Sept 17 2005 Magic - am i alone on the ship?

[getoutthere]

Hello
Still having problems with the computer so we are getting a new one hopefully next week. I have to hurry up and post before it quits on me again. No one here got sick after the cruise, fortunately. I have started back to the gym to try and lose some of this weight I keep saying I need to get off.
We are looking at another cruise next year but it will probably be with RCI. The Freedom of the Seas looks like it could be a really fun ship. Steve and I are going to go to Palm Beach Shores, Florida for a long weekend in November for a vacation with out the kids. I am really looking forward to that.
Hope everyone is doing well. Talk to you later.

Hi I'm just posting to keep us on the first page of posts. Nothing new here! I hope everything is okay with everyone.

Oh no I went to our website to see pictures and the website is gone! Oh no, does that mean it is all over!

Lorra

Oh No website is gong. I am guessing Jen is working on it and that is why we cannot access it right now.

RIGHT???? Jen help us out here. You are being absent bc you are busy working on our website. RIGHT?????

I hope everyone who has not posted has made it home safely and they are all very healthy. We are still sick in our house. We are starting to shake it off but it has taken some time.

Okay I am going to check back later or maybe tomorrow to see about our website. Finish up Jen.

Hey all! I've been covered at work and home, but getting ready to leave for a wedding in N. California in abt 40 minutes.

I was there for the Nana drama, and I have to say, it all happened so quick, I doubt even Jen the stalker could've gotten it on camera, but then again...

Anyway, Sue, I too was amazed at your waiter -- I saw you get up and try the Heimlich and next thing I know here comes your waiter and then a bunch of relieved laughter. I think it all happened in less than 30 seconds. It was amazing.

Hope eveyone is readjusting. I think the vacation must've been better than I thought b/c I've been on some kind of productivity high at work for the last two weeks -- which is great considering what all is going on.

I sure miss the "constant" comaraderie with all of y'all -- it really made the whole vacation experience.

And Missy, I mean Frank, I mean Lola. I have the picture! And we are all smiling!

Hello all!
Yes, I am working on the website. I completely organized all the files and then realized I had to create individual links for everything or nothing worked! Sooooo I unorganized it. I am with you all, I just can't see getting rid of the website, but since I pay for it every month I have to get creative...soooo... I am going to use it like some of them out there for all the trip reports (wdw, cruise 05, universal, etc.) that way we will always have our special place. I am working on all the pics from the cruise and a trip report (that is the format I will put them in). As I come across cute ones I will shoot them your way, but if you see ones you want let me know (or right click and hit save as....)

Sorry everyone is sick. I am exhausted. I have been trying to hide out from the world but it is not working. Tomorrow I go with my mom for a massage and lunch to celebrate her birthday. Should be fun but honestly I would rather be home with my blinds down. Can you imagine me unsocial!

It was so fun to meet everyone. It is amazing that even though you talk and know what everyone looks like you still get new insights. It was great.

I haven't been getting updates from here so I didn't know anyone had been logging in. I will be better.

This was supposed to be a margarita tasting. It wasn't. There were three shots of tequilla and two tiny margaritas. We had a good time laughing although it was a lecture on tequilla.

group photo (too bad it was after winmo, 10yrann and deege left and before sillymemaw, ksumom and lisa got there)

Waiting for the room tour

Finally, my cute kids

I will do more next time.
And next week, we can do a whole posts on Wendy's many swim suits. (and since she is out of town, she can't say anything in her defense. You know she would just say "I look d**m good in all of them!" )

DH asked me last night if I wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise...I said well duh...of course! Not shure when he is thinking about it...but maybe next year since we are waiting to go on the Disney cruise in 2007. I am thinking that the Alaskan cruise may be without the kids Oh, was that a smile! We have to get these things figured out because we are wanting to have another baby...and baby needs to be planned around vacations!

I hope everyone had a good week. Ours is getting better since everyone is on the road to recovery! For once, we do not have a busy weekend! I think we are going to take the boys to get pumpkins on Saturday..oh ya, we have a going away dinner tonight..but I think that is all. Gotta get some work done

Hi everyone!

I was up late last night working on my scrapbook of the cruise, thinking about all of you!

Jen, thanks for the photos. Can't wait to see the new website features! I have been checking daily. I always have kind of a glazed look on my face in your photos, . I think I am shocked that I am in a photo since I am always taking photos of everyone else. I have some more that I need to send your way, too. LOVE the photo of your kids! I saw a stack of photos that you had put aside at Shutters, they were all SO good! I was going to buy the one of us all at CC but I couldn't find it anywhere again. Did you or Trisha buy it? We had a cute family photo that I put aside but when I went back it was no where to be found. I am still mad about that!

Jen, you had some spiffy clothes yourself! I loved your red flowered sundress and you were simply stunning on Formal night. I SO can see you as a Brownie Leader, those will be some very lucky girls!!!

Trisha & Steve- I have a cute one of our little guys lounging on the verandah at Sweet Sue's party. I was send it to Jen or PM your email address to me.

Lorra- Did you end up ordering any photos from the Stingray City excursion? I decided to buy a couple- $30 and you just get a CD. I will let you know if they are any good- still waiting. They would not email a thumbnail of the photos like the guy told me he would.

Emily- Thanks again for all the information about the suites.

Has anyone convinced their kids to be a pirate for Halloween? My DS insists that he has to be Darth Vader.

Wendy, hope you and DD have a wonderful trip this weekend!

Jenny (Donald's Gal), how is the studying going?? We miss your insights!

I STILL am not done with laundry from our trip.

Have a great weekend!

Has anyone convinced their kids to be a pirate for Halloween? My DS insists that he has to be Darth Vader.

I know the feeling! Christina keeps telling everyone that she's being a BAT for Halloween. I have NO idea where this came from - and I'm beginning to think if I don't find a bat costume we'll have temper tantrums and tears for Halloween. Every time I even mention pirate she tells me "No, Mommy, pirate is for the BOAT!"

Hey all! Where else besides Colorado can it be soooo hot, even in shorts on Saturday and 10 inches of snow on the ground on Monday. Thank goodness it was so hot or we would have 20+ inches. As it was all we got was rain all day yesterday. The problem is it is soooo wet that it is taking down the big trees that still have their leaves on them. We are tree starved as it is in Denver, so we can't afford to lose the ones we have . I keep going out and hitting ours with a broom. That, I have to say is soooo fun! All the snow falls on your head. Weheeee!

Anyway, still working on the website/pics. Do you want me to post the pages as I go or wait until I am done?

Hope everyone is good. Don't forget to post every now and again.

I was also thinking of putting a page on how to get ahold of each other and one for updates (what we are doing now). How do you feel about the addresses being on their. It will be quite deep in the website. (ie Home vacation page, FFC (small icon on Disney cruise page) then choose keep in touch, then that page). If not, I could send them out via e-mail but we would have to keep up with them. Let me know your preference and send me your addresses. Christmas is coming

 

[Tammy1]

Christmas is coming

Jen, only you would bring that fact up!! But your right it is....and bring on the pics

Hope everyone is doing well, and looking forward to your next vacation WE ARE

Take Care everyone

 

[jennat]

It's not all done but some of the pictures are posted. Click on the picture of the FFCers on the first page. Let me know if you see them and what you think.

 

[PrincessLKMiller]

The pictures are great! I can't believe you got one of me sitting down! That rarely ever happened! I hope everyone is doing well. We have been trying to NOT be busy...but you know how that goes! Our first anniversary is Friday. Mom is keeping the boys ALL NIGHT! Then Saturday we have a work party, so she may get them again! Oh...did I sound excited??

How do you put a picture in your signature? I thought I was pretty computer savy...but apparently not!

 

[Tammy1]

Jen, That was Awesome!!!!!! Your a natural at this sort of thing...keep it coming

 

[rotary2808]

Lisa, go to a website like photobucket.com and register with them. Then you just download the pic you want from your computer or a cd and it comes up with 3 different links. Copy the last one, the url one I think, and then just come here and paste it into you signature.

Emily

 

[jennat]

Lisa,
E-mail me a pic and I will do it for you. I am registered with Photobucket and it takes a while to get signed up. I will do it for you and send you the URL.

 

[rotary2808]

Jen, the new website looks great. One thing though: you broke rule #1: NO PICTURES OF EMILY ARE ALLOWED TO BE TAKEN AT ANY TIME.

There were some I knew about, but, you really are a stalker aren't you? Are you sure you aren't employed by Disney as a ship photographer? I know I didn't see any of those in Shutters.

Emily

 

[deege24]

Yes I said, That's my business!!!! And yes it is my business if I went back to page one and read all the post again. Maybe I was bored or maybe I just wanted to relive those moments before they actually happened. But anyway hello to all and I hope all are in the best of health. I keep coming back to peek at this board to see when you guys and gals will be cruising Disney again so I can book when you'll book. Although I didn't spend very much time with you'll I can tell you'll are a fun group and it would be my pleasure to cruise with you'll again. Now comes the hardest part of my day,,, unpacking my luggage,, reading the post had me thinking I was about to leave in a day or two, I got so excited reading them I actually packed (lol). I hope to see more pics. of you guys here soon. Ok all,, stay healthy, wealthy and wise or at least choose two that apply to you. As for myself, i'm healthy and wise. "Oh" but I have a wealth of friends in you'll.

Just posting again to see my picture in my signature...thanks for the help Jen!

hi everyone,

well we finally made it back. been home three days now but the kids are still totally out of it with jet lag - their favourite time of the day is now 2 a.m. to about 6:30 and it is now midday but they are still both asleep (and i am only just up)...

rest of the trip went really well - although both kids caught some sort of cold on the ship and have a stubborn lasting cough - Nick got it from the kids club and shared it with the family.

it was great meeting you all. it sort of makes it feel more special to keep running into people you know as you wander around the ship. it was certainly a pleasure cruising with you all.

Karen i am sorry to hear that your foot was broken - i hope it heals quickly, that is not a good souvenir.

anyway must run i think i hear stiring...
