We put down DW's kitty of some 13 years today...

So sorry about the kitty, we had to do that a few weeks ago with our kitty. It was awful, and she was only 6, but she had apparently had cancer in her kidneys and we never knew until she suddenly stopped eating! The only positive part of the story is that we left for our cruise a week later and it helped the kids to have something to look forward to! In fact, we surprised our family by showing up unexpectedly on the cruise It was so cool!

If anyone has time for a story about the surprise...here goes...

We took my parents and DH's parents on a cruise in Jan. 2005. We were celebrating both grandpa's 60th birthdays. Our reasoning for spending so much money for the whole trip (11 of us) was that we have 5 kids and we really were so grateful to them for helping us so much over the years. Plus, my husband's parents hadn't been on a real vacation for at least 20 years, and being newly retired, we hoped to inspire them to take more trips!

Well, we had a BLAST and we really didn't know what we were getting into with my in-laws. The next year they took my newly wed sister in law and her new husband on the Disney Cruise. Then they booked another cruise on the ship to go with my DSIL again AND my husband's aunt and cousin (who had never been out of Wisconsin before!). So, when we heard that they were all going, we called our trusty TA and she got us 2 rooms right down the hall from them. She linked our dining and everything! They had NO idea we were going! Our oldest DS turned 15 the day before we left and when DMIL called him, we were at EPCOT and she was at the hotel in Port Canaveral and she still had no idea.

Then she called us when we were on the ship!!!! We had just got to our cabin without being seen by any of the other family members. We were laughing sooooooooooo hard!

We had a hard time deciding when we should reveal ourselves because we didn't think we could make it all the way to dinner without being seen, so we decided to just knock on their door about 15 minutes before the safety drill started. We went to DSIL first and she was ssssssooooooooo happy, we have never traveled with them before as they are still newlyweds (about 2 years now) and have no kids. Then we all went to Grandma and Grandpas room and knocked. The look on her face was priceless. She cried for about 20 minutes! What a fun memory for all of us!!!!

Hi Lisa

Take your time with ketchup...looks like we're hanging around till 1AM (per orders of princess)

Yup. Just like my lucky 8 ball tells me "Most Definitely" when I ask it if I'm going to get a room assignment tomorrow.

I think, if I were drunk, which of course I never am, and the toilet started TALKING to me, I'd give up drinking.

For the evening.

Or at least a few hours.

That's what I thought when I first saw them. What drunk is going to listen to a talking urinal?

 

[poohmomof5]

53 bottles of beer on the wall...


Question for the evening, if given the choice, do you prefer cans, bottles, daught? And what's your favoritest??

TAP BEER is the ONLY way to go!!!!

Poohmom

Oh, and if you would be kind enough to drink Miller products, my neighbor (Miller employee) would be thrilled!

 

[lbgraves]

If he was, I didn't see it. I haven't searched the Net, though. I really was hoping Jeff would say last night. Jeff is soooo cute, by the way. Love those dimples!

LOL! I love it when he questions something the people say that is so stupid or an outright lie.

I hope you don't use big words this late at night all the time. I'd hate to have to carry around a dictionary on the ship.

WOW, that is so cool. I can't believe you were able to keep it secret. Great story

Most of them probably will listen. Then again, most of them would probably talk back, too!
