Happy Monday <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' />   Whoo&#33;  there&#39;s alot going on here&#33;  Still haven&#39;t caught up on all my reading.  Last week was little chaotic without the boss but not too bad.  Michael was on call last week.  He got 29 hours of over time, 6 hours of double time and his regular 40.  To say the least, we didn&#39;t see much of him.  He&#39;s taking me out to dinner tonight for Mothers Day.  My kids tried to make me breakfast yesterday.  Nothing like runny scambled eggs and cold toast, (best breakfast I&#39;ve ever had).  <br />
<br />
Well, we have all of the plants for the veggie garden finally.  Michael has to build one last container though.  I picked up some lettuce plants this weekend and have no place to plant them.  First time for lettuce.  Have no idea what I&#39;m doing.  The only thing I knew was that it was too late to plant seeds for them.  Got lucky finding the plants&#33;  <br />

Zebra:  A &quot;designer&quot; is a nice way of saying &quot;Mut&quot;.  Out designer is part dalmation and part retriever.  His mother was the dalmation and was our Shatzie (sweetheart).  We had her from the time she was 8 weeks old.  We lost her this past September.  You couldn&#39;t seperate them.  We got the dachsund last March because we were pretty sure that Shatzie wasn&#39;t going to be around for very longer and we were afraid Porthos (designer) would die from anxiety.  Someone forgot to tell me that dachsunds can put a beaver to shame when it comes to chewing&#33;  She&#39;s pretty cute though.  She almost has daddy wrapped around her paw.  <br />

Hey Iron Tom Flint&#33;  Be Ye a Pirate?  Some of your cruises look like fun&#33;  May have to get info on them and run them past me crew.<br />
<br />
I.R.S. ..... I&#39;m not going there&#33;  No.  Never had any problems with them and don&#39;t intend to either&#33;<br />

Michael is a diabetic.  Doc changed the medication that he takes at night.  Caused him to gain a lot a weight that he can&#39;t get rid of.  He has to make a new appointment for his six month.  I don&#39;t know about the rest of you, but once your diagnosed here in MD, the MVA follows you like a blue tick hound. <br />
<br />
Put a message up on my class reunion board last week.  Suggested we do a cruise.  I&#39;ll have to see what happens.<br />
<br />
Still trying to come up with something really good for PK for his birthday on board ship.  Threatened him with a video pictorial of him to be played at the teen party that night. (hmmmmm I wonder......).  Nah...that would be cruel.<br />
<br />
Well,  I should probably get back to work.  See ya all later&#33;&#33;&#33;
