Anybody Wanna Cruise?
Ok, so most of you know...well people who know me that are reading this, that Mike and I went on a "specialty" cruise for our honeymoon. We did the rockboat cruise. It was a ton of fun, a Carvival cruise ship, but instead of the typical vegas style entertainment, it was all musicians---rock music and lots of alcohol!!
So anyway, we are thinking about going on another one. RockBoat is sold out this year, but John Mayer is doing one in February. There are still cabins left and for 2 people they start at about 750 per person and then 99 per person for taxes and transportation and hotel on top of that. Pricey but fun.
So what I would think would be awesome is if some of our friends went too. How much fun would that be? It is a short cruise-3-4 nights. If we go this will be our first time leaving the kids overnight...extended no less...with family.
So check out the site and let me know what you think.
Martin Sexton is one of the performers too, never seen him live but have several of his albums and he is wonderful!

18 Pounds
Well I am officially at 18 pounds lost!
Here is my full body shot:
And here is the face:
I really don't see too much difference even though I know the weight is gone, and I've went down 2 sizes. I guess one day I will just look different or skinny out of nowhere.
So other happenings:
Dalton went back to preschool this week and is LOVING IT!
Guess that is all the real excitement.....
God I suck at this....
Here are some pictures to look at:
My attack cat abby who just adores the children
Our beer loving lady Nico who is aging gracefully
Last but not least our loveable goofball Mojo
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!

Today is Tuesday
Tuesday
The god Týr, identified with Mars, after whom Tuesday is named.
Tuesday is the second day of the week following Monday. The name comes from Middle English Twisday, from Old English Tiwes dæg, named after the Nordic god Tyr, who was the equivalent of the Roman war god Mars.
In Latin, it is called Martis dies which means "Mars Day". In Romance languages except Portuguese, the word for "Tuesday" is similar to the Latin name: mardi in French, martes in Spanish, martedì in Italian, and marţi in Romanian.
Portuguese uses numbers instead of pagan names and so their word for "Tuesday" is terça-feira.
The English and Scandinavian names are derived from the Nordic god Týr:
* Old English: Tiw, Tew, or Tiu
* Swedish: Tisdag
* Danish: Tirsdag
* Norwegian: Tirsdag or Tysdag
* Icelandic: Týsdagur
* Finnish: Tiistai (borrowed)
The German word Dienstag and the Dutch word Dinsdag seems to be derived from the god referred to by the Romans as Mars Thingsus, the god of the thing, which might also be Týr, or possibly some other Germanic god.
The Russian word for "Tuesday" is vtórnik, meaning "second"; that is, counting Tuesday as the second day of the week.
Quakers traditionally referred to Tuesday as "Third Day" eschewing the pagan origin of the English name "Tuesday".
In the Greek world, Tuesday (the day of the week of the Fall of Constantinople) is considered an unlucky day. The same is true in the Spanish-speaking world, where a proverb runs En martes, ni te cases ni te embarques (On Tuesday, neither get married nor begin a journey). For both Greeks and Spanish-speakers, the 13th of the month is considered unlucky if it falls on Tuesday, instead of Friday.
Tuesday is the usual day for elections in the United States. Federal elections take place on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November; this date was established by a law of 1845 for presidential elections (specifically for the selection of the Electoral College), and was extended to elections for the House of Representatives in 1875 and for the Senate in 1914. Tuesday was the earliest day of the week which was practical for polling in the early nineteenth century: citizens might have to travel for a whole day to cast their vote, and would not wish to leave on Sunday which was a day of worship for the great majority of them.
In business, particularly office work, studies have shown that Tuesday is usually the most productive day of the week.[1]
In Thailand, the color associated with Tuesday is pink, see [1]

In French, Tuesday is "Mardi", associating it with the planet Mars. Tuesday is also associated with the dwarf planet Pluto. This marries Tuesday with ideas of strife, battles to be won and pressing issues and jobs to get sorted. It is not a day to relax. This same meaning can be seen in the Spanish "Martes" and the English "Tuesday" ("Tyr's day.") In India, Tuesday is called "Mangalvar", for the Vedic planet Mangala or Mars.
