Good evening Crazies.  Falina, I am so, so sorry about you having to cancel the cruise but you do have to do what is best for you and hubby.  Maybe you can take an evening and break out the tropical clothing, Drink of the Day souvenir cruise glasses and reminisce about your last cruise and dream about a future one.  Maybe even bring out the cruise pics.  I did that once a few years ago when it was in the dead of winter here and I needed a getaway - even if it was only in our minds&#33;&#33;&#33;  Joey, I hope you get the news you want about your marital status - I hear so many different versions of what is probable there.  Please keep us posted.   Kevin, I have found that Carnival&#39;s prices just cannot be beat - especially if you book far in advance.  We generally book ours about a year out and pay between &#036;800-900 per person for a balcony cabin.  They does include the additional charge for picking our own cabin, which is generally &#036;100.  If we went for a guaranteed balcony cabin, it would be less, but I have to be mid ship.  That also included our fuel surcharges this time, which hopefully we will receive a OB credit for.  Hey Jenn, I have scooped up a few Halloween bargains too - need to go to KMart and WalMart and check out their bargain bins too.  A lot of the things I find, Scotty will play with all year long.<br /><br />Took the munchkin to Toys R Us today after I picked him up at school.  His teacher told me today that he has done a complete 180 and is doing so great and beign really helpful.  He is ahead of the other 1st graders on his reading so she has him helping the other kids and he really likes that.  He picked out the Invincible Iron Man as his reward and I also got another Wii remote and MarioKart, which is a racing game and even comes with a steering wheel controller.  Will probably have to wait until our son come&#39;s up to show us how to use it - how pathetic is that???
