We had a great time at Disney!! Our God Son had a fun trip, and we got to see WDW though his eyes. It was great meeting Kathy and her DH too!!
DH and I booked our cruises on board the Magic in November of 2004, so we have already done 50% of our waiting!

Thanks for the welcome. I am so jealous of you leaving in 15 days. A cruise would be terrific now. We all could use a little Disney Magic now

Hi all!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving. It has been very hectic here for the last few weeks. We just got back yesterday from a 10 day trip to Ireland, so I am trying to get caught up on everything. Now I can concentrate on next years cruise. Less than a year. Can you believe it? It will be here before we know it. I can hardly wait. Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.

Hi Cheryl,
Welcome back, I 'm glad you had a good trip and got home safely.
We just returned from a day at WDW looking at Christmas decorations. It was fun, now I'm going to go on the web cam and watch the wonder pull out in 10 minutes.

Less than a year now...Yeah!

It's been awhile since I've logged on. So many wonderful school concerts, parties, activies. The kids are so cute at this age - they slay me!

I've managed to change our rooms, not once but twice, since the last I logged on. Still on deck 2 but only a door away from where we stayed the last time we sailed. Still trying to get early seating but are on the wait list.

Hope everyone is enjoying the season and we have some more DIS buddies joining us soon!

Hi everyone,
well i just finished getting the house decorated for Christmas. Today I'm stringing popcorn for the tree and baked a few cookies to decorate tomarrow to put on the tree also. I have one gift to buy and I'm through with my shopping and wrapping. Thursday I will cook the Christmas turkey and freeze it. I have all my baking done and frozen too. I will have the grandkids decorate the cookies on the 24th. That is the day we get back from our western cruise. That is why I have to get everything done early. Some of our company will actually arrive at our house the day before we return from the cruise. Busy Busy Busy!!!!!!
I have to figure out one more thing for my pirate outfit and I'll be ready for the cruise too. Thank goodness!!!
Have a wonderful holiday everyone and I will post a cruise report a few days after we get back. Can't wait to see the ship all decorated for the holidays.

I'm so envious of such organization!

Fellow PA-ers...are you ready for the snow tonight? I'm off to the grocery store - not for the required Milk and Bread (as we would surely perish without it!) but for cookie making supplies. Sounds like the kids will be home tomorrow if the weatherman is correct and it will be fun to bake all day with them. They started "their" shopping...love the Dollar Tree...so they can also get their gifts wrapped. Best Girlfriend is coming from Missouri to visit for weekend and new niece is getting Christened on Sunday so big, full of fun, weekend ahead.

Everyone stay warm and ...gosh, Florida Friends, how I long for your weather!!!!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Jamie,
Well here in florida today it's been raining all day long and is a chilly 69 degrees! Winter is here at last. We actually had to turn the furnace on a few days ago in the morning to get the chill out of the air.
They have been talking about a cold snap here all week! Anytime it's under 70 degrees people here put on jackets, if it's 65 or less they bring out the hats and gloves. I can hardly believe it, because we come from Oregon where we get snow and ice just like you. we are still in shorts and light weight tops until it gets below 60.
It is nice you can make a baking day from your kids day off. I loved baking with my kids when they were little. Today I am cooking two turkeys for Christmas dinner and freezing them. I wanted to cook them on tuesday but they were still too frozen.
Well Have a wonderful Christmas and new years. Stay safe!
I will think about you while we are at Grand caymen, costa maya, key west, enjoying the warm weather! Ha! Ha!

I was just checking the boards before we leave this morning. I am going with my mom to the jewelery show in Baton Rouge. And we were at the bottom of the second page. I recieved my official booking slip from disney yesterday and was over the top. It will be here before we know it.

Hi everyone,

4foxesinPA-Yep we awoke to lots of snow. Our second in less than a week (although this was definately more than the last). The kids had off, DH's base was closed till 11 and it wasn't work it for him to go in so I ended up taking a personal day and staying home the entire day. The sun was out and the streets were totally cleared and driveable by 11-12. We went to see Narnia as a family. It was a really good movie.

Kathy- You are such a busy beaver. I hope you have fun on your upcoming trip!!

My husband has guards this weekend so the kids and I are off to the King of Prussia Mall (for those who know it in PA). We are going to eat at the CheeseCake Factory and shop our feet off!!

I can't believe Christmas is so close and once the New Year is here the cruise will definately be getting closer.

 

[fourfoxesinpa]

Melanie...
SO brave you are...going to KOP Mall on a weekend!!! What a woman!

I think the only thing that could possibly get me there would be that Cheesecake Factory. YUM! Good stuff!

Keeping my eyes on Glenn "Hurricane"...looks like there could be more of that "wintry mix" headed our way later in the week. Is it Spring YET???

Are you kidding me? Another snow storm and it isn't even officially winter. I think that will be storm number 4. In the last 1 1/2 weeks we have had about a foot of snow. Fortunately, it has all melted to a manageable level. I was even able to finish putting up Christmas decorations during Friday's snow day.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Maybe all of you are just getting winter out of the way early this year??
We have been unseasinably cool for us too. I know it sounds warm to say in the 60's to you, but that is cool for Florida. we are usually in the 70's this time of the year. I actually had to turn the furnace on last night because it got down into the upper 40's around here. BBBRRRRrrrrrrr!!!!!!
I will blow some pixie dust your way, hoping to warm you up some.

Kathy

Hi everyone,
This winter is terrible so far. I wish it would warm up. The kids all ready missed a day of school and they might miss another day this week if it is icy on Thursday or Friday.


Stay warm

[MelanieC]

I know what you mean about this year. UGGH! Its so cold that I don't even like Christmas shopping. I'm really hoping that its ok for Thursday/Friday this week. I don't have any personal hours left to take. Anything else I take the rest of the year will be unpaid.........not fun! I hate the stress of worrying if its going to snow or be icy. Driving in this kind of weather is NOT fun. Keeping our fingers crossed we dodge the bullet this time. We still have a bunch of snow on the ground here. A bit melted on Saturday/Sunday but now its so cold it isn't melting anymore.

Kathy- I'm jealous of your weather. Your upper 40's even sounds good right now and 60 degrees sounds like heaven!! AAAH!

I sure hope we don't come home to a snow storm next year after the cruise. We will be driving home and it would be nice if we had nice weather for the drive.

Lucinda- Our school district missed last Friday as well. The kids had a ball! The bad thing is-its so early in the season.
