That will be awesome Janet!

I know!!!! 12 nights of heaven. Hopefully it won't be too cold when we leave New Jersey. We booked in July of last year. Got it for $1,519 per person and no fuel charge. Now, for $1,519 pp you can get an inside + a fuel charge! All balconies, suites and ocean views are sold out.

Sadly, my NY Cherry Cheesecake ice cream is no more! I wonder if Denise found any. She hasn't been here much today. Maybe she's still out looking for it, LOL

I know Denise is out there searching every corner store for Cherry Cheesecake I/C . Poor Denise! I'm a Ben & Jerry's girl myself. Half Baked is my favorite.

A dozen chocolate chip cookies never hurt anybody!

You pack a box fan! That's too funny. With the luggage restrictions now, do you still plan to pack one? What other interesting items do you pack???

You have no idea how much I wish that statement were true. Sweets are my biggest weakness.

Yeah, but its just a baby one, 10" square. We leave it behind for the steward (if he/she wants it) when we leave. That way we have room to pack souvenirs. I over pack everything. I need to learn how not to do that, ha!

Thanks! I have seen that cat around the net for years, I'm ready for fall so thought he'd be a good reminder of the coming season.

Did you hear from Lee? You must share!!!

I'm not a wimp when it comes to things like that either. I guess it would be better than being miserable on your vacation though.

I think I must have a pretty high pain theshold (and that's not just from talking about this particular shot). In any case, the shot hurt, but I didn't think it was THAT bad. I could stand it again, especially if it meant I could walk all over the Caribbean and not pay for it later.

Do you have to wear them for plantar fascitis too? I'm wondering how I could get away with having the heel cut out if the heel is my problem... On the other hand, I probably can't afford a second set anyway. At $400, I'm tapped out.

Thanks! I do have cast iron griddle I use for making toast. Maybe I'll use the excuse to go buy a new non-stick griddle. I've never much liked the cast iron version anyway.

Not crazy about weedeating either. DH loves it. But he's not allowed to come near the house with that thing. It tears up the siding.

Come on over. I'll pop some more biscuits in the oven and whip up some more gravy. The more the merrier!

I'm not so bad about cracking ice trays, but refilling them is what gets me. I can never get them from the sink to the freezer without spilling them. And if I don't take care of making ice, no one does. rrrrrr. As soon as this bin fills up, I'm done. Yay!
