Going to go tomorrow (Sunday) with the family, hope to see some of ya there!

Thank you both, really! Times are hard these days, for sure. While it's not hitting us as hard as some, we're obviously tied to a business that depends on people spending money, and not many people are spending money these days sadly. We're holding our breaths until the end of the year, that is when we'll see if it's time to hang it up on the one location, it's just not making a dime, the partners have actually put more money into it just to keep it out of the red since all this happened. The other location is doing well ironically. This one closing means yet another move though, which no one is looking forward to, ugh. We're both bummed about missing this year, especially since we decided to miss last years so we could save up and go comfortably versus rushing to get everything ready, we were both ready for the vacation then, well now we're for sure ready! gah! This just means more time and more planning and an even better time next year. I swear it! This time next year I'll be bat sh*t crazy so who knows what there will be to write about I hope you guys really do have an amazing time this year, and while we haven't met the whole group in person, you guys seriously are inspiration from afar and no doubt thought about often, we won't be there in person, but will for sure be there in spirit. Tomorrow we're going to the Fort Myers festival, it'll be a bitter-sweet time, but we'll take what we can get for now!!

An update for us, we're not going to be able to make it...once again. And as splendid as it sounds to drag my half-dead and beaten husband all the way there, I'll have to not Not that I wouldn't, I just don't think I would hold up well in jail and all The economy is killing our stores, with that and two managers leaving, it's just not the best time for him to leave the restaurants, so we'll have to miss it once more I am still around lurking and learning, swear it, with 2 years of reading and learning, I think next year we'll do alright. By next year I should also come to terms with prison time and in the event that he can't make it on his own, I will happily use force to get him there Nothing beats family time! Any how, just wanted to post an update so our spots could be used by someone else. Hope you guys have a blast this year, I can not wait to oggle all the images and read all of the stories.

Aren't smoothies awesome? I throw some green in ours (you can pick up some frozen, fresh or powdered wheat grass at any good health food store, or if you're lucky (unlike myself) you can find em in yer "normal" grocery store) either wheat grass, kale, or whatever else I can grab, keeping it low so to still actually want to drink it and not just hold my nose and open my throat and pray I don't taste it (happens often :/) Protein powder (flavored) is pretty good in them also, I get vanilla and throw in a whole scoop and dive in, after not tasting dairy for so long, it's seriously a good treat for me, ha. Now you have me wanting to taste wildflower honey! I only used clover honey before being vegan, and now just alternative sweetners (beet sugar, natural yet non-animal sweetners etc) how does wildflower compare? (Now I am suddenly craving honey! Darn you.)

Vegan ravioli and sauce with potato samosas with chutney, yums!

Aw rats, I was just there 4 days ago and didn't see em. Are they in any special spot or new and out on and end or something? Can't wait to see em, they have such cute lil cutters, I Love making bento lunches, so I use em for all sorts of things!

Oh a new baby. Him (the Mister) and I were talking about next year or the year after and having a new baby, I'll either be very very pregnant or with a younger baby, we shall see. I'm currently enjoying spoiling this one rotten with all the time in the world!

Liam is only four and Aeva will only be 18 months. Trust me. You could bring her along and she would have her share of children to associate with if you decide to. Oh awesome, I was wondering if the kids were school aged or around her age, hrms, I may just make her day and let her know she can come, we'll see what the Mister says, who also thinks her and I are to attached :/

Awww look at the babies. (Ugh man I am a sucker for kids, don't get them near me, I will try to mother them!)

That's what I keep thinking, but then I worry about her sleeping and what not since she is only 4, well would be 5 by then. We do plan to involve her for sure, but I think we both wanted to make a "dry run" to get a better feel of things ya know? I do know we are taking her to the Fort Myers festival, if they still do it this year, granted she has already been to that, I don't know if that is what she is mixing it up with and thinks we would go with out her to that this year or what. And don't worry, I may end of caving on it, I stay home with her and we've spent very very limited time with out each other, I feel guilty doing anything at all with out her (hell she goes to the gyno with me, and that's not even fun!)

everyone seems to be...that's what makes this so much fun hey, we got to spend the night on a ship in ohio !! even the 16 y.o. who doesn't like to play "dress up " got into it and had a really great time !! he got to fire a cannon !! I'm jealous that he got to fire a cannon! Our daughter is really really mad about not being able to come, I told her that we want to go through it with just him and I the first go around or so (really it may always be us, oh come on she has Halloween and Christmas!) and get the kinks ironed out before adding her to the mix...she is not happy about that and keeps saying she's going to come and wear her witch costume (lovely.) So we shall see how that goes, stranding her at Grandma Hussy's (Grandma picked that name at her birth, don't ask) for the 9 days may scar her, I can see the therapy visits already.

I agree, I'm trying to take in as much as I can now, so when it is actually physically in front of me I will be able to at least have an idea of what is pc and what isn't instead of starting out from scratch all around. I still have alot to learn, we all do, I'm sure everyone picks up some nugget of information daily, I love to learn, well so far I love to learn about this, it's all fascinating still, and hopefully will stay as such. Granted I didn't expect to spend such a huge amount of time looking up the history of little things (which is really fun though, ha.) I think newbies trying to learn is an awesome look! Again it's great to hear how helpful everyone is, it really is a great thing. I like to remember where I came from, seems like everyone or at least most here do, which is comforting.

Well it's a new adventure for us, so we will of course play well with others, get me a drink and I may play to well with others, but that is neither here nor there. I'm on holiday, nothing counts! But seriously, it is all new to us, and we're (well mostly me) really grinding to get all the information we can and take everything in, what we can do, we will for sure, I'm not shy about asking for help, granted I wish alot of you lived closer, I'm a visual learner most of the time. We both are easy going folks, I'm a hippy at heart, I can't help but like almost everyone, then of course I'm also a Leo and a female, thats where it gets tricky/crazed

.... oops, so I should of posted my 3 paragraph chatter to her about my own nipple work, showering, hair brushing while naked, tight bra's etc instead of messaging her? Aw crap.
