I am now the proud owner of five, count em, five frequent flier cards!!! Woo hoo! Watch those drink tickets roll in.... ahhhhhhh!

BOOP BOOOOOOOOP! The Jolea Train is leaving the station!!!

Once again I fly. I fly alot. I need to enroll in all the frequent flier programs. That's my homework for today! And on a great note, I got my paycheck stuff all sorted and everything has calmed down a great deal since I sent a very very overly nice letter to someone.... Anyway.... I will be rolling out of "Shattle" at 11:30 tomorrow morning and getting to DFW at 7:33pm! Seems like I just left! :) (cuz i did) AND.......... YALL WANNA HEAR SOME GOOD NEWS??? I have a phone interview tonight at 7pm!!! Tee hee hee!!! I love my life.... I guess it does pay to be a good person... and not a total douche bag. Good news for everyone... :) Can't wait till Justin gets home and I tell him the good news, the capt from this other yacht wants to interview both of us!!! :) I gotta stop talking about it! I don't wanna jinx it!!! :))))))

Jeffhenge.

Hmm?

In a whisky drinkin, Dropkick Murphy's jammin, slurrin, ipod blaring mood...

What a day.

The crew and I just got some bad news. Apparently our services are no longer needed. Yep. Just like that. Either I find a yacht here in Seattle, or I will be back home on Thursday. Damn. Hopefully I will get on one here. Whew.... Son of a bitch. I have had some shitty luck when it comes to jobs the past year. Should I just call it quits? Fuck.

Last night in Seattle!

The Supervillians played at a place called Studio Seven! The Supervillians are a band that played St. Thomas a lot when I lived there, and I had met a few of them before so I was excited to go, also, my friend George from St. Thomas just moved to Seattle and he was going!!! So I met up with him and his friend and we all ended up partying on the tour bus with the band till like 12:30am, too late on a school night, I know. But I was fine today and nobody even realized I was sleepy cuz i just kept myself busy. Good deal. Here is a video!!!

Since my life is a bit dull at the moment, Here are some candid shots from Jeff and Zach!

Never mind...

Not going out. My partner in crime feels like staying in tonight, so now I am making all the boys watch the movie The Notebook with me as punishment.... EVIL ROAR! (hi maria)

Bundle up!

Going out tonight! Its cold. I had to buy a coat with fur on it! I will post pics later! Everyone have a great Saturday! xo

Just a quick update on last night...

This has the possibility to end in disaster.... hahah!

His last name.... Jager....



My last name... Cruzan....




Oh my gosh.... how weird is this???

My cute brother in German/Italy/Sweden?

I have no idea, what language is that on his big cookie necklace???? Lol!

Update on Jeff and Zach!

They are in Venice! The city of rivers and sinking buildings... they are staying at a hostel. That's all I know!!! Things are good here! A bit boring during the week but I promise excitement this weekend, I found a new non-crew member boy to keep me company.... ;) He's totally cute... yessssssssssss..........

Quote of the Day!

"Quickly! Get to the choppah!!!" - Artur, our russian engineer.

We all about peed in our pants. Cuz he has zeez vonderful accent....

By the way...

I got dust in my eye today, and it totally hurts and I am trying to keep it shut. I took my contact out but damn it hurt this afternoon, which is no good because my crew mates are trying to make me wear an eye patch like a pirate which would be fine but i'm not wearing a pirate costume. Maybe if i had a patch like this I would wear it.

QUOTE OF THE NIGHT

"Are you saying that I have a planet for a head, and this is like an eclipse?"
- Justin

After Celine asked him to stand a little to the right to block the porch light from blinding us....

LOL!

P-otos you want? POTOS YOU GETS!!!

4 bottles of wine later..... The Mac computer (mine) comes in to play with the Photobooth program....
This is me and Justin and Celine! Enjoy... pee in your pants laughing... we almost did.

A lovely eveining in Seattle...

It's chilly, but nice. It's nice to leave the windows cracked at night and nestle down under the covers! The worst part about leaving the windows cracked: waking up in the morning and having to crawl out of the warm cocoon into the frozen tundra that is your room. Me and the crew are having a glass or 3 of red wine while we watch a movie. Things are going well with Celine, the new chief stew, she is getting along famously with everyone. Hope everyone is having a great week, it's halfway over now! Have a great Thursday and Friday!

Update on Jeff and Zach!

They were in France last I heard, on their way to Germany for OKTOBERFEST!!! I am so proud... :) I will post pics when I get them! For now here is a pic of what I imagine they are doing...

Such a nice note.

I just got an email from my Captain in St. Thomas, Jeff. He and his wife Phebe were great to me in St. Thomas and Jeff was kind enough to give me a shining recommendation when my current Captain called him before she hired me here on So Taj. I am doing well here and I hope they are well and happy too!

Here is the little part of the email that brought a tear to my eye:

"I am happy for you and know you will be a great crew member for your cap and owners. I am wondering if I could be effective, or productive doing that as you are. Be safe and happy as I know you are on the water. I admire you alot. Jeff "

That really made me happy and I wanted to share.

I am really excited about my new job, looking forward to payday on tuesday... paying off loans...getting my shit together in other words.

In the pic, the totally taken apart dining salon... whew.

Hope you all had a nice tuesday!

What's a "freeze watch"?

Oh no, it's coming... The cold. Some guy on the news just said the "snow line" is lower than they have seen in a long time and we are under a "freeze watch". We always leave the balcony door open with the screen shut because it's been cool out and our apt is really warm, but this morning I thought I was gonna freeze to death when I came into the living room! It got COLD last night!!! Still looks like "Seattle" outside. Cloudy and misty. As much as I bitch about the cold, I have to admit, it was really nice not sweating my ass off while walking around shopping in downtown yesterday. It felt really great. I feel like I have been sweating my ass off for 2 years! I am here at the apartment again today, finishing up the crew towels and duvets and shams... IT'S A SHAM, ALL A SHAM I TELL YOU!!! haha. Now I am getting ready to give the apt a nice deep cleaning because we are getting our new crew member today. Not sure what time she gets here so I better get crackin! Yall have a nice monday!!!
