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

[jrydberg]

BTW, Tammy, my tip for renting a car on St. Thomas is stay on the left side of the road! I'd also make sure it's automatic transmission. St. Thomas isn't nearly as bad as St. John for mountainous roads, but there are some steep uphill hairpin turns, as I recall.

Nothing like the experience of hanging in the back of a Jeep full of luggage as my mother stalled in the middle of a very steep uphill hairpin

Heidi - Love the course set up and with a week to go we could have more things in the hall.

Tammy - For everyone's mental health I will not wear a cheerleading costume! I like you folks & don't want to give anyone nightmares!

Reine - Bill & I are going to Orient Beach. The pictures of this beach seem so nice we wanted to try it. Last time we went on the Golden Eagle Catamaran & snorkled on a small island off the French side. It was very nice.

Can't wait can't wait can't wait ..


I'm driving Bill & the kids nuts!:

HAPPY FRIDAY TO ALL!!!! ONE MORE WEEK AND WE WILL BE LESS THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE WE BOARD THE SHIP!!!!!
:thewave:

Tammy--Darn I was SO hoping you'd for us in your little cheer outfit! Well maybe we'll have to get one of your girls to cheer for us??????? McKaylee was so excited to get the email back from Kaitlin! I think Tanner is obsessed with Buzz SRS because that's all he wants to do. We were going to go to MGM for one day but decided against it so we are doing MK both days! I looked at the weather forcast down there for those days and WOOOHOOO it looks so nice!!! I'm starting the trip nightmares too....like I left my documents home, forgot a whole suitcase you know the normal travel crap!

Reine--sorry to hear you have another project to heap on top of getting ready to go on the cruise but at least you know how to sew...I can't even sew on a button (well maybe 1 but not multiples) so that's cool! I think we are going to take a cab to Orient Beach on St. Marten for a few hours, shop for awhile and then back to enjoy the ship and al of the FOOD!!! Yeah the constable thing is amusing now but it scared the crap out of me! I wrote to a local news guy who helps consumers and people with stuff like this to see if he can help me get MY name and address off that girls stuff...she should be responsible for her behavior not me!

Kathy--I think the course will be really fun! Even if it is only a mirage in my mind!!! I'm going nutty thinking about leaving! The packing will be starting this weekend and finally getting warm here again. Supposed to be mid 70's by tomorrow or Sunday so that will be nice. Maybe I will get rid of my cold that way!!

Haven't heard from Joe or either Jen's....I know Tom is traveling today and Julie is probably out of her mind. Haven't heard from Tracey for awhile either...you all need to get back on here! We have a lot of MIA's lately....either they are enjoying the weather or too busy getting ready to pack. At least in a week we will all be cruising...I can't wait!!!

The kids are now asking me how many hours...Yeah like I haven't rubbed off on them I figured it out...we have about 100 hours until we leave...wow!

Ok...off to clean more of my house, get motivated to start dinner EARLIER than 7 tonight and see how my carpet drying technique is working out downstairs..we are ALMOST all dry!!!

Keep on posting...I need something to help me get through the next 4 days!

Heidi

 

[DisneyJam]

Alright alright... Mrs. 34c called me out. Your right I haven't been on for a bit. It has been absoulutely crazy at work. Lots of stuff to take care of before I leave. So many computers... only one hammer.

I have had a chance to read some of the latest posts, but haven't had time to reply sorry about that. Love the fact that Tom is trying to hunt down the double barrel sling shot in Vegas.

And I love this...

Don't tell Joe but i can't seem to resist buying anything and everything i see that seems "just perfect for the cruise"!

Hey Beavis umm hu hu hum I read this board too!

Good news the ankle/foot injury has healed and I am now ready for next weeks game. Know lets see if i can keep from re-injurying it just days before we leave.

Welcome to the new comers that posted over the last couple of days.

Well we have another lacrosse game for Teddy tomorrow. I think they are starting to get use to looking through the helments.

Oh yeah and Drunken pirate monkey is my friend. Drunken pirate monkey is my friend

Any way back to work here. I just keep reminding myself 4 more work days to go... 4 more work days to go!!

Man I need a break.



What a diet eh?

:space:

 

[monkeyboysmith]

Great news everyone!!!! There appears to have been a sighting of the bra!

I'll bring the soccer balls, but no way will I put on a cheerleading outfit

I think there may have to be a reanimation of the Pirate Monkey mascot!!!!

And is it just me, or do you guys think the emoticon guys are reading this thread?

And all of those g33ks that are farfromrootin'

Next up... part 2 of the Great Bra Quest... and comming soon the new and improved Pirate Monkey Cheerleader Bra detective!!!

 

[hydster]

TOM GREAT JOB ON FINDING MY BRA!!!

I do hope I can find a washing machine big enough for that double barrel slingshot as Joe so nicely called it!

Monkey--Thanks for posting it..you know us computer illiterates

Joe--Glad the injury is all healed up and you are ready to go..now just don't do something stupid and hurt it again!!!
Ok now step away from the Mickey Bars and no one will get hurt!

Off to finish my cleaning of the top layer of crap in the house, I still need to get dinner somewhat cooking and the carpet and floor is ALMOST FOR 100 PERCENT DRY!! YIPPEEEE

Wigging out...only 4 days til we fly out only 4 days til we fly out!

Heidi

 

[Alice Sr.]

Wow Heidi those are some big wambas hope you don't sink our boat, if I get to much sun is it ok if I stand in your shade?

Hey Jason do we have a definite place to pick up the Dis banner? We have to get a group picture with it.

Heidi what were you thinking? I didn't say anything about carpet, it's my walls, I had painters here painting the walls and ceilings, must have been the cold or whatever you were snorting (for the cold that is).

I just bought a bottle of White Star to bring just in case the Fairy Tale lushes make a run on the sundry before I get there.

Well, I have had 2 Captains and Diets and maybe if I have one more I will appreciate the rather very yellow walls in my family room.

Keep up the high humor value everyone.

TTYL

[hydster]

Alice nice to see you post again! I think I really like it when you start drinking you get like me and get chatty! ROFLMAO (yeah like I need drinks to make me chatty! )
Yeah that bra was my favorite and now you can see why...it held me in like a city! LOLOLOLOL Sure you can stand under them for shade BUT beware they do get heavy after awhile!
OH SH*T did I type carpet?? DUH! I must have been drinking again! I knew it was paint. Of course I've had carpet on my mind for a few days since my damn basement flooded!! LOL Sorry!
Did you EVER get a hotel room??? As for snorting..You're just jealous! LOL Don't worry I saved some for you as well..there was a huge run on smarties so I bought a lot to snort!

LOL about buying your own bottle! I figure if the cuvee is gone I'm gonna bum some off one of our fellow cruisers if they didn't have the decency to leave some then they have to share!

I'm going to go eat my garlic chicken I finally got fixed and have some TOM COLLINS. Then I'm going to eat some cake with chocolate frosting and pray that God shines down some heat to finish drying Kaylee's carpet and floor..seems like the last little bit is taking FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you checked in! Cant wait for 1 more week! WOOOHOO now get a room at the POR so we can P~A~R~T~Y!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't I think of that, I'm not usually that slow. I must have thought they would be like Bubbles in Finding Nemo "My bubbles"

 

[DisneyMagicTravis]

Here's my puzzle for today...

Tough one, huh?

 

[ThreeCircles]

Well, that's it.

I'm officially done with school. It's soooo weird. So anti-climactic. I'm actually very sad if you can believe that.


Ok, on to better topics!

Fairy Tale Cuvee and Disney Magic Cruises, these are a few of my favorite things.


Alice--

I'm not sure where we'll pick up the banner. I suggested the Guest Services desk. I hope that one of the April 24th Cruisers will be able to leave it with them.


Heidi and MonkeyBoySmith--

After looking at the size of that bra, I now know why MonkeyBoy has an eye patch... Enough said.

 

[monkeyboysmith]

Jason-- OK you win. That made me laugh more than any other post. Screw Al Roker, you are one funny dude.

 

[monkeyboysmith]

Here's my puzzle for today...

I do believe that the comon thread here is 7. As in double 0 7.

I believe I need a vodka martini, shaken, not stired.

 

[CM_Mom]

MonkeyBoy,
Is that the bra that attacked a city? Thanks, I really needed a sidesplitting laugh to get the cobwebs out for the weekend.

Glad everyone's getting ready. Guess I better get with the program.

:thewave: 7 days left :thewave:

Hey all--

We've added another cruiser to the Disney Magic May 1st Cruise Site!

 

[saturday97]

Well gang we are frantically getting ready for Justin's party tomorrow and I'll be picking up the DCL cake in the morning, so I'll try to post the pix Sun morning. I've been alerted that we'll be drinking beer, beer and more beer this weekend so i am totally ready for the Fairy Tale Cuvee, the Konk Koolers, and anything else that sounds tropical and yummy!

That BRA, holy cow! Heidi, you must have worked at Hooters in Space!!

Jason, it took me a while to process finishing school, I think maybe when the following semester started and I wasn't buying books it finally hit me.

For those of you who are leaving soon, SEE YOU ON THE SHIP!!! WOO HOO!

 

[Alice Sr.]

Hey Chicagodisneyfan - where are you? Are you a Cub fan or White Sox fan? A beer fan, kooler fan or cuvee fan?

 

[hannahandkatesmommy]

Hi gang! I know it is really late, or early if you want to think of it that way. I just decided that I cannot drink wine anymore. My mom and dad are spending the night and between my mom and I we drank a 1.5 liter bottle of wine and I have the mother of all headaches right now and my heart is pounding like it is going to jump out of my body. That is on long run on sentance. I guess that is what happens when you get old.

Heidi, great news on your carpet. Do you have a dehumidifier?

Saturday blonde, good luck on your party. I have Kate's 3rd birthday tomorrow as well. I am just doing Sandwiches from Panera for the adults and PPJ for the kids and of course the huge Costco cake.... yummy!

This post isn't going to be long cause my typing fingers aren't working like they should at 2 in the morning. Just trying to get back to sleep....

Well, after my 3 or 4(I lost count, hadn't seen my mom in a month) glasses of wine, I decided it was time for a fashion show for her. THANKFULLY, the girls were so excited, they actually tried stuff on. One of my problems with getting ready for the cruise is that the girls refused to try on their new clothes. I kept warning them about having to go naked if I packed stuff that didn't fit them.....you can't tell kids anything. Oh-yeah, I also was brave enough to try on my bathing suit. The best thing that has ever happened to me is the advent of bathing suit "pants"....you know girls, the sheer palazzo type pants that cover just about everything. I acutally think I am going to have fun on this cruise bc I have the pants.....

My boss is such a stick in the mud, I was trying to explain them to her and I mentioned that if sales don't pick up I could wear them to my customers to see if showing a little #@! helps???? She freaked. Unfortunately for me...or fortunately....she likes me and understands that I will say anything anywhere just to get a laugh so she politely chuckled. Meanwhile she is telling me about a huge mole she had removed from her butt! Personally, I am not happy about the visual memory that leaves....

Speaking of Finding Nemo-my customers and my husband sometimes think that I remind them of Dory. "Hi I'm Dory".......That is what having children will do to your mind...

Congrats Jason on finishing school! Yay for you. It's such a relief. We went to NYC the weekend after I finished and I just kept saying to myself.."I'm done!" It was VERY slow to sink in. I kept having that rush of panic that there was something else I was supposed to be doing....

For Kate's party favors, we did CD's of all her favorite songs....except her true fave....In Da Club by 50 Cent... Go shorty Go shorty Its your birthday!!! I didn't think the parents would appreciate that but my geeky(said in the most affectionate way) husband was able to just use the first 2 lines and mix it in with the regular Happy Birthday song. If course I have to make 30 lables and CD covers by next week. She is in Daycare and some of the parents will bring in little goddie bags for the school party. I am NOT a fan of the goodie bag. Aside from being really expensive once you add it up, usually its candy and I am totally against most of the candy they give these 3 year olds. It is different for the older kids, but people are sending things 3 year olds can't eat...Anyway, the CD works out to be so cheap and everyone loves them.

I apologize, I guess once my fingers and brain warmed back up I had a lot to say......

Now I have to go back to sleep somehow.... and dream about how I am going to fit everything into my day tomorrow. Hannah has soccer practice, game and pictures in the am, party, tanning, nails( I get them done way in advance and then just go in for a polish change the day before I leave. That way, when I get busy which I always do, it only takes 15 minutes to get the polish changed instead of the 1 hour for the manicure and pedicure.)

OK I just reminded myself that I do have something else to do in these wee hours.... TTFN

Philly Jen

 

[CM_Mom]

Philly Jen, you're not the only one up in the Wee Hours.

I've been sewing an outfit for Robyn for formal night. It was just going to be a "twin set" out of a sequiny material. Unfortunately, it's hasn't turned out the way I wanted. So far I have a sleeveless top that I finally got to work, but the jacket looks horrible. Things don't always look as cute in "real life" as they do on the pattern cover. Now I have to figure out what to put with the top. Maybe an evening shawl? Oh well. I think I'll sleep on it and see what bright ideas I have in the morning.

Dis friends are wonderful. You can talk but they don't call early in the morning and wake you up!

Night Night.
Reine

 

[hannahandkatesmommy]

Actually, my night got even more exciting from that point. I had finally decided that I should get back to bed before Katie's big day....5am, finally closed my eyes and I hear men screaming outside my house... now let me explain, I live in surburbia and these things don't happen here. Anyway, my mom comes running down the stairs yelling that someone is being beaten up across the street(again, something that doesn't happen here). So I panic and call 911-the police come out and of course come to my house so now the neighbors know who called the police(like I care). He of course remembered me from the M&M incident of 2003(Hannah stuck an M&M up her nose and I again panicked and called 911). That is a funny story for another time(they asked what color it was????Why is that important?)

Turns out they were drunk and just making a ruckus and now I am the mean lady at the corner. BUT the kid driving away from the scene was so drunk he hit the curb several times on his getaway. So no sleep for me.....

Katie woke up on the wrong side of the bed today and I am thinking about just cancelling her birthday! She doesn't NEED to be 3 yet....

Have a great day everyone, and Reine, I hope the jacket comes out. I sew a little but can't follow a pattern worth a damn.
