Ship Life

Ben in the Captain's chair.

Priority drive!
Our reflection in the elevator doors.  There was never once a fingerprint on the doors.  They probably have someone dedicated to keeping them clean.
If you look carefully at the middle right hand side, it says, "Steering Mode Unknown".  Also, course change not acknowledged?  Hm.

Food

Yum yum.  You probably already noticed, but yes, that is 24 karat gold on that meat on the right.  For reals yo.

Ship Shape

These are very late, but here are some photos of the cruise.  It was unbelievable.  Talk about luxury.  I was going to post more, but Blogger has been snarky to me.  I might try to get them up later. 

Melbourne

We love love love Melbourne.  We did some shopping, sightseeing, and met up with one of Ben's colleagues and her boyfriend for dinner and drinks.   That first shot is the one I am going to send in to America's Next Top Model.  

Holy Hot Peppers!

We have a habanero!  A while ago, Ben put a couple habaneros in the ground.  Lo and behold, we have a healthy plant, with one ripe pepper, and a bunch of burgeoning ones.  Also, the pumpkin plant is going absolutely crazy.  There are at least ten blooms, and many more on the way.  Anyone up for a pumpkin-carving party come October? 

There are some technical difficulties with the camera these days, but as soon as that clears up I will post some photos.  

As of late, my one true love is embroidery.  I am almost done with my third project, and can't wait to start the next one.  I expect there will be some handmade gifts making the rounds this Christmas. 

BTW, Ben and I are going on a cruise with Ben's dad next week.  Hot dog.  There will be tons of photos from that trip, hopefully one of Ben in a tux!

Bye for now.

The Thing About Australia Is...

...sometimes you see someone walking around at the shops with a bird on their shoulder.  Not as in, "Look at me, I've got a bird on my shoulder, give me a dollar to take my picture".  As in, "Hmmm, I need to pop over to Woolie's to get some milk, I think I'll bring Gizzo with me".  It's cute.

On an unrelated note: 

Personal Ass.

My dad was kind enough to hire a personal ass. for me while I am working for him.  She will be happy to assist you if you need to make an appointment with me.  She also guards my desk from any intruders.
