two weeks

Avery good morning to everyone. How's the weather?!?!? It's cloudy and cold here today. It's foggy you can barely see the waves along the side of the ship. Guess we have crossed the canadian border. We are in Victoria, B.C. tomorrow then a day at sea and back in San Francisco on Monday. I have begun to pack up a bunch of things to send home. I don't know how I got everything on this ship initially. I have bought a ton of books while I have been here though. A lot of educational books and some "out there" reading. I read the Idiot's Guide to the Roman Empire. Took me a couple of weeks to get through it but I learned quite a bit which helps me really take a stab at the greeks when necessary. I also bought an english to spanish dictionary and I didn't really read that one. Just skimmed trhough when we were in Mexico to brush up on my Spanish skills. I have a hundred dvds now as well. Snding those all home. Hopefully I will not have any problems with customs getting these things off the ship.

I just got out of meeting and learned that I am getting a pay raise which is exciting. They are making it retroactive from January so it will be a nice bit to add to my savings. Yipppee.

Tonight's formal and I am running around getting last minute arrangments made. No Midnight Buffet tonight which is great because I hate hosting it at 11:30PM. I am tired by the end of the night I just can't find the energy to be funny anymore. Hahaha. I am more on the lines of just funny looking.

I am looking forward to my toobing vacation in late June. If anyone else is interested, let me know. I will forward the booking information to you for the cabins. I think we have confirmed June 28th or something - whatever the date is of the weekend BEFORE 4th of July.

OH YEAH - I finally saw that movie Elf with Will Farrell last night. Hysterical! I laughed my head off. "Who needs a hug??"

No news really here, just wanted to say hello and kill a bit of time. Sweet hugs to everyone and I will see you in 2 weeks!!! Yippee!!!
