Cruisin' Part One

This may take awhile. Finally, it all took place. We arrived on Galvestion Island around 11ish Sunday, February 24, 2008, found our parking spaces, unloaded all of those suitcases and boarded the van that took us to the ship which is in the background of this picture. Totally cool.

You wouldn't believe the luggage we took. I've got a pic somewhere and will share later. Anyway most of us (8) had at least two pieces plus two carry-ons. Everyone told us not to take that much but we all bought clothes and shoes and stuff for the past 8 months......and we were taking everything.............OK!

If you're wondering about this pic. My mother was very afraid about me going on this cruise and made me promise to wear a life jacket.......so this is me wearing the life jacket for all of 2 minutes for my mother. Note the expression on my face.......it was heavy, hot and combersome!

ROTFLOL

Lookie here now! I just checked my luggage for the cruise.....Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't anyone tell you that I and 7 of my "wackiest" friends are goin on a cruise? Anyway, I was looking at all my buys for the cruise......clothing, jewelry, shoes, swimsuits, pusese, etc., etc., etc. Well I don't know how this happened but I think I've out spent the cost of the cruise on this stuff. But I'm still smiling! Notice the smile on my face...forced but it's there `~@-#}&)#(@_(!*~ Just yesterday me and a couple of girlfriends, who by the way are going on the cruise with me, went over to Tyler, TX to Dressin' Gaudy....that's a wonderful ladies dress shop and such. We had a blast, bought more stuff and a couple of surprises for our cabin mates but I'm not supposed to tell that. LOL They'll never find out...will they? Then it was on to two great quilt shops over there ...... "Sherman's" and "A Nimble Thimble". Of course we had to have fabric, there's never enough in our personal stashes. The day was great the company excellent but now I must stop myself from buying anymore stuff for the cruise.....unless it's absolutely necessary! Somebody stop me...........

More Shopping

So....I needed shoes for the cruise, an evening bag for those wonderful dinners I plan on having and tennis shoes to walk off all those calories that accompany the wonderful I plan on enjoying. Oh, I'm sorry. Did you know I was goin' curisin'? Hmmmmmmm....there's still something missing though. I need something else. What? I don't know but I'll know it when I see it. I'm going to need a bigger suitcase. Maybe a trunk!

Bent

I'm so excited about the quilting cruise coming up next February that I'm in knots, all bent out of shape, beside myself.....you know....just can't wait. But I must. I have to conserve my strength, keep a clear head....breathe! LOL

Ok....I'm alright now. Thanks for allowing me to let off steam.
