Hi Martha - I don't know what to tell you about Miami Parking. We were also counting on it being free. They did not say either way whether they would charge or not. I guess we will just have to wait and see as the time gets closer. Keep your fingers crossed!!

I loved that line about e-mailing them. Have you added them to your address book yet. lol.

The line I really liked though is when he said "as time gets closer we will relinquish the respective lists to Martha, Ann & MaryLou. RELINQUISH the list. I darn near feel off the chair when I read that one. At least it started my day off with a laugh.

Need to get back to packing but it's good to hear from you.

I got in an uproar last night when I read about them asking for the reply from Lee Miles!!! They aren't even going!!! I didn't even get it until Mon. pm, anyway!! Lee finally just started laughing and then I laughed and went to bed. Don't p**# off a redhead; a tired one at that!!

I'm glad he will feel free to "relinquish" our lists! Probably doesn't trust me to do it according to his specifications!!

Hi

relinquish the lists LOL LOL I saw that too I thought it was pretty funny - I am suprised they are going to relinquish anything.

And why would we want to e-mail them ?????? LOL

Peggy

Oh BTW - we kept MTD and early seating was full - I was happy about that

Good morning friends. TGIF but that doesn't mean too much to Martha who has to work all weekend. I hope things are quiet at work for you but I'm sure you will be busy.

Peggy - you and Elaine have a lot of planning to do now. Will she want to eat in Portofino's or Chops? No price cut for us but good for you on getting one. Maybe next week!

Have a ton of things to do before we leave and hope to be on the road by noon. Hope to be able to check in while I'm there but who knows. Their connections are not the greatest.

Peggy - Dave called last night to report Colin is sick with a stomach bug so let me see what we are walking into and maybe then we can make plans to meet next week. It would have to be Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and it would have to be around noon so I can be home in time to get the kids off the school bus.

Hi MaryLou & Peggy!

Quick check in before leaving for work....

MaryLou- have a safe drive and I hope Colin is feeling better; sounds like the same bug I had. It's going around.

Peggy- so happy for you that you got your roommate!

Got a call last night. It was my son. He said Ashley wants to talk to you. She had picked up his phone and said, "Call Memama now!" She got on the phone and told me she loved me and wanted to have a "party" (our sleepovers). Told her soon so she told her Daddy, "We go over to Memama's house now for a party!!"

Have a great w/e!

Hi Marylou & Martha

I typed a whole post and was in the middle of dying my hair and the timer went off and I hit the wrong button and lost the post grrrrr.

I wanted to ask the both of you if you know if the Jewel has a Murder Mystery dinner show?

Marylou - I hope Colin will feel better by the time you get there - don't hug him too much we don't want you to get sick. Monday is the only day I can go to Ct. Lisa is working a double on Tues and on Wed. I have to work with my son. I hope that Monday will work out.

Elaine will not eat at the specialty rest. I pretty much know that for sure. But I still want too so I am going to try and work that out.

Martha - You must be so tired from working but you will have a lot of extra money to spend on the cruise.

That was so cute about your granddaughter - kids are so adorable sometimes.

I don't know if this helps but when I drove to Fort Lauderdale a few years ago we had to pay for parking at the pier.

Good morning, Mary Lou & Peggy,

Peggy- I'm sorry, but I don't know about the Murder Mystery Dinner. Sorry you lost your post; that is the most annoying thing!! What are your plans for the w/e?

MaryLou- how is Colin? Hope he is doing better. Hope Dave and his wife have a wonderful time on their cruise!

Time to leave for work; only 5 days more to work!

Have a good day.

Martha

Good mmorning friends. Just got back from soccer where I froze my a** off. Both kids won their games. Coli plays like crazy - all over the field and very good. Made several great saves and 2 goals. Paige on the other hand is there strictly for the social aspect. If they ball comes near her she head in the opposite direction. Her team won DESPITE her. lol

Sorry Peggy - have no idea about the Murder Mystery dinner but of course you can join us even if Elaine won't go.

Time to hit the grocery store and get some real food here. Jim likes neither decaf coffee in the morning or the hawaiian macadamian nut blend they have here and I personally think there should be a law against decaf tea bags. lol

Hi Marylou & Martha

For some reason I have brain freeze - and can't remember how to sign up for the M&M I told elaine I would do it for her - I did the set sail pass for both of us but can't find the M&M.

My other question is - do we have 2 or 3 formal nights - I always though 11 nighters were 2 but Elaine said she thought it was 3.

I missed Nicks soccer game today I went to Charlie Browns for lunch. That was more fun better than freezing out there.- I guess Colin feels better.

Lisa is off again she is going to the movies with her b/f hope they enjoy it.

I will check back later

Peggy - you have to go to that "other" site. Go to the roll call page and at the top there should be a link to register for the M & M. It opens another winder and down near the bottom of the page there is a link to click on to register. You will need Elaine's booking #.

As far as I know there are 2 formal nights on our cruise.

Martha - hope you got thru one more day and are one day closer to getting a rest. You said somewhere that you are a redhead. Well I am about to go do battle with my little redhead (Paige) over getting into the shower and picking out her clothes for church tomorrow. Wish me luck - I think I'll need it.

Will check in sometime tomorrow. Peggy I'll call you tomorrow if you want to do lunch on Monday.
