DONE AND DONE

Well I am almost done and done.  I left the printing of the documents needed to board the ship til yesterday.  I truly despise printing.  I am not a particularly patient person and as such equipment that doesn't perform irks the hell out of me.  As I have mentioned before vacuum cleaners learn to fly in my house as I fire them out the back door.  And printers.  I remember in the last house I was trying to print something.  The printer was on the floor under the desk.  It wouldn't work no matter what I did.  Well, in a fit of very childish anger I used my foot to get that sucker out from its little spot and proceeded to boot it across the house to the back door, scooped it up and pitched out into the backyard so far it hit the side of the garage.  In front of the kids.  Not good, because I think I learned this from my mom.

I distinctly remember back when I was about five she had an old pump pedal sewing machine.  That thing caused more angst for my poor mother, who was not much more patient than me with all things stupid.  I remember that machine had vibrated to the edge of the card table she always used to sew on, it had started to tip over the edge, and bless her heart, she just stepped back and let 'er drop.  Hahaha...it smashed into pieces on the floor with an incredibly satisfying smash!  And I don't know why I am even talking about this because yesterday the printer worked swimmingly well...it was Princess's website that was down.

I managed to get MY stuff printed but when I went to do Bill's it wouldn't print and then a message popped up to say that their site was down.  And its still down this morning.  So...this might mean I am going on this trip alone.  Hmmmmm....not sure if that would be a good adventure or a missing Bill trip!

Now I must get my butt out of this bed and do the final things always needing doing.  I don't think we are going to go down too early.  If you get there too early the rooms aren't ready.  They send you to the Lido where the buffet is and I really don't want to start the trip at the food trough!  I want to go up to the very tip top near where they blow the horn (which almost flattens you its so loud) and take another bunch of useless pictures of us floating under the Lion's Gate Bridge.  I think I am coming to the end of my picture taking.  When you get up to quadruples of the same thing its time to quit!  But...in the meantime I will try to find the weird and wonderful to post on facebook.  I am NOT GOING to take one picture of ice this time.  I have enough.  Or at least I am going to try not to.  Only if it is really spectacular and different.  TTYL  (these are to remind me that I have ENOUGH!!)
