Westbound Repo Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic!

[granmaz]

He came yesterday. I called him before I left work and told him he might want to postpone because there was an awfully strong line of storms all the way down the state, and they were supposed to keep coming all night because the line continued down through Missouri and it was continually moving northeast. There were tornado warnings in the counties he'd be driving through, storms predicted for my city were supposed to have up to 75mph winds with golf ball size hail. At the time I talked to him, storms had just finished in his city and the radar showed he was in a clear spot before the next batch was due, so he was going to travel in between. But 1/2 hour later he called me to tell me it got bad again because of the hail and it was pouring so hard he couldn't even see his truck in the driveway. But then about an hour later he called to say it stopped again and he was on his way while he had the chance. NO more storms came, so all was good.

Because he got here later than planned, we opted to just hang out here with a rented movie. We actually talked a couple hours before even watching the movie, watched "Good Luck Chuck" and talked & laughed until about 1am. I brought him a blanket and told him he could crash on my couch instead of driving over an hour home at 1am.

It's hard to know how I feel because I haven't seen him in about 13 years. I'm a much different person now than I was back then because I've been through a lot of rough experiences. He's pretty much the same happy-go-lucky guy. I think we'll definitely end up being great friends, but that's all I see right now.....but you never know!

I think great friendship is a good way to begin.

I do have to say, we had two hugs (one when he first got here and one when he left), and it felt like the same perfect fit as before, but with extra padding on both of us for extra comfort!

Yes. Even though we have all those years of memories, too much time has passed to just jump back into anything. He called a few of our mutual friends, while he was here, to tell him he can't believe he actually found me and was sitting right here in my living room. It was quite funny because he was acting like a giggly teenage girl. Not a quality I want in a man, but it was still funny.

Still can't get Lost to play online. The commercials work, but when I click to get back to the show it just says "Loading..." and doesn't ever do anything.

OH MY GOSH! I just realized that now I can go back and watch the last few episodes of Lost now that I'll be able to see it on my computer! And Survivor. And Desperate Housewives! YIPPEE!!!! Looks like I'll definitely be a couch potato today....if I can get the wireless working. For some reason that quit, so I'm only getting internet if I'm connected by cord. That limits me to being stuck sitting in my kitchen. This did happen before, so if I can just remember what I did last time to get it going again.

Lost was really good!!!!!!

Lost was really good!!!!!!

I watched all the episodes of Survivor that I missed, now I'm 1/2 way through the episode of Lost from the 1st week of the cruise.

On our way into the limo at MCO:

 

[HollyTyler]

Greeting the characters at port. I couldn't get Tyler to stay still long enough to wait in any lines, these were the only 2 he was able to run up to before a line was started:

 

[HollyTyler]

I just love how all the characters had suitcases!

 

[HollyTyler]

I don't think anybody here has posted a picture of this yet. I thought it was pretty cool!

Palo the first night with Tammy. Shrimp salad for appetizer:

Tammy and I shared this mushroom something or other. She told me to make sure I didn't say it's some sort of ice cream dessert because it does look like an ice cream sundae!

My dinner: lobster ravioli (I think):

Tammy's dinner:

My dessert:

And an extra to share:

Me and Sasha:

Tammy, may I post the picture of you & me together and also of you with Sasha?

Yeah I'm not even going to bother counting.

As for not speaking. It was a 2 way street. We were probably both just so wrapped up in taking some nice pics we didn't realize there was anyone else there - at least not another DISer!

That describes me perfectly. I swear there is a scorecard in the plant for who startled me the most, made me jump the highest and/or screamed the loudest when they spoke to me when I was concentrating on something and didn't know they came into my office.

 

[HollyTyler]

Look who I found the first night!

OOPS! Removed because I forgot to ask permission of Angie & Dennis to post their picture. Sorry!I later caught Bobby enjoying the art in the gallery:

 

[figment52]

There was obviously a row of Disers out there intent on getting the right photo!!!

Or - DISers that just couldn't sleep anymore and there was nothing else to do at that hour

Thanks - I couldn't figure out what they were holding.

Tyler looks so happy to be there.

Me and Sasha:

Sasha was also our server in Palo's for the brunch Shannon and I had on the 18th.

That pretty much described me. It was nice though that I could get up and let Shannon and the girls sleep while I went out on deck and walked around taking pics. I usually ran into a Diser or two that I could chat with as well. It sure beat lying in bed tossing and turning waiting for the girls to get up being anxious to get the day started.

Great pictures Holly. I never noticed that the characters carried suitcases - how funny!!!

My camera battery died in the terminal so I didn't manage to take many pictures and missed taking the ice sculpture - I was mad!

That second one doesn't look good!!! Reminds me of something!

I woke, looked out and couldn't believe we were there.
