Hi Marylou & Martha

Yeah, Peggy!! Glad to hear you and Elaine got your docs!

Still none here.

Just got home from work and am hungry so I'm going to fix something.

Have a good evening

Just a quick good morning before I go wake up my company. I'll teach them not to keep my up til all hours of the early morning. lol

Having a great time with our neighbors but can't wait for them to leave tomorrow. As soon as they leave our guest room turns into CruiseCentral and the luggage comes up from the basement.

Peggy - congrats on the docs.

Martha - your's should be along any day now, especially since you are leaving on the Majesty before the Jewel. I would have thought you would have been first to receive yours.

Be back tomorrow - time to make some noise and get these folks up and moving. They have taken over my guest room, my living room and even my dining room.

Good morning!

MaryLou- that is what is happening tomorrow. Putting on some sweats and pulling out the suitcases. I will call my TA tomorrow and see what is what re: cruise docs.

I can't believe only 28 more days until I am on vacation!!

Marylou - The nerve of them taking over the cruise room in your house - don't they know you have to start packing LOL - I am sure your having a great time though.

I am sending Lisa up to the attic today and she hopefully will bring down my suitcases - my daughter thinks if your leaving on a vacation on Monday you should not pack until Sunday night - I drive her crazy when I start packing weeks before LOL

Martha - 28 days for you - you must be really excited - and I know you are looking forward to not having to be at work giving out those shots (ouch).

Nothing much going on around here today - my daughter is going to work so Nick and I will be around we will have to figure something out.

5 WEEKS TIL WE BOARD THE JEWEL AND SAIL OFF TO THE PANAMA CANAL

Be back later to chat - have a mountain of dirty sheets and towels to deal with first.

Good morning, MaryLou & Peggy!

Yeah, a whole day off!! You must get bored with me telling you how tired I am. I know I BORE myself about it, too!!!

MaryLou- Can you believe only 5 more weeks??? Are you excited yet? I am starting to panic a little thinking of everything we have to do in 4 weeks!! I always get like this before we leave on a cruise.

I won't be sleeping the week before, I know!

Peggy- now, what exactly are your plans? When do you leave and how are you getting to Fla? Are you and Elaine both travelling together or separately?

Will check back later!!

Hi Marylou & Martha

Martha - Elaine and I are leaving together on the 6th of Dec. my Bday and we will celebrate my Bday on AMTRAK (YUCK) I have to learn to fly, LOL - anyway I will bring us a sandwich and a cupcake so we can sing to me LOL

We are going to Ft. Lauderdale, where people on met 6 yrs ago on the Brillance of the Seas are picking us up, we will spend the night with them - very nice people and I can't wait to see them. We never get bored of hearing you say your tired - you work too hard, and I am always tired anyway so we have something in common.

Marylou - Don't let anyone else stay at your house till after the cruise is over - it's too much - I am getting bad as I get older and staying to dislike anyone staying over LOL -

Last night Nick fell off the WII fit board and then tripped over the dog and sprained his foot - it really swelled up bad last night even with ice - so we took him to the Dr. today and he thought it maybe fractured and set him for Xrays but it's a sprain - he will need crutches on Wed. to go back to school.

Can u imagine - this is the 3rd time the he hurt his foot and once it was broken -next a sprain and now this one. Gee, people are going to think I push him around or something LOL.

I was watching my friends daughter when she was 7 -now she is 14 and Nick was 2 and she told him to jump down the stairs she said she would catch him but she missed and his instep fractured.

Talk to you later

Peggy

Peggy- What a nice b'day present to yourself: a PC cruise!! Good for you!

Sorry to hear Nick hurt his foot. Sprains are sometimes worse that fractures; sometimes take longer to heal.

I tried on all my bathing suits and they all fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YoooHoooo!

Have to see the Dr. tomorrow for fasting bloodwork. You got it, MaryLou- the coffee comes with me!

Just received an email from our TA; docs are in; will pick them up tomorrow!!

Will check in later....

[cruisetarp]

Peggy - I hope Nicholas' foot is better today. How long will he be on crutches?

Martha - glad you finally got a day off. Those fasting blood work-ups can be a real pain especially if you are an early riser and you have to sit around thinking about that first cup of coffee. Just remember not to sample it on the way to the lab.

Getting very excited now - already turned the guest room into "CruiseCentral" and will not have any more overnight guests til after the cruise. We usually have my brother Doug and SIL Carol stay over after Thanksgiving dinner here but they will be in Italy this year so no overnight guests. I started going thru the mountains of information I have collected over the last year and will get rid of the things I don't need any more.

Did laundry all day today and still have about 3 more loads for tomorrow. I really can't figure out how they used so many towels.

Time for dinner - one of the good things about having weekend company is having leftovers for a day or so afterwards.

Talk to you both tomorrow.
