Calling all April Bandsters!!!!

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

Good luck on your exam Nurse! (Crossing my fingers for you).

I have some brocures at my desk for Caribbean Cruises. Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. I say 4 or 5 day. Rate are running anywhere from $269 to $309 (Interior), $309 to $349 (Ocean View). Price depends on departure date.

Nurse - Let us know how you do! We're pulling for you!

I am VERY serious about a cruise. I told my hubby what we were thinking and he thought it was a great idea. He said that we all needed a big reward after being so faithful and working so hard to attain our goals. I really have a great hubby:)

So, count me in! The later in August the better. That way kids will be in school and it will be easier to get child care for just one while dad is at work.

I agree that 4-5 days is good. Where will we leave from? I'm up for going anywhere!!! Just give me a lounge chair w/ some sun and I'm happy!

L2L - looks like you know about this stuff so find the best deals and let us know. What about airfare from Atlanta to where ever too? Then inform us how to sign up for it all. If you don't mind....

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

Florida would be a good departure. There are so many ports if we are wanting to take a Caribbean Cruise. I'm within driving distance myself - so I'm being selfish. I hate flying...hate it - I'm the one with the bag hyperventalating and freaking out every time the plane jumps a bit.

I'll find out about airfare. One of my clients here actually owns a Travel Agency. She dropped of the cruise books for me. I'll let her know we're looking for planefare too.. Where is everyone located?

I hate flying too but driving from Eatonton does not sound fun either. But if flying is too costly, maybe sweet hubby will take me...he travels to Florida a good bit for business.

The other thing we need to think about is Hurricane Season...such as what is going on right now:) Would we do better looking at July?

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

I'm in SW Georgia myself. Maybe we could meet and carpool? Just an idea.

Sounds good to me! It would save me airfare and I could use the $$$ for shopping!

How's the weather down there? Are you getting anything bad? I hope not!

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

The bands are just getting into our area. It is windy, and the rain comes in spurts. It's not too bad right now though. Overcast and windy. That's about it.

[momof5 0]

I'll be praying that that is as bad as it gets!

Way to go nurse! I hope you did well on your exam.

Sounds like the cruise is in the works. Here's my dilemma, I'm planning on being in nursing school next year, so I don't know what my schedule will be. I know I'll be back in school by the end of August, so you guys plan what works for all of you and I'll jump in if I can. I'll be bummed if I miss it, but I do not expect you guys to cater to just me. Of course I'll know in November if I got in or not. If I didn't, no problem. Of course I'm hoping I get in. I really expect to since my grades are so good (3.8 GPA) and I scored in the 98th percentile on my entrance exam, but they are a fickle bunch. I didn't get in for the fall semester because I was still taking micro when I applied. Keep your fingers crossed for me this time. I can't do any better than I already am, so if I don't get in, it wasn't meant to be and I'll move on. Anyway....

forney - My doc did my first fill 3 weeks after surgery and then every 4 weeks after that until I was at a good spot. My 3rd fill was near perfect and I went 6 weeks and had really good restriction. I then had to have a small (1/4 cc) unfill because I got a stomach bug. Now I have very little restriction. I'm going back next week to get that 1/4 cc put back in. It's different for everyone and docs are different in how they go about fills. My doc, like mom's, is great to listen to me and how my body is reacting. I've had really good experiences with my fills, never been overfilled yet. Good luck!

I'm in Fort Worth so I would be flying out of DFW. I think one or two of the cruise lines used to port in Galveston. I wonder if they ever do two ports, like I could board in Galveston and then on to Florida to pick up you guys? I know I'm probably dreaming now. LOL! That would just be too perfect. :wink2:

You guys have a great day!

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am now an official CERTIFIED PEDIATRIC REGISTERED NURSE!!!!!!! :huh2::tongue::hurray::ohmy::wink::wink2:

Okay, done with my personal party. :mad2:

Bea; I too am in school and will be back in school during the last 10-14 days of August next year. Maybe we should plan on something during the summer instead? July or June maybe?

I am in St. Louis - pretty much central to everywhere there is a port!

WAY TO GO NURSE!!!

Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

Had to let you guys know that I hit 199lbs this weekend!!! Finally under 200lbs for the first time in over 7 years!!! Said goodbye to 3 dress sizes in the process. Now I have to go shopping for Fall!!!

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

Way to go Nurse!!! ((doing the happy dance with you)). It must be a relief to finally have that behind you. Go Celebrate by buying you a new outfit - after 19 pounds you should be down about a size!!!

momof5 - Onderland!!! I am so jealous. That's my goal by Christmas. I'm so happy for you.

[momof5 0]

L2L - If I can make it, anyone can! I know you'll do it!!! I'll keep rooting for you!

[Bea1128 1]

Woo Hoo!!! Way to go nurse! Congrats!

Yee-Haw!!! Awesome Mom!!! I'm so jealous! My short term goal was to be at 199 by Labor Day, but I'm gonna be short. I'm almost there and I'm hoping to drop a few more pounds this week! Maybe by the week after. I have a whole section in my closet dedicated to clothes that should fit when I hit 199. I can't wait!!

I'm a little lost today guys. Both kids went back to school today and my youngest started Kindergarten. She was so cute in her uniform this morning. I think she was a little overwhelmed, but she held it together and didn't cry. She's been in preschool a few days a week since she was two, but this school is so big. We both did good. I didn't cry at school. She's such a tiny little girl to be going to such a big school. **sniffle, sniffle** :eek:

On the bright side, I've already gotten a lot done today. Finished two homework assignments and ran. It's weird but in a good way. I go to class in the morning: Technical writing, P.E., and weight lifting!! Woo Hoo! Someones gonna work my butt off....literally I hope!

Anyway, I hope you guys all had a great weekend and have a great Monday!!!
