Okay, so I just HAD to use this title!

I am leaving - hasta la vista, baby! My husband and I are taking a really long cruise, but it's okay to tell because we'll have a house full of people while we're gone. We have been invited to go on this cruise with a group of people and my momma.

We leave Wednesday and don't get back until the 28th of October..... that's like 18 days, and I've never been away for that long. So naturally I have this list of things to do before I leave.

1. Write Halloween Blog

2. Do Market Stat Reports for Oct contest

3. Office Calendar for November

4. Write elevator speech

Well, you get the idea. I can tell you that so far, at least two of these will not get accomplished. Why, you ask? Because we've had walk-ins into the office, we've had new Realtors join our company and I've been up to my eyeballs just with interruptions and the list of excuses goes on! (And really, I haven't even started to pack yet!)

But it reminds me that we all have those things we just mean to do that never get accomplished. Why? Because we let others and stuff mess up our schedules. Maybe you all don't have deadlines like I do right now, and yet we procrastinate and don't stand firm to get our own goals accomplished.

So, while I'm away, I hope you guys will take this reminder to heart and stick to your guns! And while you're at it, you can miss me a little, if you want. I know you'll be waiting with baited breath for my return! LOL

Yvonne: Apparently I haven't 'let go'. I left my keys in the door after I unlocked it and couldn't find them for like 1/2 an hour. And then I put my wedding rings 'in a safe place', and you know how that goes, they're in the bedroom SOMEWHERE! But it'll all settle down once we get on the plane.

Linda where are you going? Cruises are such fun!

Kerrie: Fly to Fort Lauderdale, Columbia, Panama, Panama Canal, Gutaemala, Costa Rica, Puerto Vallarta Mex, Cabo and then end up back in San Diego. That'a a LONG time to be on a ship... hopefully my ADD husband will find enough things to do to keep him from jumping saround too much! LOL Have a great October, Kerrie!

You're going to have a blast!!! I did a 12 day cruise around the Mediterranean this summer and the boat is so big you forget you're on one. Enjoy! Take tons of pics and be sure to share them with us.

Andrea, no that I have packed I'm excited. I'm trying to get my husband to take his 'good' camera, but anyway we will have lots of pics to share when we get back.

Don, I'm already trying to figure out how to blog and such while I'm gone... of course I will miss everyone here!

Well, bon voyage and remember to take along a bottle of champagne to whack against the bow of the ship. Oh, wait, I guess that's only if you're christening it or it's a maiden voyage or something.

Monday is my Happiness Day.
I visit as many blog posts as I can during the day
and spread happiness, which means I probably didn’t read this post.
I just stopped by to spread some happiness.
Feel free to delete this comment if it doesn’t make you happy.

Happy Monday!
