Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[firemans wife]

I have been trying to get my online documents finished and it keeps saying there is a problem. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I think I remember reading that someone had this problem. Will this be a big deal if I can't get them done before we leave?

You know you're obsessed with your upcoming Disney cruise when:

You are giddy about installing various Disney fonts onto your computer so you can finally throw together some door signs!

Tonight Bill asked me what I was going to do with all my time after the cruise is over. Start marketing so we can earn enough money for another cruise???

We also received some DVC info in the mail at work today (We have clients who are members and signed us up to receive the mailings.) I haven't even watched the DVD yet. . .

I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- I need a new obsession like I need a hole in the head!

 

[pgfour]

Scratch that ...

DOCS ARE HERE ... DOING THE DOC DANCE!!!!!!

(My crazy husband hid them from me so I'd find them Ralphie-style ... in between the pages of a magazine!)

Was it in your latest copy of "Look" magazine???????

At least he didn't give you the message in code on your Little Orphan Annie Secret Decoder!
"Be sure. . ."
"Be sure to. . .what?"
"Be Sure to Drink Your Ovaltine. Ovaltine? A crummy commercial. . .Son of a . . ."

If she dislikes my singing so much, maybe I will just show up at Karaoke by myself!

Awwww Bob, dont worry, I'm gonna be there to film ya......I'll just give Lisa a copy of it ya know to hold over your head...ummmm sounds like a plan to me,....

Good Evening Nana Heads!!!!

Wow -- you were all busy while I was in Cleveland and Morgantown. I've only read about half the posts. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.

The Wiggles were great -- or as my 2.5 DGS said, "Nana, they're cool".

Yeah -- We received our cruise docs. I haven't looked at them yet. Hope everything is there.

Tonya - what do you do at the law firm? I have a paralegal degree, but work as a secretary with way too much work and responsibility! I love my job and my two bosses. Our office is casual dress. My prior job was in the legal department of an insurance company and we were able to wear jeans, shorts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. I hated giving up that perk, but my current job was beckoning me.

Jeff - your girls are so cute! They must look like your wife, right???!!!
Sorry about my assumption that Pitt was playing WVU last weekend. I had such a difficult time finding a hotel room, that I assumed the Pitt fans were invading Morgantown.

Cheri -- quit having nightmares, especially about me!!! However, all you Nana Heads are invited to our "mini mansion". We'll have to form a line outside both bathrooms each morning you're visiting us.

Linda -- looking forward to your PMing me about MAW kid(s) on our cruise. Hope we're not doing a creative type gift as I am creatively challenged.

Getting my hair cut and color tomorrow night. One more item to take off my to-do list.

Dave and I are staying home this weekend to catch up with our packing, etc.

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

Just trying out my signature

 

[JanDave]

Hi Linda:

Just pm'd you with email address and phone number. Dave is awake until 1am tonight. Feel free to call.

DreamBoatWally and his crooners:

When/where is the karaoke party? There is no way in h__l you will get Dave to sing. He did karaoke one time, but he was much younger and drunk! Last year on the Magic, I was pulled from the audience to participate in the entertainment at the CMs talent show. I was hopping on one leg while the ship was going through 14 foot waves in Diversions which is in the front of the ship. Dave was sliding down in his seat hoping I wouldn't breat a leg!

One more thing...

How could I have not remembered earlier to talk about our ladies day/night out? Sounds like we'll have quite a group. Any suggestions as to where/when? Of course, with all the activities on board, we may not find a time when we're all free to get together. Anyway, knowing how terrific us ladies are at multi-tasking, I have no doubt we will do our best to all get together.

Where - My suggestion is to meet indoors -- perhaps at the Promenade Lounge because it would easily accommodate us and if we have rain/wind, etc., we won't have to replan our gathering. I'm thinking that we will have to work around the timing of the art auction, which last year was in the lounge. Kathy, is the art auction still being held there?

Day/Time - What about Monday? Perhaps late morning unless anyone has Palo brunch plans or a meet and greet is scheduled late morning. I'll leave the logistics of getting together up to everyone else.

Another brainstorm -- what about getting together for lunch and meet at Lumieres or Animators?

Ok. I'm shutting down my multi-tasking brain and hoping to get some needed sleep.

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Jan,
in August it was held in the atrium.
But most of the trivia games were held in the promenade each day. But I'm sure there will be some free time in there sometime, just have to check the navigator each day.

Ok, who is in charge of letting us all know which Karoake our Dreamboats are gonna be performing at. I think one of the wives of a performer because they are the only ones who will know when. Maybe you could have our room numbers and call and leave a message on the phone about it, plus spread the news by word of mouth as we see each other.

This is a once in a life time thing and I dont want to miss it.
Some people will be heading our early for their vacations so we need to know how this is going to work so nobody will feel left out.

Please somebody make a decision and let us know.
we can all post room numbers for who ever needs it if you want to call.
Just let us know,

well off to bed,
kathy

So now, you're saying we talk too much, Kathy???? It's as I said before - ain't NO pleasing some people (shakes head sadly)

Tonight, I finished translating Tonya's teeshirt into a 'fridgie' for our doors. I'm so confused now, I don't know WHAT I have left to do!

I'm going to bed. Maybe I can stay out of trouble there.

Lorna

Lorna, that would be me. I called DCL again today and got a much more helpful CM. She advised this is a recurring problem they are working on. I managed to get DS's ID etc. keyed in but DH and mine wouldn't go (kept getting red error message). The CM was able to enter my info on her computer (although it still doesn't show up online) and I just printed the docs 'as is' to sign.

My doc pkg was also WAY smaller than last time because everything was done online. Pretty much the only thing left from it is the Bahamian immigration forms and the luggage tags.


Anyway - gotta head in to bed. Sweet-non-cruise-nightmare dreams everybody!

 

[YippySkippy]

TONYA!! TONYA!!

We got our shirts today and I LOVE THEM!!! Make that WE love them, my son put his on immediately, I had to trick him into taking pre-inevitable spillage.

It's coming together

Talk to y'all tomorrow!

Here's my two-cents' worth (might not even be worth that much):

As far as karaoke night -- we may have to play that by ear (no pun intended ) to know exactly where & when -- how 'bout if everyone takes a look at the latest DIS-Group spread sheet that Shell has put out and we make sure the correct cabin number is on there. This way we can have an on-board phone tree in case we don't run into each to other during the day. Or -- someone can just pick the night and we'll be there.

Ladies' night/day: Jan, pick a day & time (one of the sea days could be good) and whoever can or wants to be there should show up. If any of you know now that you have specific plans (Palo / spa, etc.) please let Jan the Planner know.

Another thought could be attending one of the drink sampling sessions.

Like I said, just a thought. . .

It's probably going to be tough to get everyone together at a time that works perfectly, so we'll have to do the best we can!

Kelly My daughter is 10. I know she would love to meet your daughter. MY DD name is Jordyn. She is getting picky about what she is wearing. I did find here a nice formal dress and she loves it.

Talk to you later.
Lorna

Lorna- I will definitely tell Megan about Jordyn. She is a very friendly kid and will like knowing that someone her age is with our group. I have to say I'm pretty lucky as far as picking out clothes for her...she just turned 11 a couple of weeks ago and she's still pretty happy most of the time with whatever I pick out for her I consider myself pretty lucky in that regard. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to hunt down a dress for her while shopping on my own...a lot easier than trying to coordinate shopping time around her dance schedule and DS's karate and basketball schedule.

Ttyl-
Kelly

I'm so glad that everyone got their shirts and they liked them.

Jan I'm the girl friday at work. Actually i'm the only secretary for two attorneys. I love them dearly, have worked for them for almost 11 years. I could be grandfathered in as a paralegal, but it wouldn't garner me anymore money that I make now. Both of my boys (the bosses) are rotten, I do everything but pick up dry cleaning and make appointments. Neither one of them are married and so I'm the only woman in their lives. (he he) They allow me to take my child to school rather than to before school care and I get to go to most all of the school parties. They were both @ the hospital right after DS was born and have always been involved in his life. When he was little he would bring remote controlled cars into the office and they would end up playing with him rather than working. That is kind of office that you want.

Hope everyone is having a great night. I've got some scrapbooking to work on.

Linda any news from our Angel's mom?

 

[JanDave]

Good Morning Nanas!!!

Kathy: Are you awake yet? I woke up at 3:15. Too many to-do things on my mind.

Ladies Get Together: Let me know what you think:

Where: Cove Cafe, Deck 9, by the adult pool and Signals.

When: Monday morning at 11 am

We can always plan a 2nd meet on Thursday, the next sea day.


Tonya: I've been a legal secretary for 20+ years. My degree was not intended to "move up" in the field, just something I wanted to accomplish and my employer paid the tuition. Besides, the money is better as a secretary than a paralegal in my area of the state. One of my bosses goes on fishing trips with Dave. Last year's trip was great -- no husband and minus one boss for a week!

I still have to catch up on the last 15 pages of posts.
