Radiance 9-14-07 Polar Bear Express "Special"!

Morning everyone,

Today is Wednesday so it's off the the grocery store. Oh, and it's SNOWING again. Have about 2 inches on the ground.

Susan, have a wonderful cruise. I would love to see Jim go away for about a month on a fishing trip.............that's all the time I need to get the garage and basement "remodeled"!!

Kathy, I'll say it "again"..............have a great cruise.

Have a great day..................back later.

Good Morning Ladies,

Manicure, pedicure and haircut this morning and afternoon.

Hope everyone has a nice day,

BV to everyone traveling this week.

Okay, have a little break to catch up.

If you guys didn't see the email from Jul it is on pg 20 all the way at the bottom

She is having a good time, but one of the twins is sick, so she is worried.

Not sure why she can't get on CF.

Brenda, good luck with the Rodeo, I know it must be a lot of hard work.

Patti, If you get sick of the snow, you could come on out to California, I hear Southwest is going to have some $99 deals.

Susan, I know how frustrating it is to lose good employees, hope all works out and you are able to relax on your cruise.

Ginny, enjoy your day!

Mar - Have fun packing (the worst part of a cruise)...and have a great cruise!

Nahhhhh! The worst part is packing to come home.

double nahhhhhhhhhhh--the worst is unpacking all the crap once you get home!!!!! truthfully, my backpack from my Nov cruise is still not unpacked and now wo't be--I'll just go through it-- and replenish, take out, put in--for our next one march 8th

Treble Nahhhhhhh............The worst part is...................wait for it................listening to the wife complain as she unpacks the crap after arriving home.

I'll go and hide now.

Good afternoon--

Do hope all is well with the twins, sorry Jul has to worry while being away.

Took Aunt to view one of the choices for assisted living, she did not like it. Ken will take her to the one we liked best on Friday. We have to wait for the weather to warm, the one today was attached to the rehab she is at so did not have to go outside. We are having quite a cool spell.

back later-

It is down right COLD....Would not be so bad if the wind was not blowing like crazy!!!
What Asst. living places are you looking at??
We will keep the twins in our prayers and know that Jul must be anxious being so far away...Later, Jill

Hi Jill- well we ruled out the Fountains in S. Pasadena and like Arbor Oaks in the Tyrone Mall area. Since I leave on Friday, Ken will be on his own. Sorry that we could not get together, seems like we have hardly been here.

Evening all! Had a pretty good day. Went over our 2009 objectives and bonus plan with my boss today and he had some great things to say about me! Always good to hear. Any my "star" employee who is supposed to transfer to the other department is having second thoughts after only 3 days, so I may get her back after all!!! Woo Hoo!

Jul, try to enjoy your cruise and we will all say our blessing for the babies.

Nancy, good luck with your assisted care search.

Jill, I wouldn't be so worried about the remodel if Ray knew anything about using a hammer! LOL The last time I backed away and let him take charge of a remodel his brother and he put a drop ceiling in our laundry room of our first house. They ran the supports the wrong way and 2 days after they hung it, it all fell down on top of me when I was doing laundry! If he would just tell me what he has planned so I can give some input, I would be ok, but leaving him to make all the decisions is a disaster waiting to happen!

Patti, hope you didn't get too much more snow! NE Indiana got slammed with lake effect snow, but thankfully we are snow free... well, at least new-snowfall free!

Off to update the IPOD and pay the bills....

Susan, one of the things I miss about late husband is that he was so handy around the house, fixing things, cars, rubbing feet, etc. etc. But Bless Ray's heart he is willing to do the job. Just remember to wear a helmet the first few day back while in the basement.

Cold here as well...brrrr no snow thankfully

prayers and hugs to the babies Juls

Susan have a great cruise, will keep good thoughts for the basement remod to go well

Thanks, I know it will all turn out ok, but probably not what I would have done, or picked out, etc. I guess I should be glad I don't have to be around to watch!

Getting excited about the trip! Boss gave his blessing today and said I deserved the time off. That was nice to hear too! I WANNA GO NOW!

Ray is missing the "handy-man" gene, but I love him anyway!

Evening all..................

We only got about 3 inches of snow, thankfully. Areas south of us got 10-12 inches. But they keep saying it's going to warm up.

Nancy, please tell Ken that we are thinking of him as he is going through the assisted living process for your aunt. Been there, done that and it is really not an easy task.

Susan, wishing you a wonderful cruise. Sounds like Ray has watched too many Tool Time shows.

Julie, hope you are having a great time and thoughts and prayers being sent to the twins.

And now I do believe it is time for a

(((((((((GROUP HUG)))))))))

Patti--thanks for the group hug, I am feeling pretty down as I get ready to head north and not knowing what to expect. Ken and I plan to have our Valentine's celebration tomorrow, we have not been apart since both of us quit traveling for work when we retired five years ago now.

Jill--we will hope it is sometime before the Holiday 2010 trip

Evening....

Hope all goes well Nancy, take care.

I noticed that the price went down on our one night cruise, on HAL, today.
So we are getting a refund and an upgrade to an ocean view cabin. Woo Hoo!
I didn't think they would actually drop the price on a one night cruise. But what the heck, it will buy us a couple of drinks.

Rain is on the way........

Good evening, all, and let me join in the group hug! I had a really busy day today - breakfast meeting, then did some legal work until it was time to race home and get Carmen for her acupuncture appointment. After I got home it was time to walk Blanca (who is always furious when Carmen gets to go for a ride and she doesn't). Then it was feeding the critters time and then it was clean up yark and poop. I should run a kennel and get paid for it all!

We went ahead and booked the 9/30 Radiance to make a B2B out of it with the 10/4 cruise. It kills me to give up a 9-nighter in 1100, no less, but we want to keep the schedule clear in case we get an Oasis pre-inaugural invite. If we don't, well, we'll find something last minute, I'm sure.

I hope that all the ailing SPBs and their families are hanging in there!

And I hope Ray doesn't tear the house down, LOL!

geez y'all were chatty today-whew. thanks for the good luck witht hte rodeo--what a day today tomorrow is the opening and I guess the booths are ready. ready or not, here it comes!!!!

Ginny, everytime yoyu post BV (I know you mean bon voyage), I think you are talkig about me--that is my initials & I taught the deaf for years & my sign name was BV. gotta get some last minute updates doen & then off to bed. tomorrow is another day at the RODEO!!!!

Jul, will keep the twins in my prayers. how old are they? that has to be scarey no matter what their age.

Thanks for the laugh Susan, hopefully all will go well in the basement.

later

Home from Wednesday night church and joining in the group hug. Praying for the twins, Nancy SIL and in finding the right assisted living home for your Aunt.
Best Wishes on opening day at the Rodeo Brenda.

You'll have sweet dreams.

Morning all, this is my Friday since I have tomorrow off!

Gonna take the "girls" for their yearly checkup, stop at Sams for supplies, go for groceries and then meet some friends for lunch. I guess calling it a day off is really a misnomer. But I won't be at work.

Got some stuff to do so I need to get back at it, happy packing Susan!
