I agree. Prednisone sucks. I remember when I hadn't been at the O for very long and had to take it for my sinuses and I got in here and started typing all randomly...more so than usual. I sleep horribly, and have the strangest dreams. Blah!! Plus my skin always feels tingly when I take it. But, holy moly it made me feel better when I had strep throat. Almost instantly. It works wonders, but yeah...can never wait to finish it up.
So, living vicariously through me, huh? I'm good with that. I wish I could package up some sunshine while I was there and send it to you guys. So, I have been planning something very specific over the past couple of days and I am sooooooooo excited about it. Check it out:

My MIL has never been on a sailboat and is so excited. A couple of people have no interest, but as of right now we have 12 people in our group going. I don't know why you wouldn't be interested in hanging out on a boat and snorkeling. It is awesome. I can't wait. Ethan is so excited too. We have startetd referring to the cruise as "Going to visit London" as in London Tipton from The Suite Life on Deck for those of you familiar with Disney channel shows. Addie wants to go. I promised her I would take her on a special trip, just her, after we got back sometime. I'll have to come up with something.
So, let me share my HUGE annoyance with you guys. I want to strangle my BIL and his fiancee. We got their save the date card in the mail yesterday. I am so frustrated because they have put us and Derek's brother in a horrible situation. So, they are getting married in Jamaica at the timeshare they go to every year (another annoyance. He has never come out here, from Cincinatti to see his niece and nephew or invited anybody to join them). And the only people invited to their wedding are their parents. We think so that nobody can contest the wedding. Then they decided to have their reception over 4th of July weekend. They picked this weekend so that people would have a long weekend to come...but both of his brothers will have to buy airfare and it is the most expensive time in the summer. I checked last night and for us the tickets are about $450 and for Derek's older brother they are over $900 because he lives in Alaska. They have no regard whatsoever for anybody but themselves and it puts us in a horrible position. Derek's older brother lives in a town called Girdwood, AK and they have a huge festival that weekend and him and his non-wife wife were planning on having a food booth which would make them a ton of money. They only work in the summertime generally so having a way to make a huge chunk of cash would be awesome for them. So it puts us in this horrible position. Do we go broke trying to get there for this event that we don't agree with when they had no consideration whatsoever for their family or do we say...screw you guys! Then I feel bad if we find a way for Derek to go when I know his brother won't be able to go. It just sucks. And NOBODY will say anything to the younger brother. Not to mention he doesn't even call. They didn't even send a Christmas card. I don't care about presents but at least a card for your neice and nephew. The whole thing makes me so unbelievably angry. I cannot imagine being that selfish. I think I am going to be writing something up to send them. Anyway, that just has me so frustrated. I won't go. I know I can't behave myself.
Well, I need to do some cruise planning to de-irritate myself. I will also come back in a little bit to do some personals. I'll be on a cruise ship in exactly 1 month. Sunshine here I come. Wow!! It is getting close. This weekend we are packing to see what we need and we are waiting for Ethan's passport that should be here any day. The check has cleared so it is processing.
