BOAT! BOAT! BOAT! I’M ON A BOAT!

Let us flash back January 15, 2020 when I had a complete mental breakdown and booked a cruise to “celebrate*” my 35th birthday. I was pumped and wouldn’t shut up about it. I even wrote a post about how much I was planning to be as obnoxious as possible about it. Nothing is worse than

The World Cancelled My Cruise and I Lost My Damn Mind

It shouldn’t really be a surprise to anyone but… my cruise got cancelled. I was really holding out hope that we’d be sailing in May but when the CDC extended their “no sail” guidelines another 100 days it was pretty much a given that I wouldn’t be sipping colorful drinks on a ship deck anytime

There is Nothing Worse than Me Right after Booking a Cruise

So does anyone else just have a full on mental breakdown and book a cruise? Nope? Just me? That’s cool. The conversation with Ashley-Michelle on January 15th when I woke her up with a phone call: ME: Okay, I’m having a meltdown, do you think you’ll have cruise money by this deadline? HER: Yeah, for

We’re Getting Married Now, Those Are the Rules

Apparently, you haven’t lived until you’ve gone on a cruise with me. At least this is the general consensus among our friends after Ashley-Michelle and I returned from the Bahamas. Truth be told, we actually had a low-key time which is what we wanted. The two of us were exhausted and overworked and just needed

The Real World Is Less Fun Than I Remember

I’m back ya’ll! Actually, I’ve been back since Friday but I made the terrible mistake of immediately going back to work. Lesson learned- take a damn extra day off when returning from a trip in order to readjust to the real world again. The reality is that I work in the food-service industry and, unless

Becoming a Backstreet Boy and Making Out With Dolphins

It’s been just under a month since I went on my 3-night cruise to the Bahamas and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t paying regular visits to the Royal Caribbean web site in an effort to plan my next escape. Frankly, if I had the money I’d jump on one of the fall

To Blog, or Not to Blog? That Is the Question

MY VACATION IS COMING MY VACATION IS COMING!!! If I’m being real, I’m honestly really excited about seeing my sister. I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw her and my best guess is that it was sometime around November of 2015. I would like to pretend there’s no way that could be right

Packing for A Cruise; or, A Random Tirade About Fashion

With just three days to go until we set sail on our cruise, I decided it was time to actually start considering the idea of perhaps entertaining the thoughts of probably packing. I have always been a master procrastinator when it comes to packing. Having spent the last ten years on the road for work,

Bermuda, Bahama, Come on Pretty Mama

Announcement time? I’ve been keeping it somewhat under wraps for no real reason but I’m excited to say that I am just seven days away from a vacation! Even more exciting is that I’ll be going on this trip with my OG partner in crime, my sister Shannon! This is easily the most last minute
