i'm home from cruising the Caribbean!!
what an amazing 10 days we had. when i arrived home to the Tdot my family was
giddy with excitement although you could never tell from the expression on my mothers freshly botoxed face. she did look beautiful though... throughout the entire trip she took great pains to keep that new face out of the hot Caribbean sun while my sister and i tried our best to expose every single each of our skin to it. i have to say i do have an amazing tan. by far my favorite island was Barbados and then Aruba. the beaches were spectacular, stretches of white sand and clear blue water as far as the eye can see.
we were in Barbados Christmas eve and didn't leave port until midnight, that's about when the sun stroke kicked in i began puking. for the next 24hrs i was very ill. when we arrived in Aruba the following morning i couldn't even get out of bed for our snorkeling trip. i laid in our dark state room until the afternoon when my family returned, i dragged myself out with them back to the beach for awhile and for some sight seeing. every now and then i had to duck in behind a building to retch up nothing! i have to be the only person who's lost weight on a cruise...
its really amazing how quickly you can get into the cruise mentality of relaxing and not caring about much. every whim is taken care of, over indulgence is promoted and encouraged without guilt. everyone walks around with a huge smile on their face always with a fancy drink in hand...
we didn't have any luck locating our family in either Barbados or Aruba... i had no idea that my grandmas brother lived in Aruba. apparently they knew we were coming but they only speak dutch and didn't know how to reply to our email..
another one of my favorites was Puerto Rico, that's where we departed from. old San Juan was really interesting. the history and the architecture was breath taking as were the beaches. oh i miss the beaches... i miss being in my bikini all day, being bare foot and hanging out with my sister. i'm happy to say my family made it through this vacation with minimal disturbances. so! from Puerto Rico we went to St. Thomas then to Martinique, Barbados and finally Aruba! its nice to be home but i really rather be back on the beach and floating in the ocean.. ahhhh...
i did miss my phred, i have my suspicions that something happened when i was gone, i can't say what but my intuition tells me something isn't completely right...
anyway, tonight were heading over to a friends house for a chill new years eve. this morning on the way home from dropping phred to work i hit and killed a pigeon. i feel like that's not such a good way to end the year..

while i was gone S.O.B i had incredibly sexy dreams about you!

happy new year!

its been awhile since i've written and this will be my last entry till the new year i suspect.
things have been kind of blah around here. i am excited about my trip though. finally its starting to kick in that in few short days i'll be Puerto Rico.
i'm going to miss phred like mad while i'm gone. i'm a bit worried that he might be lonely when i'm gone, and when phred is lonely he does stupid things. i don't want to even think about it.....
agh!
merry fucking christmas everyone!
especially you Sexy Office Boy!

day 8 of the great antidepressant experiment and i'm feeling pretty good.
i'm still not sure if its the drugs or if i'm just convincing myself that i feel better.
whatever it is i'm happy so that's all that matters. one of the side effects i am feeling is lack of appetite, which is helping in my quest to lose a few pounds!
getting close to my departure date for the cruise and my family is getting really
excited. as am i despite the fact that i'll really miss phred. i was looking forward to our
first christmas in our new place, i guess that will have to wait till next year.
better get to work! i have orders to fill before i go!
