[U2Pixies]

Hi everyone! Remember me?

Bob we are trying to get our pictures out to you! I hope we aren't the last ones. I'm always the last for everything!

Jeff - I'm enjoying your trip report. Makes me feel like I'm still on the deep blue sea. Wish I was!

Hope all is well with everyone and you all had a great holiday. I know I did...5 pounds worth!

Hi Pat,
so glad you posted. I hope you'll post some pictures soon.
each time someone shares photos we all relive a part of our cruise!! Just like reading trip report. Maybe you could write one of those too!! I would love to read it.


Linda,
no menu here for next weekend?? Bobs menu sounded good to me!!
Maybe I will spoil my guys with biccuits and sausage gravy. They love it, but due to high fat and cholesterol I dont make it too often.
Perhaps a cherry or apple pie for dessert?? Hopefully all the Christmas goodies will be gone by then so they will have room for some pie.

I just finished watching the Shaggy Dog starring Tim Allen. It was a cute show, pretty crazy but still fun to watch. I saw the original version many years ago and liked it so I was afraid to see a remake, they usually are a disappointment after seeing the original, but I liked this one.


Linda I am glad you had so many pictures to send Bob, that makes up for us not having a huge amount to send. I know those mosiacs take a lot of photos to look good.

we were very cold again last night, low 40's but it is a beautiful 65 degree day out which is really nice. Minnie even took a nap on the lounge chair outside today.

I will check back later today to see who all has checked in today,

Kathy

Hey all:

Just a quick hello...at work.

Linda no plans for New years....what we normally do is go out for an early dinner, then spend the evening home...stay up until midnight....say happy new year then go to bed........I know, you guys are sooo jealous, we live such an exciting life.
this year, since our daughter will be home, we are going to try and convience her to having dinner with her mom and dad......I know she will be thrilled about that.

Talk with ya all later

Denise

PAT!!!! Good to hear from you!

Denise, since this was your first cruise....your report is gonna be really interesting....cant wait to see it.

New years...a pork product of some kind (usually a roast)....mashed tatties....saurkraut ---that was always our tradition.

Hey Kathy...I hope Greg feels better...
(btw....do you remember that "Cheri" girl and her family? Its all a bit fuzzy to me.....hehehe)

Enjoy the day folks....I sure hope that whip doesn't reach all the way from Florida to Ohio.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

My whip can reach all over the earth and outer space if need be!!!
Just ask my kids!!!

You'd better be looking over your shoulder with talk like that Bill!!

Just remember I never get mad, but I DO get EVEN!!! Even if it takes all year !!

Bob, if I knew how to make turnip greens as good as they make at House of Blues I would make them in a heartbeat. I LOVE 'em! I do make hoppin' John on New Years day. Kathy, likewise sausage gravey - I LOVE it, but only get it in truckstops when we drive west. Roast pork sounds good too.

While food is on my mind (when is it not?) . . . Anybody got any recipes for leftover turkey? I fed 7, gave everybody care packages to take home, and made turkey crunch for supper last night, but i've still got at LEAST two meals worth left. HELP.

Lynn, are you feeling better? How's A's tooth?

Woo, what's a big supermarket chain near you? I need to send a gift card to someone in your area . . .


Sleep sweetly!

Hi there- We are still trying to decide what to have to eat on new years. We are having a small party here with no kids We were talking about getting chinese or making something else. I voted for chinese so we don't have to cook.

Today I took the kids to see Charolttes Web. It is a really cute movie. Yesterday I went to see the Holiday. That was a great chick flick!! I would reccomend it to all of you ladies. It's a story.

Denise-That is great your daughter is coming home. I hope you guys enjoy your time together. She is in the service right? What branch of the military is she in?

Kathy-I saw that crazy chimp head that you got for Christmas in Target today. The lady that works there said we just can't get rid of it. I wonder why?? It is more scary looking in person

Well off to get some things done. I have been gone most of today with the kids. Tomorrow my sister in law and her 3 kids will be here for the night. Have a good evening.

If you need Cleveland, try Heinen's. If Akron, Giant Eagle.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

morning all,
Happy Friday to everyone!!

Please if you party this weekend, then please dont !!! I dont want to loose any of my new family to drunk driving!!!

We are staying home and watching movies we got for Christmas.

Ok, it has come to my attention that a few of you still havnt finished your trip reports??
You now have 3 days off, at least most of you do, so I hope you will all finish your reports. I am anxious to them.

I must warn you I am NOT a patient person, so unless you want me to get tough and bring back the WHIP, you'd better get busy and finish them!!
After I got tough with Jeff, he got his finished.
So this is your warning unless you want a mean old lady tormenting you!!You'd better get them done.

Now to those of you who HAVE NOT posted a report, you are not safe from the whip either You know who you are! What is your excuse for not writing a report? I expect to see a trip report from all of you, even if it's only a couple of paragraphs long.

No excuses, you all took the trip and have experiences and opinions to express about it, so lets share them!!! Lets show the dis board that we were an awesome group that really had a great time together!! I dont think there has ever been a cruise where all the dis members posted a report!!
Lets be the first to do it!!

come on people it's not that hard to do. It is even fun to relive some of your favorite moments on board the ship or on the islands.
You know who you are, DONT make me list names!!!

I will be watching for more reports from everyone, ASAP

Kathy

Thanks Woo, Heinens it is.

Kathy, let me get my scrapbook done, and I'll give you a visual trippie.

Turkey leftovers recipes, anyone??

Happy Day All! (I'm on VACATION!)

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Linda, a visual trip sounds AWESOME!!!

I will be looking forward to it,

Hey All ,
What a nightmare it has been in my house!! Well DH is home again. He went to the Dentist and his old root canal rotted and caused an infection in the gum. He is in soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much pain. Well as for me I am still alittle stuffy but nothing major. I have to go so much today. I am going to get my food shopping done today and do a few returns at Kohl's and a return and Toys R Us and then home. Well I finally organized my living room. We got the toy chest that my parents bought Drew all set up and it is filled to the top with toys already !! I wonder that his birthday is going to be like !! I am glad we are looking for a house !! Well let me go check on the patient!!
Talk to you later
Kathy: I am finishing my report today because I only have alittle left!!!

 

[TIGGER41681]

Linda,
No big plans here for New Year's. I like I am going to make steak and mashed potatoes and carrots for New Year's Day. I have to see how Andrew is feeling and if he can chew!! Well have a great vacation and I hope you have warm weather!!

 

[pgfour]

Good morning everyone!

My name is Cheri and I was on your cruise. I even ran into a few of you on board! (Sorry Kathy, just had to remind you who I was! )

No major plans for New Year's. We've been invited to a party, so we may go early and come back early, then just be home for the last few hours of 2006. OR we may just stay home the whole night!

Linda -- turkey soup, turkey hash, turkey a'la king, turkey sandwiches -- oh wait, that's what Ralphie's mom usually made with her turkey leftovers! We're still working on leftovers from our Cristmas Eve party so lunch everyday consists of meatballs, sandwiches, and veggies & dip!

Lynn -- hope Andreew starts feeling better soon!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Cheri

Cheri

So sorry we didn't get to meet Cheri. Maybe you can post a picture of your family so we can all see if we recognize you. Hope to meet you on the next 'nana head cruise!

 

[disneediva]

Kathy, I will try really hard to get it done , but unlike the rest of you guys I work the next 4 days, hospitals don't close for the holidays, which I find very rude mind you.

I will try to get the next part done.

Wendy

Couldn't remember where someone posted the "what do you do for New Year's" question so I just posted my answer on the 07 board. But now I'm reading here and I think it was here. So forgive my double post. I really gotta narrow this down to one board to keep up with!

Happy New Year to All.
We will go out to dinner (the whole gang) relatively early and then head home and have a home based New Year's Rockin' Eve. Elizabeth found a New Year's Eve kit last year at Target and she wants to get another for this year. It comes filled with hats, noisemakers, etc. and then we make some popcorn and guacamole and stay up late. If it wasn't for the kids, I probably would have a tough time making it til midnight!

Then New Year's Day, we are like Bill, we gotta have the pork and saurkraut. Not my favorite meal of the year, but my mom (despite being Italian) drilled it into my head that we needed to eat that for good luck for the year. We also observe a Greek tradition (Mina is Greek and her mom hails from an island and is stuck here in Pittsburgh - poor Elli) in cutting the New Year's bread. There is a coin hidden inside and whomever gets it in their slice will have good luck for the year. You even cut a piece for "the house" - i'm not really sure why - you just do.

Linda - Mina is hoping to submit her baklava recipe for the cookbook if she ever gets 10 minutes to sit down and type it.

Bob - I'm on my way to the post office right now to get that CD in the mail. Sending you my brochure (for my biz) as well.

So what are everyone's New Year's Resolutions. I used to make fun of the people who would show up at the gym starting on January 2 but after 3 months of complete chaos in my world (work, family, vacation and the holidays) I am one of them.

Happy day everyone!

Hey Everybody!

I have a special request for a picture, if you have one available. I am looking for a picture of the completed Gingerbread house on the ship, with no people in it. I don't know if anyone has one, but if you do, please e-mail it to me (most of you should have my e-mail from one of Shell's recent mailings). Thanks!

Jeff: I will be eagerly awaiting the CD and brochure!

Bob,
