[mom x4 grandma x4]

I think those who are wearing tiaras, you should wear them to the meet. It will make for a great picture!!!

Kelly, I thought my title was very appropriate!! At least Bob knew which song it was by my title.

time to get dinner for DH, will check back later,

Lynn,

It sounds like you had a really day!

Might need to make it TWO big glasses of wine! Good luck!

Alright ladies -- what's the deal on the tiaras?? Do I need to have DH shopping E-Bay?? He's not really shopping for much now that he bought DD's princess loft bed. It will make him feel very important!

I also need to know if I have to bring an extra suitcase for all my queenly items -- tiara for each day of the week, sash, sceptor, royal jewels, etc.

Bob, anxiously awaiting your response to Woo. . .

Wendy, I'm about to quit watching DWtS as it is. . .it's 2+ hours/week I'll never get back!

Check in later. Try to behave in the meantime!!!!

Cheri

evenin all......well about the Tiara's just let me know, cuz I'm gonna borrow one....

Well I got a shock today. My sister Marge, was admitted into the hospital. She has multiple blood clots in her lungs... Not sure how she got them so they are working her up. According to her doctor, this is manageable and treatable so I am sure she will be fine for the cruise....just wasnt expecting that.

Bob, yes If remember spiders and snakes...yes this all show's our age. I used to like Jim Stafford to...didnt he have a variety show of his in 70's?

Well will be back later.

ONE MONTH FROM TODAY! WOO-HOO!

Have the queenies here thought of Party City or halloween stores for their tiaras? I'm sure there are plenty out there for trick or treat.

DD already has hers packed. We got it at DW last year and it has randomly flashing jewels. Very sparkly!

4,000+ posts. Good job gang.

Welcome Lorna!

 

[TiggerKing]

Read it again, Bubba. It SAYS that I need the BIG ONE (or as a southerner would call it, a big'un). I'm every bit a queen as ... hmm ... RuPaul (he's from Atlanta, isn't he?? )

Don't know that I woulda admitted that, sister! My DW is looking for a tiara, so you better be finding one for yourself!

I CAN'T PUT MY ARMS DOWN! (one of my top 5 A Christmas Story quotes ... and so appropriate here)

That was my first thought as well. That scares me!

howdy folks...
Lynn - how cute is that picture! He looks like he's afraid to move. I feel for ya gal (as far as watchin' kids) I had 17 4 year olds today! I'm really reconsidering this job thing. I don't care if Cullen needs to develop his social skills - he can learn to be social with the senior citizens that are in his life! I'm thinking of home schooling him at this point

Stephen - you can wear the polo shirt that you got from the company you work for to Palos!

Kathy - get ready, it's going back up to the 80's tomorrow. And that folks is why we hate FL weather. One day you freeze, turn the heat on, and get the blankets down for the bed, the next day you're going to the beach and turning the AC down low.
I thought Mt. Dora was this past weekend! Glad I didn't make it down there this past Sunday...

Well, I'm going to go to bed now. I don't think I can take watching LOST any more. I'm so totally LOST watching it. Does anyone else feel that way or am I just a bit on the slow side? I'm the type of person that jokes get lost on. I finally get them at 2 a.m.

Are you all really getting tiaras? I really thought this was a joke thing going on! If you are...check out Wal-Mart in the craft section were they have the do it yourself items for the bride-to-be. I think they run pretty cheap too.

In case you missed them - two on line tiaras sources have been mentioned

was it Tiaraworld.com? Those were GORGEOus but expensive

and glitterdiva.com somewhat more reasonable. Shell - there were a couple very tall ones on one of these sites.


That poor baby! Snowsuits are SUCH a pain, aren't they Drew? Poor little thing.

I had answers for a couple people on the last page . . . unfortunately, I forgot the quesitons!

Night all!

Does anyone know how formal you have to be for brunch at Palo's. I know that you have to wear jacket and tie for dinner but what about brunch?

I went to that brunch in khaki's and a polo (shirt sleeve golf variety) shirt. I'm not sure I saw a single jacket and tie while we were there. And it was fantastic. We couldn't get a ressie for it for this cruise, so that's the FIRST thing I do when we board.

Cheri - Where did your DH find a princess loft bed? My DD is dying for a loft bed and the princess thing might be a great way to go..

 

[firemans wife]

Are you guys really wearing tiaras? When will you wear them? My girls and I have 3 I think. They are not expensive ones, just plastic. I think one of them might light up. I will throw them into be packed-hopefully they won't break on the way down.

Denise i hope your sister will be feeling better soon.

Lynn what a cute picture of your little one. It seems like forever since my kids were that age.

Does anyone have plans for St Martin yet? Has anyone been to Maho beach?

Lorna AKA firemans wife

We are leaving 4 weeks from tomorrow

Cheri - Where did your DH find a princess loft bed? My DD is dying for a loft bed and the princess thing might be a great way to go..

He did the shopping on E-Bay -- children's bedroom furniture. There are quite a few loft beds with a slide & ladder and canvas coverings to make it look like a castle.

I think prices have been ranging from $200's and up. There are some really cool set ups that start at $1500!! After several weeks searching and bidding, we bought one that is fuschia/pink with natural wood instead of the purple/pink one with white trim. (DD, of course, wanted the purple & pink, but we've convinced her that this one is better! )

The shipping costs really add up so maybe you will find one close by that you can pick up yourself.

Good luck!

My thoughts exactly!!!

To go along with this scene: "Getting ready for school was like getting ready for extended deep sea diving." "My brother looked like a tick about to pop . . ."

Mother's response to the original quote: "You can put your arms down when you get to school"!

Cheri

P.S. Don't "flame" me if the quotes aren't exact -- I haven't had time to review or look up the lines -- going completely off of memory here.

 

[pgfour]

Jerry's gone. Guess it's getting serious now.

Don't watch LOST, so I can't share in the excitement, but I was watching the 40 top country music drinking song on CMT.

Denise, hope your sister gets well soon. Here's some

I'm waiting to hear a serious consensus on the tiaras. I could wear one, but then again, I prefer to travel incognito!

Off to sleep! Talk to y'all later!

[runa00]

Pat: I am thinking about this whole job thing too. I don't think it is going to work out!!!

 

[JanDave]

Good Morning Nana Heads!!!

Welcome Lorna! We're from Michigan, too. What area of the state do you call home? We're in the Lansing area; originally from the Detroit area. Jeff (JD99) can tell you that we're MSU fans. Crusiing: Me, DH Dave, and friends, Bob and Gitta.

It has been a chatty few days on our thread. The last two nights, I've been wrapping Christmas gifts. I should be done by tonight.

Tonya: Thanks to you for taking on such a big job of the t-shirts.

Lynn: Your little guy is so cute, even if he's not smiling in the pic.

It's another cold day in mid-Michigan. Hopefully, the rain will go away in St. Louis, and our DETROIT TIGERS can win the game.

Saturday morning, I'm heading to the west side of the state to see my Kalamazoo grandkids, that night we have a wedding to attend.

Sunday, we're having a "cruise meeting" with Bob and Gitta.

Lorna, as other posters have said, brunch in Palo is not formal and neither is dinner. You will see a wide variety of dress at each restaurant and at Palo. Dave is taking a sport coat and will wear it for dinner at Palo. Having been on 6 DCL cruises, I don't notice anyone's attire at dinner as I'm too busy having fun with my tablemates and servers. With guests seated, I couldn't even tell you if the females at my table were wearing shorts, slacks, jeans, skirt, etc. DCL has "suggested" guidelines and ask that cruisers refrain from wearing shorts and bathing suits to the dining rooms. You will see tuxes on formal night, but you will also see men in suits, sport coats, and just a shirt and tie. I'm wearing a Chico's basic black dress for formal night and Palo dinner. If you do a search on the DCL boards, you'll see plenty of opinions on DCL "dress code".

Everyone have a great day. For all of us northerners, stay warm!

Jan
