Set Sail on the SS Last Word Cruise Ship

[bfeller]

Elaine, my new endearing name for you and Kim are Bracelet Brats, but if that makes you upset then I can call you Bracelet Buddies. Well, I will call you that until the two of you start fighting again.

Hi everyone. Thank you for all the anniv wishes. Having it on NYE is kinda like a 2 day thing since we get off work today. Plus all this football.... What more can a guy ask for?

Happy anniversary Beth!!!

Kimmie, thank you for the pics last night. You certainly know how to keep your Padawan happy. Ahhhh..... BTW, just so everyone knows, I didn't request pics of Kim for a very specific reason. The ladies I did request would be cabana girls on the ship. You know, to keep the room tidy, put the mints on the pillows, and all those other things you have your cabana boys doing. I don't put Kimmie in that category. I wouldn't even think to ask her to do things like that. *But*, that doesn't mean I wouldn't ask for pics of her. I just didn't want to put her in the same category as the cabana girls. So, no, Kimmie has not been dumped. No need to go looking for Apolo or anything. You can stay right here in the super-suite with me.

And just b/c I can, here are the pics of our ship one more time.

Nancy, thanks for the thought, but I'll pass bingo-gal off to Shep.

Since we're getting all the bowl teams in our posts, be sure to notice the logo to the right of my pic & shacky award. I just have to wait till Friday to see my team play.
Go 'Canes!!!

I didn't skim but that was hours and hours ago.....but I did get a letter

Oh no... we need to make a promise right now.... the Ohio State fans and the Miami fans are NOT allowed to rub it in whomever wins! Deal? I just hate doing that... I had no idea we had someone who would be rooting for another team other than Ohio State (based on location only).

Betty, no worries, I was teasing but forgot to put the winking smilie in. I figured you would never place me in the same category as Kimmie though

Sherry, I hope you are feeling better soon! I definitely know the feeling of not wanting to get dressed up to go out. That was why I stayed home last night and Luis went out. Worked best for the both of us.

I have been seeing these last word things for a while, what are they?

 

[dizneenut]

Well, I decided to stay home, and DH took 3 of the boys to his mom & dad's. He took some tupperware to bring back some food!
I think the stress/worry about Julian, the holidays, etc. have just got me feeling bummy. My tummy is all in knots and I just didn't feel like getting dressed and being around a bunch of people. Don't get me wrong, I love my inlaws to death, just felt like being home today.
I also got motivated enough to get the Christmas decorations down. All but the tree. I'll have DH take that apart when he gets home. The boxes are still down here, though. Haven't got the motivation to take them up to the attic yet! LOL

Deal. No rubbing in or anything.
Just FYI, I'm not one of those die-hard fan types. I like U of M b/c I was born not far from Miami & lived there for a while. I still have relatives in S FL, too. It's just too bad they don't live closer to Orlando.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Im baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! We had an uneventful trip home. I

got to meet another Dis buddy today, Kinlaw6450!!!

The trip was nice and so was the Swan but I dont think we will be staying there again. Dh had such a problem with all the down things in the room that his sinuses and chest are still messed up. I however loved the down pillows and duvet.

Our New Years plans were completely rained out. It stormed wickedly last night so we couldnt go watch the fireworks. We hung out in the room and woke the kids at midnight to say Happy New Year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL MY YAYA SISTERS AND BROTHERS!!!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BETH AND JAY!!!!

 

[dizneenut]

Welcome back!!
Sorry your NY plans were rained out.
So glad you got to meet Kami!

 

[Kama89]

Well, things are slowly returning to normal around here... inlaws have gone home, and I'm slowly getting the decorations down, and the house back in order. Had to stop and watch a little ice skating extravaganza for a couple of hours though...and wouldn't ya know it.... I bet you'll never guess who was there!?

*Kim opens the door to the gym and peeks out* So I'm not dumped?!? Hmmm..... so the cabana girls and guys JUST tidy rooms, and mint the pillows huh? Mmmmhmmm.... ya, I'm just SURE that's all those cabana boys do around here. Riiiiight!! Oh...and I imagine they wash the windows and swab the deck too huh? Well... I suppose I'll give him the benefit of the doubt this time, but have to say I was definitely beginning to feel some major "dumpo" vibes in the air last night. *Sniff sniff* Well... I'm glad to hear I was wrong then.

CaliforniaBraceletBratLeatherWearingLovesApoloDork

Mwahahaha... Wonder if I could replace my Kama89 license plate with that instead? I like that!

Betty is giving Cam over to Paige then? Well okay.... probably for the best... they sound like a match made in heaven. Hmmm... when should the first date be Jennifer?

I figured you would never place me in the same category as Kimmie though

This is true. Well.... maybe .... oh... I dunno Elaine...you might possibly find yourself in the same catagory with me..... IN YOUR DREAMS!!!!
Bwhahahahahaha!!!! Hee hee hee ho ho ho!!! Gawd, I crack myself up!!

Brad, The Last Word threads are the brilliant brain child of our dear friend jldriscoll. Once upon a time, she spent an entire evening painstakingly slaving over a thread. It was very important to her that she get the words JUST right, because the message that she wanted to convey was a very important one. The thread subject read: WHO GETS THE LAST WORD? The body of her text carried a powerful message....it read: ME? The rest is history.

WELCOME BACK KAREN!!!!!! Missed you sis!!

I like that Kim

I'm not sure I could explain what the Last word means...... It's just so many things.

Given that it's winter time...lets make the first date in CA 'K!

I should warn you....Paige in all her 8 year old innocents informed me, when I told her Emily was going to live with me forever, that she would be "living with my boyfriend" I about croaked inside....but was cool on the outside....explaining....THAT"S NOT SOMETHING YOU PLAN TO DO WHEN YOU ARE 8!!!!!!!!!


Gee Kimmy....who ever was skating?

 

[Lars624]

LOL Jennifer!! Your girls are too funny! Dylan was telling me that when he grows up he wants to be a Daddy but he doesn't want to get married or get a job.....eeeek!! My DS wants to be a Deadbeat Dad!!!! I really had higher expectations for my children. Luckily my older DS wants to be a lawyer...he can bail out his brother

lvs_eeyore-I'm glad you had a nice trip & that you got to meet some Disers. It's a shame you NYE plans got rained out though.

How you feeling tonight Elaine?

Eeeeeeek!!!! ROTFL! Well... sure hope she doesn't mind a man that refuses to put his clothes away, can't even make a piece of toast without tearing the kitchen to shreds, will sit in front of a video game for hours on end, and thinks watching Spongebob is the heighth of sophisticated entertainment. Oh wait... that's my husband I just described... actually Cameron's a pretty cool guy. Likes jazz, the theater, WDW, carries a 4.0 GPA and can't understand for the life of him, how his friend Jacob can stomach Spaghettios.

My DS wants to be a Deadbeat Dad!!!! I really had higher expectations for my children. Luckily my older DS wants to be a lawyer...he can bail out his brother

ROTFL!! OMG... too funny!!

Gee Kimmy....who ever was skating?

Ummm... Brian Boitano.

 

[helenabear]

Evening all! I am doing much better actually I sound awful (you all would just about die laughing at my voice I think). The good news though is when I sound terrible is when I am usually past the worst of it all and am on the road to getting better. I do think this Zicam stuff I have used really helps. I sort of started feeling off late Sunday night and Monday was when I knew I was coming down with a cold. So out came the Zicam and what is usually a time of year where I can get a terrible cold was squished to a few days of feeling bad. I just wish it hadn't been on NYE. But oh well... it's only a night really

Anyway, welcome back Karen! So good to see you! I am sorry you got rained out but your night sounds nice just the same. I could also see what you mean about the down causing trouble for sinuses/allergies. I don't have trouble with that (that I am aware of) so I was in love with the beds! I wish I could stay there every time just for them. As long as I have a foam/synthetic pillow I am good

Nice explanation Kimmie! I think that the Last Word has evolved into just a great place to share our lives. We have wonderful support here and a lot of fun! So Brad, I know it is a vague explanation but really it is just a place to talk and enjoy each other's company Anyone is welcome

Jennifer & Laura... you both had me dying laughing right now with that. Luis lost it with the "deadbeat Dad" comment too! Oh boy... what children say sometimes

UGH... back to work tomorrow... I don't wanna go.... I enjoyed only working 10 days in December, how the heck am I supposed to work about 20 this month

ROTFL!!! That's Paige's dad too!!! SHe'll fit right into your family! SHe's already broken in

Deadbeat Dad!!! LMAO!!!! too funny Laura!!! I was worried you all would thing I was raising a hussy over here....sounds like I'm not the only unfit mother

 

[bfeller]

Well, you Ya Yas are making me laugh tonight. Just love the dead beat dad wanna be. And the description of Cam or his father just about fits any male that I know of.

Well, I am finished with most of the grading. Took me all day. Can't believe how much time it took. I must be doing something wrong. Anyway, I am off to bed early tonight. I was up until 3 this morning and got up at 8:30. Just couldn't sleep in. What is up with that?

Well, my nose is still running so I guess I better go catch it. Ha! Ha!

 

[Snow White]

[bfeller]

Welcome Michelle, You are now a member of the Ya Yas.

 

[helenabear]

Kim, your post snuck in before mine. I love your description of Tom! Truly wonderful... Luis shows a few of those qualities as well. Now Cam on the other hand... I admit, he is one cool kid

Betty, I am so sorry it took you so long to get those papers grades. I am sure you did just fine though!

Hey there Michelle... welcome to the Ya Yas Stop by anytime!

Well all I am off to bed. I probably need a little extra sleep just in case for tomorrow but I really am feeling so much better now! I hope you all have a great evening! 'Night all

Oh and I just made some hot chocolate with TONS of marshmallows for anyone who wants some
