Ryan worked out in the pool with me yesterday and we started kidding around.  Andre' snapped this.  It was hot as blazes but working out in the water makes it much easier I think.

Today my WCK should be here.  He is working further away now instead of closer but he is going where the money is and it's all good.  He has a plan to retire in January and he is working very hard to meet his goal.

So June is over now and summer is in full swing with the holiday coming this week.  I love summer.  Heat and all I just love it, the long days and the pool and not many people around.  Life is grand in my world.

Have a wonderful Tuesday y'all.  I will too, I shall be (a little bit)...

Winn Dixie has a rewards card that lets you go to a Shell station and get so much off your gas per gallon and mine is 90 cents.  Per gallon!  Yes, I paid $1.79.9 yesterday.  On the first of the month it will drop to 50 cents unless I spend more, which I will.  For me it's a pretty sweet deal but I just don't use much gas so I filled Ryan's tank too because he drives me around all the time.

So my WCK isn't coming today but rather tomorrow so I shall have Andre' today instead.  Not nearly as much fun! lol  Work comes first and I certainly understand that for sure.  I wouldn't want it any other way.

Hope your Monday and your whole new week is totally tits y'all.  Mine will be for sure.  And today I am not...

Last night the duck and I went to dinner so we won't be going to lunch today.  I'll be going to the pool instead. If it's not raining that is, we have had rain lately, much needed rain I might add.

So the duck has been looking at buying a home and he has appointments today, there is much to learn and he is working hard at it.  I told him not to rush, when the right place comes along it will happen.

Tomorrow my WCK is coming to see me.  You know he is now working three hours away and driving to see me for a few hours.  That says a lot to me that he would do that, face it, six hours on I95 to spend a few hours here is very special.  I still don't know where this might lead but I am open to wait and see, nothing ventured nothing gained, right?

Have a lovely Sunday y'all.  I will too for sure, I'm doing a pedicure and a manicure and my hair and my swim and that's about it...  and today I'm not

Yesterday was a pretty nice day, I had a great workout with Andre' and a lovely nap after my shower while it stormed and rained (finally) and then some time with my BFF Ryan and his guy.  Roche' had fun too, he loves to visit there and tried to get Ryan to let him spend the night sometimes.  And movie time at night.  Ryan has lots of movies.

I also had a sweet call from my WCK too.  He doesn't call often so when he does it's really nice.  He has been extra sweet too.

So June is nearly over and it's time for the hot summer lazy days at the pool, my favorite time of the year for sure.  Most people are gone somewhere and I feel like I have so much time for just plain summer fun.

I know I haven't been blog hopping lately and I apologize for that.  Hope you aren't mad at me for not visiting much.

Have a wonderful Saturday y'all.  I will too, not doing much and loving it.

Here is Roche' with his eye transplant.  He came out of it very nicely.  He said he's ready to go back to Ryan's but I told him he'd have to wait until August 24th when I go on another cruise.  He's sad so I had to take him to the WalMart and buy him some pom poms.  

My WCK called and was very sweet on the phone.  We don't talk every day, just sometimes.  It's really a great arrangement but I'd like it a bit more than it is.  Oh well, time may change that.

Today I have canasta and lunch at the club.  It's still there for now.  Hopefully it will be for at least a bit longer.  The new owners have taken possession and I don't know their immediate plans.

Have a lovely Thursday y'all.  I will too for sure!

I am not...

Miss-Bee-Havin'

Big win at poker preceded by some damned fine kissing. Great day here. 

Next there is no mahjong so Ryan and I are going to the pool. That'll be good. 

Roche' is recovered from his week with the boys so he wants to go to the pool too. Bless his heart. His eye transplant went well and he is healed nicely. 

Have a great prince spaghetti day y'all. I will too for sure. 

Miss-Bee-Havin'

Andre' beat the living krap out of me yesterday!  He did a double workout, first outside the pool, then in the pool, then outside again.  Rough but you know what?  It really felt great.

My WCK is coming today to kiss me.  I might Miss Behave a bit, not telling though.  We are getting in the pool too.  I wish he'd let me put his photo here but not yet.  Soon I hope.

D#1 had her appointment with TCD and is on her way home, it was a very short visit but very nice and we both enjoyed it and the duck did too.

Poker tonight, wish me luck.  I haven't done too well lately, just one or two wins in quite a while but it's my night out so it's all good.

Have a lovely Tuesday y'all.  You know I will, I'm the one having fun!

D#1 is here until early, about nine-ish and then she has a dentist appointment with TCD and she will Bo on her way out after that. We had a nice dinner with the duck and they are such pals it makes my heart swell to see them together.

I have Andre' at ten and then the day is mine after that. He is going to beat me up good I know and he should for sure.

Roche' is finally coming out of his daze from his wild week with the boys. He will have his eye transplant this afternoon.  I hope he learned his lesson but I doubt it. He just had too much fun!

Have a great Monday and new week y'all.  I will too.  And today I am not...

Miss-Bee-Havin'

Roche' is home and if you look closely he now has no eyes!  Now I can't say exactly what all went on with "the boys" up there but I once heard a certain "activity" makes you blind. Roche' is NOT talking, in fact he has been asleep all day. He didn't even go to the pool with me. 

The boys are in Ft. Lauderdale for the weekend for a gay pride fest and Roche' said he was too tired to go. 

So I am taking him to Dr. Wacks for an eye transplant on Monday. I hope he learned his lesson about too much partying. 

I got to talk to my WCK and he will be here in a few days. I'm looking forward to seeing him too. 

So that means I am not...

Miss-Bee-Havin'

So Roche' is still with "the boys" and says he'll come home soon, just not yet.  The little rascal is having such a great time and they seem to like him pretty good too so I'll let him stay another day.  But then I'll have to go shopping to lure him home I fear.

D#1 is coming to see me on Sunday but just for one day.  That's okay, we are going to get to have dinner with the duck, just the three of us and that will be lovely.

It's hard to get back into your routine when coming home from a cruise.  I was unpacked right away and the laundry done but I'm sort of in limbo a bit.  Nothing to do, no piano bar, no shows, no casino, no fancy dinner (I really had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a hamburger bun because I haven't been to the store yet.) and no dressing up and putting on makeup, just me and myself.  

Today will be fun because I shall make it so.  I hope you do too!  And I am certainly not...

There were some questions about what this breakfast was. There was an egg white omelet with spinich and mushrooms, walnut toast, and cheese grits. Fresh squeezed juice and coffee and yogurt. I had something similar each morning. 

I am home now and am unpacked, most of the laundry is done, and I had a great swim. My WCK wasn't able to come today though but that's okay as I am really tired anyway. 

Thanks for coming with me, I really had a blast. 

And today I am NOT ...

Miss-Bee-Havin'

Well it is the last night and I am all packed and have had dinner and have been to the comedy club and I'm getting ready to go to the piano bar for one last time. I have one final breakfast delivered to my cabin and I'll be on my way home. It sure went by fast but then it always does. 

Thanks for coming along with me. Next one is August 24th.

I am anxious to see Roche' and hear all about his adventure with his boys. I might have to bribe him to come home!  The little bugger. 

And I might even get to see my WCK. I'm not sure because I haven't talked to him since Key West but as of then he was going to try to come see me when I got home. Then I might well be...

Miss-Bee-Havin'

I got this photo in a text from Ryan with two words - getting ready. For what I'm scared to ask!  Bless their hearts. 

I have had a quiet day on board in Cozumel. Dinner is late as we are still here and don't sail until 10:00 I think. Anyway I am going to have a bit of fun after dinner as I had a nap this afternoon. 

This is still my favorite ship!

Bee-Havin' (for now)

Trust me there were things on the menu that I don't eat like caviar and that raw salmon stuff but I ate everything but the lobster because of allergy and we had a two hour amazing dinner with me and eight officers and then we went to the piano bar for drinks and it was a truly magical evening. I would have loved to take photos of the food but thought it would be too tacky. And I barely Miss-Bee-Haved!

Ryan had Roche' working out but thought his sparkly silver thong was a headband. Roche' didn't correct him because he was "freeballin'" it!  They are having a great time. 

PS:  me too!

Miss-Bee-Havin'

So far so good!  

Miss-Bee-Havin'

Well I am the only diamond on board so tomorrow night I shall done with the Captain and senior officers in their private dining room.  I swear my life just keeps getting better. 

The ship is pristine as always and I was warmly greeted as I boarded. The cabin is great and I had lunch and cake already. And possibly two drinks. Maybe. 

I guess she's Miss-Bee-havin' today but nothing too bad.

Ryan picked up Roche' yesterday for his week with the boys.  He tool all his little clothes and his pillow and said he'd take good care of him.  I know he will.  There will be lots of activities for Roche' to participate in.  Y'all.  Anyway he was WAY too happy to leave I think.

I talked to my WCK yesterday to firm op our Friday date and he said he'd call me again today.  I don't call him because he's working, if I need to tell hm something I just text him but I do love to hear that voice.

So I'm off.  Thanks for coming with me again.  That way I'm not by myself, right?  My cabin assignment came in and I'm in a regular balcony, no upgrade but it was much cheaper this way so I don't really mind and I am on the Empress deck so they must know I am an Empress.

Have a wonderful Monday and I shall try to be a bit good but no promises in case I'm...

Yesterday we had a girls out luncheon and had a really nice time.  We went to a restaurant that is very popular but I had never been to before and I really liked it.  Not too expensive and really good interesting food too.

I also started getting things out to pack and will have to finish that today.  It won't take long really.  I have it down to a science.

Andre' is going to beat me up so bad when I get back, I know he is.  I'll have to work out on the ship so I can be ready for it.  And take the steps instead of the elevators too.  And watch what I eat.

Hope your Sunday is totally tits y'all.  Mine will be for sure but I won't be...

This is as far as the hallways have gotten and only the top few floors even have this much done.  The carpet will be last and they aren't taking this old carpet up yet so we don't have to walk on concrete for months.  It;s very slow going though.

So my WCK was here yesterday and I believe I may have Miss-Behaed a tiny bit.  Possibly.  But we did have a lovely time and he's coming back next Friday when I get back from the cruise for another date.  He has been extremely sweet.

I did my own manicure and pedicure this week so that's checked off my list.  Today I have a birthday luncheon with my Maj gals and after that I'll start packing.

Have a lovely Saturday y'all.  I will too for sure!  And today I am not...

Yup, y'all were spot on.  Roche' wants to stay with Ryan and the boys.  He is so excited he is already packed and ready.  I told him he has a few days to wait but he is impatient.  And Gerald if up there too and he is a hairdresser so Roche' wants his hair done too.  He's thinking of going blonder.  I think he could pull off red myself.

So today my WCK is coming to town for a few hours to see me before I leave.  Isn't that sweet?  It's quite possible that I might be...

Andre' took this the other day and sent it to me.  That pool is pure heaven to me.  It's just perfect.  I hear people complaining it's too small but the most people I have ever seen there is a half dozen and usually it's just me and the mayor and the governor and we usually swim at different times so the pool is basically mine when I want to exercise.

I haven't told Ryan yet that he's rock sitting next week.  I hope Roche' behaves himself and doesn't throw too many hissy fits.  He likes to model his little clothes and strut his stuff.  And when the boys sing he'll want to join in on that too.  I hope he doesn't make them take him to karaoke.  I'll have to give him his allowance in case though, he'll want a little umbrella drink.

Today is canasta and lunch at the club.  I sure hope it stays open.  It changes hands officially on the 22nd and then we may find out or soon thereafter.  I know it's expensive to keep it open though and it is operating at a loss in the summer.

Have a wonderful Thursday.  I will too for sure.  And today I am not...

So I got my hair done yesterday and I'm about ready to get the suitcase out but first I have Mahjong today and Canasta tomorrow and my WCK on Friday so I suppose it's going to be Saturday when I pack!

Roche' is still deciding whether to go on the cruise or go upstairs and stay with Ryan and the boys.  I think I know what his answer will be though.  What do you think?  He already has all his little thongs out deciding which ones to take with him.

Poker didn't go well last night, I busted out about 9:00 or so.  It was a good game though and I had a good time.  It would have been better had I won but you can't cry about losing if you choose to play.  Well you can but you shouldn't.

Have a lovely Wednesday and remember Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day.  And today I am not...

Isn't this a nice pool?  It belongs to a friend of Ryan's and the house is lovely too.  

It is one of my all time favorite houses actually.  

I got a lovely call from my WCK last night, he knows I am going away Monday and wants to try to come and see me later in the week.  I hope he can, I know how much work he has to get done and he's working about three hours away so it would cause him some hardship but sometimes you just want to do something.

Today Andre' will be beating me up and then there is poker tonight. And it's almost time to pack too!  One of my favorite activities. 

Have a wonderful Tuesday y'all.  I will too for sure.  And today I am not Miss-Bee-Havin'!

This morning I have something to do that is not so pleasant but I'll get it done and then move on to canasta this afternoon which will be much more fun.  I am hoping Edward can get home for at least a day this week before I leave but not sure.  He said he'd sure try.

Just think, one week from now I will be on a cruise ship.  Yay for that.  As of this moment I still don't have my cabin assignment but that's okay.  If it goes to the last minute I might get an upgrade.  We can hope.

The pool has been absolutely fabulous but I won't have time to get in it today.  I'll walk though so at least I'll get some exercise and then tomorrow I have Andre' again.

I know I have been a really bad blog buddy not getting around to blogs for a bit.  I am really sorry and will try to get there soon. 

Have a wonderful new week and do something special for someone when they least expect it!  I will too.  And for the record I am NOT...

No duck this week, he has a cold and I don't want to be near it so I'll go by myself and spend more time at the pool. 

One week until cruise time. I still don't have my cabin assignment, I booked a guarantee this time.  If you don't know, you let then pick your cabin and it is cheaper to book.  You will get at least what you choose, in my case a balcony.  That means they will either assign me a balcony that did not sell or something better if they were able to sell all the balcony cabins.  I don't really care, I prefer port side but don't mind starboard.

Who else is still using WEN?  Besides me that is?  Any time I talk so someone that says they don't like it - when we talk I find they are not using it correctly.  It is not shampoo and you don't use it like shampoo.  I think if you use it correctly you will love it.  Except my hairdresser who has never used it and hates it and will not allow it in her salon.  This does not make me happy.

Have a happy Sunday y'all.  I will too but I'll be missing the duck.  And I'm not...

This is not a new photo of Ryan but today is his birthday and he had the most amazing party I ever attended last night. There were about 49ish people and everyone was so friendly and nice and the food was amazing too.  Then there was karaoke and Ryan sings like an angel. They were all great but he was the best. They are in a gay pride choir and really talented young men. There were women there as well of course, he has many friends and no wonder. I am truly thankful for him in my life.

Bee

Today is a pool day with Andre' at 10:00.  Then I have some more work to do with Ryan for his big birthday party tonight.  His apartment is really beautiful, masculine, lots of marble and granite, really nice and he's showing it to his friends for the first time.  I am SO lucky he came into my life I just cannot tell you.  

Yesterday I lost at canasta.  I was yawning the whole afternoon.  I have been going to bed late because I am not tired and waking up between three and four in the morning and staying up.  It is catching up with me for sure and I need one of those twelve hour sleeps I do once in a while.  

So it's Friday and I know y'all love that.  The weekend will be uneventful here for me with Edward gone again but I am going to have lunch with the duck on Saturday instead of Sunday as he has plans on Sunday this week so that's something to look forward to. Y'all. :)

Guess that's about all I have in my head today.  Make the Friday and the weekend special somehow doing something nice, ok?  I will be the one who is not really...
