One Quick Thing

I know I know I said I wasn't going to be coming back until I had figured some stuff out. Still am working on that one, but I was excited and wanted to post.

Last week, hubby and I did some budgeting, got some extra unexpected funds, and paid the down-payment on our cruise for this year's anniversary! We had such a blast last time, that we decided we wanted to go again. And so, we paid the down payment and now have a few months to pay off the rest of it, and be able to save up for fun stuff on it too!

VERY EXCITED!!!

Long Day

Long day ahead (well, half over at least). 

I was out till 2:30 with friends and Hubby. We went and saw Predators which was, surprisingly, actually pretty decent. Lost that whole 80s action feel (thank goodness!), and Adrien Brody was actually believable as a Black Ops/Blackwater (they never really say) guy. I'm impressed. Overall, good silly fun. Also, the take on the Predator culture was fun and intriguing. And they definitely left it open for a sequel.  

Because of the late night, I'm currently operating on auto-pilot and just waiting for the day to run out. Then it's the weekend which I will take to recuperate and relax and enjoy being out in the sun. Maybe a beach trip would be in order, that might be fun. Or just out by the pool. Either way, determined to enjoy the weekend. 

Next week should be exciting, mostly because Inception is coming out. So Excited! Seeing it with Hubby and a friend on IMAX. Whee! 

Also. Planning stuff for Our Cruise. And getting excited as it keeps coming closer....even if it's still 5 weeks and a few days away. 

That's all from my front. Am suddenly feeling rather ill. I am probably dehydrated and all that. I'm going to find water and crackers. 

I also have this song stuck in my head from a preview last night and find it rather intriguing. 


"Sympathy For The Devil"

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank 
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made

I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you 
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um baby, get down

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah

What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name

Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah 

Alone

So. We leave on our cruise in 6 weeks, 4 days. No, I'm not counting down. Who said anything about counting down? It's not like we're extremely excited to be going on vacation for a grand total of 9 1/2 days or anything. Nope. Not at all. 

This weekend was very nice and relaxing, though not long enough (as always). We spent most of it relaxed, watching movies and hanging out with Hubby's cousin. Sunday was a BBQ for the Fourth with our condo complex, where we got to meet a lot of our neighbors and eat good food, and then shoot off fireworks. Then yesterday we slept in till noon, Hubby and I made breakfast for each other, and then got to visit with a good friend and his little daughter who were driving up from San Marcos. That was fun. We had Ruby's, I got stickers all over me thanks to the little one, and then played around a fountain and looked at Henna tattoos. All in all, a wonderful weekend. 


Life, at the moment, is incredibly frustrating. It's that whole feeling of being almost there to where things will change but it's not quite there yet and you're doing this balancing act in between. I absolutely hate that feeling. It's the same one you get when you're flying, right as you're taking off but not quite there yet, the sudden dip in your stomach and your ears aren't quite popped. That annoying feeling.

I feel very Alone right now. I realize I have an amazing Hubby and he does help a lot, but he isn't my entire life (and he shouldn't be! That's unhealthy). But I honestly wish I had closer friends than I do now. Most of them have Left, in one form or another, and it's incredibly hard, especially when I don't really have any good way to make more friends. I am so thankful for the friends I do have. I just wish I had more closer to me as well....

I have got a bit more I'd like to talk about but I don't think this is the right medium, to be honest. 


So back to work I go....and hope things start looking up soon.

Anniversary Adventure!

So...I can finally announce it. We're going on a 7day7night Carnival Cruise for our 2nd year anniversary adventure! Sooo excited. We've been wanting to do one for a long time (initially thought about doing it for our Honeymoon), and now it worked out so we can. 

Yayayayayayayy!!!!!!!!!!!

Now.....I need actual summer clothes. Eep!
