Carnival cake - here I come!  As I type this (it is Sunday night) I am so full I can't even think about it yet.  We had such a lovely dinner last night, I ate way too much but in my defense I did work in the pool for an hour and they comped the dessert so if you don't have to pay for it it doesn't count.  I know that is true too.  Yup, if you don't have to pay for it it's like you didn't have it.

So the duck is picking me up around 8:30ish because we have breakfast on the way to the port.  It's a cruise tradition to go to Nick's on the way.  I may still be full in the morning though.  Seriously, that was the most I have eaten in a very long time.  So delicious.

I think I have everything handled in my absence.  The (self appointed) mayor (of the pool) is going to see that it remains pristine until my return and the mail will be fine because I don't get much and only will be gone Monday - Friday and Monday is a holiday so the mailbox will hold everything, the fridge is pretty well cleaned out, the laundry is done, the sheets are clean, yup, I am ready to rock and roll.

Speaking of rocks, Roche' is going to stay with a pal this time.  He decided that a sleepover with a cute friend would be more fun than a cruise.  He is all packed and he is taking all his clothes and all his toys and his tiara and I'll drop him off on the way.  He's all excited too.  So it will just be me and the duck this trip.

That's all I have in my brain today y'all.  Have a great week and you know we will too.  I'll post but not on schedule...
