Welcome to the Ya Ya Riverboat

[DISNEYFANRI]

Paula decides it's lonely at the top - wants to share her thunder with Pam and Elaine....gets in the "Walk like an Egypitan" conga line ....the cabana boys join in too.....

Todd catches a glimpse of us from the casino - adjusts his visor for a better look....the cards go flying - creates a ruckus...

Cut to the other end of the boat - we see a calm looking gentleman in a rocking chair grinning and shaking his head....Mark Twain?? Colonel Sander?? Colonel Mustard??

We may never know.....reverse conga line....and carry on.....

 

[helenabear]

Lainey goes to find her skimpiest little outfit that she can make into an Egyptian-esque kind of look. Lays the eyeliner on thick and dances her little heart out to that crazy 80's song!



I think the party has begun

 

[Meriweather]

Sure go and move when I am too busy.......good thing my cabana boys are good at moving things and setting up our room.
We're in and settled........
This must be one big riverboat to hold all of us and our cabana "people".

I won't be around much, if at all until next Wed. ....so keep your hands off my men. Looky, but no touchy

Painting and movie with Christin today.
Whale watching tomorrow.
then we are headed to Oregon for a few days.

Hi gang! I'm here!! yooohooo!! boys! I'm over here!!








thank god for Curves!!

 

[Poohnatic]

Nice outfits, ladies! Too bad they don't look as good in the flats...I'll be the cruise coordinator this time!

Off to check in on the kitties in a few. Alarm didn't go off this morning, so I had to get up and assist Ed in getting boys off to school, then I went back to sleep. It felt good to sleep in!

*Alan arrives in his innertube and climbs the rope that Todd, aka...riverboat gamble, provides.

Or was it a feather boa? Whoops..hope no one if over-exposed!

Alan then proceeds to pass out Magnolia blossoms and moon pies to the Y'all-Y'alls and welcomes them to Dixie.*

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

OMG! Will ya look at the deck of cards Todd is using?!!!

 

[Towncrier]

What happened??? Did someone shutdown the sweatshop??? Why wasn't I informed. I go away for two days and everything changes. I'm so confused.

Did I miss the lifeboat drill???

Thank you dahling!! Of course we have outfits for plus size women, but the nice thing in here is that you will never be plus size. All of us here are petite size 2s!!!

Pull up a feather boa and join us on the deck for the conga line!!

Welcome!!!

[2bemarried]

Ahhhhh......Finally we're out of the bakery....now I can quit eating cheesecake every single day

You cabana boys go ahead and setup the scrapbooking suites in the back...I'll be there a little later to organize and get everyone started on their albums. Oh yes....and remember....don't burn yourselves with the hot glue guns again.

 

[kejoda]

Congrats on the new home all! This place is fantastic!!!!

Beccy

 

[Stitchfans]

Woo hoo. Its been a while since I shook my groove thing. Imagine that size 2P when I am 5ft9. I've never looked better. DH will flip when he gets home tonight.

Shake shake shake your booty!!

 

[TLinden16]

I'm here. I can't believe that none of you noticed the doorway that leads down to the deluxe suite with windows on three sides, and the big king sized bed, the fully stocked bar, fireplace, private bathroom with jacuzzi, and sitting area. And surprisingly two pianos in it, which works out well since my cabana boys are piano players

I lucked out on this riverboat, baby.

Rollin' rollin' rollin' down the river.

[helenabear]

Hmm... must have missed that one Karen! I just have a room on the aft of one of the decks... takes up the whole width so I can enjoy my private balcony with my two men!

Oh and Alan too... which, btw, there's a spot in my tub. Can you get to that? Thank you dear

Nancy, sorry we moved while you were busy, but enjoy your day with Christin and the weekend in Oregon!

Looking fabulous, Tara!!!!

Welcome Susan! Shake it with the rest of us! You'll need it for the dance at midnight

Need to find some food around here... I'm starved!!!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Sorry ah missed the Egyptian conga line, but ah was just tellin' the captain how I jus' love his pretty little boat, heyah! He was kind enough to invite me up on the, what was it called again? Oh yeahs, the bridge. He was so gallant--noticed how faint I was from the heat and that long walk up the gangplank and he offahed me a glass of cool lemonade. How could ah turn down such a kind and gentlemanly gesture? And jus' in case ya'll were wonderin', that big ole mustache of his is actually quite soft an' it tickles!

Oh, sorry........riverboats just bring out the southern belle in me.........

Welcome, Susan!!

Good to see you again, Beccy!

Karen, your boys weren't playing before, so we all thought that doorway led to the phones and rest rooms. How were we to know?!

Alan! Put the binoculars away and go clean Lainey's tub!

Kristy, you let your boys get out the hot glue guns again?!! You know how bad they are when they get their hands on any kind of gun!! Hope you packed plenty of UnDu and Goo-Gone!!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

BTW, if anyone is interested, response for the scrap meet has been good! Quite a few have said they are free but the only definites so far are:

Tara and her friend
Jon
Me
Heather--a local (Heathrow42)
Maggie--another local (nicurn)

Kristy is pretty sure she will come, but will need a roomie. Lily, too, is working out the details so that she and her TEDdy Bear can come. And I am working hard on convincing our missing Ya Ya that she needs to come too. Even found her some really cheap airfare! I have not heard back from our newest Ya Ya, Lisa--are you out there, girlfriend?! Sadly, Jellybean, Nancy and Elaine won't be joining us Any other scrappers, or not, who would like to come visit Northern VA and/or Washington, DC?? I'll be happy to PM you the dates and hotel info! It will be a blast!!!

 

[isyne4u]

[mousiemom]

Did you enjoy the cruise out of Mobile? Was it the holiday? We are going Thanksgiving week. I have been on a bigger ship out of New Orleans but my husband and my inlaws have never cruised before so we are so excited!!!

 

[shep]

Trust me -- we worry (and scare) ourselves all of the time!!


You the craps dealer, Shep?

Dealer?
Isn't craps a dice game???

Beth--Don't show EVERYONE the cards!!! ..

John--Don't remind them about the lifeboat drill...
