Diary of a SubUrban Housewife

Where to Begin.....

Much to report here, and alas, I've been more than slacking with the updates.

1. Got mad at my hairdresser and decided to switch, for probably one of the most important haircuts I've had in a long time. You see, we're going on a cruise and a destination wedding, and now I have bad hair. I cried about it this morning.

2. Yeah, we're going on a cruise. And to a destination wedding.

Here's the short version:

My friend Jill was Vicki (Capt. Stubing's daughter) on the Love Boat. The Love Boat was a Princess ship. Jill is getting married. Princess Cruises is "throwing" her wedding (in exchange for promotional considerations, I'm sure), on the maiden voyage of the Caribbean Princess.

As wedding guests we got offered a fabulous deal on a 7 day cruise. The deal was so great we couldn't pass it up. So, we arrive in Ft. Lauderdale Thursday, April 1 for the rehersal dinner. Friday, the 2nd is the wedding, which is apparently at sea cuz our paperwork said something about "night at sea". The regular guests board the ship (I have to remember not to call it a boat anymore) on Saturday, and we said. For the gorey details, follow Chuck's link.

Several of my friends are going, along with their kids. It's going to be a fabulous time.

I know I had a much more eloquent post in my head about all of this but frankly, this is what you're getting.

oh, and

3. Here's the freakest part....

Friday night Chuck and I were at our regular sushi bar, having our usual Friday night sushi dinner. We were at the corner of the bar. I overheard a woman two seats away telling her girlfriend about this cruise she was going on. I further overheard her mention some names (OK, drop some names) of people I know are friends of the bride. So I tell Chuck. He listens and agrees.

As I pass the woman's chair on the way to the restroom I stop and say, "You're going to Jill's wedding." Much high-pitched screaming ensued (in that total girl kinda way).

Total coincidence and life lesson: be careful what you say and where you say it because you never know who is sitting right next to you.

OK, one of my worst entries ever is now coming to a close. There may be posts from the high seas, but I wouldn't count on it. If not, we'll be back April 10th.
