Who was it that needed to buy a tree??? Check out amazon.com for a prelit 350 one marked down to 30!!!

 

[MrsMork]

Yeah . . . Whoa . . .

Where is the sale on Spanx and ASSets?

John1

Ah, actually they did have Spanx, John1. Don't know if it was on sale or not though. You'll have to go check it out if you are needing some.

 

[MrsMork]

Thanks for the tip Angie!

I was able to order 8 bras for under $50 with shipping. I also added a few other item but my order came to just over $70 total so !

My BF and I were today. Neither of us can ever remember actually owning 8 brand new bras!

 

[waltsgirl]

When did everyone else drop off their mats? We didn't get around to it until Monday morning and they took my sharpies and signed in all the colors for our two mats.

I dropped ours off Saturday afternoon before the sailaway party. I had everything in a bag with our room number and name on it. I had instructions written out and just handed it to guest services. The woman asked just a couple questions and said everything was fine.

I received the book back Friday night.

I think it's great they offer to do this and would have been happy with any colors.

 

[lbgraves]

Catch ya'll in a few. We are off to the land of no cable....no internet....no phones. WAHHHHHH!!!!!!! They have a card to use their phone so I can't dial out. I have loaded the air mattress, clothes, gifts, food, drinks, paper plates & stuff, along with the crock pot. I will be sure to pack up the slim fast bars & drinks too so that I will be covered if something is questionable.

 

[elaineteresa]

Yeah, umm... all FOUR of ours broke...please forward those when you can.

I thought it was hard plastic actually - ours made it home in one piece but our cruise line picture frame from the Romance package was a casualty. the glass broke despite being wrapped in the DCL robe. alas.

We love our ornament - thanks so much Caroline!!!

The kids also had $10 that was burning a hole in their pockets. DS picked out a big rig to haul cars with. Just when I think he is growing up. LOL! DD had to add a little allowance money to get herself the wedding Genevieve doll and a bag of zoo animals. I have been looking for a barbie wedding dress for 4 months now & can't find them anywhere in the stores. Why don't they make them like they use to when I was a kid???

because if Barbie is drinking the milk for free why buy the cow? or something like that!!!

LOL.

I turned my stuff in on saturday around 3-ish.

I was worried about that picture frame so I actually put mine in my carry on backpack.

 

[kimerinc]

Sophia had her braided and wants to leave it in until her cousins come home on Saturday. She has not complained once and says they do not hurt or anything.

Savannah took hers out yesterday! She says it hurt like the dickens. (that's a me thing) But, she loved having them after they were done.

 

[pyramid2000]

My family and I really appreciated all of the little gifts we got throughout the week. It made the cruise that much more special!!!! I wish I had gotten on here sooner...but you guys know how it can get!!!! Due to Jakes motion sickness I don't think we will be cruising for quite a while. The poor boy was so out of it the last morning he couldn't even lift his head. We went to Disney for 4 days. He slept for 4 hours straight after getting off the ship. He woke up and was the little Jake we love!!!! He thanked me for taking him off of the boat! Although, he wants to go back on it again.

Awwwwwww Poor Kid!! I wonder why it affected him so much? He looked like he was having a good time when I saw him! Dina misses him!!

 

[kimerinc]

Just in case Amy did not already post it, yeah, Sophia stayed home today too . . . Sore tummy.

John1

Savannah had a stuffy nose and did not feel well for 3 days, but all was better by Christmas!

 

[pyramid2000]

Lisa - I did see the one of John2 and the girls swarming him in the tube!!
Very cute!

John (and Amy), you guys must know how bad I am with words at this point. I can only imagine what your mom's cards meant this holiday season. I can't tell you how much you mean to us - AND your "BUCS" magnet is safe on our fridge....still.....but John2 had the OSU coozie out hexing it for the basketball game ~ the toothbrush is being fought over three ways... (Haley said - "forgetaboutit")

On a serious note, I know I am usually trying for the fun side of things and that I have probably not said many things I wish to be repeated about my own family....but no matter what I have said I respect and appreciate my mother in more ways than you can imagine. How she was when I was growing up, compared to my sister, made the three of us who we are.

This past week has been a scary one for my mom. And for me and Amber. We think she has breast cancer. She is not telling us the truth, she is not even telling us the same story. My sister, firstly is freaking since she feels its hereditary --- or contagious...me, I am frantic...for my mother....she is going through a divorce and my sister moved out about a year ago, so she is really on her own and is a very "keep to yourself" person.

any extra thoughts or prayers please send my dear mom's way, thanks...

V.

My mom went through this a number of years ago, as well as two of her three sisters. I know what has a good chance of being dealt to me...

Please try to get her to talk about it with you. Take her out to lunch or somewhere private and maybe she can confide in you.

 

[kimerinc]

Here's one of my favorites, especially because Walt went up and talked to Cinderella willingly. They had a quick chat (wish I knew what it was, but they were looking at each other's hands), then he took her hand for the photo.

Now there is a real prince charming!

 

[elaineteresa]

Yes, she was cruising with her mom & kid. I only saw her in the terminal when I gave her the stocking & when I checked them in Tuesday morning. There were quite a few people who stayed away from the masses on the ship.

Susie and George were our table mates at late dining and her mother Raquel. They were great. I noticed they were also in the sail away pic too. They were spending a week at WDW after the cruise - Susie's husband was meeting them and Raquel was returning to LA.

 

[pyramid2000]

Alex, Amy and I just spent an hour playing Disney "Scene it" - we just got it to play today, and it was a lot of fun!

John1

Isn't it fun! Girls got it for Christmas, but have played it many times before. I need to get the new cards already.

 

[kimerinc]

Heck NO!

You are a DIS Geek whether you can come on 12/8/07 or not!

We asked Lisa if we could continue the thread for us that are going to be on the cruise on 12/8, and after that it will probably be the one that you guys join us in 2008.

Those of us going on 12/8 want to keep in touch with our 2006 friends - too hard for most of us to break away to another thread! We KNOW you guys!

And Becka, add me to the list who say that your kids were NO worse than ANY others! You should have seen Sophia's meltdown on the last night of the cruise, when I would not let her have friends over for a sleepover! I though her head was going to start spinning!

All kids have their moments.

John1

John, Steve and I were laughing to hard at that comment we couldn't even talk to explain to Savannah why Sophia's head was going to spin. We laughed about it on the flight and all the way home. We are going to use it on Savannah now!

 

[pyramid2000]

oh, that's something he started with Samantha.....the child would never be still to have her pants changed so he started the "daddy diaper head" comedy routine to try and keep them entertained.

Happy Birthday Carla!!

What's with the new boards? I can't edit a post, quick reply is not working???

Happy Birthday Carla!!!

Just what DID they do to the boards while they were down? I do see some changes, just not in the spped of things.

At least I can use smilies agian.

 

[Jhalkias]

Isn't it fun! Girls got it for Christmas, but have played it many times before. I need to get the new cards already.

Played it again tonight, but I can see we will need the other set of cards soon . . .

We also enjoyed the electronic "Catch Phrase".

Nathan got in a bit of trouble last night. He sat in DD's stroller and tried to break it after we told him to stay away from it and then after DD went to bed he took her Cinderella shoes in his room and tore off the Cinderella light up and bow part off one shoe. Thankfully DH was able to put the shoe back together with a twisty tie and the stroller was not damaged although there might be a very tiny bend in one of the frames.

I was NOT happy last night so he lost his big Power Ranger megazord and his Shake n' Go car track thing until he learns to treat his sister's stuff with some respect. He was NOT happy to hear that. If he behaves this morning he can get one of the toys back when Allie goes down for her nap. If he continues to behave he can get the other one back when DH gets home. He was upset but I think he seems to understand why we did it. He purposely picked DD's favorite two things to try to break so it only seemed right that we took away two of his favorites. I told DH that I did not think it would be the right impression if we didn't go for the big stuff. He seems in a good mood this morning and hopefully he will start acting a little better as well.

Oh the joys of motherhood! sitting in strollers is big around here. Just don't let Allie see him do it.
