Ladies (& Craig LOL),

Where do I begin?

I don’t even know how let all of you know just how much I appreciate that you shared my birthday with me. I was so touched. I imagine you could tell, but I still want to tell you myself how much it meant to me. Holly was so right when she said the tears on Saturday were tears of joy. And gratitude. And awe. And whatever hell else I can think of to convey how special it was to do something so fun on my birthday and to have such great people there with me to share it.

Hun, you did SO awesome! It was an amazing birthday cruise! YOU ROCK LADY! It was a bummer that you had to ‘work’ a little on the trip, though. Can’t wait to call you when I’m ready to book my trip to Atlantis! Thank you so much for the necklace and earrings also. I love them! And I still think you totally should have gone to that party! There. I said it.

Craig
It was such a pleasure meeting you on this trip. You have such a great sense of humor! The tabasco water was so funny! But, I hope we crazy drunk women didn’t freak you out too badly!

Holly
I will NEVER look at packing the same way again! ROFLMAO You never fail to crack me up and I love that. And I love how you tell it like it is. You chewed my ass out, but I needed it (and I do need it every once in a while – gotta get rid of it somehow!). And I knew that it was out of genuine concern and caring. Thank you. If I move to San Diego, you got my back, right? LOL

Suzette
It was so wonderful meeting you on our Cabo cruise and I am SO glad you came on this one too! And now I can tag you in the pics on FB so that everyone else can see your awesomeness! Cuz you are totally AWESOME! If I get out to San Diego, can I get a reference to your stylist? PLZ????

And I totally didn’t say it enough on the ship, so HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY YOU SEXY BITCH!

Michele
When I brought up the idea of doing something together for my birthday, I was over-the-moon ecstatic when you said you were in. Robert had to yank my ass down off the ceiling I was so excited! I didn’t even know then what an impact this trip would have on me regarding our friendship. We connected in a way that we haven’t in a REALLY long time. I don’t think I can ever explain how much that meant to me, even though I knew you wanted to throttle me a couple of times. That’s just how we roll.

I loveloveLOVE the necklace and earrings! And I love you so much! Remember ‘the circle’? Yeah, you ain’t NEVER GETTING OUT THERE. So don’t even try.

And btw, just when I when I was about to stab the asshat sitting next to me on the flight home that decided he needed his seat space AND MINE, Don’t Talk To Strangers came on my iPod, which made me smile and get a little teary. So THANK YOU for keeping me outta jail. The asshat should thank you too, cuz you totally saved his life.

Love,
Stacey

NO WAIT!

THAT’S NOT MY NAME!
