I see a cruise in my future!!!

Of course a cruise is in my future, BUT there is also another one!!! Manuel and I toured the EPIC on Saturday! AWESOME!!! He never takes more than a few days off from work, so when I was offered the opportunity to tour the ship and have lunch...wellllll I had to invite him along! So off we went on the bus with others and had a really nice time. There are really fantastic shows offered, such as Blue Man Crew, Cirque du Soleil, and Legends...the Las Vegas cruise. The rooms were really neat also, different, but nice. I really like the spa suite. He was interested!! He notice the casino! So, Monday there was a special, so I booked the cruise complete with a down payment and called to tell him he was going! LOL Yep!! I did. I also contacted Liz and told her and with in an hour she and Evan were booked by that night her in-laws were booked! We're still working on Candy and Larry!!! We'll be going to the Eastern Carribean, which we haven't been. So, a cruise is in my future for sure!!! :D

Motivation....

Even though it is the New Year, I don't seem to be any more motivated. Perhaps, technology has slowed this down. I have updated my blog, and I have material out on the counter waiting to be cut. As I look at the material, I think I need to add another fabric in white. I think the original fabric I was going to use is to busy. As I sit and type, there is tragety with shootings in Arizona, what is it with people. Can they not verbilize and do positive things to make changes? May God watch over all of us.

Technology!

NOOK! This is the latest in technology. It is an E-Book (electronic book). Rather than reading a book in which you turn pages; this sleek gadget actually stores a library of books to read all with the touch of our finger. I opted for the color Nook because I can download magazines, newspapers, etc. There are children's books that can be downloaded and have some interactivity with them. There is internet accesss, and there are games. I wanted and iPad, and I think I still want to get one. I'm used to the iPhone so in navigating the Nook I get a bit, ummmm, irritated!!! I do like the fact that I can read in the dark and not need a light. I have the my Nook app on my iPhone and can read my book there also, it really is pretty cool!!!!

Happy New Year 2011!

We rang in the new year very quietly and unexciting!!! But the new year came any way!! What is hard to believe is that it has been eleven year since Y2K! That is when people panicked thinking things would crash and burn (technology wise) because of the new decade! How silly!! Last year went by extremely fast and I am sure this one will also. I really haven't set any goals because when I did last year...they fell apart in the first few week because of I was picked for jury duty....interesting as that was, my year in productivity for fun stuff, suffered. So this year, I will muddle through and plan some trips.....and I'll start by sitting here and enjoying the parade on t.v.
