Roll Call. Oct.19,02 Cruisers Continued...

[DisneylandDarren]

Hi All,

Diana - You've stayed right next door to where i'll be, that's excellent! Oh I can't wait to see the window (oh you've got me really excited!) also I thought the catagory 11 felt big but the catagory 9's are even bigger, Oh i'm going to be spoiled!!!!

Denine - Unfortunatly I won't be going to WDW after the cruise , I couldn't get any more time off work so I have to fly home straight after the cruise. I am dissapointed as it would have been great to see you again.


Note to all...
Even though I am cruising on January 4th I will always consider myself as part of our October 19th family (as long as you can put up with me anyway!). I love you all!!! and I have posted a couple of times on the Jan 4th cruisers post but I don't think there going to be anywhere near as good as all of you!

Long live October 19th Cruisers!!! - I'm sticking with you!!!

 

[disneydudette1]

I'm so glad you are not defecting Darren!!!! I hope you have just as much fun though! I agree Long Live the October 19th Cruisers!

Denine- Do check! How long has she worked at the store? And ask her which mall?

Very quiet all!!! and I'm the tired one!

 

[Schrolls]

Darren - glad you decided to stay with us. What's not to LOVE?

Garry - rather than a chia pet how about the singing/dancing hamsters? I saw one today that has the COPS theme and I thought of you!LOL SPAM, hhmmm. I thought that was junk email!

Cookie Monsters (you know who you are) - I will not have time for baking this year but thanks to co-workers, there have been plenty in the office!

I took time at lunch today (OK, it was a long lunch) and I made a HUGE dent in my shopping. I might even get cards out by the weekend!!! Darren, I don't know if yours will make it by Christmas but don't despair, I will include you!

Turner says thanks for all the nice comments!!

Hi, Bonnie, Denine, Lori, Sandy, Laurie, Krista, Diana, Jeanne, Julie, Sally, Barb, Darren, Garry, and anybody else I forgot!!!!!!

HI Susan!

It's the Survivor Finale tonight. Gonna be a little quieter around here.

Are we on for tomorrow? I need to get out pretty early tomorrow, so I won't take the gift out of the freezer, but I'll try and check in from work and if it's on, I'll get Ben to bring the stuff in, or just let the kids open them and call me with the datails.

Have a good night and day tomorrow everyone, Lori

That's okay...I've learned a few ways to get into a house over the years! Or, I may just sneak away one night from work and let the neighbors wonder why there is a police cruiser in your driveway!

Sure you don't want to just drop those cookies off?

As far as it stands, we are on for tomorrow at 8:00pm eastern time. IF some of us DO NOT have their gift, PLEASE PLEASE let me know before 5:00 pm eastern. I will get in touch with everyone IF we need to postpone the opening.

Thanks everyone and have a great day!

So lets see...I've now been associated with underwear, beef jerky and now singing/dancing hamsters. How about a singing/dancing hamster, wearing underwear and eating beef jerky?!

Good morning all!
TGIF!!!!!!!!! What a week. Busy day at work yesterday. There is nothing worse than teaching experienced nurses basics that they should already know but don't do... Talk about hostility! Although I did try to keep it light.


Garry It looks like the clipart virus is spreading in your house!!

It was great chatting with Sue and Turner last night!

Not much new between last night and this morning. At least not anyting I would tell you all about! LOL!

Busy weekend coming up with the Christmas party tomorrow night at the local pub. My son's best man will DJ. My friend's husband manages it so all their friends and family have been invited. It should be great fun! I am lucky enough to count myself as an adoptee into their family.

Finishing up Christmas shopping tomorrow...I hope. Mom is the problem and unfortunately I am shopping with her!

Well off to work... nothing too exciting. I can't wait till the gift opening. I haven't recieved mine yet but maybe today. Don't hold it up on account of me. I can't wait any longer for everyone else to open theirs!!! Please continue with it... Please...Please..Please...

 

[Schrolls]

Good morning to everyone. TGIF is right! I'm still on for tonight at 8:00 eastern. Can't wait!!!!

Bonnie - hope you didn't stay up too late again last nght!

Have a great day!

Good morning everyone. I'm at work and brought in the non-frozen gift and left the other home. (Although, I could have left it in my car in the parking lot, it's FREEZING outside.) I've already put in for my dinner break at 6 (8eastern) since we do end up having patients scheduled thru 8pm. I'll let Katie open one from home and I'll do the other here and we'll be in phone contact! Whew. Got the logistics worked out on that one. I'm so excited, but I really, really hope everyone has their packages.
OK, back to work. See you all tonight one way or the other.
Lori

Morning! Out running around like a mad person these last few days. Trying to firm up details on the hockey tournament before we leave town. Only have the pizza to order yet and that can wait until I get back.

We will NOT be home tonight at 8 o'clock BUT you all can still go on without us. Tomorrow am we can open and post immediately upon doing so. I am really sorry (but Greg has a cat scan scheduled for 8:30pm and really CANNOT put it off.)

Let me know what you would like me to do.
THANKS AND SORRY

 

[Denine]

We are on for 8 PM.

Garry: A cop really shouldn't steal

Darren: So close, but so far. I guess we'll have to wait for the reunion cruise.

I am being a baaaaaad mommy! Kaleigh is....gasp....sleeping on her tummy She fell asleep during tummy time and I just let her sleep.

I am making the last batch of cookie dough tonight so we can do the cutouts over the weekend.

Tomorrow, I am meeting a long-time friend at my parents. We have been friends since we were 5 and she now lives in Columbus. She is up to visit her mom. Her youngest child (Mary) is 6 months old and Kim is bringing me a box of clothes she has outgrown, plus her mom is bringing Kaleigh's shower present. I haven't seen my friend in several years.

Cookie monsters------I take offense to that. I know you are talking about ME and a few others. I just want others to know that I eat my broccoli, too.

Had a very busy day yesterday so didn't check in last night. It seemed quiet. Everyone must have been watching Survivor like us.

Glad we get to keep you, Darren. Seems like this wonderful, loving group doesn't know how to share!!!! Oh well, it worked out for us!

I have tons to do today so will check in this afternoon to see what the final verdict will be on the gift opening. I can do it and I don't mind waiting until everyone can do it. Whatever works best for everyone, I am for.

Diana, hope nothing serious re: Greg and his cat scan.

My gosh, Lori. Are you working the WHOLE day? How do you do it?

I wrote my DU agent about the reunion cruise, dates, group discounts etc. We'll see what she comes up with. I have used her twice now and absolutely love her. I invited her on here to talk to us about it. Her name is CathyFromCanada, I believe. She is also a webmaster. I believe it is this community board and a Survivor board. We will anxiously await her reply. I will let you know if she doesn't post here.

Gotta run. Have a wonderful day everyone.
HELLO TO ALL !!!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi Denine, we cross posted. That is really terrific to receive that box of clothes. You will definitely enjoy her visit with both of you being new mommies. Have fun decorating cookies. Think of me! (ok, and Garry, too)

 

[Olando]

Hi Everyone!!

We are supposed to go to a party tonight with some friends of ours. Their daughter is sitting for us and then we are riding together to the party. I told them them that I can't leave until 7:30 (central time) because we are opening our gifts online....you can't imagine the puzzled look that I got !!!

You guys are so fun!!!!

See you later!!

Who said anything about stealing cookies? We thought you might be in trouble since no one answered and the window lock was busted, so we had to go in. Once inside we couldn't find you so we figured you had been kidnapped since we found that note by the cookies. Of course we have to collect evidence from the scene.

We can be very creative in this profession if need be!

 

[Mickey02's Sister]

Hi everyone.....8 ET tonight is good for me....I guess it will be a race to see who can post the fastest then......my computer at home is far too slow for me to win but I'll be there!

Garry: You're giving away a lot of trade secrets there

Julie: You and your great organization reminds me of my daughter....you wouldn't happen to be a teacher would you? We tease her all the time because you can tell she's a teacher in everything she does......we almost raise our hand to speak


Thank you everyone that has sent cards....that is so cool. I've got more cards from cruisers than all the rest. Now....if I could just get a little more organized.....

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I have been forgetting to address the 4Nana thing. I am so with you, Lori! She was soooo excited and then that happened to her. I wish her the best. She seems to be a very loving person.

Thanks to all for the wonderful Christmas cards. They just keep coming. I have seen so many beautiful cards from all of you.

Jeanne, I am still missing you. Where are you?????

The way it sounds, I will be talking to all of you tonight. Until then.....

 

[Schrolls]

When will 8:00ET get here?

 

[jiminyC_fan]

NOT SOON ENOUGH !!!!
