They were ok, TBH.

also I stayed up WAY too late with comedy and shows and general just hanging around.

i don’t think I’m making breakfast tommorow after coming in on a redeye; just going to take it easy.

i drank a “kiss on the lips” to try it.JFC it’s literally pure sugar haha.

so I’ve got a ton of calories to work off..but my Fitbit said I burned 3500; so that’s a good start!

[KarmaCruisers]

“Pad Thai” from Street Eats..definitely not what I had on the celebration..this is more just shrimp, calamari and mussels 

[KarmaCruisers]

Saw on the steam table they had roasted vegetables; which I need vegetables.

This is Jetty Park right there and Cape Canaveral. Cocoa Beach is about 3 miles south - if you zoom way in, it's near the top of the picture.

Thank you. 
mental health is much tougher for me than my physical health journey; becuse there’s no real documented path on how to accomplish it; but I strive to be more mentally healthy everyday.

Decided on doing Cucina tonight; probably will do Guy’s that last night.

[KarmaCruisers]

I just put in my order at 7:12; we’ll see if I can get out of here by 9. I hope so, because they have a “magic” show in the main theatre that I’d like to make. After that though it’s bed, as an early morning to get my 18-minute mile in, and have breakfast; gotta meet at 10 for the HomeSweetHome excursion, in the port…so that means I’ll probably need to be walking OFF the boat at 9:45.

[KarmaCruisers]

Starter:

Nona’s meatball

[KarmaCruisers]

Main course:

Penne Pamodoro and Chicken Parm, with a side of roasted cauliflower/broccoli

[KarmaCruisers]

My one actual dessert of the cruise that I’m going to have (as their Tiramisu is really good here at Cucina)

(I also only ate half)

Noyce!

Not surprisingly, no comments on my shirt today.

(had a few comments on my shirt yesterday because no one could understand what it meant…

“I don’t always test my code; but when I do, I do it in production” 

Its a software engineer joke)

[KarmaCruisers]

Fun times for the person who asked

[mlshum]

Looking forward to following along!  I’m on Mardi Gras on the 14th!

My DH felt the same way about the duck rolls. He only managed one bite.

My wife works as a software QA engineer...pretty sure you and her would be fine socially but professionally, might need some ground rules going in...

lol; I also realize the function of QA..but it always makes me feel like “you don’t know what you’re doing, so we pay others to check your work”

we actually offshore our QA team.

A funny story from dinner…

so of course I always get stuck in the back at the “Lonely Diner Table”..but another gal ALSO got stuck back there next to me; but on the opposite side of me. It was funny because we were both solo’s and facing each other at tables next to each other..it kind of tripped out the waiter haha.

She didn’t order much at Cucina, and also told the waiter she didn’t like it very much.

she also was an extremely loud chewer (I think open-mouth but I didn’t want to look! Haha)

 

More than a few people have complained about the food on this cruise I’ve heard…it’s like..what are you expecting!? Or maybe more the question..what do you NORMALLY eat!? I’ve heard a lot of people say “this food has no flavor”..I wonder if people just HEAVILY add salt (and salt products) to their food…that much salt is BAD for you.

I actually really like eating on the ship, because the portions are “correct” for a normal human..and I also don’t need to cook or do dishes!

[KarmaCruisers]

So tonight’s main show was supposed to be something called “M-Theory” but instead they switched it to “Enigma” which is a comedy magician.

he said he’s from Loch Lomond..but having been to Ireland and Scotland, that’s no way a Scottish accent..sounds more Irish or Welsh
