The Cruise Table

Some people call me quirky. Some believe I'm a little bit strange. Some think I'm downright weird. I gladly accept all those labels. Why? Because I am!

There are lots of reasons people think those things about me. I can sit and study maps for hours. When eating a meal I eat one thing at a time (all my meat, then all my carrots, then all my potatoes etc...). I have to sit in the same pew at church EVERY Sunday. I get my hair cut every 5 weeks to the day... without fail.

And then there's the Cruise Table.

The Cruise Table is a card table we set up in the living a couple weeks prior to a cruise vacation. The purpose of the Cruise Table is to collect all the items and materials we need to pack for our cruise. If you were to walk into my living room right now you'd see a table holding various clothing items, passports, cruise documents, lanyards, medications, sunglasses, toothbrush holders, sunscreen, toiletries, phone chargers and many other items needed for a luxury cruise to the Caribbean.

I know it seems crazy. Why don't we just pack for a vacation like everybody else? Because I'm Mick and I'm quirky. That's why.

We leave in ten days. The Cruise Table will get loaded with more and more stuff leading up to the day of departure. I'm not trying to rub my cruise into anyone's face. I'm just excited and seeing the Cruise Table in the living room makes the cruise a reality.

Six more days of school and ten days overall. I can't wait!
