So.. I am FINALLY getting my cruise pics up.  We went on a cruise on 12-7-07 through 12-15-08.  We spent the first night in Miami and wow did we rack up a large bill everywhere we went on South Beach!  I think between 4 of us we spent $1500 in 1 night... ay carumba! 

Well.. it turned out to pretty much SUCK!  We had really windy weather and rough seas!  I was pretty sick from the rough seas. 

We got into Puerto Rico about an hour late and ended up partien it up at Senior Frogs which rocked, but it sucked because we didn't get to visit anyplace besides the bar because it was POURING! 

We then went to St. Thomas after the Tropical Storm Olga.  So, they were busy cleaning up and all that jazz.  We saw some amazing views anyway.

Then we had a fun day at sea, which were not fun at all, due to the high winds they closed off the top part of the deck and didnt fill the pools, so it was boring.  I'm not really a bar person so it's not like we could sit and drink it up ALL day. 

We FINALLY got a nice day on land at Half Moon Cay(private island), Bahamas.  Where we enjoyed horseback riding through the back woods and then in the ocean.  Being a long time horse rider I was in HEAVEN!  It was so gorgeous and majestic.  It was AMAZING.  I wish I could have had my horse there with me, but not a chance. haha.  We then spent a few hours hanging out at the beach, then it was off to jet ski.  I had never been on a jet ski before and OMG was it AWESOME! We were the last crew of the day so it was just the 4 of us and the tour guide.  Due to the roughness of the Ocean he didn't even want to bring us out there, however, because we all payed attention and could keep a straight line he let us go, we had a blast busting through waves and playing around.  We then went back to the protected area and were wipping around and had a BLAST!  Only one person fell of, and I'm glad it wasn't me as I was afraid the sharks would eat me :) Lol.. yes I know I'm weird.

The next place was Nassau Bahamas, GORGEOUS!  My friend and I went out and explored and had breakfast at a little Cafe on a side street.  It was so fun.  We walked around for a few hours.  Then decided we wanted to go to the beach, while the beach all of our friends were at we couldnt get anyone to take us to that one so we went to another one, while the stupid cabbie dropped us off about a mile away so we wandered through Atlantis resort, which was amazing.  My friend put in $20.00 in a slot machine and won $200.00, sweet!  I wish I had his luck.  We then wondered to the beach and took a few pics, but by then we had to head back to the ship, which was sad because we didn't get to swim in Nassau. 

Then we were back on the boat and back to Miami. This was only my 1st time flying and on our way home we hit turbulance.  None of my friends were by me so I was kind of freaking out.  I went to the bathroom and one of my friends had to come check on me because another friend caught him and told him to make sure I was ok because I looked so frazzled!  Oh man was I happy to have both feet on the ground when we landed =) It was sure tough to come back to COLD Minnesota, however, I was glad to be home. 

Well... Since I didn't get to explore Nassau much, I guess I am going again, as I won Party Plane to Paradise tickets. 

Thanks for reading :)

Have a good day!

P.s. I put up Cruise Pix so be sure to check them out!

I hate the fact that I allow a guy to control my feelings.  He can be so sweet, nice, caring, just an all around great guy, but then the real him comes out.  He takes me for a fool.  He doesn't want to date me, however, he wants to flirt w/ me, hug me, sleep w/ me etc., but I don't make enough money for him and because of our age difference we wont ever be a couple.  He walks all over me.  I happened to drive by on my way to the store and saw another car over at his house.  I don't understand him.  More or less I don't understand myself.  Why do I allow this?  Is this some kind of torture I am putting myself through?  He's been extremely nice to me lately, why?  Is he thinking I am taking him on my trip with me?  Or, is he afraid I will meet someone else and he won't be able to take advantage of me anymore?  Ugh! 

Thanks for reading my vent.

Ugh... I am so stressed I feel like I wanna hide in a corner for a month....

Alright.. well... 2 Sunday's ago (11/18) I was in a car accident, it was my fault I admit it, and I ended up getting a citation for inattentive driving (talking on my phone, my bluetooth[which I only wear while driving btw] was dead) and crashed into the car infront of me.  So... I have to go to court for that... Ugh...  Due to the holiday weekend my insurance was unable to get out to look at my car until Monday 11/26 and declared it totalled.  I ended up getting a very good amount for my car, so yesterday I went and got my check for my car.  It ended up being made out to both my Mom and I (she's the policy holder, iIm the title holder) and my bank won't let me deposit it, even with her signing the back of it... ugh.. stupid U.S. Bank, which btw I am closing my account with them, and so I am opening an account at TCF because they were at least willing to work with me on it.  They might hold my check for 10 business days, which in 10 business days I will be on my cruise (freaking about that too).  I am out of my rental car on Saturday, so I am basically screwed until my check clears, then to top it off I have to go through the check thing again, because in all my moves I misplaced my title ( I actually wonder if I ever received the dang thing) so they with-held some of my money.  AAAAhhhh! 

I went and looked at a new car yesterday and it turned out to be nto what I wanted, so I'm searcing for something different.  AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.................. okay... enough venting for right now... I'm sure you will hear more from me later.
