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.

OR....

If someone were to, perhaps, get married sometime this year, that might serve as our WWW instead since I'm sure we'd all like to go to this hypothetical tall person's wedding. Of couse we would have to stop talking in hypotheticals first...

First annual WWW Dates and Details

Alright! Here it is! The details of our first girly get-together, meticulously planned by yours truly.
I want to let you all know that I took my self-appointed responsibility of organzing this weekend VERY seriously and after weeks of agonizing and deliberating, I realized that it's freaking HARD to come up wih something cheap and doable for us all! After watching me stress out for like forever and a day, my sweet little ol' husband proposed a genius idea. Here it is:

Every year a different wild woman will be in charge of organizing and hosting the WWW at or near their place of residence. This is designed so that each of us:
1) has a chance to show off children/spouses/pets/significant others/kindergarten classrooms/favorite casinos
2) has at least one year when she can plan whatever activities she wants (yes Curl, maybe even camping...perish the thought)
3) can attend the weekend she hosts even if she currently finds herself at a significant financial disadvantage

Now, this by no means that the hostess is limited to staying near her place of residence. When you're in charge, we can go to Cabo if you so desire, BUT be aware that that's probably not going to be a reality for most of us until one of you single girls marries some mega-rich 80-year-old oil tycoon and treats us all :)

I figured this is the cheapest and fairest way to make sure everyone gets involved. As for lodging accomodations, if you have a living room that's big enough for a king sized air mattress, we can all stay for free at the hostesses house! If not, we can stay with one of your relatives, in a cheap hotel close by or whatev. As hostess, however, if you plan for us to stay in a hotel, please try to find the cheapest (sans cockroaches) out there and please try to join us since the late night partying/skinny dipping will be the most fun!

NOW, for 2008. We will be gathering in Phoenix, the weekend of October 8-12 (Wednesday thru Sunday), at my house. October is a perfect time in AZ and I figure most of you have no plans to vacation, etc. during that month. I hope to rent a cabin in nearby Pinetop (a couple hours from my house) for at least 2 of those nights. Plan on coming for as long as is feasible for you. I promise that the cabin cost will not exceed $100 per person (as long as at least 4 of you come!) OK!! Mark your calendars and start checking flights! I'll keep my eyes open as well and let you all know if I see great deals. During the weekend, we will also choose the hostess for next year and agree on a date.

I love you all!! I hope everyone can come and that you're all sufficiently pleased with my organizing attempt. I really tried!! Hasta!

Yo...

Last post was October, huh? By the looks of things, we hardly even love each other anymore! Hopefully you all got the email about California in late summer/early fall. So far only Jess and Curl have responded. Please email me (the bodacious Bon) asap and tell me 1. if you prefer LA or san diego 2. if weeks are a possibility at all or if you can only do a (/n extended) weekend and 3. if there are any week/ends in july/august/september that are for sure OUT. I need to hear from you slackers by Wednesday March 5th! (Totally arbitrary day, mind you, i just know that you're all procrastinators, seeing how we all shared in each other's misery at 2am the night before a college project was due and we still hadn't started :)

Love yer cute collective guts!

Phish Food..and missing you all like crazy!

As I bragged in my last post, I went to Vermont and went to THE Ben and Jerry's factory! I went on the tour and wished that you all had been there to experience the euphoria of it all with me.

Yes, I have strong feelings about Vermont's Finest.

All the flavors in circulation at the present moment. Ahhhh...bliss, I tell you.
