Good luck Robbie...I know you would be a great flight attendant

Agreed Sitting at a desk isn't for everyone.

but with a job like that, what do you do with Draco?

Draco's been at my mom's since my trip last September. Partly cause she doesn't want to give him back (she really loves the lil stinker), partly cause she lives on a farm and it's better for him than being cooped up in my apt whenever I have to go to work. Plus there's other dogs there to play with.

Stopping by to say hi homies
Time sure does fly cause my youngest DS turns 18 tomorrow and seems like yesterday he was a baby lol
Now he is almost taller than me and calls his mom a shrimp and is even taller than his big brother and so glad me and DW has talked both boys into one more trip to the dark side this year

You blink twice and they're grown, notice I didn't say 'gone'. Enjoy your trip.

Blah so ready for this week to be over. Didn't realize how miserable I am at my job till this week. Got an email Monday to do a video interview to be a flight attendant for American Airlines, so wish me luck on that. Gonna try looking more for other opportunities too.

perfect job for a traveler at heart!

I was able to score Morrissey tickets for two different dates for my kids (Hershey, PA & Barclay's NYC). Hate those limited presales ticketmaster has. My various CCs never seem to offer the ones I want.

Have a great weekend all

That is very sweet of you to think of him like that. Dogs do NEED to burn their energy...if not, they will find another way

You're lucky your Mom loves him so much. Mine...well, let's just say I'm glad she moved to Florida.

Hi Speaking of how times flies...my baby turns 24 on April 1. I'm grateful that both my kids still enjoy going to the darkside with mom. We're expecting thunderstorms early tomorrow after having an ice storm last week. I'll take thunder over ice any day. Hope everyone has a great weekend

My oldest DS turns 23 in November and tickled that he asked if we all could take a trip to the darkside together this year and now if Dw's boss would agree with a time she can take off I could go ahead and reserve a hotel but she is making her wait until the middle of March or April before she lets her know

See....when they are teens they are too cool to vacation with Mom & Dad.

When they are in their early 20s and are poor, THEN they WANT to travel with Mom & Dad (because they know Mom & Dad are picking up the tab)!

Luckily, our kid still WANTS to travel with us......Must be the cool destinations?

 

[schumigirl]

Wow Schumi, hope you don't mind me saying so, but I would have said you were in your 30s from your trippie photos!!!! I watched the Sixth Sense for the first time last month on Sky Movies.. Really enjoyed it but I had been told years ago the twist and it stuck with me, when watching it I could appreciate the subtle hints though and I can understand why it would be such an amazing storyline for people who had no idea!!

I love you forever for that comment KG.............

I love the Sixth Sense and I had no idea of the twist when I watched it first time, I was amazed I didn't guess........and so was everyone else......so many people said it was so obvious........I didn't get it

............definetely thunder over ice any day...........

Aww.....good luck for that, or whatever you decide to do



I really shouldn't watch the food network at 10.30pm.........now I want pizza or wings!! Far too late to eat anything I'm off to bed soon..........but Adam Richman has convinced me I'm hungry!!!

 

[buckeev]

OK...Orlando withdrawal has officially begun to set in.

Me thinks me is gonna try to cook my interpretation of Boogity Shrimp.

Hope that works out for ya

I tried reproducing it over Christmas.......but it ended up just a shrimp salad .........nice..........but it just didn't boogity like Nascars did.......wasn't even a boogie if I'm honest



Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend

Thats what I told DW the reason why he wanted to cause we are paying for it all even the park tickets and told her that he has to come up with spending money but he may get that from his grandmother cause a little spending money shouldn't be a problem when she is financing a 2010 camaro but as long as we can take one more vacation with the boys it's all good to me

I love the storms in Orlando...........they are spectacular......we don't see anything like them over here.

Some are downright scary for those of us who live here. You should hear some of the rain hitting the top of my building in the summer and I HATE driving in them.

Yep.......it's ok for us tourists to enjoy them but I'm sure I would soon get over them if I lived it every week in week out.

We have been caught in really bad downpours a few times..........worst I can remember was driving to Haines City..........everyone was pulling over.........and that wasn't fun.

Still love seeing the lighting shows though.......they can be spectacular to see.

 

[RAPstar]

I'm quite shocked with myself. I haven't changed anything on my trip for at least a week or 2 until today, and all I did was book 2 tours for the 2 days I'll be at Epcot. The Behind the Seeds tour and the Undiscovered Future World tour.

 

[marciemi]

I don't cruise often, but when I do, I take my rumrunner

lol couple of bathing suits, snorkel gear and sunblock should do the trick.

Don't own snorkel gear (have goggles - that'll have to do), got lots of sunblock, and actually just got my rumrunners in the mail yesterday!

Some advice on swimsuits - I spent 2 weekends trying all the normal stores - from places like Kohls and Penneys to Target and sporting goods stores. Bought one for $75 that I wasn't overly happy with. Then I found Burlington Coat Factory (I was actually looking for a bag there but stopped to glance). I bought FOUR swimsuits there that I absolutely love in totally different styles, for a total of $100 - all were $20-30 each and two had original price tags (Miraclesuits) of over $150. Evidently the place to shop for the more "mature" swimsuit (ie if you want a bikini you'll be fine at Target) - who knew?

We're getting there on the packing - this afternoon's goal is to get it all to fit in some number of suitcases (hoping for two plus carryons but we're flying SW so I guess if we have to take another we'll survive). 7 days until we fly out!!

One quick question for you - when you had that cabin on the Destiny, did you have any issues with noise from the floor above? Scraping chairs, etc.? I have earplugs packed but wondering if I need to haul the sound machine or if that wouldn't even help with that kind of noise. Thanks!

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Just coming in to say hello!

I'm officially most DEFINITELY going to Houston in April. April 8-15. Woop!! It's a birthday gift to myself. As well as a trip for a wedding. But totally a birthday gift.


Hope everyone is doing well!! We had a very warm week last week. It even rained one day!! Glad to see that some of the snow melted, but not nearly enough. And now it's freezing cold again!

 

[schumigirl]

Kogo........sounds like a fun trip you're going to have in Texas



We've had some lovely sunny weather last couple of days after the winds died down.........almost spring like. But still cold.

Haven't seen any of Bonnie's snow pictures for a while..........

Hope everyone's doing good

cool car, insurance will eat him alive...this coming from the mom who just paid the family's quarterly bill. insurance co insists that my '08 dodge avenger (jr's is now primary driver) has morphed into a sports car.

marci I've never been in a Burlington store, out of the way here but will have to check it out, great prices on those suits! re cabin - I'm a light sleeper, didn't hear a peep.

Two minor issues: 1) on sea day we received a note saying they were going to clean the balcony/windows and we couldn't use it until given the all clear...which was after 2 pm.

2) the bed placement threw me off for some reason and I didn't sleep well, believe it had something to do with the motion being 'different'. Bed is configured with feet aft, vs pointing toward the side of the ship. Rest of family had no issue though. fyi, destiny is the ship that resulted in my 1st (and only knock on wood!) walk of shame as to the rum runners. Found the letter on our cabin bed, family hysterically laughing at that point enjoying my discomfort. I decided to wait until right before muster drill before heading down to the bowels of the ship, they just waived me away with my luggage intact

 

[schumigirl]

Morning all........

I know most of you will be still be asleep when it's around 8am in the UK, but whenever I try to get on the Dis between 8 and 10 am I can usually never get on.

It just won't load.......is there anything going on during that time that would cause that?


Trying to decide what to do today.........it's freezing.......but the sun is shining and the sky is blue.......so I always think I should be out if it's nice.

Other option is housework or baking

 

[keishashadow]

Interesting carole. I roll out of bed 3 days a week @ 5 am to greet GD at the door and watch cartoons for 3 hours until the coffee kicks in. Now curious lol will have to try & remember to log on Friday am, will let you know.

 

[Lynne G]

Schumi, bundle up and enjoy the sun. We've been seeing snow since 5am this morning, and it's still snowing.

Interesting my local military MWR doesn't have any more 3 day park to park tickets and USO won't ship until later in May. Hmm, UT sound better if I buy now. Decisions, decisions. I like a bargain, however.

Hump day indeed. A white one.

Hope all are doing well.
