I asked my mom if she liked Tom Cruise and she said he was mighty fine haha.  A divine gift from God descended on earth like Adonis.  My favorite dream was once when I imagined he took of his shirt while standing at the foot of my bed lol.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think Tom Cruise is such a stud.

isPermaLink="false">http://johnheald.wordpress.com/?p=6522#comment-25562</guid> <description>Good Morning John,I just have to comment about Megan and preconceived &quot;notions&quot;.  In 1999 my wonderful Father in Law, for Christmas, paid a deposit for his kids and spouses to go on a family cruise.  I agreed but I wasn&#039;t excited about cruising.  I just &quot;knew&quot; we would be &quot;forced&quot; to have dinner with people we had nothing in common with.  Stay in a cabin you would need a shoe horn to get into and be crowded when out and about on the ship!!  So I went on this cruise &quot;kicking and screaming&quot;. :-(  Oh and yes I knew we would be stepping over passed out drunks all over the ship.  Yes I had heard about Carnival &quot;Party Ships&quot;.  Well let me tell you, we boarded the brand new Carnival Elation and my jaw dropped!  I was hooked from hello.  When we got to our cabin I was amazed at the room we had and the friendliness of the crew.  That was the best cruise and it is remembered with very fond memories.  Were there passed out drunks, nope, matter of fact in all our cruises with Carnival I don&#039;t think I can say I have seen anyone sloppy drunk or obnoxious to others.  So almost 10 years later and 10 cruises later I still get excited when booking, planning and cruising!  You will never guess that I am the biggest cruise junkie in the family but yes I am.  I love Carnival, the crews, the shows, the food and most of all it&#039;s a wonderful relaxing vacation where you meet and make friends with the most amazing people!!!Take care,Joan</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good Morning John,</p><p>I just have to comment about Megan and preconceived &#8220;notions&#8221;.

Playing catch up with the blogs again.... work.... work.... work and no play these days.  Feel like I need a cruise.  February can&#039;t come soon enough.It was good to finally hear from Heidi.  She is going to enjoy her well deserved time off to be a full time mum!  Heidi just make sure you do lots of things for yourself before the little Thingy comes along.  Pamper yourself.  And sleep late, when you can.  But most of all enjoy every moment once that little one arrives, they grow so quickly!I have really enjoyed Bubba Chris&#039; blogs.  Thank you so much Chris!  Can&#039;t wait to read more, and maybe when you and John go to the Waffle House you can write us about that too!John the pictures today were fabulous.  I especially enjoyed Turkey when we did the Med cruise.  The people are so friendly and it truley is a beautiful and historic country.  So, much to see.  And the food is wonderful!  Of course you have your own memories of Turkey..... and Fatima!Hugs!

Great pictures out of Turkey today and i can&#039;t believe how close that boat was to the ship.  It almost looks like its right on top of her.  Scary!
The pictures of QE from the Navy are so cool.  The fact that they get it &quot;out at sea&quot; is really unique.
Nice catching up with Bubba and it seems like he&#039;s having a nice time in Hawaii.
Thanks for another great blog and my best wishes on Thingy&#039;s progress.
Take care!
