Hi everyone



I like Tiara Bob and the dreamboats Can't wait to hear you all sing Don't think I can talk my DH into singing.

Boy sounds like some of you ate well today. Shell I am going to try that pork chop recipe. All I had was left over tacos.

Linda- you are really organized with the scrapbooking. You have inspired me to try to get a book done. I love to scrap book, but it is hard to find time to do it- I don't know why

You guys are putting me to shame with your packing!! I have barely started. I am getting the suit case out tomorrow. I also have to get my door signs done. Do you actually buy magnetic paper or do you put the paper in a magnetic page protector? I have not even been to the store to look for anything yet. I have a lot of scrapbooking supplies and I plan to use some of that.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. My birthday is actually tomorrow, but we celebrated yesterday. I guess I am like Bob and have 2 days to celebrate Tomorrow will be a day all to myself. NO husband or kids Oh what shall I do??

Today we went to church. We then spent the rest of the day visiting 2 friends who are in the hospital. My one friend had a baby, so that was a fun visit!

Well I think I am all caught up. I am becoming a DIS addict Spending way too much time online.

Did watch the Wonder sail off tonight. Wow that will be us in less than 2 weeks!!


Have a good night all.
Lorna

Great job everyone!!!!

NICE GOING WENDY AND JOSH IN PUSHING FOR THAT 5000!!!!!!! I guess the only goal we have left is ... boarding the ship!

Wendy and Denise: The recipe is SOOOOOOOOOO easy. Ready?
1. Brown pork chops (don't have to be cooked all the way through)
2. Place chops in crockpot
3. Cover chops with 1 box of prepared pork-flavored Stove Top stuffing
4. Cover stuffing with 1 can of apple pie filling
5. Turn on the crockpot; cook on medium for about 4 hours

Kelly, honestly ... the only thing I need on the ship is ME! Otherwise it's just my normal, everyday routine stuff (toiletries and such). Probably the only thing I can't do without is sunglasses. I've heard of people using those over-the-door shoe organizers for toiletries, too, which is a pretty good idea! But there's only 2 of us, so we're not really that crowded in the cabin.

DBWally ... it's true. Wendy, Cheri and I are like a 3-headed monster

Desperate Housewives is coming on soon ... catch you all tomorrow.

 

[LindaBabe]

There's only two of us, too, Woo, but we're so disorganized we need the shoeholder to ever find anything. At home we live with ever increasing piles until they topple - then we tidy up. lol.

I do try to clear away the scrap table top after every project though. It kinda clears my mind, too. I don't scrap chronologically any more - only by projects. Otherwise for me, it seems like an unscaleable mountain of things to scrap that are only marginally interesting.


Sleep well, all!

Hey Pat - then you must hear "Meeska, Miska, Mooska..........Mickey Mouse!" all the time - DS likes the Clubhouse too - but we only get it on the computer up here.

CONGRATS to everybody on reaching 5000 - and a week BEFORE the cruise no less.

 

[DutchsMommy]

Linda - we are leaving on your Turkey-day...next Thursday (23rd) and are staying at the Residence Inn for 2 nights.

So..........I have to tell you all that pre-cruise hysteria is in full gear. I went out on Wednesday and bought a few things, including a fancy button to sew onto the shawl/shrug thing I got at Walmart that past weekend. I like the shawl, and it was cheap, but the botton is ugly. Anyway, so I am in my 'cruise' room today putting a few things together and I decide to bring up the button to sew on the shawl tomorrow. I go to lookfor the shawl and can't find it anywhere. Then I start to think that I can't remember seeing it in the house. I check the trunk of the car - no shawl. So....I'm having a senior moment and decide to check the receipt from Walmart. Well...lo and behold....there is no shawl on the bill. I FORGOT TO BUY THE DARN THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess in my rush to get the heck out of that crazy store I didn't grab it on the way out after trying on some other stuff. Well, at least I didn't lose it in the house somewhere! So, I am heading back to the big W tomorrow to pick one up (they better still have one in my size!!!!!! ).

I officially cancelled our Doubloon excursion with DCL and independantly booked the Altantis Submarine on St Thomas for DH and DS. They just didn't seem too keen on the snorkelling and really wanted to check out the sub. That also leaves me a few hours to assault the stores on St Thomas. We are heading to the Lotterie Farm on St Maarten on our own too - so fingers crossed all goes OK.

I have decided to keep the couples massage. I have been stressing about the $$ for it, but we really need something nice with each other and we did get the $200 re-booking bonus so I figure we'll put it towards the couples Villa cost.

DH (finally) tried on his semi-formal outfit and determined that the shoes he was going to wear are missing (we seem to have a theme going in this house LOL). Anyway, after much thinking we remembered he gave them to a friend of his as they were too small on him. So now he needs new shoes (lord gove me strength ).

DH also wanted to let the Dreamboats know that he does a mean rendition of 'Sweet Transvestite' from The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. I am doubtful Disney has that particular song, but DH is usually pretty willing to make an *** of himself so I think you can count him in for karaoke.

Can't remember if I said I got the pillow cases for DS etc. today? Anyway, found a place in the mall that embroiders, so will check that out tomorrow.

Better head off now - talk to ya'all (this that right?) tomorrow....Git R Done

Hello To All

Only two weeks to go and we finally were able to sign me up and let me post. I am Denises sister Marge and the proud sister in law of Dream Boat Wally. I have been reading most of all the posting everyone has sent and am so excited to meet everyone. I keep telling my DD and DGK we are going to have a super and fun time on this cruise. We went on Disney Cruise in October 2003 with my other DD and son in law and two DGk and that was the begining of my Disney Cruise adiction.
Today my DD and DGK were over preparing Disney Mickey chips from Home Depot for all our doors, plus we put candy bags together for the shows. I also helped the DGK put together their choices of outfits they are taking and suggestions what to take, needless to say they are so excited. My DGD stated she will not sleep the day before we leave which will be Friday the 24th they are all sleeping at my house so we will go to the airport together, by the way we are being picked up at 4:30 am our plane takes off at Midway Airport at 7:25 am will arrive in Orlando at 11:20 am. Once we pick up our rented viecheal we are driving to Sea World to start our fun filled vacation. We will meet up Denise and Wally at our Hotel and we will be for Saturday to arrive and begin the fun . I will post again tomarrow

Marge

Off to bed now

Jeff - Stacey is NOT shy at all. She is very outgoing and a take charge kind of gal. I'm sure she and Elizabeth will get along just fine. I'm going to see Stacey in the a.m. and I'll tell her I found her a friend for the cruise! She'll be very happy about that. That should put me on the favorite grandma list! Does Elizabeth use the computer? If so, maybe I can get Stacey to e mail her and they can get to "meet" one another before hand.
Going to watch amazing race...forgot it was on!
Pat

Pat- that'd be great. just have her send a PM through here and I'll get Elizabeth to answer.

[J&C's Mom]

Yeah, we're getting close to 5000... and to think we were getting excited over three thousand? this is half of one hundred thousand!

Ummmm Son...don't you mean half of ten thousand???

Hello fellow cruisemates! I see you have all been busy posting! Congrats on the 5000 posts! You guys are good!
Just wanted to pop in.
As if it isn't bad enough in its own right, I found out why it is never good to bring a 5 year old bathing suit shopping with you....imagine being half naked in a dressing room with paper thin walls , and your own daughter announces "Mom, that bathing suit would look good on you if you lost weight." Anyway...it's done. I have a bathing suit...not the one that sparked the comment....but a fairly decent one, I hope. Packing has officially begun.
Gotta work tomorrow...so night all!

Michelle, anchorage is not a town. It means that the Magic will be anchored in the bay, and not at one of the docks. We will have to tender in to the island. I am pretty confident that we will be tendering into Charlotte Amalie, which is the main shopping are in St. Thomas.

My DH researched into this after I asked, and we are glad that we will be there at the main port, tendering or not. Thanks so much for answering my question. You'd have thought I have never been there before.

Lauri, You had quite a day yesterday, there girl! Try not to work yourself to a frazzle before we go, k? And please don't cry over Palo being full. You'll most likely be able to get it on the ship.

Hi Marge - welcome aboard - I see your loving relatives named you, lol - more nanas.

Sarah, forgetting to buy the shawl - that is SO me - I don't need anyone to drive me crazy - I can do it for myself!
