I am TERRIFIED of cruises. Just being out on the open water with no options is horrifying to me. It's the same reason I'm not fond of flying. I mean, the reason I fly is because it gets me to Disney!

And I know Disney cruises are expensive, but I think it's the only one I'd be willing to try, because they're supposed to be amazing. Plus, I think DS would get a kick out of it. Especially being able to see the Black Pearl.

It's okay. Even Pirates are allowed to be afraid of something!

Not even a DISNEY cruise?

I think it's awesome that Disney doesn't shy away from the religious aspects. It's important for people to be able to see exactly what people around the world celebrate and how.

I bet the Candlelight Processional was wonderful! Celebrating the reason for the season!

I forgot to mention our good news last night. DH got the building permit for our house addition! We get back from Disney on a Tuesday and they will probably have started the ground work on Monday. The addition is 700 sq. ft. will a full basement so that's a total of 1400 sq. ft of living space! (My first house was only 900 sq.ft) The ground level will be a master bedroom suite with bathroom, walk in closet and office. At some point the office space will be divided to make a spare bedroom. The basement part will be finished for a playroom. This fall we will only be doing the ground work and foundation. Then finish in the spring. I can't wait to have more room.

Heidi, that sounds just awesome!

Saw Candlelight Processional narrated by Gary Sinese and had Christmas dinner @Artist's Point (WL.)
My DSIL said, It was the best Christmas ever!

Since there are a lot of POTC fans here...has anyone gone on a DC and seen The Black Pearl on Castaway Cay???
Would love to do that some day

I am so jealous. I have had a teensy crush on Gary Sinese since he was Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump.

I tore myself away from my book to check in real quick. I am reading Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. It's the book that the new HBO series True Blood is based on. Now, it's not exactly like Twilight but I give it . I have a little less than 100 pages to go and I want to finish it tonight!!

[TarzansKat]

LL, I just remembered I was going to look up that book for you. I'll take a look at my bookshelf.

We say that line a lot in our house!! Actually, we say a lot of Forrest Gump lines. It's such a quotable movie.

Heidi, I'm so excited for you and your house!

And I'd LOVE to see it when it's done!

No, I read the whole series! I just loved it, and now I'm re-reading it all. I like to do that, to see what else I can pick up on I may have missed the first time, you know?

I told LL I'd try to find the title of this vampire book I'd really enjoyed...I think it's a series also, or maybe the author has done a few stand alone vampire novels.

LL, you listening?

It's I, Vampire by Michael Romkey.

Dude.

Forrest Gump is so quotable.

And I can totally picture you saying that.

I've read Twilight, but none of the other books in the series. Maybe I should change that!

My friend's mom actually read that book not too long ago! Great minds think alike

I just love Forrest Gump. Sadly, I still don't have it on DVD. I actually read the book that's is based on, BOO! It was so...so...mean. I liked the movie much much better! "I got to pee"

THANKS! I have about a bazillion vampire-ish books to read at the moment but will put it on the list.

Read them, read them, read them. One of the best book series I have ever read. I am in love with Edward Cullen which is disturbing on many levels, two of them being he is fictional and a vampire.
