cruisetarp · November 29, 2008

Good morning Peggy & Martha - We are making progress (I think) The tree is up, all the lights are on, most of the ornaments are on and today I tackle all the red bows that have to be put on. The rest of the house looks like h*** but I'll get to that too I hope.

Have a great weekend - next weekend I'll be in Miami, Martha will be on the Majesty and Peggy will be on the train. Can you believe it is just about time to sail. FINALLY!!

Hi

Martha - Oh I feel bad for you - I hope you are okay by next weekend - try and get some rest.

Marylou - You are making me sad - LOL I will be on the train and you in Miami waaaaaaaaaaaaa and Martha on the Majesty - guess I have to learn to fly - when I read that I wanted to fly LOL

I feel much better today I had a half way decent nights sleep and I finished all my packing - now I just have the jewelry (I am only bring costume) and some small stuff - I feel relieved that it is all over with and I got everything into the 1 big suitcase and I am bringing 2 really small carry ons.

Thanks Rose - I appreciate it. Sure could use some sunshine baking into these old bones right about now.

Peggy - You did great with the packing. Everytime I go into the basement I bring up another suitcase and Jim cringes. He says he may have to hire a U-Haul trailer to hook onto the car. Heck, he's the one that forgot to bring a bathing suit on one of our cruises. I bring everythin - just in case. lol

Martha - Hope you are feeling better. Can you believe you will actually be cruising this week. I can't wait to hear about the Majesty.

I must have made 30 trips up and down the cellar stairs yesterday and boy did I pay for it all night. My legs took turns cramping up all night and I'm exausted now. Spent most of the night trying to walk them away

Guess I need to get these Christmas cards addressed and ready to send out. Also have to go and get a ton of batteries for all the decorations that need them as well as the gifts we bought that need them. I sometimes think I spend as much on the batteries as I do the gifts. Be back later.

Rose- Thanks so much for the encouragement and warning about Tuesday. I was just up checking the forecast. At least it's supposed 77 and sunny when we leave on the Jewel! :biggrin:

MaryLou- Sorry you got such a bad night's sleep. Maybe you should plan to RELAX today. Hope your legs feel better.

Not sure if Lee is getting sick or not.....NOTHING will keep us from going, though. Will just get him some antibiotics if he is......

I can't find my IPOD instruction book.....I know it's in the house somewhere. Stayed up late last night looking for it and started again this am, but just can't seem to locate it. I thought I had put it in the suitcase already, but it wasn't there. :thumbdown:

Only 12 more hrs. of work. The person I work with doesn't know what it is like to work, so we have to pick up her slack. Lee said to call in today, but I just can't do that.... I can do it!!

Not long now.............

Martha
