It’s been awhile…

I don’t know when the last time I typed in my blog but it’s hasn’t been resent. So, I will start with last Tuesday.

Tuesday, I went to my Dad’s- -that’s about it. Oh! I saw White Chicks

Wednesday, I had a day of relaxation. I got a manicure and pedicure (that was the nicest thing ever).  I went out for lunch and then I chilled around the house.

THURSDAY! I woke up at 4 a.m. to go to BWI. Our flight left at 7 and I arrived in sunny Florida at like 10:30. We took a cab (yes all seven of us) to the port where we had to catch our cruise. Omigosh that thing was huge! We got on it around noon and we had lunch.  I loved that ship all the food was free- -well it was part of the payment to get on it, but I ate so much.  Anyways we kind of explored the ship and then we went to our rooms and put our stuff away.  Lauren and I walked around the ship and made a new friend… Bailey. We pretty much spent the rest of the day with her. We ate in the formal dinning room… that was ritzy. Then, we check out the teen club. It was kind of lame no one was dancing- -but there were free smoothes.   After we left the club we went to listen to Laura sing karaoke. Then, I went to bed.

Friday was a day at sea.  The water was so blue and pretty! I chilled by the pool for the most part only getting up to use the bathroom or get some of that free ice cream. It was the captain’s ball so we all dressed up and went to the cocktail party.  Then we went to dinner. After dinner Lauren and I put on our bathing suits to hop in the hot tub (which was cold but I was fine with that).  Umm and then we went to listen to Laura sing some more karaoke.  I was ready to go to bed by 10 but I don’t think I actually hit the sack till midnight. It was hard to tell time there because there were no clocks.
Saturday was the most exciting thing ever, but by this point I was sick of being with my family.  Around 8 a.m. we woke up in Cozumel Mexico.  We got off the boat around 9:30 and we headed in the direction of the “beach.”  Yeah we had to take a cab to get to the real beach.  The sand was so white and the water was crystal clear. I was amazing.  We saw for a little while and then I saw this glass bottom boat pull up and I was like “Can we do that?” So my Dad went and asked about the price but it ended up being snorkeling too. So we got all the equipment and we went out to the reefs and we swam with the fish.  I touched one! I can’t even explain the feeling I got from being out there. I was happy and intrigued and I don’t it was AWESOME! After the boat ride we went back to the beach and had some Mexican food for lunch… did you know they eat iguanas? Anyway the food was awesome.  I walked to some of the shops and the people that humor me.  “I’ve been waiting for you!” “Come in” “I’ll make a deal!” All they wanted was your money.  Then this old man was hitting on me… it was funny stuff.  I ended up losing $20 there… someone must of gotten into my wallet or I lost it like the moron that I am.  Well we caught a taxi back to the port and we had dinner on the ship.  That evening was horrible.  So, my Dad never really punishes my brother for anything and it annoys me to no end.  So my brother hit me and then I hit him and it kept going back and forth because my Dad wouldn’t tell him to stop.  So then my brother knocks over the water and my Dad yells at me.  He always yells at me! I marched off. I was PISSED! I ended up in the teen room where I was the only girl, but I did learn how to play Texas Hold em’ and I won! Yeah buddy. Then I ended up going to my room where I ran into Lauren who bought me a bobble head turtle… it made me happy. Then we went out shopping where I got some stuff for my mommy.  Then I was back to the ship where I walked around some more. They had free tacos so I ate a few of those and then I went to bed.

Sunday was another day at sea.  I laid out in the sun.  My Dad came in third in the slot tournament.   That evening Laura was in the Legends Show for her singing.  Oh, I played some Bingo in the teen room and won. I am just so excellent.  Sunday was kind of a chill day but there was a lot to do.  We had to pack up our stuff and there were tons of shows and contest to watch.  But Sunday was the hottest day ever (as in heat).  Oh, then I opened up…the boat was really rocky and well I was getting sick so I chilled in a window seat and I ended up yelling random things at people.  It was actually pretty funny.  You had to be there.  Yeah, after everything was done I went to bed.

Monday, we landed!  I woke up at about 8 and grabbed some breakfast than I sat in my room till they told us to go to our muster stations.  Then I sat there and waited for them to call us off the boat.  After that there was a lot of standing in lines and rain.  We went to our hotel checked in; my dad grabbed our “rent-a-car.”  We all passed out in the hotel… the rain makes people pretty sleepy.  Oh, and once again a drink was spilled on me.  Thanks to Hunter who annoyed me and made me laugh.  I just love little kids who spill soda on you then stick their grubby little fingers in your salad while you eat it. When we woke up we grabbed some food and then we headed to the movie theater to see A Cinderella Story. Omigosh I loved that movie, I don’t know I’m a goober.

Tuesday it rained a lot.  We went to Bush Gardens.  I’m telling you now- - NEVER TRAVEL IN LARGE GROUPS!!!  There was a lot of arguing and whining.   Even though there was a ton of rain it was nice because there weren’t too many people.  Therefore I was able to ride everything I wanted to.  So my Tuesday was spent at an amusement park.  Oh, if you ever got to the Bush Gardens in Tampa see KaTonga because it’s an awesome show.

Wednesday I went to the water park.  There was also a lot of arguing on Wednesday.  It was hot and crowded so I spent most of my time in the lazy river but eventually I made it to most of the waterslides.  It wasn’t the best water park but I was glad that I could hangout with my Dad for more than an hour without getting mad.  But that all changed when we left the park to meet up with Laura Lauren and Hunter.  The amusement park was just too crowded so we went back to the hotel where we played poker, scrabble and ate three pizzas.  We all passed out!

Thursday was extremely slow.  We tried to find things to do before our flight so we went to the Harley Shop the mall.  I got the cutest outfit.  Then we went to the airport like 6 hours before we had to catch our plane.  So we played games and ate dinner at Fridays in the mall.  I got home around 12:30 last night/ this morning whatever.  And today I ended up cleaning my room, unpacking, and hanging out with Mr. Ryals.  No not Chris’ dad!

That’s my week in a nutshell.
