OK, I have been talking drinks on the big board and it looks like I should be talking abt them here. I've been posting on a thread abt fruit juices as mixers and this rum vs. that rum, etc. Missy -- so how big a cooler, what do you mix the drinks in? Where do you get the booze? Do you bring glasses? What else should I know? I was thinking Parrot Bay and Crystal light would be easy and yummy. Are you taking the Disney shuttle? I know you're at the Hyatt Friday with us, should we go on a B-EE-RR-U-N? I'm the only one who drinks in our family and last year I just bought on the boat. Didn't drink much, didn't have friends b/c I was too shy to post last year! And Jen, that is why I didn't post -- I was a little freaky abt "signing up" afraid I'd get lots of junk mail and stuff, and that I wouldn't have anything to say since I was a first time cruiser. Oh well, I love posting these days, as you all know! So, strangers, please talk to us.
We currently have late seating, but I think we will try to switch. Last year we were able to switch to early and it worked out great for the kiddo and us. I would like PLA rotation, too, b/c Parrot Cay is my fav. restaurant and that way you get it 3x and I don't really like Animator's Palate (too loud), but that's another story most of you have heard...
Anyway, fill me in on the cooler, etc. stuff. Also, where & how do you pack those darn princess dresses? And what do you think abt the over-door shoe holders? If you have them where did you get and what do you recommend? What abt plug-in air freshner? Nightlights? Anything else we should be talking about? Obsessing abt? I do it oh so well....
I nixed the cupcake idea and ordered iced cookies to look like beach balls and ONE cupcake to put the candles in. I'm much better at ordering than making.
Oh yeah, at our house, DH mows until August when his allergies kick in then we hire one of the neighbor kids. He (DH) is extremely particular abt the lawn and I such at such things, so...Also, I'm not much of a cook. He's great but isn't around all that much b/c of his job on the railroad. But, we both work crazy hours so don't feel too bad abt having others do some of our household jobs. DD's rocking babysitter does most of the laundry, but I do quite a bit too. I pick up the house every night before bed, but that's not too bad with only one child and a DH who is around only intermittently. But, I can't plan or do much outside of working hours w/o the kiddo b/c of him being on call all the time -- means I don't have much alone time and am alone with our DD a lot -- Not complaining, I love it, but it's sometimes a frustrating schedule. We can't plan weekend activities with others if they don't understand that DH can get called out at anytime, etc. I end up doing more with my single mom friends than with my married friends -- at least on the weekends. So, a lot of rambling to say I don't mow! No way I could get the lines straight enough to satisfy my DH.
Well, I better go see how the fruit juice friends are doing.
.you know what I mean....you know who you are....Drinks anyone?? 
I do all the weed eating which takes just as long. We have a riding lawn mower which is not that hard to do... but I appreciate everything that she does, hard or not.
maybe drinking a beer on the riding mower would be better, what do you think Jen?
