« "Screw it, I'm going on a cruise": Day 1 | Main | Still cruisin' along »

I needed that

I am so glad I decided to go on that cruise. For awhile I questioned if it was such a great idea - the money, the timing - but it was fun and relaxing and just what I needed. It's hard to be back because I'm still facing everything I left here. On the cruise I could sort of ignore everything, but back here it's all still very real. However, I'm trying not to focus on the bad stuff.

I've only managed to upload a small percentage of the photos I took last week, but I'll get the rest up soon. And I'll tell you little about what a great few days it was too. Picture this: me in a private cabana by the ocean with a good book and a free strawberry daquiri. For hours. What could be lovelier?

More to come, but for now I'll leave you with this photo of me in a porthole. Because when you're on a cruise ship you kind of have to take a shot like this right?

You look so pretty. I'm so glad you had a good time and were able to get away and have some time for yourself.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
My boyfriend broke up with me last night and I've been trying to channel your strength. I think I need a getaway.

You look so pretty! And I know I don't know you and all, but you totally can tell you have lost weight since the last pic you posted. See, depression weight-loss can be a good thing! ;-)

I'm glad you had fun.
