Anyway, I'm in the crew mess alone... everyone has gone to bed but me... I'm in WORK! mode... I've been ironing everything I can get my hands on. Even asked the guys if there was anything they needed me to iron for them. I managed to convince Chris that I would NOT ruin his new expensive clothes by A) putting them in the dryer, and B) pressing them with a steam iron. He was pleasantly surprised when I brought his linen shirt back without burnt stains on it. Silly boys.
I think the storm from yesterday has blown over... I steered a safe distance from Mark this morning just to make sure... This evening I was able to ask him how long we would be underway (3 hours) without a scowl or anything. He really is a nice guy... he was just frustrated yesterday.
OH! I was TOTALLY snubbed at the nail salon today! I showed up for my 2 o'clock appointment at 1:45 thinking it was polite to show up early, right? The receptionist asked me to come back in fifteen minutes. Thinking that was rude and WANTING to tell her that she'd be lucky if I came back at all, I walked across the street to some stores. I arrived ten minutes later and was completely IGNORED! The receptionist left and three employees walked by me without so much as a smile or eye contact... Was I a frikkin GHOST? I waited around until 2:15 and when nobody even asked me what I was doing there, I got up and left... so I have nappy toes and mangy eyebrows, but that snooty salon will NOT have MY money! OH! And to top it all off, I had to listen to these two daddy's girls gossip about EVERYONE they know about... "Oh my god! I heard she was addicted to CRACK!" "But, she's SO nice!" "I know! And I was like, why in the WORLD is she being such a bitch to me! I'm living my dream here!" One thing I've always been taught AND learned about people is that if they gossip TO you, they'll gossip ABOUT you. Keep your mouth SHUT...
Anyway, we are heading to Norwich, Connecticut tomorrow... apparently there are some casinos nearby that the Mr. and Mrs. want to hit... funny, they got rich by hold ON to their money, and now they want to blow it playing slots and black jack? Oh whatever... I've never gambled before, but I think I'd become addicted to it... If I can become addicted to craigslist and myspace... and BLOGGER! then I can DEFINITELY get hooked on gambling. If I HAVE to go to the casinos, I'll bring $20 and once that's gone... I'M GONE. :-)
OH YEAH! Another colony of jellyfish floated by our boat tonight. I leaned over so far to see them that I almost fell into the water WITH them. Wouldn't THAT have been interesting? Anyway, one of them was swimming around -- doing that mushroom dancey thing that looks so cool... and as they passed in front of the light, their veins glowed red, green, and purple.
What else? Nothing that interesting... I pulled some rock hard mashed potatoes out of the crew fridge today... someone left them on the top shelf next to the freezer... so THEY froze. Ummmm... both of our vacuums are broken... I woke up with a sore throat today and post nasal drip and a stomach ache... I've become a hanger thief because I'm always out of them in the laundry room... I was excited to get my FIRST project! Napkin inventory! Ugh, THIS is the life of a stew, my friends...
