Room service cheesecake.

Hot tub was always FULL of people.  

Around the clock full.

There isn't enough money on this earth that would get me into that cesspool of urine.

We were the only two diamond guests so we had the captain all to ourselves.

And there was CAKE!!!

Now back to reality, well my reality anyway.  Pool time, cards, sun and fun here.  I wish the same for you...

So I called Roche' to see if he was okay and he was having so much fun he didn't even come to the phone. He is happy and I'll get him back on Friday. I am told he has a new "friend" whatever that means and that he's been wearing his tiara and a gown. He now wants little shoes.

I got a call from guest services for me and the duck to meet with the Captain Thursday at 4:00. I don't know what the diamond party is yet but that's it I'm sure.





So the duck got a bit of sunburn in Cozumel. He took a tour of the Mayan ruins and I stayed on the ship. As usual.

All is well in paradise. Hope it's the same where you are...

Today is Cozumel and the duck is going on a tour. Yesterday in Key West I tried to swim in the ship's pool but it was full of tiny people and I do mean full of little splashers so no pool for me. Maybe today, at least I hope so.

Last night was formal night and not many people dressed up so after dinner and a show I changed clothes to go back out. Oh, and I won pretty good at Roulette. I told the dealer to pick a number and I'd put down money for us both so we decided on 4 and bang, it was 4! So we both won! Tits!

The comedy shows were really good too. There is lots going on and I am having a great time.

So far - so good. Ship- old but well cared for and interesting to look at. Food - lido is meh, dining room is excellent!

Piano bar - Haley is good, very good, but so far not much personality, not so much fun yet. She has wonderful skills and I am hopefull she gets to be more fun.

Key West - just docked and we are at the navy dock, not Mallory Square. That's a shame.

Miss- behavin' a tiny bit... maybe.

Seen around and about... a small child lick the handrail all the way down and parents watched him. Isn't that cute? Chuck says he'll get SARS MARS PARS and STARS whatever they are. A couple that was married on the ship at sailaway... barely waiting to get to their room. The Captain taking a selfie on the bridge from my balcony. Some gypsys in full dress. A very pregnant woman in an itsy bitsy bikini. Yes, I daresay it's going to be some week folks.

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...

Well yesterday I did win at canasta.  A dollar.  Today I shall be swimming and then I am going out to dinner tonight with the (self appointed) mayor (of the pool) and his wife and the duck.  But first I have to finish packing.  I can't believe it, I have a rolling carry-on and it's not even nearly full.  I must be forgetting something.  My hand carry is pretty light too, just my wallet stuff and iPad and glasses.  Maybe I finally have this down pat.

Oh, and I did my pedicure myself so my toes will pass ship inspection.  You know I like to do it myself because I can reach my toes now!  Plus every time I do it I think about the time I painted Charlie's toes red while he was sleeping that time.  He didn't notice it in the morning, went to work with them too.  Buy boy howdy when he got home and took a shower he did!  Too funny!

And that's all I know for today because I didn't do anything else.  Have a lovely Sunday.  I sure will too...

Memorial Day

Please remember the reason for it.

Three day weekend?  Yes.

But so much more.

Barbecue?  Yes.

But SO much more.

My beloved always remembered.

And so do I.

I had a nice surprise yesterday, one of my gal pals asked me to go out to dinner last night and we had a really nice meal and a lovely chat.  I was all ready to go home from canasta and make eggs and toast or a nutrisystem dinner but no, I had wahoo and very low calorie sides (Thai cucumber salad and some rice and some melon) for a delicious dinner (or as they say in the South - a meat and three).  I love it when that happens.

Today I'll be getting beat up trained by Andre' at the gym and then to the pool and then a condo meeting after that so it's a busy day.  Three things is one too many for me but I'll handle it.  

Roche' is starting to whine about taking all his toys and clothes on the cruise, I explained we are traveling light this time and now he is pouting.  He never plays with his toys on the ship anyway, he just plays with the towel animals and the cabin stewards.  

So that's it from here folks, hope your Friday is totally tits.  Mine will be for sure!

Well yay, some of you got it yesterday, the photo.  It is me (Bee), Chuck (the duck) and Cat.  My little family.  Plus Roche' above of course.

So guess what happened yesterday?  I was at the club playing Maj and Andre' poked his head in and said I want to talk to you when you are done here so I go into the gym and he said he'd like to kick it up another notch.  So after everything he came to the pool at the condo and I did my workout in the pool.  I did really good too.  Friday I'll do the gym.  He said I should do three times a week now, two in the gym and one in the pool probably.  I think I'll probably try it after the cruise next week.  That and more nutrisystem.  And honey if that doesn't do it nothing will.  I am obsessed with this last 20 pounds now.  Plus whatever I gain on the cruise (smile).

Today is a canasta game and lunch so no pool for me.  Oh, I got the suitcase out, I'm only taking a small one (carry on rolling suitcase) and I am very proud not to be overpacking.  I just thought all I took I'd have to put away when I got home and that slowed me down a chunk!

That's about it from me today y'all.  Have a great Thursday.  I will too...
