Good Morning Nanaheads!!!

Where is everyone this morning?????

My goal is to have alll my Christmas shopping bought and wrapped before our cruise. I don't want to have to return to my regular ol' life and have to scurry around town finding gifts, stressed out with other stressed out shoppers and drivers, after a magical cruise.

Heading off to work to support my habits - grandkids and DCL.

Good Morning Everyone!
It's looking like another beautiful day here in NJ I am looking forward to fall but I am REALLY enjoy this Sept. sunshine right now!

Cindalu - I lived with my in-laws for almost 5 mos. while we were waiting for our house to be built. It was rough and we wound up leaving on a bad note...but eventually things did smooth over and we do have a good relationship with them. Our kids are very close to them. I am here for you too!
Yes we are also flying in the day before the cruise and staying at SSR. We are planning on some play time in the parks. We were there in May/June and bought annual passes so we could spend some time the day before and the day we return from the cruise.

Jan - you've inspired me to get busy with making my signs! Congrats to you also on WW.

Going to Jazzercise in a bit and then food shopping later. Someone has to keep the cabinets stocked around here, right? I am hoping to sneak in a bike ride or walk too so that I can enjoy this great weather before it leaves us.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all

Pat and Steve - thinking of Laura, hope all is well. Hope MK brought a smile to her face.
Cindalu - glad you are posting! We are arriving Thursday 23rd Nov and going to Cocoa Beach - staying at the new Residence Inn
Josh - today is the inaugural sitting of the UN - are you keeping UTD for your mock-UN? Sorry to hear about your grandma
Jan - Happy Anniversary! You are very ambitious about your x-mas prezzies. I am trying to convince DH that the cruise is our present, we'll see if he goes for it LOL!
runa - what are you doing for your internship?
Denise - those prezzies sound cute - dogs are so thoughtful

All is good here. Nice weather this week - but definately fall-like. Got an invite to a friends place for Thanksgiving (ours is October 9th). She lives in a small town about 1 1/2 hrs away and they have a fall fair that weekend. Should be great time and great eats! The job hunt continues. I've been 'working the network' and hope to hear something back in the next few weeks. Work has been pretty boring since al we are doing is project wrap-up (or post-mortem as I call it). Oh well, this too shall pass! DS seems to be enjoying school - which is good because he has at least another 10 years to look forward to LOL.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Good Morning!

Thoughts and prayers to you Cindalu. We're here for you when you need us.

Hope Laura had a great time at MK We're thinking of her and hoping for good news.

Sarah -- congrats on getting tagged! (I was pretty excited to become a Mouseketeer a few days ago!!!!! )

Happy Anniversary Jan & Dave! (Hope that's the right couple -- I had to read 3 pages of posts just to get caught up!)

Went to Kohl's yesterday to find some clothes for DD. I think they must know when we're coming and do an alert to the employees: "Quick, they're almost here, hide all the clothes in their sizes!!" After an hour+, we managed one pair of jeans and 3 shirts. I guess it's a good way to keep costs down!

Well, better get to work. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday! Dancing With the Stars is on tonight!

Arrrgh Matey, you beat me to the punch. Everyone put on ye eye patch and start talking like the good ol days!

What is a pirate's favorite type of socks? Arrrrghyle!

 

[TiggerKing]

As of right now, DW and I will be staying at Pop Century at WDW. That may change as we get closer. I want to surprise DW with a few days at WDW after the cruise. If we are able to make that work, then I will use either Hilton or Marriott points to stay either in Downtown Disney, off property, or at Cocoa Beach. So, are you confused as I am now?

Gave me a good "groan" to motivate the rest of my working day!!!

Hey guys,
Sorry for not posting lately, it's been crazy, I know mom's been keeping you all up to speed.

Yesterday was probably one of the most difficult things I've had to do. It's more of a feeling of loss of control, watching them hook 26 wires to your 7 month olds head. You realize real quick that things are not in your hands. God only let us "borrow" our kids, but he is in control.

For a group of people who don't really know each other, you guys are a caring, compassionate group, and I thank you all for remembering us.

Well I did what any responsible parent would do to try to make things better for their kids. I pulled the oldest one out of school, and we all went to Disney! As the wife said, we went to our happy place.

Again thanks for thinking of us.

Steve, you guys are definitely in our prayers. WDW sounds like it was a good idea. We all need a "mental holiday" every now and then from the stresses of life! Keep us posted!

Okay, since Jeff is encouraging me (shame on him), here is another one!

We're thinking of you Steve. I know what you describe above. Our DD (now 2 1/2) developed severe jaundice in her first week of life and we had to rush her to ER and ultimately NICU at 7 days old. When they hooked her up to all the monitors and put in the IV, I lost it and do so everytime i think of it. She came through it all okay after a weekend under the lights in NICU. My thoughts are with you for all good things to come and many "happy place" days.

Love it. I'm a sucker for a corny joke. That's why I love it when my nearly 8 year old DD comes home from school with a new joke! Now, I'm dreading the day she comes home with an off color one and the way kids are today I hold my breath every time she says, Daddy can I tell you a joke!
