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 . . .
Thursday, April 1, 2010
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????
4th dessert of the day... peanut butter and raspberry don't go together do they? Sigh.
Shopping and eating and busting a move...
That dang auto-timer....only catches half the (second) parking lot dance party!
At this point Captain Jack Sparrow's smoky eyes were looking our way...
YES! WE EXERCISED!
What?! Even Cirque de Soleil can't hold a candle to us? You know it! Stupid human tricks on top of the world, baby!
More sweat!
More Shopping, Eating...well you get the idea.
Ahh, the comfort of having a tall friend's bosom to rest one's head on. Life doesn't get any better than this! unless of course you're all curled up together bra-less in bed and said tall friend begins lactating in your hair. Now THAT's fun!!! Ames, you working on patenting that conditioner??
Remember, cinnamon and cocoa before the strawberries...no wait, butter after the syrup...no WAIT! Agh, I can't remember...
3-Dub Getaway 2011
SO I know the awesomeness of 3-Dub Getaway 2010 hasn't been posted in full, but I thought I would just get you all thinking about next year.
Bonnie has kindly volunteered to plan 2011 and she threw out Sedona (see photo).
I know it doesn't get easier each year to get together, but if we can keep this alive, just think of the awesome getaways and amazing girlfriend time we'll have in 10, 20, 30 years??
Those of you that were not there were greatly missed. Not to the extent that we sat around and moped because of your absence...I mean, any combination of two or three of you results in oodles of laughter and a couple pints of Ben & Jerry's, regardless. But, we hope there will be more Wild Women next year.
The date is still TBD, but I know Bonnie will sort that all out soon. Some of the ideas we talked about, in working out details for future:
- The planner should set the date at least 4 months prior to the trip...and finalize it. No wishy-washy changes...it makes getting plane tickets difficult and more expensive, thus pulling some funds from the group activities.
- A commitment to attend must be in place at least 2 months before the trip. As people pull out, it affects the trip planner's ability to budget and plan. Jess did an amazing job this year, so Bon has big shoes to fill...of course, we all knew that Jess had big feet long ago.... ;)
- And there probably was no need for a bulleted list since I only had two points.
Did I miss anything Jess, Lis, and Bon?
Anyway, I cannot wait to see more of the photos hit the blog. Jess...be kind and photoshop my face and body so I look bangin' hot. Granted, I don't think any single boys view the blog, but you never know....
Misc
That's even better!
We're so cute! Note: no porn cards in this one.
Bonnie lactates while eating frozen cow milk!
Seriously. We are adorable.
Make love to the camera.
Legs a mile long...love it!
The moms and the daughters...HA!!
Big mouths and a BIG garden spade.
She's available, folks!!
Backside...STRONG side!
400 million pounds of chocolate (or something like that). The engineers must have had us in mind!
What kinda light IS that??
OH Jess! Your hair is so funny smelling!!!!!
LOVE ME!!!!
I need crab legs!!!
Aaron Schloemer FOR-EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bobsey chins... This is when I was laughing soooo hard at my own joke: "I was listening to a conversation--obviously, I was there" For some reason it seemed so funny--something about bad desserts, lack of sleep, too much of Bonnie's GOOD desserts, and having stood in line WAY too long for a highly-overrated buffet made everything deliriously funny that night.
Jess lactates...and eats apple :)
Sooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!
uh huh.
