Let's just say I have a Type A personality and am a wee bit hard on myself. (Ahem.) Since I do consult work from my home, there's always SOMEthing that has to be done at any given time, and I'm always "at work." <br />But I can say this: Every single time I've been "forced" to put work aside and spend time with friends and family, I've NEVER been sorry. Work will always be there. People who love you (and who you love) won't. Take vacations, go out to lunch occasionally, and spend time with your favorite people when you can! <br />Have a wonderful time on your cruise!FMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-52360988499924521902011-05-06T03:57:54.687-04:002011-05-06T03:57:54.687-04:00Just in case you haven't seen this...

Have fun!<br /><br />My husband and I, too, have such a hard time with spontaneity, but had a similar rough week last December and decided, "Let's just drive to Disneyland right now." It was a few days before finals were going to start, so logically not the best time to go on a vacation. But we packed up our son, drove through the night, spent the next day at the Magic Kingdom, then drove home. So uncharacteristic of us, but so fun!!dannieyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199941430175274665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-23684830748203284362011-05-03T22:47:37.108-04:002011-05-03T22:47:37.108-04:00As someone who is trying to cram my 12-year weddin...As someone who is trying to cram my 12-year wedding anniversary into a week of college final exams, over time at work, and cleaning for an onslaught of family this weekend, I can empathize with this post completely.

Schedules and girls-only trips have prevented my husband from cruising but I suspect that once he's gone once I'll have to fight to ever have a non-cruising vacation again.

Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like, jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is, 'You like stuff.' Which is just not a good insult at all, like, 'You are just too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.'" -John Greene<br /><br />Here's the link to the post:<br /><br />http://www.finslippy.com/blog/elsewhere.html<br /><br />Anyway, there you go!<br />Enjoy your cruise!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756700136188588170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-38429124179882532822011-05-03T14:10:41.760-04:002011-05-03T14:10:41.760-04:00Have a fantastic trip!

On the list are taking a day off once a month and ignoring chores, etc. to do something fun in town and me trying harder to go to bed when he does (not one more email, more like one more panel blog post or picture) for snuggling (not a euphemism, lol).Jennifer Vanderbeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776524959729835580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-28713498591333706102011-05-03T13:31:00.004-04:002011-05-03T13:31:00.004-04:00Awesome!

You just <i>know</i> that there is a suit out that that (1) fits, (2) hides what needs to be hidden, and (3) makes you look and feel sexy and confident. Oh, yeah. It also has to be able to stay on if you actually decide to get in the water! That's a lot to ask from less than a yard of spandex. <br /><br />Since I'm "extra blessed" on top, I can't even find a suit in a store any longer. I've had to resort to ordering one from England! I just hope that it gets here in time and fits!<br /><br />I hope that you and John enjoy your cruise.
