Way Early I know but anyone going on Eastern May 1-8 2004?

[dthogue]

Conny - if you check back in - here's wishing you safe travel. I am so jealous, wish I was coming with you NOW! Hopefully we'll make it to POR on Friday and will have the pleasure of finally meeting in person.

JenL - I would have to agree with Julie you are a way better mom than me, we also have the NO GLITTER rule - nothing in the art form and nothing on the clothes. There is nothing worse (except maybe red underware) than washing a t-shirt with glitter and then having it spread to everything else in the washer. Brenna at daisys last xmas brought home a pine cone xmas tree covered in glitter - that tree found its way to the very special glitter file as well.

Jeff - I saw the glitter sunscreen - love to know how it works. I know Brenna would love to use that. She likes the colored sunscreen and ends up with all over the place.

Jason - glad to hear you made it through your presentation. Now get packing so you can meet us Friday night.

My microwave just beeped - supper's done - time to put it in little plastic dishes for my hour long ride to soccer practice. I just love eating in the car. How many more days til we go - can't wait to actually eat dinner at a table 7 nights in a row - I won't know what to do!

Heidi- if Tom doesn't find the bra shrine, maybe we can make one on the beach of castaway cay - I'll bring the sand toys

Take Care,
tammy

TOM JONES BRA FLINGING UPDATE:

The investigation continues, after countless interviews about BRA flinging techniques I need to know a couple of things.

1) Heidi are you right or left handed? (I need to know the trajectory)

2) Where were you sitting at the concert? (or standing up yelling like a crazed teen.)

3) The size of the object in question, Monkeyboy you can help with this one? (have been told that size does matter)

I need to continue the quest, so back to the great BRA search a tough task, but I think I am up to it.

Tom

 

[monkeyboysmith]

Tom, you have taken on a grand quest.

have been told that size does matter

There are couple of things where that is not true 1) spy gadgets (too big not good) and 2) Mixed drinks (too small not good). Everything else is said to be polite.

There are couple of things where that is not true 1) spy gadgets (too big not good) and 2) Mixed drinks (too small not good). Everything else is said to be polite.

The object in question is a white Victoria’s Secret, 34 c, miracle bra. It was thrown with the right hand, from the second row (seat 12 I believe) Tom was standing at approximately a 15 degree angle from our seated position. There were no other obstructions, as the old people next to us were not nearly second row fans. Speed of travel is estimated at 25 mph (never seen a bra move that fast). The object then traveled upward at about 10 degrees and fell off in smooth arc, slid 6.5 feet across the floor and came gently to rest at the feet of Mr. Jones.

The item remained in its landing position for the remainder of the show, it was glanced at several times by the performer, after one of which he made a definitive wink at said screaming fan. When the curtain came down on the bra, 1/3 of the bra lay on the outside of the velvet for approximately 30 seconds. At which time it was pulled beneath the curtain and foot steps could be seen taking the object to stage left (my right).

I have my money on the backup singer, with the candle stick in the green room.

Search on, noble Pirate. The dangers are many, but the reward is great.

 

[CAMICKEY]

I came over here just to check on Heidi and making sure everyone was treating her right. After reading this bra thing, she is on her own. LOL - Mike

Everyone ENJOY YOUR CRUISE and hope time slows down while you are on it. - Mike

 

[hydster]

Tammy--As soon as McKaylee finishes her room cleaning I will have her email Kaitlin. I think she would love it! We talked about it briefly last night at bedtime but I don't think she really listened to me just gave me the "uh huh lip service". Lindsay Lohan was on her tv at the time...go figure! LOL I think the bra shrine at CC sounds like a great idea although it seems Tom is on a big search for my real one! LOL

Ok Tom:

Heidi are you right or left handed? (I need to know the trajectory)

I am very right handed and did the right handed underhand toss upwards onto the floor where it did a small little skid to a halt at Mr. Jones Right Big Toe.

Where were you sitting at the concert? (or standing up yelling like a crazed teen.)

Well in my DREAMS I was sitting ON MR. JONES LAP CARESSING THE LOWER QUADRANT OF HIS BODY...but in reality I was on the 2nd row about 6 seats from being dead center...looking out from the stage where he was singing would have been his right about 6 seats from dead center on the 2nd row. At the time of the hurling there was a girl seated ON the front row about 4 seats to my right *think almost dead center* who had on a skirt and she hoisted her legs up on the stage with her big bulky boots to give him a little show of her own. Shortly before I lost my bra a very young stripper bodied blonde threw her thong panties up on stage, went back to her seat a few rows behind me and then decided to give Mr. Jones a show of her RACK! *Put my small little bra to shame but at least mine didn't cost a fortune right?*


The size of the object in question, Monkeyboy you can help with this one? (have been told that size does matter)


It was a White Victorias Secret brand name "miracle bra" in a *
very embarrasing size 34 C* AHEM..now that I am very humiliated here.....let's move on shall we?

Tom If you complete your mission a very nice round of drinks (*and beers for the wife*) will be waiting for you on deck...if not I'm just going to sulk and pout!

That is All!!!


Mike---Gee thanks a lot! What kind of friend are you leaving me out in the lurch like that???? I was wasted on Gin and Tonic, away from the kids in VEGAS and I was hot and bothered for Mr. Jones (old enough to be my dad at the least but still I digress) and it was a lot of fun to be rowdy! Last time we went on vacation without the kids the neighbors came with us to Cancun....lets just say it was NOT anything resembling a fun trip! It was a nightmare made only in my life called HELL at the time!!!!!!!!!! SO this was my makeup party (except for peeing on the stairs at the hotel in Cancun after Daddy Rocks) so I made the most of my freedom! LOL Anyway thanks for the time to stop wishes...I swear if I ever figure that out well THEN you'll want to be my friend!

Off to clean McKaylee's sick area called a bedroom, start fixing the moldy carpet issue and maybe get a belt or 2 down the gullet so I don't go nuckin futs on the status of her room!

Heidi

 

[Alice Sr.]

YIKES SIX PAGES to catch up!!!!!

I MISSED YOU GUYS, I MISSED YOU GUYS, I MISSED YOU GUYS!!!!

I have had painters here for the last 3 days and you cannot believe what a disaster my house is - what was I thinking to do this just before the cruise. Not having the computer hooked up and too lazy to hook up the laptop forced me to finally take the da** camera out of the box. I wanted to take a picture of us so you all will know who to buy drinks for but you'll know it's me because I'll be the other one yelling "HEY MONKEYBOY I NEED A DRINK DAMNIT" plus I wanted you to see how bad the house was so you'll feel sorry for me.

Hey Monkeyboy I love 3/2 beer, I wish they sold it around here. It was one of the few times in my life I could keep up with everyone else (because I'm such a stinking lightweight).

I can't believe we can do the single digit dance. I didn't even realize that until I saw Jason's post.
I have to get the Talapia on the grill and open a Mic Ultra to calm my nerves. Not to mention refill my waterbed so I can get some sleep tonight. Obviously I didn't drink enough last night.

Heidi can you believe I still haven't booked a room yet? I have issues But I did reserve the convertible maybe we'll have to sleep in it LOL

[Belle&RellasMom]

What a day!!! Tom is living it up in Vegas, having the time of his life on the "Locate Heidi's Bra Quest" and I am stuck here chauffering the girls all over town...oh yeah, and spending even more time in the mall! Two year old Abby threw a temper tantrum in the middle of Blimpies tonight...we stopped in for a quick dinner on our way to Sarah's Daisy Troop meeting. Just found out that Lindsey didn't get placed on the softball team with all of her friends (she ended up on another team)...haven't broken the news to her yet. I decided that I needed a beer (or two or three) to help de-stress me while I watched The Bachelor! Don't worry...I won't ruin it for all of you Central, Mountain and Pacific time zone people and tell you who Jesse sent home!!! Drinking alone just isn't as much fun as drinking with friends! Is anyone out there drinking too??? And I don't mean you Tom, cuz I know you are (he called me a little while ago from someone's balcony at the MGM, overlooking The Strip, sucking down beer)! Only eight more days of stress and then we're headed to sunny Florida! Yeah!!!

 

[hydster]

Happy Hump Day Night---Alice I am SO happy you checked in finally! I was beginning to worry about you girl so I'm happy to see it was a carpet problem not anything "serious" Cool you are getting new carpet! I think I have decided to rip out every stitch of carpet I have in my house and just put down Pergo! Our basement has flooded both the laundry room and McKaylee's room and dealing with carpet and pad is just way more than I want to deal with plus I HATE HATE HATE how stained carpet gets! We have Pergo in our entry and living room and I LOVE IT! Doesn't scratch, easy to clean...only colder than carpet but that's what rugs are for right?? LOL I can't believe you haven't booked a room yet..girl...well if worse comes to worse you can "camp" on our floor in our room with the 5 of us..might as well get close early right??? Cool about the convertible! Only 1 more week and 2 days til we meet at POR!! I can't wait for this week to get over with and for my crappy cold and stomach ache to go away!!!!

Julie--I so understand what you mean about Tom being gone and you being everything while he is gone. Ryan in the past traveled for work and it drove me insane! I don't do well at night alone (I know I'm so hot someone out there want's to "do me") ROFLMAO! I hate being the SMMT or Single Married Mom of Three. Ryan hasn't traveled for awhile but if he gets this job he interviewed for he will go for 1 week once a month UGH! Sorry to hear that Lindsey is on a different team. That is SO hard! That is one of the reasons our kids don't play sports! Last time Miles played he was I think 7 or 8 and he played with a bunch of 4 year olds so I said NO MORE!!! Sorry to hear of the tantrum...I hate that time so bad! Thankfully our kids are old enough to completely understand the "look of death" that is emitted from my eyes in situations like that but the melt down is definitely draining especially when you are alone!!! LOL about drinking alone isn't as fun...I've joined you in the gin department (since I know you cant smell me) so you technically aren't drinking alone! I'm patiently waiting for McKaylee to get home. She went to a play thing that my niece and nephew are in with my mom and dad and it's almost 9 and she still isnt home. Ryan had to go get a heater to put in our basement to dry it out down there and my house now has a wonderful mildew rotten carpet stench to it. No amount of febreeze or Yankee Candles has helped. I guess I should be glad my nose plugged up on me...at least now all I smell is snot! LOL

Well I'm off to watch Extreme Makeover, have another drink, a piece of cake (done with the diet BS) and go to bed with a hot lemonade alcohol concoction!!!

Good Night all and we are officially 1 day closer to the trip!
Heidi

 

[hydster]

Geez you'd think it was past midnight for most of you! The board is extremely quiet tonight...most of you are asleep...I however am still awake having to tell you all of my eventful evening!

Ok so my legal name is Heidi you know my last name right? Anyway in Dec 2003 I get a letter at my house for someone with my name but her middle initial is A like as*hole! but mine is E like egotistical about some child support thing and it came from Pueblo Colorado. I get all worked up and call LONG DISTANCE *yeah I'm cheap..it cuts into my booze budget* and talk to this woman who tells me to call my state recovery services. I call and tell them that I am not Heidi A *** but Heidi E *** and that they have the wrong person. I've never been married to the John (sounds like a pimp doesnt it?) they are telling me I've been married and owe child support too and she agrees with me and says she will change it in the system.

SOOOO..tonight Ryan and I are sitting on the couch watching a Tivo'd Law and Order when at 9:55 the damn doorbell rings. I look at Ryan and he looks at me and he goes to the door. He opens the door and some guy says he's with the constable's office here and wants to see me. Of course I'm over here thinking W T F??? So I go to the door and he wants to serve me a notice to appear in court. I'm like HUH??? He says Arent you Heidi A ***??? I say UH NO...I'm Heidi E *** and he is like oh. What's your SS# so I grab it from my wallet (*dont ask why it's there but its not now) and show him that my SS does NOT match that on the paper he is trying to serve me!

NEEDLESS TO SAY...I'm now pounding Gin like I SERIOUSLY BELONG IN AA....and thinking OH THANK GOD it wasn't really for me and I can still go on this trip. I thought when he was talking that OH MY GOD I didnt buy trip insurance and now I"m going to be some beotch in jail until it gets straightened out and you all are going to party without me!!

Thankfully that ISN"T the case but I do plan on calling Utah Recovery and blasting their butts wide friggin open! It was so scary and stupid!!

Well that's my story for the evening..now someone wake up and write in dammit!

Heidi

 

[CM_Mom]

Alice, sorry about the carpet situation. We had a plumbing leak in our master bedroom closet and had bare concrete in there for a couple of weeks but did end up with all new carpet in the master bedroom . The carpet guy thought I was nuts because I went to his showroom and took off my shoes and socks and walked on the samples till I found one that felt heavenly barefoot. I'm a barefoot person when I can be so it was REALLY important that the carpet feel great when my feet hit the floor in the morning. I'm also NOT a morning person so I need all the encouragement I can get.

SINGLE DIGITS :thewave: SINGLE DIGITS

Wow, they have new smileys.

Made DH take me shopping tonight looking for sandals and something formal night. Found a sparkly top to wear with my black jersey pants so the Mother of the Groom dress gets to stay at home. Only problem is the top has a glitter type stuff on it so I had to put it in a plastic bag to keep it from wearing off all in my suitcase. So I'm wearing evening pants for formal night and semiformal night and Palos if we get ressies. May not be as elegant as a gown but WAY more comfortable. I tried on a couple of "little black dresses" and decided that they belong on size 6s not 16s.

Heidi, they have a smiley just for you: although it also is appropriate for several others in the group. I chose you because it goes with your avatar.

Those of you going carpool nuts and having messy houses because of glitter in the dishtowel and mud on the feet. ENJOY, it only lasts another 10 or 15 years and suddenly your house is REALLY quiet. Unfortunately, mine didn't stay clean even without kids.

DD called from St. Thomas today right about my lunchtime while she was doing some wandering around Charlotte Amalie and shopping. Since I was at lunch and she didn't have any reason not to, we talked for about 45 minutes. It was so fun. Got some plans made for what we're going to do in St. Maarten and St. Thomas and talked about how we're going to meet up, etc. It was really nice to just chat.

SINGLE DIGITS :thewave: SINGLE DIGITS

I'm off to bed since I stayed up WAY too late last night and now my allergies are trying to give me a headache.

Conny and Silke, if you check in have a great time. See you on board.

EIGHT Days everyone!


Heidi--

Sorry to hear about your difficulties last night! Hopefully the state will get everything fixed. If it's anything like Florida, however...


So, Travis and I ran to Target last night to pick up a couple of last-minute cruise-related items. I really think we've done pretty good this time around. Now all we have to do is, *gulp* pack.

 

[dthogue]

Good Morning Everyone -

Wow Heidi you sure did have an eventful evening. Your life sounds like a soap opera Today on the Cruising and Restless... Kaitlyn was so excited to get Mckaylee's email, it sounds like they have alot in common and will hit it off great.

Alice - glad to hear from you again. Sounds like you will be very busy right up to the cruise. Good luck getting everything done.

Julie - sorry to hear about your night. My husband doesn't travel, but spends many nights refereeing High School and MIddle School soccer, so that leaves me trying to figure out how to get three DD's to three different places all at the same time.

We leave one week from today, so close, but yet so far.

Tonight is Brenna's final dress rehearsal for her recital. She is so excited I think she has completely forgot about the cruise

My house is a mess - I have yard sale things all over my living room and dining room. Wish me luck - all money made on Saturday will be put towards our bar tab.

Have a great day!

Tammy

 

[hannahandkatesmommy]

Heidi- I am so sorry to hear about your night...but out of this, I have discovered 2 things we have in common....It doesn't take much to push us over the edge to the point where a drink will make it all better(do I need a 12 step program?). And...I thought I was the only one who used beotch as an offical word!!!

Sorry to hear about your basement-I know it is only a matter of time before we get water. We have a crack in the foundation and it is thankfully located in the "back" room where all of our storage is and our hot water heater, furnace and stuff. The rest of the basement was recently finished and would hate to have to deal with rotting carpet!(I am sure it is coming though). My friend just did ceramic tile in her basement, cold but whose basement isn't cold....

Julie, JennL and Heidi-I am such a bad mom...I don't allow glitter or glue unless it is a tightly supervised situation and with a 2 year old....tightly supervised means sitting at the table with them. Sadly, Katie brought home a beautiful piece of paper with what I can only describe as a little bit of glue and a whole lot of glitter. I took it out of her bag and the damn glitter got all over my laundry room. My crazy boss is in town so I have no free time to actually clean it up and now my laundry room looks like Mardi Gras!

My neighbor, mom of the psycho children, allows the girls to paint in their bedrooms(2 and 5 years old btw), markers in bedrooms.......playdough and clay everywhere. No wonder their house is a @#$% hole with marker and dried playdough on EVERYTHING... I have had the marker on everything before but it was because Damien(I mean Katie) escaped the kitchen with a marker and decided that the living room wall would look better with a little "color". She was only 1 at the time and really the only one to blame is myself. Unfortunately, my older one can now be responsible for the art stuff and she has to suffer bc Katie is still at that age.... Someday...


I heard a song on the radio yesterday on the way to work and it is a line I will use often on the cruise to justify why I am drinking a girly drink at 9 in the morning...."It's 5 0'clock somewhere....."

Jennifer

PS- Heidi, if 34C is embarassing, then maybe I need to go on a plastic surgery show before the cruise......Extreme Disney Cruise Makeover(after 2 kids not quite even there yet..) I remember being a DD right-after Katie was born and I swear the entire mall herd me yelling to Pat that OMG I am a DD!!!!!!!! That only lasted about 3 days.......

Hi all--

I forgot to mention in my last post that we've added new cruisers to the Disney Magic May 1st Cruise List!

 

[2kidsmom]

I wanted to add my name to the list. I just found this board (can you believe it?) I will be cruising on May 1 with my hubby, son (10), and daughter (7). We will be cruising with my mom and dad, aunt, uncle and their kids: son (23), daughter-in-law (21), son (17) and granddaughter (4). I hope to meet a lot of you there and for my kiddos to make some new friends from all over the world.

Julie B.

 

[jrydberg]

Morning folks,

Just for the record, the glitter sunscreen appears to work great if you use half the bottle in one application. Trust me on this one, Alyssa has field tested it! How it works with a normal amount remains to be seen.

On a side note, I don't suppose they'll have any de-tangler spray in the shop on the ship? I suppose one more thing I'll have to pack (otherwise the entire ship would hear Alyssa every time I brushed her hair... OW! DAAADDY! STOP IT!)

Is it just me or does it seem like work gets far busier than it ever was about 2 weeks before vacation? Ah well, not much longer


Jeff

Isn't it great that kids test stuff like this for us? How else would we uncover such knowledge!


Julie--

Welcome to the Disney Magic May 1st Thread! We have a site started for the cruise. Please feel free to send in your info (and a picture) if you like. <a href="http://www.threecircles.net">ThreeCircles.net</a>

BRA UPDATE:

I have run into a couple of bumps in my search for the object in question. This is not as easy as I originally had thought it would be, but the knowledge about the BRA is invauluable and will come in handy for the rest of my life. Don't worry Heidi the quest continues, I am not sure if you have your best man on it, but you got me babe.

I saw Al Roker last night at a party I was at (wow is he short), and I told him he is the third funniest man I know. I think he was a little taken back and asked "Who are the first two funniest?" Well I had to let him down easy so I said "Well, I would say there is a tie at the top between Bad Leg Bow Tie Joe and Monkeyboy (MONKEYBOY GET ME A DRINK DAMNIT!)." He just looked at me like what the He** are you talking about, but I knew he knew of these legendary two.

Queen, life is too short to fret over a softball team (but a great excuse to have a beer) our darling Linds is just going to have to kick her friends butts in softball. I will be home on Friday, get a sitter and let me take you out for some semi adult time (cause I will be going also). BTW I have asked the queen to do this earlier but I figure if it is in writing you all can help me convince her to go out with me (sort of like middle school isn't it).

Ta Ta for now

Tom

 

[JenLynn]

OMG Heidi!! What a fiasco! Hey, lay-low for the next few days so if they try to re-serve you they won't be able to find you Don't want you missing the cruise!

Well, i am certainly not super-mom ... and i am pretty good with the glitter thing (except when it is dripping from the kitchen towel with globs of glue). The one thing i am kind of a freak about is play-doh. We have a plethora of colors and all of the little plastics molds and such (all gifts from well-meaning aunts who do not yet have children ... don't worry, one day they will and you know what they say about pay-backs). When the kids ask to play with play-doh i just cringe and try to distract them with something else "How about easy-bake oven? Glitter? How about i take you out for ice cream? Please, anything but play-doh!"

And i think i am finally done shopping!!! :happy2: Except for the bag of clothes i now need to return. And then of course while i am in the store returning things i will see armloads of other things i simply forgot i needed!!!

JulieB, Nice to meet you and so glad you found our thread .... don't worry, with the exception of Heidi, nobody bites

And goodness, i am loving all of the new smilies!
Did all of you tech people see this one?

And did anyone watch American Idol last night? I was going crazy when Ryan revealed which group was A and which was B .. Joe and i were both shocked (and you could tell that all of the contestants were shocked too). I am not necessarily shocked that Jennifer got sent home, but i am shocked that Latoya and Fantasia were with her in the bottom 3.

Jeff, they have a small area in one of the gift shops with various toiletries, but i am thinking it is a long-shot that they will have de-tangling spray there. And any of you who need that stuff ... i am jealous!!! Madalyn has the thinnest, finest hair around! And even then she whines and complains when i brush it.

And isn't my "to do" list supposed to be shortening as the cruise approaches ... why is mine growing???

Goodness, i am starting to write Heidi and Philly Jen type posts!

Hey Philly Jen, how was your drive to Timonium yesterday? Hope everything went smoothly.

Reine, I am so glad you were able to talk to Robyn yesterday! Isn't it a nice treat when you get the chance to really talk to each other without having to rush through a list of 10 things in 5 minutes?

And Julie, don't you just love when they throw a temper tantrum when you are in public and 2/3 of the people around look at you like "What sort of horrible parent are you letting your child flip out like that?"

Just think Alice, in 8 days you will be in a beautiful Disney cruise cabin and you won't have to clean a thing or worry about the mess!

Jason, glad your presentation is over and things went well. And as always, thanks for keeping your threecircles site up-to-date.

Happy Day Everyone!
Jen

 

[ThreeCircles]

Oh my gosh! I didn't even know they had added more smilies! Thanks for the info Jen!

Wow. I can't believe this Bra Quest. It has turned into quite the adventure. They could make a movie out of it...

Coming this October, "Hunt for the Missing Bra," starring Heidi the slef-proclaimed Dis Board Crack Ho;

, the artist formerly known as MonkeyBoySmith; and Vegas's own legendary Private Eye, Tom the Bra Huntin Man.

This film has not yet been rated by the Picture Association of America.




And, Happy Earth Day to everyone!
