morning Elle! how was your evening?

hooray for wednesday, the week is half over! oh, i got to see E last night before he went to work. now i really wont see him for another 3 days!

It was OK. Went to dinner with FF''s parents. We got indian food. Tofu curry.

We watched part of the hockey game, then his parents left around 10.


I passed out after the red wings lost.


Glad you got to see E before he left, but that sucks you don''t see him for 3 days!


I have one more day, then I have Friday off... then FF and I are heading up to Mackinac Island. Yay!

mmm. thats what i had for lunch! did i inspire you? yellow tofu curry. and i will be having it shortly for breakast. er.

so, any dust needed for Mackinac island?

only 9 days till vacation. I am NO not bathing suit ready.
i keep on saying i will stay away from carbs. ya-f''ing-right.

Good morning, aud!

I love the curry. FF picked indian food, and I always get the same thing every time we go. Its SO good.

No dust for mackinac needed.

The proposal won''t be until I''m done with school. 3 weeks from today. Then we can start some serious dusting! Plus, FF doesn''t know that we''re going to Mackinac. It''s a secret!

Yeah, carbs are hard to stay away from... they''re so seductive! Luring you in at your weakest point...

Sigh. Bathing suits.

 

[jcarlylew]

aud - morning lady!

. how was your evening?

elle - yeah. carbs. *sigh* i had white bread with onion dip again last night.

. still ate under my calories though. so what going on, on the island?

Onion dip sounds awesome right now!

Do you know what Mackinac Island is? I don''t know if its well-known in Michigan only, or if everyone knows what it is.

never heard of it... must go google!

Its an island in northern Michigan that has no car access... you have to take a boat to get there. There''s only horses and bikes on the island. There''s tons of shopping and most of it is hiking trails, so you can spend hours biking, riding horses, playing near the water.

The atmosphere is kind of like youre transplanted into a different time period.

Oh.. and they have world renowned fudged. The entire island smells like fresh fudge.

 

[Lauren8211]

i love towns where you cannot drive, or have no need to.

LOL

I thought twice about posting it.

Yeah, it''ll be nice to get away from the noise and lights and everything, and just take a break.

Unfortunately, we still get cell service there I think... so we can''t drop the cells!

Yeah, I think I might force FF to just drop it for the weekend. But... he''ll say "But I want to take pictures and send it up to lyfe.net!

I can''t argue with that.

What are you up to this weekend, Jcar?

 

[audball]

My evening was good, just relaxed at home. Your weekend sounds amazing Elle! I want to go on a weekend getaway!

i love veggin out at home. I''ll admit, it is a bit nice having E gone at work so i can watch trashy tv shows, eat avocados for dinner and hog the whole bed at 8pm.

 

[Lauren8211]

Aud, you can hop in my suit case!

I loooooove staying at home with no BF, eating stupid stuff, watching stupid stuff, and taking up the whole bed.

Woot! Roadtrip...

Ditto to the no BF at home, I can watch WE TV full of Bridezillas, etc. Eat cookie dough for dinner and only share the king size bed with Darwin the cat.

It''s a little piece of heaven.

 

[jcarlylew]

ooo. king size bed? i want!

soon we''ll be sharing a full size for 2 weeks

Me too, there isn''t enough room for the three of us, we''d die in a full.

 

[jcarlylew]

elle - sorry i missed your question! this weekend i plan on doing nothing. i will hopefully get to go up to a friends for dinner. I was thinking on my way in today, that on friday i don''t want anyone over, and i don''t want to go anywhere. This weekend we need to pack and clean the apartment before we leave. If something happens to the apartment while we''re gone, i don''t want my disaster bedroom to be the cause!

and ya. sucks about the full size bed, but we''re on a sailboat so i can''t REALLY complain. i think this is our boat

 

[Lauren8211]

Have you guys ever looked at reviews for Hotel Carter in NY?

Its supposedly one of the nastiest hotels in the US.

Tripadvisor lets you upload your own pictures of the hotel, and I''ve been scanning through the user photos because they''re so gross.

Hotel Carter

Nasty.

That is a sexy boat!

I always have to clean before I go away also. For safety reasons, plus... it sucks coming home to a nasty mess.

Awesome! Back in ''06 S and I sailed a 41" catamaran to the Bahamas and went to Abacos, Nassau, Turtle Cay, etc. over the 4th of July. It was awesome.

It was fun, we slept out there a few nights, laid blankets under us so the trampoline netting doesn''t dig into your back, some pillows and a light sheet, many nights it was MUCH more comfortable than down below with the light breeze to keep you cool, especially with the beautiful sky.
