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

[pgfour]

Lynn -- Great pictures!

Jan -- Glad to hear you're feeling better! What a great Angel story!!!

Thanks everyone for clarifying who Suzy is. My DD acted as if she knew it all along!

Jeff, Lynn looking to forward to reading more of your trip reports. I'd like to do one, but I have to take care of some things around the office & home first! If we spread the reports out, we can re-live the cruise every week for the next month or so!

Have a great evening everyone!

LOVE the photos, Lynn! You guys are richly blessed

Today, not much work will get done. Actually yesterday, not much work got done. But today, we're going out for holiday lunch and nobody's going back to work.

Does anyone have any idea about how to determine how full a cruise will be? I'd like to know about my January cruise.

Yesterday, I composed a letter to the cruiseline guest relations about my missing map. I still choked up when telling the tale. Darn it. it's only a piece of paper.

Happy Day, All!

Good Morning Everyone!

Sorry I've been MIA...talk about getting thrown back into reality.....karate classes, dance classes, karate testing(BTW...John is a Senior Brown Belt now...in one year he could actually be testing to become a 1st level Black Belt!!!).
I've really missed being on this board with you all. Time has flown since we got back and I can't believe Christmas is just around the corner. Fortunately my shopping is done...except for stocking stuff...but I still have all of my wrapping. I started my baking yesterday but I still have about 2 days left of that.
I plan on trying to catch up on the last few pages when I have a little downtime...(like that's going to happen anytime soon).

I will try to check in soon!

Good Morning ,
It was a CRAZY night here. DS decided to get few many times last night and want to play and crawl around !!! So, I am very tired today !! Today I am off to Kohl's to look at Winter jackets for me. Wanted to get one for next year while they are on sale !!! Also have to stop at Babies R Us and get a gate for our stairs because Drew is crawling all over the place. Yesterday he meet me at the stairs !! This weekend we are busy!! Tomorrow my Mom and Dad are coming up and going to go Christmas shopping at My Mall. My Mom always wants to take Drew to see Santa in the Mall. Hopeful being with her grandson makes for alittle happy. Sunday we are going to dinner at my Mom's house. She was not in the Christmas spirit with everything that has happened but she decorated for Drew so she wanted him to see Grandma's house all decorated. What is everybody else doing?? Well I going to eat some breakfast and to Kohl's I go!! Talk to you all later

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

good morning,
Kelly,
glad you are still with us. I agree that the time has really flown by since we ot back.

Lynn, have fun shopping with grandma and grandpa!!
I love the way you referred to it as "My Mall".

Well today I need to ice some cookies so I can freeze them and wake some wafer cookies and freeze them too. Then just a day or 2 before Christmas i will make some chocolate fudge and be done with my baking.
I havnt decided whats for dinner yet, but it will be something simple because people snacking all day so no real reason to fix a big dinner.

Have a good friday everyone!!

Good Morning all:

Hey Wendy-I must have missed the conversations on the mat you had done for your picture. Did you do it the same as people did with the pillow case? Did you just take a blank mat to the desk and asked them to have all the characters sign?? It looks great!!

Lynn: as always what a cutie pie you have there. I did see you 3 on the ship was too shy to say anything to you...your little one is as gorgeous in person as in the pix!!

Still no word on my camera-I guess I just need to give up on it ever finding it's way home to me--well at least we have this next cruise to take more pictures

A few just for the heck of it.

Hey everyone ... sorry I haven't been around much. I keep reading the board but just haven't posted. It dawned on me yesterday and this is the first full week I've been home since the week before Thanksgiving! And I have so much shopping to do, don't have any wrapping done ... I'm starting to BAH HUMBUG a little!

Tonight we're going to Bill's company's Xmas dinner at a local Thai restaurant. We went there last year and it was very nice. The reservation is made under the last name is "Sims" but in there it comes out as "Shims pahrty"

Love and miss all my nana heads ... be good everyone! Talk to you soon!

I'm in the same boat Shell. I have been so behind on my client business that I haven't even stepped foot into the mall yet for shopping. I'm not usually a early get it out of hte way shopper but I'm also not usually a christmas eve shopper. I'm targeting Sunday (yikes) when the girls are at the Cheetah Girls concert and the loser football team in my town is playing - people will still be glued to their TVs so I'm hoping the crowds wont' be insane.

Our adults only (except for my two princesses who make an appearance just like in Sound of Music, just no singing - LOL) party is tomorrow night and we still have SO much to do. Emily was sick with a stomach bug yesterday and Elizabeth has been having recurring nosebleeds which led to a trip to the ENT this week. Never a dull moment. I'm editing a 66 page employee handbook for a client and am only 40 pages into it but wanted to have it done by Monday. Doesn't look like THAT is going to happen.

Ok I've wasted enough time here. I MUST get off to do SOMETHING that will cut into the long to-do list I have. For those reading my trip report, I'm afraid it's not going to be updated with the last two days until sometime next week. But i WILL finish it!

Have a great weekend everyone.

 

[LindaBabe]

We trust you'll finish, Jeff! Even Kathy can't whack you too hard during the holidays!

Shell, GLAD to see you!

Somehow, it will all get done.

Lunch today was at Buca de Beppo. We had the "pope" room, and a very good time was had by all! The chocolate cake was DIVINE!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Jeff,
since it is holiday time i will be understanding that you cant finish your trip report until next week Have a good weekend and I sure hope the girls get better soon!!!

Evening all:


Lynn: Drew is sooo cute.

Well Shell, I think I'm in the same boat you are. I really havent begun my shopping. I did get a few gifts, but still have the majority of shopping to do. So Wally and I are hopefully going to do some power shopping tomorrow. Luckily we dont have a lot to buy for and the kids just mainly get money so that helps. I thought before we left and people were talking about have their shopping done and decorations up that they were a little crazy (....ummm no offense anyone).....but in hindsight I can now see why. Next time we crusie at this time of year.....I will be more on the game and have a lot of this done before we leave.

Bob: Thanks for the info on DU. much appreciated.

Kathy: Can ya send some sweets this way....I dont think I have time to bake.
Well just waiting for food to be delivered cuz I just dont cook on fridays.....
talk with ya all later...

Denise

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Happy saturday,

Denise, are you sure you want my baking, after all I use pinto beans and baby food prunes in my baking????

I hope you get all caught up today.
I still have fudge to make but will wait until just before Christmas so it will be fresh for the holidays.
I hope to go and see the new movie "Deck the Halls" with Danny DiVito this weekend, but that is my only plans so far. I dont know if I really feel like going to WDW to see decxorations or not. This stupid cold just hangs on.

What plans do the rest of you have for the weekend???

Lynn, your probably out shopping, right???


Kathy

 

[TIGGER41681]

Good Morning
Okay I finished and posted the 1st day of my cruise report. The thread is
My 1st cruise Report 11-25-06 Cruising with the Nana Heads. I am going to finish the next two days and post them later when I get back from the Mall. Well last night I wanted to bake Christmas Cookies and also I fall asleep by 8pm because I was up at 2:30am with DS. Today or tomorrow I am going to make them. Well it's another Spring day here in NY. I can't believe that it is going to be almost 60 degree in the middle of December!!! No SNOW for Christmas . That's the only time I like snow!! Talk to you all later

Kathy: I am going out later with my mom and dad to My Mall so Drew can see Santa for the 1st time and ofcourse my Mom needs to finish Christmas shopping.

I would have loved to meet you when we were on the cruise!!!

 

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning, All!

Well off for a haircut, buy my wine gifts, get more copies made of my christmas card photo, and go to the bear store for a Santa outfit for OC. I forgot we didn't have him last Christmas (He was 'born' on Bruce's Birthday) so when all the bears got dressed in their finery, there was nothing for him. I guess he coulda worn Dimples extra dress, but somehow, I think BruceE would object to that!

Still need more snail addy's - you know who you are!

Have recipes now from Kathy and Laurie. I won't let you forget!

Happy Day, All!

 

[LindaBabe]

OH, MY. GOSH!

I just got a call from Mary Jo on the Disney Magic. They HAVEN't been able to find my map. SO they got a real navigational chart and had the courses for three of the cruises plotted on it, and a SECOND chart for the Western cruise and I should be receiving both within a couple weeks. I am totally in tears. Not the same as having my own, of course, but WAY WAY more than I ever thought possible. Thank you for the pixie dust y'all wafted in my direction.

 

[disneediva]

Well I finally finished and wrapped all my presents, which is a good thing because I work all weekend. Last night we took DS to see Eragon and actually found it quite enjoyable. I must get back to work I will check in later.

Wendy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

i do have a couple more recipes I will send soon.

I thought before we left and people were talking about have their shopping done and decorations up that they were a little crazy (....ummm no offense anyone).....but in hindsight I can now see why.

Just to reiterate this statement:

Jan? Please forgive me for calling you a nut for having everything done before we left. You were right ... I was wr ... I was wro ... I WAS WRONG! (that hurt!)

 

[woogal]

Linda, that's AWESOME !!! DCL comes thru again (they must love bananas )!!
