluffs, down the road from there, small world. Did track and field at Brichmount for years.

[Hockeychic]

We use to party big time at the bluffs....missed alot of afternoon classes.

 

[pjpoohbear]

We had a trail to the bluffs right from the back of our football field, lol. And the fench was opened to allow for easy passage. lol.

Kim2 Count us in.... it's not a bad drive at all!

Kim2 and Penny - When you all go see Pirates this weekend, stay until all the credits are done! There is an added surprise in the last 10 seconds!

I'm going to see "The Devil Wears Prada". I'm excited.... I love movies! Ok, I really love the popcorn!

Babs - you were working late... what do you do for a living?

See ya all later!!

 

[Hockeychic]

Wahooo......cruise party!!!!!

Bummer just got back....and didn't stay till the credits where done.....please PM me and let me know what happened....

 

[Babs417]

"Vital, I am going to Lush this week, checked out the website and the prices are not so bad, and the scents are way better Than Body Shop (way to smelly.)"

I just got back! Spent 104 bucks! Got some presents though. You have to get the Flothy Glitter bubble bar! Oh MY GOODNESS! Lavender and Vanilla! It almost made me fall asleep in the tub, yes I've already used some! Don't be put off by the glitter, it's only on the outside so there's not so much stuck on you. Also try the Black Pearl bath bomb. It's one of my favs. I hope you enjoy the products as much as I do!


"Paula - I'm still late seating and I was thinking of switching, but my sitter works until 6:30 each night and never eats before 7:30 - 8:00 so I think I'm staying with late. Our son's are the same age... maybe we could link together!"

Sounds good to me! Last cruise we were on I felt rushed to get ready and be at dinner by 630. Then we were done with dinner early and when I put DS in the kids club, I was almost ready for bed! LOL! I was full and tired by then.


Have any of you cruised this time of year before? If so, how was the weather in the Carribean? I've only cruised in July. I'm used to the heat, it was 100 here today!

Wahooo......cruise party!!!!!

Bummer just got back....and didn't stay till the credits where done.....please PM me and let me know what happened....

Ok, I'll put it in white text so not to spoil it for others....



Remember the dog was being chased by the natives on the island after Jack and the others escaped? Well, the last 10 seconds show the dog is in the seat where Jack was... decorated with bones, grinning ear to ear.... the natives now worshiping him...
