Socializing and growing

[trystinn]

Saturday evening hubby (in absentia) and I were invited by four friends to go on a cruise with them in June 2012. Every year, this group goes on Disney cruises. I'm not much for Disney, but Josh has always wanted to go on a Disney cruise and this one is going to Alaska, something I've always wanted to do.

So while, granted, Disney isn't my thing and cruises may not be either, the opportunity to go on a last big trip with all of them before we move is really too good of an offer to pass up. Yes, its a silly idea and the more I hear about the whole Disney cruise cult the sillier it seems. But maybe something silly is exactly the sort of thing I need to consider doing more of.

Apparently, there's this tradition of decorating your stateroom door with crazy decor so you can find your room easier. And its a huge deal. Buy a Cricut kind of huge deal, which fortunately Renee' owns. So the ladies had me over this morning to discuss and make arrangements. Together, they'd come up with the perfect theme for my door - Rebel on a Cruise. So my door will feature MARVIN!



I can't really explain why, but I've always adored Marvin the Martian. Alien in a kilt, what's not to like? I even have a Marvin the Martian riding a Love Rocket hanging on my rearview mirror. So while they are going Mickey Mouse and Disney Princess, I will instead have a Looney Tunes door featuring a galactic scene with Marvin the Martian.

This may not be Positive Movement in the traditional sense, but I'm thinking it might just work.

In fairness, it's not a kilt as such...Being he's a Martian, they went with a (Roman) Mars theme, and thus his Spartan-esque helmet and skirt is in a Graeco-Roman armor style.

But anyway, it sounds like a plan! ;)

I've always wanted to go on a cruise, well at least for the last few years anyway...which is sort of odd, because I think many aspects of them might be rather horrific in certain respects. But, I'm always up for a challenge!

I knew about the God Mars theme, but I dunno what those uniform "skirts" are called, so I went with kilt. :)

I'm gonna have to talk this over with hubby (somehow). While I adore the idea of blogging the cruise for everyone's enjoyment, this could actually be a hell of a lot of fun. Especially since I've learned they have adult-only parts of the ship. I'm still bringing ear plugs, though.

My power animal is a cranky Martian with bad luck. ;)
