A QUICK UPDATE

I only have a few minutes. I just did the treadmill, and I have to take a shower and wash the funk off before dinner. We are going to the ITALIAN restaurant tonight ( you have to make reservations- it feels like a special treat).

SO if you're wondering...boy wonder turned out to be all talk. DRUNK and retarded. He's gone soon. Oh well. It was fun for a minute!

And there's another guy who has been making eyes at me anyway....it's just a matter of time before I learn russian. :)

Also, we went to our first engine party this week. It was just like college but more fun, even though we still don't know that many crew members. We're getting there. Slowly but surely....

We played games with a few new people this week. That was fun. Scattergories- the friend maker.

The highlight of the last week was getting my tarot cards read by one of the dancers who has become our friend. He is awesome. We all ordered room service and crammed into one of our rooms with a couple bottles of five dollar wine (CHEAP AT THE CREW STORE). Super fun. I know that I have a horrible short term memory-so I recorded my reading on my little digital recorder. yay.

ALSO- The laptop is fixed!!!! I sent it to my amazing nephew-in-law in Boston, and he fixed it in a matter of hours. Awesome. I can't wait till we start going to Boston every week (september), so I can take them out to lunch. weeee.

I spent New York day in Chinatown (I bought some cheap imports and some japanese candy which makes me laugh). We ate some amazing vietnamese food (I took pictures), and then we went to the Chinatown ice cream factory- OHMYGOD> If you've never had cherry pistachio ice cream, do it. And then tell it to call me.

The best part was that I got to hang out with two old friends- Eliza and Susan!!! It was so great to see them- Seeinf people you love but don't get to see enough is such a great way to recharge on that new york day.

This week, we go to Port Canaveral Florida as the first stop (our nickname for this 6-day cruise is the "Nascar Run," but don't tell anyone I said that). But the best part about Port Canaveral is that there is a bus that takes you to the two best places on earth (when you work on a cruise ship):

1. WAL-MART

2. a real MALL (with a food court and a Movie theater, along with normal stores and a Cold Stone)

3. a beach, but it sucks, so we don't count that one.

And this bus is only $5.00 for crew. uhm...hell yeah NASCAR!

So we get very excited about this Nascar Port Canaveral Day. As you can imagine, the prospect of being able to see a movie, eat popcorn and buy tampons in the same day makes us giddy. Or maybe that's just me.

I heart you all.
