Lllllllllllllllllllllllladies....

So!! Time to do some planning for out next 3 Dub getaway! Time flies SO fast now that we're all so old that I figured there's no time like the present to start getting things set in stone.

This little post is to get a few opinions from you all...and remember, you can't expect to have a perfect wild women's weekend if you don't let the planner know what you want! So please comment and/or email me!

We decided that Sedona, AZ would be a fantastic place for a getaway since
A. it's got great weather in the spring
B. there's fun shopping AND outdoorsy stuff to do
C. it's BEAUTIFUL and
D. it's close enough to my house that we can really do things on the cheap, if we need to.

On a small budget it gets tricky to have both amazing accomodations and really fun things to do unless you can find a place to stay that's free (like Jess's uncle's place). What I need to know is, would you prefer to stay in a great condo/house with access to a pool, plenty of room to goof around and beautiful scenery right there in Sedona, or do you prefer to spend the majority of our budget on super fun things to do (i.e. jeep tours, rafting, uh...and other fun stuff I haven't checked out yet :)?? I think it would be great either way. We don't necessarily need lots of structured activities to have fun...just ice cream and a chick flick does it for us but it could be a blast to do the whole touristy experience.

There's also a third option...we could stay 2 nights at my house and just have fun lounging about and then spend the entire 3rd day doing crazy outdoor stuff in Sedona. That could potentially be the best of both worlds, but then again you would be sleeping in my basement. :)

Your call girls! Please let me know your preference asap so I can start looking at VRBO rental properties. There are some amazing places available!
I know it's a ways away but I can't WAIT!!!

FYI: I plan on sticking with the previous year's budget of $350 per person since none of you have announced winning the lottery and a couple of you have another mouth to feed. If you start putting it away now, that's just $10 a week, girls!! Make your husband a lunch to take to work a couple of times a week and pocket the savings!! Or, Ames and Emmers, find a stud to take you to lunch twice a week. You might get $350 AND a husband out of it!

Love yas!

FAVORITE MOMENTS

Okay, ladies, email me your favorite moments and I'll copy/paste them in here. I have to say leaking on Amy's hair was a highlight for me, although probably a lowlight for her. :)

More to come . . .

WOW!!! Amy, you're quick on the uptake--I'm just barely putting these all on here and trying to figure out how to do it--the first way was taking FOR-stinkin-EVER. They're not in order at all . . . can anyone edit that? And add in the text-you guys can add/edit this posting right? Can I photoshop some of these (at Amy's request and mine too!) and then put up the new ones? Granted, I don't know how to photoshop or anything. Some computer program should put up a "beautify me" button that instantly makes a person look tan and toned, right? Maybe with waves in the hair, or take out any frizz or whatever. Anyway . . . tHe first two are supposed to be videos but I don't think they worked. HELP!

Target parking lot and sugar

These are both supposed to be videos . . . since I obviously don't know how to do that, I suggest you insert:

Bonnie's music rockin, and the world's sexiest vehicle (the mini van, baby!) driving crazily through Target parking lot with 4 girls making it shake. How often do you see minivans dancing????

Ghetto music and irresponsible driving...

4th dessert of the day... peanut butter and raspberry don't go together do they? Sigh.

Shopping and eating and busting a move...

Lunch! Hmmm, quite the transformation after a little makeup and hairstyling, que no?? Remember the cute little boy and his hat next to us? Amy thought this lunch was a Sex in the City moment, and I think she's right.

Anthro fitting room...we're wearing probably a collective $3700 in merchandise. Next time let's make a run for the door while the lady's holding the camera...We all got a kick out of the poof on Amy's shirt. A little bird-ish, right? Not sure what Bon's wearing, or how Anthropologie charges that much for some stuff.

Yep, more ice cream...

That dang auto-timer....only catches half the (second) parking lot dance party!

Bellagio, dahling!

Other than the lame desserts (good thing the condo was stocked :) that was the most hilarious dinner we've ever attended.

Um, yeah.

Ah...even a Bobsey can look ugly!!

oh yeah...look out Heidi Klum!

No we're not mad...we're trying to look sexy. Note Jess and the pouty lips, Amy looking like she's going to spit and Bonnie's chest thrust. Lis actually pulls off the "I'm so sexy I don't care anything about you" look we were going for :)

Much better!

At this point Captain Jack Sparrow's smoky eyes were looking our way...
