WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember The Magic-Pt4

[JLSE50]

My friends who just arrived at WDW yesterday will be so bummed if it rains the whole time. They're there until they get on the Wonder on Thursday.

A rainy day at Disney World is better than a sunny day at work.

Speaking of weather......we are waiting for Hurricane Fay, the first one this year to even come close to Florida, and it has decided to go straight up the middle of Florida just like Charlie did 4 years ago!

I guess we are not expecting too much wind, just mostly rain rain rain rain rain. I'll have to use my big Mickey umbrella today!

Should be all over by Thursday.

Today is our 35th wedding anniversary! We have a caregiver for Patrick and we are going to the Angel restaurant at Mexico in EPCOT tonight.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Are you a pilot?

Jan

I was. I flew from age 15-27. I always flew as a hobby and it was an expensive one, so not much. I'd love to fly again someday, but I've had high BP and been on meds for it for about 10 years now, so I doubt it will happen again for me. Maybe Wilson will fly, that would be fun

Monica

I have make the nero photoslides for you but I have not put it in your email yet.

I wish to invite you come to Scotland and hope your depression go away soon.

I hope you are keeping well

take care

Deborah

Deborah - thank you for your hug....it means alot!

Be careful with your invites! I'll be more than happy to take you up on it! Scotland is high on my list of places that I want to go to.

Glad you have been able to relax since doing the camp. Please give Olivia a big hug for me....she's a great hugger

After his karate class yesterday, 2 instructors told me they've seen a remarkable improvement in Tyler recently. (Since meds). One called me at work today and wants to talk with me tomorrow about starting him in the Leadership classes. I have no idea what that means, I just know it's a step above the Tiny Tigers class he's in now, but I'll find out tomorrow during his class what that means. I'm sure it means more money! But if it's helping Tyler, and improving his confidence, I'm OK with that if it's not too costly, especially since his dad pays 1/2. I'm pretty sure it's only $25/month more.

I forgot to tell them that he used a self defense move, automatically, just based on instinct, last week when a kid at school hit him.

It's great to have other people notice a difference too....proves the meds ARE working.

 

[mishoe01]

Um did I tell you that I was depressed too I was trying to make you laugh Monica, I really hope you feel better

Gaylean... It worked...thanks! I thought you were trying to get an invite to Scotland out of Deborah!

 

[mishoe01]

Still raining.....heard that Fay slowed down....not sure how much longer it will last. It's making feel like I'm in the UK with Deborah & Marilyn

Got to talk to my baby girl today...no Ian though...he's in New Hampshire with his dad. Sydney's so cute! Singing Rain, rain go away. My sister's very excited cuz Sydney's already showing interest in potty training at 18 months. (that's not exactly very high on MY list of things to get excited about but I'm sure all you moms understand )

Check it out----it's the Magic in Cabo.

Hello guys. Try and have fun but not too much, since I won't be there
You said you would sail anywhere on a Disney ship so I guess Bubba agreed to go on the Med I miss you and I'll be thinking of you. You have to be having more fun than me. I guess I did go to the beach yesterday, with Jon's mom

Gaygay, you survived a day at the beach with DMIL I'm so proud of you. and we do miss you both. you missed drunk Venetia last night. She kept looking for Cindy, but could not find her.

We were in Cabo to today. The Carnival pride that we are on had a medical emergency and had to stop for the sick or injured person to get off. We got to see our beautiful Magic today. We have now left cabo and are on our way to PV where we will dock next to her tomorrow.

I know that each ship is different, even within a cruise line, but this is the worst I have ever seen in the way of service, attitude and cleanliness. On our way back to the cabin just now, we came down some stairs from the upper deck and on the railing was an ice cream cone that had been there so long, the cone had melted along with the ice cream. Then at the bottom of the stairs is a food station where someone had dropped what must have been a plate of chicken tenders and fries by a sliding door and no one had bothered to clean it up. I know we will not sail Carnival again EVER. and this is a 7 day cruise. Not to say everyone is not nice, we have meet a few crew members that are friendly and happy, but not may. Last night at dinner my DMIL brought a bottle of wine for dinner. I was going to have mine with my lobster dinner. The waiter from the table behind us reached in between Bubba and I and grabbed my empty wine glass. And then when he was called on about why he would take mine and that what he did was rude, he just laughed and said "oh well, some one took mine." This of course upset my DFIL very much and I'll just say that he let his disappointment be know.

But I am having a good time being with the family and not letting any of this ruin our trip. Just know that we won't be traveling carnival again. I would like to try princess as I have heard good things about them. But when you have already traveled with the best in everything, food, service, shows etc, it is hard to appreciate something at a lower standard. You see things on this ship you would never see on Disney. And one last thing before I stop rambling,

people say one reason they dont like to cruise Disney is too may kids, I have seen more kids running around uncontrolled here the I have have on the two Disney cruises we have taken.

Sorry again for the ramble, thanks for listening

That sounds great to me. The problem is that, if we were getting married now, I feel like Jon (not me) would want to compete with his friend's weddings. We have been to 50 weddings in the last few years and Jon has been in most of them. Most of them were really extravagant. The last one that he was in last April was a huge wedding and they hired entertainment The stupid part was that we all just wanted to dance. A HUGE portion of the guests left before the DJ even started because there were so many other things going on. It was a mess to us. Then the went for a month to Italy. The husband does Jon's exact job so we know this was all charged! I'm glad we got married when we did. Our friends were just impressed that we had a house that they could hang out in, we didn't need an extravagant wedding to impress them!

So is our wedding going to be a letdown for you?

My lord woman, is there no end to the surprises you have in store?

Thanks for the report.

At least you get to see family.

We have never been on any other cruise line. It was hard to get Sukie to even a cruise, it would be just as difficult to get him to try something other than DCL now.

You know, something you said resonated ... people have asked us whether or not the kids are a problem on the DCL cruises we've been on ... our answer is always the same, we hardly notice the kids. Seriously, we're aware that they're there but it has never seemed like they were out of control or a bother.

Sounds like we would love it, we are real estate junkies.

There is, just once a year, a house tour in Oak Park through the homes.

The tickets are as scarce as hen's teeth and the competition for them is fierce.

Sukie and I once got on the tour and saw the inside of some of the Wright homes, which are incredible.

The rest of the year, there are walking tours where you just see the outsides.

And while I'm on an architectural kick, and promoting my city for the Olympics, I bring you the Marquette Building, and a great surprise, built in 1895:

 

[gaylean93]

Gaylean... It worked...thanks! I thought you were trying to get an invite to Scotland out of Deborah!

Well of course that was the original joke but I decided it would nice to make you laugh

I was going to go get on that ship in PV but since it's so horrible, I will stay home! How is the kid's club? Are the kids going in it and have you poked your head in there? It seems like the kid's clubs would be similar with every ship within a cruise line


BTW, what does the D in DMIL mean because it can't mean darling in this situation!!!!!!

 

[iankh]

Dr's appt went as expected this morning....will be trying out a new combo of meds for the depression....starts tomorrow. We'll see how things go.

Dentist office is closing at 1pm - ahead of the rain that is coming due to Fay. Appt moved to next month.

Now I'm sitting here watching The Young and the Restless and Dising. Rain comes & goes. I just hope that I don't lose power.

smooch

Monica - if you need a hug, we're here.

 

[gaylean93]

So is our wedding going to be a letdown for you?





.

I'm not sure. You said no one has ever worn what you guys are going to wear so lets see if you can impress me that way! If not, it's always nice to see "old" friends

 

[gaylean93]

That's because Disney interviews them all to make sure that only THE best kids get on!

Oh, I'm not saying that no one has never worn what we're wearing for the wedding, just probably not for at least 70 years.
