Are you in?

So, I talked to my BFF Chelsea yesterday, and we decided that we needed to GET THE HECK OUT of our homes and away from our lives. Unfortunately, she is the source of the baby's nutrition, so she can't really go anywhere until the weaning. I like to say and type "weaning." So we decided that we would plan a getaway for some time in the future--maybe next spring or summer. Are you in?

Here is what we are thinking...
1. No family.
2. Weekend or 4 days
3. No family.
Vegas?
Little crappy Mexican Riviera cruise?
Mammoth?
Busti?
Are you in? I want you to be in. Weaning.

Whenever I talked about wanting to wean my daughter (which was always), and I would say "wean her", my husband would laugh and laugh. Say it fast. You'll get it.

PS-That's probably a lousy way to introduce myself. I found you through CJane. Hope that's alright. Enjoying your blog.

I am in ....

I have access to a home in Park City..that isn't very far for the rest of you....

I am totally in..I'll even kick my family out and you can all come here and do the SF stuff.....

We do this w/ a few of my friends here every year...we go to the beach near the central valley...it is GREAT.

I am so jealous. A bunch of girl friends are going to do a 3-day spa thing in September - when I'm friggin' about to pop out a baby. And... now - now you guys are going to do something while my new daughter will be getting boob - that's what we call it in our family. On the boob(ie) or off it... Consequently that's what Kalea called it while she was on it... she could ask for it. ;-)

I will have someone on it when you guys are partying. You guys are lucky ladies...

No weaning here. I'm totally IN. Especially if it's Park City, Europe (although not in a w/e or 4 days), Las Vegas, Mexican cruise, San Fran, Los Angeles, New York or Chicago. Not Kansas though. Don't know what we'd do in Kansas.

Not Busti.
Weekend.
Vegas or Park City maybe.
Not Busti.

My pra-lem with Park City is that you KNOW that one of you Utah labies will get sucked back home. Also, Park City is gay.
That being said, I will go wherever, because I will not get sucked back home for anything.

Queen--start saving your milk up--you can do it!

This is Me--welcome! I love to say the following things:
wean her
pickle
Topeka
boobie
bean

Park City is a little gay. They close at 9. I can't have that.

Speaking of Topeka...this morning on Radio From Hell, Kerry quizzed Bill: what is the 'Axis of Evil'? His answer: Germany, France, Botswana and Kansas. Tee hee.

QueenScarlett said...

Saving up milk... now I'm tempted...

If it's spring or summer... how about ya'll head on over to Calif? Either San Diego, Santa Cruz, Monterey... so we get the beach air and spa treatments too. Maybe rent a house and watch chick flicks... plus we can either make food or enjoy all the fresh fare.

Just some ideas - Vegas gets HOT during the summer. And there's a constant rigamorle of tradeshows.

I may be fooling myself...but having this to look forward to is rather fun.

Will we be able to eat street food?

Kayt said...

Can I tentatively invite myself, even though I haven't seen you, Jen, since we were like 12, and I don't know any of your friends?

I can offer to bring chocolate and licorice -- at least enough for myself (and maybe enough left over for one really skinny person, MAYBE -- if I'm not PMSing that weekend), my rapier wit, my winning smile, and if needed to secure the invite - a wad of cash.

I promise I'm mostly house trained ;P

Kayt said...

I forgot ....

whether or not I can weasel my way in, I had a suggestion for where you guys might want to go.

I must preface this by saying I have never been to this place, but I had a friend who went and wouldn't shut up about how much she loved it.

So, for your consideration:

lulu - black or red? And Wigwam?

She made me have a genius idea. We all need to train our bodies to PMS at the same time then we go IN BETWEEN periods and PMSing so NONE of us will have an excuse to act like a moron.

Kayt said...

redhen - I do enjoy both black and red, but am extremely partial to the 4lb. tub of Red Vines they sell at Wal-Mart.

a friend did that particular Wigwam package last October, I think, and then added extra facials and massages once she got there. Couldn't get her to talk about anything afterward, lol

and I am lovin' the PMS re-training idea. just let me know when to synchronize my ovarian clock!

La Yen said...

Wow--such response!
Of course LuLu can come! Especially with that wad of cash.
Queen--we can't do Monterey--I would feel horribly guilty going to Monterey without W (it is OUR town.) But anywhere else is awesome.
Shug--We can eat street food anywhere you want, even Juarez.
RedHen (I feel all spy-y refering to everyone by secret code names) I never need to set my clock because I am on the Zoloft, which makes everything pleasant. Would you like me to bring you an intraveinous drip? It is fab...

Wigwam would be cool, but maybe too pricey for some (and by that I mean me. We gots babies to buy, you know.) But I can save if you can save!

I also have access to a couple of condos--one in Arizona on a lake, and a few in Mammoth Lakes, CA. They have an amazing spa there, plus all of the natury stuff, plus all of the resorty stuff. We would have to drive in from Reno, but it is a cheap flight for all to Reno...

Here are some links for Mammoth. I vote Mammoth. Or Busti.

And it looks like the ghetto Mexico cruises (Catalina, Ensenada) are about $250. Oh, the drinking and the man-whores we could take on! Or we could just play shuffleboard and have sexy pillow fights. Or we could just eat.

Kayt said...

No worries about the Wigwam idea, it was just a thought. I myself am poverty stricken at the moment, but figured I could swing it with enough time (enough being the important word, lol). BTW, how much do babies run these days? Are we talking new car $$, or new house $$? I'm just window shopping mind you. You never know when I might decide to beome a fatter, but obviously way cooler, Angelina Jolie ;)

Personally, I am totally feeling the Mammoth idea. However, you do make the ghetto cruise sound 'hawt'. But just for clarification purposes ... can I play shuffleboard WHILE drinking, and can I have the sexy pillow fights WITH the man-whores? I am a single sistah after all, and baby's gotta get her own.

Oops, did I say that last part out loud? ;P

La Yen said...

Um, new car-ish, depending on how fancy your baby is. (Farther away=fancier.) Much cheaper to use your own junk, if you can. Plus not as many forms to fill out. But with the pain. So, maybe it is sixes.

You can do whatever you want--they are man-whores, after all!

Kayt said...

You crack me up :)

Bring on the man-whores!
