Good afternoon all,
Kathy - Erma Bombeck cracks me up!! I borrowed a book of hers from my Aunt when I needed something to read and just loved it!! That sarcastic wit always makes me laugh.
Glad to hear everything sounds good with everyone. KAraoke was fun last night, but I swear I am just getting too old. I got home about 2pm and this morning was just a write off. I didn't feel like doing anything. DH took DS out and they are just heading back now. That was great as I could recover in peace and got the house straightened up (another blessing of going out is a house-disaster when I get home LOL) and got through some laundry. God I hate house-cleaning. I am the anti-Martha
To keep you further on the edge of your seat with my thrilling life I now have to boil some eggs for DSs lunch and conjure up a one-pot dinner - I am thinking casserole.
We went down to a locale costume rental place on Saturday and DH found his pirate outfit. HE is going more Captain Morgan than Jack Sparrow. So, that is pretty much taken care of. I am thinking I will still buy mine off ebay. I just didn't find what I was looking for at the costume rental place and another DISr has recently bought from the same woman I was looking at and she has rave reviews. It is close to the same price to rent (as it would be close to 2 weeks rental) as to buy and I figure I could then have a Halloween costume for life. Plus, I found some prettyt cool pirate wench type shoes at Payless (kind like the 'granny-boot' style) so I will just hope they go on sale and then should be set. I think we are just going to get some raggedy pants for DS and print off some fake tatoos on the computer. He has the medallion from POTC so I am thinking he can be the young Will Tanner.
I am starting to get worried about the amount of luggage we will have - LOL. Oh well, those Port porters sure earn their wage!!! We'll tip them well.
I am also trying to think about getting little things together - like glowsticks and maybe bubbles or something from the dollar store. I also want to pick up a few things to give to Shirley at Perfect Gift so she can put them into a basket for DS. I think I missed my window of opportunity for summer clothes sales up here - they put the fall and winter stuff out SO early. I am hoping, because we have a bit of time down in FL before the cruise that we could maybe pop by a Target (or this mysterious Kohls place you all keep talking about!) if I want some capris or something. I think DH will like Ron JOns and likely find some stuff there. DS is easy and has lots of clothes so I think we are OK there.
Kathy - or others with access to WDW prior to our trip - I am thinking of maybe asking a favour if you are willing. I am thinking of getting on of those Pin Trader starter kits for DS and maybe a few extra pins so he can do some trading with the CMs onboard. I think he is old enough now he would enjoy it. So....if anyone is going to be a MK or DTD before the cruise, maybe would you be willing to pick up a lanyard and a few pins or a kit and I'll pay you back when I see you??? I would really
it - thanks!!
Other than that, I am just trying to make sure everything is organized. I booked the Doubloon in St Maarten but DH is being a little hesitant - he has developed a bit of a phobia of open water and is not sure he is too keen on snorkelling off the boat. I am trying to convince him to face his fear (which he manufactured anyway!!) so...we'll see if we keep that one. Maybe Coral World and Coki Beach is the way to go - oh well, best layed plans as they say LOL.
So, enough of me blabbering - talk to you all soon!
Then back to the mid-50s

afternoon all nana heads....
!! The rain made it less humid and hot here 
Same goes for door signs, actual clothes to pack, etc. 
I'll be a Bears fan this year since the Raiders are a lost cause!!!
Don't think he thinks too much of apple picking though. Or is it the apple itself? Maybe it wasn't a good one. If you notice, he's doing a thumbs down 
LOL
