I saw it!

Hi Marilyn, it's getting close now......are you completely ready??? You're leaving very early tomorrow morning aren't you? We'll be out of here on Wednesday. I'm almost ready. My bags are packed but I'm very upset that I won't be able to record the start up of the new season TV shows. I might just have to make sure that I'm back at the hotel so I can watch the opening episodes of my favorites. Then I'll have to try not to fall asleep. We'll see what happens.

Have a wonderful refreshing and fun vacation. I'll be home before you so I'll catch you back on here while you're on vacation or afterwards at home.

Tell John we asked for him and hope that he enjoys his time away too.

Looks like you are PRE-PLANNING some REST periods here!!

Way to go Deb!

Watch those shows from the bed so your legs are both elevated!

I have to get back in touch with the Dept Chair. It's been plenty of time for him to get used to this semester and I want to make sure my classes start in Jan '09. I'll call him this week

How exciting it's going to be for you to start the New Year, especially after your NYE cruise. That's the right way to kick it off!!!

I was trying to think of a way to get your shows taped for you. Don't you wish you could have a friend tape them and email them to you I think tv will be different when our kids are adults. I suspect the lack of customer service will not even be an issue. But what are you going to do!!!! Did I miss the first Survior already?

No Survivor didn't start yet. I guess I'll try to watch them online when I can. I'll have to go through my guide, which I still get, and see what I'll be missing and then keep a list and try to watch online. OR I'll just miss the opening episodes. It's out of my control.

I can't wait for TV to "grow up" and be more advanced for our kids. I'm curious to see how they improve on it. It would be great if it was "on demand" and you could watch what you wanted when you wanted for regular seasonal shows.

I'm going to go to NBC's website now and see if I'll be able to watch Heros online tonight. Keep your fingers crossed.

I know there is next year but how many summers do I have left before they hate me

See you guys later. I have to go to work

They may never HATE you. You are a cool Mom and you do fun stuff with them.

They may grow up and away and live their own lives without being in touch with you for weeks at a time, but that does not mean HATE has to be a part of it.

When you are together you will have great times and you will MARVEL at what neat adult-people they are and what fun they are to be with!

Our boys never went through the "I hate you" stage. The closest they ever got was one silly conversation where they were discussing with each other, within earshot of us both, that we loved the other one more.

It was so funny

THEY LOVE YOU MORE

NO THEY LOVE YOU MORE

NO THEY LOVE YOU MORE

NO THEY LOVE YOU MORE

We figure that must mean we were pretty even-handed!

Way to go Deb!

Watch those shows from the bed so your legs are both elevated!

Jan

Well that's one way to get me off my feet!

Unfortunately, the legs are worse again today. I just made an appointment with the wound doctor again tomorrow morning. It looks like the right leg is all infected yet AGAIN. It goes away, it comes back. I'm ready to give up!

So I'll see the doctor tomorrow and he'll do a culture and it'll probably be strep again.....it looks like I have strep throat on my leg....then he'll put me on antibiotics again. That means no champagne for me this trip.....can't drink alcohol while taking antibiotics.

I hope this is not a foreboding for how this trip is going to go. First the TV goes out and then the leg gets worse......hopefully my luck will change quickly.

 

[Tink rules]

DATE!?!?!? She has a date!!

Details, dahling, detals!

Jan

Jan... you are more excited than I am!!!

Will fill you in when I get back...

& Bubba... I know that is going to be TMI so I will warn you ahead of time...

 

[ibouncetoo]

Deb, sorry to hear that your leg is acting up again...bummer Dude!

Just had my Thai Curry Chicken with rice and veggies...yum! Enjoyed it very much. Brought the AM snack (Cran-Grape shake) to have this afternoon and saving the afternoon snack for dessert tonight...as it's a sweet treat.

I have to stop by the store and restock some basics (that I had to toss when the power was out). Do think I'll grab some romaine so I can supplement with a small salad at dinner

...ok back to work....


DEB AND MARILYN....have great/safe trips!

Sorry!!

GLAD YOU GOT AN APPT WITH THE MD BEFORE YOU LEAVE! :

One of my MDs said that when I was in the hospital he wanted me elevating my leg HIGHER than my heart. He said it would help the fluid drain from the leg into the blood stream.

I raised the foot of the hospital bed as high as it would go and lowered the head as far as it would go--flat. Then I had a pillow under my head and pillows under my leg. People had to sit by my head to talk to me, but who cares, if it helps, I'll do it.

So, when you are resting, if you can be flat, that might be better than sitting with your legs up.

Keep us posted on that leg!

He can skip whatever post he does not want to read.

And yes, I am excited! I hope you have a great time!

Aaaaaw, sorry about the leg again Deb! Sorry about the Champagne too! You'll soon be enjoying yourself in the world.

Thanks Jackie.

So, given all the new info/rumours about the 2010 itineraries, what are you all thinking of doing now?

 

[granmaz]

As far as Transatlantics go, I guess the September WB will be the one with least children now rather than the April EB.

We had such great children on our cruise and no problems like the EB seemed to have. I would hate that I really would.

 

[granmaz]

Off to do some more trip preparations. Back later.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb, sorry to hear that your leg is acting up again...bummer Dude!

Thanks Jackie.....it won't stop me from running around and playing at WDW all the same. I'll have to keep it wrapped now and no pool. But at least I can do Epcot Food and Wine!

Just had my Thai Curry Chicken with rice and veggies...yum! Enjoyed it very much. Brought the AM snack (Cran-Grape shake) to have this afternoon and saving the afternoon snack for dessert tonight...as it's a sweet treat.

Glad you liked the Thai chicken. I give those to John because I don't like curry and he does. So instead of another substitute.....I let him eat those. I'm glad you liked it though. I hate all the shakes except for the chocolate. Tonight's desert is YUMMY! It's a good idea to do the snacks the way you did. You want more of a snack after lunch and dinner, not after breakfast.

Eating has now become a fun adventure for you.....that's what I thought at the beginning when I was following the menu strictly.

Today I skipped breakfast and just had coffee. For lunch I had Pork Tenderloin. It was delicious. I've just had water since lunch. I'll have dinner and a snack later.

I supplement with yogurt and bananas and salad too. I just do one meal a day and then eat the supplemental foods and total the calories. Today there is no supplemental food in the house because we're leaving in two days. So I'll have two Bistro meals and a snack. I switch it up so that I don't get bored and can do it long term.

Pickles are a great late night snack.....very little calories. I'll eat sweet gerkins and dill spears.

I have to stop by the store and restock some basics (that I had to toss when the power was out). Do think I'll grab some romaine so I can supplement with a small salad at dinner

Great idea!

...ok back to work....


DEB AND MARILYN....have great/safe trips!

Thanks Jackie.....will keep you posted.

Jan, you are so right. One of my doctors told me the same thing. So that's what I will have to do every night after running around all day. We'll make it work.

I'll keep you up to date because I'll have internet and laptop.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Aaaaaw, sorry about the leg again Deb! Sorry about the Champagne too! You'll soon be enjoying yourself in the world.

Thanks Marilyn, I would rather be there without the champagne than to be here with it! Mickey will make me happy!

So, given all the new info/rumours about the 2010 itineraries, what are you all thinking of doing now?

I'm holding out for the Southern Caribbean. I still believe they are going to offer it again and that just may be the right time. We'll go in October when the Magic gets back.

(keeping my fingers crossed!)

 

[granmaz]

Just coming on the say goodbye. Off to bed now. A bit worried about the baggage allowance.

I might be able to pop in from La Gomera, we will have to wait and see.

Deb, have a good trip and a fun time.

Love to you all.

Bye.
