My brain is officially mush
So Hi to everyone.

Ingrind hang in there and feel better
I'm pretty wiped today, can't even start to think of packing or planning at the moment.

Have to leave in less than an hour for volleyball practice and promised friend I would walk with her during that 1&1/2 hr....fffhhhuuu WHAT WAS I THINKING???? Helping DD11 with homework. Need to email ALL 7 teachers tonight to remind of the abscence and request work assignements......pant.....pant....pant...
OH MAN now DD's are fighting......gotta go. Will try to check back in later.

Quick hello before I'm off again!

Ingrid - Glad the ear is feeling better! You certainly have a full day tomorrow. Is girl guides like girl scouts? We are looking at joining Daisy scouts.

Dennis - I don't know how Chrystina puts up with you! Another job offer - in Alaska! Or maybe she has the right idea keeping the husband at a safe distance...away from the credit card statements...

Didi - My house is a wreck as well - suitcases open and things thrown about. And my mom is coming up Friday to stay the night. I just realized I should give the house a good cleaning. Oh man.

More later.

Julie

Don't forget to stop at the post office to have them hold your mail.

Ah..that's one thing I don't have to do! My bro-in-law (and his friendly pitbull) has graciously offered to house-sit and that includes reading..err..I mean, picking up our mail.

....And I don't think the cats will ever forgive me for this.

Any of the Barney Brood's kids been requested to do a trip report for school? I just had Meet the Teacher night tonight, and this is what Channi's homework will be during the trip. I'm thrilled! I can do MY trip report and she can do HERS!

 

[mcentee]

Okay, All I'm still up. Almost done packing, I have to find my Mickey Mouse carry on.

I think I stressed the DH, he just grabbed a Red Stripe Beer out of the fridge.

I'm like a drill sargent, move it, move it, move it. Pack it, pack it, pack it.

I think I'll be done by this Saturday.

I have to go to the RMV tomorrow night and renew my mug shot. It expires while I'm on the cruise.

Wishing you all a good night. I'll try to go to bed, but I'm in the groove now so I'll keep going until I drop. Deanna, it will be at 10:25PM.


Group hug.

Didi

Ditto, for Patrick.

Feeling any better?

Hi All,

Let me say: Thank you, Thank you, Thanks you...

I only had a couple of pages to catch up on after I left work.

Jamie: Now you can hold your mail VIA the internet. No need to go into the post office.

Cleaned out the piggy bank. Well, did it a week ago. Labeled all the coins for exchange at the bank, $111. Kept 2 rolls of quarters for laundry ($20) plus $30+ in singles for room service tips, etc. Yippee!!!

I need to check my Disney rewards too. I may have an extra $5 or so on my card. Thanks to my cars brake job for the extra spending money. I think I've got $177 on my rewards card already.

Shirts: I added "Cruisn' with the Mouse" on the bottom of the shirt instead of Mickey. I should have the bundle by the 21st.

Well, take care & night all!!

Wow you all are too much!

To the one that posted the spreadsheet before is there anyway you can update and repost? Last night when I tried to pull it the links did not work.

As far as the documentation questions I am planning on having the friendly cast member tell me what to do. We plan to be at the port early so that shouldn't be a problem.

We have not even begun to pack. I have explored looking for a good list. I am REALLY going to try and pack as light as possible.

So, here's a thought. : The dry dock changes mention that the stingray stuff will be available at Castaway Cay at the end of September. Well, we'll be there on September 30th. Is that end enough? Yet, we weren't given the option of that excursion. Do you think we'll be a "trial run" for them to work out any bugs before guests start to pay for the experience? Or, do you think this is included for everyone at CC?

You know, I think you're on to something there. I wonder if one could ask about it after we board the ship?

 

[smilingmouse]

Karenb--

I'm registered with several mystery shopping compainies. I do most of my work for Gapbuster and Corporate Research International. Which companies do you contract with? Do you like working for them?

Dennis--I was wondering the same thing. I think we decided on 9/23. Can't remember what time, though (thoughts?) We're m,eeting at the WL, right? Are we eating there too? or venturing somewhere else?

Larry

Larry - Here's the current link http://www.umsl.edu/services/public_affairs/groupsort.pdf

If I'm missing anyone or if I've messed up your info, let me know.

Ingrid - we're doing a type of trip report/journal having her take her own pics and keep notes. Hope you and Chantel are feeling better.

Julie - Found out I didn't need to be a Leader, so we're signing up for Daisies

David - just used the web tonight to put USPS hold

Didi - have had to use Charbucks drive thru last couple of mornings for the extra expresso shots. work's been grand lately but in one week vacation officially starts just have to get through DDs birthday and get packed.

All those packed and packing, just a mini-poll, do you put a little bit of everyone's stuff in each bag just in case airline "misplaces" your luggage? or do you just put your faith in God and the baggage handlers that it will all arrive safely and pack bag per person? just wondering 'cause I'm still having to lug wipes and dipes and don't know if I need to mix things up or be able to just have a suitcase of supplies and trust that they'll arrive.

thanks

Didi- GASP! You will never make it. You probably have your DH posting for you. And you are REALLY in bed snoring away! (and giggling)

Okay east coasters, it sounds like we will have Didi right where we want her for the morning. She is gonna be a little groggy from the "late" night. So now's your chance to get that early post win! Come on now! You can do it! Kick her while she's down!!!!!! Uh, sorry, the competitiveness is coming forth again!

bpicard9- I would also like another post to your spreadsheet like Texas Larry. I tried yesterday to get the link and it wouldn't let me go there either! Thanks. I want to bring one with me.

I didn't realize you were leaving on Tuesday, Dennis! How exciting is that?! That means we are almost done chatting with the big group. How sad is that!? Help! I'm having posting withdrawals already!

Ingrid- You are going to be so wiped out by the time the cruise is here. They are always going to find you on the top deck sunbathing and sleeping and not moving. We will have to occasionally poke at you to make sure you are still breathing! Don't worry, we will occasionally spray sunscreen on ya too. Here's the conversation over your sleeping body........
Deanna says to the group while staring over the lifeless body of Ingrid who hasn't moved in days........"Gee, guys, how long can someone really go without water?!"

Have a good night. I'm sure you are zonked by now, Didi! deanna

 

[DHMcEntee]

The OCD Fairy has sprinkled pixie dust on Didi!
It's 11:00 PM, 2 hours after her usual bedtime, the house is being turned upside down to find a carry on bag with mouse ears, and nobody's going to get any peace until she finds it!!!!!!!!!

Oh the horror!!

Oh the humanity!!!!

Last time we saw it?

Yup, you guessed it...
same time last year,
when we returned from WDW.

But wait!!!!

She found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OK, OK,..... calm down..... I'm OK.....

Ahem....

Please disregard the above panic attack.

Hey Deanna,
When you are spraying me with sunscreen, can you hook me up to a feeding tube too? I bet that chocolate souffle will have just the right consistency to go down very nicely.

My ear is hurting like a sun-of-a-gun again. Maybe it's just nerves and tension. Maybe I need to dig into my DH's muscle relaxants...or maybe something stronger.

I found this great travel journal for kids! I'm printing it out right now and putting it in a scribbler for Channi.

http://www.themouseforless.com/downloads/kids/journal/journal2.shtml

I'm just soooo thrilled that the teacher cooperated and allowing Channi to actually treat this as an education experience! (and also one less thing for me to worry about) She will learn about geography, and travel..and of course, the most important educational experience...exactly HOW many Mickey bars CAN she eat in a day??

Yes, Girl Guides is like Girl Scouts up here in Canada. Actually, it's rather funny though, because we have Boy Scouts here in Canada, which girls can join if they want to, and they have Girl Guides, but boys can't join it. Whoohoo (Wahoo!)..now that's GIRL POWER!

 

[cujobugs]

Yip, east coasters, rumor has it she is still awake! Get her while she's down. Good luck. Deanna
