You Can't Always Get What You Want

Oh, it's been a tough day!  First, I went to Wal-mart and both the hummus, and nintendo wii remote attachments I was looking for were out of stock!  I then attempted to purchase an external hard drive at Costco...boom, unavailable.  Aren't these the two stores in the world that have everything you need and more at all times?!!  I guess not.

I was also hoping to have a small break during dry dock to go home, terrorize my niece and new nephew and then head back to the ship to commence the magic that is cruise ship singing.  But no, it appears I will be in the clutches of Princess' talons for the entire 12 days learning one show, no doubt spending more time at Chipotle then is humanly possible.  I do love that Barbacoa flavour, but I don't need 12 days of it!  (Somewhere, my brother is shaking his head is disagreement.)

When you are away from home, things like hummus and electronic devices keep you happy, keep you entertained and focused, and when these things become unavailable on your one shopping day a week, it is heart breaking.  I know, you are all thinking "come on Andrea, let's put it into perspective!"  But with only 4 weeks to go in Alaska, my perspective is this...I have no perspective.  It's too foggy and cold here to see clearly right now, but at the end of the day, I have to be thankful I have a job, and my husband with me. 

I have to keep reminding myself that everything happens for a reason, and so perhaps the hummus was rancid, the wii remotes are defective and laden with lead paint, and that Celine Dion is looking for a fierce petite brunette back up singer in LA from September 20th to the 2nd of October.

It could happen, right?
