The Magic Ship Continues!
I need a nap! What a weekend! Faith and I had a blast in Vegas, and as she says, what happens in vegas, stays in vegas! So don't even ask, my lips are sealed, and Faith, if you hadn't dared me, I probably wouldn't have, but I am so glad I did! tee hee!
We sure do want to congratulate the 3 of you: Lady, Rainie (biker chick) and of course, our fearless Capt MrMagic! You have set the bar for the rest of us. Without you and the others on board who have made this journey bearable and a whole lot of fun, I don't know if my quit would be successful. During the first few days I actually lived on this ship...all of my free time was spent either reading this post or digging through the smoke to find the creative part of me to be able to respond. I know I will never have another cig because I can't disappoint any of you, or myself. I've come too far with your help. You shipmates got me through. Just to know you are out there, that we are all here for each other regardless...(and the music helps too!) It seems to me that we know things about each other that nobody else will ever understand. (maybe that's a good thing). A BIG (((HUG))) and thank you to all of you.
There is one thing you maybe don't know....I HATE MONDAYS! We all go back to our realities which are not nearly as much fun, even tho' we keep in touch somewhat. 5 days can really drag, but eventually the weekend does come, and along with it some special activity on board. Yes, we are well taken care of and entertained, wined, dined, and....(well, that may have to stay in vegas).
What is our next port o' call, and when do we sail? Rio has been fantabulous, and I can't wait for the adventure to continue.
Congratulations to each and every one, I raise my full glass to all of us! Oh yeah!
I've Loved These Days
~Billy Joel
Now we take our time
so nonchalant
And spend our nights so bon vivant
We dress our days in silken robes
The money comes
The money goes
We know it's all a passing phase
We light our lamps for atmosphere
And hang out hopes on chandeliers
We're going wrong
we're gaining weight
We're sleeping long and far too late
And so it's time to change our ways
But I've loved these days
Now as we indulge in things refined
We hide our hearts from hard
