We are getting ready to leave for an eight day cruise this Friday. I can’t wait! It’s our second cruise but this time we’re going with two other couples who are our own age. I imagine it will be a bit different from hanging out with an older age bracket like we did on the first cruise.

I thought I was going to get my nails redone this Friday but I’ve had acrylics for nearly a month now and they were driving me bat shit crazy. So I spent most of this morning soaking them and taking them off. I’m just going to get a pedicure – my first, mind you. I’ve never gotten one because I hate feet. I don’t like people looking at or touching my feet so I usually do my own. This Friday I have decided to go ahead and get it done anyway. I think the whole reason I have a problem with people touching my feet is because when I was really little my mom would have to cut my nails and it seemed like she always went into the quick. It hurt like hell.

I’ve been cleaning the house in preparation for the trip. I can’t stand coming home to a mess. At least my sister is here to watch the animals and take care of things. It gives me peace of mind to know she’ll be here.

I’ve been working out mostly every day I’m off work since the beginning of January. I’ve really seen some improvement, but I’m nowhere near where I’d like to be. It won’t stop here though. I have my ten year highschool reunion coming up after the cruise and I want to look my best. I finally had to decide that working out at the gym is going to be a lifestyle change, but it helps to keep things in perspective when I give myself little goals.
