Selena - I am so glad that we are able to fly Southwest for our cruise. I couldn't imagine having to pay for luggage for us as well as the girls. Sounds like you have it well planned out and everything should work well. I have a small travel hair dryer that has high watts that works great. I think I actually got it at Walmart too! It is very light and compact. Everything sounds expensive there, I think Costa Rica is like that too. Kind of hard to pay for massages at that price when you know you can get it much cheaper at other destinations. Chris and I did two couple massages on our Honeymoon, but that was a special treat for our honeymoon. We will never pay that price again! We have a massage therapist that comes to our house for Chris, she charge $50 for an hour.......plus she does it at our house!

Yes, I have a very hard time paying that much for a massage. Not only can I get it much cheaper at other destinations, I can also get it for half that cost at home. From reading on TripAdviosr a lot of people have the attitude that they are on vacation so they are willing to pay whatever the cost. I do not see it that way. I look at it while I am on vacation I want the most bang for my bucks. Which means if I have to pay $170 for a couples massage that is only going to last 55 minutes, I am going to look into other entertainment that will be longer in length for the same cost.

I did read that there use to be (not sure if they still are there) a cabana set up on the beach with ladies giving massages for much much less. I might look into this. Only thing about this is it someone who is trained or someone who is going to throw on some babyoil and rub your back. A massage is much more than that. Or it is for me.

Howdy everyone. It's a beautiful day in CO. Actually, the whole week will be this beautiful. I have the windows open and loving it.

Selena, I am like you. I like bang for my buck!

Marcie, bet it feels good to get that project out of the way. Where did you go to Mardi Gras?

Jrsy, how did you get that picture of Heidi's collection. Believe me, I know exactly what it looks like!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Ted and I lost our music on our computer when it crashed. We bought a program from Best Buy that is suppose to assist us in transfering our music from the iPod to the computer but we are having trouble. Anyone here ever do it?

New Orleans is about 5 hours from here. Actually, we have a nice size Mardi Gras festival in our area. Probably a total of 10 parades, live music, beer, rides, food. Here's some pictures of Aerial, Marci & I on Sunday. Sorry Jrsy, can't show you what I did to get these beads.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Love the pictures Marcie!

Once I saw all of the photos of you on the Mardi Gras photo sites, I knew that you must have quite a stash. I just gave Chris a cheat code for World of Warcraft and he loaned me the key to the storage locker.

Marcie, all I have to do is look at that first photo and I know that guys are probably lining up to offer you beads.

Marcie I love the pictures!!!! You guys look awesome. I know you had a good time.

I do not see how my friend does it during Mardi Gras. She works for Shell and they get some type of awesome tickets to a great upstair balcony party. All food and drinks are provided and they can stand on the balcony and enjoy. They get this for the entire time. She is normally in one parade but I did not know she had to pay like $300 just to be on a float and they have to bring their own beads!! Crazy!

It's warm out there? It has been in the teens here here for the last 3 days. Tomorrow, thank goodness, it is suppose to be in the 50's and proceed to get warmer as the week goes by. Friday it is suppose to rain but be in the 60's and then even warmer on Saturday. Sounds like grilling out weather to me.

Marcie - great pictures!

Selena - Wow, your friend has quite the hook-up, can she invite other people to go up there that doesn't work for shell.

Jrsy - damn games!

Well they have really cut back and it use to be that she could take about anyone up with her now she is suppose to only take her DH but .... 2 years ago she was able to sneek several up. I never asked last year but I know a lot of people were going to visit her during that time of year. Jeff really wants to go but I can not hang with them. I am a light weight. I also like my sleep.

Awwww

Thanks everyone! We had a blast, I can't wait for next year.

Went to Super Target last night and, now that we've found one, they had at least 4 or 5 Wii Fits and probably 10 or so Wii consoles. No Mario Kart, though.

 

[ImMarcik]

I am starting to get addicted to the wii fit yoga. My body begs for it. I am thinking about getting my fitness coach in a few months to do something different. Last night I did the yoga and strength.

that's a tough one but since there is no Cranberry UpsideDown Cake.. I have to say pineapple. That and the non-existance of the cranberry terriyaki hamburger. Now... that might be something I should look into! Cranberries and blue cheese on a burger.. whaddya think?
