*OFFICIAL CC GROUP CRUISE*"Spirit of the 'Magic'al Dream" CARNIVAL MAGIC, FEB 26,2012

[Koval]

Hawaii is my next one after Magic, I have put it aside by three cruise's now.

Marie and I will most likely put something together for 2013 for Hawaii. (that's my plan anyway)

 

Mine to Chelle...I know we have pushed it out kinda far. But we love our sibs!

Bummer it is not after V-day for Judie and Janet, But I really think I want to stick with Carnival..

Nothing set in stone though.

[Koval]

Up at the BCOD this morning

20 degrees out and off to work I go...

Make it a great day all...

[PoofyTheCat]

Am I correct in saying that Hawaiian cruises via Carnival are always 15 day cruises. No way we could pull that one off. :(

 

We could, at most, pull a 9 day cruise in 2013. But that's two years away, so things could chance. :)

[Cathy p]

Good morning, SMDers!

Happy Saturday to all that get to sleep in only on the weekends.lol Also to everyone else.

Nothing planned for today just enjoying the mid 80 weather with lots of sun. Yes I am bragging and I love it.

Bobbie, have a great time I wish I was with you.

Waving at everyone and hope you have a great day. Love ya,

Good afternoon SMDers. Yup, another great day out today. Temps up in the 80's (just like Cathy p).

Sorry I have been MIA, but West called me friday morning and said that he had gotten everything done that he needed to do and asked if I wanted to go down to the coast (Corpus Christi). Needless to say I went. Didn't get alot of sleep as someone in the area now has a rooster that doesn't know the time. Damn thing would be making noise all night long. Time for someone to have a nice chicken dinner:eek:. lol

I have updated our list and with heavy heart took Mimi and Andy off the list. So, now I think it is up to date.

Marie/Chelle - Hawaii still sounds good to me!

Janet - I know about Judie schedule with V-day and that is why this cruise is after V-day:D.

Andrea - Hint, we have 52 from today before we sail. Hope your doing better.

Cathy p - I sure wish we had a market like that here. Nothing like fresh vegs.

Hi Bobbie and Lori.

OK, time to get some stuff done and the Spurs game tonight. Back later.

[flippr5657]

Hi all

Well what a couple of weeks I have put in. :eek:

Much better now, though antibiotics are a good thing.

I go for a follow up xray on Tuesday, just to make sure that the pneumonia is going away.

I have taped the race, as Dave had to work today so we will watch it tonight after the other race..... Amazing Race

Jeeze I love that show!!!

Cathy I see you sent me an email..you are so sweet for thinking of me , I will reply tonight. xo :)

Anyways I'm back in the saddle again (hopefully) so let me just make it official

 

52 MORE WEEKS UNTIL WE ARE SAILING AWAY ON THE MAGIC!!!!

 

take good care

peace

andrea

[1tuckersmom]

WooooooHooooo 1 more year!

 

Thanks Andrea for the countdown. This year will pass before we know it and then we will be sailing again.;)

 

Happy Sunday to all you SMDers!!

 

Enjoy whatever you are doing, whatever you are watching ect. ect.:p

[ooulio]

Just wanted to say a quick hello. We are thinking about taking the Magic. We aren't sure about going to Galveston. Rich told me the fog isn't as bad as they keep saying. We did Cozumel before. We got off and went to the shopping market. Vanilla is great there.

WE did the Miracle in Feb. It was okay. Group was not Janet and Judie. They were so much more fun. There were a few nice people. Miracle was okay. Just was checking in . Everyone have a great nite. Esther

Oh Esther, come on along...

It is all about the people this time around...

And you know you love the people...

Gunna be a great cruise no matter what, even if we are stuck in the fog, as long as they let us on the ship, and feed us, I'll be happy.

I wonder if that is what happened last week?

[satex]

Ya, the Spurs won again. They tried to give it away in the 3rd quarter, but managed to come back and win the game.

Esther - glad to see ya on the boards. You know that this group is going to have a blast and since you are part of the family, you should just go ahead and book the cruise and join the rest of the us! Hoping you can join us.

Andrea - missed ya! So glad to hear that your doing better and your back with the countdown.

Hi Bobbie

Thank you Rich. We really appreciate that!

Hi Esther!! Its great seeing you here! We really want you to come with us!! You are a sib, and we want all our sibs with us!!

[Cathy p]

Good morning, SMDers!

Did someone say retired and not have to get up? I must have missed the word as we have been up since 6. Kenny took the dogs out at 5:40 and I thought it was 4:40. He was not back in bed at 6 so I jumped out of bed, put on slippers,robe and then out the front door like a mad woman. I was so worried I thought something happened. He comes walking around the corner and tells me he was only gone for 20 mins. OK by that time I was a wreck and no sleeping for me.:eek:

I guess we will get to the pool a bit earlier than planned. Temp 85 and sunny today. Oh ya did I say I love this place.

Rich, sorry I don't care for chicken so can't help you with the noisy guy.lol

Andrea, thanks for the email and now you have mail. So glad to hear that you are back with us.

Well that is it from the BCOD East Coast version, chat later.

[1tuckersmom]

Hi Cathyp, guess it is you and me this morning.;)

 

I wasn`t up at the BCOD, but I was up early as our weather has been rocky all night and still is this morning.:eek:

 

I do not sleep well when the weather is a problem. After all this time I should know when Spring arrives in Ms so does the storms but I`ve never learned to cope.:(

 

We are under a tornado watch until 2:00 this afternoon so I have my eyes on the sky.

 

Our temps have been right up there with yous and Rich`s but I think we will have a cool down for a few days after the storms pass thru.

 

Hope everyone has a great day, if we don`t lose our power I am going to work on some more pressing and packing for our Mateys cruise...

 

WooooHooo!! :)

 

Oh waving to Esther!!! Happy to see you here. Sure hope you will book this cruise and come along with us.. You know we will have fun.

[satex]

Good afternoon SMDers. Temps a little coller then yesterday, but still up around 80. Yesterday it got up to 87 (too hot for this time of year).

Working on car insurance this morning. I tried this free rate quote on the internet with several different companies and got one from GEICO for half of what I'm paying Allstate now. I called my agent and he doesn't understand that and said that he will look into it. He'd better get back with some good news or off to GEICO I go.

Bobbie - sorry to tell you this, but a cold front came through this morning about 3 and its heading east. Hopefully it is just a bunch of wind like we got.

Cathy p - I think I will try that retirement thing here in about 8 months or so. Maybe I can stay in bed late?

Hi Janet

[jandjfun]

Guess waht? Judie and I are 19 days from seeing each other again! Bout time!!:D

[Koval]

Just popping in to say Hi...

Very wet here, the snow is gone, and the buckets of rain have come

Now I have a lake in my back yard.

Well, a couple of lakes really...

Stormy days bring on babies right?

[satex]

Good evening SMDers from the front lobby of the VA hospital, San Antonio, Tx (or from my desk!).

Busy night tonight, but that makes it go even faster.

Janet - I know that you and Judie will have a blast. Say Hi for me.

Marie - lakes? Oh that's right, the pond is in the front yard:p.

Hope everyone has a great night.
