Easter on a ship

March 31, 2013: Sea Day… EASTER!
It’s been a busy day for me. I got up at 7 to be at a church service at 8, then met Chrissy at 9 to do egg-dying with the kids (Michelle and Kassie had one of the new-crew meetings). In the middle of that, Chase (the DJ) came by and needed my help to get face paint so we could turn him into the Easter bunny. Then, I had to go get extra candy for him to give out to the kids and guests as he wandered around the ship as the bunny. Then, I had to get the eggs for the teens and hide them in the Queen’s Lounge before I went to work at 10 and our egg hunt at 11. We played cards for an hour, then went downstairs for the egg hunt only to find that a cooking demonstration was occurring in the Queen’s Lounge, where I had already hidden the eggs! We went back upstairs only to go back down at 12 when it was done. Less than half of the eggs were left in the lounge, and half of the ones left were empty of candy! What a wonderful scheduling error. I definitely wish the entertainment department had had a meeting to discuss the plans for Easter, that way there would be no double-scheduling of rooms and I would’ve known to get stuff for Chase to become the Easter bunny. It could’ve all gone a lot smoother than it did if someone would’ve at least MENTIONED some of this stuff to me. I didn’t find out until 10:30 last night that I was going to have to help at 9 with the egg-dying!

At least I did get to go to church though. :) The pastor talked about joy, how we should leap for joy at Jesus’ resurrection, and in general all the time because of His return for us. Joy. I’m usually happy, but I really need to work on being truly joyous about life and remembering all God has done for me! I won’t forget it today, despite all today’s problems/insanity.

I went to the show with a few of the teens and then was alone for a little while before a few more came and we played cards until almost midnight I SuperSan-ed then went to meet people at the OB for a while.
