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

[LindaBabe]

I wish I had Christmas shopping to do! My kids are grown and money is one size fits all, when you're that age. My husband buys whatever he wants, and i'm either getting a new AP or a 10 day park hopper. I love the shopping and wrapping etc especially for my friends. I can always find something that would be perfect for them.

We went out and started yard clean up this morning. It's pretty chilly and we will have tons of leaves to process when they fall. I put in 50 daffodil bulbs (the only things the deer and squirrels won't eat. )

Hi, I'm not too sure about "linked" but we have the late dinner also. Stephen (I call him that, you know him as Steve, that's his dad's name too.) and Esther have three kids (you poor people ) How do we link up with each other? I believe that Shell sent me an email about that but I thought Stephen took care of it. I'll have to check and see.
This first time cruise stuff is a bit confusing for me: Formal, informal, wear this, don't wear that
This old dog is trying hard to learn how to jump through hoops
Where do we go to link up with everyone?
Pat

Pat,
I think Woogal ( Shell) was setting up linking dinner for the late seating. PM her for the info!!

Kathy-mom is at church, I'm stuck at work so I'll answer for her. There is no Kohl's in this area. The closest one is in Clermont.

Woogal-Mutt, I have to tell you, as someone who has never seen snow, and wears shorts on Christmas day, that I am a little jealous. Just once I'd like to wake up and see snow on Christmas day, before I went out and tested my new Red Rider Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle.


Steve

Steve, somehow, in one post, you got me to laugh, cry, curse you and pity you (btw, the pity was for not having a Kohls nearby, not for the Christmas snow ... that was the cursing)

I believe Steve did his already. Isn't that right Stephen

Lynn, I noticed you went to Super Soap weekend at MGM once. What soap do you watch? Wasn't that fun to go to. I went a few times.

Afternoon all....wow you are a busy bunch (nana's) today.

Kathy: Your room sounds really nice and your right I would probably love it...so you just may have a winter quest this year....

Lynn, I did all my paper work on-line a couple of weeks ago....not that I'm excited or anything. But its all completed.

About Christmas shopping have not even started nor even thought about it. The only thing I was thinking about was about my Christmas decorations and I have come the conclusion that I may only put my tree up this year and forget the rest. Since my DD wont be home this year, it will be just Myself, Wally, DS and my dad.
Linda, I'm like you, not much shopping...money the gift that keeps giving, well until it runs out.... I'm hoping to pick DD up some jewelry on the islands...

Gotta go, making soup, then I'm making a carrot cake for work tomorrow....so i better get busy....I also have to start dinner....wow, I'm exhausted and not even half way done yet..

Later
Denise

Pat

Yep, did mine a few weeks ago, had a lot to worry about...since we had to get Stacey's father to approve her going out of the country. He can be a jerk

Also had to get familiar with what would be required since Stacey is technically traveling with my parents, I wanted to get on there and see how DCL had her listed.

Steve, I gotta tell ya... the excitement of snow is a very very shortlived thing.

When the first pretty snow hits, its always "ooh-ahhh" "Christmas is here, how nice"....but when the first Monday comes after a snow and you feel the road start to give way under your tires during the commute, it gets less " ooh, ahhh" and more "why aren't we with the smart people in Florida, St. Thomas, Nassau?". I'd love to wear shorts in December....oh, wait~ I WILL be! woohoo!

Happy Sunday to all

Denise,
besides the posts here, look at your personal posts.
I can remember when you only had a couple hundred, now look at where you are.

Well I am going along with Lynn,
I am getting ready for bed. It has been along day and my feet are still tired from walking around Epcot yesterday.

I will check back tomarrow and see how many posts we have,

good night,

Kathy

Kathy,
I think Lucinda posted she'd be without a computer for a week or some such thing. that was quite a few pages ago.

Surfed the internet and baked a cake this afternoon. Oh, and organized Dimple's closet (she's my teddy bear). Bruce always joked she had more clothes than he does. Well . . . she does. In fact - she has more than the both of us put together! lol I'm SURE nobody else HERE is obsessed with anything. . . except maybe for bananas.

Sleep well, and dream of sailing!

I second that feeling! Especially when the pretty white snow turns into black slush thanks to all the salt on the roads, and your car gets caked with salt residue, but you can't wash it because it's too cold and the doors will freeze, and. . .
Steve if you want to play "house swap" this winter, you may have a few takers!!!!!

Good evening everyone!

We had a relatively uneventful day. It was absolutely gorgeous here today, so DH & I sat outside and read and watched DD play during the afternoon.

We've had no mention of the "S word" yet -- only the "F word" (luckily not "THE word, the big one, the queen mother of dirty words, the F dash-dash-dash word!") -- "FROST"!

Lynn -- I used to be a big GH fan, but haven't watched in a long time. Tried watching when they were bringing back the characters from the 80's, but never really had time even though we do get SoapNet. Oh well, one less thing to obsess about!

Haven't started Christmas shopping yet, but I've thought about it! Our families still haven't decided if we're exchanging gifts with everyone, drawing names, or getting gifts for kids only. No sense in getting out there too soon!

Better wrap this up -- one load of laundry left to hang / fold, then off to bed!

Talk to you all tomorrow!

Cheri

Good Morning All Nana Heads!!!

Friday night, we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant in Detroit with a bunch of friends. Great fun and great margaritas.

Our 2.5 yo Sean and 3 month old Samie were at our house Saturday and Sunday. Their parents went to Game 4 of the playoffs and saw the Tigers send the Yankees home to fire their coach. Go Tigers!!!

We dropped off the kids late yesterday afternoon and headed to Outback, where I bought 2 gift certs for Christmas. My Christmas shopping is almost done! I'll have to check out the sales at Kohls, although I don't really need anything from there. But, I may find something for myself.

I love all the baby pics! I still can't figure out how to download using Photobucket. I'll have to work on that soon so I can show off my little angels.

As for weird foods, I'm in the minority on this thread -- I am not adventuresome with food. I was raised with lots of Italian food -- mainly pasta.

Oh Jeff -- speaking of Italian, I knew there was a reason I liked you!! We're both Italian!!! My grandparents were from a region just south of Rome. By the way, when they immigrated from Italy, they settled in New Castle, PA. And, please don't remind me of the MSU-U of M game. How dismal was that???

Please don't mention the S___ word!!!! We had beautiful fall weather in mid-Michigan this weekend. The fall color season hasn't peaked yet, but it's starting. I do hope it S____s on Thanksgiving so I can really, really appreciate Florida weather on Friday.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning, Happy Monday, Happy Columbus day!!

All the ladies know the importance of Columbus Day!! Lots of SALES!!!!!
I may try to get out to Beals this afternoon and check it out. I still need a couple of things before the cruise.

Jan If you still have trouble with Photo bucket after trying again, PM me and I will try to write instructions out for you, maybe that will help. I had a terrible time the first few times I used it, but I can post pictures now, but only one per post where others post a few at a time.

Anybody get today off from work?? for the holiday.
none here do.

well have a great day everyone,
I iwll check back in awhile to see who is up and posting and who is dragging themselves off to work.

Kathy
