Yay for Fran feeling better and being able to enjoy her meals.
Well she still skips a few more meals, but at least she enjoyed the couple on this day.
I got to do laundry!
I am laughing so hard! But at least I got a yummy meal after. LOL!
Great photo of you two with your desserts.
Glad I could give you a few good laughs!
Whats with all the selling of jewelry on cruises? Are the deals really deals?
From what I understand, Disney, Carnival, and all the other cruise lines came together to form "Diamonds International", "Tanzanite International", and all the others and you find them in every. single. port. that the major cruise ships visit. They have talks on board about "how to buy" and I'm sure that they have some "deals", but for the most part, it's just a thing to get tourists in the shop with free giveaways and to buy more stuff and since jewels are expensive it's a good thing to push them to buy. On our first cruise back in 2012, we bought me some Tanzanite, but that's because I wanted some, and that was before I got all into my Mickey Jewelry. They didn't have it back then as far as I can remember.
Other then the cannon firing sounds like a relaxing day. Our NYE was just our family since DD was home so we didn't have our usual party. We just cancelled our Alaska trip for June so now we might go to WDW for Thanksgiving with DS and DGS. We know it will be totally crowded, but DGS will be in Jr. High by then so can't pull him out of school.
It was nice just to chill in the cabin watching movies, eating good food and getting the laundry done. It also rained that day and poor Jill who was out on a tour got soaked walking back to the ship. I was happy that I was in the cabin instead of getting soaked.
I take it you have strong views on entitled parents.
You had me at "Homemade Clam Chowder".
I'd be happy to make it for you. I think we do a pretty good one!
I guess for you it's old hat, but... for me, that would be very exciting and fascinating.
Actually no. I get so excited every time we pull into a port. I was sad that we only had a porthole and Jill hadn't texted me that she was up a wanting company.
This is NOT RIGHT.
And it's not just from a behavioural point of view. It's also dangerous. Waiters (or in this case, people) walking with hot items. Kid runs into them and you spill it on them and... of course the parents are going to not think they suck at parenting their little hellions, but it's you fault.
I totally get it. I'm more annoyed by them running around, but I totally get the danger factor.
Leaving the behind? Leaving them for dead?
Yum! I need to go on a cruise with you.
Yes, I think you do! I would give you one of my Bennies too!
And... this should not be surprising. It should be the norm.
Sadly it is not.
Just saw it a few days ago. Liked it.
And I would have rated that one as a "see it in the theater" over Ralph which was kind of meh. I want to see Bohemian Rhapsody now before it is no longer available in theaters.
I can understand that. Poor thing.
Yeah, it often ends up being a problem.
You put her to work!?!?!?
Well... I suppose it's only fair. You did take her along for a free cruise.
Well yaaaah? She did get to stow away for free!
And it seems to be getting worse...
Nice! Much better than trying to guess and going and... "Nope. Still running."
Or worse "Who took my clothes out and piled them on the table???"
Yup. Been there done that.
You had me at Clam Chowder.
oooohhhh... deja vu.
It was definitely good, but we made too much. Time to give the leftovers to Naked Jim. He'll eat anything.
Ah! So you fed her after she did the laundry.
It was the least I could do.
Have you had Merguez? Love Lamb sausage, Fran doesn't like the current batch I have in the freezer.
Hard to resist, even when not feeling 100%!
She does love her chocolate sundaes.
I'm more the lemon stuff fan.
Reward for good laundry work?
Something like that.
Nice photo of you guys.
Thanks!
Sorry to hear that. You want to relax and...
And if they had done them all at once it would have been fine, but they did one and I'm like "good that's done" and then like 5 minutes later there another. Maybe it was only 3 minutes, but it wasn't immediate, but after 5-6 I realized that it wasn't going to necessarily stop.
And yet... I saw her 3 times.
You are very astute!
November and December were totally busy with work and then I was away visiting Michael. On top of that I got sick as soon as I got back, still at home today, but feeling better, so I thought I should actually have a look at the DIS!
