I need a codie vacation!!
 
I need a break.

My left foot has really been bothering me. I went to an orthopedic surgeon yesterday and he thinks I have a stress fracture! So I am now sporting one of those lovely, stylish blue boot things.... walking like Frankenstein. Clomp Clomp Clomp

I've had 2 teeth that were a problem, so I had to have prep work done for 2 crowns. ($1200 after insurance pays its part) One hurts like HECK, so I imagine I'll be back today for a root canal... or 2. The good news is that it hurts to eat so maybe I will not eat so much. :toothache

I've had a handyman here trying to finish the bathroom remodel that has been going on for the past 18 months... and if I hear the words "um... I think we have a problem..." one more time I am going to LOSE MY MIND.

The weather has turned cooler and the nights are beautiful here. Unfortunately, my allergies are off the charts right now and the night air makes me sicker.

Thru it all, I work on my gratitude and appreciating that I have a good life.

BUT c'mon... enough is enough! I need a codie break. Somewhere with sandy beaches, fruity drinks with umbrellas, a good book or 2, some wonderful girlfriends who will make me laugh until my sides ache....and, of course~~~ Cabana Boys.

Wanna come?

Cats

Can I come.........I was feeling like crap yesterday and I was thinking I wish I could just go away somewhere......far, far away. I want to be set free from all of this crap that is weighing me down. I don't want to worry anymore. I'm tired, but not to tired to pack. Please, please. please take me with you.

Greet.........save me a seat in the limo.

LIST OF THINGS TO BRING:

Camera - which will only take GOOD shots of us looking our very best, and will give us reminders of how blessed we are to have such good friends.

Sun Glasses - to help with the glare ... because we will all be shining so brightly...

Fly Swatter - to swat away pesky negative thoughts or bothersome A's who might come around.

Boom Box - to play the music when we feel the urge to jump up and shake our groove thangs...

nmt51605 09-14-2007 08:16 AM

Hey Cat You Forgot Something
Sunscreen To Protect Us From Anything That Can Hurt Us.

By The Way How Many Cabana Boys Are We Having. Do We Have To Call Ahead To Make Reservations For Them 2?:)

BigSis 09-14-2007 09:10 AM

Hey Cats
 
I see the foot and teeth don't hurt anymore eh?

I hope you can take the blue thing off your foot before we all leave for that sandy place with the cabana boys. I mean I would hate to see the one you'd get if you had to wear it. LOL

Mr. Dev had one of those things once when he thought he was Tarzan and jumped from a tree he had been trimming. Poor guy! I saw him up in the tree and told him to get down. He wouldn't! I said, "ok, I'm going in the house and turning up the radio so if you fall I won't hear you!" I did! So did he! Poor guy, laid there for half hour before I discovered him with his broken foot!

Next time listen to the Mamma!

Hugs, Devastated

I can vouch for Cat as a wonderful codie vacation partner, she'll keep you laughing until your face hurts.

She'll also teach you synchronized swimming, just like she taught our very own Mooselips.

That's "hand and hand" girls, not "hand and sneaker"...

Woohooo. Mountains and a tropical Island? Heavenly.
I'm bringing six massage therapists to work on us. :Meditate:
After all, we musn't overwork the cabana boys. LOL
I'm in.
Oh, by the way, I say we each get one drop dead gorgeous cabana boy.:dance1:

BigSis, your pic has me yearning for a cappucino. Going to run out and get one now. LOL Laters. Who said I was impulsive?

frankie_b 09-14-2007 03:17 PM

Ann, the pics are great fun. Now, is there one of you in full makeup
in the water ? They tattled about your full makeup. LOL
And I don't mean one of you in your thong in the water. :lmao

guineapigjude 09-14-2007 03:35 PM

Count me in! I'll bring the chocolate and some juicy novels to read on the beach. Oh, and I'll reserve two cabana boys, please. #2 can take over when #1 needs some rest!!

dollydo 09-14-2007 04:21 PM

Me too, Me too....I am ready for a thonged cabana boy...I promise,I won't touch, I'll just peek!

They enhance the truth, lol, Hangin' and I just need a little powder for our noses and a swish of mascara for our eyes, and maybe just a little lipgloss to keep our lips moist :ValD014:

See for yourself...I will bring the kayaks on this codie vacation since I learned to master them well and only got turned around a very few times...
