Cruise, Football, and stupidity.

I'm sure you are all having Bela withdrawl. ok, at least lie to me about it. The cruise was alright. I, like many of you already know, am not a huge fan of cruises, I just like spending time with fun people. Unfortunately, spending every waking hour with family for a week is a little tedious sometimes. I already get to do that at home. There were a total of 22 of us on the cruise. It stopped in San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, USVI; and St. Maarten, a Dutch/French territory island. Of the 6 days of sailing of the 7 day cruise, two days were overcast, and really too windy to sit outside. They did have a good gym, which was nice, but it's really hard running on a treadmill when the waters are rough. You keep getting thrown off! The food in the dining room was really good though. It's really nice having two waiters waiting on you for 4 courses, for seven days. Yum. Thanksgiving was weird though. although they offered turkey in the restaurant, it didn't really feel like thanksgiving. Oh well. We went to the beach on St. Maarten and for a little while in St. Thomas. and in all three stops, we shopped a bit. It's weird how different people choose to spend their money. One of my cousins, who drives a porche and is dating this woman who came along...his girlfriend went shopping and bought a watch for $12,000. Now, I am perfectly content with my Fossil watch. It tells time, and I don't have to take it off to go swimming. Granted, there are no diamonds in it, but I think $12K for a watch is a bit excessive, even if you've "been wanting that specific watch for 5 years". All I could think about was "that is half a downpayment!!!!" But hey, to each their own.

On the football side, I am proud to say we beat #3 Miami last weekend, and i got back in town in time to watch the GT/UGA game on TV last night. It is lonely to watch it alone in a hotel room, but at least I wasn't with any of my UGA friends so they couldn't rub it in the loss. I must say though, it was a fabulous game. Much better than the past few years. As Brandon put it, UGA may have won for the last four years, but in the end, I'm still smarter than you ;-)

I am in Daytona Beach now, and will be here till Tuesday evening. we ate lunch yesterday in Miami before getting on the road, and a couple hours later, I realized I left my purse where we ate. I felt so stupid. I have never left my purse anywhere. well, we called, and they still had my purse (less $30), and my uncle went to pick it up and will ship it to me. The hard part, is that I have to fly, and spend 3 days out of town before I get home. Luckily, I had my passport with me, not in my purse, so at least I'll still be able to get my flight home. But I feel naked without my cell phone, wallet, or camera. For the time being, I am borrowing my mom's cell phone, so if you want to call me, IM me and I'll give you the number (remember, I don't have almost any numbers that I know by heart)
