Things one does when no one watches

We all do things when no one is watching and WE all know michael loves doing things while no one is watching.......he does this beyonce booty dance.....interesting.

hypothically

So the question is who has more suspicious behavior?

After our return from NYC michael kept stating things like" what kind of wife goes to a party and has shots with other guys, if that was me you would be upset" I said that would be untrue and than he would be like "okay...okay you said it next time I will have shots with girls and you better not be mad." The premise of my incident was it was michelle's b-day and I had shots with her group of Asian male friends.

Michael's suspicious behavior was last thursday, he gchats me at work and said something like on my co-workers are going out around 5: 30 do you wanna go, I was unsure and leaning toward not going at that time. Than we got home and he was like I dunno if I will go anyways, and we started to do our weekly clean(required by michael) After I was finished I was pretty tired and michael immediately jumps into the shower, he comes out and was like okay I think i will go and meet them (he was already dressed and ready to go), than I was like what do you mean you said you were not thinking about going, than he was like well if you want to go, hurry up. I was caught completely off guard and unprepared, but in the end I went. ..probably exactly the opposite of what he wants

So.....?

The NYC

The NYC, another trip down the drain. This trip was jam packed with things to do from eating, conan, yankee's games, and Michelle's b-day party two weeks late!

Cruise Pictures

Return from the Cruise

Michael and I are back from Carnival Valor!! It was awesome and we got some sweet tans!

Anyways, before the pictures come let me recap the trip.

I learned to play craps and gambled every night--overall was up $30 from all my gambling
Michael loss $2o in slots after one turn the second night and never played again

My average sleep time was 2: 30am
Michael's average sleep time was 11:30am

I read one book on the trip
Michael read three, reread one and bought one while he was on the trip

I danced 4 nights of the 7 nights
Michael danced one night

Apparently....

Michael is loved by all and when he comes out to hang everyone was surprised and thought he was hilarious
I go out most of the nights and no one is too excited and it is simply another night--go figure

Warning: This may deter one from going on a cruise ever--

After I returned I wanted to see the day in the life a cruise worker or so they call seaman. After much research I have come to find that I was apart of some serious exploitation and probably have witnessed and was not aware.

Most ships fly under a different flag instead of the US to escape from having to follow the rules and regulations of work conditions/crime on the ship, the least strict of the countries to fly under are Liberia, Bahamas, and Panama (carnival valor flew under a panama flag). Further seaman often have to work 10-12 hours day 7 day a week at minimal wages --average $430 month on 10 month contracts, to prevent seaman from quiting cruises would keep their passports and part of their wages until their time is up, if they quit then they lose out on their wages and would have to fly themselves back to their own countries. Different articles I read have referred to cruises as having indentured servants or sweatships.

Also cruises are one of the greatest polluters of the water, because it is more costly to pay for proper disposal than to pay the fine if they were caught.

Knowledge is power--however ignorance is bliss--I cannot knowingly go on another cruise after my research. I am scared to further research the following topics....how the animals are treated that we eat and working conditions for all inclusive workers.

Say Good Bye

It is official Michael's mustache has announced its retirement this sat. Apparently if you go on a cruise and get a tan you may get a mustache tan line and no one wants that. Say good-bye! Throw a party! Tell people you know michael again! I am not going to lie the one way a man can get as much attention as women when they are pregnant is by having a mustache, the truth is I fear this may not be the last, as michael...loved all the attention.

Why have kids when you can enjoy others'

What?

I walked outside from work and there it was the end of march and it was snowing in Chicago....SUCKS!

As I moped about this I saw the family from the TLC show Little People Big World standing in front of the sears tower. AWESOME!!

Western Carribean

Western Caribbean here we come! So on a spur we decided to join michelle and her friends to a Caribbean cruise, which will stop at cozumel, roatan, belize, and grand caymans. I won't lie I needed a break from work and basically was begging michael to let us go. It took two days of researching and proving to him that it will not cost that much, when he finally said, "maybe" and with that the trip was set. But all this is coming back and biting me in my ass.....now all I hear is

"you think we are made out of money"

"you make decisions unilaterally without me"

" we don't have money"

"look at all the money you are spending"

I realized now the minute I wanted to go on the cruise it was a lose lose situation for me, because either I would have been stuck at work and moping about how it would have been, or I will be on a cruise worried that my husband will hate it and than rant the rest of my life about what a horrible mistake I made. Right now staying at work sounds kinda better. Such as life.

Teeth Grinder

So apparently I am a teeth grinder and I need a night mouth guard....great
Michael has to bond 5 teeth, $30 each with a $50 co-pay, otherwise he may need root canals in the long run...great
Michael said that he should get his stuff done first and that I do not need a mouth guard ($450) and should just buy a sport mouth guard ($15).....the decisions...


Secondly I will not watch the second season of A shot of love due to the following info http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/tila-tequila-and-bobby-banhart-break-up-mtv-renews-a-shot-at-love-6327.php

Utah

We are back from Utah and it was awesome! It was great meeting new people, realizing how out of shape I was, and enjoying the awesome view.

It was a 15 person trip cramped into a 11 person condo and 6 person hot tub. Like I said it was good times. I invented the new game--Texas holdem all you can drink (it is awesome).

The good times:
Michelle running into me with her board--my neck hurts
Michael getting all kinds of attentions for the mustache
The constant drinking and card playing
The awesome view
the 10 person hot tub experience

Some good lines we came up with:
Michael: bros before hos
Michelle: chicks before dicks
May: Blocks before cocks

Oh the Snow board Days

We will be going to Utah soon. Before on my old computer I could not post videos. So as I was thinking about snowboarding I remember I had a video of michelle attempting her first jump. Now the best way to watch this video is to pause it and slowly watch michelle get about 5 feet off the ground and essentially become parallel to the ground.

Thanks for All coming out!

There is no shame in the game

Happy birthday to myself!

What I actually did on my birthday:

I got a balloon at work that said happy birthday

I got home and went to dominicks with michael--there I picked out my own piece of cake which I only ate because Michael did not want one.

I got home and made nuggets and pizza in the oven.

As we ate dinner Michael wished me Happy Birthday.





......He also bought me an waterpack thing for snowboarding. 39.99 tag on there wrapped in newspaper--AWESOME!

Just another day in the city

So michael and I recently started to take the bus to work and there is about three blocks we have to walk. We have been doing this for about two weeks, usually I lead the way. The other day michael was walking ahead of me and there was two options to walk, after two weeks of going the same way, he heads the one way that would be wrong.


Early November michael goes with my dad to lucky wok to pick up food for a party my parents were having. From my house all you have to do is take yackley to get there, although michael worked at lucky wok for three years in high school, instead of taking yackley he takes my dad all the way to his mom's house and from there goes to lucky wok. On the way back my dad only said one word "yackley"
