Hello out there in crazy land....<br /><br />Never got the rental car returned yesterday...the local Daly City Hertz is closed on Sunday...didn&#39;t even notice that on the rental agreement until Shawn and I stopped to fill the car with gas.  So, since we were out and about, we stopped at our favorite little Vietnamese place for pho....nice to get a tummy warming big bowl of soup for only &#036;8.  You can see that food is a major part of my life.<br /><br />That scoundrel, Joey, is about ready to board the Monarch.  I am so jealous.  I noticed that there is a sale on the junior suites for only &#036;279 on the weekend Feb 29 sailing....to be booked on Jan 15th...now will I have to get up at 4AM to book that???  I&#39;m already going Feb 4....don&#39;t know if I can actually do both...but I am at a conference in San Luis Obispo Tue, Wed and Thu of that week and I could leave early Fri and go&#33;&#33;&#33;  <br /><br />Lovelypenny, I feel for you...your ex sounds kind of hurtful.  I&#39;ve always remained very good friends with the father of my oldest....he has a wonderful wife - I always call her Shawn&#39;s &quot;other mother&quot; and they&#39;ve now been married twenty years.  One of my nicest cruises was with all three of my boys and his dad and Lois over Christmas on the Monarch several years ago.<br /><br />Love in Las Vegas....sounds like a nice Valentine&#39;s day.<br /><br />Off to accomplish something today...like make my physical therapy appontment.<br /><br />xxxooo
