So Jesus’ birthday is almost here! I’ve been swamped and stressed with work for the past month. I’m actually working three jobs right now. I’ll make another post about all those in the future, though a full-time job is looking good for the Fall of 2015 on. Fingers crossed! Right now as the holidays approach I’m in grading hell for my teaching gig. Ack! This is the first time I will not be getting my grades in before Xmas. I have till Jan 5th, and I will be close to that due date this year.

I’m in Virginia as usual this time of year. I’m typing this before sleeping pills kick in and I go to bed, as I have to get up early tomorrow to drive back to New Jersey to pick up John and bring him back down to Virginia. Six hours in the car with Christmas music on the radio, I’m hoping for minimal Mariah Carrey. I’ll try and do a follow up post with decoration photos soon, but as usual you can always hop over to my Instagram.

I just realized today that our cruise is fast approaching. We leave earlier than normal this year, right after the New Year. I hope the boat is still decorated for Christmas. We are going on Royal Caribbean’s newest ship Quantum of the Seas. I’m so excited! Again make you you check into my Instagram often. This is the first “smart ship” Royal has put out, so you know I’ll take advantage of that to post as many photos as I can.

Anyways, as I’ve not gone back Facebook still, I can’t torture my friends with Henrietta and Myra Neudorf this holiday season. Therefore I shall torture my blog readers. Go tell it!
