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

[Dixielady908]

Denise, this sounds like me. A few years ago I went to a bike shop to buy a new helmet and ended up buying a new bike. Fortunately though, DW rides with me. She was actually the one who talked me INTO buying the new bike. I had talked myself out of it! And, yes, I do have two bikes, but she doesn't drive.

This is funny, because to hear DH's side of the story, I was the one that "forced" him to buy the bike. Which to some degree is true. After he broke me down and I gave in.... He then started talking himself out of it....I told him just to get it, because once we get home and he can't find the same bike here, that he would be very upset. So now he tells everyone that I made him buy the bike. Men and their toys!!!!! I just dont get it.

Can one of you help me????

Since we are a party of 13, we are planning on renting from FL tours, two vans to take us to port. Should I book these now, or wait? I'm just worried with this being a holiday weekend.

Denise,
I would book as early as they would accept the reservation. No point in taking any chances.

well the puppy stork arived this afternoon.
so far so good. she is not feeling well from shots and being fixed. Hopefully that will pass by tomarrow or the next day.
she is bonding pretty good with me. DH has been outside building her fence around the yard.
Kids voted her name to be Minnie, so that will be it.
I cant wait till she starts to eat and fills out her stomach. She is all bones.
she has no appetite at all, but I think that is due to the surgery and shots.
well got to go and take care of my new baby.

Cheers for Minnie! Have fun with her Kathy! She'll be a GREAT dog for you! I almost forgot to tell you ... now that you have a dog you have to go to a store called Piglet's Pantry in downtown Mt. Dora. Trust me ... you'll love it! Take your Visa

Hi all! Happy Holiday weekend!!

Kathy -- Congrats on the new addition! Makes me miss our little beagle, Benny! Now we have 2 cats, Wyatt & Doc, so that's enough for now! Hope Minnie perks up soon!!

Runa -- We're also in "steerage" with you -- 1079 & we actually chose that one! It's the same cabin we had on Wonder last year and it worked great! Very quiet -- and we like it really dark when we sleep, so we can put the $$ saved toward drinks & spa!

Hi Sarah -- We had booked the DCL ground transfer so that's why we ended up with the Hyatt. Guess I should've been checking out DIS before we booked our cruise! We'll just have to get together at the terminal! My DD Jessalyn really loved the Club -- she was a little over 4 at the time. She never wanted to leave -- if she's enjoying it as much this time, we may let her eat with the kids group or feed her from room service or Pluto's. Then, it's adults-only for dinner! (DSS 15 will probably be trying to get out of eating with us as well!)

I'll check out the shirts and get our info to 4foxesinPA. . . (I still have so much to catch up on!!)

Oh Denise -- at least your DH actually sees the toys he's buying ahead of time! My DH has purchased 2 vehicles from E-Bay! A truck and a Firebird w/ T-Tops (mid-life crisis??) -- he said the moon roof on the other car didn't allow enough sun in on his drive to work!! Luckily both vehicles were in excellent condition -- no unpleasant surprises.

Enjoy the weekend!

HI Tonya!

Please put us down for 3 shirts (1 LG, 1 Med, and 1 kids small - I think (for a 5 YO)). Sounds like they run pretty true to size so hopefully these will work!

Just let me know what you need from me to finalize.

Thanks!
Cheri

Happy Saturday to Everyone,
It's a nice hot here in New York. It's great because I was at the pool all day!! I need some kind of tan before the summer is over!!

Shell: Kohls is my favorite store. I can also found what I am looking for there. And the baby outfits are soooooo cute there too. !! You are my kind of gal!!! I have a problem I like to shop!!! DH doesn't like that to much!!

Tonya: Put me down for one L and one oneies 6-9 months. Thanks !!!

Kathy: Good Luck with your new addition !!!!

Well let me go I have to make a Key Lime Pie for my friend's house. We are going there for a BBQ. Tomorrow my in-laws' house. Busy weekend!!

Happy 4th of July Everybody !!!

Lynn

 

[pgfour]

Kohl's is the best! When our bill is large, I just tell DH how much I saved! Gotta spend to money to save money!!!!

 

[TiggerKing]

Happy Sunday Morning Everyone!

Cheri: If you can use the logic that you have to spend money to save money, then he can use the logic that the T-roofs allow in more sun than a sunroof (which they really do ).

Another hot weekend in Hotlanta! Hit 100 around our house yesterday. I would not do ANYTHING outside that I didn't have to during the day on Saturday. Today is a church cook-out in the afternoon. Temps should be right around 95 when the grill is fired up!

DW and I went to a party for a friend who was in town last night. Got to see some local fireworks on the way home (one of the advantages of the convertible).

NO WORK TOMORROW! YEAH! Going to relax a little bit. Everyone have a great July 4th!

Good morning everyone,
well it is extra humid lately so it feels extra hot.
Too hot for me. DH worked all day in the heat putting up the fence. he is 3/4 of the way done. He will finish today and paint in a couple of weeks after he has rested up.
He wants Minnie to be safe so he is really working hard on his days off. He did make one BIG discovery though, he is NOT as young as he use to be When you are 50+ putting up a 6ft wooden fence by yourself is not too smart!
But this isn't the first time he has done this, but it may be the last.
Minnie is feeling better today, she is actually being playful so the effects of the shots must be wearing off, I hope!! She stays right on my heels all day long. Plus she know what cupboard her treats are in. She stands there with her nose pushed against the door and wimpers. I think things will work out Ok for all of us, we seem to be bonding well. But today we start house breaking her, so the next few days may not be much fun for her. Plus today the harness goes on to get use to.

Well I was all set to watch the shuttle from our back yard yesterday, but no such luck. Today will probably be too cloudy to see it. We have seen several from our house and it is fun to watch. I like night launches, they look like a big ball of fire at night, really neat to see.

well have a great day everyone and if you get tomarrow off, enjoy!! DH has to work, but will have tuesday off. He will need it to rest up from putting up the fence.

Hi Everyone and Welcome Cheri and her family.

I've been off the Boards for a few days as Dave and I became grandparents again -- Grandchild #6 was born on 6/29. Her name is Samantha Hyatt; 8 lb. 14 oz. Just love my precious new Angel. We had a busy week taking care of big brother, Sean.

Hard to believe that the 2nd of three summer holidays has arrived. Can't wait for Thanksgiving to arrive.

Visited my favorite store yesterday -- Kohls. Got some good buys on toys. I'm an early Christmas shopper. With 6 grandkids to buy for, I shop all year long. I plan to have all Chrsitmas shopping done before our cruise so I don't have to shop and wrap after our wonderful 7 days on the Magic.

We've had beautiful weather in mid-Michigan the past few days. We are taking a mini up north vacation to Mackinac Island in a few weeks. Anyone visited the Island? Great getaway.

Have a fun and safe holiday weekend.

Jan

Jan,
Congratulations on #6!!
You are 2 ahead of me, hope someday my sons will marry and I will catch up with you. She was a big girl, that was almost 9 pounds!! I am glad she is healthy and doing well.

Maybe she will love Micky bars like her grandpa!
