BAAHAHAHAHA, Andrae! Ya know what was REALLY funny about me actually doing that "air guitar" competition? I was TOTALLY sober! Just goes to show you what a nut I am even without drinking! Scary, huh! LOL I have pics of me doing and winning the air guitar contest. That skinny 22 yr old I was competing against had NOTHING on this ol' 52 yr old Grammy, now did she? :D

 

 

LMAO. TRUE 'dat! Whenever you open up the "The Sheila's Dancing Sober School of Art", I would like a complimentary scholarship. I bet you are a fun drunk though! You're the kinda gal I like to have around when drinks are plentiful.

[arthierry]

Yeah, I could be like the overweight Kathy Lee Gifford doing a Carnival Cruise commercial? Here is a video I didn't know the hubbs took of me (until I got home and looked at all the pics) on the first day right after we got into our cabin for the first time. I "think" I had about 4 drinks of the day (working on the 5th one---whew, they were STOUT) when he filmed me doing this crazy stuff. I have NO idea what possessed me or where the funky accent came from? Under the "influence" I guess? LOL Here's your LOTD (Laugh of the day)

 

 

 

 

OM LORD!!!!! I love it Sheila. OK, I understand the "soberness" of this video, lol, but ummmmmmmmm, yea.....what's up with the life-vest. Were you and Mickey playing "Gilligans Island"?:eek:;):D

[arthierry]

...and for anyone reading Donna's review, here is our roll call for this cruise, if anyone is interested!

You know WHAT!!! Thanks for making my day! And thanks for making me spit sweet tea all over this brand new 26' flat panel monitor on my desk, that my boss will be very livid when he see's all this sticky ***** all over the place. LMAO, THANKS, you're the best.

[SoonerOne]

You did it Sheila, your first picture posting on CC and you did it as the Frito Bandito, such class:D!!!

And one other thing! My right foot was extremely swollen as well on the cruise. I could not figure out why is was like that. I was thinking it was the food, but the food was not too or overly salty. Now that you bring up the salt around the margaritas, it all makes sense now. ***note to self*** Lay off the margaritas!

Hmmm...I don't know about doing it with class or WITH the class, but I DID IT! WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY ME!!!!!!!!! I think I've created a monster? Lawd a mercy!:eek:

Nah, all you have to do is say, "Bartender!!!! Margarita on the "rocks", NO salt!!"

I figured that out after the 4 or 5th day of walking around looking like PUFF DADDY! (wheels were turning but the hamster was dead kinda thing) Salt is my enemy and water pills are my friend! :) :)

 

You are officially enrolled in my sober dance class, Andrae! :) I'm glad I could amuse you AND myself today! hehehe

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~ Donna, you better sign up before the class fills up!

[jstanokiegal]

Oh wow, it was SO scary! I was nearly eaten alive in Cozumel!!!!!

[/img]

 

BUT.....my Oklahoma cowgirl skills worked once again! HIGH HO, Croccy, AWAY!!!!!!;)

 

I also befriended the 3 amigos in Cozumel!! :D They were still crying and singing, "Don't cryyyyy for me, Argentina" when I waved "Adios, Amigos!!!"

*sigh* I miss them already! I can't for the life of me figure out why they thought my name was Argentina?

 

Note: I was wearing my HUGE Crocs in this pic because my feet were SO swollen this day! My toes look like Tootsie Rolls ready to explode! Not to mention the flattering yellow Jamaica hat of the hubby's I had to put on AFTER my massage at Nachi Cocum beach. Errrrrrr.....let's just say they massaged me with oil from "HEAD" to toe. My hair looked like a grease bucket afterwards, but I was totally relaxed!

 

 

I'm having so much fun! Let's break out the unused bottle of Nuvo, Andrae...and of course share with everyone! :)

 

PS. I'm sorry y'all. I don't know HOW to make these pics smaller! They are like MEGA files for some reason?

Way to go! You are on a roll today hun! Are you sure you haven't already hit the Nuvo, lol? BTW, I love the huge pics. Keep 'em coming! As soon as photobucket gets mine uploaded, I will post a few of mine.

LOL, no...I'm not into the "NUVO"...YET! Grands are here right now and we're jammin' down to a DVD of Hannah Montana???? Talk amongst yourselves, I'll be back later. Or...you can check out my videos on You Tube. Old videos of 2 of the grands doing the cha cha slide! Too funny! Later sweet taters!

[Riley's Mom]

Love the review. It is awesome with the pictures.

Now Sheila you need to post your own review with all your zany photos. Your a riot!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Loved all the pictures. Thanks to yo both.

 

This will be my third time on the Conquest and I never tire or seeing the pictures. Everytime I am on her I discover something different...lol

Sheila< I am going to Nachi Cocum also. How was the massage? I guess I will have to tell them not to massage my head..Don't want to be greasy..

Thanks, Carla

[jstanokiegal]

OM LORD!!!!! I love it Sheila. OK, I understand the "soberness" of this video, lol, but ummmmmmmmm, yea.....what's up with the life-vest. Were you and Mickey playing "Gilligans Island"?:eek:;):D

 

Uh...NO! No hanky panky Gilligan's Island after that video. I think we set sail not too long after that and the "casino" opened and hubby discovered it. Don't think for a minute I would not have LOVED to have thrown him overboard and left him stranded on a deserted island with no slot machines!!!!!!! LOL

 

1 after school grandchild zonked out, one left to go---the 2 yr old is alive and kicking with NO NAP! Back to building train tracks and race car tracks. :)

Hi Carla, welcome to Donna's review. :) I'm trying to build train tracks while blogging at the same time. Scary stuff! Wreck waiting to happen! :)

 

The massage was Oooooooh la la----oh so GREAT! Best full hour massage I'v e EVER had. The girls there were pros. However; I didn't wait long enough for the discounted massage fees. A worker there told me later that the massages went down to $25 close to the end of the day! Just my luck! I paid $75 for a full hour massage---well worth it! Just take a hat with you---the head massage was so relaxing!!! Worth the greasy hair-do later! :)

[dancerdiva1010]

Loving the all picture reviews!! I did this cruise in early October and loved it. Thinking about doing the Eastern Carribean this September, I may just have to do a review like this when I get back!!:D

[SoonerOne]

Isn't it fun to post a review and people enjoy it???? I love that my zany friends have joined in!!!:D:D

More pictures please Sheila on "Donna's Review"......ha-ha! Keep em coming, we love them:D

[jstanokiegal]

OK......I'm back, just like a bad habit! :D The grands have gone home and I'm HOME ALONE! :eek:

 

Whew---Donna, I don't think I've come across any videos of me dancing on the Lido deck. Just still/in motion photos, which are bad enough! Thank goodness they're blurry "in motion" pics! hehehe

[SoonerOne]

Well, get busy posting pics then! Your audience awaits crazy woman:D

[Falls Cruiser]

Great job Donna, I enjoyed reading every word and seeing every picture, we are leaving tomorrow (Thursday) on our trip to Houston and Galveston. Then headed out on the Conquest on Sunday for Key West & the Bahamas.

 

Hey Falls Cruiser, looks like we are neighbors. Funny story, a few years back we got to commucating with someone else from Wichita Falls (on Cruise Critic) and it turns out they live almost across the street from us. Have a great day everyone.

 

Doug

 

Hey neighbor, just noticed you are also from the Falls. Small world! Looks as though y'all really like cruising. Let us know how your cruise goes.

[drparker82]

We were sitting at the table right behind you Made' (the waiter) in the picture where he is singing in the ketchup bottle! We had a great table too... and we always noticed that your table was having a lot of fun! :)

 

Did you notice on the last night that Made' was getting frusterated with Raul (the asst. waiter) really bad! It was kinda funny, because Raul always had that huge smile on his face. It was like it didn't bother him if things weren't going perfect or not- he was just having fun!

 

Me with our new found friends and waiters:

 

The waiters singing their "good bye" song to us:

 

And another, they were so AWESOME!!!

 

 

 

You just can't imagine the "energy" until you experience this, it was wonderful, thanks SO much to our Carnival waiters, you guys and gals rocked!!!!
