Got My Flippy Floppys

I know we're in a recession, but I'm not going to let that stop me from taking a vacation! I booked a fantastic cruise last week with my two roommates. We will be taking a 12-day Mediterranean cruise on Holland America on July 30! So exciting!!! Our Ports of Call are: Venice, Italy; Dubrovnik, Croatia; Corfu, Greece; Argostoli, Cephalonia, Greece; Santorini, Greece; Catania, Italy; Naples, Italy; Civitavecchia (Rome); Livorno (Florence) Italy; Barcelona, Spain. I've been wanting to see more of Europe, and my grandmother (an avid traveller and former travel agent) has suggested a cruise as a great way to see a lot in a short time. Plus, for someone like me who is a bit picky when it comes to eating, I can always get back on the ship and eat to my heart's content! I am so excited!!!

Next week I've got the Royal Family 5K, so I am really hoping to run most of it. I've worked my way up to running for 26 minutes straight, so I've got to be about there. I'm doing my training outside instead of at the gym so I'm used to all the outdoor elements. Granted, I'm still paying for the friggin' gym that I only get to once or twice a week, but I'm not ready to let go of it yet.

Work is work... they are starting Involuntary Separation Packages in the next few weeks, so everyone is on edge since nobody really knows how they make the decisions on who will be cut. It's kinda scary to think I could be unemployed in a month, but if it happens to me, that's my sign that it's time to find a new path. It's not like I want to be a disney manager for the rest of my life anyway. So we'll see...hopefully I don't get cut so I can pay for my cruise!
