Alaska Cruise

I took my first cruise...it will probably be my last. Come to find out, I don't like being on other peoples schedules (surprise, surprise). It seemed like every time I turned around they were calling all the cows to the trough, and the food wasn't even that good.

My major peeves: constantly feeling pressured to shop, gambling, smoke in the bars, having to pay extra for drinks, events that are geared only towards people in their 80s, bad entertainment that you are supposed to get excited about, and too much time on the boat and not enough time on shore.

My hats off to our wonderful head waiter, waiter, assistant waiter and room attendant. All of these men worked so hard, for what I am sure is not very good pay.

Highlights of the trip: towel critters, zip line canopy adventure, hiking, and ghost & good time girls walking tour.

Sold!!!

I bought a house. Isn't that crazy? Everything isn't final yet, and I don't close until June 18Th, but my offer has been accepted. The house needs a lot of work? But, isn't that what starter homes are supposed to be? So..grab a paintbrush and lets get started. I can't wait to kill that burgundy kitchen. Check out the mailbox, I think is it sleeping on the job. (I know it looks like a mobile home but it is actually a house.)

To my old roomie

I had a great time catching up with you last night. I am so excited for all the new changes in your life. You sounded like your old self again. I missed your old self!
