Like I can REALLY focus on work right now!
Just printed out my Set Sail Pass (Boarding Pass) for the cruise. SO EXCITED!
So much to do for work, but EVEN MORE to do to get ready to go on vacation!
• Have to get clothes to go away with (according to gigglemom, the summer stuff I have isn't "Islandy" enough. apparently, I am supposed to be dressing in bright ass colors and whites and stuff. That's swell and all, but, I don't think anyone wants to see me in a giant yellow flowered mu-mu. Then again, I've never been to the Bahamas. It might be teeming with yellow mu-mus.)
• Pray that I receive my passport by June 17th (I can still use my birth certificate and driver's license, but, supposedly, it's a lot easier to get around while holding your passport.)
• Send out invoices to clients (hope that they send me checks before I leave... because that would be nice.)
• Set up email so that my inbox doesn't get clogged to death with emails while I am away.
• Did I mention shop for cruise wear? I was in Old Navy the other day (prior to the date on Sunday) and grabbed a whole bunch of XL and XXL stuff in there - didn't try them on until i got home - I swear that the Old Navy Sweatshop kids screwed up and put XXL tags on the Small shirts. Bastards.)
• See Dad on Father's Day (I bought him a couple of pairs of Nordic Walking Sticks --- for he and my stepmom to use.
• Tie all work stuff up in a neat little bow by June 18th
• PACK!!! I have no idea where my suitcase is. The thing is kind of huge and Spirit Airlines made me pre-purchase bag check-in for $10 per bag. Right now I only have the one check-in bag (if I can find it) and the carry-on bag... which I need to buy and slap some makeshift clothing/etc in
• set up that cruise post on my blog - that'll be on Thursday night June 19th that I set that up
• have to get my nails and bikini wax next thursday (maybe weds for the bikini. god only knows. shouldn't it be called a "one-piece wax" since there is no way in hell that a bikini is going on my body? maybe I should just get one of those old-timey bathing suits that goes from wrist to ankle. They should make those but with the new-fangled material that allows you to tan through it.)
Whatchoosayin'?? (4 yapped)
Christopher Cross - Sailing
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Erin - we have luggage if you need it... The bag is pretty big. Tell you Mom I will check in on her when you are away!! Call me if you need the bag - it should suit you just fine! Matching carry-on too.

So I checked out the video clip on Paul Sanchez.
he starts singin' and I'm like...hey I know that song...My husband walks over and says yeah it's cowboy mouth..Well...I like Cowboy Mouth. so I you tubed them...Wow what the hell happened to Fred???? I can see why Paul left
Fred is a little to full of himself...and it's startin to show...His shirts are gettin tighter in the middle...to bad it didn't work out..Cowboy Mouth was an excellent group and Fred did have a phenomenal voice.
[note from GC: yep! I was a fan of CM since 94. If you read some of the blogs and the interview with paul on his site, it explains what happened. I miss CM, but, in my opinion, they had become watered down (audience-wise) for me over the past 4 years. I always was drawn to the songs that Paul wrote for hte band and solo though]
