Good evening all: Thank God it's Thursday. Man this has been a long week.

It's been just wonderful here. I'm exhausted already and it only day two since my daughter has gotten here. The dogs are getting along ok. Have to keep an eye on them. I fully dont trust them together alone (or behind my back) which is where they are now. Gee lets see I only have about another 13 or so months left of this..... I'm thinking it will get better. I will just have to do some training on my DD dog.

Well have a great Friday everyone.....

I was one that had my eye on Mutt's signs. Guess my cover is blown :-(

Equally sure Kathy is not missing us AT ALL!

Yes, planning on a basket from Shirley for dh but NO idea what to put in it. . . not quite true - i have two paperback books to send her. . . that'll fill a lot of basket, not.

That wild turkey is SO cute. Do turkey's eat bananas? (Still confused about that one)

It was 52 here this morning, too. LOVE IT! Unfortunately it also means my garden days are numbered. . . and it will too soon be time for the s word.

Bite your tongue, LindaBabe, for mentioning the "s" word!!! I'm still coming to grips with the fact we're almost halfway through August and school starts soon! At least that means we're closer to the cruise!

Denise, any storms down your way today? We had nothing up here at the state line, but DD's swimming lessons were cancelled -- maybe they thought there would be a storm?

Have a good evening all you nana heads!!

Good Friday Morning to you all,

Well this morning it is in the 50's here . It's a pleasure after that long heat wave. It's nice weather to go walking and lose all the baby weight!! DS is doing better. DS also has a new thing that he does not like the SLEEP anymore . He wakes up at 3 am and thinks it time to play and is ready for the day!! Well this weekend we are going to the beach :beach. It should be fun. Well I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the nice weather !!

Has anybody had done the Christmas card pictures while on the cruise?? Are they nice and do you get them while on board or are they sent to you??

Runa: Like the sign colored in. What is this basket thing?? I most have missed it??

Kathy: Welcome Back =) Hope your trip was great !!

Pgfour: Hope DD is feeling better!! I hated thoses shots!!

Talk to you Sunday

Runa: Great job on the sign! I may have to throw that into a door sign as well. For some reason, I had not even thought of that until you mentioned it!

TGIF everyone. Supposed to be a little cooler here this weekend with highs in the low to mid-80s. But, pre-season football has started and college ball is only 3 weeks away, so that means that the good weather will be here SOON! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?!?

 

[woogal]

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?!?

Eagles 20, Browns 7. Yeah, we're ready for another rip-roaring season. Now you see why I indulge in fantasy football!

I thought every sport in Cleveland was a fantasy sport, since no one wants to live in the reality!

(that was mean... )

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?!?

I am a big NFL fan, but the recent performance by my beloved GB Packers has been nothing short of dismal. I love Brett but he really needs to pack it in - sad but true.

HHAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!!!! I am SO glad it is the weekend....even though this was a short week for us it seemed LONG. I'm going up to a friend's place this weekend for a Girls Night - nail polish and People Magazine - what a life LOL. My Dad will only be around until mid-Sept so I need to make the most of his babysitting offers

It's been beautiful weather here - similar to NY I would imagine - cooler at nights but nice (75 ish I would say) during the day. It is definately getting darker earlier at night though, which brings thoughts of fall. Up here we do not use the 'S' word before Thanksgiving just in case

DS is starting JK in 3 weeks which I am both excited and sad about - time is going so fast!

I read a post from Shirley about the MAW families and the DAID. I PM'd her to see if there was anyone she was aware of on our cruise. I offered to help but was thinking that if there is a family maybe the Turkey-Bananaheads would be willing to do something as a group?? No pressure here, just a thought. I'll let you guys know if something comes back from Shirley.

As for baskets - I am going to get one for DS. I think some sand toys, hotwheels and some treats. I'll have to talk to Shirley in a month or two to organize that. I am also planning on picking up some wine/beer/liquor in Cocoa Beach before we board. I like a glass or two of wine but hate paying the price per glass for it! I am trying to think of stuff we will need for the cruise as all summer stuff is on sale right now, but can't think of too much. I think we are going to splurge and buy Pirate costumes off ebay - they are SO COOL and we can use them for Halloweens etc to come. We are going to keep DSs costume pretty basic - with lots of fake tattoos. Hopefully they will come off before formal night LOL.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Mean? no. True? Yes. Did you know that when you're born in Northeast Ohio the first words you learn are not MAMA or DADA? They are "WAIT'LL NEXT YEAR".

Hello everyone, my family and I will be on this cruise as well, it is our first cruise. We've been reading the boards for a while trying to learn the "lingo", but need some help from the experts! In regards to reservations, I know that we can book at the 75 day mark but is that on 9-10 at 3 am or 9-11 at 3 am? We would like to go to Palos as well. Do you guys have any recommendations on doing the brunch or dinner?
(thought I'd get in on some of the action!)
Steve

 

[disneediva]

Welcome Steve,
as you will see we are a calm quiet bunch
Do you have kids sailing with you? You can make your ressies om the 11th I believe. We are doing brunch and dinner at Palo if possible.

Welcome back Kathy did you miss us at all


Have a great Friday everyone I am off to pick up my DS school uniforms,

Wendy

 

[woogal]

STEVE AND FAMILY
We are a quiet, reserved, mature group. You'll see that it takes a lot to get any of us to really talk about much of anything. However, you picked up nicely on the dancing bananas so you're now ONE OF US! That can be good and bad ... Um, how far back did you read?!

 

[cruisemutt]

Hey Steve....welcome aboard!!!
Wendy is correct...we're a pretty tame bunch (nothin to see here, folks)....and btw Wendy, I was hoping you woulda been the one to come to my aid regarding my mean wife--shoulda known you women would stick together(and btw...ty Bob, yer a good guy). Eh, my dw is good to me MOST of the time, I guess I should be more forgiving....

Ok....back to work for me....
remember, Steve.....tame....we're tame....

[DutchsMommy]

WELCOME STEVE AND FAMILY

I have found this to be useful to calculate ressies:

http://pscalculator.net/allearsnet/pscalcae.php


Everyone - here is Shirley's response to my MAW question:

Thank you for your beautiful letter - I may have to take you up on your beautiful offer since the MAW children has escalated to almost 25 children a week.

When time comes closer and if I have a special one going during your time, I will let you know -
Thanks again for your kindness.
Always
Shirley

So - if anyone is interested I'll keep you UTD if anything comes of it. FYI - in case anyone isn't aware MAW=Make a Wish and Shirley and others on the DIS often put together little treats etc for these kids to make their vacation special.

 

[favoriteslave]

Steve - Welcome, Welcome. We look forward to meeting you.

Dutchsmom - Keep us updated about the MAW. I would be more than willing to help out.

Lampy - WELCOME BACK, we have missed you. When do we need to link ressies. I'm all paid up, even have money put back for the bar tab, so we are truly ready to go.

Happy Friday everyone.

 

[LAMPSKIES]

[LAMPSKIES]

[sptweedle]

Dutchsmommy thanks for the calculator-didn't have enough fingers and toes

Yeah I can see you guys are a tame bunch-guys in coconut bras? Come on I have kids! I don't have blindfolds on my list of things to pack. I didn't realize the D in DCL was for deviant.
