Turkey Day Gang 2009

I'm doing my part towards the 5000!! I received my documents today!! I've put everything together; passports, signed documents and tickets.

I'm trying to decide if I want to work on FE's tonight or start searching for magnets to print off at work tomorrow! Someone made me a HALO one for my Garrett but of course I didn't email it to myself to print so I have to go search for it.

I'll post more later if I can come up with something!

5000 easy if we all post 10 messages per day before the curise.

Doing my part today.

Just check the room inventory on DCL. Looks like there are still some Cat 6 and 4 left. Here's hoping for some pixie dust for upgrading at port.

ok - so 10 posts a day

 

[alwayslisad]

each one of us - needs to post - before we leave.

Well I can try to do my best.

It is very cold here in NH right now.

they are even saying we will get SNOW tonite

 

[alwayslisad]

OH My camera broke - of course - right before the cruise. I don't think I am going to get another yet. I will let DH take video's and bring my camera.

If I keep hitting it in between pictures it may work

 

[alwayslisad]

wow that was only three and this one is 4

I am trying to think of what excites me more about going on the Magic this time. Compared to the other times. I honestly don't know. I think it is just getting away, enjoying the cruise, being a child when I want on the cruise, all the people watching.

As for the food, I am kinda picky ( you would NEVER know by my size though)
I ate steak or chicken each night on the past cruises. Now there are no steaks each night so I am probably going to eat CHICKEN each night. I may try some things, but I am timid. My Dd cannot wait till she gets on the Magic to eat Shrimp / Seafood / Lobster / Escargo and so much more. DH loves all kinds of food....

Welcome, Shannon.

This is our first time participating in the FE list. But definitely looking forward to it.

Love your kids pictures. My son is 7 so maybe he can play with Nick.

Chun

Welcome Shannon and family!

Karen

Welcome Shannon and family!

We have a 9 yr old daughter, Emma too!



FE question-Are we going to be assigned a specific day to hand these out?

15 days and counting......

Welcome Shannon & Family.

Welcome to the gang Shannon!


Charlie-
You are correct. My surgery was originally scheduled for Dec. 29th. The Dr's office called to move up the date. I only agreed after I was assured that I would be able to travel on the Magic. However, right now the only traveling I am doing is between the computer chair and the sofa...


Lisa

thank you for the welcome! can't wait for this cruise!!
has anyone done any magnets yet? i've been trying to find the search function on the dis...but i've not had any luck!!! am i just overlooking it? i wanted to search the magnet thread for thanksgiving designs, but i can't find the search.

Haven't seen the MJ movie yet but family and friends have done nothing but raved about it. Friday night date night this week is This Is It. My brother said it would have been an absolutely amazing show.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to do New Moon before the cruise or wait seeing that before the cruise would be a packed, late showing on Friday. I'm really excited to see this one. Team Jacob all the way. I'd LOVE the author to write a different ending with Bella and Jacob together. I really just don't get the Edward thing.

I can not wait for the sea bass entree from Lumieres. My absolutely favorite meal.

 

[alwayslisad]

I will wait to see NEW MOON till I get home. We have a place here that we get to watch movie and eat dinner we love it there -- nice comfy seats and a table So that is our plan on Sunday when we return

 

[alwayslisad]

ok I did 8 --- wait now 9....

one more and I met my goal!

 

[alwayslisad]

talk to you all tomorrow...

Anyone doing a Thanksgiving dinner with family before or after the cruise? This will be my first Thanksgiving away from home and of course I'm worried about where my parents (who's divorced) will do for their dinner. Initially my mom and aunt were going to hang out and possibly my oldest brother eat with them. I asked my middle brother if he would make sure our dad had a place to eat. They live in Jacksonville, FL so it's not easy to get him down there. Now I find out that my aunt is going to my cousin's in VA and won't be home with my mom. My brother in J'ville invited my mom down and I think she has forgotten that she was going to dog sit for me. Now I get to stress where everyone will eat and who will take care of my dog. My best friend is going to take the puppy for the week but I didn't want to uproot my old dog. Anyway, that's my new subject for a post!

Thanks for listening!

Lynn -- just the other day I thought of making Thanksgiving dinner the weekend before we leave, but, then, I decided "no way." For 2 yrs I've been looking forward to Mickey doing the cooking for us this year. DD and her family will be going to her MIL.

Have you looked into (possibly) having a pet-sitter come to your house every day to check-in on, and feed your dog? That might relieve a LOT of stress. We uprooted our dogs and took them to a vet/shelter when we went on summer vacation a few years ago. They whimpered when we left (I knew they'd EVENTUALLY be okay, but our 7-year old dd cried and cried. We were all miserable the first day of our trip.) We found a "pooper-scooper" man who not only comes to our house and feeds our dogs, but also takes them on walks and brushes them. He charges $17.00 per day for spending a half and hour with them (also feeds our indoor cat, and scoops the litter box.) It might seem like a bit spend, but SOOO worth it. HTH!

Looks like the search function is out of commission right now. I am close to done with ours.
