Turkey Day Gang 2009

congrats to the newlyweds!!!:bride:pirate:

and way to go renee - that's amazing to have an offer only 2 months into the school year.:thumbsup2

our cruise stuff arrived yesterday - very fun! dd12 got her own separate envelope with her tags since she is booked with my parents on a different floor - she was way excited to be old enough to get her own now. 2 years ago she did not. and she just realized that she can come and go out of the lab too because i was telling dh that i filled out the forms online and had registered the younger 2 for the kids clubs but that i couldn't register dd and it must be b/c she is too old. does anyone know -is that correct? you can't register a 12 yr old in advance? and they are allowed to come and go as they choose?

finally stopped raining today. saw the sun and everything.

wendy i'd love to see the navigators. i sent you my email by accident, if you could forward them that would be fantastic.

some fish extender stuff has arrived! also realized some of the stuff we are giving is edible and there is a rule if it is not factory sealed you can't take it off the boat. so.... i guess all y'all (very southern & redundant, right?) will have to eat it before you get off! please don't get in trouble because of us!

dd 5's bathing suit arrived. ds9 wanted a new tux so i found it on ebay and that arrived too. its really all coming together now.

big reorg at work tomorrow. this has to be a record for me. 5 months at the new job and a reorg already. and the last one was apparently last august so its really 14 months for the rest of the department. at the old job the quickest was 15 months. guess i better get used to it.

pray for no rain tomorrow. i'm taking both my daisy troop and my cadette troop to the corn maze.

and yippee - dd12 is not too cool to dress up for halloween after all. (i'm so relieved). she decided to be Bella.

and talking about twilight - did you read the next book by the same author - the host? i thought that was even better than the twilight series because moved much faster and i was more drawn to the characters. I highly recommend it.
 
Hang in there everybody... We will be at Castaway in no time !!!

It's raining...it's pouring...Karen broke her 6th umbrella this month (literally)! So, now I'm down to 2 golf umbrellas and a little bitty crayola one that I just found that Andrew had when he was 2!

When will it stop raining?!? This is the wettest October on record for St. Louis and I'm sick to death of having wet feet (and today....wet just about everything since my umbrella broke)!

Sigh....

It will be nice to see the sun!!

my son is 13 this year and when we were on the dc last year we found that you do not really register them and they can come and go as they please. we did go downstairs and get a pager so we at least had a way to find him when he was out of the club.
 

We plan to do MK that day but not MVMCP. Now I'm wondering if that is the right decision b/c I'm guessing the park will close early for the party. Hmmm?

The park closes at 7 PM for the party. I finally bought our MVMCP tix the other night. Hoping for good weather that evening.


I am just looking through some Navigators a friend sent from a recent Disney Magic Eastern.

If anyone wants me to email them, just let me know.

Wendy

I would like them. Thanks Wendy.

Uh oh Wendy....me thinks you've created a monster!!!!

Sigh...I need to write and I just can't seem to get it going tonight....sigh....

Well, at least I can spend time with my dis friends!

K

Karen - I think you're doing a great job writing! Might not be a grant, but, it's important! :rotfl:
 
#3375

So tonite we got the official notice that Renee has been accepted to York College in PA - oh boy - now we need to find the finances to make it all work - which now has me in a panic!!

York was going after her from the get-go -- no application fee - no essay - just send your trans and do a quick online appl -- then they sent Charlie and I both emails saying - please be sure Renee applies - and then a few days later - we are still waiting for her application.... then do you want to come visit soon....so of course we are tickled pink over this -

but deep down I am crumbling -- this is my baby - my only - ehehe - she said she will wait to see what she wants to do - she is not sure if she wants to move 9 hours away either ....

Sigh-- how do parents do this..... :scared1:


Congratulations Renee! York is about 40 minutes from our house. Nice area.
 
#3388 --almost at 3400!!!!!!

Whew - I'm finally caught up now.

Congratulations Charlie!

Off to bed now-- I'm chaperoning on the 8th grade field trip tomorrow to Philadelphia.
 
Has anyone looked at the kids thread? It's really cute to see what they are posting. I'm not sure who's more excited....us or the kids :lmao:!

Night all...

Karen
 
I need to give my SIL a call and have her get her DD posting again on the kids thread. It would be nice for her to get to "know" some kids ahead of time.
 
Wendy,
If you could resend me the link that would be great. I could not open the first one! 22 days!:cool1:
 
Well all, I have started my cruise diet. lol Need to lose 5 pounds and a couple of inches so I don't feel guilty when I put it back on in 7 diets. :rotfl2:
DH told me they probably do formal night at the beginning of the cruise so noone is too bloated yet and can still fit in their formal clothes. :lmao:

Ok so my personal work countdown is even better as my principal is making me take 2 days off to go to training. So.... only THIRTEEN teaching days left until the cruise! For all of you parents, your probably at 15 at that number has to sound fantastic!

Weather has been way too hot here in Central Fl. Then again, this would probably be perfect for the cruise, but for normal everyday life, this is ridiculous.

One week and then I think I'll give myself the okay to pack!!!
 
7 days not 7 diets. oh boy, I need a cruise!

And by the way there is an awesome articile in the Orlando Sentinel about the Disney Dream with pictures. The ship looks amazing! My favorite part was the virtual portholes in inside rooms.
 
Karen, forgive me if you have updated the list of t-shirts, but I have only made it to page 215 or 216. I noticed somewhere around there that you posted a list of who is gettting shirts. I didn't notice my name on there. I am wanting two XL shirts. When do we send the money and where?

Charlie
 
Karen, I just sent you a PM about the shirts. Thanks for the work you have done with the t-shirts. I noticed the updated list on another page. Hey I had over 10 pages to go through.

Thank you to all who congratulated us on the wedding. It went very smoothly. Nothing went wrong. So you won't see a video of us on TV for the funniest videos!!!!:happytv: Before the wedding I thought that I would pass out while standing up there. I made it through just fine.

We got our docs while we were gone. We did print out everything from the online registration. So I think we are good to go!!!

It is suppose to be 87 here today. I can't stand it being so hot!!! For those of you who wish you had warm or warmer temps, you would change your mind if you had to live through them all the time!!!

Three weeks from this evening, we will be at the hotel near the port!!!

Charlie
 
I will try to email everyone this morning... Sorry for the trouble.... I found out why I was getting block.... Do not want to break the rules.

Have a good day ..

Wendy

I would like to look at the navigators as well. This is our first cruise and so the more information the better.
Thanks
 
We got our cruise documents yesterday. It was so exciting. Since reading on this board that some of you had recieved them I was waiting for the UPS man. :cool1: Only 3 weeks and we leave for MCO. We will be staying the night at AK and attending the MVMCP. Yeah! :yay: I think I am more excited than the kids.
