« Previous EntriesWhy I Tend Not to Discuss Politics…
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008So this morning I’m hanging out with a new friend of mine with whom I’d had a discussion of politics over a cup of coffee last week. I have no issue with debating ideas or having an intelligent discussion about politics so long as it’s respectful and stems from a desire to understand another person’s [...]

A Mere Coincidence
Monday, September 29th, 2008One of the blogs I read on a regular basis is Notes from an Eclectic Mind. Rana, the illustrious host of said blog, always has something interesting to put forth be it about her role as caregiver, the many miles she’s put in on her bike(s) or her experiments with all things tech.
So…when I first [...]
Oh The Asininity…
Friday, September 26th, 2008I’m interrupting my Friday evening of reading (for school, not pleasure, so Ha! to all of those who, knowing me so well, figured on catching me doing anything except for what I’m supposed to be doing… ;-)) to simply say that this not only infuriates me to the point of seeing nothing but red, but [...]
Gettin’ All Dolled Up
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008Okay ~ so when I said I didn’t participate much in the activities aboard the Queen Mary 2, that was a correct statement. But I did managed to make it out of my cabin long enough to attend the cocktail party with the Commodore and Senior Crew.
This little shin-dig was, as I found out, by [...]

Interview With Author Beth Trissel
Monday, September 22nd, 2008There is nothing better than curling up in one’s comfy clothes, a cup of hot chocolate, and a romance novel on a cool autumn day.
After all the chaos of traveling to Scotland and getting settled in, today was the perfect day to sit back, relax and just indulge myself. It didn’t happen quite like that, [...]
Culinary Treats
Saturday, September 20th, 2008Even though there was plenty to do aboard the Queen Mary 2, I didn’t do any of it. Not even dining in the Britannia Restaurant which is where my cabin dictated I eat. Initially, I was just concerned about motion sickness (add to that an already-existing phobia I affectionately refer to as “pukephobia” [officially called [...]
First Impressions…
Thursday, September 18th, 2008I have to interrupt the regularly scheduled QM2 updates to tell you about my first day of class yesterday.
See, I live inside my head a lot - and will giggle at things that pass through unannounced despite the fact that I usually end up explaining why I’m giggling which tends to make other people look [...]
Days At Sea
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008One of the things I discovered aboard the QM2 over the 5 full days at sea is that, as beautiful as the Atlantic Ocean is, and as stunningly opulent as the QM2 is, there are really so many pictures one can take of each. Frankly, the ocean looks the same (unless it was storming, I’d [...]
